Williams Electronics Group released the GalaxyS1, Hongnian Technology released Xiaomi and Heimi phones, but Apple was not idle, releasing the iPhone 1-Plus and the first tablet, the iPad 1. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The iphone1-plus is purely for money, so it hasn't changed much, but the configuration has been improved a bit. After the release of the iPad1 tablet, it was quite amazing, and the world couldn't help but be shocked again! Although some people say that the iPad1 is just an enlarged version of the iPhone1, but for Apple consumers, the iPad1 is very cool, not only easy to carry, but also has a relatively large screen, which is very convenient for watching movies and working. As soon as the iPad was released, it led the trend again, and demand outstripped supply.

On the day of the "10.1" global shopping carnival, the iPad sold 4.5 million units on Amazon alone! The original price of each unit was $399, but today it was discounted, and it was only sold for $299, which was $100 cheaper, attracting countless people to rush to grab it! After the release of the iPhone1-Plus, many people also snapped up buying it, and Apple made a lot of money!

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

The east wind is blowing, the war drums are beating, and the foreigner's eyeballs are falling! Yes, that's right, it will definitely make everyone stunned!

According to the Williams Empire Geological Survey, China, India and Brazil produce 90% of the world's graphite!

Super Materials has made many technological breakthroughs in the production of graphene, and Henry is planning to acquire graphite mines around the world! By 2005, graphene batteries will be officially launched, not to mention the sensation of the world, which will inevitably lead to the rise in the price of graphene, the raw material of graphene! At present, because graphene is difficult to manufacture (for other companies), people usually only regard graphite as a magnesium-carbon refractory The use of aluminum-carbon refractories and crucibles has low commercial utilization value, resulting in a very low price of graphite, and this is a good time for Henry to buy the bottom!

Henry needs to make a large amount of graphene, which is applied to space elevators, graphene super combat suits, robots, graphene computers, spaceships, satellites, rockets, airplanes, tanks, ships, cars, mobile phones, bicycles, graphene solar photovoltaic panels and various batteries, etc., almost everything you can think of can use graphene.

Graphene is both the thinnest and strongest material, with a breaking strength 200 times higher than that of the best steel. At the same time, it has good elasticity, and the stretch range can reach 20% of its own size. A piece of graphene with an area of 1 square meter made of hammock can withstand a one-kilogram cat with a weight of less than 1 milligram!!

And graphene can be used as a substitute for silicon to make ultra-miniature transistors that will be used to produce the supercomputers of the future. By replacing silicon with graphene, computer processors will run hundreds of times faster.

Zimbabwe produces about 5,000 tons of various types of natural graphite, which has long been bought by Henry at a price close to that of cabbage!

Madagascar has the largest graphite reserves in Africa, especially the very scarce flake graphite deposits, and the size and quality of its flakes are highly respected by the industry! Even if Madagascar does not buy from the outside world, it will be self-sufficient! However, as a strategic resource in the future, graphite will definitely be dug less in its own country and used as a reserve.

Henry then had people set up a company called the Global Graphite Producers Company to acquire graphite mines around the world.

China is the world's largest graphite producer, reaching 840,000 tons, followed by India, which produces only one-seventh of China's graphite. Naturally, the main acquisition target of global graphite producers is graphite mines in China. But considering that ******** may introduce a policy to ban graphite exports, Henry still does not dare to put his eggs in one basket.

India, Brazil, and Australia are also the main targets of the "Global Graphite Producers Company," and they are still relatively close to the Williams Empire, and the shipping is convenient! There is an island country in the lower right corner of India, called "Sri Lanka," and according to the survey of the Williams Empire Geological Bureau, Sri Lanka has the world's largest vein deposit, which is located on the western and southwestern edges of the island, and is the only high-quality vein deposit in the world, and the deposit has a high degree of graphitized ore! Henry has to take down this mine anyway! In addition to these countries, how can there be no graphite ore in the huge Africa? It's just that they haven't been discovered for the time being, these African countries are very poor, the exploration technology is weak, and the graphite ore is not paid attention to, so far, I have not heard of any large amount of graphite mine. But Henry will send geologists to explore, and when he finds it, he buys it!

In mid-October, Global Graphite Producers completed its preparations and began a frenzied acquisition of graphite mines around the world.

"Your Majesty, we have sent 100 acquisition teams to various parts of the world to make simultaneous acquisitions, and try to acquire graphite mines at lightning speed and low prices before the news spreads!"

Talking to Henry is Anna Tuttle, CEO of Global Graphite Producers, a blue-eyed, blonde, tall, thirty-nine-year-old professional woman who was previously a vice president of Williams Mining Group, and who has now been transferred to become CEO.

"100 acquisition teams in different capacities?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Anna Tuttle with a nod.

"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 Producers is part of Super Materials, so Anna Tuttle has taken over Global Graphite Producers and has a good understanding of the group's business development.

"Yes!"

……

China, Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company.

"Hello, Mr. Hopkins, you said you were bidding $150 million to acquire Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources?" asked a middle-aged man with a big belly, full of surprise. At present, 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 up to 40 million yuan, while the profit is very low, less than 8 million yuan, not losing money has been calculated.

"Yes, that's right, do you sell it or not? The day after tomorrow, I have to go somewhere else!"

"We need to discuss this with the local government before we can decide!"

"Okay, call the government leaders over now to discuss, decide, tell me immediately!" After saying that, a foreign man named Hopkins got into a black car and left.

The pot-bellied middle-aged man shouted at the people around him at the top of his voice: "Look at it, why don't you hurry up and call the township chief and them!"

With that, he walked to a stone under the tree and sat up, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and slowly swallowed the clouds and smoked the fog. "150 million US dollars is 1.2 billion yuan, which is more profitable than a mine!"

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

"Taozi, there is a foreigner who wants to buy Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company at a high price?!" the township chief asked loudly to the middle-aged man sitting on the stone smoking as soon as he got out of the car.

The middle-aged man flicked the cigarette out, stood up, walked up to the township chief, and said, "That's right, he said that he would bid $150 million, and asked us to discuss, and after the discussion, I immediately replied to him, because he will leave the day after tomorrow!"

"What a hurry!" the township chief couldn't help frowning.

The pot-bellied middle-aged man leaned into the ear of the township chief and whispered: "Township chief, our Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company is not profitable at all, if you want me to see, let's just sell the company, 120 million US dollars, but a lot!" After speaking, he did not forget to give the township chief a look.

The township chief coughed twice, groaned slightly, and said: "Well, you can sell it, but what about it, the price must be increased a little, and the locals must continue to work here, and the company can't sell it and make everyone unemployed, right?"

"Yes, yes, the township chief is right, then I'll contact Mr. Hopkins!"

"Yes!" the township chief nodded in response.

That evening, Hopkins sat down for dinner with the local government and entrepreneurs, and after the meal, the business was negotiated.

Hopkins added another $10 million, a total of $160 million to acquire Jixi Liumao Graphite Resources Company, and promised not to lay off the original workers, on the contrary, to recruit more workers, buy advanced equipment, and expand the mine's production capacity!

The government of Liumao Township, Jixi City, is very satisfied with this transaction, not only has it obtained a huge amount of foreign investment, but also the other party will vigorously develop the mine and promote the local economy, which is very good!!

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

"Reuters" reported: "According to Reuters statistics, starting from October 15, within a week, 103 graphite mining companies around the world have been acquired, with a total purchase price of about $8.5 billion! Obviously, this is a plan to acquire 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 taken by surprise.

"What's going on? There are companies buying a lot of graphite mines? Graphite is not valuable......

Liumao Township, Jixi City, China.

"Township Chief, the price of graphite has skyrocketed, from 1,000 yuan per ton before, to 3,000 yuan per ton now, and it continues to rise, we may lose !!money," the pot-bellied middle-aged man said with a bitter face.

"Well...... According to my analysis, it may be that international speculators want to secretly manipulate the price of graphite, and when the price of graphite rises to the highest point, and then throw it away!" The township chief paused, and said in a very firm tone, "Hopkins may be one of these international speculators!!"

"It's worthy of being the head of the township, it's really discerning, and you can see through their conspiracy at once!" the pot-bellied middle-aged man complimented.

At this time, a female college student who had just become a village official and was ignorant of the world suddenly asked: "But the township chief, I heard that Mr. Hopkins has purchased a large amount of advanced mining equipment from abroad, if it is just for speculation, he has no need to spend this money at all?"

When the township chief heard this, he immediately became very embarrassed, and the middle-aged man with a big belly on the side scolded the female village official of the college student: "You are a college student who has just graduated and knows a fart, and the equipment is bought, so you can better hype!"
