Chapter 399 Big Harvest

Tian Mao was so smart that Fan Wu fell ill and didn't have to worry about it. The price was only increased by 50%, but it was only two words, but it also cost the Japanese more than one billion US dollars. It's really worth it. It's an unforeseen disaster.

If Wuzhi Xiaoji hadn't mentioned that Toyota competed with its own automobile industry in rare earth products, Fan Wubing wouldn't have thought of interfering with it and roped in Boss Zhu to act with him.

The cost this time is quite large, and a large part of the income will still be given to the General Equipment Department chaired by Director Zhang. This is also the promise Fan Wubing made to Boss Zhu.

But no matter what, this business was a great success. It not only solved Director Zhang's urgent need and gave him ample funds for the Beidou Project, but also a large part of the surplus can be used to develop other projects.

After Director Zhang learned the news, he couldn't wait to rush over and kiss Fan Wubing and his wife. Now he no longer needs to cry to Boss Zhu about poverty. The research funds for the next ten years are basically in place, so what else is there? Are you satisfied?

Fan Wubing himself did not suffer any loss. Even though he was ripped off by Director Zhang, the profits he left behind were considerable, enough to sustain the operation of the rare earth mine and processing plant for three years. As he said, If it doesn't open for three years, it will last three years if it opens.

Three years of full reserves will not only allow you to accumulate a huge resource bank, but also allow the price of rare earths in the international market to skyrocket. If you sell them again, your profits will skyrocket.

As for Jiangnan Province, where Fan Heng is in charge, it has received US$500 million in free aid and US$2 billion in interest-free loans from the Japanese government. The loan repayment time is five years, which can be said to be a very critical support.

For some reason, it was not convenient for Fan Wubing to directly invest a large amount of money in Jiangnan Province to help his father Fan Heng develop his economy. Therefore, the conditions proposed by Murata Shigeru this time made Fan Wubing very interested. Such a large amount of funds would be enough. Make up for the funding gap caused by the predecessor of Jiangnan Province when he was in office.

With the support of such abundant funds, Fan Heng can confidently and boldly carry out institutional reforms for enterprises in the province, solve the long-standing shortcomings that have persisted for many years, reverse the decline of Jiangnan Province in one fell swoop, and put it on the fast track of economic development as soon as possible.

In a word. Fan Wubing is the kind of guy who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits. Wait until the Japanese promise is realized. He just opened his own warehouse. Transport out the rare earths that were promised. It was loaded onto the freighter that had been waiting for Shanghai for a long time. Ship to Japan.

"In this way, the Japanese will have a strategic reserve for a year." Some people still feel a little repelled by this.

Fan Wubing said. "What happened to the one-year strategic reserve? I won't be planning to export within three years!"

Others thought he was just talking casually.

But his prospective father-in-law Shen Peiming has publicly expressed this. Fan Wubing never talks nonsense. Since he said he would not export for three years. Then it will definitely not be exported.

However, Shen Ying did not agree with this. So I called Fan Wubing specifically to ask about this. As expected, Fan Wubing said. "Three years is just a rough estimate. If the opportunity is good, it won't be so rigid and dogmatic. Making money is the first priority. My current actions are just to cooperate with the government and help them raise funds. Next There won’t be such a thing once. You can do whatever you want.”

"It's hard to imagine that you can make so much money from the Japanese." Shen Ying admired Fan Wubing's method of defrauding money. Although she often plays some tricks in business operations. But I asked myself about colluding with the deputy general manager to defraud people of money. You can't do it yourself. Don't have that ability either.

"It's nothing, I just caught their weakness." Fan Wubing explained to Shen Ying, "Japan's efforts around rare earth resources can be described as overcoming all difficulties and working hard. . Although Japan itself does not produce rare earth resources, their technology in this area, especially the research on rare earth magnets, is the first in the world in terms of the number of researchers and the results they have achieved. In Japanese materials, when referring to China's rare earth reserves, one word is used: bias, which conveys a very sour and unconvincing feeling. However, this is nothing to laugh at. On the contrary, as far as I am concerned, it is. I admire them very much. Because having resources is not a big deal, it is just natural luck. The ability to make the most efficient use of these resources is what matters. Children from poor families should be laughed at if they are lucky but have no ability. While reading, would you laugh at his poverty? If a child from a rich family has nothing to do and uses books as firewood, would you envy him for his wealth? In fact, this is the attitude of the Chinese and Japanese towards rare earth resources. "

Shen Ying nodded repeatedly and said, "I thought you were very repulsive to the Japanese. I didn't expect that you have a very deep understanding of them. It's really surprising."

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "You can't understand the Japanese only from domestic books and reports. Otherwise, you will be affected by the wrong guidance of public opinion and never see the truth clearly. For example, the reason why I can deal with the rare earth issue this time is The Japanese people's necks were stuck because of Wuzhi Xiaoji's reminder. Before that, I didn't know how much Wuzhi Xiaoji knew about the rare earth industry. It can even be said that he didn't know much about the rare earth situation in our country. The understanding is not much worse than that of many professionals! What does this mean? This is enough to illustrate the Japanese people’s thirst for resources, but all Japanese people have been instilled with such ideas and opinions since childhood!”

Shen Ying also felt something after listening to Fan Wubing's words, "It is said that when the Japanese teach children, they will always ask everyone about a piece of fruit, what is it? Is it delicious? Do you want to eat it? Where is it? After asking these questions, he will add that these are all in China, where the best food is. If you want to eat it, go to China!”

Fan Wubing had also heard this story. Although he did not know whether it was true or not, the Japanese way of cultivating the younger generation revealed in the story actually followed the previous militaristic practices, full of a sense of aggression and possession.

"However, I think you are not just taking action because of my uncle or your father's affairs?" Shen Ying asked.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Actually, I am worried that new power vehicles from Toyota and other companies will have a greater impact on my new company. Because in addition to developing automotive technology, the Japanese automobile industry also has to worry about production resources. In order to obtain and develop resource-saving technologies, they face far more difficulties outside of automotive technology than their Chinese counterparts. If we are envious of China's rich resources, we have nothing to be proud of, but rather respect them. What is more important is that we must develop our own technology and effectively utilize these resources. The development of new energy vehicles is the trend of the times, and China has the advantage of abundant rare earth resources. It will be too late if it cannot be transformed into technological advantages. If we waste it, we will be looked down upon by outsiders.”

"Didn't you already acquire the Rare Earth Research Institute? Are there any new developments recently?" Shen Ying asked.

"We have made certain breakthroughs in both military and civilian technology. My goal is to catch up with Japan's system application capabilities within three years and make us a veritable powerhouse in rare earth resources." Fan Wubing told Shen Ying.

After he finally got it done, Boss Zhu called him and said, "Are you done with it? I can't stand it now. The international pressure is still quite high. We must Please explain the ban on rare earth exports as soon as possible.”

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "This time, I need more support from you, Boss Zhu. Without your silence, we would never have such high profits. As for now, it doesn't matter how you want to explain to the media. At least you You can say something to them to push up domestic rare earth export prices.”

"How to do it?" Boss Zhu didn't know what Fan Wubing was referring to, so he asked with interest.

"Just say that although the government will not restrict the export of rare earth resources, the largest rare earth enterprise group in the country does not support the existence of large quantities of state-owned resources sold at low prices. Therefore, the largest rare earth enterprise in the country decided to make a decision within three years. No more selling rare earths to outsiders." Fan Wubing put forward his suggestion to Boss Zhu.

"This still creates the illusion that rare earth resources are scarce in the market!" Boss Zhu asked curiously, "Why do you always want to push up the price of rare earths?"

Fan Wubing replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it is certain! Our domestic rare earth resources are the only weapon that can curb the development of Western countries' military and civilian technologies. If we don't master them well and sell them to foreigners easily, then This is a very typical practice of giving someone a thumbs up! Rare earth prices are in line with the national interest!”

After listening to Fan Wubing's explanation, Boss Zhu understood Fan Wubing's intention to raise the export price of rare earths. It was entirely to change the current unbalanced export situation of rare earths and ensure that state-owned assets would not decline sharply as much as possible. It was lost, so he still needed to continue to make up the lies himself.

So, at the press conference that day, Boss Zhu mentioned this issue.

"The Chinese government has never coerced international customers on the issue of rare earth resources, and we do not believe that foreign governments can exert much influence on our internal resource meetings. That is inconsistent with the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Then I would like to ask the Deputy Prime Minister, will the Chinese government strictly restrict the export of rare earth minerals?" You Ji came to the front and asked Boss Zhu.
