we all know that larry ellison is a force of nature, and what he wants, he will get. ♪ >> when larry lison stepped down as ceo, you tweeted, "there has been and always will be only -- will be one ceo at oracle." what did you mean by that? how optimistic about these co-ceo's? >> i am sure they will continue to do a good job just like they have, but we all know that larry ellison is a force of nature and what larry ellison wants, he will get. whoever is the ceo will have to bend to larry's desires. >> larry gave you money to start salesforce. >> he did. he was our first investor. >> salesforce has become the main competition of oracle. >> that might be true. >> what did salesforce do right that oracle has done wrong? >> we really got singularly focused on the vision of the cloud. like what yahoo! and google do, but instead of delivering books or search results or something like that, we are delivering functionality. we have stayed very focused and dedicated to the idea for 15 years. because of that singular focus, we have been able to achieve great success and there is a message in that

larry ellison stepping down. as the ceo of oracle. hp splitting up. ibm struggling.n it comes to incumbents versus startups, how does it play out? >> so every couple of decades, you have this sort of changing of the guard as it were. startups that are really optimized for that disruption have an opportunity to take advantage of that and potentially build the next era of ibm and hp and microsoft. at the same time, you do have incumbents that have a lot of cash. they are led by incredibly smart and astute leaders that understand this change. the changes you are seeing are driven specifically because they know they are being disrupted. clips peter teel said to me for example, hp is not a technology company anymore. it is a bet against innovation. >> that is a provocative statement. but i think in terms of relevance, you have leaders of these companies that are recognizing that their previous strategy would have lead to irrelevance and they have to change that. we have this view that everything is zero sum. ibm does not have to lose for apple to win. or for salesforce to

and even larry ellison has proven that, as well.here they don't let the game be defined by where they started. but most people cannot do it. >> what about google? eric schmidt, chairman of google, recently said that amazon is their biggest rival in search. >> to qualify, he made the comments during an antitrust meeting. there was an incentive to highlight the competition, obviously. but i think there is some truth to it in this case. the nature of search is changing. if you were to search for an item to buy from an e-commerce search on amazon, you know where the reviews are, you know the category it is in, you know how to select prime or not. you don't need those features. google is doing something interesting. they are taking on this endeavor called google shopping express, which i cannot make the math work. i am waiting for someone in the press to follow around one of these vehicles and add up how many stops. i don't see how it can work. >> and they are also trying to do delivery drones as well. >> don't get me started on drones.

larry ellison is oracle's founder and chairman now. he is the first primary strategic thinker.. oracle bundled things and sold it as a site. oracle stock up over 17,000% since its ipo. gains are far more modest. up only 17%. they help to build and change systems with a series of acquisitions, bringing auto new product and talent. stock is down though, since investors are giving hem a break. basically because of rapidly changing pace of the technology in his space. they say really ubd note that he is actually survived and maintained a leadership role at a time when a lot of his rivals that were back there in 2000 they're no longer in existence. >> i know. what's interesting is that john chambers is one where some people are saying he should step down for some period until the stock has rebounded. more recently in the past 12 months or so. >> there's another kind of reinvention. reflection point. a number of people still think it might be a share of the next where he actually -- he has been there since 1995. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. there are many mind-blowing stats
