Oracle has generated near abut $39.5b in revenue in the last year but its revenue got declined in the last quarter which is major problem.
Oracle’s talks to acquire TikTok’s operations in four countries are ongoing and have accelerated in recent days, the person said, and it and Microsoft are far ahead of any other companies that have expressed interest.
