Global economic integration, the international market is still very sensitive to the price fluctuations of various mineral resources, the first thing that feels wrong is Japan, rare earths are widely used in the production of various high-end electronic equipment, and Japan is known for the production of various electronic equipment for export, and Japan itself is an island country, all kinds of mineral resources are very poor, mainly dependent on imports, is also one of the main customers of China's rare earth exports.

It is precisely because of the scarcity of all kinds of resources that Japan attaches great importance to all kinds of natural resources to the point of staggering; to give a few examples, the first example is that Shijiazhuang in Hebei, Taiyuan and Datong in Shanxi are coal-producing places in China, do you know who the biggest buyer is? It is Japan! In fact, Japan is a country that does not burn coal, so why does Japan purchase a large amount of coal from China? For 30 years, Japan continued to purchase a large amount of coal from China, and after returning home, he disembarked at Shimonoseki in Japan, and then sealed it with cement, sealed it into stone squares, and then sank to the bottom of the inland sea in Japan. I heard that half of Taiyuan has sunk now, and this coal is to be used in preparation for the future war with Huaxia.

And the second example, when you look at Sputnik, the whole of Japan is green, and you know why? Because they don't cut down a single tree. Any tree cut down in Japan requires permission from the Japanese government, as they see forests as an important resource. However, chopsticks are used throughout Japan, so what should we do? We exported all the timber from northeastern China and the Great Khing'an Mountains to Japan, sent it down the Ussuri River, and after it was loaded on ships in Vladivostok, it was exported to Japan. Therefore, the Japanese bought all the wood from our northeast, and after buying it, all of it was cut into chopsticks and used by 110 million people. When they finished eating, none of the chopsticks were thrown away, all of them were put away, and then they were ground into pulp and sold to Huaxia, so in the 90s, the Japanese often laughed at the Chinese people for being stupid, transporting a boatload of wood to Japan, in exchange for a boatload of fine paper, but the Japanese did not spend any resources.

The third example is to talk about our rare earths, Japan is the largest exporter of rare earths in China, after they import rare earths, these rare earth raw materials are processed into a powder, coated in "plasma color TV" On the screen, it was sold to the Chinese people at an expensive high price, and they also took advantage of this to grasp the pricing power of rare earth exports, suppressing the Chinese rare earth enterprises to reduce the export price, and stop importing if they did not fall, because they have done enough rare earth reserves by importing from China over the years, and they can withstand the stop importing for a while and a half, while the Chinese rare earth enterprises are going bankrupt and unable to pay wages, so they compete to reduce the price and bargain with each other just to please Japanese customers.

It is precisely because Japan attaches so much importance to rare earth resources, so as soon as Duan Yu's plan was launched, they immediately noticed that something was wrong, the export of rare earths in China was greatly reduced, and at the same time there were mysterious buyers quietly absorbing goods, although Japan has a large number of rare earth reserves, so as not to be affected too much all of a sudden, but this matter still aroused their great attention, and suddenly rose to the national level, Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs specially discussed this matter, and finally decided to send a delegation to Huaxia in the name of Panasonic Co., Ltd. to spy on it, to see what is going on。

This delegation was nominally led by Ichiro Nakata, vice president of Panasonic Corporation, but in fact it was headed by Fumio Sato, vice minister for foreign affairs of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who is roughly equivalent to a director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

Because this delegation was not in the name of the Japanese government, but in the name of non-governmental trade investigation, Fumio Sato did not use his official capacity, but mixed in with the delegation as Ichiro Nakata's personal assistant.

Fumio Sato prides himself on being a Huaxia expert, so he feels very relaxed about his mission, with his experience in dealing with the Huaxia government over the years, as long as it is in the name of inspection and investment, he will definitely be received by the local government with a high standard, and the government will definitely try its best to meet their requirements.

The delegation first arrived in Mombasa Province, because the mine with the largest rare earth reserves in China is Baiyun Rare Earth Mine, but Song Lei, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Mombasai Province, did not meet them at all, but sent a vice governor to meet them, telling them that Baiyun Rare Earth has formed a strategic alliance with Liaoyuan Rare Earth, and is planning to jointly establish the Huaxia Rare Earth International Exchange, if they want to negotiate on the export price of rare earths, they can first go to Liaoyuan Province to negotiate.

In Mombasa, Fumio Sato was naturally uncomfortable, so they did not immediately contact the Liaoyuan Provincial Government when they arrived in Liaoyuan Province, but disguised themselves as tourists, preparing to go to several large rare earth mines in Liaoyuan Province first, which is also a common way for Japanese intelligence officers to collect intelligence in China, but this time it is not effective, and there are armed police guards around several large rare earth mines in Liaoyuan Province, and irrelevant personnel cannot approach at all.

Now Fumio Sato also knew that this time he was afraid that he would run into an opponent, so he had to formally contact the Liaoyuan Provincial Government, and the provincial government was responsible for attracting foreign investment and receiving it was Executive Vice Governor Dong Sihai, Dong Sihai received Nakata Ichiro and his party very warmly, especially when he heard that Panasonic Co., Ltd. was interested in preparing to build a plasma TV display production plant in Liaoyuan Province, and he was overjoyed to import 400,000 tons of rare earth ore at one time.

At that moment, Dong Sihai found Hua Xinyu and happily told him that I helped your company bring a big business, you hurry up and mine and produce, 400,000 tons of rare earth is enough for your company to eat for several years.

How did he know that Hua Xinyu told him that Liaoyuan Rare Earth Group had no export plan recently, and it was impossible to export so many rare earths at one time, Dong Sihai was stunned for a moment, patted the table and pointed at Hua Xinyu and scolded angrily: "Hua Xinyu, your head is in water, how can you push the big business out of the door?!... ...."

Hua Xinyu was actually secretly happy in his heart, it seems that Duan Yu's plan has received results, the Japanese were very angry in the past, but now they have come to the door, and they have more confidence in the success of Duan Yu's plan, but Dong Sihai is the executive vice governor after all, and he is not good at hard topping, so he has to spread his hands and say: "Governor Dong, it's not that we don't have business to do, it's just that we don't have the goods on hand now, all our rare earth raw ore is now purchased and sold by the provincial finance, and I can't be the master... ...."
