The Japanese people's dependence on rare earth resources is unimaginable to Chinese.

When the Chinese government was preparing to restrict the export of certain types of rare earth resources, the Japanese media called it the weaponization of resources, comparing China to Russia.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has carried out shock therapy and embarked on capitalism, and its national strength has declined quite sharply, and now it is no longer playing with nuclear weapons, but has begun to play with the valves of natural gas pipelines, opening and closing from time to time to put pressure on neighboring countries.

China's intention to restrict the export of rare earth resources is mostly economical, because it is true that rare earth resources used to be sold too cheaply, and in the long run, they have caused the loss of resources. Moreover, China's own use of rare earths is also growing rapidly, and as a scarce resource owned by the country, it should of course meet its own needs first, which is a matter of course.

However, from Japan's standpoint, we don't care about these reasons, and if China's act of weaponizing resources succeeds, and Japan has no way to do it, Japan's high-tech industry and automobile industry will not need to develop in the future. In the automobile industry, Toyota is the most anxious, because at this stage, the largest use of rare earths and the largest manufacturing volume is the hybrid vehicle that Toyota is promoting.

Japan once claimed that without Japan's precision technology, the Americans' long-range missiles could only strike within 50 meters, but now they can reach within 10 meters.

In order to facilitate the purchase of this contract, Toyota specially allocated 100 million US dollars to Murata Shigeru for activities, which is to let him work in all aspects, to put some pressure on Fan Wuxian and force him to carry out the original contract.

Even, the Japanese side has taken into account that Fan Wuxian is young and often has the habit of being accompanied by beautiful women, and plans to invite several popular actresses in Japan to China to have in-depth exchanges with Fan Wuxi, so as to achieve the purpose of stealth diplomacy.

However, after carefully understanding Fan Wuxi's background, Murata Shigeru dissuaded the Japanese chaebols not to act rashly, because as the son of a member of the Central Committee, he is a wealthy man with huge influence, and Fan Wuxi's power in China is unimaginable to the Japanese, and ordinary pressure will only make him angry, and it will not play a positive role at all, but this beauty diplomacy seems to have some effect.

But one of the most important problems now is that it is too late for everyone to engage in beauty diplomacy, and the Chinese government may make a decision to restrict the export of rare earth resources at any time, and once this decision is made, things cannot be reversed.

For the sake of the present. You still have to negotiate the conditions directly with Fan Wuxi. I just don't know where Fan Wudi's bottom line is? However, Shigeru Murata was determined to achieve his goal. As long as Fan Wuxian put forward the conditions. It is necessary to meet his requirements. Take this big list down.

When Shigeru Murata saw Fan Wuji. He was leaning back on the chaise longue. A beautiful female secretary pinched her shoulders.

Fan Wuxian closed his eyes. It looks very pleasant. It was as if he was asleep.

Shigeru Murata was anxious. But he didn't dare to disturb Fan Wuxi. I had to stand there helplessly.

Five minutes later. Fan Wuxian opened his eyes. He took a closer look at Shigeru Murata. He asked. "You're Mr. Murata?"

Shigeru Murata immediately stepped forward. He bowed deeply. Respectfully replied. "The contemptible person is none other than Shigeru Murata. Please take care of Mr. Fan. ”

Fan Wuxian waved his hand and said, "I can't talk about it, I'm really sorry for this matter, since the establishment of our company, there has been no breach of contract, fortunately, the issue of breach of contract compensation has been negotiated in advance, and the 100 million US dollars will be regarded as compensation." ”

After Murata Shigeru heard Fan Wuxi's words, he immediately said in a little anxious, "Mr. Fan, there is a way to ask for a sky-high price, and sit on the ground to pay the money." Although there are rumors of a ban on the export of rare earths, there is really no need for you to worry about this until the official channels have not officially announced it, why are you not willing to sell it to us? The price is negotiable, as long as you are willing to bid, we have the basis to negotiate the deal. ”

Fan Wuxian looked at Shigeru Murata, shook his head and said, "There are some things you don't understand. My father has now been unusually promoted to a member of the Central Committee, and his career prospects are very good, so I have to pay attention to the political influence in the country. In fact, you can only blame your bad luck for this incident, why did you come to talk to me about this big deal when the news of the government's export restrictions came out? If I agree to your request, it seems that I can't get along with the government, which is a very dangerous signal and has a very serious negative impact on my father's career. Therefore, I am unable to accede to your request. ”

Murata Shigeru listened to Fan Wuxi's words, but he also felt that there was some truth, after all, everyone's pursuit was different, if Fan Wuxian pursued pure money, then he could use a high-priced acquisition to induce him to change his mind, but now Fan Wuxian wants to maintain the positive image of his father Fan Heng, and it is not possible to rely on money, and this matter is difficult to solve.

In fact, Japan is also well aware of the current rare earth resource crisis, and they also have some solutions.

The acquisition of rare earth resources is a national strategic decision of Japan, in order to develop new ways to obtain rare earth resources and break China's monopoly. Japan's geological survey team is working with a number of countries with rare earth burial potential to carry out geological exploration in the region, especially Vietnam.

Recently, Japan has discovered areas in Vietnam that have the same geological and climatic conditions as China's heavy rare earth mines, and it is believed that heavy rare earth minerals may be deposited. In addition to conducting geological surveys in cooperation with the Vietnamese government, we are also using the government development assistance provided by Japan to build roads and bridges around the mining area and indirectly support resource development.

The Toyota Group also intends to establish a joint venture mining company with the Vietnamese government to carry out related development matters.

Especially for some important projects, if you can use rare earths, you can not use them, and if you can use light rare earths, you will not need heavy rare earths. Reducing the use of rare earth elements, especially heavy rare earth elements, is a major scientific and technological topic in Japan.

Now some researchers can use other elements instead of Dy on the premise of ensuring performance, but the production process is very complex and the cost is also very high, and large-scale industrial application cannot be realized at this stage. However, the development of technologies that do not use heavy rare earths is a promise for the Japanese.

In order to make effective use of rare earth resources, the Japanese are also focusing on the development of recycling technology to recover rare earth elements from discarded computer hard drives, optical drives, motors, and automobiles. However, the recycling technology in this is very critical, taking computer hard disks as an example, the weight of magnets accounts for two to three percentage points, and it is difficult to recycle if the technology is backward.

The Japanese used to buy a large number of discarded fighter jets of the US military in the Middle East, the purpose of which is to obtain a large number of rare earth elements used in them, the recycling cost is very low, but the return is very high, quite cost-effective.

The Americans are accustomed to being extravagant, and it is difficult to understand what the Japanese are doing with such diligence to collect the rags. But Fan Wuxian knows very well that it is not easy for Japan, as a country with few resources, to get to where it is today, although their aggressiveness is disgusting, but their own efforts are worthy of admiration.

Not only military enterprises, or civilian industries, or high-tech processing industries, all have remarkable points, and even their AV industry can be regarded as unique in the world!

After pondering for a moment, Shigeru Murata immediately thought of a good solution, so he said to Fan Wuxian, "If Mr. Fan wants to help Ling Zun's career, we can add some additional conditions to the original price, which is guaranteed to be of great benefit to Ling Zun's career, and will definitely not affect his reputation because of this matter, what do you think?" ”

Fan Wuxian raised his head when he heard this, glanced at Shigeru Murata very seriously, and then asked with interest, "Oh?" Let's hear about it. ”

Fan Wuxian also wants to hear what advice Murata Shigeru has, anyway, he is just holding the bamboo lever here, and he can squeeze some more benefits, why not do it?

Murata Shigeru said to Fan Wuji, "Ling Zun's foundation in Jiangnan Province is not stable, and the current lack of funds is quite large, if we are willing to provide some free assistance and give some interest-free loans, will it have a better impact on his work?" As long as Jiangnan Province does a good job in its work and develops economically, you will be able to work hard to a higher position according to the current standards for selecting and promoting cadres in your country, right? ”

Fan Wuxi looked at Shigeru Murata, and said in his heart that this guy has an active brain, and he knows that if he wants to solve the problem, he must start from the root, and he uses his father's situation to set up obstacles, so he starts from helping his father solve the problem, which can be said to have grasped the key point.

So Fan Wuxian thought about it and said, "Let's talk about the specific situation." ”

Shigeru Murata was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart was finally loosened, which is a good phenomenon! He was confident that as long as Fan Wuxian showed signs of relenting, he would have a way to convince him, after all, the price he could pay this time was also extremely huge in the eyes of the Japanese.
