Mi Bin, who was on the side, saw Zhong Bai coming, and immediately replied: "Academician Xu is recovering well, and now he can get out of bed and walk alone for two or three hours a day, and the doctor said that he will be able to use a wheelchair in two days." ”

"Great!" When Zhong Bai heard this, he almost jumped up with joy, and said to Xu Guangxian: "Your body is the precious wealth of our country, there can't be a problem!" As long as you can get back to work sooner, we can get our work on track sooner! ”

Hearing Zhong Bai mention work, Xu Guangxian was also quite pleased, nodded and asked, "Xiao Zhong, I haven't seen you in the past two days, where did you go to do something?" ”

Zhong Bai didn't answer immediately, but looked at Mi Bin next to him.

Mi Bin is also very sensible, knowing that Zhong Bai must have dealt with something important if he didn't show up in the past two days, and now he obviously has something to talk to Academician Xu alone, so Mi Bin said very interestingly: "Section Chief Zhong, then please accompany Academician Xu here for a while, I haven't eaten yet, go to the hospital cafeteria to eat." ”

"Hmm."

Zhong Bai nodded, and waited for Mi Bin's footsteps to go away, then gently closed the door of the intensive care unit, and sat down next to the bed again, his expression began to become serious.

For Academician Xu Guangxian, he has nothing to hide.

Zhong Bai took Yan Yutian for the first two days in one go, and invited Lao Guo from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau and Geng Dali from the Industrial Bureau to have dinner together, and reported the news he heard to Academician Xu first.

While the other party frowned and accepted this information, Zhong Bai disclosed all the plans of "pretending" RB people and sneaking into the office of Hitachi Metal Company as a dispatched employee to Xu Guangxian, and also told him all the details he was inquiring about inside!

"Xiao Zhong, you are bold enough!" After hearing all this, even the well-informed Academician Xu couldn't help but gasp, and he was stunned for a minute before he reacted: "Aren't you afraid that those RB people will find out your identity and go to the Foreign Affairs Office to sue you?" Don't forget that you are still an upright state cadre, how can you use such a means that cannot be used to inquire about the news? ”

Academician Xu's simple concept of abiding by the law and opening the door and taking the road is of course correct, but Zhong Bai did not feel that there was anything wrong with his approach, so he explained: "Academician Xu, extraordinary times must have extraordinary means. These RB people are usually monolithic, and the local ZF and units do not dare to inquire more about them, for fear of offending these RB people and causing setbacks in the export of foreign exchange earnings. But what they have done has really seriously damaged the interests of our country! If we don't find out what their means and goals are, how can we put forward targeted countermeasures to stop the loss of this batch of rare earth concentrates? You know, now in RB Japan, maybe Sumitomo Special Metals Co., Ltd. is in full swing to study the mass production method of NdFeB permanent magnets! As long as they take the first step, then we will be slow and slow, and in the end we will be completely trampled under their feet! ”

Of course, he also knew that Zhong Bai was loyal to rare earths, industry, and the country, but this method is indeed too risky, and it is easy to cause foreign affairs problems if you don't pay attention to it.

"Xiao Zhong, it's just that you disguised your identity before, from now on, don't go to work there again." Xu Guangxian said: "RB people are cheap and have to sell good masters, you have already found out so much useful information, if the section chief knows, I'm afraid I don't want to peel off your skin!" ”

"How dare he skin me? Hehe. Zhong Bai is confident in his heart, and he is not afraid of this: "Actually, we don't have to be afraid of RB people, there is another angle that can make them stop this acquisition." ”

"Oh? What is it? Seeing that Zhong had something to say, Xu Guangxian immediately asked.

"Do you remember what I just told you about the Hari Chaolu Concentrate Factory that came to sell concentrate?"

"Yes. What's wrong? ”

"The information of this factory, I went to the Industrial Bureau of the mining area to find Geng Dali, there are many small factories like them, basically they are polluting the environment and indiscriminately mining, which has not passed the audit of the environmental protection department, as long as the local ZF attaches importance to this aspect, and temporarily closes down and rectifies them on the grounds that environmental protection is not up to standard, you can achieve the possibility of cutting off the RB people from the source!" Zhong Bai came up with a plan that he thought was quite feasible!

"Eco-...... You're right, but will local ZFs really lose foreign exchange in order to protect the environment? I don't think it's easy to get the balance right, so it's better not to be too hopeful about it. Xu Guangxian remembered the previous incident of Ningyuan Rare Earth Alloy Factory because of the discharge of waste residue and the payment of pollution control fees, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Zhong Bai only reacted when he heard the old academician say this, yes!

After all, this is not 2020, the country's attention to the environment is far from reaching the standard of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" at that time, and now export foreign exchange is the most important indicator of local ZF at all levels, there is no one, if the amount of these foreign exchange is large enough, then the local ZF can give the green light to those RB clubs, let them buy, and those downstream concentrate plants, even if they discharge more waste water and waste residue, they will turn a blind eye.

Local resistance has always been a problem that is difficult for China to eradicate, and this problem is not formed in a day or two, and naturally it is not expected to be solved overnight.

Zhong Bai returned to his original idea, that is, to have a reasonable identity to emphasize to the local ZF leaders the importance of not selling these excess rare earth concentrates to RB people, in addition to the environment, there is also the purpose of protecting Huaguo's own high-end rare earth industry.

But how easy has this kind of persuasion, or warning, ever been?

Not to mention that there is no high-end rare earth manufacturing industry in Huaguo now, and NdFeB permanent magnets cannot even be manufactured in a factory in the whole Huaguo.

However, fortunately, he had just commissioned the "Mystery" magazine to publish the article "High-Performance NdFeB: The Most Magnetic Permanent Magnet Material So Far", Zhong Bai remembered that this matter had not yet been reported to Academician Xu, so he immediately took out his original manuscript from his bag and handed it to him.

"By the way, I forgot to report this to you. I wrote this article and have found the Mystery magazine through connections, which was published in the February issue of this year. Have you heard of Ornito Magazine? It is led by the Nanyun Provincial Association for Science and Technology, a very solid and good popular science magazine. Zhong Bai asked casually.
