After the call was made to Zhou Chunxiao in the capital, he learned that the amount of rare earth metals supplied by the Sixth Dimensional Space Trading Company could be increased by 2 times, and he jumped up in surprise.

"Promise them, promise them right away! We want as many as they have, and we want as many as we want, don't care about the price of a few thousand kilograms! ”

Those rare earth metals are so easy to use!

Rare earth (rareearth) is known as "industrial vitamin". Today, it has become an extremely important strategic resource. Rare earth element oxides refer to 15 lanthanide oxides with atomic numbers from 57 to 71 in the periodic table, and 17 oxides with scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y) with similar chemical properties to lanthanides. Rare earth elements have been widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, textile, ceramics, glass, permanent magnet materials and other fields, with the progress of science and technology and the continuous breakthrough of application technology, the value of rare earth oxides will be more and more.

The atomic number of rare earth elements is exhausted, a variety of rare earth elements are mixed in minerals, many rare earth elements, because the density is very similar, the chemical properties are similar, the process of centrifugal and chemical purification is used, it is difficult to extract a single kind of rare earth element high-purity sample, and the rare earth metal with high impurity rate often does not have the real value of rare earth elements, so the price has been very low, the average is 15-20 yuan a kilogram, which is called "pork price rare earth".

The highest value of rare earth is the rare earth after industrial purification, and because of the high cost in the purification process, the price of high physical properties remains high, 3,500 yuan a kilogram is the price of cabbage, 1,2,000, 5,6 thousand a kilogram are normal, and those imported from abroad ultra-high purity rare earth. 1, 20,000 per kilogram is casual.

The higher the purity, the higher the value.

The first batch of samples and the first batch of goods provided by the Six Dimensional Space Trading Company, the rare earth metals in them, all of which were more than six nines in purity, were taken to some factories for use, and immediately produced huge results.

Such as a petroleum refining company. After putting a batch of catalysts synthesized with ultra-high purity rare earth metals into the smelting furnace, the energy consumption was reduced by 15%, the product quality was improved by 17%, and the comprehensive benefits were created by more than 1 billion yuan per year.

For example, an engine research institute used ultra-high-purity rare earth metals to produce a batch of superalloys, and applied them to engine blades, the overall life of the engine increased from 7,800 hours to 3,000 hours, and the engine quality almost improved by leaps and bounds.

There are also aviation rockets, superconducting materials, nuclear fusion generators. Ultra-high purity rare earth metals are all needed, and these aspects are precisely the weaknesses of Huaguo in the field of material purification, and it will take many years to catch up with the international advanced level.

But now, something crazy has happened to Zhou Chunxiao and other experts, there is a private trading company in China, which can supply rare earth metals in large quantities. And the price is not expensive, only one-third, one-fifth, one-tenth of the import price!

Even. Some types of rare earth metals are cheaper and more pure than those produced by domestic manufacturers.

Buy, buy in large quantities, buy like crazy! Huaguo is so big, one or twenty tons a week is not enough. Thirty or fifty tons is not much, and if one or two hundred tons are not used up, there is no loss there, in short, three words: buy, buy, buy.

After listening to Zhou Chunxiao's words, Major General Wu Menghui nodded again and again: "Yes, Old Zhou." We know what to do! ”

On the same day, the company received a reply from the military: it agreed to buy 30 tons of rare earth metal a week and accept a 20% price increase.

On the other hand, the gold of the 6D Jewelry Company is also selling like crazy.

The end of the old year and the beginning of the new year is the peak of wedding activities, with a population of nearly 30 million in S City, there are millions of couples who get married every year, and a large part of them are concentrated around the Spring Festival, so at this time of year, there are many people who get married.

And because the price of gold has fallen for two consecutive years, the international gold price has fallen to less than 240 yuan per gram, so there is a rush to buy gold.

Even though the seven-day discount has passed, customers who come to Liuwei Jewelry Store to buy gold every day are still crammed into the hall, the counter is crowded with customers of all ages, and more than 30 security guards borrowed from Shenglong KTV are struggling to maintain on-site order, 20 hours a day of business, and some customers still insist on queuing until 2 o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Wanting, the manager of Liuwei Jewelry Store, reported: "Mr. Lu, those customers have gone crazy, whether it is gold coins, gold bars, gold bricks, gold necklaces, they buy gold when they see it, we have to sell more than 400 kilograms of gold every day these days, and the sales are more than 80 million!" ”

In addition, Qiu Ziwen is in charge of the Liuwei jewelry factory also came good news, these days, several large jewelry enterprises in S City, such as Zhou Shengsheng, Chow Tai Fook, Lao Fengxiang, Lukfook, have sent a large number of orders to the Liuwei jewelry factory, an average of 500-800 kilograms of gold products per day, the market is in short supply.

Qiu Ziwen said excitedly on the phone: "Mr. Lu, the sales of this year's gold market are more hot than imagined in previous years, all the gold goods in the gold stores in S City are sold out, and there is a shortage everywhere. ”

Having said that, in fact, Qiu Ziwen also didn't understand a little, why Lu Wei didn't make a good amount of money, but instead provided gold to several competitors in large quantities at a price of 85% off, and provided more than half a ton every day, at a price of 30 yuan less per gram, how much money did he lose in total?

However, he did not dare to question Lu Wei's decision, everything has disadvantages and advantages, although Liuwei Group has made a little less money, but because of the recent sales of a large number of gold engraved with the "Liuwei" logo in S City, in a short period of time, the brand of "Liuwei" has been launched among customers in S City, which has laid a solid foundation for the future growth and development of Liuwei Group.

Lu Wei said with a smile: "Lao Qiu, look far away, those jewelry groups are also our customers, although we make less money on their heads, but the victory is large, not to mention, I gave them such a big benefit, in the future, there is no obstacle to the development of my Liuwei Group, Liuwei Group's leading position in the domestic jewelry industry, no one can shake it." ”

"Yes, Mr. Lu, or Mr. Lu thinks long-term, Mr. Lu says how to do it, we will do what Mr. Lu says!"

Qiu Ziwen smiled and patted his ass, as if he had seen the prospect of Liuwei Group dominating the domestic jewelry industry.

……

On February 15, Chen Long, who spent the New Year with his girlfriend Zhao Xue, returned to S City.

On the afternoon of February 15, members of the 12th Law Enforcement Team of the Martial Arts Alliance also returned to the S City Branch by plane, and Wang Hongchao arrived on the same plane. (To be continued......)
