Chapter 45 A Famous Horse Worth $95 (For Collection, For Further Reading)

Andy, the old cowboy, is not a rigid and boring person, although he is rigorous and serious in his work.

Standing on the deck of the expensive Lanai yacht, tasting the cocktail made by the waiter, facing the sea breeze and watching the Maui Island in front of him, his face is also wrinkled with a smile.

Enjoy something, who doesn't?
Not to mention that there is no need to pay for it, and the taste is even better.

At this moment, Su Rui mentioned that the cargo to be picked up later is an Arabian horse.

Others don't know the goods.

Old Andy was a little surprised, and asked:
"Is it that kind of particularly expensive Arabian purebred horse? There was an oil tycoon in the past who used to foster three Arabian horses on the ranch where I worked before. It is said that the total value exceeds one million dollars. This thing is similar to Australian Wagyu. , the purer the bloodline, the more expensive it is."

Suri was also drinking, a glass of Long Island iced tea in her hand.

This cocktail is made with vodka, gin, etc., and a lot of fat house happy water. Although it tastes sweet, it actually has a lot of stamina.

He didn't hide it, shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "It's my partner, Mark Zuckerberg gave me a housewarming gift. Since I called me personally, the price should not be cheap. I have to ask how much it is. I don't know for now."

"What a familiar name... Ah yes! That Harvard guy who founded Facebook and became a rich man?!"

It was Little Rock who spoke, with a startled expression on his face.

There was also a freckled lad named Bennett whose sister ran a café in town.

At this moment, his eyes are bright, and he worships:
"The boss is really amazing. He can actually let such a rich man in Silicon Valley give you a gift. Maybe it's because you are too young, and occasionally you forget that you are also a super rich man in Silicon Valley."

Su Rui didn't have much airs, so he joked:
"What do you think the super rich are like? Don't they always have to spend money while walking? This is similar to Little Rock moving. You give him a bottle of wine. It's just to maintain the relationship with each other. The other major shareholders always like to follow Zuckerberg is against each other, only I have no conflict with him, and I have provided some help, so the relationship is relatively good."

Regardless of Rock Jr. or Bennett.

At this time, there is a feeling of opening the door to a new world and reaching a new level.

Little Rock, nicknamed "French Peter Pan", the only thing in his life that got the limelight was winning a few gold medals in high school running. Now he can't wait to ask:
"Talk about Silicon Valley again, that place is too mysterious, especially for us Hawaiians, it's like another new world, the kind of dollars everywhere, I only know that many people get rich in Silicon Valley, La Lee Ellison, Steve Jobs, and the Amazon guy, too many ... including you, the boss, of course."

Su Rui smiled, shook his head and said:
"It's just a special place, not as interesting as Los Angeles. There will always be a chance in the future, and I can take you there..."

After speaking, he began to wander.

The main reason is that I had planned to invest in an online shopping company in Hawaii before.

Considering that the local population is only over 100 million and the distance between the islands is not too far, it is definitely not difficult to run a relatively mature online shopping company, but limited by the size of the market, don’t expect to make too much money.

It is more suitable for incubating a project. After winning the market, sell it to mature companies such as Amazon and eBay, and earn some money to subsidize the expenses of Lanai Island.

At that time, there may be an income of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, which is worth paying a little attention to.

In just a moment, Su Rui even thought about the manpower in charge of the project.

It just so happens that my own father is still idle and has nothing to do, and he has been playing investment since the 80s, getting in touch with the Internet industry, so this project is suitable for killing time.

Su Rui's own worth is the result of his earning the first pot of gold from singing, and then investing successively in just a few years.

In fact, his parents still kept a low-key holding of nearly [-] million US dollars in stocks.

In the 80s, they invested in Microsoft, Intel, and Oracle. In the 90s, they invested in companies such as Netscape and Yahoo. After entering the 21st century, they also held stocks in companies such as Amazon and Apple.

I have been speculating in stocks, smashing the Internet sector.

The principal of US$80 million at the end of the 30s has now doubled by a thousand times. Judging from this terrifying rate of return alone, the old stock god is weak compared to Su Rui's father.

It's a pity that Su Rui's parents don't have much ambition.

After getting rich, he became more and more secure, and often took his proposals as deaf ears.

Otherwise, invest in some start-up companies like him earlier, and Su Rui's father will definitely have a place at the top of the Forbes list.

To miss is to miss.

Putting aside some vanity such as fame and social status, let's just talk about life itself. In fact, after wealth reaches a certain scale, there will be no qualitative leap again, and basically everything that should be there is available.

Go back and look again.

As contented as his parents are, they live a relaxed and comfortable life.

……

With little Rock and Bennett singing and flattering, the yacht slowly docked beside the pier.

Standing on the side of the street, I took a taxi and arrived at Kahului Airport soon.

The second largest airport in Hawaii has an annual passenger throughput of more than 500 million passengers, and many flights from Asia to the United States will transit here.

Sitting in a taxi and simply looking up the information of Kahului Airport, Su Rui felt that it seemed even more unnecessary to build a private airport on Lanai Island.

It only takes more than half an hour to come by boat from Lanai Island, and it takes a blink of an eye to take a helicopter.

In order to save such a little time, it is obviously too wasteful to spend tens of millions of dollars to build a private airport.

thought here.

Inexplicably, there is an illusion of earning tens of millions of dollars at once.

A group of people came to the airport happily and went to the cargo window to show the logistics information sent by Mark Zuckerberg. The mean middle-aged female teller insisted that they provide an official freight bill.

Su Rui didn't have that thing either, so it would be embarrassing to call Zuckerberg for help with such a trivial matter.

He put his arms on the counter, pointed to his face, and asked:

"I usually don't like to rely on my face to do things, but this time is a special case. Could it be that you don't know who I am? Open Google or Facebook, search for Suri, I think you will help me."

Little Rock couldn't wait to say: "That's right! He is the new owner of Lanai Island, the super rich Suri!"

The female teller was too lazy to search and didn't understand the world, so she pushed her glasses with her hand and just replied, "No, I don't know how to do it. If you don't have an air waybill, get out of the way. There are other people in line behind."

"..."

Su Rui looked back, there was no one else behind.

It didn't make sense to the teller, even though Little Rock broke his tongue, the other party was still unmoved.

Simply go directly to the airport manager and mention that you want to send your private jet here for daily maintenance, and rent a warehouse for parking the plane.

It's much easier to talk about things this time.

A cage covered with a black cloth was quickly loaded and transported to Su Rui. When the black cloth was lifted off, there was a silver-white half-sized pony inside.

A box was tied to the railing of the iron cage. After opening it, I found that documents such as blood certificates and purchase contracts were inside.

Simply browse through the contract.

Suri was surprised to find that this Egyptian purebred Arabian horse was worth 95 US dollars.

At this price, four Ferrari F430s can be bought in the United States. As far as a horse is concerned, it is indeed ridiculously expensive, and it seems to be a luxury...
