"Young man, I heard you're a local, how old are you this year?"

"Yes, Elder Yan, go over two mountains forward, that is my home, I am 21 years old this year. ”

"Oh, it's only 21, I've heard you've done a lot of great things, and it seems that you're very capable. ”

"Don't dare, I can't do it, and I haven't done anything big. ”

"You don't have to be modest, what you have done in the past few years, my old man has also heard of it, and it is already very good to be able to make such achievements at a young age. By the way, young man, I heard that you have been working in Guangdong Province very early, so don't you need to study? Who else is in your family......

This is how the exchange between Li Huayong and Old Man Yan began, and the old man came up and talked to Li Huayong. Li Huayong patiently negotiated with him, because Old Man Yan's questioning seemed random, but in fact, it was still a mode of "checking household registration".

Since the time travel, Li Huayong actually hates people's "checking the household registration" very much, but there is no way, who makes the family old? Moreover, the old man has a good attitude and has always been pleasant, so he should be checked by others or must be checked by others.

Old man Yan seemed very talkative, he started with Li Huayong's personal situation, and slowly talked about the common hometown of the two of them, Nanjiang Province, and after each praised a few words of "good hometown", Old man Yan's question slowly approached the topic:

"Young man, you know what rare earths are, right?"

"This ...... Rare earth is actually a collective name for some rare metals, these metals are very useful, they are very important strategic substances, in the West, rare earths are even called the vitamins of modern industry, Yan Lao, right?"

"Vitamins of modern industry? Haha, your analogy is quite apt. Young man, since you all know that rare earths are strategic substances, then I won't go around in circles with you, let's say, why did you send someone to the XXX Research Institute in the first place?"

"This... Yan Lao is like this......"

Of course, Li Huayong couldn't tell the old man that he didn't understand rare earths at all, and all knowledge stopped at the level of popular science. The reason why he sent someone to contact this rare earth research institute was inspired by a local tyrant in his hometown in his previous life, who used the method of doping rare earth elements to produce incorruptible Go pieces, and he wanted to use this technology to produce high-end tiles, so some time ago, he tried to let Chen Ting and them contact this research institute.

Of course, it is impossible to say it explicitly, so Li Huayong can only tell nonsense, at this time he casually made up a story and grafted the main body of the whole story to a Western country, in order to explain his thoughts to Old Man Yan.

Li Huayong really didn't expect that he seemed to be very talented in telling nonsense, although he stammered when he made up the story, Old Man Yan listened to it with relish, and after he finished speaking, he was still there for a while.

"Are you saying that countries like Japan and Italy are really already using this technology to produce high-end porcelain?"

"This... I've actually heard of it, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Who did you listen to?"

Li Huayong stopped talking, and the next moment he showed his acting skills, pretending to be a little shy.

Li Huayong's acting skills seem to be equally good, after watching his performance, Old Man Yan quickly came to his senses, he pointed at Li Huayong and smiled: "Hehe, I forgot that your kid found a Xiangjiang object, which can be regarded as having overseas relations." ”

Li Huayong continued not to speak, continued to smirk, and said in his heart that it would be good if you could think like this, which also saved me a lot of tongue.

The old man's smile flashed away, and after he laughed, he was there again, and after a long time, the old man sighed lightly: "I really didn't expect that people have extended the research of rare earths to ordinary civilian fields." ”

At the old man's words, Li Huayong nodded sympathetically. Considering the identity of the person in front of him and the work he is engaged in, Li Huayong understands very well why he sighs.

As we all know, between military technology and civilian technology, military technology is usually ahead of civilian technology, and there are a lot of practical technologies, which are first applied in the military field and then popularized in the civilian field.

And the old man was originally from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, so his sigh is very understandable, take the rare earth that the two just said as an example, there is not much research in this area in China, and a few institutions like the "XXX Research Institute" are basically military units, and their research is mainly focused on the military field. Therefore, when the old man heard that foreign countries had been widely used in the civilian field, he would of course sigh.

That is, from the old man's sigh, Li Huayong had roughly guessed his intention this time.

After figuring it out, Li Huayong also sighed in his heart, and said in his heart It's really difficult for your old man, for such a thing, it is really a sin to trouble you to run in person.

"Young man, do you know why I came to you this time?"

After figuring it out, Li Huayong was in a relaxed mood, and he joked with the old man: "Elder Yan, first of all, I want to review with you, this time I did something wrong, I was too reckless, so you even ran away in person." ”

The old man was stunned: "Hmm, what kind of recklessness, what are you reviewing?"

"I shouldn't have sent Mr. Chen from Xiangjiang to contact the XXX Research Institute, but I should have gone myself, or through Director Zhang, they should go through formal channels, which should be the reason why you came this time, right?"

The old man stopped talking, he forgave Li Huayong up and down, as if he wanted to see Li Huayong through.

Li Huayong was furious by the old man's heart; "Old Yan, you ......"

The old man suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you kid," he pointed at Li Huayong and said:

"Look at your loyal and honest look, this is obviously a lie, you kid is clearly a delicate heart, not bad, like our Nanjiang people. ”

Li Huayong couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that your praise is fresh enough, and it's the first time I've heard such a compliment, but I like your statement.

Li Huayong guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, and Old Man Yan was indeed here for this.

Li Huayong, the XXX Research Institute, which focuses on the study of rare earths, also knew in his previous life that it was located in Nanjiang Province, hidden deep in a certain mountain not far from here.

Since our country established the basic line of "centering on economic construction," especially after the "million-dollar disarmament" a few years ago, the domestic military industrial enterprises and quite a number of research institutes in the field of design in the military field have had a very difficult time.

The degree of sadness is definitely beyond the imagination of many people in later generations. There are quite a few such units, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "unable to open the pot".

In fact, there is no need to explain, as long as Li Huayong understands these situations, and then contacts the identity of the old man Yan, he himself is from Nanjiang, if he suddenly heard some time ago, a few people from Xiangjiang suddenly ran to find the XXX Research Institute, saying that they wanted to find them to cooperate in the development of high-end tiles......

As long as this information is strung together, it is not surprising that he is here, because it is the only reason why he has come here in high spirits.

"Housheng, since you have guessed my intention, can you guess again, do you think I will agree to your request?"

At this time, Li Huayong had completely relaxed, and as soon as this person relaxed, he was prone to a hippie smile, and then Li Huayong said to Old Man Yan with a hippie smile: "Old Yan, you just praised me for being exquisite, and now I speculate with my exquisite heart, I think you will definitely agree, because all I can think of at this time is the reason for your consent, but I can't find a single reason for opposition." ”

The corner of Old Man Yan's mouth was already smiling, and he said to Li Huayong: "Isn't there a reason to oppose it?" Well, I'll tell you one thing now, you just said it yourself, rare earth is a national strategic substance, and the nature of your factory is ...... Okay, I won't say much now, now you say, although the Lin family in Xiangjiang is a patriotic overseas Chinese, what do you use to ensure the safety of these strategic materials. ”

Li Huayong straightened his chest, he stared at Old Man Yan, and said in a half-joking and half-serious tone: "Character, I don't have anything now, so I can only use character to guarantee, Old Yan, can you see it?"

"Your character?

The old man tried his best to pretend to be serious, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, and in the end, even he couldn't hold it back, so he had to pretend to wave his hand:

"If it weren't for the fact that what you've been doing in recent years is a bit of a rule, otherwise..... Hmph!"

The old man snorted again: "Okay, don't talk about this now, remember what you said yourself, remember to maintain your character, now you come and tell me, if I insist on disagreeing, how are you going to convince me?"

Li Huayong thought about it, he put away his hippie smile, slowly raised his head to stare at Old Man Yan, and then said in a sincere tone:

"Elder Yan, in fact, I did prepare a lot of reasons, but I don't want to say anything else, now I just want to tell you one, and I think the most important one. ”

"Oh, then you can hear it. ”

Li Huayong slowly pointed to the south with his hand, he was referring to his hometown in his previous life, which was also the hometown shared by the two people in the house:

"Elder Yan, you must know that there are many Japanese people who are active there now, and they are buying our rare earth resources on a large scale, not only from official channels, but also from many old watches privately. Not only did they buy, but they also handed over a very primitive method of large-scale mining, which you should know about the damage to the ecological environment that is almost irreversible. ”

Old Man Yan's face gradually became ugly, but Li Huayong didn't pay attention to him, he continued:

"Everyone knows that this kind of thing is very bad, this thing is very bad, but if you think about it carefully, in this matter, is the country wrong? Is the local old watch wrong? It seems that all are wrong, but it seems to be excusable, after all, the country needs foreign exchange, and the old watch who relies on the mountains also needs these rare earths to support his family. What should I do if I know it's wrong but can't stop it?"

"So what do you say?"

Li Huayong continued to stare at Old Man Yan: "Now I have a ready-made method, that is, let people like us also enter this industry, we not only sell resources, we also carry out research and development ourselves, I think only this road is the best way to protect our resources." ”
