Chapter 559 US$18 million to purchase 70% of Oracle’s shares!

May 29, 1980.

Office of the Chairman of RSI Corporation.

9:00 am.

Ellison is busy in front of the computer.

Now he is very worried. On the one hand, RSI Company has no business at all. On the other hand, the company's rent and employees' salaries must not be less. These are all pressures on him.

He and Robert searched for Future Capital for three months. During this period, although Future Capital had talks with them, they did not formally discuss financing. Instead, there were constant rumors that their competitors might be financed by Future Capital.

This has worried Ellison for a long time, and he feels like he has lost a lot of hair.

I have to say that starting a business is really not that easy.

At this moment, the landline phone in his office rang.

"Hello, this is the headquarters of Future Capital. Is this Mr. Ellison?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Our general manager, Mr. Yuan, formally invites you to discuss financing."

Are you officially talking about financing?

Ellison almost jumped with excitement.

"Thank you for the notice. I'll be ready to go there immediately."

Ellison hung up the phone and almost jumped up with excitement. All his worries seemed to have disappeared at once, which meant that Future Capital might be financing RSI.

Ellison ran to another office, where Robert was found.

"Robert, we are going to succeed. Future Capital has notified us to formally discuss financing."

real?

Robert couldn't believe it either.

He thought Future Capital had given up on financing them.

It actually took three months.

They immediately got ready and drove to Future Capital.

When the car they drove just arrived at Future Capital, the security guard let them in.

When the two got out of the car, Yuan Tianfan had already sent someone to take them to the conference room.

Ellison and Robert came to the conference room.

In addition to meeting Yuan Tianfan, General Manager of Future Capital, Langdon, Director of Human Resources Department, and Navia, Director of Finance.

That is these three people.

"Mr. Yuan, hello."

Ellison and Yuan Tianfan greeted each other and shook hands with each other before sitting down.

"Mr. Ellison, Mr. Robert, regarding your company's need for financing, after our three-month inspection and process at Future Capital, we can formally discuss financing matters. Among them, Future Capital proposed to raise financing at a price of US$8 million. 70% of RSI Corporation.”

8 million US dollars in exchange for 70% of the shares!

Ellison and Robert were both surprised.

It’s not that I feel there is too much money, but that I feel there is too little money.

Future Capital financed Pingguo Company for nearly US$400 million to buy 30% of the shares.

Now I want to buy 70% of the shares for US$8 million.

"You can also express your opinions, or you can disagree with our future capital financing amount and share requirements." Yuan Tianfan said directly.

Both Ellison and Robert felt that Future Capital wanted too many shares. On the other hand, they felt that the amount of financing given was too small.

Only $8 million.

In their opinion, it's at least tens of millions of dollars.

"Mr. Yuan, first, we don't want to sell too many shares. Second, the financing funds provided by Future Capital are too small and do not meet our inner requirements."

"No problem, you can mention it, but whether we agree or not is up to us to decide. What's more, you also know that there are many similar database companies like yours in Silicon Valley, and we can provide financing to other companies at any time."

This is what scares Ellison and Robert.

In Ellison and Robert's view, if they received large amounts of money from Future Capital, they would acquire similar companies as soon as possible.

What Yuan Tianfan said now frightened them.

If Future Capital does not provide them with financing, they will have to find other capital companies for financing.

However, this is too difficult.

"Mr. Yuan, can you let us go back and think about it?"

"Can."

Ellison and Robert had no choice but to leave first.

After leaving the Future Capital Industrial Park, he returned to RSI Company and immediately found another shareholder, Edward.

The three of them didn't have the original surprise.

Because according to the financing amount given by Future Capital, as well as the financing shares, it is more like acquiring their company, not like financing their company.

There are a lot of things like this in Europe and the United States, and it's normal.

The founders of many companies have fewer and fewer shares.

However, Future Capital now wants too many shares.

"Robert, Edward, what do you think we should do?" Ellison said helplessly.

He had been waiting for three months, but he didn't expect to see this happen.

Robert and Edward were also a little embarrassed.

They always believe that the database will have great potential in the future, but it has no performance yet and it is difficult to convince others without data.

Today, this is what Future Capital can provide.

They either give up or look for other capital companies.

However, Ellison was unwilling to give in. He was really afraid that Future Capital would directly raise funds for several of their competitors.

After those companies get the funds, they will immediately surpass them.

"Let's think it through first and then go to Future Capital to talk to them tomorrow."

. . .

That night.

After Yuan Tianfan came back.

Report to Yang Ming on the financing of RSI Company.

"Boss, Ellison and Robert were very unhappy when they learned that we were buying 70% of their shares for $8 million."

Yang Ming had already guessed this.

Jews are all greedy people. Even if Ellison is a Jew who grew up in country M, the genes he carries in his blood are like that.

"Continue to talk to them. Of course, according to my idea, the $8 million is really just to buy their shares. When the time comes, I will inject another $10 million into RSI Company."

Another $10 million injection?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to raising $18 million for RSI this time?

That's a lot of money.

In this era, it is really not that easy to get 18 million US dollars in financing at a time.

Even in the next thirty or forty years, it will be very difficult for ordinary companies to obtain such a financing.

. . .

the next day.

When Ellison and Robert came to Future Capital again to talk to Yuan Tianfan, including financing shares, whether they could be reduced to 50%.

It was clear that Ellison and Robert Edwards wanted to continue to control RSI.

Yuan Tianfan said directly that the number of financing shares cannot be reduced.

If they don't want to, Future Capital is outright acquiring their competitor's companies.

This time, Ellison and Robert were really confused.

They believe that Future Capital does what it says it will do.

Looking at the two Ellisons, Yuan Tianfan said: "For your company's financing this time, Future Capital is only equivalent to purchasing 70% of the shares. In addition, Future Capital will also inject another 10 million US dollars into RSI." As working capital. In other words, this financing is equivalent to US$18 million."

Another $10 million?

Isn’t that $18 million?

This time, Ellison and Robert's expressions were really different, and they almost cried out in excitement.
