On May 24, Zhou You, on behalf of Shin Kong Paper, and the Jiangnan Provincial Government's first negotiation on the acquisition of Chenxi Paper ended in failure, and the conditions of the two sides were too far apart to be negotiated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJiangnan provincial government only agreed to sell up to 49% of the equity of Dawn Paper, and the price was much higher than half of the 2.2 billion price that Kumho had previously offered for the wholly-owned acquisition.

The floor of these negotiations was set at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and Liang Weifa could not do anything; After the failure of the first negotiation, whether to change the bottom limit of the negotiation and how to change it still needs to be decided by the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Of course, the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee will certainly not soon bring this issue to the Standing Committee meeting again to discuss, especially the provincial party secretary Shang Xueren has concerns about the sale of all the state-owned assets of Chenxi Paper to private enterprises, which will directly affect the process of the next negotiations, and perhaps the termination of the negotiations will not surprise ordinary people.

Of course, this will not affect the cooperation between Kumho and Gangnam Province in other fields.

In addition to renting office buildings in Jinshan City to recruit R&D personnel, Oak Park Jinshan Branch and Oak Park Jinshan R&D Center was officially established, and nearly 100 acres of land was purchased in Jinshan New District to raise funds for the construction of a R&D base. Although the scale of Jinshan Branch Park is much smaller than that of Jianye, it is still a large-scale R&D center in China in 98 years, and Jinshan Branch Park mainly attracts overseas engineering and technical personnel from Jinshan to return to China to work in the Hundred Talents Plan.

Under the impetus of Liang Weifa, the obstacles for Xinguang Forestry to promote the construction of industrial raw material forests to Jiangnan Province have also been loosened, but for the time being, it is far from being as smooth and dripping as in Donghai Province, and at this time, the negotiations with the Jiangnan Provincial Forestry Department on the transfer of the right to use barren mountain forest land are only limited to the scale of less than 10,000 mu, which is far from Xinguang Forestry's goal of 2 million mu of forestry in Jiangnan Province.

In late May, the flagship store in the core urban area of Jinshan City was successfully opened for business - Haitai also imitated the model of Shengxin Global Electrical Appliance in the core business district to open a flagship store in Jinshan, and the two flagship stores are standing on the Jiefang Middle Road in the commercial center of Jinshan City, which is only 200 meters apart.

Before the flagship store was officially opened, Shengxin Global began to plan to open three chain stores in other sub-commercial centers in Jinshan at the same time to ensure its advantage over Haitai.

The business model is easy to ignore, and the control and management ability of Haitai Electric Appliances cannot be questioned, but the resources behind it, such as capital, logistics, management, channels, information, and brands, are the real comprehensive strength to support the competition.

In the past year, Shengxin Global has received capital injection and financing support from Yuexiu Holdings, starting with the flagship store in Jianye Xinshi Street, boldly promoting the strategic layout of flagship stores in the core business districts across the country, and seizing the national high-end network of the home appliance chain industry.

More than two years ago, Zhang Ke and Ye Jianbin predicted that once the household appliance chain enterprises form a dense terminal market network, they can make manufacturers succumb, and the household appliance chain enterprises not only do not need to occupy the slightest capital for the distribution of goods, but can even charge a lot of management fees to manufacturers in the name of site management and site promotion. At that time, the promotion of household appliance chain enterprises only needs to provide basic funds for store leasing and decoration, and the speed of promotion will be greatly improved.

Shengxin Global has basically achieved this goal, and naturally it is not comparable to Haitai Electric, which has been in a corner of the East China Sea since its establishment.

In the current situation, although Zhou Jinyu is the secretary of the Jinshan Municipal Party Committee, he will not dare to take administrative resources to directly support the development of Haitai Electric in Jinshan. They all knew in their hearts that if they grabbed any more at this time, even if it was an inconsequential handle, they might lose even the last bit of parrying power.

Zhou Jinxi was treated conservatively in the hospital for nearly 10 days, and there was no sign of waking up, and the 516 task force jointly established by the Beijing Municipal State Security Bureau and the Procuratorate for the case of Mitsui Special Metals' agency in China suspected of corrupting state workers in order to influence the rare earth industry policy only took measures to monitor Zhou Jinxi's medical treatment, and there was no further action.

As for what kind of medical treatment Zhou Jinxi will take, it is entirely up to his family to decide, and even if the family decides to give up treatment completely, the task force is helpless -- the officials can always treat influential figures humanely.

Before Cui Wenyi came to Jianye, on behalf of the military, he listened to the report of the task force on the progress of the investigation of the 516 case, and now the Japanese side also intends to exert pressure on the 516 case, trying to force the Chinese side to give up the investigation of the 516 case and the detention of relevant personnel on the Japanese side, and everyone is very clear in their hearts that the results of the investigation of the 516 case will directly affect the trend of China's rare earth industry policy adjustment, and the electronics industry in Japan and South Korea will be directly affected, and the South Korean side is also paying close attention to this matter.

The situation is not under the control of those who have a heart, on the 25th, the Jiangnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reported to the provincial party committee after the implementation of shuanggui on Wei Chijian, secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, which is the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government since the beginning of May on the Xinhua News Agency reporter was detained to set up a joint investigation team to investigate the case of Tang Yingyu, Tang Yingpei brothers and the black hole behind the scenes of Huaxi Mining. It is precisely the illegal trade behavior of Mitsui Special in China that has connived at the frenzied theft and destruction of rare earth mineral resources in Zhangzhou. The 516 task force also went south to Jiangnan to investigate whether there was a direct connection between the 516 case and the Zhangzhou case.

This step in the development of things is no longer something that someone or a handful of people can cover if they want to cover the lid, Zhang Ke also stood up at this time and quietly watched the situation evolve in the direction he expected.

On May 27, Ye Jianbin invited representatives of the General Armament Department, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the former Ministry of Metallurgy, and the Rare Earth Office of the State Council to Jianye to participate in the report meeting on the market prospects of rare earth civil technology. Since the 516 case put everyone in the State Council's rare earth office in jeopardy, and the Ministry of Finance and Finance was abolished and merged in April's institutional reform of the State Council's ministries and commissions, the official representatives were mainly officials and scholars from the General Armament Department, military industrial enterprises, and research institutes of ministries and commissions, and Lieutenant General Cui Wenyi, deputy director of the General Armament Department, also made a special trip to Jianye to attend the briefing.

The 516 case and the Zhangzhou case can be investigated so thoroughly and thoroughly, in the final analysis, the most critical factor is also the military behind the promotion.

The R&D department of Donghai United Iron and Steel Group, Taite Optoelectronic Technology Research Institute, Dongda Rare Earth Application Research Center, Jianye Institute of Physics, Jinshan Rare Earth Research Institute and other institutions are the protagonists of this report meeting, which only involves the application prospects of rare earths in civilian technology, and will not look forward to the application prospects of rare earths in military technology.

Zhang Ke did not directly participate in this debriefing meeting, no matter how low-key he pretended, young people in their early twenties would always be very conspicuous among experts and scholars who were mostly middle-aged and elderly men, and even a little dazzling.

Cui Guoheng received an invitation quite unexpectedly, and also met Lieutenant General Cui Wenyi at the debriefing meeting, he already knew that Cui Yuman was Cui Wenyi's daughter, but it was the first time he saw Cui Wenyi himself.

Although Cui Wenyi, who is 59 years old this year, was born as a scholar and engaged in research and teaching work in his early years, his experience in the Second Artillery Corps and the General Staff Department gave him the fortitude of a soldier, his posture was straight, his eyes were bright, and he was also very good at technical matters, and he listened attentively to the special reports of many experts on the stage.

Cui Guoheng had many questions in his heart, except for him, there were no scholars in the field of economics at the scene, and he had not been notified in advance that he had come to participate in this debriefing meeting, and he had no preparations. He doesn't have much in-depth research on the rare earth industry, at most, Zhou Jinxi read some relevant information after refuting Zhang Ke and vomiting blood in class, which is far from research.

The host of the report meeting, Ye Jianbin of the chairman of Shengxin Global Electrical Appliances in Cui Guoheng's view should not be able to hit the rare earth industry, of course, he also saw that all this seems to be closely linked with Zhang Ke, a student of the National Academy of Commerce, last year Zhang Ke in Xuefu Lane and HG Samsung people clashed to take to the Malian Street Police Station, Ye Jianbin , chairman of Shengxin Global Electric, appeared at that time, and then left with Zhang Ke in a car. At the report meeting, the special report on the application prospect of rare earths in optoelectronic technology was the most well prepared, and Cui Guoheng was of course also aware of the relationship between Taite and Kumho and Deyi. During this period, many things around the policy adjustment of the rare earth industry seem to have started with the debate between Zhang Ke and Zhou Jinxi in the lecture hall.

Cui Guoheng is not a fool, although he can't see what is hidden behind the fog, but since he invited him over, in the end, someone will always tell him either partial or complete answers.

He had never imagined that rare earths and other dispersed metals would have such a wide range of applications.

A representative of the R&D department of Donghai United Iron and Steel Group pointed out that in the mid-70s, 10 percent of the steel produced in the United States was mixed with rare earth metals to improve the performance of steel, while the proportion of steel treated with rare earths by Chinese iron and steel companies as of last year was even less than 4 thousandths of the total output. Only four thousandths of the processing volume, the direct economic added value of 200 million, and the consumption of rare earth metal oxides at the current price is even less than 10 million, the use of rare earth treated special steel produced by social benefits is difficult to estimate, especially a certain military field can not do without this rare earth treated special steel. In addition, the application prospects of rare earth in other metallurgical industries are also very extensive, the key is that China's technology research and development in this area is far behind Western countries, and most of the key technologies of special steel have not been mastered and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

The chief scientist of the Taite Optoelectronic Technology Research Institute made an in-depth analysis of the application prospects of rare earth metals in new luminescent materials and optoelectronic technology. At present, the Taite Optoelectronic Technology Research Institute has successfully developed the application technology of commercial mass production, and the blue light diode chip is to add phosphors containing rare earth substances to the packaging material.

Although the current commercial application of Kumho blue light diode is still limited to the fluorescence source of the mobile phone screen, with the further development of commercial application technology, especially as a solid light source, it has obvious bright, energy-saving and long-term advantages with the traditional light source. The market prospect is very broad, and the Institute of Optoelectronic Technology also believes that a wide range of commercial applications will give birth to a huge industry.

Cui Guoheng seemed to have come to receive a popular science brainwash, and after the one-and-a-half-day debriefing meeting was over, he didn't know why he was invited over, and he rarely had the opportunity to communicate directly with Lieutenant General Cui Wenyi or Ye Jianbin, the organizer of this debriefing meeting.

Starting the afternoon of the next day, the tense schedule was relaxed, and the experts and scholars attending the meeting will arrange to visit and visit the famous places of Jianye, Cui Guoheng naturally has no need to go to the famous places of Jianye that he is familiar with again, and there are no people from the economics community who are at the meeting, even if the two professors of the Rare Earth Application Research Center of Dongda are not very familiar with him, and it is quite lonely to be mixed in.

After the noon banquet, Cui Guoheng stopped talking to Ye Jianbin and found him directly, saying: "There are still some things in the school, and the afternoon visit will be absent...... It seems that the application prospect of rare earths in civilian technology, if you ask me, a guy who only has half a bottle of water in economics, to listen to it, it is somewhat of a cow to play the piano. At the report meeting a day and a half ago, Cui Guoheng did not have the opportunity to speak, and it was really good-tempered to sit patiently in the audience and listen.

"Dean Cui, what do you think is the most serious problem facing the domestic rare earth industry?" Ye Jianbin asked.

"There is a serious imbalance in the development of the industrial chain," Cui Guoheng said without thinking, "the rare earth mining and smelting industry has made great strides in development, but the scale of the application industry in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain is extremely limited, and most of the key application technologies are mainly in the hands of overseas enterprises such as Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States......

"I'm a little puzzled," Ye Jianbin said, "Generally speaking, the companies that control the upstream of the industrial chain should have the most pricing power to get the most profit from the entire industrial chain, so why is China's rare earth industry completely passive?" ”

"On the surface, the development of the domestic rare earth industry in recent years is somewhat disorderly, and the phenomenon of illegal mining is serious, resulting in an increase in the actual supply of rare earth ores, we can effectively stop this phenomenon, at most to protect the domestic rare earth resources from destructive development, and reverse the current completely passive situation, but it is not particularly helpful for domestic rare earth companies to compete for the final pricing power in the international rare earth market......

"I want to hear about it." Ye Jianbin said.

"China's rare earth resources are mainly exported to Japan and South Korea, and the foreign trade model of Japan and South Korea has a very prominent feature, that is, super-large integrated trading companies occupy a dominant position in their domestic and foreign trade. Japanese and Korean rare earth demand companies purchase rare earth ores from the international market through the trading agents of their own general trading companies, and concentrate their scattered bargaining power in the hands of a small number of general trading companies. In the case of RB, Mitsui & Co. is the largest general trading company in RB, and it is easy to defeat domestic companies by negotiating the purchase price of rare earth ore with China's scattered rare earth producers on behalf of RB's rare earth demand companies. On the other hand, Mitsui & Co. has sufficient financial strength to carry out large-scale hoarding of rare earth mineral resources to regulate the supply and demand relationship in the international market, and then dominate the trend of rare earth prices...... Mitsui even wants to directly penetrate into the domestic rare earth production field through the adjustment of the rare earth industry policy this time. Speaking of this, Cui Guoheng's heart moved slightly, but he somewhat understood why he was invited over.

"Hehe," Ye Jianbin said with a smile, "I heard that Dean Cui had a very in-depth study of RB's comprehensive trading company model, so I thought about inviting Dean Cui to listen to Gao Jian...... In addition to General Cui Wenyi, Ye Zhenmin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, who has just returned to China, is my second uncle, will it be too solemn to introduce him -- Governor Li Yuanhu, Secretary Luo Jun, and Governor Liang Weifa who came from Jiangnan Province have all taken the time to rush over......

Cui Guoheng could think that Cui Wenyi would not make a special trip to Jianye to participate in such a professional technical report meeting, but when he heard the names of Ye Zhenmin, Li Yuanhu, Luo Jun, Liang Weifa and others, he was still taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "Do you want to copy the trade model of the RB general trading company in the rare earth industry?" ”

"It's not feasible, and you have to study it in depth and detail to know." Ye Jianbin said.

"There have been voices in China that have proposed to replicate the RB integrated trading company model, but by this year, this voice has almost disappeared in the central government, and Mr. Ye probably knows the reason, right?" Cui Guoheng said.

"I know a little bit about the fact that the general trading company, which originated in the Meiji period of RB, has developed into a multi-functional comprehensive international consortium with trade as the main body, industry as the backing, and finance as the link, and the economic framework of RB can be said to be basically supported by a very small number of general trading companies such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Marubeni, and Itochu Corporation, thus forming a large-scale industrial production system unique to RB. Since the 70s, many countries have copied RB's integrated trading company model, and HG has been very successful, giving birth to large conglomerates such as Samsung, Hyundai, and Daewoo in HG. Drawing on the advanced experience of others to develop the domestic economy has always been valued by the central leadership, so the central government also had the idea of setting up a comprehensive trading company. It was only after the financial turmoil broke out in Asia last year that almost all of the large consortia that had copied the most successful RB general trading company model fell into a serious crisis, and in view of this, the central government dispelled this thought...... Ye Jianbin said, "But Dean Cui, do you also think that the integrated trading company model has no merit?" ”

"My opinion is completely unshakeable by the decision of the central government, and now the mainstream economists in China are criticizing this model one-sidedly," Cui Guoheng smiled slightly, and said, "HG's large conglomerates are almost all in deep economic crisis this time, mainly because their methods are too aggressive, but this financial crisis does not seem to be able to completely crush the HG's comprehensive model economy......

Of course, Cui Guoheng also thought that even if the central government would have great scruples about replicating the RB general trading company model on a large scale, it would be necessary to replicate the integrated trading company model in the rare earth industry, which has a relatively limited absolute output value. In ninety-seven years, the foreign trade volume of the rare earth industry was only more than 200 million US dollars, even if the replication failed to have no obvious impact on the domestic economy, but it succeeded, the benefits were obvious, and even the domestic rare earth industry reserve resources could be used to achieve relative dominance in the international market.

Cui Guoheng realized at this time that there was such a big action hidden behind the rare earth incident during this period of time, but why was Ye Jianbin the one who threaded the needle?

Cui Guoheng followed Ye Jianbin with doubts to a small hall outside the report meeting of Jianye Hotel, which was decorated with golden splendor. Ye Zhenmin, vice minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and Li Yuanhu, governor of Donghai Province, who had not appeared at the noon banquet, were sitting on the sofa talking with Cui Wenyi, and a middle-aged man and a young beautiful woman were sitting on the side. Li Yuanhu said: "Dean Cui is an expert in the study of the comprehensive trading company model, I am a layman for the comprehensive business model, and I want Dean Cui to help me get rid of ......my blindness," said Cui Guoheng, "This is Mr. Sun Shangyi, the chairman of Hong Kong Yuexiu Holdings, and also the chairman of Zhongjing Microchip, and Miss Jiang Wei is the president of Yuexiu Holdings......

Cui Guoheng also felt caught off guard, he had not received any notice before, and he had not conducted in-depth research on the rare earth industry, saying: "It's a little sudden, and I can't say anything without preparation......

"When it comes to the two cases of 516 and Zhangzhou, some information cannot be provided in advance, and I hope you will forgive me," Cui Wenyi said, "However, the preparations in all aspects are relatively hasty, and this is the first time that everyone has gathered to talk about this issue, which is to brainstorm, since Dean Cui is an expert, we will first listen to the experts intuitively talk about the possibility of replicating the integrated trading company model in the rare earth industry......

When Cui Guoheng sat down, he heard Li Yuanhu ask Ye Jianbin in a low voice: "Will Zhang Ke come over in the afternoon?" His heart jumped, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and heard Ye Jianbin laugh softly: "That kid may not be free to ...... in the afternoon" That is Li Yuanhu and Ye Jianbin whispering, Cui Guoheng can't interject to ask anything, so he can only seize the time to sort out his thoughts and think about the problem that Cui Wenyi just threw at him: "Although the comprehensive trading company is still a trade-based enterprise model in form, the real comprehensive trading company has extremely powerful functions, including trade agency, production participation, financing services, warehousing and circulation, information consulting, scientific and technological development and other comprehensive functions to achieve the purpose of integrating the resources of the entire industrial chain......"
