Chapter 684 Men speak with size

The sun fell into the sea to the west. Ryan walked onto the yacht ‘ts’ with Natalie. After honking the whistle, the 396-foot yacht slowly drove away from the yacht pier in Santa Monica. As the speed accelerated, he rushed to the outer sea through the wind and waves.

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 surface ahead.

The sun that moved to the west completely disappeared, but the afterglow left behind contrasts with the blue sea surface, forming a unique and beautiful sunset scene.

"Leave Los Angeles." Natalie lowered her head slightly and asked Ryan to cover her hood. "Facing with the empty sea, I finally can't feel the pressure."

"It turns out that my Nat feels stressed too." Ryan pulled open the cabinet on one side, took two bottles of functional drinks, handed Natalie a bottle, and said in a joke. "I originally thought that Nat was fearless."

"Honey……"

Natalie was about to speak when a yacht in front, which was much longer than the ‘ts’, appeared in a place not particularly far away. The other party seemed to know Ryan’s yacht, and suddenly a whistle sounded. Especially when the two ships crossed, the yacht was almost close to the closest safe distance, and the long whistle sound did not interrupt.

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

Ryan and Natalie frowned. They were very impolite. And those who could buy such a huge yacht must be famous super rich people in the United States. This is no different from those Russian outbreakers.

"Who is this?" Natalie looked at the yacht slowly leaving in disgust, heading towards the Santa Monica Harbor, "It's so annoying."

"Lary Ellison's Sun Rising Sun."

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

"Why did he do this?" Natalie turned her head.

"Showing it up, it shows that he has overwhelmed me on the yacht." Ryan didn't care. He was not a child, "Don't forget. This person has always liked to fight with others. I threw him with shoes in Nanka a few years ago, but now I'm left behind the rich list. I guess I feel very embarrassed."

"You wouldn't want to build a bigger yacht..." Natalie slapped the guardrail playfully, "and compare him, right?"

“I’m not that bored.”

He pulled Natalie for a moment. The two sat on the white plastic chair in the back. "I guess Larry Ellison didn't expect to meet us outside the port. Otherwise, there would definitely be a more exciting program."

"Didn't everything that happened at the beginning?"

Unscrew the bottle, Natalie took a sip on herself and fed Ryan with a sip. "I heard that Larry Ellison, although he acted arrogantly, was not a narrow-minded person."

"The movie his son invested in was that David Ellison."

After seeing Natalie nodding, Ryan continued, "With half of the investment in Sony Columbia's "Top Secret Flight" released this month comes from David Ellison. The schedule of this film happens to conflict with our "Hulk" and is considered the most direct competitor. "Hulk" has now won more than $110 million in North America's box office, and "Top Secret Flight" has not yet had $20 million."

"I've heard of this, too." Natalie also remembered, put the functional drink on the table, and said with a smile, "It is said that David Ellison saw that there would be planes and air combat in the film, and immediately found Sony Columbia Pictures and asked for investment."

"Larry Ellison has had many arguments with the media." Ryan leaned on the back of the chair, "The media will definitely not miss the opportunity to laugh at them."

"So, he met you." Natalie automatically took Ryan's words, "Do you want to compare yourself with another way?"

With Larry Ellison's style, Ryan wouldn't care. Think about the grudge between this Oracle madman and several Microsoft giants in the past two years. This is 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 dealing with Microsoft from Microsoft's trash can. When Microsoft suddenly received a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice for one of its bundled sales, senior Microsoft executives, including Bill Gates and Paul Allen, were caught off guard.

This is the sensational "trash gate" incident in the IT world.

Ryan still remembers what Bill Gates denounced Larry Ellison ten years ago - look at those hypocritical companies that actually do such despicable and obscene acts to their competitors!

But the initiator was very proud. Larry Ellison not only quickly admitted that everything was done by himself, but also proudly announced that I was satisfied with everything I did.

From then on, even if Ellison and Microsoft's ties were formed, the two top IT companies giants broke up without any hesitation. No matter what good things happened on either side, the other side would always make a fuss, just not letting their opponents feel good.

Two years ago, the 413-foot superyacht, once launched, will surpass Ryan's 'Ts' and the private yachts of several oil tycoons in the Middle East, becoming the world's first-length private yacht.

The news spread quickly. In order to win the old enemies Bill Gates and Paul Allen and Larry Ellison in life, they decided to lengthen the yacht they were building, which is the "Rainbow Sun" that they had just sailed.

The yacht was planned to be 403 feet long, originally built just to surpass Ryan's 'ts', but later Larry Ellison increased the length to 452 feet, because he didn't want the Rising Sun to become the second child as soon as he was born.

Today, the "Xiu Sun" is truly the world's number one, and the yacht-sized dispute that has been undercurrent has also been pulled to the surface by lunatics in Silicon Valley.

This super rich man seemed to want to use a yacht to tell the world that men still have to speak with size!

Yachts are a way for Western rich people to show off their wealth the most.

In fact, not only these famous wealthy people in the United States, but also Hollywood celebrities also have a special liking for yachts.

Following the popularity of private jets after 9/11, yachts have become a must-have luxury for many Hollywood first-tier giants. Not to mention others, even the fat girl Scarlett Johnson spent millions of dollars to buy a small yacht, and Stephen Spielberg, one of the three DreamWorks giants, spent nearly $200 million to customize a 282-foot-long "Seven Seas" from Dutch yacht manufacturers.

"Didn't you say Scarlett and Alison went out to sea as well?"

As the sky gradually darkened, Natalie's eyes turned to the distance with a flying seagull, "Where have they been?"

"Sgay's boat can't go to the far sea." Ryan pointed to the north facing the stern of the yacht, "They went to San Francisco, and it seemed they were going to participate in some event."

"Activity?" Natalie frowned, and saw that Ryan was not caring at all, so she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

"It's supper time." Ryan looked at his watch. Natalie had no intention of leaving. "I want to eat outside."

"Okay." Ryan took the phone on one side, "I'll send it to you."

There are many types of dinners, but not large in quantity. Natalie herself has a limited appetite, so she just put down her knife and fork after eating a little steak.

Since the end of the promotion of "The Hunger Games", she has been busy with the post-production of "127" for more than a month. The pressure on her work is naturally a bit high, so Ryan rarely talks about this. Instead, she keeps talking about gossip and fun things in the circle to make her happy and let her completely relax.

"Do 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 the news that he pulled $60 million from Larry Ellison and planned to invest in air combat movies again."

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

"Failure is inevitable." Ryan pointed his head, "David Ellison's place has not yet figured out what Hollywood movies are like. The money you invest now is simply paying tuition."

"What else?"

Ryan laughed at Natalie's question, "He was rampant in Hollywood with a large sum of money, completely breaking the inherent rules."

"You don't like him?" Natalie naturally understood Ryan's thoughts, "Are you?"

"It's not just me." Ryan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I believe there are not many Hollywood production companies who like to break the rules."

After winning Disney, he not only stood at the top of Hollywood, but also became the defender of the inherent order.

For example, DreamWorks, if you are just in friendship, he has a good relationship with Stephen Spielberg and Jerry Fert Carsonberg, but he still chooses to join the alliance of six major companies and ruthlessly suppress DreamWorks. The existing vested interest class will never give up their cake and share it with others.

Today, DreamWorks is already in a quagmire. As the difficulties encountered, the contradictions between the three giants are becoming more and more prominent. "Escape from the Cloned Island" finally only earned more than 35 million US dollars in North America, causing huge losses, which has already been heavily in debt, and has lived up to the burden.

DreamWorks now has only two roads left, for sale or bankruptcy and reorganization.

But the latter needs to raise a large amount of money to revitalize a stagnant business. How many people are willing to invest in DreamWorks now?
