For the Baifeng Group, which is now desperate for profits, although Chu Juan's step will not play a big role, at least it will not hold back the group.

For a female manager who has never had relevant experience and has only been on the job for less than a month, at least Zhong Bai feels that she is already very good.

Before going to the library, Zhong Bai also specially found a post office to call Yu Dongfeng and communicated with Yu Dongfeng about this matter.

As soon as Zhong Bai opened his mouth, he told each other about the meeting and conversation between the two today: "...... Dongfeng, it seems that your kid had a good idea! Juanzi is very suitable to be this manager, so you can steal the fun! ”

"Heh, isn't that still your fault? It doesn't matter if you get people to come to the sky, and in the end, you have to rely on my brother to solve the problem. Yu Dongfeng was obviously in a good mood: "I was ready to lose 500,000 yuan in her part, but when you said this just now, I feel that not only can I not lose, but I also have to make 500,000 yuan!" ”

"More than 500,000? Do a good job as an agent of Armani, and you will earn in the future! Zhong Bai immediately gave a prediction: "At most two years, Juanzi will definitely be able to at least quadruple the profits of Baifeng Group in the clothing agency area!" ”

"Hey, your prediction is really bold!" Yu Dongfeng said with a smile: "However, the clothing agent is not the bulk of the group's profits, it is still based on the DWX series of single hydraulic pillars, and now foreign market orders have come one after another, but it is not as big as imagined, and it may take a certain amount of time to push it away." ”

"Really? How many orders have been confirmed? Zhong Bai didn't pay attention to the external sales of DWX products during this time, so he asked casually.

"There are still more than two months left in the year, and the orders that have been confirmed are about 4 million yuan."

"4 million is a bit less, how much is the estimated net profit?" This number made Zhong Bai feel a little bad.

"About 1.5 million." Yu Dongfeng was also a little apprehensive at the mention of this, and said: "You also know that there are many places to use money at the end of the year, especially when we hire a few foreign engineers, as well as these middle-level cadres of these factories who are poached, and promise them due treatment and year-end bonuses...... I've been thinking about how to use the remaining two months to make more profits. ”

This kind of topic can't be said on the phone for a while, Zhong Bai can only comfort Yu Dongfeng for a few words, then hang up the phone and hurriedly go to the provincial library.

In all fairness, it is not weak to be able to implement 4 million new foreign orders in more than 2 months.

But it can't stand the high-speed development goal set by Baifeng Group!

At the end of the year, the marble mining and processing plant will usher in a new wave of sales upswing, which is considered an off-season in China, but it is different in foreign countries, because Christmas is coming in the West.

And Zhong Bai's initial concern about the marble mining and processing plant being spun off and set up a separate state-owned enterprise now seems to be slowly subdued, he doesn't know what happened in the middle, but he is optimistic about this result.

After all, once the establishment of a separate state-owned enterprise comes true, then the procedures for Baifeng Group to deal with it will be much more troublesome, and the settlement funds also need to be paid in advance, which is a great constraint on cash flow, and cash flow is the most important influencing factor for a group enterprise that is developing rapidly.

When he arrived at the provincial library, he was still proficient in getting the library card, and Zhong Bai began to take it seriously and calm down, consulting the relevant domestic literature on the rare earth industry in this era.

But after reading a few articles just now, Zhong Bai's brows twisted!

Wrong!

It doesn't match his memory!

For example, the following "Analysis of the Current Situation of the Domestic Rare Earth Mining Industry in 1980" mentions that "at the beginning of 1980, China's single rare earth output was about 25 tons".

According to Zhong Bai's memory, at the beginning of the 80s, China's single rare earth output should be about 20 tons!

This gap of 5 tons is not just 5 tons, but 20% more!

What does this mean?

Zhong Bai immediately looked through other information, and as he opened more information, his mood gradually sank to the bottom.

"Something is wrong, why is the production of rare earths in this time and space 20% higher than the general in previous lives?"

Zhong Bai muttered to himself, and in addition to the higher production, the export amount has also increased in varying degrees.

The era of indiscriminate excavation and mining of the rare earth industry in China, and the era of exchanging resources for technology in the industry has come in advance!

This means that the rare earth industry will be more completely destroyed in the future, and the golden age of China's rare earth recovery will come later!

Under the trade-off, those developed countries in the West will not be merciful, they will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity of China to increase the export of rare earth raw materials to buy and hoard!

The more you buy, the less rare earth reserves you will have after the development of China's rare earth technology, and this alone is enough to make the development of many high-end technology industries lag behind for several years or even decades!

Thinking of that situation, Zhong Bai couldn't help but feel a little chill in his back, but now he just looked at the relevant domestic data, but he didn't get the confirmation of foreign data, Zhong Bai could only tell himself to calm down first, unless he saw that foreign capital also took corresponding actions to confirm his conjecture, otherwise all this was just a hypothesis.

There were still not enough foreign-related materials in the Tianhe Provincial Library, and Zhong Bai looked through it for a while and found that there were not too many valuable materials, so he dialed the phone number of Mr. Yuan Jianguo.

"Teacher Yuan, I'm Zhong Bai." Zhong Bai immediately cut to the topic: "Is there any data on the import of our Huaguo rare earths and the import of finished products in the past two or three years?" I need some research on my side. ”

"Rare earths?" Although Yuan Jianguo felt a little abrupt when he received the call, he thought that Zhong Bai's position was the head of the Mining Metallurgical Section, so he didn't ask again, but thought about it and replied: "I have to go to someone to ask about this, if you are not in a hurry, I will see if I can reply to you tomorrow." ”

"Okay. By the way, Mr. Yuan, I will go to Beijing next week to participate in a rare earth training class......" Zhong Bai remembered this, and reported to Yuan Jianguo by the way: "It is Professor Xu Guangxian of Beijing University who teaches for half a month." ”

"Academician Xu Guangxian?" Yuan Jianguo had an impression after thinking about it a little: "I heard that he has done an excellent job in the research of the rare earth industry, and the country also attaches great importance to it!" Then you have to make the most of this training! ”

"Well, then I'll wait for your reply, do you have the phone number in my office?"

"Yes, yes." After speaking, Yuan Jianguo hung up the phone.

Zhong Bai was not surprised that Yuan Jianguo knew about Xu Guangxian.

Because in December 1980, Xu Guangxian was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!
