i wonder what's going to mark , benioff's head right now? how much of a distraction is this talk?hat does he do? kevin: it is a distraction. if you're going to sell a company for $60 billion, it's not a terrible thing. i just think it's a very unlikely transaction. until this happens, we have to put the odds at very small. it's just so big for those large companies. nobody wants to make a $60 billion mistake. we have seen many acquisitions go badly. those are not the type of typical transactions that google does. a double-click or youtube or even an android, in some ways they bought core technology early on and build it from there. i think it is not very likely. emily: on that note, bill mcdermott said that you don't buy companies where prices are going to drop and revenue will be under pressure in the future. corey you have always been , beating on salesforce. what do you think of that statement? cory: i am always loving salesforce. it is not growing like it used to. in the latter stages of growth they have been fueled by bigger acquisitions. this is a company that has grown late

and mark benioff is one of the greatest salespeople of our generation.nd if i were he, i would, if somebody steps up with a number -- i think the shortest unit of time in the universe should be how long it takes them to say yes. >> are salesforce investors going to go for that if it's anything short of $70 billion after this quarter? he's got to convince them after saying he sees his way, the fastest company to $10 billion in sales, all of a sudden, i want to sell it for seven times that number. >> if i were he, that's what i would do. >> and if you believe you're late in the cycle you would probably do it as a shareholder, too. >> i think we know if the shareholders are given a chance to vote. they'll take the cash. >> speaking of cash, we're watching mcdonald's closely today. shareholder meeting in oak brook, illinois. not without it's share of drama. our kate rodgers is watching that. >> we're bringing you the news. the shareholder meet something still under way we have a major victory for shareholders of mcdonald's this morning in a preliminary vote

mark benioff has been adamant that tech companies need to do more. what do you think? : i think that is basically -- that is basically right. i think that is basically true. a lot of the new startups are brand-new. but a big part of this is what the big companies do. and the sort of maturation of companies when they go from being startups to being big companies, and stepping up on their responsibilities. i think that is a big deal. emily: what about inclusion and diversity, something else that you and laura have been giving to? why is inclusion important in silicon valley? mark: i believe tech is inherently inclusionary. tech wants to bring people in. tech wants to include as many people as possible. the reason i am so confident about that is because of the incredible coverage that -- incredible people in silicon valley from the incredible number of countries. the challenge is, we are still underrepresented when it comes especially to women, and then in the u.s. when it comes to african-americans and latinos. emily: should women ask for raises if they think they deserve

katie: one reason it would be hard for them to acquire salesforce is they would have to acquire mark benioffnd if he wants to be vice president of a huge company after running salesforce for so long in that market cap company. emily: it does the scene that he would want to do something like that. katie: exactly. that he would go to oracle perhaps to be a successor to larry ellison? a lot of people said that that was a company that needed a succession plan. emily: partisans are telling us the parties are leaning back from the table. what you make a back? pat: it is to breaks -- make of that? pat: it is super expensive and ask sort of situation where if you are one of those three players and someone is considering doing it? suddenly you need to consider whether you should right? it would totally change the competitive landscape. if you are microsoft and google is contemplating buying salesforce you have got to be all over that and figure out what it means for your business. emily: back in the day you sold a company called double click to google. how much of a distraction is all of this? kevin:

most notably, what would mark benioff do afterwards? $3 billion or $4 billion added to its market cap. do you think it is now overpriced eschew mark -- overpriced? guest: no. it is still below our price target. it has had a short-term big run and stocks that a big run for the year. we believe that risk factor is nothing happens. you still have upside, but not of magnitude. alix: thank you so much. little skeptical of microsoft and a bid for salesforce. for more, the ceo of integrated device technology joins me rum san francisco. they are the maker behind the 4g lte technology. he basically makes the stuff that goes into servers and network equipment. what do you think about microsoft making a bid for salesforce? guest: this is about the future and expansion of the cloud platform and whether you have apps and whether you have a form on which you can run third party apps and how fast can you grow it before the others have it added? this is a phenomenal market share or time increasing opportunity. the question is whether it is too large, w

i don't know that microsoft would need mark benioff as much.-- i'm not sure they're in that part of the cloud business anyway. oracle does. they go from the bottom of the cloud stack all the way to the top through applications. >> well, isn't it true though that there are a couple other potential bidders and it's been rumored, of course that ibm, maybe even hp which there are rumors that they might like to have mark benioff running the company, but microsoft it strikes me has an issue here and that is they have got their own dynamic crm project. so why would they go acquire salesforce when they'd be going head to head pretty hard at it? >> so the dynamics is a much smaller product. they probably have about 2 million users, so it doesn't really quite have the scale and it's more appropriate for smbs, the small, medium sized companies than the larger enterprises. we ran the merger models on a number of companies a week ago in a report we published, and cisco, you know could be as well, it's a bit of a stretch for them to get into that business. i

benioff were at the same ceo summit earlier this week. brent: a lot of ceo's share the same view that he is doing the right thing. i do not believe that mark would come to these things if he did not believe in what they were doing culturally and directly, it makes sense. emily: hp, sap, ibm. cory: they are two companies that are similar businesses which is slinging hardware selling services, and selling a good chunk of software. in both cases you have companies that say we want to be in the software world. so hp is going for the split of the company. there is in no way they could do a split of the company and do an acquisition. they cannot afford an acquisition like this anyway unless it will be compaq where it is issuing equity. a marriage of equals. that is hard to imagine happening but it would help them grow topline or at least not shrink topline. i think ibm is interesting. this is a world of speculation. when you look at ibm, ibm was a company that talked endlessly about cloud. they wanted all stuff into their cloud business. they made the argument that their cloud business is bigger than salesforce's, bigger than anyone's. their sal
