How pleasant it is to go to the beach to sketch on these sunny days in April. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Small ↓ Said △ Net]
Li Zetian can't draw, but Yu Jingqiu has been drawing since elementary school.
Sitting in Li Zetian's silver Rolls-Royce dangerous road convertible, the two came to the most famous Santa Monica beach in Los Angeles. Santa Monica Beach's 2-mile stretch of coastline is where people play beach volleyball, cycle leisurely along the coastline, enjoy the ocean breeze blowing in your face, or enjoy a lazy day in the warm California sun sunbathing. Restaurants, movie theaters and resort hotels are lined up along the coast. Not far from the beach, there is an atmospheric pedestrian street, the Third Street Pedestrian Street. There are many shops selling a variety of specialty goods, as well as many fashion boutiques, as well as restaurants offering a variety of delicacies. Dining room.
The two came to the balcony of a hotel, where Yu Jingqiu concentrated on sketching, while Li Zetian leaned on the railing and looked out at the sea, walking back and forth occasionally. In order not to interfere with Yu Jingqiu's painting, he kept silent. After a while, Li Zetian turned to Jing Qiu and said, "How is the painting? I'm waiting to see an outstanding artwork."
"Oh, wait a little longer, I haven't finished the drawing yet!" Yu Jingqiu hurriedly blocked her arm, for fear that Li Zetian would see her finished draft.
"Hehe, don't do this, let me take a look first..." Li Zetian turned to the other side of Yu Jingqiu. At the beginning, Yu Jingqiu insisted that he would not be allowed to see the painting until it was finished. But in the end, he couldn't resist his stubbornness, so he had to let him see it.
"Come on, let's see how the music students at Harvard University paint. Well, I thought you were painting landscapes! Didn't expect..."
Li Zetian was a little unexpected, it turned out that Yu Jingqiu painted his portrait. "I'm afraid it's intentional to paint me so ugly!" Li Zetian said in a serious tone, pointing at his crooked nose and mouth.
Yu Jingqiu said with a "puchi" and laughed: "Who told you to walk around and not let me paint well, it's all your fault!"
"You're not good at drawing, blame me..."
"It was!"
"Okay okay, blame me, my wife is a very good painter..." Li Zetian wrapped his arms around Yu Jingqiu's body and kissed her on the cheek.
The two were talking and laughing, very happy.
After playing at the beach in the morning, I came to a panda fast food restaurant in Los Angeles at noon.
Yu Jingshan has also moved here 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 after lunch with Yu Jingshan, a phone call came.
After Yu Jingshan answered the phone, he shook his head and smiled.
Li Zetian asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Our Panda fast food restaurant is a restaurant chain group that took the lead in using computer software for management, so there is a person who always calls me to promote some Oracle database software, saying that it can help me manage Panda fast food more efficiently. However, I think the software written by Zetian is already very good, and there is no need to spend money on that kind of database software.”
Li Zetian's heart moved, Oracle database, could it be Oracle Corporation? !
Li Zetian hurriedly asked, "What's that person's name?"
"It seems to be Larry Ellison..."
Yes, it is him - the boss of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, whose wealth is second only to Bill Gates and Buffett! ! !
"Dad, please help me meet him, I am 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 started dialing. Although he didn't think the Oracle database software was any good, since he was so valued by his son-in-law, it showed that this software had merit. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Small ↓ Said △ Net] Maybe because I am not an IT person, it is difficult to find the value of Oracle database software.
At this time, the phone went through.
"Hello, Mr. Yu, have you decided to use our product?" Larry Ellison said excitedly. Not long after the call ended, the conversation actually called back again. This is most likely because the other party agreed to use it. own company's database products.
"Mr. Larry Ellison, hello, let's not talk about that, can you come to Los Angeles Panda Express Headquarters right away?"
"Okay, no problem, I'll drive over right away!" Larry Ellison said excitedly.
After the call, Larry Ellison exclaimed to the three at the company: "Hey guys, we're going to have a new client soon!"
There are only 4 people in the company in total, Larry Ellison holds 60% of the shares, and the venture capital is $2,000.
"Which company is it?" The other three were shocked and asked quickly.
"It's the Panda Fast Food Chain Company!!!" Larry Ellison said as he walked outside, "The founder of Panda Fast Food just called and asked me to go to the headquarters of Panda Fast Food in Los Angeles, and I have to rush it now. In the past, everyone will wait for my good news!"
In the blink of an eye, Larry Ellison was out of the garage.
The other three have not recovered yet.
"Panda fast food chain will use our company's Oracle database software? This is a chain with more than 50 branches, and the company is rapidly expanding."
"If this order can be signed, Oracle can make at least $100,000!"
"… "
Two hours later, Larry Ellison rushed to the Panda fast food restaurant.
He introduced himself to the store manager, and then said, "Mr. Yu called me here..."
"I know, please come with me."
The manager took him up to the second floor.
When he came to the second floor, Larry Ellison was stunned for a moment. The characters that appeared at the moment made him feel that he had come to the wrong place. He saw billionaire Chronos Li sitting on a couch smiling and nodding at himself. Sitting next to her was a beautiful and noble Chinese woman, who was supposed to be his wife. Yu Jingshan drank tea slowly with a teacup.
"Mr. Larry Ellison, please come and sit down." Li Zetian beckoned and said.
Larry Ellison tried to keep his composure, then stepped forward to say hello to everyone before taking a seat 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 relational database theory and query language SQL, and the article described him in detail. 10 years of research results and how to achieve it! Come to think of it, your company should be able to develop a commercial software system Oracle based on this research.”
"Well..." Larry Ellison nodded in response, shocked, the other party obviously knew a lot about the database. More importantly, it seems that he also attaches great importance to databases. The Microsoft company under Chronos Li's name is a software giant. If Microsoft also develops similar database software, Oracle has no competitiveness.
Larry Ellison was very uneasy in his heart, and he compared his heart to heart. If he was the owner of Microsoft, he would definitely develop database software himself, rather than buy it from other companies.
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, and it is impossible to process large-scale data or access data for a large number of users. However, I think these people are all A total idiot!
In 1965, Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel Corporation, once put forward a theory, which is called Moore's Law. In 24 months it will double and performance will double. In other words, the amount of computer performance every dollar can buy will more than double every 18-24 months. This law reveals the speed at which information technology advances.
Moore's Law, although speculative, has been a trend for over a decade and will continue to do so. Therefore, it is inferred from Moore's Law that within a few years, relational databases can naturally process large-scale data or a large number of users access data, and have enormous commercial value. "
Larry Ellison broke out in a cold sweat at this time. Chronos Li has already seen the value of relational databases, and there is no room for Oracle! I thought that I would sign a big order when I came here, but I didn't expect it to be like this...
despair!
Despair!
Li Zetian didn't care how ugly Larry Ellison's expression was, but continued: "The relational database theory was proposed by IBM, but why did IBM not develop this plan? The main reason is because IBM now has a For IMS, a well-sold hierarchical database product, the launch of a competitive product will affect the sales and staff work of IMS. Undoubtedly, this will give other companies a huge opportunity! Whoever seizes this opportunity can become a billionaire Millionaire! Mr. Larry Ellison, drink tea, this is the most authentic West Lake Longjing tea in China, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"Um..." Larry Ellison replied indifferently, reaching out his right hand to hold the cup, but his hand trembled uncontrollably...
Uh, pretending not to scare him!
Li Zetian was stunned for a moment.
