Chapter 021: Tomcat Scouting

"Mr. Sue, this is Larry Ellison, the owner of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, and his products can be found all over the world." Aldrich introduced to Su Hongwen.

Su Hongwen was interested when he heard this, although this was the first time he had met Larry Ellison, but in the original time and space, he often saw news about the world's super-rich man on the Internet.

With a total net worth of nearly $33 billion, Larry Ellison ranks third on the Forbes list of wealth, but people like to gossip more than his wealth.

Larry Ellison is especially fond of pleasure and profligacy, arrogant, and likes to socialize with many beautiful women, and people call him "Silicon Valley Flower-Flower-Male", which directly leads to mixed reviews of this business wizard.

His sons David Ellison and Meghan Ellison are also famous, and the rich second-generation siblings have invested heavily in Hollywood movies, and are called "Hollywood upstarts" by industry insiders.

can meet such a super-rich man with character, Su Hongwen is still quite interested.

"Mr. Ellison, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Su Hongwen looked at this arrogant super-rich man with curious eyes, and then stretched out his right hand and smiled.

David Ellison nodded noncommittally, casually started with Su Hongwen, and said, "Su, sell me your dream island, and the price is as you like." ”

Su Hongwen was stunned, he didn't expect Ellison to offer to buy Dream Island so directly, his head didn't react for a while, and he was stunned.

Fortunately, Su Hongwen was only stunned for a few seconds, then smiled softly and said, "Mr. Ellison, my dream island is 309 square kilometers, and the sovereignty and ownership are all my private. ”

Another meaning of Su Hongwen's words is that although you are a rich man with a net worth of more than 30 billion US dollars, if you want to buy a dream island of 309 square kilometers with sovereignty and ownership, I am afraid it is still a little bit close.

After all, net worth is net worth, and it is impossible to directly take out tens of billions of cash!

David Ellison didn't seem to understand the other meaning of Su Hongwen's words, and said: "Of course, if your dream island is not big enough and has sovereignty, why should I buy a desert island that is more than 10,000 kilometers away from the mainland of the United States and has no grass?" There are islands near the Caribbean Sea for me to choose from. ”

"Aren't you worried that Dream Island is an active volcanic island? Wouldn't it be a big loss if it was submerged by another volcanic eruption or an earthquake or tsunami after buying it? Su Hongwen asked curiously.

David Ellison laughed a few times, and then said: "Of course I have considered this, so I will send experts from volcanoes and islands to the Dream Island to explore, I just received a message from them last night, in the next hundreds of thousands of years, there is a sixty percent chance that this Dream Island will not have volcanoes and earthquakes." ”

Nima, I said why did all kinds of experts land on the island so soon to study, it turns out that everything is the ghost in front of me!

Su Hongwen complained secretly, and then asked quietly: "Sixty percent?" Isn't there a 40% chance of volcanoes and earthquakes? That's not a small chance! ”

"I can make Oracle bigger, it depends on gambling, I dare to give it a go if there is a 30% chance of winning, let alone a 60% chance?"

David Ellison paused at this point, and then said impatiently, "Say, hurry up, how much are you willing to sell Dream Island to me?" ”

Su Hongwen shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, although I'm not a rich man, I still have billions of dollars in cash, not bad money!" And I have a detailed plan for the future development and construction of Dream Island, and I will not sell it for the time being. ”

After saying this, Su Hongwen saw David Ellison's eyebrows raised, his face was a little unhappy, he smiled and continued: "However, if Mr. Ellison really likes Dream Island, you can buy a piece of land on Dream Island, I welcome rich people from all over the world to live on Dream Island." ”

David Ellison was silent for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "Building a desert island requires a lot of money, remember to call me first when you can't afford to sell the island in the future." ”

The implication is that although you have some assets, it is still far from enough to build such a large island, so contact me when you want to make a move.

After that, David Ellison took out his business card and handed it to Su Hongwen casually, then turned around and left the auction hall and walked away.

Su Hongwen lowered his head and looked at the gold business card full of nouveau riche temperament in his hand, and said with a sigh: "It is worthy of being the third richest man in the world, and using 24K gold to make business cards can only be said to be too capricious." ”

Time flies, and in about half an hour, the auction is about to begin.

But accidents always come unexpectedly.

Just when Su Hongwen and Aldrich were greeting each other with the gold owners who came to participate in the auction, Xiaobai walked up to him with a serious expression and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Su, Lord Starry Sky has just sent urgent news that the aircraft carrier 'Roosevelt' of the Fifth Fleet of the United States, together with three Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers, four Perry-class frigates and a Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, arrived 30 nautical miles northwest of Dream Island. ”

Su Hongwen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a calm expression, he had expected this, if the Mi ** ship did not come, he would be surprised.

"Did the USS Roosevelt take off fighter planes to reconnoitre?" Su Hongwen asked.

"Two F-14D Tomcats took off from the USS Roosevelt and are flying towards Dream Island, and at this time we are talking, it is estimated that they have already flown over Dream Island!" Xiaobai replied.

"Oh?" Su Hongwen said unexpectedly: "Now there are Tomcats in service on the Mi Army aircraft carrier?" ”

"Yes, according to the information brought by the starry sky to consult the original time and space, the F-14D of the Mi Army will be retired after completing the last active flight mission on July 28, 2006, and now the last 22 F-14Ds of the Mi Army are deployed on the aircraft carrier "Roosevelt". ”

Su Hongwen nodded, he was a military fan in the original time and space, and probably knew that Tomcat retired in 2006, but he didn't know exactly when he retired.

After thinking about it, Su Hongwen said softly: "Since the Mi army wants to scout Dream Island, let him investigate, anyway, there is not even a ghost on the island now, and I am not ready to fall out with the Mi government at present, after all, we have nothing now, and there are still many places to rely on Mi Guo." ”

After thinking about it, Su Hongwen said again: "However, we can't be too weak, people are good and are bullied!" Wait a minute, on behalf of me, you will directly contact the US government to lodge a protest against the violation of the sovereignty of Dream Island by the Fifth Fleet of the United States Army, and let the Tomcat fighters of the Fifth Fleet immediately withdraw from the airspace of Dream Island. ”

"What if the Mi government doesn't accept the protest and instead lets the Mi army send people to land on Dream Island?" Xiaobai asked.

Su Hongwen sneered and said: "If Mi Jun really sends people to land on the island, then leave everyone on the island behind, I think this little thing should be done unnoticed by the starry sky, right?" ”

Xiaobai nodded in understanding, then turned around and left the auction site.
