"Yes, that's the work on NdFeB permanent magnets." Zhong Bai did not hide it, and said bluntly: "I may have mentioned it to the minister before, but the specific work progress is up to me, and now I am working together with Academician Xu Guangxian of the National Academy of Sciences, and I am also preparing to do experiments in the Ningyuan Rare Earth Metallurgical Plant in the mining area in the short term, and strive to start as soon as possible, and fundamentally reverse the unfavorable situation of the lack of high-end products in China's rare earth industry!" And this requires an adequate supply of rare earth concentrates, and at the same time, we have to find a way to cut down our competitors - that is, RB, MD and European laboratories, especially RB people, so we came up with the idea of building a rare earth concentrate plant in the north. ”

"Original...... That's it! Feng Kuanning gasped and sighed.

He had heard the name of Academician Xu Guangxian, and during this time, because of the foreign protest with RB, Feng Kuanning also spent a lot of time privately studying and understanding the reality of the domestic rare earth industry.

Of course, he is also very aware that in high-end rare earth products, Huaguo is still facing the dilemma of "zero breakthrough".

But I didn't expect that Zhong Bai, the little section chief, had been planning this big move from the beginning!

It is precisely because of this big goal that there will be a series of measures to restrict the export of rare earth concentrates, multi-party financing and the establishment of rare earth concentrate factories in the north!

It seems that this young man is not simple!

"Then when the RB reporter at the press conference asks a relevant question, you have to answer it well."

At this moment, Feng Kuanning's eyes when he looked at Zhong Bai were completely different from the beginning, and he faintly felt a sense of trust.

Zhong Bai still nodded very calmly and said: "Don't worry, Minister Feng, I haven't dealt with foreign reporters once or twice, I will strictly abide by discipline at the same time, and timely 'remind' those foreign rare earth industry that the days of our rare earth industry being slaughtered by others are gone!" ”

……

At 2:30 p.m., a press conference jointly organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry of China was officially held in the South Building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In addition to the reporters from the three major RB newspapers who have been waiting for several days, Huaguo itself has also sent heavyweight media - Xinhua News Agency, Huaguo Industry News and other relevant reporters have also been preparing for a long time.

Eagle-eyed people also found that the joint press conference also attracted media giants from two other continents, MD's New York Times and YG's The Times, as well as France's AFP!

If you want to talk about the specifications of the press conference itself, in fact, it has not yet reached this height, and the "New York Times" is of course found by Zhong Bai's relationship, and the three RB media are considered stakeholders.

But the arrival of "The Times" and AFP was still a bit unexpected by Zhong Bai, he originally thought that these Western media would be able to reprint the news, but he couldn't stand the RB Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been protesting for half a month, and it has successfully attracted attention in the international community - you must know that the RB media have rarely caught China on a certain issue in recent years, so these Western media reporters stationed in Beijing also temporarily applied for interview qualifications and came to attend the meeting.

The press conference was presided over by Lin Lijian, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was also known for his sharp words, but after he took the stage today, he put away his edge, but calmly explained the press conference process and handed it over to the comrades behind him.

First of all, of course, Xiang Pan, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, made a public interpretation of the Beiguo rare earth concentrate project; Then Feng Kuanning, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, clarified the export restrictions on rare earth concentrates between China and RB that occurred some time ago; The next link was a technical explanation by the project planning team of the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Plant, namely Ye Xing, Zhong Bai and Yuan Jianguo.

As for the final and most crucial Q&A session, it lasted for half an hour, allowing about 10 reporters to ask questions, and each of them should not exceed 3 minutes, of which no less than half of the RB media reporters should not be less.

There was basically nothing to say about the first two links, and the speeches of the two vice ministers were all excerpts from the pen of their respective units the previous night in combination with the contents of Zhong Bai's two special issues, plus the official statements on the matter from the perspective of their own ministries.

Therefore, the two deputy ministers only took 40 minutes to speak concisely and concisely, and to be honest, if it were not for the height brought by their appearance itself and the significance of representing the ministry, this matter would only need the chief of staff to come out at most, and not let the two deputy ministers appear.

But it can't be helped, you have to give some respect to the RB side, don't you?

Anyway, the RB Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been protesting for half a month, and even their foreign ministers have come out to speak, so they have to be more or less reciprocal.

Finally waited for Ye Xing's time to play.

He was extremely energetic, and naturally he was a little more confident than usual, and he took his position as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hello everyone! I am Ye Xing, the new director of the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory, and I have worked in the Ministry of Industry for a period of time, so I will introduce to you the basic situation of the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory......"

“…… As the first large-scale rare earth concentrate plant with tripartite financing in China, the goal of our factory is to build a new type of factory with international height and matching the production capacity and requirements of overseas markets. Not only did we adopt a new approach when we set up the company, but we also innovated in technology. The specific part of technology will be explained to you by Comrade Zhong Bai, a member of our National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, and I will focus on the way of tripartite financing here. ”

As he spoke, Ye Xing raised his hand slightly, and a staff member projected the slides that had been prepared on the screen on one side.

In fact, Ye Xing didn't expect this method, it was Zhong Bai who insisted on it, and he emphasized that this kind of introduction of sound and picture synchronization can convey more effective knowledge in a shorter time.

This is of course very common for 2020, after all, even any little-known small mobile phone company to release a new product, you have to go to Beijing or Hujiang to rent a large exhibition venue to play a huge screen PPT!

However, in 1983, at least at press conferences, the use of this operation was still very new, which also attracted the attention of many reporters in the audience, who picked up their cameras and snapped at them.

After all, I just listened to the speeches of the two leaders according to the script, and the official speech mode of one board and one glance made everyone want to sleep, and now when I see that there are slides, it is not just a good time to refresh my mind and clear my mind a little to facilitate the Q&A session later?

“…… These two photos are a true portrayal of the production environment of a small rare earth concentrate plant in Baiyun Obo before our national rare earth comprehensive coordination team went to the Baiyun Obo mining area. ”

"You can see that the environment is seriously polluted, and the average life expectancy of local workers has been calculated by the Mining Industry Bureau, which is 5.5 years lower than the national average......
