It was Ye Xing who broke the silence first.

"Zhong Bai, it's a bit inappropriate to let Director Huyan take such a big risk alone in this matter." Ye Xing carefully considered and said, "In this way, I will immediately find a way to contact the ministry and see if I can confirm what you predicted just now." If I can get some definite news from the ministry right away, I hope that Director Huyan can consider the situation and take decisive measures! ”

Hu Yanjun saw that both of them took this information very seriously, and it was impossible for him to have no waves in his heart.

Except for the fact that two comrades of lower rank than him commanded him, Hu Yanjun had to admit that Zhong Bai and Ye Xing's overall view and analysis of the whole thing were remarkable, especially their innovative and eclectic thinking, which he had never heard of in his work!

Since the matter of Baiyun Obo mining area has been highly valued by the national rare earth comprehensive coordination group, as long as it is done well, Hu Yanjun not only has an explanation to the hall and fulfilled his responsibilities as deputy director, but more importantly, the long-term deformed rare earth industry base in the mining area has been completely changed, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Hu Yanjun knows this.

When it comes to the leading cadres at their level, the officers also have an important responsibility for the future development of the industry and the country, not only for personal interests!

At this moment, seeing that Ye Xing also took the initiative to get off the field, Hu Yanjun put out the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray heavily, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said resolutely.

"Director Ye, then please contact the ministry as soon as possible!"

……

Ministry of Industry, Technology Division.

Director Liu Yujiang had just received a phone call from his subordinate Ye Xing from the Baiyun Obo mining area, which made others a little confused.

For Ye Xing to become a member of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, and recently sunk into the mining area to carry out work, Liu Yujiang has always trusted him very much, and is very satisfied with the work of the other party recently, at least the first few times when he contacted the department, Liu Yujiang felt that Ye Xing had matured a lot, not only all kinds of work was carried out very smoothly, but also very down-to-earth and measured, and there was no feeling that the airborne cadres in the ministry could not open up the situation in a short period of time.

However, the content of the phone call just now made him feel like "Why is this all of a sudden?" "A strange feeling.

After hearing Ye Xing's description on the phone about the extreme protest measures that RB may take, and hoping that the ministry can give enough trust to Hu Yanjun, deputy director of the autonomous region, so that he can vigorously and resolutely set up a large state-owned rare earth concentrate factory as soon as possible, if Liu Yujiang was not a leader who has watched him grow since Ye Xing entered the Ministry of Industry, he would have angrily scolded the other party for whether he was crazy!

However, Ye Xing has never done such crazy things in ordinary times, and now the other party has to call his direct leader and ask for verification from the ministry, from this move, Ye Xing's own risk is indeed not small.

To put it mildly, if this matter is purely groundless, then Ye Xing's good impression in the hearts of the ministry leaders will be greatly reduced, and he himself will also take a lot of risks!

Liu Yujiang was entangled in his heart, and after smoking two cigarettes in the office and drinking a large cup of strong tea, he finally made up his mind and went to the office of Vice Minister Xiang Pan!

"What? Ye Xing and Zhong Bai reflected that RB will exert pressure through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prevent the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group from carrying out its work? ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiang Pan, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately put aside the documents in his hand and stood up with a solemn face!

Seeing that the deputy minister was shocked, Liu Yujiang did not dare to slack off, and immediately explained: "Yes." Minister Xiang, what I just said was Ye Xing's original words, and there was no exaggeration. He called the department and asked me to find a way to find out the relevant information through the department, so that they could take action immediately! ”

Xiang Pan immediately realized that this matter was not trivial!

Although it was Ye Xing and Zhong Bai under the Ministry of Industry who reacted to the situation, the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group itself is a temporary comprehensive organization established by various ministries and commissions, and its decision-making is also to be reported to higher-level leaders, and it is impossible for senior leaders not to pay attention to the news from the foreign affairs department when considering things!

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with China in the early 70s, RB has been in a honeymoon period now.

Except for the fact that the two sides have not reached an agreement on the territorial dispute over a certain island, and from time to time they have to shout friction through their respective foreign affairs departments, in any other area, the RB Ministry of Foreign Affairs has never protested on a separate incident in a certain area!

If this protest is indeed about to take place in the next two days, as Ye Xing and Zhong Bai described, then it is conceivable that the high-level leaders will definitely be dissatisfied with the recent work carried out by the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, and this will inevitably affect the direction of follow-up decisions!

Xiang Pan considered that since Ye Xing dared to risk his future being affected and call back, it meant that the matter had reached a very urgent point!

"I'll go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right away, and you come with me!" After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Pan grabbed the coat on the hanger and said to Liu Yujiang, director of the Technology Department!

The two ministries of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not far away, and they have arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs half an hour later.

When a ministry leader of Xiang Pan's level came, he was naturally not an ordinary department-level cadre.

He directly found Feng Kuanning, the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who is at the same level as him, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in addition to having contact at work, the two often exercise and run together or something, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.

There was no greeting, there was no cumbersome process, Xiang Pan came up and told the other party briefly about this matter, and then asked with a solemn expression.

"Minister Feng, has there been any relevant news from RB in the past two days?"

Regarding the establishment of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group and the adoption of a series of measures, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has naturally received relevant briefings.

Especially since the recent high-density and high-frequency reports of RB domestic media on the setback of rare earth concentrate imports to China, in the RB stock market, more than a dozen rare earth listed stocks, including Hitachi Metals, Sumitomo Special Metals, and Mitsubishi Metals, have plummeted to varying degrees!

In particular, Sumitomo Special Metals, which developed NdFeB permanent magnets, has fallen by more than 20% in one week!

You know, this was in the early 80s when RB was in its prime!

At this time, RB listed companies, as long as there are no major scandals or major accidents, even if it is a little-known small stock, it will rise all the way with the market, where is there a contrarian decline?

In the face of the collapse of the stock of Friends Special Metals, the parent company Sumitomo Group has dispatched 300 million yen to protect the disk, and it has just stopped the decline yesterday!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vice Minister Feng Kuanning have just grasped the news, and he knows in his heart that this must be related to the recent work carried out by the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, and is preparing to let the Chinese Consulate in RB collect some relevant information back so that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can grasp the dynamics, but he did not expect that Xiang Pan, the third-in-command Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately came to the door!
