Chapter 29 The So-Called Expert

In the early days, the value of rare earths had not been discovered by people. At this time, all kinds of rare earth elements are just associated ores of iron ore, and they are of no great use. read latest chapter

Later, after rare earth elements were widely used in military production, their value increased hundreds of times and thousands of times. Domestic research on rare earth mining, production, and processing is also constantly developing. For example, Baotou, which is rich in rare earth resources, There is the most advanced rare earth research institute in China.

It is said that when the domestic government formulates some guidelines and policies on rare earths, it always has to refer to the opinions of experts in their institutes.

Yurong is a senior expert in the research institute, and also an important member of a rare earth policy research institute under the State Council. She proposed and drafted many policies before.

It's just that she was completely unaware of the sudden closure and rectification of rare earth production enterprises by the central government this time, and no one mentioned it to her, which made her feel a little surprised.

Even the previously hyped problem of rare earth production polluting the environment is nothing more than an excuse in her view. The current rare earth production is basically carried out by several state-run mines. If there is pollution, there must be some, but absolutely It's impossible to think it's as serious as the media mentioned above.

This time, there was something weird in it, which made Yurong feel a little uneasy.

The research institute is not a public institution, but integrated with the local steel plant. This is also an arrangement for the effective use of resources. With the promotion of each other, many internationally advanced technological achievements have been obtained. It belongs to the domestic first-class research institute, and many technologies are also innovative in the world.

As a senior expert and deputy director of the institute, Yu Rong has a very different status.

It was during her tenure that she facilitated the technology transfer between the Rare Earth Research Institute and Japan's Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. Many rare earth patented technologies have flowed to Japan. In fact, the level of the Rare Earth Research Institute is not low. As a country with a large number of rare earth resources, China has many patented technologies and products that Japan did not have. , a large number of cutting-edge results have been obtained and applied in production. For example, on the Long March series of launch vehicles, key materials and components produced by the Rare Earth Research Institute are used in many places.

The Japanese have a long history of ambitions for rare earths. In fact, their ambitions are not limited to this. They are very interested in Chinese resources, minerals, culture and technology.

During the war of aggression against China. The Japanese carried out exploration and resource plundering in Inner Mongolia. And supported a large number of Dimanchu and Mongolian aristocrats as agents in the local area. To facilitate the control of Inner Mongolia.

The previous generation of Yurong.

It is a Mongolian prince supported by the Japanese. So when the Japanese approached her. Basically, an agreement was reached without much effort. The Japanese paid for it. Yu Rong handed them a lot of technical information. At the same time, the Japanese are also very interested in China's rare earth policy. And Yurong is a member of the rare earth policy research group. Obviously, it is possible to get a lot of inside information.

this time. The central government did not consult with members of the Rare Earth Policy Research Group. No greeting either. Suddenly launched an action to shut down rare earth production enterprises. Make them feel a little off guard. Not quite sure what happened.

Although the pollution issue has been heated up before. But Yurong felt that this was just a smoke bomb. Certainly not the direct purpose of the central government's actions. So many years. She still has this vision.

The Japanese are in a hurry. Yan Qijun from Mitsubishi Materials asked someone to contact her. Let her create momentum through public opinion among the people. Test the real intention of the central government.

"This kind of thing is obviously not advisable. Jumping out now. Isn't it obviously going against the top?" Yurong was very opposed to this. It's not easy for her to survive to her current status. Although it is said that many benefits have been obtained from the Japanese. But let her take on this terrible relationship. Still refused.

"You can manipulate secretly—our rewards are generous—" Yanqi Jundi suggested to her.

Yurong also had no way to shirk it, after all, she had obtained too much similar remuneration from Yan Qijun before, and it was impossible to get off the ship at this time, so she could only consider how to operate this matter more safely?

Within two days, Fan Wubing received a call from Boss Zhu asking him to read the major newspapers in recent days. Those articles on rare earths.

"Oh. You need to read that too? I know what they're going to say even with my eyes closed—" Fan Wubing said indifferently, "there are two voices now. One is to firmly support the central government's decision without technical skills , resolutely control the pollution problems existing in rare earth production, and give the people a clear water and blue sky. The other is to argue skillfully from the technical level how much loss the country will bring to the country by shutting down rare earth production enterprises, and affect the local economic development. It may even cause inexplicable surprise to people from allied countries because of the stoppage of exports, but is that so?"

"It seems that you are confident?!" Boss Zhu couldn't help but praise.

Fan Wubing thought to himself, what is this, but he has seen a lot of similar things.

If many years pass, when the exchanges at home and abroad become more in-depth, the so-called experts will become more active, such as the financial system, such as the real estate market, such as the stock market and futures market, for example, any one that can generate high In the profit industry, there will be many interested parties, and a series of experts will emerge. While they keep saying that they have nothing to do with the interest class they protect, they will take a lot of money from the opponent's hands without mercy. representation fees.

The so-called red mouth and white teeth are justified, and it is only ordinary people who are confused. They gradually fall into the disputes among experts and become victims of the conflict of interests.

There used to be a saying during the Cultural Revolution that the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are. Although this may sound a bit unkind, it can also reflect from one aspect that today's big frauds cannot deceive people without a high degree of education and high standards.

"Is there any movement in the world?" Fan Wubing is concerned about this. If there is an interactive situation at home and abroad, it means that the chain of interests between the industry and foreign capital has been combined, and he can handle it himself. When it comes to rare earth issues, it will be more troublesome.

"The government hasn't made any big moves yet, but public opinion has already started to clamor, saying that the Chinese government's shutdown and rectification of rare earth production enterprises will damage their national interests." Boss Zhu replied.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "I knew they would say that a long time ago. Nowadays, those who create public opinion in China are only their spokespersons. If you follow the vines, you can find out many moths who betray the interests of the country. The question is whether you have the determination. gone."

"If you want to investigate, people from the security department can do it, but do you think it's necessary?" Boss Zhu now attaches great importance to Fan Wubing's opinion, and everything is within his expectations.

Fan Wubing sighed, "It's so necessary! I'm just afraid that they won't jump out. Grabbing a batch at this time can ensure that the country's interests will be less lost, especially in those research institutions, there will definitely be preachers bought by foreigners." of."

"However, if this incident causes twists and turns, it will be detrimental to our plan to join the World Trade Organization." Boss Zhu said with some hesitation.

Fan Wubing was silent for a while, and then said, "After the May 4th Movement, Western ideas have a very strong attraction to Chinese learning. It is true that the pursuit of freedom and equality is the nature of human beings, so there is nothing wrong with it. However, in reality, we What the West is doing is only the naked law of the jungle, the weak prey on the strong, and victory is king. There is no morality at all. The West does not want to see a truly rising China, and a little thought in China is even more powerful. The forces will use all means to eliminate the target physically and spiritually, and for this reason they will not hesitate to destroy all basic human principles and scientific spirit."

After a pause, Fan Wubing continued, "Joining the World Trade Organization may have its advantages, but it is absolutely impossible for foreigners to lower their entry standards because of the weak attitude of the Chinese. If they do not get Enough benefits, they will not let it go easily. Rare earth resources are a deadly weapon in the hands of the Chinese. It can be used as an important bargaining chip in negotiations to ask the other party to reduce prices, and it should not be offered as an almost free gift. .”

Whenever he thinks of the more than ten years of negotiations that the Chinese have conducted to join the WTO, Fan Wubing feels a little sad. Although it is a huge market with the most potential for development in the world, he still has to make various promises to China. Customers, in the end, just turn China into a processing plant for raw materials. As for the most profitable things, it will never be the turn of the Chinese people.

However, some domestic experts who are willing to act as hawks for the Western forces, are shouting for their masters to invade the Chinese market on various occasions, coercing the masses who don't know the truth, to create public opinion.

These things easily reminded Fan Wubing of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Before the Japanese came over, a large number of traitors began to peddle the idea of ​​subjugation.

After thinking about this, Fan Wubing said, "With regard to this matter, the government should not interfere too much, it should be treated as a civil behavior! Isn't it necessary to carry out marketization now? Marketization must have the appearance of marketization! I will In the name of the three rare earth processing companies we currently own, we will sign a three-year purchase contract with major rare earth mining areas across the country, and purchase all major rare earth minerals within three years at twice the current market price."

Boss Zhu was stunned when he heard Fan Wubing's words. How much investment is this? !
