When he was a child, Xia Yu liked to buy "torpedoes" to fry fish the most. The smaller ones cost fifty cents each, and the larger ones cost one dollar. They were much more exciting to set off than small firecrackers.
He still remembered that he couldn't even spend the lucky money he had finally received during the Chinese New Year on spicy strips, and basically spent all of it on this thing.
Now that I'm grown up and my conditions are better than before, it seems I can try the real thing.
"Dong~~"
Then there was another shot, and the submarine in the distance exploded into a fireball. The father and son exclaimed in excitement.
"When I can no longer fly planes, I'll start driving tanks."
Old Larry became interested in these iron lumps. Isn't this more interesting than a sports car?
"Magnesium and osmium are easier to collect, and you can still find some ? series, but it's hard to animate them like this, so they can only be kept at home as ornaments."
Xia Yu specifically reminded that even if Old Larry could get a MiG-29, he might not be able to get a functioning Tiger fighter.
"Don't worry, I just bought it for fun. It doesn't matter whether it's from World War II. A modern model might be more fun to drive."
I don't know whether it will be fun or not, but the caliber will definitely be larger. The mainstream caliber of modern tanks is around 120mm, which completely beats the Tiger's 88mm, not to mention those small and unique ones with a caliber of more than 70mm.
"Dad, buy the Leopard II, that's awesome!"
David followed suit and fanned the flames. The name told you it was a German tank. The Leopard 2 was a descendant of the Panther V, a main battle tank developed by Spain in the 1970s. It was better than the original and had very strong performance.
Although it is still active equipment, there are many export versions of this tank. With old Larry's resources, it is not a big deal to get one. If you are willing to dismantle the weapon system, you can legally drive it on the road. If you don't want to, you can park it on your own island. There is plenty of space anyway.
"Then buy the Leopard II. I'll call you when I get back."
Old Larry made the decision on the spot that since he had money, he didn't need to think too much. It would not be too late to find out about the performance data after buying the car. Cost-effectiveness would never be the top priority.
"By the way, Sherlock, do you want one?"
"Forget it. The ship's warehouses are already full. I won't consider collecting anything new until the first phase of construction on my island is completed."
Xia Yu politely declined Old Larry's invitation for "community group buying". A new car is very attractive, but he has a lot of classic cars that he hasn't sorted out yet, so he won't be greedy for the time being.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, the three drove the Tiger back to the warehouse and then had lunch together on the boat.
"Your modified yacht has a very high safety rating, but the scenery isn't as good as a regular yacht. Let's go to my Musashi for dinner, looking at US dollars while eating delicious food. That's the real enjoyment."
What Old Larry said makes sense. Not only is the restaurant of the Invincible-class ship almost completely enclosed, but almost all the cabins below the deck are also like this. Only the bridge can have a sea view, and only when the weather is good can you dine open-air on the flight deck.
However, Xia Yu has more than one yacht. The superstructure of the Polaris has several floors, and the master suite and restaurant are both on top. This difference can give him different experiences.
"And beauty, Sherlock you are a man who knows how to enjoy life."
Old Larry added, with a smile that all men understand.
There are differences in aesthetic tastes between the East and the West, but they are generally the same. He can see that Xia Yu's maids are all very beautiful.
"Hahaha, I can only say it's okay. There are too many beautiful things in the world, and I can only keep more of them around me."
The colorful world is fascinating, who isn’t an lsp?
After lunch, the three of them moved to the Musashi, where they sat on the upper deck, enjoying the sea breeze and afternoon fruit.
They ate and talked about Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, both of whom were friends of Larry Sr.
Because of his eccentric personality, Larry Sr. doesn't have many friends, and there is no Silicon Valley bigwig who has not been criticized by him, the most famous of whom is Bill Gates.
Competitors are enemies. They all make software, and Oracle has always been suppressed by Microsoft, so the two look down on each other. However, Gates rarely mentions it, but old Larry threatened to fly a fighter jet and drop a bomb on Microsoft headquarters.
Now his fighter jet can hardly fly, and he hasn't even dropped the bomb. He deserves the title of the king of big talk.
Xia Yu didn't know much about the late Steve Jobs, but he and old Larry had a lot in common when it came to Musk.
"Last December, I visited Tesla and SpaceX in Magnesium and met Musk, which made me more determined to make batteries."
"This is the right choice, just like I invested in Tesla very early on, which is the second largest investment of all my investments."
Old Larry himself works in software, but he is very optimistic about these high-tech physical industries. Only when software and hardware advance in tandem can society develop. Otherwise, all prosperity will be like rootless duckweed that will scatter at the slightest breeze.
Although it is unclear how many shares of Tesla he holds, he joined Tesla's board of directors as an independent director in 2018 and is the second largest individual shareholder after Musk.
A small retail investor like Xia Yu is certainly not worth mentioning in front of Lao Larry, but his background as an invisible rich man, his rising star in the power battery industry, and his compatible personality all make him look up to Xia Yu.
Oracle has retreated in the Chinese market, but Tesla's business in China has been growing steadily. Such changes have allowed his net worth to continue to grow steadily, and adjusting his development strategy has become a natural thing.
"No, it turns out we have such a fate. We must call Musk over. I'll call him now."
After hearing that Xia Yu also held a lot of Tesla shares, old Larry didn't say a word and directly put him on his side, and also made a big fanfare to bring Musk over.
