"Mr. Lin, congratulations! Another company has been successfully listed! According to public data alone, the equity you own in Aika Electronics is worth 12 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Guo Henian, one of the new four wealthy families in Hong Kong's Chinese business circles, couldn't help but say in admiration, "People say that the Chinese are economic animals in the world that are similar to Jews. However, in the past 100 years, Chinese people have only done business in a small format, but Mr. Lin, a contemporary god of wealth, has never had one!"

Lin Qi smiled and said: "I am only a nouveau riche! Like Mr. Guo, who has connections all over the world, can be regarded as a super-rich businessman." If there is a chance for you, I believe that it will not be impossible for you to increase your wealth dozens of times and become the richest person in the world!"

Guo Henian smiled: "When you are old, it is impossible for a young man like you to dare to think about it!"

"No, I think you old-timers still need to work together to make money! The Chinese all over the world are scattered all over the world, maybe a plate of scattered sand. But we, the global Chinese capitalists, should at least unite to form a larger pattern. Avoid being impacted by the political, military, and other risks of a single region!" Lin Qi said with a smile.

Kwok has been hailed as one of Hong Kong's four wealthy families in recent years, because he has lived in Hong Kong all year round. But in fact, he made his fortune in Malaysia and is known as the richest man in Malaysia.

However, the political status of the Chinese in Malaysia is actually very low, and no matter how many people there are, it is easy to become lambs to the slaughter.

Historically, the number of massacres of Chinese in Nanyang countries has been countless. Even after World War II, there were more than two large-scale ethnic cleansing of Chinese in Indonesia.

The degree of suppression and exclusion of the Chinese in Malaysia is slightly better than that in Indonesia, but it is also very dangerous.

There are a lot of lessons from the past, so that the richest man in Malaysia, like many Chinese businessmen, for the sake of the safety of the family business, gradually shifted the industry from Southeast Asia to Hong Kong and China, which is more stable and safe.

In essence, China's reform and opening up has attracted the most capital, not the capital of developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, but more capital of overseas Chinese has been introduced because of the policy of opening up.

Lin Qi's current level of wealth is not bragging, and he can be called the richest person in the history of the Chinese world. At least, none of the known rich people are richer than him. However, Lin Qi felt that he was still weak by himself, and what he could do was still very limited.

For example, although Guo Henian's wealth is far less than that of Lin Qi, his family is the leading Chinese businessman in Southeast Asia, and the political and business network resources in many regions, especially in Malaysia, where he has been operating for many years, are far from being comparable to Lin Qi.

The reason why he is willing to make friends with Guo Henian is also because he is Chinese! Moreover, he is a businessman with a lot of energy and a reputation that is not bad in the Chinese world!

"Mr. Lin is willing to give the opportunity to cooperate, even if I lose money, I am willing to follow!" Guo Henian said very proudly.

"It's not a loss of money, but this business is more cumbersome, and it also tests the connections of various countries. Lin Qi said seriously, "The political systems and social customs of all countries are the same, and when it comes to mineral resources, a background is needed in any country. I do it alone, I don't care about the money, I'm afraid that the background is not deep enough, I can't control the field, and the resources I get will be swallowed up again!"

"Oh, investment resources, what resources?" Guo Henian said with interest, "tin ore or oil?"

Malaysia's specialty, in addition to plantations, tin ore and oil are also quite famous. Guo Henian originally started as a plantation, but also ran a hotel and mining industry.

"No! Including copper, iron, lithium, cobalt, nickel and other metal ores, some minerals are relatively few now, and they are not too expensive, for example, lithium, cobalt, nickel, but it will be difficult to say in the future!" Lin Qi smiled.

"Mr. Lin, the purchase of these mines should be for the sake of batteries, right?" Guo Henian said sensitively.

"Yes!" Lin Qi said, "I do business, and I don't want raw materials to be controlled by others, so I hold some necessary mineral resources in my hands." Iron, copper and other minerals, although also used, but not scarce, but the country continues to engage in infrastructure construction, this basic metal ore is also needed. The output of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other raw materials is not too high, and after the application is gradually excavated, it is no problem to increase the price several times or even more than ten times or twenty times in the future! Preferably, we should also control the minerals of more countries and establish a company with international pricing power in the field of some metals!"

"This business sounds good!" Guo Henian's eyes lit up, and in a blink of an eye, he felt that things were not so simple, in terms of the Guo family's industry and connections in Malaysia, it was already top-notch.

In the history of Malaysia's independence, although there was no direct massacre like in Indonesia, the Chinese exclusion was a long-standing ideology. In its country's elections, whether Malay or Chinese politicians, they basically cheat some Chinese votes before being elected. However, after being elected, he will inevitably integrate into the main Malay ethnic group and betray the interests of the Chinese.

The Malays at the bottom of the Chinese can only endure numbness because it is difficult to get out. However, the high-level Malay Chinese will basically choose to move their assets out of Malay. To put it simply, Singapore's economic rise, in essence, has also benefited from the anti-Chinese tradition of many countries in Southeast Asia. As a result, the emergence of a Chinese country in Southeast Asia has continuously attracted Chinese capital from Southeast Asia.

It was precisely because he deeply felt the danger of Southeast Asia to the Chinese that Guo Henian gradually moved his family business northward, first to Hong Kong, and then gradually to invest in China.

Lin Qi is ready to make resource reserves for the lithium battery industry, which is naturally inseparable from dealing with political and business forces around the world. Although the benefits of these resources may not be as large as those of oil, they are not simply investments that can solve all kinds of problems. It is precisely for this reason that Lin Qi is ready to recruit overseas Chinese businessmen to form a company similar to Glencore.

Glencore, like Goldman Sachs in the financial industry, is very active in countries around the world. Where there is finance, you can see Goldman Sachs. And where there are resources, you may see Glencore.

Glencore's model is to attract people with political and personal resources from all over the world to join, so that these partners can solve various problems in the regions where the mineral resources are located.

Although Glencore was only founded in the 70s, it has grown at a rapid pace. For decades, Glencore has dared to acquire a large number of high-quality resources and minerals internationally, whether legal or illegal. Although the company has been in negative news, it has a huge say in the future not only in terms of global coal, copper mines and other resources. Moreover, in the field of non-ferrous metals related to rechargeable batteries, such as lithium ore, cobalt ore and nickel ore, it controls most of the high-quality coal resources.

Although Lin Qi's main business is not the energy and resource industry, the price of both energy and resources in the future will be much more expensive than now. Therefore, the large-scale layout of the resource and energy industry now can be called a good business in the next 30 years. Rare non-ferrous metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel are not only promising, but also the world's resources are limited and in short supply. If you don't deploy resources early, even if you master the core technology in the future, you will be stuck because of resources!

Although, many people feel that overseas Chinese are scattered and take care of their own interests, and will not take into account the collective interests of the ethnic group. However, Lin Qi felt that this was mainly due to the lack of organization, and that the Jews had also been abused for thousands of years. However, after being beaten more and understanding the principle of grouping, in the end, the Jews became the most grouped and difficult to be bullied in the world.

Lin Qi, an ordinary Chinese, feels that he may not have the ability to organize well, but relying on the business network, he gives priority to cooperation with Chinese capital, and the selection of corporate employees also gives priority to Chinese.

In modern society, it is difficult for the proletariat to unite, but the bourgeoisie is better united when it is of the same race and interests.
