giants of the era

Chapter 150 Larry Ellison was scared to pee!

In the sunny days of April, it is such a pleasant thing to go to the beach to sketch.

Li Zetian doesn't know how to draw, but Yu Jingqiu has been drawing since elementary school.

Sitting in Li Zetian's silver Rolls-Royce Adventure 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, take a leisurely bike ride along the shoreline, enjoy the ocean breeze blowing in your face, or spend a lazy day in the warm California sun. sunbathing.There are row upon row of restaurants, cinemas and resort hotels along the coast, and there is an emotional pedestrian street not far from the beach——Third Street Pedestrian Street. cafeteria.

The two came to the balcony of a hotel, Yu Jingqiu concentrated on drawing a sketch, Li Zetian leaned on the railing and looked at the sea view, walking back and forth occasionally.In order not to interfere with Yu Jingqiu's painting, he kept silent all the time.After a while, Li Zetian turned to Jingqiu and said, "How is the painting going? I'm waiting to see an outstanding work of art."

"Oh, wait a little longer, I haven't finished the drawing yet!" Yu Jingqiu hurriedly blocked it with her arms, for fear that Li Zetian would see her unfinished draft.

"Hehe, come on, let me take a look..." Li Zetian turned to Yu Jingqiu's other side.At the beginning, Yu Jingqiu insisted that he was not 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 watch.

"Come on, let me see how the music students of Harvard University paint. Uh, I thought you were painting landscapes! I didn't expect..."

Li Zetian was a little unexpected. It turned out that Yu Jingqiu painted his portrait. "I'm afraid it was intentional to make me so ugly!" Li Zetian said in a serious tone while pointing to the crooked nose and mouth.

Yu Jingqiu let out a "puchi", and said with a smile: "Who told you to walk around and prevent me from painting well, it's all your fault!"

"You can't draw well, blame me..."

"It was!"

"Okay, okay, blame me, my wife is a very good painter..." Li Zetian put his arms around Yu Jingqiu's body, and kissed her on the cheek.

The two talked and laughed, 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 now moved to Los Angeles from New York, and often stays at the Panda Fast Food restaurant here.Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu also have 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, "What's the matter, Dad?"

"It's nothing. Our Panda Fast Food Restaurant is the first restaurant chain group to use computer software for management, so there is a person who always calls me to promote Oracle database software, saying that it can help me manage Panda Fast Food more efficiently. However, I think the software you wrote Zetian is already very good, there is no need to spend money on that database software.”

Li Zetian's heart moved, Oracle database, could it be Oracle? !
Li Zetian hurriedly asked, "What's that man's name?"

"Looks like Larry Ellison..."

Yes, that's him - the boss of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, whose wealth ranking is second only to Bill Gates and Buffett! ! !

"Dad, please help me make an appointment with him, I am very interested in his software and company!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

"Well, okay, I'll give him a call back now."

Yu Jingshan picked up the phone and started dialing. Although he didn't think the Oracle database software was good, since his son-in-law valued it so much, it showed that this software had merits.Perhaps it is because I am not an IT professional, so it is difficult to discover the value of Oracle database software.

At this time, the phone was connected.

"Mr. Yu, hello, have you decided to use Oracle's products?" Larry Ellison said a little excitedly. Not long after the call was disconnected, the conversation actually returned a call. This is most likely because the other party agreed. Use your own company's database products.

"Mr. Larry Ellison, hello, let's not talk about this, can you come to the Los Angeles Panda Fast Food Headquarters right away?"

"Okay, no problem, I'll drive over right away!" Larry Ellison said excitedly.

After finishing the call, Larry Ellison shouted to the three people in the company: "Hey, guys, we have a new client soon!"

There are only 4 people in the company, Larry Ellison holds 60% of the shares, and the venture capital is 2000 US dollars.

"Which company is it?" The other three were shocked and asked quickly.

"It's the Panda Express chain company!!!" Larry Ellison said as he walked outside, "The founder of Panda Express just called and asked me to go to the Los Angeles headquarters of Panda Express. In the past, everyone just wait for my good news!"

In a blink of an eye, Larry Ellison was out of the garage.

The other three have not recovered yet.

"Will the Panda Fast Food chain use our company's Oracle database software? This is a chain company with more than 50 branches, and the company's scale is expanding rapidly."

"If this order can be signed, Oracle can earn at least one hundred thousand dollars!"

"..."

Two hours later, Larry Ellison rushed to the Panda Express Restaurant.

He introduced himself to the store manager, and then said, "Mr. Yu called me over..."

"I know, please come with me."

The store manager took him up to the second floor.

When he came to the second floor, Larry Ellison was stunned for a moment. The people in front of him made him feel that he had come to the wrong place. He saw the billionaire Chronos Li sitting on a couch smiling and nodding to himself. Sitting next to him was a beautiful and noble Chinese woman, presumably his wife.Yu Jingshan drank tea slowly with a teacup in his hand.

"Mr. Larry Ellison, please come and sit down." Li Zetian waved and said.

Larry Ellison, trying to keep his composure, walked up to say hello to everyone before sitting in a chair across from the coffee table.

Li Zetian asked with a faint smile: "Mr. Larry Ellison, I heard that you are promoting a software called Oracle database?"

"Yes!"

Li Zetian smiled, and said to himself: "In 1976, IBM researcher Ted Codd published a milestone paper "R System: Database Relational Theory", which introduced relational database theory and query language SQL, and the article described in detail his 10 years of research results and how to implement them! Presumably, your company should have developed a commercial software system Oracle based on this research.”

"Hmm..." Larry Ellison nodded in response, startled. The other party obviously knew a lot about databases.More importantly, it seems that he also attaches great importance to databases. Microsoft under the name of Chronos Li is a software giant. If Microsoft wants to develop similar database software, Oracle has no competitiveness.

Larry Ellison was very disturbed in his heart. If he was the boss of Microsoft, he would definitely develop database software by himself instead of buying it from other companies.

At this moment, Li Zetian went on to say: "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 handle large-scale data or a large number of users to access data. However, I think these people are It's an out-and-out fool!
In 1965, Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel Corporation, once put forward a theory called Moore's Law. It will double in 18 months, and performance will double.In other words, the computer performance that each dollar can buy will more than double every 24-18 months.This law reveals the speed at which information technology advances.

Moore's Law, though speculative, has been going on for more than a decade and will continue.Therefore, according to Moore's Law, within a few years, relational databases can naturally handle large-scale data or a large number of users access data, and have huge and incomparable 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 I would sign a big contract 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 didn't IBM develop this plan? The main reason is because IBM now has a IMS, a hierarchical database product that sells well, launching a competitive product will affect the sales and personnel work of IMS. Undoubtedly, this will give other companies a huge opportunity! Whoever can seize this opportunity will 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.”

"Hmm..." Larry Ellison replied blankly, stretched out his right hand to hold the cup, but his hand trembled involuntarily...

Uh, pretending to be cool won't scare him!
Li Zetian couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
