Once the boundary is crossed, it will incur immeasurable consequences, and even affect their own power status, and fall down from the top of the pyramid, which is what officials are most afraid of.

However, for the boss of a private company, as long as the controlling stake is in his own hands, as long as he does not do anything angry and resentful, as long as he does not want to dismiss all employees, then he can be firmly invincible.

Jiang Feng was lucky, he first obtained the Spirit Rhino Ring, which had technology beyond the times, which allowed him to quickly establish a super-large business entity. At the same time, his status as a member of the geological expedition in his previous life made him have a lot of memories of mineral resources in his mind, and he was able to lay them out before they were excavated and then take possession of them.

Jiang Feng's purpose is to build a business empire. But modern society is a resource society, if you want to build a business empire, there are only some high-tech industries, and there is no basic industry, especially the support of energy and mineral resources, then it will be controlled by people everywhere.

Therefore, after Jiang Feng has a certain foundation, he can't wait to enter the mining and energy field, which is also a measure that has to be taken.

When it comes to the mining sector, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is rare earths.

Rare earth is known as industrial "gold", because of its excellent optical and electromagnetic physical properties, it can form new materials with different properties and a wide variety of other materials, and its most significant function is to greatly improve the quality and performance of other products. For example, the tactical performance of steel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys used in the manufacture of tanks, aircraft, and missiles has been greatly improved.

Moreover, rare earths are also lubricants for electronics, lasers, nuclear industry, superconductivity and many other high-tech lubricants. Once rare earth technology is used in the military. It will inevitably bring about a leap in military science and technology.

In a certain sense, the overwhelming control of the US military in several local wars after the Cold War, as well as its ability to openly kill the enemy with impunity, are due to the superhuman superiority in the field of rare earth technology.

Rare earths not only play a significant role in the military, but also in other metallurgical industries, petrochemical industries, new materials, and even agriculture.

China is one of the world's largest rare earth countries, accounting for 80% of the world's rare earth reserves in 1990. However, due to ignorant management, China's rare earth resources are rapidly depleted. By 2011, China's rare earth resources will only account for 23% of the world's reserves, far less than 40% of the United States and 30% of Russia.

Rare earth resources have a significant impact on Jiangfeng's industry, whether it is his automobile industry, or the electronic information industry, as well as the military industry of Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, which requires a large consumption of rare earths.

The application of rare earth elements in automobiles is mainly to make high-performance rare earth magnets. In the car. Electric motor for electronic power steering, engine speed sensor. Rare earth magnets are used in places such as wheel speed sensors in the ABS system.

Since the emergence of new energy power vehicles, the use of rare earth magnets has increased exponentially.

For hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, miniaturized and high-power drive motors are a must, and now these motors use a large number of rare earth magnets.

For example, Toyota is developing a new generation of cars, and now on average, about 20 catties of rare earth elements need to be used in each production. In the next few years, Toyota will sell more than one million hybrid models.

Therefore, how much rare earth metal is needed for a hybrid car alone can be easily calculated.

And in the near future. It is a well-established fact that hybrid vehicles will become the mainstream of the automotive market. In addition, electric vehicles, which also consume a large amount of rare earth metals, are now gradually on the rise abroad.

Therefore, the importance of rare earth resources for the future development of the automobile industry has been obvious. It is no exaggeration to say that the role of rare earth elements in the manufacture of new energy vehicles. and the status of oil in the use of fuel vehicles.

Now that he knows the preciousness of rare earth resources, Jiang Feng plans to intervene here.

This time, he went to the capital, in addition to seeing the new products launched by several companies under his company, such as Jiang's Automobile and Jiang's Electronics, in the hope of meeting with the military's top brass. Let him come forward to integrate the domestic rare earth industry.

In the past 20 years, because there is no unified overall planning, the rare earth mining companies have worked hard to mine, and even competed with each other to reduce prices, turning rare earth metal resources, which are more precious than gold, into a price comparable to cabbage, such a thing, Jiang Feng does not want to continue to see. Although his actions were sold more than ten years later than the large quantities of rare earths were sold cheaply, it is better to do it now than not to do it all at all.

Jiang Feng thought so, and before he knew it, his private plane had already landed at Beijing International Airport.

After arriving in the capital, Jiang Feng directly found Rong Guohui and told Rong Guohui his thoughts. Rong Guohui agreed with Jiang Feng's idea very much, but this matter was not something he could decide. In the end, Rong Guohui decided to take Jiang Feng to meet Premier Wen.

Jiang Feng also has several relationships with the new Premier Wen, and the relationship between the two is not close, at least it is much worse than the relationship between him and the former Premier Hong.

Premier Moon is not a hawk, in fact, he is a centrist. However, he has a good relationship with the Rong family, which is why Rong Guohui brought him to Premier Wen.

"Well, then you can say it, I'll remember it." After learning of Jiang Feng's intention, Premier Wen put on his eyes, took a notebook very seriously, found a pencil and sat there, waiting for Jiang Feng to speak.

Jiang Feng suddenly felt a little stunned, he didn't expect Premier Wen to record it himself, so he said: "Don't do this, I have prepared some materials, just send them to you later." ”

"I've been used to it for many years, and I'm afraid that I'll forget to make a mistake." Premier Moon signaled that it didn't matter.

So Jiang Feng said: "The first thing is about the hoarding of national strategic materials. ”

Premier Wen was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Well, Mr. Jiang, when did you also care about this?" Want to get into politics? ”

"Uh......" Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Where do I have that kind of mind, this is also related to my business, and it is closely related." Now foreigners are salivating over China's rare earth resources, and they are eager to empty these things. ”

After listening to this, Premier Wen nodded and said: "The matter of rare earths, I know, local governments want to make political achievements and economic benefits, and the easiest thing to think about is these mineral resources, in fact, foreigners are thinking about it, not only rare earths!" ”

"That being said, rare earths are different. This thing, we Chinese can completely control, now the Americans in the cutting-edge weapons, aircraft and tank missiles, without this thing can not be accurately guided, aircraft can not even break through the sound barrier, you say important is not important? Jiang Feng said, "And the Americans have stopped their domestic rare earth production." All rare earth minerals are mothballed, and all that is needed is imported from China as a strategic reserve. Japan and South Korea are also considering importing a large number of rare earth resources from China, and it has recently been said that they intend to reserve two years' demand to prevent the international market price of rare earth land from rising in the future. ”

"There's such a thing? Doesn't that mean that we no longer have pricing power in the export price of rare earths? "Premier Wen is engaged in economic work, and as soon as he heard Jiang Feng's words, he grasped the key point.

There are many domestic rare earth export manufacturers, in addition to Inner Mongolia, such as Tiannan, Guangxi, Lingnan, Jiangnan and other provinces and regions have rare earth minerals, so many manufacturers are engaged in rare earth production at the same time, it is inevitable that a competitive situation will be formed, and the domestic rare earth export is not a very unified management agency, so everyone is fighting their own battles. In order to compete for foreign trade and exports, the price war is fought, and it is foreigners who benefit from it.

A large number of rare earth refining ores are sold at the price of cabbage. The country's annual sales revenue is only a few billion yuan, but a large amount of state-owned resources are sold, and the value of these resources should be thousands of times the sales revenue to meet their own value.

If Japan and South Korea really complete their strategic deployment and make a two-year reserve of rare earth resources, they will have the pricing power. As the main seller of China's rare earths, they can not buy China's rare earth refining ore for two years, and the domestic production enterprises, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive even half a year, without this export income, the factory people would have starved to death.

After listening to Jiang Feng's words, Premier Wen felt a great headache.

"Now the central government is tight, although the implementation of the tax sharing system has been effective, but the country's foundation is too thin, if you want to engage in national strategic reserves, there are many difficulties, I can only watch the local digging and mining and nothing can be done! If you want to control this industry, you still need a lot of financial support! Premier Wen said helplessly.

"That's why I'm here!" Jiang Feng immediately put forward his own suggestion, "Premier Wen, you know, my electronics companies and automobile companies, as well as Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, are all major consumers of rare earths. Therefore, I am thinking that I will replace the country as a strategic reserve, build a large-scale rare earth refining enterprise in China, unify the refining of various rare earth minerals that domestic enterprises cannot refine, and suspend the export of rare earths, and I will do the storage of all resources, what do you think? ”

"Stop the export of rare earths?" Premier Wen was also taken aback by Jiang Feng's statement, so he said with some concern, "I estimate that as soon as we stop exporting, ambassadors from dozens of countries will immediately come to threaten us!" ”
