So, without giving Xiang Pan any hint in advance, Liu Yujiang, who was recording on the side, suddenly raised his head and spoke.

"Minister Feng, I have something to say."

"You say." Feng Kuanning nodded almost subconsciously, because he was also very uncomfortable with this solemn atmosphere, and urgently needed someone to break it.

"That's right, the relevant comrades in our ministry and members of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group called from the Baiyun Obo mining area, and they have made a comprehensive assessment, and under the premise of reaching a consensus with the Industrial Department of the Autonomous Region, they need to immediately raise funds to set up a large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant, so as to standardize the management of China's exports of RB rare earth concentrate." Now that he has opened his mouth, Liu Yujiang is ready to take the blame, so he said stubbornly: "This is also the response of our Ministry of Industry to the upcoming protest on the RB side." ”

"What? You still want to raise funds to build a large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant at this juncture?! ”

Feng Kuanning couldn't sit still now, and stood up from the chair in an instant!

It is impossible for him not to be unaware of the possible consequences of such a measure!

Before, he was still thinking about whether to give the other party a "temporary measure taken by the relevant local departments" after the protest on the RB side came, so as to block the mouths of the RB people first, and then think about it in the long run.

Now your Ministry of Industry tells me that not only can this reason not be used, but also to set up a large state-owned rare earth concentrate factory?!

Isn't this a clear way to tell the RB people, "Yes, this time the incident was initiated by our Huaguo, and in the name of the country!" ”？

Crazy?

This is to prepare for a bloody storm with the RB people in terms of foreign affairs?!

"Minister, you have to give me an explanation! Why are you doing this?! Feng Kuanning couldn't hide his anger in his tone!

This is not his personal emotion, but a question that comes out of the seriousness of the situation and encounters an accident!

And at this moment, Xiang Pan was also stunned.

He was still thinking about how to euphemistically say Ye Xing and Zhong Bai's suggestion just now, and he had been thinking about it all the time, but he didn't expect Liu Yujiang to suddenly jump up and say it directly!

This Liu Yujiang, why don't you have any signs at all?

But now is not the time to blame his subordinates, because this matter is always to be told to Feng Kuanning today, after all, bringing Liu Yujiang over is to inquire about the news of RB on the one hand, and to talk about this on the other hand, it is impossible to avoid it.

"This matter was mainly raised by the two comrades of the coordination group, and the reason they gave was......"

Xiang Pan had no choice but to tell Feng Kuanning the content of Liu Yujiang's report to himself, that is, the reason why Ye Xing called him!

"RB's biggest dissatisfaction with China's rare earth concentrate export quota this time is not actually the measure itself, but because RB's domestic research and development of a rare earth advanced product called NdFeB permanent magnet has entered the most critical node, and they have temporarily increased the demand for rare earth concentrate, so they have increased the import quota of rare earth concentrate in the month before."

"In other words, the initiator of the matter is not us, but RB!"

"And this involves the international competition of high-grade rare earth products. According to the report of our relevant comrades, this research and development is also being done in China, and it is also at a critical stage, and it has formed a direct competition with RB. ”

"If we now promise the RB people to increase the export of rare earth concentrates to them, it will be tantamount to sending ammunition to the enemy, so the Rare Earth Integrated Coordination Group has taken various measures to reduce the export of rare earth concentrates in a 'clever' form, which will naturally cause a backlash and protest from the RB people."

"However, as long as our own R&D progress is accelerated, we can develop NdFeB permanent magnet products faster than RB people, and defeat them in technology and products, RB people will not only not fight back, but will bow their heads and beg our country!"

"Whether it was at that time or now, the enterprises responsible for the export of rare earth concentrate can not take the current way of scattering, but it is better to adopt the model of a large state-owned rare earth concentrate plant, unified production, unified export, not only to improve production efficiency, but also to trade with RB people without loss, to prevent internal price wars, but also more conducive to the country's further overall planning and long-term development of the rare earth industry!"

Xiang Pan finished speaking in one breath, unconsciously had a dry mouth, grabbed the teacup on the table, and drank two sips of tea in a big gulp!

In fact, this reason, of course, was Zhong Bai's thinking, but Ye Xing called the ministry.

Zhong Bai's understanding can be said to be different from the vast majority of Chinese people in this era, and it is also different from the foreign affairs department.

He has an extremely deep understanding of the nature of RB people bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, so he has this kind of thinking, and he has also confirmed it countless times in his previous life, that is, to deal with RB people, you don't shoot easily, but be sure to hit their dead hole before shooting, and then you will find that RB is not as strong as you imagined!

And it is precisely because this whole set of practices is rigorously logical and operable, and the relevant situation has also been estimated, Xiang Pan dared to explain it to Feng Kuanning in person!

After all, the meaning of this measure coming out of his mouth is completely different from the meaning of Zhong Bai's mouth!

He is the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry, which means that this measure is in the name of the Ministry of Industry!

Feng Kuanning's mind turned quickly, and he digested and analyzed Xiang Pan's explanation as soon as he could, and began to ponder!

So that's it!

This is not a whim, but involves a key product called "NdFeB permanent magnets"!

Feng Kuanning is not a science student, so he naturally doesn't understand this kind of rare earth professional term.

However, this does not prevent him from being able to understand the importance of giving priority to making "NdFeB permanent magnets" in Xiang Pan's explanation!

Feng Kuanning thought for a moment, and immediately asked: "Lao Xiang, I understand what you said, the key is that it involves the 'NdFeB permanent magnet', which is why there is this turmoil, right?" How sure are our relevant institutions and comrades in China about this thing? ”

"Or to put it another way, if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can withstand the pressure and buy time, can it ensure that our Huaguo's 'NdFeB permanent magnet' must be made ahead of the RB people, so that they can bow down?"

"Is it that after we ensure that we can build a technical advantage, the RB people will be relented?!"

Hearing these words, Xiang Pan's eyes lit up!

Obviously, Feng Kuanning accepted this explanation!

And the other party also immediately grasped the point, NdFeB permanent magnets! And asked the same question as when I received the report!

I have to say that to be a leader at the level of a deputy minister, everyone's reaction and logic are not far behind, and the ability to think about the essence of the problem is extremely strong!

At that time, when I was listening to Liu Yujiang's report, my first reaction was to ask the same question.

And the answer given by Liu Yujiang is......
