Chapter 5282: The Order of Seniority Is Messed Up

The war between Ellison and Bill Gates has come to an end for the time being. However, the influence of this war on the whole world is unparalleled.

‘Oracle’ will only provide database link services for ‘Pangu System’! This alone is enough to cause trouble for companies all over the world. At present, Oracle’s core product is the database system, which has always been a leading product in the database field. It can be said that the database system is currently the most popular relational database management system in the world. The system has good portability, is easy to use, and has powerful functions. It is suitable for all kinds of large, medium, small and microcomputer environments. It is a high-efficiency, reliable and high-throughput database solution.

And this database system also supports a lot of platforms, including all system platforms of companies such as ‘Apple’, ‘Microsoft’, and ‘IBM’. In other words, as long as you use the ‘Oracle’ database, then your company’s own system software does not need to be replaced, and it can be perfectly matched. This is also the reason why ‘Oracle’ leads the world.

And now, Ellison announced that it only supports the ‘Pangu’ platform, which is life-threatening! No, to be precise, it is killing these companies. If you only support Pangu, what will happen to these companies? What about their systems? Do you want them to change their systems? Replace them all with Pangu? Regardless of whether Pangu is really that good, the cost of changing the system alone is a huge sum.

Crazy! Is Ellison crazy? All companies questioned Ellison at the first time and expressed strong dissatisfaction, claiming that if Ellison acted so recklessly, they might consider database software from other companies! If Ellison did not give up his extremely stupid and impulsive decision, then they would consider the database software of Oracle's competitor, Germany's PeopleSoft.

If Oracle is the industry's number one database supplier, then Germany's PeopleSoft is the second. It's just that Oracle has better support and compatibility. It is easier to use, so they will choose Oracle. But Ellison was so chaotic that they had no choice but to choose to turn to the German company.

In this regard, there was naturally a lot of discussion within Oracle. However, Ellison currently holds 50% of the shares. Since the last time Oracle encountered a hardship, Ellison has controlled half of Oracle's shares. Therefore, now in Oracle, he has absolute say. You can question his decision, but you can never change his mind!

"Huh, Ellison is making a fuss. If he simply supports Pangu, he will die miserably!" Bill Gates said coldly. Of course, while waiting to see how Ellison ends, he is also urgently contacting a lawyer. Go and sue Ellison and Lin Feng. This time, he must make them apologize to him in court!

On the day of the trial!

"Your Honor, this is the video recording of that day.

This video can clearly prove that Ellison used Chinese to humiliate my client Mr. Bill Gates that day. In China, "turtle grandson" is an extremely humiliating word. In ancient China, if you insult someone in person, you will definitely be beaten up, and you will not bear any legal responsibility. Even in today's Chinese society, insulting someone in person will definitely lead to a beating, and Chinese law will not pursue the beater too much. It will only require him to pay the medical expenses of the beaten person. And in the private sector, the beater will be supported! So, my client demands that Ellison and Lin Feng apologize in court!" Bill Gates' lawyer said loudly while holding the video evidence.

Naturally, the lawyer who appeared in court on Ellison's side was "Ron Law Firm". Tom is one of the top lawyers of Ron Law Firm.

"Your Honor, we are positive about the authenticity of this video. This is indeed the picture of that day. But we have disputes about the insulting word mentioned by the defense lawyer. Of course, the word "guisun" is an insult in China. But it also means the tenth generation grandson. The son of the son is a grandson, the son of the grandson is a great-grandson, the son of the great-grandson is a great-great-grandson, the son of the great-great ... and the son of the great-great-grandson is a great-great-grandson. The son of the great-great-grandson is a great-great-grandson." Tom explained.

"Defense lawyer, please explain briefly!" The judge was confused. This is very simple in Chinese. But to translate this "guisun" into English, that is too complicated. So many grandsons are going around in circles, and the judge is dizzy!

Dizzy!

"That is to say, my client is Mr. Bill Gates' tenth-generation grandson. And who are Mr. Bill Gates' ancestors ten generations ago? Mr. Gates' father is William Henry Gates II, his grandfather is William Henry Gates I, and his descendant is William Henry Gates Sr., and so on and so forth. I want to explain clearly to your honor the concept of generations in Chinese. The father of the father is the grandfather, the father of the grandfather is the great-grandfather, the father of the great-grandfather is the great-great-grandfather, the father of the great-great-grandfather is the heavenly ancestor, the father of the heavenly ancestor is the liezu, the father of the various ancestors is the great ancestor, the father of the great ancestor is the distant ancestor, and the father of the original ancestor is the originator. In China, there is a saying that one has been unlucky for eight generations, which means that one has been unlucky since the originator!" Tom explained with a smile.

The judge was already exhausted, and he was about to faint when he tried to carefully identify Tom's ancestors and grandchildren. The Chinese generational division is too detailed! It is indeed a country with a history of 5,000 years, which makes people awe! Of course, it is no wonder that such a complicated country was opened by Western countries with powerful ships and cannons in modern times and became the object of division by the great powers.

"We all know that Mr. Gates has Jewish ancestry, and who is the ancestor of Bill Gates? He is a standard Jew, born in 1597, named Carl Henry Gates. He graduated from Oxford University in England, and then on April 16, 1618, under the leadership of Ginnig, he and 22 missionaries including Johann Adam Schall von Bell, Deng Yuhan, and Luo Yagu, dispatched in the name of the Portuguese government, set sail from Lisbon to the east. On July 15, 1619, Schall von Bell and his fellow believers arrived in Macau, China. It was the 47th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty in China. After that, China experienced the entry of the Manchus into the customs and the ascension of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. Afterwards, Schall von Bell and others stayed in China. And Carl Henry Gates left China in 1642 and returned to England. According to our research, he returned to England with a mixed-race child. This should be your distant ancestor, Link Henry Gates, Mr. Gates." Tom explained.

Bill Gates' face changed immediately.

"Your Honor, I object to the defense lawyer's unfounded speculation here." The prosecution lawyer immediately refuted. He felt something was wrong.

"Your Honor, all my speculations are based on our investigation and are based on facts. I believe that the Gates family should have such records. Of course, I have a research data in my hand, which can be presented to your Honor!" Tom handed over their research report.

The judge looked at it and felt dizzy. There was a thick stack of paper, which recorded the results of their research in detail, as well as various comparisons of witnesses and physical evidence.

"Defense lawyer, please continue to explain, but please briefly explain the ins and outs of the matter!" France spoke.

"At that time, this Link Henry Gates was born to a woman from the side branch of the Lin family. As for the name of this woman, it is impossible to trace it because it has been covered in history for too long. But if we infer at that time, it is the granddaughter of the outer branch of the Lin family's head Lin Hanzhu, and this head of the family is the ancestor of one of my clients, Mr. Lin Feng. So, according to the calculation, Mr. Gates is the granddaughter of my client. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with my client scolding Mr. Gates as a granddaughter. As for Mr. Ellison's scolding, it is because my two clients are friends regardless of age and call each other brothers. According to the Chinese theory of seniority, it is reasonable for Mr. Ellison to scold Mr. Gates as a granddaughter!" Tom said with a smile.

Puff! At this moment, Bill Gates was almost vomiting blood in anger. This is nonsense, complete nonsense. How could he be the granddaughter of Lin Feng, and what distant ancestor he has, let alone the child of a Chinese woman, this is nonsense!

"This is slander! This is a naked slander of my family!" Bill Gates shouted angrily.

But soon, Bill Gates was calmed down by his lawyer. This is a court, and he will be kicked out of the court if he roars like this. In particular, as a public figure, once he speaks without restraint and says something he shouldn't say, it will not be good for him or Microsoft.

"Your Honor, I think this is just the one-sided words of the defense lawyer, and it is not credible at all!" said the prosecution lawyer.

"Your Honor, these are all historical materials that we have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to collect, and they are all true and verifiable. If the prosecution lawyer doesn't believe it, they can go and check it again!" Tom smiled and said, "But before they can find evidence to deny this relationship, I think my client's insults to Bill Gates are not insults, but just calling a junior!"

"Your Honor, I don't need to investigate at all. If according to what the defense lawyer said, my client is the grandson of the defense lawyer's client, but judging from the age of the two, my client is one generation older than the defense client, how can he be eight generations younger? This is simply nonsense!" The prosecution lawyer refuted loudly.

"Prosecuting attorney, this is why you don't understand China. In China, a newborn baby may be the great-grandfather of an old man. You don't even understand the Chinese generation system, how can you bring a lawsuit?" Tom sarcastically said. (To be continued)
