Chapter 684： Men have to speak in size

The sun fell into the sea to the west. Ryan took Natalie onto the yacht'ts'. After the 396-foot yacht sounded its whistle, it slowly drove away from the marina in Santa Monica. As the speed accelerated, he rushed to the open sea.

The two entered the cabin and went directly to the top deck of the yacht, standing by the guardrail, facing the refreshing sea breeze, looking at the red sea ahead.

The sun that moved to the west completely disappeared, and the afterglow left behind, contrasted with the turquoise sea, forming a peculiar and beautiful sunset scene.

"Leaving Los Angeles." Natalie lowered her head slightly and let Ryan put the hood on her head. "Facing the empty sea, I finally felt no pressure."

"It turns out that my Nat also feels a lot of pressure." Ryan opened the cabinet on one side, took two bottles of energy drinks, handed them a bottle of Natalie, and said in a joking tone, "I thought Na was confident. I have always been fearless."

"Dear……"

Just as Natalie wanted to speak, a yacht in front of him, which was much longer than the'ts', appeared not particularly far away. The other party seemed to know Ryan’s yacht and suddenly sounded the siren, especially the two. When the first boat crossed over, the yacht was almost close to the nearest safe distance, and the long whistle was not interrupted.

It seems to be showing off, and it seems to be showing off.

Both Ryan and Natalie frowned. This is a very rude behavior for the other party, and the person who can buy such a huge yacht must be the famous super rich in the United States. This is nothing like the explosives in Russia. the difference.

"Who is this?" Natalie looked at the yacht slowly leaving in disgust, heading towards the port of Santa Monica, "Too annoying."

"Larry Ellison's Sunburst."

Although this is the first time I have seen it in this life, Ryan has seen pictures of this yacht on the Internet many times in his previous life, "This kind of impolite behavior, there are not many people except him."

"Why would he do this?" Natalie turned her head back.

"Show off, it shows that he overpowered me on the yacht." Ryan didn't care, he was not a kid, "Don't forget, this one always likes to fight for wealth with others. I used shoes in Southern California a few years ago. I lost him, and I am now far behind on the rich list. I guess it feels very shameless."

"You don't want to build a bigger yacht..." Natalie slapped the guardrail playfully. "Then compare him?"

"I'm not that boring."

Pulling Natalie for a while, the two sat on the white plastic chairs at the back, "It is estimated that Larry Ellison did not expect to meet us outside the port, otherwise there will be more exciting shows."

"Didn't the original things pass?"

Unscrew the bottle, Natalie took a sip first and then fed Ryan a sip, "I heard that Larry Ellison is not a narrow-minded person although he is acting arrogantly."

"The movie his son invested in is the David Ellison."

After seeing Natalie nodding, Ryan continued, “In Sony Columbia’s “Top Secret Flight” released this month, half of the investment came from David Ellison. "Kerk" conflict is regarded as the most direct competitor. "Hulk" has now won more than 110 million US dollars in the North American box office, and "Top Secret Flight" has not yet 20 million US dollars."

"I've heard of this too." Natalie also remembered, put the energy drink on the table, and said with a smile, "It is said that David Ellison saw airplanes and air battles appear in the film and immediately found them. Sony Columbia Pictures requires investment."

"Larry Ellison has quarreled with the media many times." Ryan leaned back in his chair. "The media will definitely not let go of the opportunity to laugh at them."

"So, he met you." Natalie automatically accepted Ryan's words, "Want to compare you in another way?"

With Larry Ellison's style, Ryan would not care. Think about the grievances between this Oracle lunatic and several Microsoft giants in the past two years. This is really nothing.

As early as 1994, in order to deal with Microsoft, Larry Ellison hired a Microsoft cleaning lady to help him engage in "infernal Affairs" activities, and finally found clues to deal with Microsoft from Microsoft’s trash can. Suddenly when he received an indictment from the US Department of Justice regarding one of its bundling sales, Microsoft executives including Bill Gates and Paul Allen were caught off guard for a while.

This is the sensational "garbage door" incident in the IT industry.

Ryan still remembers Bill Gates's reprimanding Larry Ellison ten years ago-look at those decent companies, they actually did such a despicable act against their competitors!

But the instigator was very proud. Larry Ellison not only quickly admitted that everything was his own work, but also proudly announced that I was very satisfied with what I did.

Since then, even if the Liangzi between Ellison and Microsoft is settled, the two top IT companies have no suspicion. No matter which side has something good, the other side will always make a cross, just can’t. Make the opponent feel better.

Two years ago, Microsoft Paul Allen’s "Octopus" yacht was about to be completed. Once launched, this 413-foot superyacht will surpass Ryan’s "ts" and the private yachts of several Middle Eastern oil tycoons. Become the longest private yacht in the world.

The news spread quickly. In order to beat the old friends Bill Gates and Paul Allen in his life, Larry Ellison decided to lengthen the yacht he was building, which is the "Sunrise" that just sailed away. .

The planned length of this yacht is 403 feet. It was originally built to surpass Ryan's ‘ts’. Later, Larry Ellison increased the length to 452 feet because he didn’t want the Rising Sun to be the second child at birth.

Nowadays, the ‘Rising Sun’ is truly the number one in the world, and the constant undercurrent of the yacht-size dispute has also been brought to the surface by the lunatics of Silicon Valley.

The super-rich seems to want to tell the world with a yacht-men, still have to speak in size!

Yachts can be said to be the most popular way for Western wealthy people to show off their wealth.

In fact, not only these wealthy people who are well-known in the United States, but also Hollywood celebrities, also have a soft spot for yachts.

Following the popular private jets after 911, yachts have also become a must-have luxury for many Hollywood giants. Let alone others, even the little fat girl Scarlett Johansson spent millions of dollars to buy a small one. Yachts, and Steven Spielberg, one of the Big Three in DreamWorks, spent nearly $200 million to order a 282-foot-long "Seven Seas" from a Dutch yacht manufacturer.

"Didn't you say that Scarlett and Alison also went to sea?"

The sky was getting darker, and Natalie's eyes turned to the distance with a flying seagull, "Where did they go?"

"Scarlett's boat can't go to the far sea." Ryan pointed to the north side of the yacht's stern, "They went to San Francisco, as if they were going to some activity."

"Activity?" Natalie frowned. Seeing Ryan didn't care at all, she swallowed again when she wanted to speak.

"It's dinner time." Ryan looked at her watch, Natalie didn't mean to leave, "I want to eat out."

"That's good." Ryan took the intercom on one side, "I'll send it up."

There are many types of dinners, but the amount is not big. Natalie herself has limited appetite, she just ate a bit of steak and put down the knife and fork.

Since the end of the promotion of "The Hunger Games", she has been busy in the post-production of "127" for more than a month. Naturally, the work pressure is a little bit heavy. Therefore, Ryan rarely talks about this aspect, but keeps talking about the circle. Gossip funny things to make her happy and let her relax completely.

"You know, Nat."

Soon, Ryan also put down his knife and fork, "The failure of "Top Secret Flight" did not hit David Ellison. I got news that he pulled $60 million in funds from Larry Ellison. I plan to invest in air combat movies again."

"Do you think he will fail?" Natalie asked, holding the coffee cup.

"Failure is inevitable." Ryan nodded his head. "This place of David Ellison has not yet figured out what Hollywood movies are all about. The money invested now is simply paying tuition. "

"anything else?"

Hearing Natalie’s questioning, Ryan laughed, “He is rampaging Hollywood with a large sum of money, completely breaking the inherent rules.

"You don't like him?" Natalie understood Ryan's mind naturally, "right?"

"It's not just me." Ryan spread his hands, pretending to say helplessly, "I believe that few Hollywood studios would like to break the rules got Disney, he not only stood The top of Hollywood has also become the defender of the inherent order.

For example, DreamWorks, if you talk about friendship alone, he has a good relationship with Steven Spielberg and Jeff Katzenberg, but he still chooses to join the alliance of the six major companies and relentlessly suppress DreamWorks. Those with vested interests will never easily give up their cakes to share with others.

Today's DreamWorks has been in a quagmire. As the difficulties encountered, the contradictions between the Big Three became more prominent. "Escape from the Clone Island" finally only gained more than 35 million US dollars in North America, causing huge losses. Let DreamWorks, which is already heavily in debt, unburdened.

DreamWorks now has only two ways to go, selling or bankruptcy and reorganization.

But the latter needs to raise large sums of money to revitalize the stagnant business. Now how many people are willing to invest in DreamWorks?

It is said that Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox both intend to take over the film and television business of DreamWorks, and they have also tried to contact each other, but they don't know which DreamWorks will ultimately commit to. r1152()
