Chapter 142: Larry Ellison is scared to pee!
On this sunny April day, it is so pleasant to go to the beach to sketch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Zetian can't draw, but Yu Jingqiu has been painting since elementary school.
Riding in Li Zetian's silver Rolls-Royce convertible on the dangerous road, the two came to Santa Monica Beach, the most famous beach in Los Angeles. Santa Monica Beach stretches 2 miles along the coastline, where people can play beach volleyball, take a leisurely bike ride along the shoreline, enjoy the ocean breeze, or soak up the warm California sun. Along the coast there are restaurants, cinemas and resorts, and not far from the beach is an atmospheric pedestrian street, Third Street Walk, with shops selling a variety of specialty goods, as well as trendy boutiques and restaurants offering a variety of cuisines.
The two came to the balcony of a hotel, Yu Jingqiu was concentrating on sketching, and Li Zetian leaned on the railing and looked at the seascape, occasionally walking back and forth. In order not to interfere with Yu Jingqiu's painting, he has been silent. After a while, Li Zetian turned to Jingqiu and said, "How is the painting? I'm waiting to see an outstanding work of art." ”
"Oh, wait patiently, I haven't finished drawing yet!" Yu Jingqiu hurriedly blocked with her arm, for fear that Li Zetian would see the draft she had completed.
"Hehe, don't be like this, let me take a look first......" Li Zetian turned to Yu Jingqiu's other side. Yu Jingqiu insisted at first that he wouldn't let him see it until he finished painting. But in the end, I couldn't resist his stubbornness, so I had to let him see it.
"Come, let me see how the music students at Harvard University draw. Uh, I thought you were painting landscapes......!
Li Zetian was a little unexpected, it turned out that Yu Jingqiu painted his portrait. "I'm afraid this is deliberate, that's why I was painted so ugly!" Li Zetian said in a pretending serious tone, pointing to his crooked nose and mouth.
Yu Jingqiu snorted and said with a smile: "Who let you walk around and didn't let me draw well, it's all your fault!"
"You don't draw well, blame me......"
"That's what it was!"
"Okay, blame me, my wife is a very powerful painter......" Li Zetian wrapped his hands around Yu Jingqiu's body and kissed her on the cheek.
The two talked and laughed, and they were very happy.
After a morning at the beach, I went to a panda fast food restaurant in Los Angeles at noon.
Yu Jingshan has now moved from New York to live in Los Angeles, and often stays at the panda fast food restaurant here. Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu also had time to visit him often.
Just finished having lunch with Yu Jingshan, a phone call came.
Yu Jingshan answered the phone, shook his head and smiled.
Li Zetian asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Our Panda fast food restaurant is the first restaurant chain group to use computer software to manage, so there is a person who always calls me to promote Oracle database software, saying that he can help me manage Panda fast food restaurant more efficiently. However, I think the software written by Zetian is already very good, and there is no need to spend money on any database software. ”
Li Zetian's heart moved, Oracle database, isn't it Oracle?!
Li Zetian hurriedly asked, "What's that person's name?"
"Looks like it's called Larry Ellison......"
That's right, it's him, the boss of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, and the richest after Bill Gates and Warren Buffett!!
"Dad, please help me meet him, I'm very interested in his software and company!" Li Zetian said with a smile.
"Well, okay, I'll call him back now. ”
Yu Jingshan picked up the phone and began to dial, although he didn't think that Oracle database software was any good, but since he could be so valued by his son-in-law, it showed that this software had merit. Maybe it's because I'm not in the IT world, so it's hard to see the value of Oracle database software.
At this point, the phone went through.
"Hello Mr. Yu, have you decided to use our product?" Larry Ellison said with some excitement, and shortly after the phone was disconnected, the conversation actually came back again, which was most likely the other party agreed to use his company's database product.
"Hello Mr. Larry Ellison, let's not talk about that, can you stop by the main restaurant of Panda in Los Angeles right away?"
"Yes, no problem, I'll drive over right now!" Larry Ellison excited.
After the call, Larry Ellison shouted to the three people in the company, "Hey guys, we're going to have new customers soon!"
The company has only four people, with Larry Ellison holding 60% of the shares and $2,000 in start-up capital.
"Which company is it?" the other three were shocked and hurriedly asked.
"It's the !!Panda chain," Larry Ellison said, walking outside, "The founder of Panda just called me and asked me to go to Panda's Los Angeles headquarters, I'm going to rush over right now, everyone is waiting for my good news!"
In the blink of an eye, Larry Ellison was out of the garage.
The other three still haven't come to their senses.
"The Panda fast food chain uses our Oracle database software, which is a chain with more than 50 outlets, and the company is expanding rapidly. ”
"If this order can be signed, Oracle can earn at least 100,000 US dollars!"
“……”
Two hours later, Larry Ellison rushed to the Panda restaurant.
He introduced himself to the store manager and said, "Mr. Yu called me over......
"I know, please come with me. ”
The store manager took him up to the second floor.
Coming to the second floor, Larry Ellison was stunned for a moment, the characters that appeared in front of him made him feel that he was in the wrong place, only to see the billionaire Chronos. Yu Jingshan drank tea slowly with a teacup.
"Mr. Larry Ellison, please come and sit down. Li Zetian beckoned and said.
Larry Ellison struggled to keep himself composed, then stepped forward to greet everyone before sitting down on a chair across from the coffee table.
Li Zetian asked with a faint smile, "Mr. Larry Ellison, I heard that you are selling a set of software called Oracle database?"
"Yes!"
Li Zetian smiled and said to himself: "In 1976, IBM researcher Ted Codd published a landmark paper "R System: Database Relational Theory", which introduced the theory of relational databases and the query language SQL, and the article described in detail his 10 years of research results and how to implement it! ”
"Hmm......" Larry Ellison nodded in response, shocked, the other party obviously knew a lot about databases. What's more, it seems that he also attaches great importance to databases, and Chronos Li's Microsoft is a software giant, and if Microsoft wants to develop similar database software, Oracle will not be competitive.
Larry Ellison was very apprehensive and thought that if he were the owner of Microsoft, he would definitely develop the database software himself, not buy it from another company.
At this moment, Li Zetian continued: "There should be many people who think that relational databases will not have commercial value, because the speed is too slow to meet the needs of processing large-scale data or a large number of users accessing data. I think these people are outright idiots, though!
In 1965, Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel, once proposed a theory, called Moore's Law, which states that when the price is constant, the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit will double every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double. In other words, every dollar that can be bought for a computer will more than double every 18-24 months. This law reveals the speed at which information technology is advancing.
Moore's Law, although speculative, has been a trend for more than a decade and is here to stay. Therefore, according to Moore's Law, it will not take a few years for relational databases to handle large-scale data or a large number of users accessing data, and have tremendous business value. ”
Larry Ellison was in a cold sweat at this time, Chronos Li had already seen the value of relational databases, how could there be room for oracle to survive! I thought that I would sign a big order here, but I didn't expect it to be like this......
Despair!
Apathy!
Li Zetian didn't care how ugly Larry Ellison's expression was, but continued: "The relational database theory was proposed by IBM, but why didn't IBM plan to develop it? The main reason is because IBM now has a well-selling hierarchical database product, IMS, and launching a competitive product will affect IMS's sales and personnel work. Undoubtedly, this gives other companies a great opportunity! Whoever can grasp this opportunity will become a billionaire! Mr. Larry Ellison, drink tea, this is the most authentic West Lake Longjing tea in China, and it will not taste good when it is cold. ”
"Hmm......" Larry Ellison replied blankly, holding out his right hand to take the cup, but his hand trembled in disobedience......
Well, pretending to be a force won't scare him!
Li Zetian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
