Chapter 486 Ellison

There are still about two weeks until the due date, and a panda cub was harvested ahead of schedule.

Although Suri couldn't help, she decided to call the reality show's camera crew and go to a zoo in Mexico.

After hearing the conversation between him and Jiang Jiaya.

Larry Ellison, the host of tonight’s private party, held a whiskey glass in one hand and said in an envious tone:

"I have raised famous horses and fighter jets, but raising giant pandas as pets... I have never even thought about it. It is so cool. If other cubs are bred, how about selling one to me?"

Su Rui had a quick mind and immediately found a reason, then declined with a smile:

"Sorry, I signed an agreement with the organization that helped with the breeding. Even if there are offspring, they will be owned by the Panda Conservation Base. This is not a decision I can make."

After all, it is a giant panda. Larry Ellison did not force anything after hearing this, and continued:

"They are really strange animals. They are obviously bears, but they like to eat bamboo. If you take them out for a walk every day, no woman on the road can resist the charm of giant pandas. They are more suitable than jewelry, kittens, and puppies. Give it to your girlfriend as a gift.”

Next to him, an NVIDIA executive added: "That requires their family to own a small manor. I think cloning technology should be used to replicate giant pandas."

Hearing these words, Su Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Oracle founder Larry Ellison's character is so unconventional, a bit similar to his own. Whether it is his private life or hobbies, he is very rich and lives a very carefree life.

Before the age of thirty, Larry Ellison accomplished almost nothing. It was only after he was thirty that he started to found Oracle. Now he is worth more than Suri. He is one of the richest people in the world. He not only likes to spend time and wine, He also often drives real fighter jets to and from get off work, which is completely different from tech nerds like Mark Zuckerberg.

Tonight, Suri was invited mainly because Larry Ellison also wanted to invest in Caishen Capital's private equity fund and was also very interested in S Electric Vehicle Company.

In addition, Netflix Entertainment is also one of Oracle's major customers and has successively purchased servers worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the past two years. Naturally, it has integrated into the small circle tonight, and everyone is particularly polite to Suri.

Even in the eyes of Larry Ellison, Suri cannot be underestimated and belongs to the same class of Silicon Valley upstarts.

At their level, the difference between more money and less money is less obvious. Instead, some soft power, such as public influence and interpersonal relationships, are more important.

From a certain perspective, Suri, who is sought after by countless fans around the world and favored by Wall Street capital, has surpassed Larry Ellison in soft power.

After all, Oracle is already considered an "established company" with limited room for growth and cannot bring investors considerable returns.

Suri is different. In the past two years, he has been too dazzling and has several big and enviable projects in his hands.

In Silicon Valley, whoever can help capital make money is more popular. Facing the 24-year-old Suri, Larry Ellison had to accept his old age and felt like he was about to be photographed on the beach.

Two glasses of wine down.

Larry Ellison pointed to Nvidia executives and asked Suri:

"One thing has always concerned me. Why did your Caishen Capital invest in NVIDIA and my friend Steve Jobs' Apple, but not my Oracle? When I saw the list in the news, I was looking for a secretary. Asked about this, do you think Oracle's business model is no longer viable?"

Americans are not polite when speaking and like to be direct. People like Ellison, who have few friends in Silicon Valley, are arrogant and domineering, act in a high-profile manner, and don’t even know what social etiquette is.

Seeing him asking such an embarrassing question so bluntly, Su Rui's head suddenly became as big as a bucket. He pretended to be confused and answered with a surprised expression:

"With Oracle's size, does it still lack my money? In fact, Oracle's name will be included in the public fund products that will be launched soon. We have just entered the era of mobile smart terminals. I think the scale of the data management industry is huge. , and it can be many times bigger than it is now.”

After Suri finished speaking, Larry Ellison smiled and agreed: "Yes, no large Internet company can bypass my Oracle products. If you are not interested in Oracle, I will almost doubt it." Is your investment vision really that good?"

"..."

What can Suri say.

It's just a joke, just smile and nod.

Since he has no relationship with Larry Ellison and does not expect to make a fortune from him, Suri will certainly not tell him the suggestion of developing a "cloud server" in vain.

The size of the data services market will indeed increase significantly in the next few years, but many markets will be divided up by new players. Oracle's products are too expensive and cannot keep up with the development of the times. Their market share will inevitably decline, and they are only suitable for investment portfolios. Make up the numbers.

The Nvidia executive asked in an exaggerated tone:

"Have you seen Apple's fiscal year report just released today? Its sales revenue reached 680 billion U.S. dollars, a surge of 52%, and net profit increased by 70%, reaching 140 billion U.S. dollars. This profit scale is larger than before the release of Apple's iPhone , the total profits of the company’s nearly 40-year history are even greater, and the stock price has simply gone crazy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Rui.

Suri once publicly displayed screenshots of a heavy position in Apple shares, and subsequently added to his position many times, holding a large number of Apple shares.

Apple released its fiscal year report today, and the stock price is soaring like a rocket. He has obviously won his "gamble" again. When he first invested in Apple, the total market value was only tens of billions of dollars, and now the total market value has soared to 2700 billion US dollars.

Just looking at the past three months, Suri's total net worth has skyrocketed by about US$20 billion because of Apple.

It seems that it was not long ago that I became a member of the 10 billion dollar club. Thanks to the appreciation of many assets including Facebook, Netflix Entertainment, and Tweet, it is already approaching 20 billion US dollars.

Some people say that accumulating wealth is like a snowball. It is more difficult at the beginning. This is very realistic.

Seeing that everyone present was silent, Su Rui said calmly:

"Don't look at me. I didn't expect it to rise so much. It happened to be at a low point. You may not believe it, but my financial fortune has always been very good since I was a child."

Compared with the performance of Apple stocks in the past two years, Oracle seems mediocre. Larry Ellison envied:

"Jobs has turned around. I have a very good relationship with him. Why didn't I buy some Apple stocks a few years ago? I like to get along with lucky guys. Remember to drink with me more in the future to help balance my luck. In return, I can teach you how to fly a fighter jet.”

Suri likes to look for excitement, but that does not include flying a fighter jet, so he immediately declined:

"This is cool, but my body may not be able to bear it. Next time we have a chance, we can go to my Lanai for vacation..." (End of Chapter)
