Start by trimming cow hooves

Although the old cowboy Andy is rigorous and serious in his work, he is not a boring person.

Standing on the deck of the valuable yacht Lanai, sipping the cocktail prepared by the waiter and looking at the Maui Island directly in front of him in the sea breeze, he also had a smile on his face.

Enjoying something, who doesn’t like that?

Not to mention that you don’t have to pay any money and the taste is even better.

At this moment, I heard Suri mention that the cargo to be picked up later was an Arabian horse.

Others don't know the goods.

Old Andy was a little surprised and asked:

"Is it that kind of extremely expensive Arabian purebred horse? There was an oil tycoon who once fostered three Arabian horses at the ranch where I worked before. It is said that the total value is more than one million US dollars. These things are similar to Australian Wagyu cattle. , the purer the bloodline, the more expensive the price will be.”

Suri was also drinking, holding a cup of Long Island iced tea.

This cocktail is made from vodka, gin, etc., and a large amount of Feizhai Happy Water. Although it tastes sweet, it actually has quite a lot of stamina.

He didn't hide it, shrugged, and said in a calm tone: "It's a housewarming gift from my partner, Mark Zuckerberg. Since you called me personally, the price shouldn't be cheap. I want to know how much it is. I’m not sure yet.”

"What a familiar name...ah, that's right! The Harvard guy who founded Facebook and became a rich man?!"

It was Little Rock who spoke, with expressions on his face that varied from shock to surprise.

There is another young man with freckles named Bennett, whose sister runs a cafe in the town.

His eyes were bright at this moment and he said with admiration:

"The boss is really awesome. He can actually let such a rich man from Silicon Valley give you a gift. Maybe because you are too young, you sometimes forget that you are also a super rich man in Silicon Valley."

Suri didn’t have much airs about her, so she joked:

"What do you think the super rich are like? Do they always scatter money while walking? This is similar to when Little Rock moves and you give him a bottle of wine. It's just to maintain the relationship with each other. Several other major shareholders always like to talk to him. Even though Zuckerberg was working against him, I was the only one who didn’t have any conflicts with him and even provided some help, so we have a relatively good relationship.”

No matter Rock Jr. or Bennett.

At this time, there is a feeling of opening the door to a new world and coming into contact with a whole new level.

Little Roque, nicknamed "French Peter Pan", the only thing that made him famous in his life was winning a few gold medals in high school running. Now he couldn't wait to ask:

"Tell us about Silicon Valley. That place is so mysterious, especially to us Hawaiians. It's like a new world with dollars everywhere. I only know that many people make money in Silicon Valley. Ellison, Steve Jobs, the Amazon shopping guy, there are too many... including you, the boss, of course."

Suri smiled, shook his head and said:

"It's just a special place, not as interesting as Los Angeles. There will always be opportunities in the future, and I can take you to visit..."

After saying that, he started to zone out.

Mainly because I thought about investing in an online shopping company in Hawaii before.

Considering that the local population is only over one million, and the distance between the islands is not that far, it is certainly not difficult to run a relatively mature online shopping company, but due to the market size, don't expect to make too much money.

It is more suitable to incubate a project, win the market, then sell it to mature companies such as Amazon and eBay, and make some money to subsidize the expenses of Lanai Island.

By then, there may be tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in income, which is worth a little effort.

In just a short moment, Su Rui even thought about the manpower responsible for the project.

It just so happens that my own father has nothing to do, and he has been investing since the 1980s and has been exposed to the Internet industry. This project is suitable for killing time.

Suri's own net worth was earned through his first pot of gold from singing, and then from his successive investments in just a few years.

In fact, his parents still quietly hold nearly $300 million in stocks.

In the 1980s, he invested in Microsoft, Intel and Oracle. In the 1990s, he invested in Netscape, Yahoo and other companies. After entering the 21st century, he also held shares in Amazon, Apple and other companies.

I have been speculating in stocks and obsessed with the Internet sector.

The principal of US$200,000 to US$300,000 in the late 1980s has now increased thousands of times. Judging from this terrifying rate of return alone, the old stock god looks weak compared to Suri's father. .

It's a pity that Suri's parents don't have much ambition.

After getting rich, he became more and more prudent and often turned a deaf ear to his suggestions.

Otherwise, if you invest in some start-up companies like him earlier, Suri's father will definitely have a place at the top of the Forbes list.

Missing it means missing it.

Putting aside some vanities such as fame and social status, and just talking about life itself, in fact, after wealth reaches a certain scale, there will be no qualitative leap, and you basically have everything you should have.

Look back at it.

Like his parents, who were content and happy, life was actually easy and comfortable.

…

Amidst the flattering sounds of Little Rock and Bennett, the yacht slowly docked at the dock.

I stood on the street and took a taxi, and soon arrived at Kahului Airport.

This is the second largest airport in Hawaii, with a passenger throughput of more than 5 million passengers every year. Many flights from Asia to the United States will transfer here.

Sitting in a taxi, after briefly checking the information about Kahului Airport, Suri felt that it seemed even more unnecessary to build a private airport on Lanai Island.

It only takes more than half an hour to get there by boat from Lanai, and even more so in the blink of an eye if you take a helicopter.

It is obviously too wasteful to spend tens of millions of dollars building a private airport just to save such a small amount of time.

Think of this.

Inexplicably, I have the illusion of making tens of millions of dollars all at once.

The group came to the airport happily and went to the cargo window to show the logistics information sent by Mark Zuckerberg. The mean middle-aged female teller insisted that they provide the official freight bill.

Suri doesn't have that thing either. You can't call Zuckerberg to help arrange for such a trivial matter. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

He put his arms on the counter, pointed at his face, and asked:

"I usually don't like to rely on my face to get things done, but this is a special situation. Don't you know who I am? Open Google or Facebook and search for Suri. I think you will help me handle it."

Little Rock couldn't wait to say: "Yes! He is the new owner of Lanai Island, the super rich Suri!"

The female teller was too lazy to search and didn't understand the world. She stretched out her hand to push up her glasses and only replied: "No, I can't. If you don't have an air waybill, get out of the way. There are other people queuing behind you."

"..."

Suri looked back and saw there was no one else behind.

It didn't make sense to the teller. Even if Little Rock tried to talk, the other person was still unmoved.

He simply went directly to the airport manager and mentioned that he wanted to send his private jet here for daily maintenance and rent a warehouse to park the aircraft.

It's much easier to talk about things this time.

A cage covered with black cloth was quickly loaded and transported to Suri. He opened the black cloth and took a look. Inside was a silver-white half-sized pony.

There was also a box tied to the iron cage railing. After opening it, I found that documents such as bloodline certificates and purchase contracts were all inside.

Simply browse through the contract.

Suri was surprised to find that this Egyptian purebred Arabian horse was actually worth $950,000.

This price can buy four Ferrari F430s in the United States. For a horse, it is indeed ridiculously expensive, and it is already considered a luxury item...
