Chapter 596: $400 million

"Can rare earths be used as motors?" Ma Yong's eyes are as big as a cow's egg, and rare earths have some uses in the military, which Ma Yong knows, but he really doesn't know that rare earths can be used to make zuΓ² motors.

"Motors are divided into permanent magnet motors and excitation motors, Director Ma, you should always know, right?"

Ma Yong nodded, of course he knew that when he just worked a few years ago, a well was drilled in his unit, and the motor used to pump water was a three-phase excitation motor, and he also heard the master of the motor repair say that the excitation motor is not as good as the permanent magnet motor, but he really didn't know that rare earth could be used to make a motor.

Seeing Ma Yong nodding, Lin Zheng then explained: "Rare earth is a key material for making permanent magnet materials. ”

I see! Ma Yong's heart suddenly dawned, but he was still a little strange in his heart: "The price of domestic rare earths is not expensive, you can buy it directly, there is no need to directly contract a rare earth mine, right?" ”

Lin Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Ma Yong's words are certainly not unreasonable, with the current price of rare earths in China, it is indeed more cost-effective to buy rare earths, but Lin Zheng still has some careful thoughts of his own, although he does not have much ideal for the country and the people, but some things about rare earths in later generations have also been heard, although he is not arrogant enough to plan to use the mantis arm as a car to protect the domestic rare earth resources or something, but it is always okay to do his best to retain some strategic resources.

It's just that he can't say this to Ma Yong, is it possible to directly tell him that two years later, the situation of domestic rare earth resources being stolen and sold cheaply is becoming more and more serious, and when the country realizes the severity of this problem more than 10 years later, domestic countermeasures rare earth resources have been sold? He doesn't say whether people will believe his words. What if you believe? For many local governments, rare earth resources are already an important source of export earnings, and these stolen rare earth resources are already carried out with the support of local governments. Even if the state realizes the severity of this problem more than 10 years later, there is no way to cure it. It is so difficult to do this with the power of the country, Lin Zheng does not think that he can be more awesome than the country.

Fortunately, when he was pondering this matter, he began to think about how to deal with it, and in the face of Ma Yong's question, Lin Zheng gave an irrefutable reason: "I think that in a few years, the international rare earth price will usher in a period of rapid rise, so I plan to take advantage of the current rare earth price is not expensive to give myself some first." ”

This reason is so powerful that even Ma Yong can't say anything. People think that the price of rare earths will rise in a few years, so what's wrong with taking advantage of the current rare earths? Compared with buying rare earth stock, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to contract a rare earth mine. After hesitating for a moment, Ma Yong finally nodded: "That's it, I can help you ask." ”

This is already a very clear answer, and Lin Zheng smiled happily: "The rest of the things are on me." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The auction invites some of the richest people in the United States. Even if let. Michelle. Yael is a UNESCO Charity Ambassador. But in the face of these rich people, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and stood at the door with his wife waiting for the arrival of the rich people.

Seeing Lin Zheng and Lang Xuan getting out of the car, the people next to them were making . Michelle. Ya'er whispered something in her ear, the brother's eyes suddenly lit up, and he and his wife walked forward quickly, and gave Lin Zheng a warm hug: "Mr. Lin, welcome to you." Your presence has brightened tonight's auction, and your wife is so beautiful. ”

Although I have known for a long time that the boss of ICQ is a diamond king who is not yet married. But let. Michelle. Ya'er never thought that Lin Zheng would be so young anyway...... Many rich people in the United States who are rich but not married are often over the age of thirty-four, and for these rich people who hold a lot of wealth in their hands, there is no shortage of women around them, so why bother to find a woman to share their ordinary wealth? But like Lin Zheng, a young rich man, he really hasn't seen it.

"You're so polite, I've not done enough compared to your great character." Slapped hard Jean. Michelle. Ya'er's back, Lin Zheng said politely.

His own efforts in philanthropy over the years are exactly what makes him. Michelle. Ya'er is the most proud, Lin Zheng's compliment can be said to be scratching the itchy flesh in his heart, listening to Lin Zheng say this, let. Michelle. Ya'er's face had already turned into a flower, but the whole person said politely: "No, no, Mr. Lin, you are too polite, in fact, I think we can do better." ”

"Not everyone is qualified to be awarded the title of Charity Ambassador by UNESCO," Lin Zheng lowered his voice with a smile, "Mr. Ya'er, can you reveal a little bit in advance, if there are any good things tonight, I should prepare in advance." ”

Charity auctions of this nature generally do not announce the auction items in advance, and there is no way to announce the auction items, because many of the auction items themselves are donated by the rich people who came to participate in the auction, and they are likely to be delivered a few days before the auction starts.

For a request like Lin Zheng's, let's. Michelle. Ya'er was already surprised, and asked with a smile, "Oh? I don't know what you are interested in, Mr. Lin? ”

"I want to give my wife a necklace." Turning his head to look at Lang Xuan, who was greeting Mrs. Ya'er, Lin Zheng said.

"Your lady is so happy," Jean. Michelle. Ya'er complimented, then lowered her voice and whispered to Lin Zheng: "What a coincidence, there will be a diamond necklace donated by Mrs. Marshall in a while, I have seen it, it is very beautiful, and it must be very suitable for your wife." ”

"Thank you......"

The two nodded tacitly, as for the few people who followed behind Lin Zheng? Let. Michelle. Ya'er didn't even ask, on this occasion, which rich man doesn't bring a few attachΓ©s?

……………………

After some greetings, the waiter led him into the hall, and Lin Zheng felt that he was indeed a little out of touch with society, and most of the people inside did not know him.

Fortunately, although most of them don't know each other, there are a few who know them, such as the happy Mr. Soros who was chatting with people in the corner, when he saw Lin Zheng and Lang Xuan coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted the people around him and walked towards Lin Zheng quickly, and before the people arrived, a really hearty laughter came: "Lin, it's so nice to see you, just now I was still discussing with Bill when you will be able to arrive, oh, your wife is so beautiful, you know, I'm a little jealous of you......"

"Hello, Mr. Soros." Lin Zheng took Lang Xuan to greet him with a smile, he was still counting on this old man to make a sum of money for himself next year, but he had to say hello.

Who is this guy? Some slightly "poorer" billionaires watched the famous Mr. Soros take the initiative to greet this young man after he appeared?

Facts have proved that Lin Zheng's influence in the United States is far greater than he imagined, and in the face of these lonely and unheard of guys, the people on the side went up and mocked: "Look at your rare and strange appearance, even the boss of ICQ doesn't know?" ”

"This is the boss of ICQ?" The people around suddenly exclaimed!

Speaking of Lin Zheng, they may not know, but when it comes to ICQ, the hottest instant chat tool in the United States, there is no one present who does not know, as the registered users of ICQ are gradually approaching the 50 million mark, relevant institutions have given the latest market value estimate of ICQ: 200 million US dollars!

As long as Lin Zheng is willing to list ICQ, the market value of this company is at least $2!

For a while, the eyes of all the rich people looked at Lin Zheng with envy and jealousy: Nima, why am I not a shareholder of ICQ?

"Damn, why hasn't he listed ICQ yet?" There was a fat man with envious eyes that were a little red and couldn't help complaining, he was so uncomfortable in his heart, if Lin Zheng listed ICQ and operated it himself, why couldn't he make millions of dollars?

"Because people are not short of money," the one who had just started to speak looked at the fat man with a sneer, "ICQ is just an industry under Mr. Lin's group, since there is no shortage of money, why did he list ICQ so early?" Wouldn't it be better to wait until the right time in the future to go public? ”

The more Lin Zheng can earn in the evening market, everyone is a person who rolls in the financial circle all day long, who doesn't know this truth, for a while, there are more people who are envious, jealous and hateful in their eyes when they look at Lin Zheng.

The person who spoke was obviously not an ordinary well-informed, looked at Lin Zheng, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Do you know, since ICQ has been in contact with major mobile phone manufacturers, I heard that AOL is planning to acquire ICQ." ”

"AOL?"

"This guy is willing to sell?"

"That's right, it's AOL, I heard that AOL plans to give 400 million US dollars!" The one who spoke raised four fingers, and his face was also envious, jealous and hateful, "Four hundred million dollars, who dares to guarantee that he won't sell it?" ”

$400 million?!

This figure makes the breath of the rich people around them a lot faster: for these people, $400 million is almost all their worth, and how many of them are not even worth this level, and now, a company in the hands of this bastard can buy $400 million?

Envy, jealousy, why didn't this good thing fall on my head?

Lin Zheng didn't have time to care about the $400 million, and all his attention was on the person in front of him...... AOL did send an intention to acquire him, but for the conditions offered by AOL, Lin Zheng threw it directly into the trash without looking at it: $400 million? Are you laughing at me?

In the original time and space, how much did AOL spend on acquiring ICQ, which only has 10 million users? Now I have nearly 50 million users, and I also cooperate with several mobile phone companies, and the influence is much greater than the original ICQ, and you only opened 400 million US dollars?
