"Mysteries popular science magazine? I don't know much about this, I usually read papers and foreign scientific journals a lot. Xu Guangxian did not lie, saying that he had no impression of this domestic popular science magazine.

"It doesn't matter, this magazine is very good and very promising. The most important thing is that it has a wide audience, and its biggest advantage is ......" Zhong Bai smiled: "In addition to the most professional people like you, everyone else likes to watch it, including leaders at all levels." ”

"Really? Leaders also like to watch? ”

"Well, my personal opinion, sometimes give advice to the leader, we are formally planning a very scientific and professional article, the leader may not read it, one is that there is no channel, and the other is ...... If you say something that offends people, they may not understand it if you give it to the leader. It's not that I don't respect the leader, I'm just talking about it from the perspective of knowledge and professionalism. Zhong Bai and Xu Guangxian almost had no scruples when they spoke, and they completely thought of where to go: "This form will attract attention, after all, now that all kinds of publications are in full bloom, the big leaders above will also pay attention to the content of this best-selling popular science book from time to time." ”

"Of course, these measures to prevent RB people from importing rare earth concentrates are actually only a symptom, not a cure." Zhong Bai thought for a while and said: "The key is that we have to study the production method and mass production measures of NdFeB permanent magnets by ourselves, so that we can really compete with them and make RB companies feel threatened, so that they will not have the final say, and the pricing of these rare earth concentrates will not be as cheap as now, even if RB people want to buy, they must contribute more foreign exchange to our country, right?" ”

Xu Guangxian brought up the incident last time: "Well, you are right, you must treat both the symptoms and the root cause. By the way, last time you mentioned it, let me find a way to get you a reasonable identity, I want to think about it, in the case that I can't go back to the capital at the moment, I can only entrust one person. ”

"Who's that?" Zhong Bai asked immediately.

"Vice President of Jingcheng University, Comrade Chen Jiaer." Xu Guangxian said a name that was both unfamiliar and familiar to Zhong Bai!

Old...... Headmaster?

Although Zhong Bai is not very familiar with education, he knows what it means to be the vice president of Jingcheng University!

This is the vice-chancellor of one of the top two universities in China!

He must have the right to speak!

And Zhong Bai recalled it carefully, and only then did he pat his head, a little surprised!

I really almost forgot that Chen Jiaer, the vice president of Beijing University, is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a friend of Xu Guangxian!

Academician Xu was able to teach at Jingcheng University, in fact, he also had the credit of Vice President Chen, and the friendship between the two was actually quite a bit of "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water".

In his previous life, Chen Jiaer was also a highly respected, scientific and humble scholar.

Although Chen Jiaer was sent to a city in the southern part of the Qinling Mountains to raise pigs and close cattle sheds during the turmoil of the previous decade, he never gave up his pursuit of science, and when the turmoil ended in 1976, he returned to Beijing to assist in the planning of nuclear physics and acceleration facilities.

He later became the vice president of Kyungyang University, where he was elected president in August 1996, a position he held until December 1999.

In 1998, he was appointed President of the Federation of Asia-Pacific Physical Societies.

In 1999, he was appointed as the director of the Natural Science Foundation of China.

He is a great scholar who has devoted his life to science and education!

At present, since Chen Jiaer is already the vice president, he must have his channels to reflect the concerns about the rare earth industry raised by himself and Academician Xu to the country!

"So, how do you do this?" Zhong Bai suddenly saw hope and asked with some urgency.

"I'm writing a handwritten letter today, you find a time to go to the capital as soon as possible, give it to Vice President Chen, I'm sure he will find a way to help." Xu Guangxian's voice was not loud, but he was full of confidence.

"Good! It just so happens that I can hide them from Hitachi Metals for two days, and when these two days are over, I will find a reason to resign, and then take your handwritten letter back to Beijing University to find Vice President Chen! Zhong Bai made a decision and replied.

……

For the next two days, Zhong Bai continued to play the role of his "Koizumi Kotaro" dispatch employee, working in the office.

Zhong Bai stepped up his intelligence gathering, not only did he read all the information that Nishimura Mirai sent to him, but also tried his best to inquire about the contracts signed by other members and their next steps.

Even Zhong Bai seized a special opportunity, and at the same time inquired about the specific purchase plans, quantities and specific types of rare earth concentrates of the other two of the three giants, Sumitomo Special Metals and Mitsubishi Metal!

Coincidentally, it was impossible for a dispatched employee of the Hitachi Metals office like Zhongbai to get information about the other two.

But sometimes opportunities come so unexpectedly!

As mentioned earlier, the three giants are in RB China, so the competition relationship is just now, and you want to inquire about the information? There are no doors, and if you are found secretly doing it, you will be charged with wiretapping trade secrets and go to the RB local court!

But in the Baiyun Obo mining area, the situation is a little different.

Everyone is an RB person, and they are strangers in a foreign land, not to mention the natural closeness, let's just say that these rare earth concentrates imported by the three clubs must all be transported back to RB by sea through Jinmen Port.

As for the customs declaration, this kind of export rare earth concentrate is these RB clubs, almost all of which are fixed, and everyone must rent the same ship, so that the freight is more economical.

Think about it, they are all on the same boat, whose container has a few and how heavy each is, can this kind of thing be hidden from each other?

Therefore, although the parent company of the three giants is tense in RB, in this kind of foreign office, the private relationship between everyone is quite good, and it is not so taboo.

On the second night, it was time for the three giants to have dinner together.

Because you can't eat authentic RB cuisine here, and everyone is an authentic RB person, a fixed system has formed over time - that is, every other month, you have to buy your own ingredients and make a serious RB meal, what sashimi, sushi and the like to satisfy your appetite.

And it just so happened that on this day's dinner, it was Hitachi Metals' turn to be the east.

The location is in their office, and Zhong Bai has an extra heart.

RB people like to drink sake with a low degree of sake, but this kind of wine is basically not sold in Huaguo now, and the basic ones brought from China have long been sold out, and the wine bugs in everyone's stomach are gluttonous!

What to do? Zhong Bai volunteered, saying that he had "found" a rice wine with a similar taste to sake but a more mellow taste in the local area.

Of course, this kind of wine was also entrusted by Zhong Bai to Geng Dali, director of the Office of the Industrial Bureau, to find a way to get it, and it is indeed a special rice wine of the locals, and the degree is not high, but the taste is even better.

After tasting a bottle in disbelief, RB colleagues found that the wine was indeed delicious!

RB people, usually extremely well-behaved, polite and polite, but when you drink too much, then ...... Reveal their crazy nature!

Seeing that everyone is a brother in life and death, anyone can shout loudly and say out loud what they usually dare not say when they are drunk.

Even if I don't know you very well, as long as the wine is in place, I dare to answer whatever you ask!
