"However, you have to ask Deputy Director Ye Xing's opinion on this matter, right? In addition, even if he agrees, it is still a matter of two things whether the ministry will let people go. Zhong Bai thought for a moment and replied.

Hu Yanjun showed a smile worth playing, and said, "Hehe, I'm sure as long as he agrees, it is impossible for the ministry to get stuck." ”

Hearing Hu Yanjun's determined tone, Zhong Bai opened his mouth, but did not ask why the other party took it so accurately.

Obviously, Hu Yanjun still hasn't finished half a sentence, that is, since a deputy director of the ministry has traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the Baiyun Obo mining area to do this kind of thankless and huge risky work, it is definitely impossible to do it without the idea of Bo.

Even if Ye Xing is five years older, not only is it impossible to agree to the request of serving as the factory director, but even if he is willing to face the problem at the grassroots level after joining the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, I am afraid that the possibility is extremely low.

"I see." After Zhong Bai thought about all this, he nodded silently.

"Okay, it's not too early, Xiao Zhong, you hurry back and rest. It's not like I'm giving an eviction order, I've been asleep for more than an hour just now, and now I feel a little refreshed. Hu Yanjun said with a smile: "You have to communicate with foreign media tomorrow morning, and you also have to talk to the owners of local concentrate factories about financing, right?" Then I'll take advantage of the fact that I'm still in good spirits tonight, and I'll talk to Deputy Director Ye Xing after you leave. ”

"Okay, Director Huyan has worked hard."

This is very clear, Ye Xing's ideological work as the factory director was handed over to Hu Yanjun, and Zhong Bai did not grind, returned to the room and fell asleep.

……

At 6 a.m., when the alarm clock rang, it was still dark outside the window.

Because of the high latitude, it was late in the north because of the high latitude, but Zhong Bai had already washed up and hurried to the post and telecommunications office, ready to contact David David, a columnist for the New York Times who was far away in MD.

Following the last time he contacted the hospital for treatment for Director Zhou Changqing, the tacit understanding between the two has increased a lot, so this time, in addition to RB media, Zhong Bai's first Western media is the New York Times.

This point is exactly five o'clock in the afternoon MD time, pinching Zhong Bai to dial the other party's phone before getting off work.

"Hi David! I'm Zhong Bai, how is my work lately, your column should be very popular, right? ”

During this time, although Zhong Bai did not contact David directly, David has obtained a lot of domestic DWX hydraulic struts, as well as some academic content of Yuan Jianguo in the mining industry under the authorization of the other party, which can be regarded as his exclusive authorization, combined with the rise of a new round of industrial tide in MD China, the column has also been done in a good way, and there are quite a number of hardcore readers, David's work is also thriving, and now his monthly fixed salary has increased a lot compared to when he first joined the "New York Times".

And all this was thanks to the fact that his fortuitous trip to Greece came to fruition.

"Ah, it's Mr. Chung! Thanks to you, my column is constantly adding new content, and the response in the market is okay at the moment. As soon as he heard Zhong Bai's voice, David immediately put down his work and focused on the phone: "Is there anything looking for me?" ”

"It's a little bit. Are you interested in doing a special issue of All-M exclusive reprint? It can give you a nice bang for your buck! Specifically......"

Zhong Bai quickly told David about the special issue of the "Mining Area Weekly" about the establishment of a large state-owned rare earth concentrate factory!

Although it is a new field, David has grown up a lot over this period of time, and his sensitivity to the news has increased a lot, especially when he heard that the focus this time is in the rare earth industry, which will be widely used in national defense and high-tech new fields, he immediately stood up excitedly.

"Rare earths, I have heard this term many times in New York, MD seems to have a great demand for rare earths in China, this should be a very good subject!" David's voice seemed excited.

"Well, you're right, your MD has a great demand for rare earth concentrate, because at present, MD has not yet mined and produced rare earth concentrate on a large scale due to environmental protection, and it is also in competition with RB." Zhong Bai paused and continued: "How about it, if you are interested, I can introduce you to the editor-in-chief of this issue of the "Mining Area Weekly". ”

"Of course that's great! Is there a charge for this reprint? David was obviously still sensible, and asked how much it was when he came up.

"Well......" Zhong Bai thought for a moment, and wanted to tell him to charge 50% of the net profit of the current advertisement, but after thinking about it, this David does have a good relationship with himself, and he responds to requests, if he charges the same proportion of reprint fees as RB people, it will be a little too unkind, so he thought about it and said: "Originally, the reprint fee was 50% of the net profit of the current advertisement, but you are here, just give a discount and collect 40%, and the remaining 10% is yours." ”

"10% is mine? How does it work? Davy was ecstatic when he heard this, but after all, he hadn't done it yet, so he asked.

"Hehe, pay it uniformly, and pay you separately in the form of a service fee when the time comes. It's just RMB, not USD. "For the operation of eating kickbacks, there are any countries in any era, Zhong Bai is a little bit, I believe David should be able to figure it out.

But this kickback cannot be paid in foreign exchange, otherwise it will be difficult to send it to David, after all, this is an era when China is not willing to waste even a dollar of foreign exchange.

"Then, for specific operations and agreements, you first contact Zhou Shengli, the editor-in-chief of the Mining Area Weekly, and report my name, and there will naturally be a follow-up at that time." After speaking, Zhong Bai hung up the phone.

The second call was also to another old friend who had not been in touch for a long time - RB's president of Kobe Science and Technology, Taro Haneda!

It is said that at the end of last year, Taro Haneda listened to Zhong Bai's suggestion and found another way to collect patent fees in RB China, which made the club make a lot of money, and the former president retired due to physical reasons, so he jumped from the quasi-president to the president.

After becoming the president, Taro Haneda has expanded a lot in terms of influence and contacts, and naturally has many friends in the media industry, so when Zhong Bai didn't know RB's domestic media, the first thing he thought of was to find a way to make the special issue of "Mining Area Weekly" be published in RB's major media as soon as possible through Taro Haneda's relationship!

As soon as he briefly put his request on the phone, Mr. Haneda quickly patted his chest and said that he did have a few familiar veteran reporters in Tokyo, all of whom were covering the industry.

Although it is a completely unfamiliar rare earth field for Taro Haneda, but the recent news of the collapse of the stocks of several rare earth giants in the RB stock market, who is engaged in industry, has anyone who has not heard of it? So as soon as he heard that it was related to this, Haneda Taro immediately said that he could pull the strings, and he was very interested!
