Chapter 150 Larry Ellison was so scared that he peed!

On this sunny day in April, it is so pleasant to go to the beach to sketch.

Li Zetian can't draw, but Yu Jingqiu has been drawing since elementary school.

Sitting in Li Zetian's silver Rolls-Royce convertible, the two came to Santa Monica Beach, the most famous beach in Los Angeles. The stretch of coastline of Santa Monica Beach is 2 miles long. People play beach volleyball here, ride bicycles leisurely along the coastline, enjoy the sea breeze blowing on their faces, or just wander around and be lazy under the warm California sunshine. 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 products, as well as many fashion boutiques and a variety of food. cafeteria.

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

"Oh, be patient for a while, I haven't finished the drawing yet!" Yu Jingqiu hurriedly blocked it with her arms, fearing that Li Zetian would see her unfinished draft.

"Haha, don't be like this, let me take a look first..." Li Zetian turned to the other side of Yu Jingqiu. Yu Jingqiu insisted at first that she would not let him see it until she finished the painting. But in the end I couldn't resist his stubbornness and had to let him watch.

"Come on, let's see how well the music students at Harvard University are doing at painting. Well, I thought you were painting landscapes! I didn't expect..."

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

Yu Jingqiu made a "puff" sound and said with a smile: "Who made you walk around and didn't let me paint well? It's all your fault!"

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

"That's what it is!"

"Okay, okay, blame me, my wife is a very good painter..." Li Zetian put his hands 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, we went to a Panda Express restaurant in Los Angeles at noon.

Yu Jingshan has now moved from New York to Los Angeles, and often stays at the Panda Express restaurant here. Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu also had time to visit him frequently.

Just after having 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 wrong, Dad?"

"It's nothing. Our Panda Express is a restaurant chain that pioneered the use of 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 Express more efficiently. Store. However, I think the software you wrote Zetian is already very good, so there is no need to spend money on that kind of database software."

Li Zetian thought, Oracle database, could it be Oracle? !

Li Zetian quickly asked: "What's that person's name?"

"It seems to be called Larry Ellison..."

Yes, that's him - the boss of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, with wealth ranking 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 call him 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. Maybe it's because I'm not an IT professional, so it's difficult to discover the value of Oracle database software.

At this time, the phone call came through.

"Hello Mr. Yu, have you decided to use Oracle's products?" Larry Ellison said excitedly. Not long after the call was disconnected, another call came back. This was most likely the other party's consent. Use your own company's database products.

"Hello, Mr. Larry Ellison, let's not talk about this for now. Can you come to the Panda Express in Los Angeles right away?"

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

After ending the call, Larry Ellison shouted to the three people in the company: "Hey guys, we are about to have a new customer!"

There are only 4 people in the company. Larry Ellison holds 60% of the shares and has a start-up capital of US$2,000.

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

"It's the Panda Express chain!!!" 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. I have to rush right away. Go over and wait for my good news!"

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

The other three have not yet come to their senses.

"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 is expanding rapidly."

"If this deal can be signed, Oracle can earn at least 100,000 US dollars!"

"..."

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

He introduced himself to the store manager, and then said: "Mr. Yu asked me to come here..."

"I know, please come with me."

The store manager took him to the second floor.

Arriving on the second floor, Larry Ellison was stunned for a moment. The characters that appeared in front of him made him feel that he was in the wrong place. He saw billionaire Chronos Li sitting on a couch, smiling and nodding at him. Sitting next to him was a beautiful and noble Chinese woman, probably his wife. Yu Jingshan held the tea cup and drank tea slowly.

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

Larry Ellison tried to stay calm, then walked up and said 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 landmark paper "R System: Database Relational Theory", which introduced the relational database theory and query language SQL, and the article described him in detail 10 years of research results and how to implement it! I think your company should have developed the commercial software system Oracle based on this research."

"Well..." Larry Ellison nodded and responded, feeling shocked. The other party obviously knew a lot about databases. More importantly, it seems that he also attaches great importance to databases. Microsoft, owned by Chronos Li, is a software giant. If Microsoft wants to develop similar database software, Oracle will have no competitiveness.

Larry Ellison was very worried. If he were the boss of Microsoft, he would definitely develop the database software himself instead of buying 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 they are too slow and cannot handle large-scale data or a large number of users accessing data. However, I think these people He is an out-and-out idiot!

In 1965, Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel, proposed a theory called Moore's Law, which states: When the price remains unchanged, the number of components that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit increases approximately every 18- It will double in 24 months, and the performance will also double. In other words, the computer performance that each dollar can buy will more than double every 18-24 months. This law reveals the speed of information technology progress.

Although Moore's Law is only speculation, this trend has been going on for more than a decade and will continue. Therefore, according to Moore's Law, within a few years, relational databases will naturally be able to handle large-scale data or a large number of users accessing data, and will have huge commercial value. "

Larry Ellison was breaking out in a cold sweat at this time. Chronos Li had already seen the value of relational databases, so there was no room for Oracle to survive! I thought I would sign a big deal here, but I didn't expect it to be like this...

despair!

All hope is lost!

Li Zetian didn't care how ugly Larry Ellison's expression was, but continued: "The relational database theory was proposed by IBM, but why doesn't IBM have this plan to develop it? The main reason is because IBM now has a The hierarchical database product IMS is selling 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.”

"Well..." Larry Ellison responded numbly and stretched out his right hand to hold the cup, but his hand began to tremble uncontrollably...

Well, pretending to be cool won't scare him, right?

Li Zetian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
