Chapter 1,797: That’s Not How You Make Money!

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. Did he issue this order?

Abby Cohen rolled his eyes.

Lin Feng carefully read the document, suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead. Indeed, because he became the chairman of the "Shenlong Automobile" company, he felt the demand for steel and minerals in the automobile industry, so he followed Abby Cohen's advice and issued a long-term global energy exploration plan. However, this plan is long-term and is directly under the charge of Abby Cohen. Over time, Lin Feng gradually forgot about it. At this moment, Abby Cohen mentioned it, and Lin Feng just remembered it.

"I say, Mr., the richest man with assets of 100 billion, if you are so forgetful, your assets will be swallowed up by others." Abby Cohen said jokingly.

Lin Feng was slightly embarrassed, but then laughed.

"That's why I set up a private property consultant and specially invited you, Abby Cohen!" Lin Feng said with a chuckle.

Abby Cohen rolled his eyes. Although the world's super-rich also have their own private property consultants, at least these rich people are very clear about how much assets they own. But Lin Feng is so confused.

Of course, this is not Lin Feng's fault. After all, Lin Feng's current assets are far more than any rich man in the world, and his personal strength is comparable to some weaker consortiums. And those consortiums also have exclusive teams like them to manage their assets, otherwise the consortiums will not know how many assets they have.

After the joke, Lin Feng carefully opened the global mineral data report. There was no mineral distribution map on the first page, but a preface that briefly wrote about the technology used in exploration, the machinery and equipment used, and the manpower and material resources consumed.

Looking at the manpower and material resources of this global mineral survey, Lin Feng took a breath. This, the number is quite scary. This report survey data, which lasted for one year, three months and eighteen days, mobilized more than 2 million people and spent more than 340 million US dollars.

This cost is too much. 340 million US dollars, this is enough to make any company in the world feel painful. Of course, with Lin Feng's current financial resources, it is still affordable.

"By the way, how much assets do I have?" Lin Feng asked subconsciously. Although Hurun and Forbes' lowest asset assessment of his assets is more than 150 billion US dollars, most of them are stocks, real estate and so on. Lin Feng still feels very painful to take out 340 million US dollars suddenly.

"Boss, according to our calculations, your net worth is more than 150 billion US dollars just based on the market value of real estate and listed company stocks, and you currently have more than 30 billion US dollars in cash..." Abby Cohen called up a data display.

"Wait, my real estate and listed company stock market value are so valuable? 150 billion? And how come I still have 30 billion US dollars in cash?" Lin Feng was surprised.

Calculated this way, it's too rich, isn't it?

"Boss, the market value of companies such as 'Second World', 'GLE', 'Baidu-Yahoo', 'Second Bank', 'Starting Point Fast Food Restaurant', 'Second Game', and 'Second Real Estate' is 120 billion US dollars in total. As for real estate, your 'Tottenham Hotspur' and 'Houston Rockets' have been rising steadily due to their success. In addition, the Saferradura Island in Spain that you bought has also increased in value due to your stars' frequent vacations. In addition, the large amount of land you bought in Chu City and Yuhang Town is worth at least 30 billion US dollars in total. Therefore, 150 billion US dollars is the most conservative estimate!" Abby Cohen analyzed carefully.

Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this. He actually had so much money, although 150 billion US dollars didn't sound like a lot. But you have to know that a fried dough stick is only 0.5 yuan, and a cup of soy milk is only 1 yuan. With this calculation, this 150 billion US dollars is really terrifying. To be less ambitious, Lin Feng does nothing now. He buys two cups of soy milk every day, drinks one cup, and pours one cup. This can at least feed Lin Feng for 1,000 years.

Even if he is a little corrupt and eats shark fin and sea cucumber every day, it will take at least 300 years to eat through $150 billion.

"As for why you still have $30 billion, it's all thanks to that villain Soros." Abby Cohen was a little indignant, but there was a hint of admiration in his indignation.

What? What does it have to do with Soros? —— Lin Feng was slightly stunned.

"Originally, due to various investments, you only had about $7 billion in cash..." Abby Cohen explained slowly, but was soon interrupted by Lin Feng.

"Wait, I earned $9.5 billion from the US government and won $30 billion from Japan, and only $7 billion is left?" Lin Feng shouted. Although Lin Feng didn't have much idea in his mind, this nearly $40 billion in cash was spent too quickly.

"You established the 'Shenlong Racing Team' with your own funds, and you sponsored the Chinese in Indonesia with your own funds, and you allocated nearly $10 billion to buy an aircraft carrier. There is also a $30 billion bet from Japan, of which $10 billion is gold, and $5 billion is mortgaged on real estate, so there is $7 billion left, which is pretty good!" Abby Cohen gave him a prodigal look that said you spend money faster than you make it. Especially for Lin Feng buying an aircraft carrier, Abby Cohen felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

Although you have money, why do you buy an aircraft carrier? Why? If it's just for fun, you can buy a scrapped aircraft carrier, which won't cost much, at most tens of millions of dollars, and there are many scrapped aircraft carriers in the world. But you have to build an aircraft carrier fleet, and you also need frigates. You say, isn't this uncomfortable! Not to mention whether governments will allow such armed forces to exist, the annual maintenance fee alone is not small!

Lin Feng was speechless. Indeed, this, this is really a bit too fast for me to spend money. But aircraft carriers, that is a must. Because this is related to many, many plans of Lin Feng. And it is also related to the dignity of a Chinese. Damn it, every time Lin Feng thinks of the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries encroaching on the oil of the Nansha Islands, he hates it in his heart. Why do these small countries dare to do this? Isn't it because they bully China for not having an aircraft carrier!

Indeed, China has no aircraft carrier, but I can have one! Damn, wait for Elise to help me get an aircraft carrier, and see how I will deal with these small countries.

Abby Cohen shook his head. She didn't quite understand Lin Feng's national complex. With the rise of the Internet, we have gradually entered the era of the big earth. What nation, country can actually be put aside. In the face of absolute interests, there is really no such thing as a country or nation. As Lin Feng, he deals with people from all countries every day. If Lin Feng is so obsessed with national complex, it is not good.

However, Abby Cohen did not persuade Lin Feng about this matter. Because Lin Feng would not listen even if she said it, not to mention that Abby Cohen believes that for now, Lin Feng's national complex is also good for his career development. Although Lin Feng is currently the richest man in the world and is rich enough to rival a country, most of his assets are still in China. In this magical country. Before Lin Feng has the absolute ability to protect his assets, nationalism is good.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. In short, what I can say is that you are lucky to be able to dig Soros and trust him completely!" Abby Cohen sighed.

After Lin Feng's reckless spending of money, according to Abby Cohen's prediction, Lin Feng would have to tighten his purse for at most half a year. But Soros's appearance changed this situation. He seized the opportunity created by Lin Feng to hit "GM13" and made a lot of money. Then, he took advantage of the opportunity of Lin Feng's shocking acquisition of Schumacher and Ross Brown to make a lot of money in the Japanese stock market again.

At the same time, he hoarded a large amount of lira (Italian currency) and made a lot of money in the Italian government's anti-gang operation. It can be said that with these consecutive moves, under Soros's vision, Lin Feng's funds, and the mutual trust between the two, Soros made 23 billion US dollars for Lin Feng in just over a month, making a lot of money for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sighed slightly. It seems that it is right to not use people who are suspicious, and to use people without doubt. Otherwise, how could Soros work so hard for himself to make money? If he wants to make more than 20 billion US dollars, he will die a lot of brain cells if he fights for his life. Now all you need to do is trust Soros a little more, and then you can sit comfortably in the office and collect money.

Life is wonderful! ——Lin Feng drank a cup of coffee, looking very comfortable.

Abby Cohen shook his head.

"Lin Feng, I advise you to be careful of Soros!" Abby Cohen suddenly reminded.

"What?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Abby Cohen is one of the people Lin Feng trusts the most, and she is in charge of all his assets. Her words are definitely not aimless. But at present, I am very happy to cooperate with Soros. What is the purpose of asking me to be careful of Soros?

"Lin, Soros is a financial crocodile, a big crocodile that can never be full. It is certainly right for you to trust him like this, and you can get his loyalty and reap extremely rich rewards. But you have to understand that he is a madman. What he cares about is not money, but the feeling of calling the wind and rain in the financial field, and this feeling is undoubtedly very life-threatening! If you don't restrain him, he will make a big mess sooner or later." Abby Cohen looked worried.

The longer he spent with Soros, the more Abby Cohen understood how terrible Soros was. In Abby Cohen's view, Soros was almost a financial genius and madman who could not fail. The reason why he fled to Hong Kong during the Asian financial crisis was that he underestimated the mainland government's funding for Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong government was desperate, so Soros finally left with hatred.

Moreover, although the Hong Kong government's defeat of Soros has become a good story. But in fact, no one knows how many people in Hong Kong jumped off buildings because of Soros, and how many companies went bankrupt because of Soros.

But now it is different. Soros relies on Lin Feng, a super backer who is in the business world. He has connections and resources, and Soros's only shortcoming has been filled to the greatest extent. It can be said that if Soros could have Lin Feng's current wealth at that time, the Hong Kong stock market would be doomed!

And this is exactly what Abby Cohen is worried about. With the help of Lin Feng, Soros will be invincible in the financial world. But in this world, it is not finance that really speaks, but the government. If Soros is too arrogant and makes enemies everywhere, he may eventually harm Lin Feng.

Just like this time, Soros took advantage of the Italian government's crackdown on gangs and hoarded a large amount of lira to seek personal gain, which can be said to have put the Italian government in a very passive position. If it weren't for the agreement between Lin Feng and Berlusconi, and Soros's tactics were quite clever, I'm afraid Lin Feng would not be able to return to China this time.

And this time Lin Feng is back, so what about next time? Besides, Abby Cohen felt that Soros seemed to be brewing a huge plan. She didn't know about this plan, but given Soros's character, this plan must be very huge. Abby Cohen was worried, what if he finally angered the country and took action against Lin Feng?

"Haha, Abby, don't worry. I believe Soros still has a sense of propriety." Lin Feng was naturally aware of Soros's plan. He also understood that if it really succeeded, he would probably be in a lot of trouble. But this plan was too attractive to Lin Feng. Once successful, he would undoubtedly become the richest man in the history of this planet, and at the same time he would become the world's largest creditor. Countries like the United States and Japan would all be his debtors.

Whenever he thought of this scene, Lin Feng felt refreshed. Of course, the danger was also great. However, there were still a few years left. In these few years, he would make money and develop his own power. When his power was large enough, so large that no country dared to act rashly, he would not be afraid.

There were still four years left. Was that enough time? To be honest, Lin Feng didn't think it was enough. But it is precisely because of this that these four years have given Lin Feng unlimited motivation. It has prevented Lin Feng from being complacent because he has become the world's richest man, and from then on he would enjoy the fruits of his labor without making any progress.

Seeing that Lin Feng believed in Soros so much, Abby Cohen stopped talking. After all, she was just a consultant, providing advice, and it was Lin Feng who made the decision.

"Boss, according to my estimate, apart from these real estate, stocks and cash, the potential market value of your remaining unlisted companies is worth at least $100 billion. In other words, conservatively estimated, your personal assets are at least $250 billion!" Abby Cohen said a figure that shocked Lin Feng even more.

"Also, this does not include the assets of the 'Wolf Fang Security Company'. If calculated, it would probably be more." Abby Cohen shook her head.

The assets of the "Wolf Fang Security Company" were something she could not calculate at all. Because Lin Feng never gave her any information about "Langya Security Company", but from the information about "Langya Security Company" that can be obtained on the market, in China, "Langya Security Company" has more than 1.2 million security personnel, working in major, medium and small cities across the country. Almost wherever there are security guards, there are security guards from "Langya Security Company".

As for foreign countries, Abby Cohen learned about it roughly through his personal relationship. "Langya Mercenary Group" is the external title of "Langya Security Company". Its current reputation is slightly lower than those old mercenary groups, such as "Blackwater" and other companies, because it has not completed any heavyweight tasks. However, since it focuses its main energy on Africa, it has a large number of "Langya Mercenary Group" assets in South Africa.

In this way, the total market value of "Langya Security Company" is simply inestimable. Abby Cohen can only say a lot, a lot.

"Alas, thinking of the vastness of the world, I am alone and shed tears!" Lin Feng sighed.

How can making money be so easy! ——Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, with the air of a master who has no rivals in the world.

Pretending, this is definitely pretending! ——Abby Cohen can only use a word he learned after coming to China to describe Lin Feng at this moment. But it is true that Lin Feng's ability in the business world is really unmatched. Sometimes, Abby Cohen wants to cut open Lin Feng's brain to see what is inside.

"Okay, boss, let's read the report! After you finish reading, I still need your decision!" Abby Cohen said.

Lin Feng nodded, put aside these emotions, and carefully read the global mineral report that cost him $340 million.

In this report, it is divided according to five continents. After the five continents, it is divided according to the mineral reserves, and then it is artificially marked with asterisks, representing the difficulty of getting started.

In Asia, China is naturally the country with the richest minerals, but regarding China's minerals, it is marked with a big five-star. It represents the most difficult to get!

Then there is the small country of Cambodia, but its mineral resources are extremely rich. According to this report, Cambodia is rich in gold, phosphate, gemstones and oil, and it ranks among the best in Asia. As for iron and coal, there are very few. As for the difficulty level, it is marked as 3 stars, medium difficulty.

Then there are Indonesia, Uzbekistan and other countries. This report lists the proven mineral resources in detail, and is also rich in various mining plans and possible difficulties.

Then Europe, Africa, North America and South America are all noted in detail. Of course, there is no information about Antarctica. As for Oceania, it is marked as being explored.

Worth it! Very worth it! The $340 million is worth it! It can be said that if Lin Feng takes this report to the market, it is worth at least $1 billion, no, at least $2 billion. With this report, it is entirely possible to mine ores worth at least $20 billion or even $40 billion, of course, or even more.

Of course, you also need to be able to take the local government alive.

"Boss, now all I need you to do is to prepare which mineral to use as a breakthrough point! Which mineral should we mine first!" Abby Cohen asked.

(I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Happy family and good health!)
