"What's the reaction from the U.S. government?" After listening to the report of his subordinates. It's also a bit hesitant.

"At present, the White House has not officially stated its position, but from what I have learned privately, it is estimated that it will propose a proposal in Congress in the short term to consider sanctions against China." The American henchmen replied.

Fan Wuxi scratched his head and said with some sunshine, "Speaking of sanctions, that is, those politicians use them to scare the people, what impact can they really have on us?" In fact, the most important thing is to see what the position of those big conglomerates is. ”

The other party immediately replied, "In fact, Boeing feels that its market position has been threatened because of the recent discussion of the large aircraft project in China, so it has united some people to interfere in this plan, and probably their lobby group will soon arrive in Beijing." Even on the rare earth issue, Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed Martin on the American side have also actively joined forces and are ready to put pressure on China. ”

Fan Wuxi nodded, this situation is also inevitable.

Rare earth materials can be said to be the catalyst for modern military products, without this thing, many high-tech products can not be launched smoothly, so as the United States of America and the United States with the best fire companies with watches of Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed Martin found that the price of rare earths in the international market is rising day by day, the supply is getting less and less, is obviously worried.

Their joint repression. It's also to be expected.

In fact, there are also representatives of enterprises in various industries who have been dissatisfied with China's rare earth policy, such as Europe, the United States and Japan.

Rare earths, known as industrial monosodium glutamate, are widely used in wind power equipment, automobile exhaust purification equipment, precision instrument manufacturing and national defense, and directly affect the production of clean energy.

Although China is the world's richest country in rare earth resources, it has been supplying the vast majority of the world's use cheaply for the past few decades. As a result, China's proven reserves of rare earths have dropped from 43 million tons in 1995, accounting for 43 percent of the world's total, to 40 million tons today, accounting for 40 percent of the world's total.

However, since the beginning of the past few years, the integration of the rare earth industry has achieved initial results, through the reduction of mining points, standardized mining license management, etc., the price of rare earth has risen significantly in recent years, and the average price of praseodymium neodymium oxide in rare earth varieties is about 500,000 yuan/ton, up about 300% from the beginning of last year.

Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries seem to be a little caught off guard by China's sudden contraction of rare earth exports, the integration of rare earth companies and the sharp increase in prices.

In the past decade, the rare earth mining industry in the United States, Canada and many other countries has stopped due to the impact of China's cheap rare earth market. Countries with relatively rich rare earths, such as the United States and Australia, have basically not used their rare earth resources in the past five years.

Recently, however, China has been reducing its share of rare earth exports, and in the past year, there has been a lot of international concern about this, and now many countries want to reinvest in rare earths.

The U.S. Department of Defense has also raised the issue of rare earth security, analyzing whether there is really a risk to the U.S. defense due to the production cuts in China, a major exporter of rare earths, in addition, the U.S. Department of Energy is also studying this issue, and some government agencies in the United States hope to restore the rare earth supply chain in the United States through legislation, although it is not known when the specific plan will be introduced, but it is certain that this matter is underway.

The vigilance of American companies is relatively high. Being able to report these developments to Fan Wuxian in time as soon as possible, so that he can free up enough time to make arrangements, so that he will not be caught off guard by the other party.

After answering the phone, Fan Wuxi suddenly didn't feel much sleepy, he put on a blanket, sat on the sofa, then opened his laptop, connected to the video signal, and then began to call several people in charge of the rare earth project to learn about the overall situation of domestic rare earth production and sales.

At this time, it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, and several people in charge were in a daze when they were called, but when they found out, the company's big boss Fan Wuxian personally questioned him, and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, so they all seriously reported their work one by one, and explained the situation of rare earth exports.

After chatting like this, it was several hours, and by the time Fan Wuxi finished understanding the situation, the sky was already bright.

"When did you wake up?" Shen Ying also woke up at this time, and saw that the computer next to him was always on, and Fan Wuxi was sitting on the sofa with a blanket and was typing something, so he asked.

"Oh. That is, a little earlier, have you slept enough? It's still early. Fan Wuxian walked over and got into the quilt.

"Ahh

"The first important function of a wife is to warm the quilt." Fan Wuxi hugged Shen Ying and laughed.

The two of them tossed for a while, and the quilt arched, up and down.

When I got up and washed, it was almost ten o'clock.

Fan Wuxian took Shen Ying to the botanical garden on the top of the building, picked two loofahs, a tomato, and picked the ingredients crops, and then took two eggs from the refrigerator, and directly used the gas stove here to make a loofah egg drop soup, and after drinking it hot, this was comfortable.

"Is this breakfast or lunch?" Shen Ying asked.

"Whatever, as long as you're not hungry." Fan Wuxian said this, but he thought of his life in the university before he was reborn, when everyone couldn't fall asleep on Saturday morning, and they didn't get back to eat until noon.

Once, after drinking on Friday night, everyone slept in the dark, and when they woke up, they found that it was still dark, and the clock hanging on the wall pointed to six o'clock, so everyone thought it was still early and went back to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was still dark, so everyone continued to sleep until someone was so hungry that they couldn't stand it and got up to look at their watch, and found that it was already past four o'clock in the morning the next day. A dormitory of people actually slept for more than a whole day.

When they looked at six o'clock in the afternoon, it was actually six o'clock in the afternoon, but it was just early in winter, and they regarded it as six o'clock in the morning.

"By the way, I'll have to talk to your dad about something later." Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying.

"With whom?" Shen Ying looked at Fan Wuxian with a very unkind expression and asked rhetorically.

Fan Wuxi patted his head, "Hey, our dad!" ”

Shen Peiming's affairs are actually more than Fan Wuxi's, after all, the Shen family's immediate family is not many, but the collateral branches are extremely large, there are hundreds of relatives in China alone, and there are thousands of overseas branches, even if one-tenth of these people are in regular contact, it is a very terrible thing.

And unfortunately, Shen Peiming can be regarded as the patriarch of this big family, how can he not be busy?

When Fan Wuxian called, Shen Peiming was still a little surprised, but when he heard Fan Wuxian call his father, Shen Peiming still felt a little proud, and said in his heart, no matter how slippery your kid is, you still have to respect your elders obediently? Obviously, the role of raising a good daughter is sometimes more effective than mastering several consortia. Especially against a genius like Fan Wuxi.

"Oh, no disease, what's the matter?" Shen Peiming asked reservedly.

Fan Wuxi is also a little helpless against Shen Peiming, the old fox, he doesn't believe that with the connections of the Shen family, especially when he is in control of the rare earth industry, he will actually know nothing about the actions of the Americans? Obviously, the old fox was just holding his attitude.

However, Fan Wuxian endured it when he thought about it, and the white and tender daughters raised by others were given to him, and this gesture was still okay, so he said, "Recently, Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries are very dissatisfied with our rare earth policy, and there may be relatively big moves." For example, to put pressure on the government, to fight back against market monopolies, etc., we should do something now to silence them. ”

"Well, I've heard about this as well, but what do you have to do about it?" Shen Peiming didn't pretend to be confused, but asked very seriously.

Since the beginning of this year, the price of rare earth has risen sharply, and since the beginning of the year, the price of major rare earth oxides has risen to varying degrees. Among them, praseodymium neodymium oxide, the main variety of rare earth in the north, rose 300, cerium oxide rose 40, and lanthanum oxide rose 27; The main varieties in the south rose even more, with dysprosium oxide up 65, terbium oxide up 69, and europium oxide up 12.

For example, Jiangxi once had more than 1,000 mining sites, but now it has been reduced to 40, and the trend of concentration of large and medium-sized enterprises is more obvious.

Their integration of rare earths has gradually formed a pattern of separate control of resources and circulation fields, and the north has gradually formed a situation of comprehensive control from resources to circulation due to the large amount of rare earth resources and the small number of mining licenses.

"I mean, the conflict in this matter is definitely impossible to solve with mouths, but it is imperative that they are just silenced." Fan Wuxian said.

"How?" Shen Peiming asked.

"Of course, it's going to be numbers—" Fan said with a smile.

Even if the Americans are as strong as the Americans, they must have the actual data to be able to solve the problem through legal means, as long as the loopholes in this regard are plugged, at least the other party will have no legal basis.

There are no pop-ups
