When Larry Ellison and Paul Allen competed for the size of the yacht, Yang Jing was still in junior high school. He only heard about the competition that made the world laugh when he was older, but he didn't know the specific situation.

"Linzi, Larry Ellison's Oracle company can be regarded as a bay area city. Don't you know that?" Yang Jing asked curiously when he saw that lindane hadn't spoken.

"Elder brother, how could I not know that? When I was young, I lived in mahogany City, where my grandmother lived, and Oracle's residence was in mahogany city." Lin Dan was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Jing's query.

"There is a famous yacht construction company in Germany, named lulsen shipyard, which is famous for producing super luxury yachts. Brother Yang, do you know this famous shipyard?"

Yang Jing shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "I've never played with luxury yachts before, so I don't know much about the place where such luxury toys are made. Sorry, I really didn't know this shipyard before."

"I don't know. It doesn't matter. You just need to know that at that time, hundreds of billionaires around the world were customers of this shipyard, including Paul Allen and Larry Ellison. Mike Brightman, the then sales director of this shipyard, was very interesting. He printed the sentence 'size determines everything' on his T-shirt, even if he was doing it He also wore this T-shirt when he sold it. Mike Brightman's move won the favor of many billionaires, which brought many billionaires to the shipyard. "

"In 2004, Ellison customized the rising sun at the lulson shipyard, but the planned length of the yacht was 393 feet, which was the largest yacht in the world at that time. As a result, Paul Allen also placed an order at the shipyard. The length of the octopus customized by Paul Allen reached 413 feet. Larry Ellison got the news, which was not good "You Microsoft usually press me, and I already feel dissatisfied. Now you, a guy who retired from Microsoft, dare to press me again on the length of the yacht. My aunt can bear it, but my uncle can't!"

"Ellison knew very well that if he really completed his yacht according to the original plan, the octopus would become the world." at that time, Larry Ellison was very proud to say to the world - men, still talk in size! Microsoft, although I don't have your money, I'm older than you! "

"Ha ha..." Yang Jing laughed uncontrollably. "Shit, Ellison is such a man? Dare to say such words to the world?"

Lin Dan also laughed, "yes, that's what Ellison said. Although Ellison is very arrogant, this sentence has attracted a lot of fans for him. Brother Yang, your adjective is good, man. Ellison is really a man in this matter, and many people in our Bay area are beginning to like this guy."

Yang Jing nodded and seemed to agree with Lin Dan, "Yes, I was not very interested in Larry Ellison in the past, mainly because it was said that this guy talked dirty and didn't avoid anything. He always said what he said, so he seemed extremely arrogant. But after listening to this little story today, I think Ellison has arrogant capital even if he is really arrogant. If we remember wrong, last year's FUBU Ellison seems to be seventh on the rich list of Sri Lanka? "

Lindane nodded. "Yes, in fact, Ellison has been in the top ten of the Forbes rich list for many years since 2010."

Yang Jing sighed: "Yes, how can a rich man who can enter the Forbes rich list for many years without his own temper? Arrogance? Hehe, if those who laugh at Ellison can also enter the top 10 of the Forbes rich list, let alone arrogance, what if they want to fight against the air? This is the privilege of the rich, or why these rich can become the top The rich have a direct relationship with their own character. If Ellison wasn't so arrogant, I'm afraid he couldn't do it now. "

It seems to be responding to Yang Jing's words, or protesting Yang Jing's words. The rising sun, which had just drilled through the underground of the Golden Gate Bridge, suddenly sounded its whistle

"Brother, after you dispose of the gold and diamonds, will you build such a yacht?" Lindane is obviously interested in this kind of luxury yacht. Even if the luxury yacht has been built for 14 years, even if the yacht has slipped from the first in the world to the 14th in the world, it is undeniable that the super luxury yacht built 14 years ago is still a super luxury toy with a return rate of more than 100% A big guy who can impress anyone.

Yang Jing said it was a lie to be unmoved. As long as a normal man sees such a big guy with a length of nearly 140 meters, he is estimated to have a strong desire for possession.

"How much is such a big yacht?" looking at the faint black smoke from the chimney of the rising sun, Yang Jing turned to ask Lin Dan.

"Er..." Lin Dan scratched his scalp. "I don't know, but I know the price of the rising sun. When Ellison built the super yacht, he spent a full $250 million. The annual maintenance cost of the yacht was as high as $13 million."

The price made Yang Jing shake her head secretly.

For the top rich with tens of billions of dollars, raising such a super yacht is not a problem, but they can't afford such a yacht now. Of course, if you take over the Dragon Fund in the future, yachts such as the rising sun will not be qualified.

Well, it's like the $1.5 billion eclipse of the Russian tycoon Abu

Shook his head, shook away some unreliable ideas for the time being, waved to Lin Dan, and the two continued to walk along the footpath on the east side of the bridge.

At this time, there are more people on the bridge, some tourists watching the sunrise, and some locals exercising.

The Golden Gate Bridge charges, but there is a toll station in the north of the bridge. For vehicles entering the urban area from the north of the Strait to the south, a six dollar bridge crossing fee is charged for each vehicle.

This price would not be low in China, and the cost of the bridge has been charged for 81 years, and the construction cost would have been recovered long ago.

From this point of view, the bridge crossing fee in the United States is much worse than that in China

After walking for some distance, the sun gradually rose, the temperature began to rise, some mist on the distant sea gradually dispersed, and the two large and one small islands on the sea surface of the bay area gradually revealed their shapes.

Yang Jing pointed to the smallest island and asked, "is that devil's Island? Didn't the film brave into the deadly Island starring Nicholas Cage more than 20 years ago take this island as the prototype?"

Lindane nodded and said, "yes, that island is Devil Island. But in the past, this island was not Devil Island, and Pelican island was its original name. But then Philip grosser was convicted for refusing military service in World War I. He sorted out his iron window experience and named it Uncle Sam's Devil Island." , it exposed to the public the horror and darkness of the prison at that time, and made this Pelican island known as "Devil Island."

After a pause, lindane pointed to the other two larger islands and said: "The island in the north is Angel Island, and now it has become a state park. The island in the south is treasure island, but it is an artificial island. Next to it is the real island yerbabuena, which is a natural island. However, compared with the name of treasure island, yerbabuena is much less famous."

Seeing that Yang Jing seemed very interested in these islands, Lin Dan continued: "actually speaking of islands, the Ellison we talked about just now also has the most expensive island in the world."

"You mean the Lanai Island in Hawaii? I've heard of it. It seems that Ellison spent 600 million dollars to buy the island at that time?"

"Not 600 million, but 610 million, and he did not buy all the ownership of Lanai Island. He only bought 98% of the ownership. Moreover, after buying Lanai Island, Ellison successively invested more than 500 million US dollars to build the island."

Yang Jing shook her head again and said, "compared with yachts, this kind of private island is a more expensive big toy."

Lin Dan obviously doesn't agree with Yang Jing, "Brother Yang, you are wrong if you think so. Although it costs a lot to buy a private island, once you really buy an island, you will be the king of the island. Moreover, at present, there are only two private islands in the world that can exceed 300 million US dollars. The price of most private islands is about 100 million US dollars. Brother, I suggest you buy an island, Coupled with a super yacht, tut Tut, that kind of small day is absolutely very comfortable... "

Yang Jing said, "Lin Zi, why don't you lend me some money first? Don't borrow more. First borrow one billion and eight hundred million. I promise to buy a super yacht after buying a private island."

Lin Dan's originally sunny face suddenly darkened

It is estimated that he is tucking up in his mind at this time -- do you make complaints about a lotus? One billion and eight hundred million of the Zimbabwe coin?
