However, now both the national rare earth office and the provincial rare earth office are not classified in the industrial mouth.

If Zhong Bai is not mistaken, the rare earth office should have been slowly divided under the raw materials department under the Ministry of Industry in the last few years of the 21st century.

It is not because the management of rare earths at that time was not important, but because after the 21st century, the management of China's rare earth industry has gradually normalized and has been on the right track, so the weight of this department has been reduced.

In the 90s, the National Rare Earth Office was directly subordinate to GWY, and the provincial rare earth office was also subordinate to each provincial ZF.

In the 80s, since the main task of the rare earth office was to coordinate production and export quotas, it was undoubtedly divided into the State Planning Commission and the provincial planning commissions.

This right of subordination is very important, and in order for any unit at any level in China to carry out its work, it must be clear about its competent authority and the scope of business that can be carried out, so that it can justifiably exist.

The planning commissions at all levels in the 80s were themselves detached beings, and their powers were astonishingly great, far from being comparable to those of such a specialized ministry as the Ministry of Industry.

As for Zhong Bai, even if he is now willing to investigate the RB enterprise office stationed in the mining area and dig deep into the real purpose of the other party's increase in imports by the end of the year, he is only a section chief of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, even if the identity of the rare earth research team is counted, it is still not enough.

If it weren't for the occasional hearing Geng Dali mention such important news today, Zhong Bai might have continued to focus on the small Ningyuan Rare Earth Metallurgical Plant, and took the time to investigate whether Qin Wenjiang had made any small moves during the time when Zhou Changqing was sick.

But now through the information obtained by chance, Zhong Bai immediately changed his thinking.

"If this wave of rare earth concentrates acquired by RB people in large quantities eventually flows to the large companies of Sumitomo Special Metals Company, RB people must hope to speed up the mass production of NdFeB permanent magnets, and then like in the previous life, the early layout of NdFeB patents, then this piece of China will still be suppressed for at least 30 years!"

In the room of the guest house, Zhong Bai lit a cigarette and frowned.

Academician Xu was sick and hospitalized, and the steps to speed up the production of neodymium metal on his side are bound to slow down, which also leads to the subsequent production of NdFeB will also slow down a lot.

In contrast, RB people are crazy to expand the import of rare earth concentrate at the end of the year, which means that RB people are much ahead of China in the production of NdFeB permanent magnets!

Of course, in the original world line, there is no Zhongbai, and RB people are destined to first study the method of mass production of NdFeB permanent magnets, and then register patents on a large scale, and harvest the rare earth industry in China in the next two or three decades with patent barriers.

But now that he has been reborn in this world, if he can't change this suffocating status quo, wouldn't it be in vain?

"I need to find a way to get in touch with the rare earth office, I hope they will pay attention to the crazy acquisition of rare earth concentrate by RB people at the end of this year!" Zhong Bai said silently in his heart: "Even if the progress of the production of NdFeB permanent magnets on our side is still lagging behind, if the supply of rare earth concentrate is released and the RB people have enough raw materials to experiment and produce, this battle will still be a complete failure!" ”

But the practical difficulties Zhong Bai had to consider.

As mentioned earlier, Tianhe Province does not produce rare earths, so there is no rare earth office.

As for the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Rare Earth Office, and even the State Rare Earth Office, they all belong to the Autonomous Region Planning Commission and the State Planning Commission, these two units are white-eyed, and there is no one who knows half of them, even if you are full of worries about the country and run over to tell people, oh, the RB people have a big conspiracy, and if we can't win this battle, we will suffer losses for 30 years?

Don't be funny, do you think that the section chief of a small industrial hall in Zhongbai will believe these words?

Not to mention the immediate measures to reduce the quota of rare earth concentrates for export!

Because this is also an important means for all localities and relevant departments to obtain foreign exchange - don't forget, the industries that can earn foreign exchange for the country's exports in these years cannot suddenly reduce exports because of someone's words, so that the country can earn less foreign exchange!

After all, Huaguo in the early 80s, and Huaguo in 2020, the demand for foreign exchange is one heaven and one underground!

After thinking about it, Zhong Bai felt that there was only one person who could talk to the leading comrades of the National Rare Earth Office the most, and that was Academician Xu Guangxian.

It is only through his introduction and referral that his suggestions and ideas are likely to be adopted.

But now, Academician Xu is still hospitalized for infusion treatment, and it is difficult to even get out of bed, how can he do these things?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhong Bai felt a sense of powerlessness, hey, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Qin Wenjiang for this guy, and he is going to have that kind of for his canteen noodles?

If you want to think about it and complain about it, it seems that it is the first priority to let Academician Xu recover first.

It doesn't matter if Qin Wen is unwilling to pay for treatment, as long as Director Zhou agrees, you can be removed from your position as deputy factory director at any time!

Because of the relationship with the city, and the fact that the cross-border phone call was determined to die, he could only go to the post and telecommunications office in the mining area at half past eleven in the evening, so Zhong Bai simply went to the mining hospital in the evening to visit Xu Guangxian on the hospital bed.

Unfortunately, after seeing Mi Bin waiting by the bedside, Zhong Bai found that Academician Xu was asleep now.

As soon as Mi Bin saw Zhong Bai coming, he immediately got up and asked in a low voice, "Zhong Bai, didn't you go back to the factory in the morning, why did you come here again?" What does the factory say? ”

"Similar to what I expected, Qin Wen will not admit it at first." Zhong Bai picked up the enamel cup, took a sip of cold white water, and continued: "Later, he reluctantly agreed that the factory should bear part of the responsibility and bear Academician Xu's medical expenses as appropriate, but what nonsense about no money in the account, I don't think this person has any sincerity!" ”

This is the first time Zhong Bai expressed his dissatisfaction with Qin Wenjiang to Mi Bin in person, Mi Bin stayed in the factory with Yan Yutian during this time, because there was no specific work to do, in fact, he didn't have much contact with Qin Wenjiang, and he didn't know much about this person, so he was still a little shocked after hearing Zhong Bai's comments.

"This ...... Does this Director Qin really want to clear things up? Mi Bin was a little anxious, after all, Academician Xu always showed his care and attention to the three seconded people, and when he heard that Qin Wen would not accept the invitation, he, a person who usually didn't like to talk about others, was also a little moved at this time: "Academician Xu only ate things from the canteen after getting off the bus, why didn't he admit it?" ”

"Forget it, there's no point in moving with him, and the leader of Ningyuan Rare Earth Metallurgical Plant is not him." Zhong Bai waved his hand and signaled Mi Bin not to get excited: "I will contact Director Zhou soon, if Qin Wen will take advantage of Director Zhou's absence, he intends to hollow out the Ningyuan Rare Earth Metallurgical Plant, I believe he has no good fruit to eat!" ”
