„Eric, has not seen some time, recently you may suffice the scenery, I daily hear your name in San Francisco,” just entered the Venice beach to agree the good dining room, Larry Ellison welcomed, hugged with Eric warmly, so said. The net is worth collecting......
Eric lets loose face beard stretch out Larry Ellison, faint smile: „You are also very sight, heard that recently collected the money, what plans to make?”
„Hey, Eric,” Larry Ellison brings Eric to arrive at a seat, argued impatiently: „You definitely heard any at sixes and sevens hearsay, you look, your telephone, I was not catch up immediately from San Francisco.”
„I , if not telephone, you affirmed after planning to buy Apple, sees me, is right?” Eric satirized one, received the menu from the attendant hand, lowers the head to read.
„Misunderstanding, this definitely misunderstands,” Larry Ellison denied immediately that said: „I these days must handle company, while must fly round in the coast, therefore to your here some negligences.”
Eric has ordered a supper, closes the menu, looks up to Larry Ellison, said with a smile: „If you are very busy, I very understood that heard Oracle was very recently intense with the inor fan competition, they removed in that billboard that outside the Oracle building set up?”
In Eric memory originally, Oracle basically is at a single hegemony condition.
But now, Oracle does not have Microsoft that type market niche that dominates the tabletop operating system, is only North America, has two and Oracle scale suitable database software company inor fan and syba color. And the syba color is also conducting the server service beside the database software, the inor fan equally concentrates on with Oracle the company of database software, the competition of both sides exceptionally is also fierce, ini has even bought a billboard outside the Oracle Headquarters building, above writes one ‚here to have the dinosaur climbs over’ the advertisement language, Eric does not know that this is any stem, but wants to come absolutely is not the word of praise.
Recently, saw that the collection the fund enough has bought Apple, Larry Ellison truly produced has abandoned Firefly purchases the Apple thought alone, except for instigation of good friend Jobs, he also understands, if made Firefly participate, even if opposite party in only held 10% stocks, but the right to speak was not when the time comes lower than this purchase initiator, can cast off Firefly, when the time comes the Apple Inc. domination definitely completely fell in him and Jobs hand.
However, the Eric voice falls, Larry Ellison felt immediately somewhat is scared.
He naturally silly to thinking Eric mentions the matter of inor fan company billboard, but is teasing him purely.
Firefly investment, Amazon that Yahoo and AOL recently just rose, is the super super clients who any database needs to win over vigorously, let alone, under Yahoo is also controlling Yahoo Technology Alliance, faint became the regular decision maker on Internet.
Eric mentioned the inor fan intentionally, meaning of warning is obvious. Now Oracle and inor fan competes the most crucial time, if all Internet companies of Firefly system side with the inor fan completely, two database company evenly matched aspects will be broken immediately.
The certain attributes of database software company and operating system software company actually almost, if both sides widen the disparity, comes under the influence of Matthew effect, a leading side superiority will be only getting more and more distinct, the fate of straggler, had a look at now condition just knows of Apple computer corporation.
Larry Ellison is a very haughty person, this point entire Silicon Valley knows. But he also absolutely is not that type in the person who in front of anybody will display the arrogant disposition, otherwise Oracle will not develop the present scale. At this time, before opposite this young people, he lost all arrogant capital exactly, even also has one destiny to be pinched the dilutedness in hand by the opposite party. Lifted the hand to touch on the forehead, Larry Ellison did not dare to be perfunctory, said earnestly: „Eric, good, this matter truly is I does is not right. However, now the acquisition negotiation just started, I ensure the following all matters will again not be hiding the truth from here the Firefly investment, if you do not feel relieved, can send for joining the negotiations group.”
Eric hear of Larry Ellison admitted defeat, shrugged, said: „I had said before, regarding purchasing Apple I do not have any interest. I thought that Jobs is a very interesting fellow, will therefore participate in this matter. After the purchase is completed, I will not meddle the management of Apple, works as this is an ordinary equity investment. But if you dare to play me, I did not mind that places on your Oracle to shiver together this rotten Apple.”
„Eric, you could rest assured that later will not have this matter absolutely again,” Larry Ellison felt that the Eric final those words some grammar issues, have not actually referred, but realized that Eric has not stressed the meaning that this matter does not put tightly, therefore grins echoes repeatedly.
Eric glanced this guy one eyes, suddenly realized that can become the friend with Jobs, these two fellow some common grounds, that is, are the bastards.
Has some thoughts at heart suddenly, Eric said: „Larry, do you think this matter on such consider as finished?”
„, This, Eric, what do you also want to make?” Larry that relaxed Ellison is vigilant.
Eric is also disinclined to pull any idle talk with this fellow, said: „This, did you know Firefly recently in arrangement «Iron Man»?”
Larry Ellison has gawked , the determination understood anything, said excitedly: „Eric, you want to make me develop Tony Stack, does not have the issue, does not have the issue absolutely, I also thought one are very appropriate, um, the salary we be reasonable.”
About the Eric look glanced glancing, had not found to suit knocks the fellow on opposite that wool face, must say ill-humoredly: „Tony Stack does not have, Tony Stack's driver you do not do dry.”
„No, Eric, even if makes me play a villain to be good, the driver falls the face,” Larry the Ellison as if sudden person comes the insane outbreak, pretending to be serious bargained back and forth.
„Good, then on driver, I will make the person inform your shoots running schedule,” Eric has knocked on the dinner table, has made the decision.
Larry the Ellison book thinks that Eric just must say anything makes the matter that he is caught off guard, hearing be a guest performer a movie, did not have any scruples, nods to agree, but also has inserted funny dialog intentionally two.
Eric has not said obviously that continues saying: „But, I just said is not this, «Iron Man» is a science fiction movie, very suitable science company to implant, therefore, Oracle also participates, implanted expense your 5 million USD to be good.”
Larry Ellison immediately painstakingly under the face, the Oracle every year advertisement marketing budget 100 million USD, 5 million is a very big digit: „Eric, your this is blackmails simply, the cheap point, is 500,000 what kind of?”
„The Yahoo plan next year constructs a large-scale data center in coast as well as Europe respectively, I can consider that gives the inor fan actually the database software orders of these projects.”
„3 million, Eric, you must know that my this CEO makes anything to decide, must undergo the Board of Directors authorization, 3 million was the limit that I can promise.”
„Amazon goes on the market at the end of the year, when the time comes definitely needs the expansion infrastructure. As an electronic business company, database software......”
Larry Ellison pounds on the table, interrupts the Eric half words directly, a face is simple: „5 million, finalized.”
„Oh, is a guest performer Tony salary your 1 USD of Stack driver was good, Hollywood does not allow free to work, but must sign three pieces to make first.”
Larry Ellison is breaking down Mao face, the nod: „Ok!”
Eric nods satisfied, adds: „, This food you invited.”
Has knocked Larry gratefully Ellison, is wants to play own penalty to this, has had the supper, wanted Cliff Peak Manor, the girl called saying that was «The Fast and the Furious» several roles had the whereabouts, Eric has made the driver drive to hurry to Beverly Hills Manor.
Arrives at the mansion of Trousdale manor girl, Eric discovers Gwyneth Paltrow also here.
The girls are pulling the arm of Eric, sits down on the sofa, said: „Eric, Kate to Dominic the role of younger sister Mija's is interested very much, do you think what kind of?”
In original, the «The Fast and the Furious» actor younger sister's role is plays by Jordana Brewster, Eric remembers when this Latin lineage girl is young the appearance can describe with perfect simply, but why does not know, ‚warranty’ short sending referred, crosses 20 years old not to be as if attractive.
This thought was sparkling at heart, Eric looks to Gwyneth Paltrow. As a result of the change of Hollywood history, even if «Shakespeare in Love» did not have shoots to come out, Gwyneth Paltrow wants again a water movie queen also absolutely is not that easy matter. However, after all is the Hollywood two generations, Mija this type looks at the somewhat immaterial role, why Eric will be very curious she to be interested.
„Gwynnie, I think that you definitely have looked at script, Mija this role is only a vase, does not have any development space, but can make you face before the audience riper.”
Gwyneth Paltrow looks at Drew greasily in Eric appearance, in the heart envies, some expression hidden bitterness, said: „I also are more suitable I the role, what a pity continuously couldn't find?”
Said that Gwyneth Paltrow on a face hopes for that looks to Eric, in the two years, she almost must participate performance every year 34 movies, leaves the mirror frequency to make these not have the bottomless Hollywood new person to envy sufficiently to go crazy, but the personal connection of family is impossible to help her attain any heavyweight role, these movies have almost not caused any reaction.
Last year cooperated with Miramax with great difficulty novel reorganization movie «Emma», wanted to try the Oscar strategy, finally actually linked a Golden Globe Award nomination not to attain. Therefore, at the suggestion of her manager, Gwyneth Paltrow plans to change the strategy, increases itself the beaming with joy opportunity in big manufacture movie, this can also promote the popularity as soon as possible.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer is planning to start the «The Fast and the Furious» series, considered that this is the Eric personally screenwriter work, Gwyneth Paltrow this time then to Drew proposed that wants to try a role. Before then, although in the both sides surface kisses like the sisters, but Gwyneth Paltrow has not used Drew this relations at the movie, lives in Hollywood, she also understands that favor type of thing, with 1-2 times, are many did not work. Even if family personal connection, most also can only help her attain Heroine of some low cost single-handedly movies, wants the superior, must depend on the work speech eventually.
Eric said that Mija this role not anything room, Gwyneth Paltrow naturally understands.
But Eric had also underestimated the movie that he writes personally at the stir that Hollywood causes, this is an agent movie universe delaying series, by the present agent movie universe in the Hollywood influence, even if the vase role of this series, sufficiently causes coveting of many star.
Eric looked that Gwyneth the appearance that Paltrow wants to throw, smiled, compares in ordinary Actor that Hollywood struggles to struggle, she had the resources that all people have not been able to compare, Eric by a she small pitiful expression is moved, said: „This need opportunity, you are common with Drew, does not need to worry, perhaps quickly bumped into the appropriate role, um, if were interested in Mija this role, you tried.”
Gwyneth Paltrow is very disappointed, wants to refute her to be possible compared with Drew greatly several years old, but looks at girl that tender and delicate cheek, this words she definitely said that comes well.
A Drew appearance, the eyeball winked grinningly winking, has not pointed out mistakes actually the mistake in Eric words, said: „Was right, Eric, I had found that two Actor that you said that um, called Paul Walker and model/pattern Dusserre was right. I and Amy looked together, Paul Walker also calculates, but that named model/pattern Dusserre simply is a blockhead/wood.”
Drew said that toward the living room in looked the twin of television said sentence anything, Natasha quick brought to give Eric a document.
Looks at Eric to open, the girl also said: „The screen test recording tape, do you want to look at?”
Eric opened the material to look at Paul Walker and model/pattern Dusserre's material, they hit to mix for several years in Hollywood, was not any new person. In order to avoid choosing the trouble of corner/horn, Eric simply made the girl go to look these two people directly: „Screen test video recording will look tomorrow again, but, the movie selects Actor, is never selects the performing skill to be best, what is most important is appropriate, otherwise Robert De Niro and Merrill Streep has become the Hollywood busiest star.”( To be continued.)
