Academician Xu has no other itinerary in Europe, so he is ready to return to China after registration.

And Zhong Bai is on secondment, so he only needs to give the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, in fact, Xu Guangxian to ask for leave, so that he can continue to stay here.

He is going to Greece tomorrow to play with Yu Dongfeng because tomorrow will be the second court session.

In fact, as both sides continue to provide various evidence, and the lawyer team fights in various open and secret battles, before the results of the first trial, it is not much for this kind of transnational commercial litigation to be held more than a dozen times.

At the trial on November 4, the MD people took turns to attack the change of the main company of the patent registration before and after the name change of Baifeng Group, but they had the upper hand.

And the MD media who came to report on it naturally carried forward their usual "magnifying glass" operation, desperately advocating in newspapers and TV stations how much advantage they had achieved.

However, in Zhong Bai's view, these operations are really nothing new.

In the hotel room in Athens, Zhong Bai took a sip of milk to moisten his throat and said to Yu Dongfeng: "These MD people, I'm afraid they have stuffed a lot of money into the media. Judging from the intensity of the report, I am afraid that the cost of their investment in this area is much higher than the cost of hiring a lawyer. ”

"MD people have money, let them burn it." Yu Dongfeng took out his small notebook, looked at the data on it, and said: "Zhong Bai, what you said is really right, even if the lawsuit starts, the orders of these Greek mines have increased by 120%!" Jiang Xinpeng has scheduled the production period to April, and the group's expected profit has also been adjusted to 40 million, which should be very comfortable this year. ”

"With a profit of 40 million, do you calculate the possible losses in this lawsuit?" Zhong Bai became cautious instead: "Today, I communicated with the lawyers you hired, and they assessed that some of the contracts before the name change did have loopholes, and they may need to pay millions in compensation." ”

"A few million is a few million. Orders for mines in France have also increased, but now they are not scheduled, and this profit has not been estimated as expected, and there must be a surplus to offset the compensation. "Yu Dongfeng is now watching all kinds of situations very closely.

"That's good, I'm worried that you'll be tough and don't even want to lose a penny." Hearing this, Zhong Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Give them the little head, our goal is to end the lawsuit as soon as possible, as long as we win the lawsuit in Greece on the whole, it is very likely that the follow-up MD people will give up the lawsuit in West Germany and France." ”

This inference was not made by Zhong Bai casually, but after learning that the sales of automatic drilling and blasting systems in Europe in the past two months were less than 4 million US dollars.

The situation in these European countries is different from that of China, they will not be stupid to accept the automatic drilling and blasting system, at best, it is to buy some of the accessories, and repair, maintenance or something can also be topped with their own personnel, without paying the high labor cost of the MD company, so that in fact, it does not pay much, plus the cheap and high-quality Chinese plan is in front of you - several mines in Greece have already used some of them, the effect is of course no problem, and the cost performance beats MD.

In fact, if it weren't for the Cold War, the data and reports on Ukraine in Eastern Europe would have proved this a long time ago, and there is no need to prove it through Greek mines.

Unfortunately, in this era, any proof materials of the Warsaw Pact countries are invalid in NATO, which is a characteristic of the times, and even as strong as Zhong Bai cannot change it.

"By the way, where is our own rare earth metallurgical plant built?" Yu Dongfeng asked suddenly.

"Of course, the Baiyun Obo mining area is the best." Zhong Bai replied without thinking: "The supply of rare earth concentrate over there is sufficient, the supporting industries are complete, there is a concentration effect, and the comprehensive cost is the lowest. ”

"After the year, we will start working on it when the funds are available." Yu Dongfeng looked out the window with great ambition: "It's just...... This is a new field for Baifeng Group, where will the leadership of the factory go when the time comes? Jiang Xinpeng is doing a good job in Huaxi Machinery Factory now, and he can't do without him over there. ”

"What are you worried about this, I'm already starting to look for people now, there is a good person who knows how to do it." Zhong Bai replied lightly.

"Who? It can't be Academician Xu, right? Yu Dongfeng exclaimed.

"How is it possible to let Academician Xu do this kind of work?" Zhong Bai glared at Yu Dongfeng and signaled that the other party had no common sense: "It's that Mi Bin, didn't I mention it to you last time, seconded with me, from Hujiang Taiding Alloy Factory." ”

"Oh, it's good if someone chooses it." Yu Dongfeng scratched his scalp and asked again: "By the way, what did you tell me last time, what products will the rare earth metallurgical plant mainly engage in in the future?" ”

"High-purity neodymium metal, the prospective goal is to produce the permanent magnet material NdFeB."

"Don't you understand...... Yu Dongfeng shook his head and imitated in his Shanping accent: "Donkey kicking the shed?" I'm also a horseshoe! ”

"It's just that you don't have a culture......" Zhong Bai couldn't complain about it.

mentioned NdFeB, but let Zhong Bai go through the development route he designed again in his mind.

We all know that NdFeB is a rare earth permanent magnet material, and its main component contains neodymium among the rare earth elements.

1967, Dayto of MD

University of St

at et al., SmCo5 permanent magnets were successfully made by powder bonding, marking the arrival of the era of rare earth permanent magnets.

Rare earth permanent magnet materials are the third generation of permanent magnet materials successfully developed after metal and ferrite systems.

Since its advent in the 60s, rare earth permanent magnet materials have been developing rapidly, and can be divided into four generations according to the chronological order of their development and application: the first generation is SmCo5 series materials; The second generation is the Sm2Co17 series magnet; The third-generation rare earth permanent magnet is a NdFeB magnetic material successfully developed in the early 80s; The fourth generation is rare earth iron and nitrogen (Re-Fe-N series) and rare earth iron and carbon (Re-Fe-C series).

Of course, it is only 1982, and the fourth generation of rare earth iron and nitrogen (Re-Fe-N) and rare earth iron and carbon (Re-Fe-C) have not yet been developed.

The advent of NdFeB permanent magnets has injected new vitality and vitality into the high-tech field of rare earths.

NdFeB magnet magnetic energy product is high, regarded as the irreplaceable "king of permanent magnets" in the next 20 years, with its excellent performance is widely used in electronics, machinery and other industries, this will belong to the top of the rare earth high-end products, as long as it can be successfully manufactured and reach a certain degree of mass production, the profit is not in words can be described.

It is extremely difficult to succeed in the production of this thing, especially in the cutting-edge high-performance NdFeB, until 2020, the unit of high-performance NdFeB production is not the traditional ton, but the kilogram!
