Chapter 170: Technology Flow (8)

At first glance, when he heard about the 2 billion US dollars, Yu Liye even stood up with sweat and hair, and Gan Lizheng had a shocked expression. Businessmen are more sensitive to numbers, unlike many people who say, "it doesn't make sense to have a certain amount of money", in fact, in modern society, money can always be used to describe it.

100 million US dollars, which is the standard of Forbes China list (200th); $400 million is the standard of Forbes America's list; $1 billion has just entered the Forbes World list. To put it a little more, $3 billion is the most basic requirement to enter the consortium, and $5 billion can safely control a large group, such as Zhang Xinyi's Sifang Group.

In the United States, this standard should be raised to $20 billion, and Ellison owns 24% of Oracle's shares, which are worth more than $25 billion, which is theoretically the richest man in China.

If personal assets are above $20 billion, the range of fluctuations is very fast. At this time, personal consumption will basically not affect the total value of assets, because the normal movement of assets will also be more than expenses, for example, a 1% depreciation of the dollar or stocks, Ellison's assets may shrink by 250 million US dollars. In fact, this should be what people usually call "digital wealth", but at present, no one in China has been able to achieve it, and if it is relying on the invisible assets of corruption, Lai Changxing will not be successful, but I don't know if there is a successor. There will be no more than 5 people in Russia who meet such standards.

Personal assets can exceed $50 billion, which means that it is possible to control a world "sex" consortium, such as First Citigroup, Boston Consortium or California Consortium such as the leading American consortium, by the way, many people wonder why the Kennedy family has assets of only more than $100 million, but it is called the American royal family - Americans are always reluctant to talk about this issue, because the Kennedy family is actually part of the Boston consortium, and they are related to Lowell, Lawrence, The Adams and Lodge families came together to form an alliance with the Rockefeller consortium (a consortium, not a family) and succeeded in bringing J.F. Kennedy to the White House in return for a large order from the Pentagon, which eventually caused strong displeasure from the Morgan consortium. And after the assassination of Kennedy, the Boston consortium suffered a big blow and its status continued to decline.

The well-known Beale Gate had assets of more than 100 billion yuan in its heyday, which is basically the limit of personal assets, and if compared, it is equivalent to the annual income of the largest private company in the United States (90 billion US dollars from Koch Industries), and you can get the right to speak in one or several consortiums - usually the controlling stake of the consortium is difficult to confirm, because a consortium is often composed of several groups, such as the California consortium where Huang Xuan is currently located in California, including Bank of America, Security Pacific, Lockheed Aircraft, Litton Industries, and many other financial and industrial companies, but usually, such a consortium is always controlled by one or a few families.

The richest person in human history was Rockefeller, who independently controlled the world's largest trust and the world's oil, accounting for 1/65 of the GDP at that time, with a GDP of $305.3 billion.

It also makes sense for individuals to have more than $300 billion in assets, which is enough to control the financial order in a region if not in association with others, but not Wall Street and London. It is only at this time that it is possible for individuals to confront the consortium.

So in terms of market capitalization, theoretically, $330 billion can buy General Electric, but if you compare assets, if you want to have more assets than any company in the world, you need $3.3 trillion.

The people of China work for a year, and the GDP created is 2.8 trillion (06 years). The normal annual military expenditure of the United States is 400 billion - so theoretically, it would take at least $400 billion a year to maintain an army that can defeat the United States at any time, but in practice, this does not calculate the value of the existing equipment.

The total value of global wealth is 97.9 trillion, almost 100 trillion, in other words, if anyone claims that their money can buy 100 Morgan consortiums, they are basically lying, because mankind has not accumulated so much wealth so far.

So back to the question of $2 billion, for Ellison, he can definitely afford to pay the money, but except for Huang Xuan, no one present thinks that a database software is worth so much money.

If Huang Xuan hadn't applied for a patent, it would not have been worth so much money. However, if you think about Oracle's annual R&D investment of more than 2 billion US dollars, and the profit of more than 100 billion yuan in the next few or even ten years, 2 billion US dollars is just a small number.

But Ellison wasn't sure that Huang Xuan's software would really be better than the company's 10G, so he just smiled politely and said, "Mr. Huang, can you let us try your software?" ”

"No problem." Huang Xuan's answer surprised everyone again, and handed over the software to Oracle, which was not dismantled to bones.

Yu Liye was a little worried about whether the Oracle employee just now had recorded a copy, and thinking of the $2 billion, he couldn't help but "plug in" and said, "Mr. Ellison, maybe you can send someone to our company to watch this software." ”

Among the people here, Yu Liye is the most familiar with Huang Xuan, looking at Huang Xuan's appearance, he also believes that he has a purpose, so he also became serious.

The translator said it truthfully, but Ellison didn't answer, but smiled and talked to the others.

Yu Liye's face turned red, Huang Xuan patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then said, "Mr. Ellison, I have two proposals that you can consider when you inspect this software." ”

"Oh?"

"The first is that I sell the software to Oracle and license Oracle to use the patents until they expire for $2 billion. The second is for Oracle and I to fund the creation of an independent subsidiary to sell the software. Third," he looked at Yu Liye and said, "I can put this software under the name of Xinye Company, and if Oracle wants it, we will discuss the merger and acquisition plan." ”

Hearing that Huang Xuan was so thoughtful, Ellison couldn't help but be silent, but soon, he smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, please allow me to submit it to the board of directors for consideration." As he spoke, he handed Nussbaum the disk symbolizing "sex", and noticed that Huang Xuan did not react in any way, and his heart became uneasy.

How did he know that the algorithm known as Code Three could last for 3 million years with the current method of brute force decryption, and if it was not decrypted by brute force - if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance that a genius would appear in Oracle, Lorraine would also guarantee his defeat.

It was completely impossible for Ellison to find what Huang Xuan didn't want him to see from this disk.

Speaking of which, this will also be a waste of energy, but compared to the income of 2 billion US dollars, Huang Xuan also thinks it is cost-effective.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but Ellison shook hands with Huang Xuan with a smile and said goodbye, "Mr. Huang, I heard that you also like horse racing?" Five days later, there's a small race at Carlton Racecourse in Florida, but both Dali Racecourse and Coolmore Racecourse will be racing, so I wonder if you're interested? ”

"I thought it was just Mr. Rubin interested in it." Huang Xuan put the coffee in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Mr. Ellison also raised a racehorse?" ”

"The son who 'slipped away', I named it 'Green Light', and it only takes 10 seconds to run 1 furlong." Ellison was smug about this.

Although it has been impacted by the four major ball games such as basketball and football, horse racing is still the mainstream sport in the United States: many horse races are held in the United States every year, with 80 million spectators and ticket revenue of about $12 billion. The Queen of England visited the United States for the first time in 16 years, but before meeting with Bush, the Queen's first stop was Kentucky, the Kentucky Derby, the most important race in the United States, and some media joked that the Queen seemed to think that watching the horse race was more important than seeing Bush.

Huang Xuan, a pseudo-horse "fan", asked Lorraine in a suppressed voice: "What is 1 Fulong?" ”

"220 yards, 22 yards per second, much faster than a human run."

"Nonsense." Huang Xuan raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "OK, I also brought two horses, if you have a chance, you must try it with Mr. Ellison." ”

When it came to horse racing, Mark suddenly came to his senses, and he said in a supportive tone: "The total prize money of his career is $9.6 million, and he has three eclipse awards, but Mr. Ellison's 'Green Light' career is only $10,000." Less than my 'cat rider'. ”

If Mark doesn't say it, Huang Xuan will almost forget that the marketing director earns more than $20 million a year and is also a multimillionaire.

Once it came to horse racing, Mr. Mark almost forgot where he was, and Nussbaum slipped away quietly, while Mr. Marketing Director was still singing a one-man show, and asked Wong, "Who are the descendants of your horses?" Speaking of which, there are a lot of horse races in Hong Kong. ”

Huang Xuan smiled and said, "You'll see it later, I think, you'll be surprised." ”

Mark became even more curious, and Ellison soon rejoined, completely forgetting about his speech, and a negotiation quickly turned into a question of thoroughbreds' pedigree and racing results.

Yu Liye listened to it on the side, and admired it very much, he was originally worried that Huang Xuan would negotiate with Ellison about the specific content and time of the negotiation, which would not only make his own side show weakness, but also make the future negotiations have little room for turnaround. Now it is completely different, as the supreme decision-maker, Huang Xuan and Ellison have reached an intention to negotiate, no matter what the negotiations are in the future, the two sides can still maintain contact, and will never completely lose the opportunity because of the collapse of high-level talks, which is also the most beneficial choice for them.

However, Yu Liye completely forgot that Huang Xuan was even using Xinye Company as a bargaining chip just now, maybe he didn't have the idea of thinking of himself as the chairman in the first place.
