"The right to mine and export rare earths? Ye Kai's appetite is very big! The next day, in Comrade Hong Zheng's office, Comrade Hong Zheng was discussing the problem with a person in charge of the central bank, and after hearing the news from Ye Ziping, Comrade Hong Zheng said with some surprise.

"Ye Kai? Comrade Ye Ziping's son-in-law? The person in charge asked.

Comrade Hong Zheng nodded and said, "He has a batch of gold in his hand, and I want to take it back, so he put forward such a condition." ”

"Then just take it back." When the person in charge of the central bank heard this, he said, "I believe that Comrade Ye Lao and Comrade Ziping will not be able to stop this matter." ”

"It's not that simple, this batch of gold is Nangong Jinghong's." Comrade Hong Zheng shook his head and said, "There are many people who want to fight this batch of golden ideas, but no one dares to open their mouths, because there is a question of whether it is voluntary or not. ”

"It turned out to be the gold of the Nangong family, but it was not easy to do." When the person in charge of the central bank heard this, he asked, "Then what does this have to do with Ye Kai, could it be that he is the master of the Nangong family?" ”

"The relationship between Ye Kai and Nangong Jinghong is quite good, and it is said that Nangong Jinghong intends to give him this gold." Comrade Hong Zheng replied.

"In this case, isn't it okay to contact Ye Kai directly, even if there are hundreds of kilograms, even if it is a ton or two tons of gold, it is okay for the state to come forward to buy it, so no one can say anything." The central bank, on its part, is also very keen on gold, so the person in charge is also very motivated.

"It's not a ton or two of gold. That's hundreds of tons of gold. Comrade Hong Zheng shook his head and said.

"Up...... 100 tons?! When the person in charge of the central bank heard this, he immediately opened his mouth a little.

No wonder even Comrade Hong Zheng is so active, it turns out to be hundreds of tons of gold!

"According to the information we have received, there are about 150 tons of gold." Comrade Hong Zheng nodded and said, "The domestic gold production has not been able to rise, and the reserves are a hard injury, so we are still very concerned about this gold wealth, but the origin of this batch of gold is a little sensitive, and it is likely to be the wealth of Southeast Asian countries left behind when the Japanese army invaded China." If you don't handle it well, it's easy to get us into some trouble. ”

"I see." When the person in charge of the central bank heard this, he suddenly realized.

Many people are no strangers to the problem of the hidden treasures left by the Japanese invasion of China, but over the years, although some large and small secrets have also been discovered, large quantities of gold have not been encountered.

Some people say that when the Japanese used warships to transport this batch of gold back to the mainland, it was blown up and sunk by American planes. It is also said that the gold was transported to Outer Mongolia. Deeply buried, others say that the gold fell into the hands of the Americans.

It is even said that the Lee family of Singapore got the gold, so after World War II, the small city-state quickly developed and became one of the four Asian tigers.

But now it seems that these legends are unreliable, and the feelings of this batch of gold have fallen into the hands of Nangong Jinghong. No wonder there has been little news for nearly half a century.

If this batch of gold is really the batch of that year, then it is better to deal with it in the hands of private individuals than in the hands of the state, otherwise, those Southeast Asian countries that were invaded by the Japanese army back then will definitely come to the door because of this matter.

"That's what I said. Ye Kai's proposal for rare earth mining rights and export rights is still more appropriate. The person in charge of the central bank analyzed, "If this matter is done, then there will be an equivalent exchange relationship between us and Nangong Jinghong." This batch of gold is obtained from the mining rights and export rights of rare earths, and it is added to the national treasury as gold reserves. ”

"That being said, people from all sides are eyeing each other." Comrade Hong Zheng frowned.

He saw very clearly that hundreds of tons of gold were a huge piece of fat in anyone's eyes, and if he could take a bite, it would be enough for him to spend most of his life, even if it was some people in the management, he was not exempt from vulgarity.

Therefore, how to deal with this problem is indeed a headache.

"But the issue of rare earths is not so easy to agree to." Comrade Hong Zheng thought of Ye Kai's conditions, and couldn't help scratching his head a little.

With regard to rare earths, Comrade Hong Zheng does not lack information on this aspect, especially the sources of some strategic resources in China, including the flow of some metallic and non-metallic resources that are very important in military and civilian use, and these are no secret to him.

Why did the American Patriot missiles shoot down Saddam's Scud missiles relatively easily?

Why is it that although the difference between the direct range of the main guns of the American-made M1 and Soviet-made T-72 tanks is not large, the former always fires earlier and more accurately? Why can the F-22 fighter cruise at supersonic speed?

For each of these whys, from a materials science perspective, rare earths are able to solve all of these problems at once.

The Patriot missile can easily destroy the Scud missile because its guidance system uses about four kilograms of samarium-cobalt magnets and neodymium-iron-boron magnets, which are used for electron beam focusing, and samarium and neodymium are rare earth elements.

As for the supersonic cruise function of the F-22, it is due to its powerful engine and light and strong fuselage, which use a lot of special materials made by rare earth technology.

For example, the blades and combustion chamber of the F119 engine use flame-retardant titanium alloy technology, which is said to be made of rhenium, while the strong fuselage of the F-22 is armed with magnesium-titanium alloy reinforced with rare earth elements.

Otherwise, in supersonic cruise, the F119 is powerful enough to destroy itself.

If it is said that the development and application of rare earths in China did not pay so much attention to in the past, then the unbelievable military miracles in the Gulf War and the asymmetric control ability of the US military in the local wars after the Cold War have shocked the high-level.

In a sense, it is rare earths that make all this happen.

And most of these rare earths are sold cheaply from China.

Because of this, the development and utilization of rare earths also breeds great dangers, and more and more countries and military forces are participating in the competition and research and development of rare earths in order to gain asymmetric control over opponents.

As the world's largest country in terms of rare earth reserves, the mainland should strictly restrict the mining of rare earths and immediately ban the export of rare earths.

In fact, the mainland government does not attach importance to the development of rare earths.

Three years ago, rare earths were listed as national protected minerals.

From the perspective of rare earth protection policy, special institutions, stable industry policies, and consistent overall control by the state, even the oil industry does not have such treatment.

However, the achievements of the development of the rare earth industry for decades are basically still at the level of cheap selling resources.

"In fact, I am also very dissatisfied with the cheap sale of rare earth resources." Comrade Hong Zheng said, "When developed countries have regarded rare earths as strategic resources and have taken action, our rare earths are more often regarded as ordinary commodities in exchange for foreign exchange. ”

The mainland is the only country in the world that can supply a large number of rare earth products of different grades and varieties, and it can be said that over the years, the mainland has opened its doors to supply to the world regardless of the cost.

As a result of this, some foreign forces have developed more and more powerful sophisticated weapons.

In any respect, Comrade Hong Zheng could not be happy.

"But we also have concerns, if from the government level, restrict the export of rare earths, then the impact on the international will be huge, and it is not excluded that foreign ** forces will continue to demonize us in the name of this." Comrade Hong Zheng said, "Therefore, it is difficult to make up your mind! ”

"In that case, it might be a good thing to simply privatize the mining and export of rare earths." When the person in charge of the central bank heard this, he said thoughtfully.

Once rare earths are privatized, then for a long time in the future, whether it is the mining of rare earths or the export, it will not have much to do with the country.

As for whether Ye Kai wants to restrict exports or raise prices, it has nothing to do with the country.

"It's a good thing, a good thing that kills two birds with one stone." Thinking of this, the person in charge of the central bank had his eyes lit up and said to Comrade Hong Zheng.

"Hehe, I also think it's very funny, it depends on what other people think." Comrade Hong Zheng smiled and said, "I will bring this matter up in the future and see what everyone's opinions are." ”

As a matter of fact, Premier Yun is now being treated in the hospital while he is ill, and he rarely comes back to preside over the work, and the affairs of the State Council are basically handled by Comrade Hong Zheng, so as long as there is no big opposition from the political situation of the Central Committee, it is estimated that this matter can still be promoted.

Sure enough, at the meeting of the Central Political Bureau in the afternoon, Comrade Hong Zheng raised this matter.

"Nowadays, the mining situation of rare earths is relatively chaotic, although state-owned mines are the main body, but the problem of private mining is also very serious, and after exporting a large number of rare earths, the annual exchange for foreign exchange is only 100 million US dollars, which is very worrying." Comrade Hong Zheng said, "So I personally agree with Comrade Ye Kai's idea of exchanging gold for rare earth mining rights and export rights, which not only enriches our gold reserves and enables us to solve many urgent problems, but also standardizes the rare earth industry and solves the shortcomings in all aspects." ”

After listening to Comrade Hong Zheng's words, all the members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee who attended the meeting had different expressions and began to think about this matter.
