Sun Yucai's face changed, his brows furrowed tightly, his face was solemn, and he was silent.

Seeing him like this, Xia Yu smiled faintly and drank tea.

As for Xia Anshan, he couldn't understand the content of Xia Yu's chat with Sun Yucai, but he knew that these contents were actually confidential, so he excused himself after drinking the tea.

There are only two people left in the pavilion, Xia Yu and Sun Yucai.

After a long time, Sun Yucai's eyes flashed with a look of determination, he looked up at Xia Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xia, I can understand your consideration, this is indeed the wisest approach, but the operation here is very difficult, I can only say that I will do my best!"

said so, in fact, Sun Yucai has no bottom in his heart.

As the number one leader of Qianzhou City, it is still possible for him to forcibly integrate the mines and companies owned by various regions and counties in Qianzhou City.

But in addition to the localities, the central enterprises are also based here, these central enterprises belong to the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, he was also working in the ministries and commissions, although not in the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, but he also knows the situation of the major ministries and commissions, he is now no one above, and the weight of his speech is light, so he has no bottom in his heart.

And that's just the first piece of the puzzle.

The second challenge is the pricing power of rare earths.

Even if all the rare earth mining is really integrated, how can we guarantee that the rare earths can be sold at a high price?

When he had not found a way out in Qianzhou City before, he had also learned about it, knowing the hegemony of Western countries, and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry also tried to sell the price higher, but on the surface, Western countries were bound by other conditions, but in fact it was a threatening way to force the mainland to bow its head.

In this era, although Europe and the United States have opened up most of the export fields of scientific and technological products to the mainland in order to win over the mainland, the consciousness brought about by the technological blockade of the past few decades cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Xia Yu saw the lack of confidence behind Sun Yucai's resolute attitude. He chuckled and said, "Secretary Sun, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, maybe I can help." ”

Sun Yucai's eyes lit up, thinking of Xia Yu's ability to reach the sky and his strong strength, he expressed his concerns: "Mr. Xia, in fact, I do ......"

Xia Yu kept smiling throughout the whole process and listened to Sun Yucai's story.

Facing Sun Yucai's expectant gaze, Xia Yu did not disappoint him, and said: "Secretary Sun, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry is indeed a hurdle that cannot be avoided, but if you don't touch the non-ferrous metals in Qianzhou City, it is simply to integrate the rare earth minerals that have only begun to be exported in recent years, and there is still a certain amount of room for operation." ”

"As for controlling the pricing power, it is indeed a difficult problem for the mainland, after all, the mainland has too many places to rely on Europe and the United States, and there are too many weaknesses, and it is difficult to be tough. ”

"Again, the price of rare earth ore that is simply excavated and simply purified, the export price is too low, even if the price is raised, it will not be raised, and the mainland will also have to develop heavy industry and military industry involving the lifeblood of the country, and then it will have to import rare earths that have appreciated dozens or hundreds of times after being refined by European and American countries, which is not worth it. ”

"The advantages of the mainland are obvious, that is, there are rich rare earth deposits, and the disadvantages are also obvious, there is no supporting technology and pricing power for the rare earth industry, and there is not enough capital to develop and build the entire rare earth industry chain. ”

"It's better to make a suggestion with the above, the rare earth mines of the entire Qianzhou City are integrated together, a joint venture company is established, the mainland is responsible for resources, and I am responsible for sales and obtaining pricing power, and at the same time invest funds to build an industrial chain, and strive to build a complete rare earth industry chain for Qianzhou City and the mainland, what do you think?"

Sun Yucai's brows furrowed, and he looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes.

Xia Yu smiled lightly and looked at Sun Yucai calmly.

"Mr. Xia, it's more difficult here......"

After a few seconds, Sun Yucai said with a wry smile.

"There are definitely difficulties, but for the mainland, if it can be realized, the benefits are actually far more than now, aren't they?"

Xia Yu asked with a smile.

Sun Yucai was silent.

He's not stupid, and of course he can discern the benefits.

Not to mention anything else, even if Xia Yu is to be given 49% of the equity, as long as the price is doubled, it will not be a loss to the mainland, not to mention that Xia Yu's grand plan is far more than doubling the selling price.

Not to mention the country, but also for Qianzhou, if we really create an industrial chain around the rare earth industry, it will benefit the people of Qianzhou City.

At the very least, it will be able to solve the employment problem of part of the population!

Thinking of the huge idle crowd in society and the chaotic social security problems it brings, Sun Yucai has a big headache.

And not only that, if you can really build a complete rare earth industry chain, even if it is just a few foundations and a prototype, it can create huge achievements for him!

No matter how you think about it, Xia Yu's proposal is very beneficial to him!

But the point is that he, the pro-reformist, knows very well that this is no longer something he can decide.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and then said to Xia Yu in a sincere tone: "Mr. Xia, your proposal is beyond my authority, I have to report to the above, and the decision will be made by the above." ”

Xia Yu was not surprised, he knew that this matter had to be discussed at the top and nodded before he proposed.

He happily responded: "This is as it should be, Secretary Sun, you can report it, and talk about it when the time comes." ”

"In fact, in addition to the rare earth and navel orange industry, I also have two immature ideas, I don't know if you are interested?"

Sun Yucai felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, Mr. Xia, please speak!"

Xia Yu said slowly: "I think Qianzhou City has the foundation to develop two other industries, one is the furniture industry, and the other is the pharmaceutical industry. ”

As soon as he finished saying the name, Sun Yucai's face showed a smile, and the expectation in his heart became more and more intense.

Of these two industries, the former is a labor-intensive industry that has a great impact on employment, while the pharmaceutical industry, which is a high-tech industry, has a great impact on tax revenue, and is an industry that benefits the country and the people.

Does Qianzhou City have the potential to develop these two industries?

Xia Yu continued to tell: "First of all, let's talk about the furniture industry, in fact, Qianzhou City itself has a good foundation. ”

"To make furniture, the most important thing is to have enough carpenters and craftsmen, although personnel can be trained, but skilled carpenters can not be trained in a while, and Qianzhou City does not need to be trained, it itself has a huge number of carpenters. ”

"What is Mr. Xia referring to Nankang County?" Sun Yucai suddenly asked.

Xia Yu bowed slightly: "That's right, it is Nankang County, which has a deep and unique carpenter cultural accumulation and has been a 'hometown of carpenters' since ancient times." ”

"Secretary Sun seems to know better. ”

Sun Yucai smiled and said: "I have researched in various regions and counties before, Nankang County is not far from the city, I have been there a lot of times, and I have a certain understanding. ”

"Nankang has a history of more than 1,700 years. ”

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xia, you also have an understanding of Nankang County, which is admirable!"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "I've just heard about it." ”

This is just a modest statement, in fact, Xia Yu in his previous life, as a native of Qianzhou City, how could he not know the fame of Nankang?

This is an important production town of solid wood furniture with an annual output value of more than 180 billion!

During the Three Kingdoms period, the earliest name of Nankang was Nan'an County, and it was named Nankang County in the first year of Jin Taikang (280 AD).

Of course, if the carpentry culture of Nankang is traced back to the roots, it can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, according to legend, there are 100,000 mountains in southern Gansu, most of them are primeval forests, some are good wood, Qin Shi Huang wants to build Afang Palace, urgently need to requisition a large amount of wood, so he sent hundreds of thousands of people to southern Gannan to cut wood. Many of these primitive "Zi people" remained, lived and multiplied in southern Gansu, and became the ancestors of the Nankang people.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the "Nankang Ji" written by Deng Deming, a scholar from southern Gansu, wrote that Nankang County was deep and densely forested, with many trees, and many references to the "woodmen" in southern Gansu, and the characteristics of mountain culture and carpenter culture were obvious.

In the Song Dynasty, a generation of writers Su Dongpo was demoted to Lingnan, along the north-south official road, through southern Jiangnan, heard the story of "Muke", and wrote the good sentence of "who makes the moon to the empty mountain, and the Muke in the mountain interprets the poem".

In the Yuan Dynasty, Gannan was the shipbuilding center of the country, and most of the carpenters in the shipyard were from Nankang.

Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of carpenters in Nankang also participated in the construction of the Ming Imperial Palace, as well as the construction of Chongyi County under the commission of Wang Yangming.

The craftsmanship that has been passed down for thousands of years has long been blooming everywhere, Nankang carpenters are everywhere, and most of them are skilled old carpenters, and there is a completed inheritance system, so Nankang County has the foundation for the development of the furniture industry.

It can be said that only some companies need to integrate these resources and solve the problem of furniture sales, and a furniture production industry chain can be built!

"Secretary Sun, Qianzhou City can plan Nankang County, focusing on supporting the furniture production industry, if you don't know how to go, I can let people invest in Nankang County, create a leading enterprise out, first solve part of the employment problem, and then the government will see how to operate the cake bigger. ”

"At the beginning, you can follow my company's template, and then you can show your talents and see your own abilities. ”

"Mr. Xia, your idea is so good!"

"Thank you also for your willingness to benefit the people of Nankang County!"

Sun Yucai seemed to be too excited, so he stood up and bowed to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu had to get up and asked Sun Yucai to sit down again.

"Secretary Sun, I will explain the investment to my subordinates, and when the time comes, the Qianzhou Municipal Government will connect with that side, provided that you have to make the expected plan first. ”

"Of course, I personally suggest that both sides can communicate well and avoid taking fewer detours and wrong roads. Xia Yu said with a light smile.

"This is as it should be, when the time comes, your company is the leader in the furniture industry in Nankang County, and you must respect your opinions. Sun Yucai nodded.

"Mr. Xia, what about the other pharmaceutical industry you are talking about?"

An idea in the furniture industry, no, it can't be said to be an idea, in Sun Yucai's view, this is a completely direct way, and it is already foreseeable that there is a bright future.

So what will the other idea in Xia Yu's mouth look like?

Sun Yucai, who had a lot of gray hair in order to find a way in Qianzhou City, was in a stirring mood at this time, and looked at Xia Yu with anticipation.
