Chapter 462: Rare Earth Strategy
Jiang Feng smiled slightly: "Rare earth production is too polluting to the environment. Isn't it a good way to shut down and rectify rare earth processing and production enterprises under the pretext of controlling environmental pollution? As for the operating expenses of the factory during the shutdown, the state will pay for it, and I will pay for it, so there is no opinion on the local government, right? Besides, the Americans don't produce anymore, so why should we do? Apart from the United States, which country do we need to be afraid of? Now China is a big market, and no one dares to threaten us with economic sanctions, which is just to create opportunities for other countries! ”
"Even so, I'm afraid the resistance is not small, the problem of environmental pollution, more powerful than rare earth production and processing enterprises! With the current situation in China, who will believe it? Premier Moon asked.
As long as the news network and relevant newspapers report on rare earth pollution for a month, do you think the local people will still let the factory start? And the workers in the factory, as long as the wages are paid, do you think they will find it very hard to rest? Jiang Feng made a suggestion.
After listening to Jiang Feng's suggestion, Premier Wen suddenly laughed, pointed at Jiang Feng and said, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, you are really insidious!" I've learned your ingenuity, and the people's hearts are available! ”
"I also think about the interests of the country, and I am under a lot of pressure to do this kind of thing." Jiang Feng said.
This is the truth, let the Japanese know that Jiang Feng did this, and they will have the intention of running over to assassinate him.
Rare earth is not only a rare metal in the world, but also an element of new materials and technologies that turn stones into gold. It is also a strategic resource for scientific and technological competition. Before the 70s, the production and application of rare earths were state secrets.
At that time, the Japanese wanted to buy the slag of Baotou Steel at a high price, and Premier Zhou ordered that no matter how much money was given, it could not be sold! It can be seen that the national leaders at that time had great foresight and long-term strategic vision.
After the reform and opening up, the economy has been invigorated, but the central government's control over the local areas has also weakened a lot. As long as you make money, you are an uncle, it doesn't matter if you pollute the environment, anyway, the bosses are going to immigrate to Australia and New Zealand, how good are the natural conditions there? I only need to come back every year to see how the factory is doing. Just collect the bills. What pollution is in the country, and what does it have to do with him?
"Well, what's the matter?" Premier Wen nodded and then asked, he had already written down the key points that Jiang Feng said on paper, this matter still needs to be carefully considered, after all, it is not as simple as talking about it.
"Another thing is that my automobile companies and electronics companies will launch a large number of new products in a few days, and I hope you can always be there to guide them." Jiang Feng said.
This matter was something that Jiang Feng had just remembered. Because he didn't expect the rare earth matter, Rong Guohui would take him to Premier Wen. Now that I've met with Premier Moon. Then don't bother the two masters, and invite him to attend the launch ceremony of Jiang's Group's new products.
"Yo ho, Mr. Jiang, you really dare to speak!" Premier Wen said with a smile.
Jiang Feng smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay, I know that. The products produced by your company have filled the gaps in related fields in China. In particular, your automobile project is the first product of our nation with completely independent intellectual property rights. There is such a major event, and I certainly can't miss it. Originally, I was still thinking that Jiang always looked down on me and didn't invite me as an old guy. Premier Moon said with a smile.
"Huh?" Jiang Feng was stunned. Then he said happily, "Why, I don't know that you have a lot of opportunities and don't dare to speak." ”
After Jiang Feng came out, Rong Guohui asked, "How was the talk?" ”
"It's good, Premier Wen is a cheerful person." Jiang Feng was very satisfied with the results of today's talks.
In fact, the two things he mentioned today have their own interests. But the impact on the country is also very positive.
If rare earths are set up as strategic reserves, they can increase the price of the international market to ensure that the country's rights and interests will not be trampled on, and second, they can be suspended during the period of suspension and rectification. Optimize rare earth processing enterprises, improve refining capacity, put an end to simple raw material exports, save resources, protect the environment, integrate rare earth production resources, form large-scale production enterprises, and reduce waste, which are beneficial to the people of the country.
As for computers and automobiles, now China is basically producing foreign brands, especially automobiles, all of which are production plants of foreign car brands. This is very detrimental to the development of the country's national industry.
The main purpose of coming to the capital has been achieved so far, and now it is time to wait for the launch ceremony of the car, computer and mobile phone products in three days.
Three days later, on April 2, Jiang's Group held a series of new product listing activities such as Jiang's automobile, Jiang's computer, Jiang's mobile phone, etc., including the premier of the country, a number of high-level government officials attended the listing ceremony, and Premier Wen also delivered an enthusiastic speech, expressing high praise for the self-reliance of Jiang's group, and calling on other domestic companies to learn from Jiang's group.
In the recent stage, Xinhua News Agency reported on a little girl who suffered from blood cancer in the rare earth mining area, and deeply exposed and criticized the waste of resources in the domestic rare earth production, disorderly mining, backward processing, vicious competition, etc., and monitored the environment of the mining area, and found that many places are no longer suitable for human habitation, and the situation continues to deteriorate.
The media in various parts of the country have risen up to discuss in depth the impact of industrial pollution and waste of resources on people's lives, and give examples of the deterioration of the environment in Western countries after the industrial revolution, and the huge price paid in order to control environmental pollution.
Finally, the media called on the government to shut down such heavily polluting enterprises to avoid repeating the mistakes of Western countries.
The impact of this matter is very great, according to the past practice, such a thing is at most to see the newspaper, everyone discuss, appeal, donate some money to the children or something, and it will be over.
But this time, with the acquiescence and connivance, the trouble was out of control, and finally the State Council finally officially notified a number of rare earth production and processing enterprises in key mining areas, ordering them to stop production and rectification, and in view of the situation that enterprises may secretly mine in the case of targeted requirements, once it is found that there is an operation during the suspension of production and rectification, the factory leadership will immediately be dismissed, and criminal responsibility will be investigated, and will not be tolerated, and the whistleblower will be heavily rewarded.
As for the issue of corporate life during the period of suspension of production and rectification, it was not mentioned in the document, but in private, the person in charge said when meeting with the heads of various enterprises that there would be a salary, and not a penny would be less.
At the same time, with the approval of the State Council, Jiang Feng acquired three large enterprises that produce and process rare earths in Inner Mongolia, Ludong and Jiangnan provinces for restructuring, established a joint-stock company, and began to invest heavily in upgrading its production equipment.
During this period of time, rare earth production and processing enterprises around the country are a little unable to sit still, for no other reason, mainly because most of the products they produce are exported to foreign countries. In order to reduce their own purchase costs, foreign companies have always had the practice of corrupting sales personnel through money, and this time the factory has stopped production and rectified, and they don't know when they will resume work, these people can't sit still.
Foreign companies, especially Japanese companies, are urging very tightly, they have not completed the strategic reserves of rare earth resources, so as soon as they shut down and rectify, they were so anxious that they couldn't sit still, and they inquired about this time through various channels, and then they learned that the domestic environmental protection voice is very high, and the rare earth industry is now the hardest hit area, and no one dares to open the opening of processing and production.
However, the Japanese company thought that money could make the devil grind, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, so they bought off several small enterprises to secretly mine and process.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning, Pan Juan suddenly woke up from her sleep, scared into a cold sweat, and she dreamed that her husband was arrested again. It's been a long time, and she often has the same dream.
Two years ago, Pan Juan's husband discovered a rare earth mine in a county in Ganzhou, Jiangnan Province, and successfully bought the mountain from the "old watch" for more than 100,000 yuan in the name of planting fruit trees. In addition to planting a little tree on the side, they mainly steal rare earth minerals. Since the beginning of April, the central government has implemented high-pressure control policies for the rare earth industry, rectified the order of the rare earth industry, and focused on cracking down on illegal mining, production, black market trading, export smuggling and other violations of laws and regulations. The wind is very tight, and almost all formal enterprises have stopped production, but under the temptation of huge interests, Pan Juan's husband and they are still committing crimes against the wind, and the processed rare earth oxides are collected by special people and secretly smuggled to Japan.
As a result, this matter was reported less than two days later, and a special case team immediately came down to take her husband away, and it was not from the Ministry of Public Security, but directly from the Ministry of Security, and in the name of endangering national security.
At this moment, enterprises everywhere will not dare to do anything more, and even if the Japanese spend more money and make heavier promises, no one will be willing to conspire with them. The Ministry of Security intervened, but it was impossible to explain the unclear thing, and no one wanted to touch this mold. However, Pan Juan's husband was trapped, and I heard that he would be sentenced, and in the face of such an ending, Pan Juan wanted to cry without tears.
