Chapter 843: Three Strategies for Rare Earths
A black Toyota sedan is speeding on the way to the Golden Dome Club, one of the three major clubs in the capital.
Yuan Anmin lit a cigarette and groaned slightly. When Lu Jing summoned him last time, Ling Xueyue said very clearly, hoping that he would behave well and strive to be transferred to Qiye to stand alone. Yesterday, his appointment has come down, and there are faint rumors about the specific arrangements of the work, which is in charge of Huaxi International. Today, Lu Jing summoned him for the sake of work.
Yuan Anmin looked at the black briefcase in his hand. There were the materials he had prepared. He had a good conversation with Lu Jing for the first time, but he was directly transferred to Qiye as vice president, what if Lu Jing was satisfied this time?
Somehow, Yuan Anmin's heart suddenly swelled with some uneasy emotions. The Toyota car slowly stopped downstairs at the Metropark International Building on Chengfang Road, Xiyue District. Yuan Anmin smiled self-deprecatingly and thought, "Learn to become a martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family." ”
…
…
The private No. 3 small living room on the 51st floor of the Golden Dome Club is mainly in milky white style, rich Western minimalist style, dark red curtains are opened, and the sun shines through the window in the middle of spring morning. The murals, coffee tables, exquisite floor-to-ceiling round lamps, and flower bottles all glow with a shallow bright light.
Lu Jing stood at the window and smoked, he was waiting for Yuan Anmin to arrive. On the long gray and luxurious sofa behind him, Ling Xueyue sat elegantly in a loose dark gray coat, and said with a smile: "Lu Jing, you have a good relationship with the Xu family!"
Xu Yun Group also has a stake in Huizhou Rare Earth this time, which is obviously arranged by Lu Jing.
Lu Jing smiled and spit out a puff of smoke rings, and said, "I used to have some contact with Xu Zongfu of Xu Yun Group in Jianye. ”
Ling Xueyue covered her mouth and smiled. "I think Shi Zicheng had known that you would have this friendship, but I was afraid that I would be so angry that I would vomit blood." There has been news that Xu Xiangduo, the Xu family's adviser, will retreat to the second line in the near future. Reputedly. The Xu family's spokesperson has become Xu Zongfu. Shi Zicheng was "borrowed a knife to kill" by Lu Jing and didn't know it.
Lu Jing smiled and shook his head. Things were far more complicated than Ling Xueyue had imagined.
Ling Xueyue asked a little strangely, "What." Do you seem to have something on your mind? Didn't you clean up Shi Zicheng's gray face? ”
Lu Jing smiled: "Sister Ling, you will know the Tao in a while." It has something to do with Qiye. ”
Ling Xueyue nodded slightly, elegantly cocked her orchid fingers, picked up the Ruyao teacup with golden patterns and rich on the coffee table in front of her, and slowly tasted it.
After a while, Yuan Anmin, led by the beautiful waitress, walked into the living room with slightly faster steps, and said with a smile: "Ms. Ling, Lu Shao." ”
The order in which he greets is particular. He was recommended to Lu Jing by Ling Xueyue. He is first of all Mr. Ling's people, and then Lu Shao's people, and this order cannot be wrong. Otherwise, it is considered ungrateful.
Ling Xueyue said with a smile: "An Min is here." Have a seat. Yuan Anmin is a subordinate whom her husband appreciates, and her tone is more casual. If she politely stood up and talked to Yuan Anmin at this time, it would be unseemly.
Lu Jing bowed slightly, snuffed out the cigarette, and walked over to shake Yuan Anmin's hand. After a few polite greetings, Lu Jing took the teacup and muttered for a while, then got to the point and said to Yuan Anmin: "Your main job in Qiye is to be in charge of Huaxi International. I invite you to come over today mainly to talk to you about the rare earth industry. Our goal is simple: to regain pricing power in rare earth mines. You start by talking about what you think. ”
Yuan Anmin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's a big topic, but fortunately he's already done his specific homework. "I think there are three things that need to be done to regain pricing power. First, the three companies currently designated by the state, Huaxi International, Zhongbei Nonferrous Metals, and Huizhou Rare Earth, need to act in unison to form a price alliance, and only allow their respective prices to float within a small range. Second. It is necessary to severely crack down on private activities such as illegal mining and indiscriminate mining of rare earths, and ensure that the existing export volume and output of rare earths are within a controllable range. Third, Huaxi International, Zhongbei Nonferrous Metals, and Huizhou Rare Earth should establish a sound collection and storage system. We can't let rare earths flow into small private companies like Changxing Tongyu. However, all legal persons and companies that illegally acquire, export, or trade rare earth minerals will be punished with heavy sentences. ”
The last murderous sentence was very appealing to Lu Jing's appetite. Lu Jing nodded. Said: "In terms of outline, it is true that you only need to do these three things well. But. In reality, there will be various situations, and the actual work needs to be adapted to local conditions. Analyze the specific problems on a case-by-case basis..."
After discussing the details of the matter with interest for almost 2 hours, Yuan Anmin said with a worried face, "Lu Shao, the pricing power of rare earths may not be so good except for us doing internal things. When our export quotas are lowered, rare earth traders in the United States, Japan and other countries may provoke international trade disputes. ”
"Yes, it does." Lu Jing said with a slight surprise. Yuan Anmin has not been engaged in rare earth industry-related work before, and he can see this, and his vision is quite broad. It's a rare talent.
Indeed, as Yuan Anmin said, when the domestic share of rare earth exports is restricted, the United States and Japan will exert pressure on the international community to provide a share of rare earth exports. The problem is that the United States has rare earth minerals that they mothball but do not mine, and Japan buys rare earth minerals and stores them, but asks the Republic to export its own rare earths in large quantities at the cost of destroying the environment. This cannot but be said to be extremely domineering.
It should be noted that when the strength of capital reaches a certain scale, the final confrontation will not be a simple confrontation between the two companies. Politics and economics are not so clearly separated. For example, the anti-monopoly investigation commonly used by the European Union, the anti-dumping and anti-dumping measures in the United States, and the targeted tariffs of various countries on certain goods. This is a higher level of business confrontation. In the case of rare earths, in fact, the pressure exerted by the United States and Japan includes not only suing the Republic at the WTO, but also making rare earth export quotas a condition for negotiation elsewhere.
"This issue is coordinated by the above, and we will do our own thing first." Lu Jing pondered for a while and said calmly. Even if the rare earth trade is used as a bargaining chip, it must first get the pricing power. In this way, the chips will be weighty.
Yuan Anmin had worked in the ministry before, and he was very clear about the difficulties above, and said calmly: "Lu Shao, I will." ”
Lu Jing smiled and said warmly: "There is a long way to go to regain the pricing power of rare earths, and you will be responsible for the affairs of Huaxi International." After the shareholders of Zhongbei Nonferrous Metals and Huizhou Rare Earth are determined, the Ministry of Land and Resources will convene a meeting to unify the deployment of actions. Okay, when I'm down to business, I still have some personal matters to talk to you about. ”
Yuan Anmin was busy sitting upright, looking like he was listening. There is a principle in officialdom that the private affairs of leaders are often more important than the main ones. Although Lu Jing is not his leader, he can be regarded as a "nobleman" who promotes him, as long as he does not violate the principles, he is happy to do some personal things for Lu Jing.
Lu Jing waved his hand and smiled: "That's right." The economic crisis in South America is spreading, and after you arrive at Qiye, you can consider going to Brazil and Peru to buy minerals. ”
Yuan Anmin previously worked in the Second Metallurgical Group of the Republic and had an understanding of the country's ore layout, and said in surprise: "Isn't Yiye seeking an iron ore layout in Brazil?" Qiye will go in again..."
Lu Jing waved his hand, "Don't get in the way, I'll go back and introduce Professor Zhao Xiaofeng to you, he has a lot of experience in using financial tools to avoid investment risks." ”
"Professor Zhao Xiaofeng?" Yuan Anmin was stunned, and then smiled in surprise: "Then there is less trouble for Lu Shao." "Professor Zhao is quite famous in Beijing, although he is not a leading figure in the field of economics, but his level is recognized as a first-class standard. Idle people can't get to Professor Zhao's door. He was originally slightly skeptical of Lu Jing's words: the South American financial crisis has opportunities and dangers. Lu Jingneng invited Professor Zhao to refer to him for a reference or two, which was really good.
Lu Jing smiled and nodded, took a sip of tea, and after muttering for a while, he said, "There is one more thing to entrust you to do." I have a friend who asks you to help me arrange a job in Qiyeli. She doesn't usually work at Qiye, and occasionally goes around in the name of going abroad as a public dispatcher. ”
Ling Xueyue had a strange look on her face. How much is Lu Jing's net worth? With his financial strength, he could not arrange his friends there. How could he think of arranging for a friend to take advantage of the public. It's really weird.
Yuan Anmin was even more stunned, where did he think that Lu Jing would actually want to pretend to be public and private. Isn't this just eating empty salaries and traveling at public expense? Yuan Anmin smiled bitterly in his heart, and said slowly: "Lu Shao, I will arrange it." ”
Lu Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "My friend's name is Yan Shining, I'll go back and give her your contact information." She comes back to you to go through the formalities. ”
Lu Jing took in the expressions of Ling Xueyue and Yuan Anmin in his eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Actually, where are he and Yan Shining's friends. Instead, a very important figure called the eldest brother and asked him to cooperate with Yan Shining's work.
Last night, the eldest brother specially called him back to Jinyuan Villa to have dinner with the old man. After eating in the study, the eldest brother said, "Xiaojing, you need to help with this matter." ”
Lu Jing thought for a long time and said, "Brother, as a private enterprise, Jinghua is best not to get involved in these things. Even the subsidiaries of Hehua Company are not ready to get involved in these things. However, I can make arrangements there. ”
"Seven Metallurgical has a little less offices around the world." Lu Jiang thought for a moment and said.
Lu Jing said confidently: "I will promote Qiye to expand globally." When necessary, I will ask my bank to provide financial support for Qiye. ”
It is precisely because of this that there is now a scene where Lu Jing said these words to Yuan Anmin. Of course, he was not prepared to let Yuan Anmin know too much, so he first proposed that Yuan Anmin should preside over Qiye's expansion in South America. Global expansion naturally comes step by step. Then Lu Jingcai said that Yan Shining was appointed to Qiye. (To be continued......)
