Next is a brief speech by Meng Xiujie, deputy head of the district, as a representative of the local ZF, of course, he is writing faces, such as vigorously supporting the work of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, vigorously supporting the local rare earth concentrate industry, and providing good services for RB enterprises.

Of course, Meng Xiujie also knew that he was not the main force today, so after making the shortest three-minute speech in his life, he pushed the microphone to Ye Xing.

Nominally, Ye Xing was the protagonist of the meeting, as he was both a vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and a key member of the National Rare Earth Integrated Coordination Group.

Of course, only Ye Xing himself knew that all the plans were made by Zhong Bai, who was sitting beside him.

"Comrades, friends, about the production and export of rare earth concentrates in the mining area during this period of time, there are actually some objective factors, which are also related to the arrangement of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, so it has brought all kinds of impacts on your work, and I apologize to you first."

When Ye Xing took over the conversation, the atmosphere in the venue was obviously a lot more solemn, so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly.

"In view of the results of the comprehensive investigation of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group some time ago, it shows that almost all of the existing rare earth concentrate plants in the Baiyun Obo mining area have high production energy consumption, serious environmental pollution, and large price fluctuations caused by the large market impact of the production plan, which is not only not conducive to the long-term development of the local rare earth industry, but also not conducive to the stability of enterprises and workers, therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group decided to raise 20 million yuan in the form of multi-party funds. It has become a large-scale state-owned rare earth concentrate factory dominated by state-owned funds! ”

It's a short passage, but it's a huge amount of information!

As soon as these words came out, the venue, which was extremely quiet just now, immediately exploded!

Because except for the three heads of the RB Club Office who knew about this important event in advance under Zhong Bai's instructions, the rest of the leading comrades didn't even receive any news at all!

"The establishment of a large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant? So what to do with the equipment and personnel of so many concentrate plants now? "The person who asked this question was the director of the local labor bureau.

"The energy load in our mining area is already very heavy, and suddenly such a blockbuster news comes, how can the power supply keep up!" Of course, this can only be asked by the director of the power supply bureau.

"What is the proportion of funds for each party in this area? How much do we need to invest in our local finances? Not to be outdone, the director of the finance bureau of the mining area immediately asked.

“……”

The local officials in the audience had more questions than one, Ye Xing waved his hand again and again, and signaled: "Don't worry, everyone, I still have to announce some detailed information, as for the questions you are concerned about, after entering the Q&A session, Section Chief Zhong Bai will answer everyone in a unified manner." ”

Zhong Bai was beside him quietly observing the reactions of everyone in the audience.

Truth be told, the reaction of these officials did not surprise him.

After all, each has its own scope of work, and the work responsibilities make them have to ask, and the impact of such a large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant being established out of thin air must be staggering.

If you don't ask the questions you care about on the spot today, I'm afraid that in the back, these group members from above will turn their faces and deny people!

This is not because the grassroots comrades do not trust the cadres from above, but because in the most basic sense, no matter what kind of group member you are from the capital, after all, you will only go down to the grassroots level to deal with problems because of a special incident.

Once the work is over, what should I do if I return to the capital when I return to the capital? Don't you have to rely on them as grassroots officials to wipe their butts?

Therefore, the questions of these officials are very sharp, and they are all very core problems for them, and it is almost impossible to get through them with sloppy eyes.

Don't forget, there is also Zhou Shengli, the editor-in-chief of the "Mining Area Weekly", and the three heads of the RB Club office who were specially invited!

"Although the news of the establishment of this large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant was announced today without warning, its idea has been extended for almost a month." Ye Xing slowed down his speech, glanced at the three RB people sitting in the audience intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "And what happened during this month, everyone is also very clear, that is, it 'happens' that many RB offices in the mining area have increased the number of rare earth concentrate for export. ”

"Here I have to solemnly tell RB friends, as well as all the comrades here, that there is no connection between the establishment of a large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant and the reduction of R-side exports!" Ye Xing said with a straight face: "The rumor circulating in some RB media that 'reducing the concentrate of the R side is a premeditated act of Huaguo, and it is a means to further suppress the interests of RB enterprises engaged in the rare earth industry in China', is purely false!" ”

At the pace of '83, even officials of the Ministry of Industry would not have had to mention such things at such public meetings at the local level, let alone speak out against foreign media.

But this time Ye Xing did it, and this measure was not something he came up with, it was Zhong Bai's idea.

Because the competition for the high ground of public opinion has always been the weakness of China.

Not to mention 1983, even in 2020, when information and communication are developed, whether it is RB media or Western media, is there still less smear reports against China telling nonsense with their eyes open?

Therefore, this time, although due to the urgency of time, only the small "Mining Area Weekly" was present, some news was released on the spot, which is conducive to the follow-up Huaguo occupying the moral high ground in foreign public opinion - after all, this is not a closed-door meeting, but people from the three RB giants are also invited to the meeting.

To be honest, Hu Yanjun actually didn't understand this kind of operation at first.

RB people were already angry because they couldn't buy rare earth concentrate for nearly half a month, and now you call people here and tell him face to face, oh, we decided to take further measures to rectify the previous chaos, so we want to raise funds to open a large state-owned rare earth concentrate factory?

No matter how you look at this, this is all provoking the already popular RB people, adding fuel to the fire!

But Zhong Bai only briefly said a reason at that time: "The news that will be announced sooner or later, it is better to tell the other party from the beginning, so that both parties can have a tolerance in their hearts, and as for the emotions that may erupt on the RB side in the future, I have a way to deal with it." ”

A small seconded section chief dared to say in front of a deputy director, "I will have a way to deal with it", if it weren't for the fact that he had just seen Zhong Bai and Ye Xing's urgent suggestion and could get a positive reply from the Ministry of Industry in the capital within five hours, Hu Yanjun was afraid that he would not have scolded Zhong Bai on the spot for being a madman!
