Chapter 787

Under the arrangement of Wang Meng and others, Kevin Mitnick secretly left Shanghai and went to the overseas African headquarters of South Africa's "wolf tooth" security company. However, before leaving, Kevin Mitnick repeatedly begged Lin Feng to launch a commercial satellite, and attached the cost of launching a satellite to Lin Feng.

For this request of Kevin Mitnick, Lin Feng is a little sad, did not expect that Kevin Mitnick is so persistent. After Kevin Mitnick left, Lin Feng called up the international standard quotations about commercial satellites collected by Kevin Mitnick from the Internet.

Generally speaking, according to the internationally accepted algorithm, the average cost of satellite manufacturing is about 120 million US dollars for each satellite launched; The cost of rocket is about 25% of the cost of satellite, about 30 million US dollars; The launch cost is also 25% of the total cost of satellite to ground, which is 30 million US dollars; The insurance premium is about 20% of the first three items, 36 million US dollars, totaling about 216 million US dollars. However, the proportion of revenue between satellite manufacturing, launching and application is about 2 ∶ 1 ∶ 7.

At present, the only countries that can launch satellites are the United States, Japan, China, Australia, Russia and euroair (not Britain or France, they belong to the European Union). However, China has not yet opened its commercial satellite launch rights. According to the proposal left by Kevin Mitnick, the United States and Russia are mainly recommended, and the technology and cost of these two countries are relatively affordable. In particular, Russia's economy is not good. To help launch satellites, not only the price is cheaper than that of the United States, but also the quality is more guaranteed. After all, it was the first country to launch a satellite successfully (the former Soviet Union).

"Boss, does our company really buy a satellite?" Wu Zhaopu also read Kevin Mitnick's proposal and was quite surprised by it. At this stage, launching a man-made satellite is of little use to the "second world". Of course, it will be useful in the future. With the development of world communication technology and the expansion of "second world" business, having a single satellite of its own can provide absolute guarantee in terms of communication quality and safety. At the same time, the "parallel shared online mode" adopted by "second world" can also help to more express data transmission between continents.

However, at present, the "second world" does not need to launch a satellite, and it does not have hundreds of millions of dollars to launch a satellite. Although there are still 800 million US dollars of circulating funds in the "second world" account, there are many projects in the "second world" that need funds. Moreover, it is very dangerous for a large multinational company to have only 800 million US dollars of circulating funds. In particular, there are departments like "AMD" and "ATI", which need a lot of circulating funds. Otherwise, once something happens and there is no working capital to deal with, the company will be in danger!

The second world needs its own satellite, but not now!

As for Wu Zhaopu's idea, Lin Feng is naturally clear. However, the "second world" does not need it at present, which does not mean that it does not need it. His company, as Kevin Mitnick said, is in great need. For their own TV stations, with a satellite, they will be able to master more TV media resources and broadcast their programs around the world through the satellite. For its own "phantom technology", with a satellite, it can fully undertake the communication business market of some developing countries in the third world, especially some poor countries in Africa, many of whose communication markets are blank. Lin Feng can "grab" it. Although it has little profit, it can get involved in other industries of these developing countries. Especially those small African countries, which are extremely poor due to years of war.

Of course, for Kevin Mitnick himself, having an exclusive satellite for his use will be a milestone for his hacking career, through which he can gain more control over the Internet.

What's more, for the "wolf tooth" security company, if it owns a satellite, it will have an exclusive encrypted communication channel, and it will have more say and life support rights in Africa, a continent with constant wars.

At the same time, Lin Feng also thought that after having his own satellite, he could quit "Baidu earth". You know, when Google launched "Google Earth" in 2005, it caused quite a stir“ With the emergence of Google Earth, all Internet users can go around the world without leaving home. When you go up to space, when you go down to your neighbors, you can enter your destination and zoom in directly. Whether it's a school, a restaurant or a place of interest, you can instantly appear in front of you. And more importantly, it satisfies the innate desire of human beings to pry into privacy.

If its own "Baidu" can take the lead in launching "Baidu earth", it will play a decisive role in "Baidu"'s global foothold. Moreover, this "Baidu earth" can also bring "Baidu" huge profits. Lin Feng remembers that after the launch of Google Earth was highly praised, its charging mode also brought amazing profits to Google.

The video movie generation module is 200 US golden years (the generated video format is wmv); High precision printing module 200 US gold years (support 11 'x17' (inch) printing resolution); The GIS data import module is 200 U.S. gold years (the imported GIS data are merged in SHP and tab formats); GDT traffic measurement data 200 US gold years (add traffic measurement statistics function from GDT); NRb business center data 200 US gold years.

Thinking that these are going to be his own money making projects, and can bring hundreds of millions of dollars of income every year, Lin Feng instinctively swallowed his mouth.

"Mr. Wu, I'm going to buy a satellite, but it's not the company, it's me!" Lin Feng said firmly.

Wu Zhaopu was stunned and didn't know what to say about Lin Feng's decision. Now Lin Feng's personal liquidity exceeds that of most listed companies in the world. It's really fun to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a satellite. However, the rich people buy villas and yachts, and their boss is good enough to buy private satellites.

Cow, enough cow!

Later, Lin Feng found Wang Meng and discussed with him the use and precautions of purchasing a private satellite. For Lin Feng's plan to buy a private satellite and provide it to the "wolf tooth" security company, Wang Meng is only excited. Now, the "wolf tooth" security company has just entered South Africa, and its foothold is not stable. In Africa, it is a turbulent continent, and its life safety is seriously threatened. If there is a satellite in the sky at any time, the lives of the soldiers of the "wolf tooth" security company will be protected the most. Wang Meng once thought about the satellite, but the "Langya" security company was too poor. When it was founded, it was not for making money. Therefore, the money earned was not subsidized to Lin Feng's private security system, but was distributed to all security personnel. Therefore, we can only think about a satellite that costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Lin Feng, I thank you for those brothers!" Wang Meng heavily patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

"Brother Meng, thank you. I have half of the shares in this company, don't I? Besides, I'm very glad that we can protect our lives." Lin Feng said with a smile, then thought of Kevin Mitnick, this talent can not have any damage, "brother Meng, about Kevin's safety, I really entrust to you."

"Boss, don't worry. As long as he is in South Africa, there will be no problem with his safety. Our people will protect him 24 hours a day. " Wang Meng nodded heavily. On the issue of safety, he will never be careless.

Lin Feng nodded.

"By the way, let the people of the company pay attention to mineral resources when they are on a mission in Africa. If there are, no matter how far it is, whether it is open to traffic or not, let me know first." Lin Feng thought of Abby Cohen's words - the lifeblood of the world is in the hands of those consortia that hold a lot of energy, minerals and other real estate. If you want to set up a consortium, without these real estate, the consortium will be like a castle in the air.

Wang Meng answered. There are too many mineral resources in Africa. If you want to have them, you have to have the ability to develop them. Of course, this development is not only technical, but also military. There are a lot of mineral resources that have been developed, but they can't be transported. Wars are so frequent that there is no other way except to use a large number of troops. But for those big countries in the United States, sending thousands of troops just for one or two small mines, the profits are not enough for military expenditure. Therefore, there are a large number of small pen ore sources or hidden veins in the African continent. Only to the real strength of the people or countries to mining!

Now that Lin Feng said it, he ordered people to pay attention.

At this time, Abby Cohen finds Lin Feng.

"Lin, regarding the establishment of a consortium, we should first acquire a bank to hold shares, so as to resist financial risks. At the same time, we can also raise funds through banks to help the companies under the consortium allocate funds." Abby Cohen said.

Lin Feng nodded. This is the plan that Abby Cohen's investment team has been carrying out secretly.

"Now I've selected three banks, all of which can be acquired. Take a look." Abby Cohen puts the information collected in front of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looks around. The first bank recommended by Abby Cohen is Standard Chartered Bank, which is headquartered in London and has been in operation for more than 150 years. The real point is that the two largest shareholders of Standard Chartered are Chinese - Bao Yugang (14.5%) and Qiu deba (14.99%).

"Lin, Standard Chartered Bank is not only a veteran bank, but also has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. If you can buy this bank, it will be of great help to your consortium. In Hong Kong, you are no longer an outsider, but an oligarch who can influence Hong Kong's financial sector. " Abby Cohen said.

After hearing this, Lin Feng felt that it would be a wonderful thing if he could successfully acquire Standard Chartered Bank. However, Lin Feng continued to look down to see what the other two banks were.

The second bank Abby Cohen recommends is standard bank of South Africa. Different from Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Bank of South Africa is only 41 years old. Its business is mainly in Africa. However, compared with other banks, Standard Bank of South Africa is much less difficult to acquire. Moreover, the acquisition of Standard Bank of South Africa and its cooperation with the South African government will not only contribute to the development of forest wind industry, but also provide an opportunity for Langya security company to be based in South Africa.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng moved in his heart.

As for the third bank recommended by Abby Cohen, it is the National Bank of California, a private commercial bank from the United States. National Bank of California, the fourth largest bank in Los Angeles, has assets of about $5 billion. Compared with the banking sector, it is a very small bank. But the reason Abby Cohen recommends is that he owns some mineral and railway management rights in Brazil and Colombia. Although the shares are small, they can be used by Lin Feng. Moreover, the acquisition of an American bank is more convenient in terms of future financing.

"Lin, each of the three banks has its own advantages and disadvantages. The best is to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, followed by Standard Bank of South Africa and National Bank of California. Each of the three banks has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can think it over. " Abby Cohen analysis said.

Lin Feng looked at it carefully. Naturally, the most ideal is to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, which is an old British bank and has the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. This is very attractive. However, it may not be easy to buy Standard Chartered shares from the late "ship king" Bao Yugang and Singapore's richest man Qiu deba. But you can try it!

After thinking about it, Lin Feng has an idea.

"Abby, I'll talk to Bao Yugang's four daughters and see if I can buy their shares. Then I'll talk to Qiu deba again. At the same time, Abby, you also contact Standard Bank of South Africa to talk about financing. As for the National Bank of California, let's talk about it finally. " Lin Feng planned everything in a short time.

Abby Cohen nodded. If possible, it would be better to acquire two banks, Standard Chartered Bank and Standard Bank of South Africa. In this way, Lin Feng will really enter the financial center of the world and become a rule maker in the world financial game. It's not just the world's richest man who has no name now!

"Well, by the way, Lin and Bao Yugang have four daughters. Among them, the third daughter, Cissy Bao Peili, is in Shanghai. She is very low-key. I have been learning her whereabouts by accident while drinking tea with a friend. " Abby Cohen cautioned.

Since the death of Bao Yugang, the world ship king, all his private property has been owned by his four daughters. In his early years, the shipping business of Chuanwang family was managed by his eldest daughter Bao Peiqing and his son-in-law Su Haiwen in Hong Kong; His son-in-law Wu Guangzheng is the chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council; The youngest daughter Bao peihui's family controls more than $1 billion of family assets. Only this third daughter, Bao Peili, came to Shanghai alone. After purchasing more than 10 garden villas in the 1990s, she spent her days on rent and developed her real estate business on her own.

Lin Feng is now just through her to find out which daughter controls Bao Yugang's 14.5% stake in Standard Chartered Bank. However, according to Abby Cohen's analysis, according to Bao Yugang's impartial character, the other three daughters hold huge wealth. Only Bao Peili, the third daughter, is almost penniless, and 14.5% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are likely to be in her hands. If it's really in Bao Peili's hands, it's easy. Lin Feng doesn't have to go to Hong Kong to meet Bao Yugang's descendants. And in Shanghai, with Lin Feng's current position, there may be some places where Bao Peili needs help.

But now they don't know each other, and there's no middleman to introduce them. It's a bit troublesome to make friends. Although I'm the richest man in the world, it's not necessarily a good thing for a strong woman who abandons her rich status and works alone.

In hesitation, Abby Cohen suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, she has a daughter now. Her name is not very good, but I heard she is a fan of your girlfriend Avril. Maybe you can use it. " Abby Cohen said.

At the beginning, the reason why Abby Cohen talked about Bao Peili with her friend was that she accidentally talked about Lin Feng's girlfriend Avril. As a result, Abby Cohen's friends said that Bao Peili's daughter was also a fan of Avril. When Avril held a concert in Shanghai last time, because there were too many fans, it was hard to get a vote. Bao Peili, who has received strict family education since childhood, has watched the tickets sell out. Although there are scalpers selling tickets at high prices, Bao Peili's daughter has no money to buy them. Moreover, Bao Peili will not allow her daughter to buy a concert ticket at several times the price, because the price performance ratio is too low. Finally, Bao Peili's daughter can only regret to miss Avril's concert in Shanghai.

Lin Feng heard a Leng, did not expect that this and Avril related. This punk little princess, but several times to help themselves solve business problems. However, Lin Feng has to plan how to operate in the middle.

But first, get Avril.

"Hi, Avril, what are you doing?" Lin Feng immediately called in the past.

"Hum, hum, you still know how to care about me. I thought you forgot me, and kiss me with your friends all day long!" When Avril heard Lin Feng's phone call, she was very happy at first, then she began to scold Lin Feng.

During this period of time, Lin Feng was busy with virtual life, plus the previous acquisition of players in Tottenham Hotspur, and sometimes he didn't contact Avril for several days. It made Avril grumble. No, this time it's three days without contact. Today, I received a call from Lin Feng. It's 1:00 p.m. (US time). It's obvious that Lin Feng doesn't care about her. It should be us daytime time to call her, not Shanghai daytime time. Therefore, the punk princess's temper broke out completely.

"Are you still my boyfriend? It's been a long time since you called me. Well, what's the difference between having a boyfriend and not having one now. And you throw your broken company at me, and you don't care. I'm so busy here, and I don't have a penny's salary. I work for you for nothing. You have to share the money I earn from my records. You are too smart! I'm going to the federal court to sue you. I'm going to sue you for cheating! Deceived my pure heart and body, also deceived me to do white work for you, to make money for you, also for you... "Avril scolded endlessly, venting the recent depression on Lin Feng. Moreover, her loud voice and careless personality made Lin Feng blush.

"Puchi", one side of Abby Cohen through Avril's big voice, listen to a real, originally want to hold back, lest Lin Feng embarrassed, but Avril is too funny, what words dare to say, this let her really can't help. Especially the embarrassed expression of Lin Feng, and associate with the identity of Lin Feng now, all this is too much! In Lin Feng's current status, I'm afraid that the only one who dares to criticize Lin Feng in this way is Avril.

It's a drop in the bucket—— Abby Cohen sighs.

Lin Feng was embarrassed to hear Abby Cohen's laughter. Frowning, enduring Avril's complaint, she glanced at the smirking Abby Cohen and glared at him.

Abby Cohen was more than happy. But she also knew that she would stay here again. I'm afraid Lin Feng would be angry. At that time, I'm afraid there will be many more troubles.

"Well, Lin, it seems that my daughter is going to finish school. I'll pick her up." Abby Cohen looked at his watch and went out at once.

Lin Feng is speechless. This excuse is too bad. It's 2 p.m. now. Abby Cohen's daughter is in class. But it's good to leave, otherwise Avril's voice will be scolded, and all her embarrassing things will be known. Fortunately, Avril hasn't mentioned "singing" at night, otherwise she would be really embarrassed.

But at this time, how to deal with the voluble, complaining Avril is a troublesome thing.

"Avril, I miss you so much. Come to Shanghai!" Lin Feng thought for a moment, come to the point, cut off water, directly interrupt Avril's complaint.

"Do you really miss me?" Avril a Leng, hear this, in the heart of a joy.

"Of course, I miss you. How could I call you now. It's 1 a.m. us time now. By the way, Avril, why haven't you slept at 1 a.m.! " Lin Feng asked.

"Well, you know how to care. Well, since you think about Miss Ben so much and are sincere, Miss Ben will ~ ~ "Avril raised her voice and threw a basin of cold water on Lin Feng's head in the expectation of Lin Feng," no! "

Lin Feng is speechless.

"Hum, ask me why I don't come. Do you think Miss Ben is a third company? Come as soon as you want me to and leave as soon as you want me to. Hum, it's not so easy. According to your routine, there must be something for me to help. Hum, I'm not that stupid. If you want me to come, you can pick me up in person, and say love me out loud in public Finish saying, Avril "pa" hang up the phone.

Hearing the blind voice from the other end of the phone, Lin Feng was completely speechless（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
