Silicon Valley

remember()

Williams Electronics Group released ys1, Hongnian Technology released Xiaomi and Blackmi mobile phones, but Apple was not idle either, and released pn1ps and the first tablet PC pd1.

pn1ps is purely to collect money, so no major changes have been made, but the configuration has been improved. After the release of the pd1 tablet, it was quite amazing, and the world couldn't help but be shocked! Although some people say that pd1 is just an enlarged version of pn1, but for Apple consumers, pd1 is very cool, not only easy to carry, but also the screen is relatively large, it is very convenient to watch movies and work. Once the pd is released, it leads the trend again, and the supply exceeds the demand.

On the day of the "10·1" Global Shopping Carnival, pd only sold 4.5 million units on Amazon! Originally the price per unit was 399 US dollars, but today it is discounted for only 299 US dollars, which is a full 100 US dollars cheaper, attracting countless people berserk! After the release of pn1ps, there were also many people rushing to buy it, and Apple made money!

Although Apple is not listed, senior Wall Street appraisers believe that if Apple is listed, its market value can definitely rank among the top 10 in the world. However, even if Apple is listed, it is also listed in the Williams Empire. The Digo Stock Exchange is under preparation and will be officially operational in the middle of next year. At that time, the shocking moment will come. The world's top ten market capitalization companies have been listed on the Digo Stock Exchange! ! ! !

The east wind blows, the drums of war are beating, the foreigner's eyes fall down! Yes, that's right, it will surely make everyone stunned!

According to the statistics of the Williams Imperial Geological Survey, the graphite produced by China, India and Brazil accounts for 90% of the world's total output!

Super Materials has made many technological breakthroughs in the production of graphene, and Henry is planning to acquire graphite mines worldwide! By 2005, graphene batteries will be officially launched, not to mention a sensation in the world, it will inevitably cause the price of graphene's raw material graphite to rise! At present, because of the difficulty of manufacturing graphene (for other companies), people usually only use graphite as magnesia-carbon refractories, aluminum-carbon refractories and crucibles. The commercial use value is low, resulting in a very low price of graphite. It's a good time for Henry to buy dips!

Henry needed to manufacture a large amount of graphene and applied it to space elevators, graphene super combat suits, robots, graphene computers, spacecraft, satellites, rockets, airplanes, tanks, ships, cars, mobile phones, bicycles, graphene solar photovoltaic panels As well as all kinds of batteries, etc., almost all of them can use graphene.

Graphene is not only the thinnest material, but also the strongest material, with a fracture strength 200 times higher than the best steel. At the same time, it has good elasticity, and the stretching range can reach 20% of its own size. A piece of graphene with an area of ​​1 square meter is made into a hammock, and its weight is less than 1 milligram to withstand a one kilogram of cat! Such powerful materials can be called the "king of new materials" in the 21st century! ! !

And graphene can become a substitute for silicon, making ultra-micro transistors, which can be used to produce supercomputers in the future. Using graphene to replace silicon, computer processors will run hundreds of times faster.

Zimbabwe produces about 5,000 tons of various types of natural graphite, and Henry has long bought the mine at a price close to cabbage!

Madagascar's graphite ore reserves rank first in Africa, especially with very scarce flake graphite deposits. The size and quality of its flakes are highly praised by the industry! This really made Henry very happy. Even without buying from outsiders, Madagascar can be self-sufficient! However, as a future strategic resource, graphite must be less digged in the country and used as a reserve.

Henry then set up a company called "Global Graphite Producer Company", which specializes in purchasing graphite mines around the world.

China's graphite output is the world's largest, reaching 840,000 tons, followed by India, which is only one-seventh of China's graphite output. Naturally, the main acquisition target of Global Graphite Producer Company is China's graphite mines. However, considering the possibility of banning the export of graphite, Henry still dare not put his eggs in a basket.

India, Brazil, and Australia are also the main targets of the "Global Graphite Producer Company", and they are relatively close to the Williams Empire, so shipping is convenient! In the lower right corner of India, there is an island country called "Sri Lanka". According to the investigation of the Williams Imperial Geology Bureau, Sri Lanka has the world-famous largest vein deposit. The graphite deposit is located on the western and southwestern edges of the island. The only high-quality vein-like deposit, this deposit has highly graphitized ore! Henry had to take down this mine no matter what! Except for these countries, how can there be no graphite mines in the huge Africa? It's just not discovered for the time being. These African countries are very poor, their exploration technology is weak, and they don't pay much attention to graphite ore. So, I haven't heard of a large amount of graphite ore. But Henry will send geologists to explore and buy it when he finds it!

In mid-October, Global Graphite Producer Company completed preparations and began to purchase graphite mines on a global scale.

"Your Majesty, we have sent 100 acquisition teams to all parts of the world to carry out acquisitions at the same time, and try to acquire graphite mines at lightning speed and at a low price before the news spreads!"

Talking to Henry is Anna Tuttle of Global Graphite Producer. She was previously a vice president of the Williams Mines Group. She is a 39-year-old professional woman with blue eyes, blond hair, tall stature, and now transferred here. when.

"100 acquisition teams to acquire as different companies?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Anna Tuttle nodded and replied.

"If you can't buy it, you can also sign a supply agreement with them! The demand for graphite in the Williams Empire will be a huge number!"

Global Graphite Producer Company is a subsidiary of Super Materials. Therefore, Anna Tuttle takes over Global Graphite Producer Company and has an understanding of the business development of the group company.

"Yes!"

...

China, Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company.

"Mr. Hopkins, hello, do you want to bid 150 million US dollars to buy Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company?" a middle-aged man with a big belly asked in surprise. Right now, the graphite market is not good, 1,000 yuan a ton, Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company is one of the two largest graphite production companies in China, with an annual output of about 40,000 tons and annual sales of at most 40 million yuan. The profit is very low, less than 8 million yuan, not losing money is considered good.

"Yes, that's right! Are you selling it or not? The day after tomorrow, I have to go elsewhere!"

"This, we need to discuss with the local government to make a decision!"

"Okay, call the government leaders over to discuss it now. The decision is made and tell me immediately!" After speaking, the foreign man named Hopkins got into a black car and left.

The potbellied middle-aged man yelled at the people around him: "What do you see, don't hesitate to call the township chief and the others!"

After speaking, he walked to a rock under the big tree and sat up, then took a cigarette from his pocket, and slowly swallowed the clouds. "150 million U.S. dollars is 1.2 billion renminbi, which is more profitable than mines!"

An hour later, the mayor hurried over in a special car.

"Taozi, is there a foreigner who wants to buy Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company at a high price?!" The town chief asked aloud to the middle-aged man sitting on the rock smoking.

The middle-aged man took the cigarette out, stood up, walked to the mayor, and said, "Yes, he said he offered 150 million US dollars and asked us to discuss it. After the discussion is over, he will reply immediately because he will leave the day after tomorrow!"

"So anxious!" The mayor couldn't help frowning.

The potbellied middle-aged man leaned into the ear of the town chief and whispered: "The town chief, our Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company doesn't make money at all. Let me see, let's just sell the company for 120 million US dollars, which is quite a lot. Hey!" After finishing speaking, he did not forget to wink at the mayor.

The mayor coughed twice, and groaned slightly, and then said, "Well, you can sell it, but you have to increase the price and let the locals continue to work here. The company can't be sold. , Make everyone unemployed?"

"Yes, yes, the mayor is right, then I will contact Mr. Hopkins!"

"En!" The mayor nodded in response.

That night, Hopkins sat with the local government and entrepreneurs to have a meal. After the meal was over, the business was negotiated.

Hopkins added another 10 million U.S. dollars to acquire Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company for a total of 160 million U.S. dollars, and promised not to dismiss the original workers. On the contrary, it will recruit more workers, purchase advanced equipment, and expand. The capacity of the mine!

The Liumao Township Government of Jixi City is very satisfied with this transaction. Not only has it received a huge amount of extra capital, but the other party will also vigorously develop mines and promote the local economy, which is very good! ! !

However, within a few days, the price of graphite rose from 1,000 yuan per ton in vain, and news of the acquisition of graphite mines came from all over the world, which attracted media attention.

"Reuters" reported: "According to Reuters statistics, from October 15th, within a week, 103 graphite mining companies around the world have been acquired, with a total purchase price of about 8.5 billion U.S. dollars! Obviously, this It is an acquisition plan for graphite, and there must be a huge company with strong funds behind it! But we believe that it will not be long before this hidden company will eventually surface!!!"

At this time, the industry was surprised.

"What's the matter? Actually, a company has acquired a large number of graphite mines? Graphite is not valuable..."

Liumao Township, Jixi City, China.

"The mayor~www.readwn.com~ The price of graphite has skyrocketed. From the previous 1,000 yuan per ton, it has now risen to 3,000 yuan per ton, and it continues to rise. We may lose money!!!" The man said bitterly.

"En...According to my analysis, it may be that international speculators want to secretly manipulate the price of graphite and wait until the price of graphite rises to the highest point before throwing it away!" The mayor paused and said with a very certain tone, "Hope Kings may be one of these international speculators!!!"

"As expected to be the mayor, really Hui Ruju, you can see through their conspiracy and tricks!" The middle-aged man with a big belly complimented.

At this time, a female college student who had just become a village official and had no knowledge of world affairs suddenly asked: "But the mayor, I heard that Mr. Hopkins has purchased a lot of advanced mining equipment from abroad. Hype, he doesn't need to spend this money at all?"

When the mayor heard this, he became very embarrassed. A middle-aged man with a big belly on the side of a college student female village officer scolded: "You a college student who just graduated knows a shit, and the equipment can be bought to make a better hype!"
