"Today's incident reminded me. Comrade Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I think this is a turning point.www.biquge.info ”

Seeing that everyone's attention was concentrated, Comrade Jiang Cheng continued, "Nowadays, the mining of rare earths is basically carried out by state-owned enterprises, because the scale of private enterprises is not enough to reach the level of private mining and refining of rare earth minerals, and the state's control over rare earth minerals is relatively strict. ”

"Well, that's the reason, is it appropriate to just put the rare earth industry in private hands?" Although Comrade Shi Qingquan did not openly oppose this matter, he raised some doubts.

It stands to reason that the oil, coal, mining, and other resource and energy industries should be firmly in the hands of the state, otherwise, problems will easily arise and affect the stability of the overall situation.

Although the annual output value of the rare earth industry is not high, that is, about 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange income, but as people describe it, rare earth is the monosodium glutamate in the industry, if this important condiment is missing, will it affect the entire industrial layout?

Besides, how can European, American and Japanese countries, which are accustomed to enjoying the mainland's cheap rare earth exports, give up?

However, the temptation brought to everyone by about 150 tons of gold was too great, and even Comrade Shi Qingquan, who did not like Ye Kai, did not dare to directly deny this proposal, and at most raised some questions.

"Then there's the international reaction. This is also important. Some people also raised this question, "If Europe, the United States, and Japan oppose it, I am afraid that it will lead to many contradictions." ”

Everyone is talking here, Old Man Ye, Second Old Man and Ye Ziping, a family of three, did not speak very tacitly, just sat there and watched the changes, looking very weird.

After all, the cause of this incident was born by Ye Kai, so as a family member, he can not speak. It's best not to open your mouth, so that others don't think that there is any conflict of interest involved.

"What is Ye Lao's opinion?" However, the fact that they did not speak did not mean that no one did not attach importance to their opinions, so Comrade Jiang Cheng asked questions.

"I won't get involved in this matter, it depends on everyone's decision." Old Man Ye refused to express his position.

The attitude of Old Man Ye and others made many people feel puzzled, because this matter, no matter what aspect it is, Ye Kai can't take advantage of it. No matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.

Although the rare earth thing is a treasure, in the current situation. The degree of domestic development and application is relatively low, so it is helpless to earn foreign exchange through exports, but the export price is still relatively painful, which makes people feel like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it.

If you can get back about 150 tons of gold, then no one will feel that this is a loss.

Rare earth rare earth, although many people know that this thing is a good thing. But it is not clear how to do it specifically, especially these figures in the political arena, most of their minds are spent on intrigue and power struggle, and the understanding of rare earths is even just staying on "a more valuable soil", this kind of wrong understanding. Naturally, they were unable to face up to the true value of rare earths, and thus made wrong judgments.

In fact, for a long time, the rare earth industry has been chaotic. The phenomenon of illegal mining is serious, and the export value is low, which is inseparable from the understanding of the leadership.

However, it is not that no one objected, and some people pointed out that the Pingshuo open-pit coal mine was a very bad example, and at the beginning, the Americans said that cooperation was a good thing, and the Americans could leave behind the equipment and technical experience after digging coal.

But the fact is that the other party's mining capacity is too rebellious, and before the contract expires, the coal is almost finished, and the remaining equipment, although it looks quite powerful, has no great effect.

Based on the lessons learned in this regard, some people have suggested that although Ye Kai can agree to the proposal of exchanging gold for rare earth mining rights and export rights, there must be a time limit, for example, 30 years, 50 years? This is always a matter that must be settled first.

"Thirty years, fifty years is a bit too long." In the end, Comrade Jiang Cheng made the final decision.

Premier Yun, who attended the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee while ill, also said, "Comrade Hong Zheng is requested to handle this matter at his discretion and strive not to cause too much material discussion." ”

There is also a reason why Premier Yun said this.

In any case, the privatization of mineral resources, even if it is privatized within a certain period of time, is a very sensitive matter, especially since there are still many veteran comrades who still disagree with the mention of this market economy.

If the privatization of the whole rare earth industry is exposed, it is estimated that many people will start to talk about it, and it is worth noting that the demand for rare earths in Europe, the United States and Japan will also make this matter full of complex uncertainty.

So, no matter what you want to do in the end, low-key is still king.

"Since everyone has no opinion, so be it." Comrade Jiang Cheng said.

After the meeting, Mr. Ye was going to participate in a state reception, so he took a step first, and the second old man asked Ye Ziping about the causes and consequences of this incident.

"How could Xiao Kai have such an idea?" The second old man asked with some puzzlement, "What a good thing it is to leave one hundred and fifty tons of gold on me?" ”

Gold is not the same as other things, although gold is not pegged to the US dollar now, but in international trade, no one will refuse to accept the use of gold to pay, because this thing is a precious metal, all countries have to keep it as a reservoir to use, and the demand from the people is also very strong.

It is precisely for this reason that the central bank can be said to be salivating for this 150 tons of gold, and it is eager to pocket them all as soon as possible and put them in the vault for pressure.

"The specific situation, Ye Kai has a plan in his heart, and he didn't tell me in detail." Ye Ziping said in a low voice, "It may be related to some plans in terms of international strategy, this kid refuses to say too carefully, but he just said that it won't be long before there will be relatively big moves, which will surprise people." ”

"yes, if that's the case, that's a bit exciting." When the second old man heard this, he immediately became interested, "What Ye Kai is thinking about, it must be a big deal." ”

"It's hard to say big things and small things, but in my personal opinion, the current situation of rare earth exports is indeed not optimistic, rather than selling assets cheaply, it is better to integrate, Ye Kai wants to privatize the whole industry, it is not necessarily a bad thing." Ye Ziping replied thoughtfully.

There is another reason, Ye Ziping did not say it.

That is, as the country begins to try to join the World Trade Organization, the rare earth industry is also one of the important topics that cannot be avoided.

Now the actual situation is that although there is a certain research and development application of rare earths in China, the development of the whole industry is relatively slow, and the demand and demand level are less and lower.

However, foreign countries are far ahead of the application of rare earths, and what they need is rare earth products for the entire continent, and they will also require the mainland to completely liberalize the export of rare earths.

However, if they really follow their requirements, once the mining and export of rare earths are completely liberalized, then the country's control over the rare earth industry will really not be able to control it.

Thinking of the various strategic resources hoarded in foreign warehouses after being sold cheaply, Ye Ziping's heart felt a little uneasy, instead of selling cheap foreigners, it was better to let Ye Kai hoard them, even if he didn't need them, he couldn't make others feel better, and he used them to make cutting-edge weapons, which in turn were used to threaten the mainland's national security.

Although in this incident, Ye Kai sold more than 100 tons of gold, which seemed to have suffered a big loss, but this batch of gold, he also got it for nothing, so naturally he didn't attach too much importance to it, especially his assets overseas, the value of which far exceeded the price of this batch of gold, so Ye Ziping felt that his son's approach was also understandable.

But Ye Ziping still underestimated the importance of the rare earth industry, he is not Ye Kai, and he has no life experience in the last 20 years, so he naturally does not know how big the role of rare earth is in the rapidly developing electronics industry.

Ye Kai soon got the news that the top management had agreed to his proposal and would make some useful attempts to privatize the rare earth industry, which was also classified as an important attempt at reform, that is, whether the energy and resources industry could also introduce social resources and personal funds?

As a new and important topic, the privatization of the rare earth industry can naturally be done on a special basis, which saves Ye Kai a lot of trouble.

Of course, it is impossible for Ye Kai to come forward in person, so although he is the leader in this matter, the last person to come forward is the Nangong family, after receiving Ye Kai's call in advance, Nangong Yun flew directly from Germany to Mingzhu to meet Ye Kai to discuss how to deal with this matter.

However, when Ye Kai was actively planning the privatization of the rare earth industry, the Japanese side reacted, and the ambassador of the Japanese embassy in China urgently met with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that the Japanese government was seriously concerned about the changes in the mainland's rare earth industry, thinking that the mainland's cooking was incredible, and said that this matter would seriously affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"AIA is starting to be surprised?" When Ye Kai heard the news, he immediately smiled. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
