Huaguo, Beijing, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Xiao Liu, is the venue for the joint press conference with the Ministry of Industry ready?"

Vice Minister Feng Kuanning looked at his watch, stood up and asked the secretary who was outside.

"I'm ready, now I'm waiting for the Ministry of Industry to bring someone to the minister, it should be in half an hour, and the press conference is scheduled for an hour." Secretary Liu replied methodically.

"Okay, you check the information sent back by the comrades of the embassy in RB today, if there is no problem, bring all the materials, let's go to the venue."

Five minutes later, Feng Kuanning left the office in a comfortable mood and went to the South Building of the Foreign Affairs Department.

It is the venue for the weekly press conference and one of the landmark buildings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It's nothing new to hold joint press conferences with other departments, but with the Ministry of Industry, huh...... This is really the first time in nearly five years.

As early as the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received the information transmitted by the Ministry of Industry - the original version of a special issue of "Mining Area Weekly" + a supplementary special issue, and also specially supplemented the relevant views and predictions of the Ministry of Industry on this matter.

Feng Kuanning still clearly remembers the words used to talk and laugh to Pan on the phone that day.

"Lao Feng, RB people can't toss this matter. Who said that RB people must be united? Now, according to the reliable information from our comrades at the grassroots level, the RB people stationed in the local area have begun to shirk their responsibilities, and the focus of RB's domestic attention, due to these two special issues, has shifted from the previous suspension of supply to the preparation and establishment of the Beiguo rare earth concentrate plant, after all, this is the source of their main rare earth concentrate in the future...... So, no matter what those RB reporters ask, the three major RB media have publicly reprinted the special issue, and I think the recent protest by the RB Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be regarded as coming to an end. ”

According to the latest news from the RB embassy early this morning, the effectiveness of the two special issues has been rapidly fermented in two days, and the influence is amazing!

In the stock market Nikkei, the stocks of the three rare earth giants all stopped the downward trend, although they opened low in the morning, they tended to stabilize, and as of press time, they also rose slightly by 1 percentage point!

This is commendable under the general trend that the stocks of the three rare earth giants have been falling for two consecutive weeks, and it also shows from another aspect that the release of these two special issues has a real impact on RB's domestic rare earth industry.

Even the RB reporters who squat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day have been reduced by half, and it is clear that the R side has received more information than Huaguo, and this information is enough to make the rare earth concentrate supply cut off slowly come to an end.

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China still received continuous written protests from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of RB this morning, the careful Feng Kuanning also noticed that the above wording changed from "China unilaterally took a series of measures to obstruct the export of rare earth concentrate to R, resulting in losses to R's related enterprises" to "China adjusted its industrial structure without notifying R in advance, resulting in losses to R's related enterprises".

The meaning between these two sentences is very different!

It at least shows that the RB Ministry of Foreign Affairs has shrunk!

From the beginning, it was characterized as an organized obstruction of exports by the Chinese side, which has become a "neglect" notice to the RB side in the context of industry upgrading, isn't this the rhythm of "from a foreign affairs issue to a technical issue" that day Xiang Pan said?

It has to be said that a crisis was eliminated by the preparation of a new state-owned large factory "Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory" and the opportunity of reprinting and publishing two special issues.

Feng Kuanning flipped through the list of today's joint press conference, not to mention the list of personnel provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and two names caught his attention.

One is Ye Xing, the former deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and now the director of the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory; The other is the section chief of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry who was transferred to the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, Zhong Bai!

These two people are responsible for today's Q&A on the construction of the factory and the technical aspects.

Ye Xing won't mention it, Director Liu Yujiang's subordinates, Feng Kuanning has already read his resume several times.

And Zhong Bai......

Although I read several reports about his previous trips abroad, and he did win glory for the country, Feng Kuanning always felt that this felt unreal.

A twenty-three-year-old young section chief, really has such great ability?

And Xiang Pan even revealed on the phone that the two special issues were basically from Zhong Bai's hands.

This is very shocking, Feng Kuanning also read the two special issues, in addition to the professional terms in which he can't figure it out, for the overall rare earth concentrate planning, measures and overall strategy of Huaguo in the future, as well as the declaration of the development trend of Huaguo's rare earth industry, its height is at the national level, far from what an ordinary small section chief of the Department of Industry can think of!

If these two special issues were from the old professors of the Huaguo Industrial Research Institute, it would make sense.

But it was written by a twenty-three-year-old young section chief, are you surprised by this?

Thinking that he would be able to meet this little section chief with a bizarre experience in half an hour, somehow, Feng Kuanning had a little excitement in his heart!

……

Sitting in the newly purchased Qua of the Ministry of Industry

On the tum car, Zhong Bai couldn't help but joke with Ye Xing: "Director Ye, you used to shout to me that there were no good cars in the ministry, didn't you even buy the latest car in West Germany?" ”

"you, isn't this what we bought after we Huaguo and West Germany negotiated to introduce a car production line in Hujiang?" Ye Xing seemed very natural: "Now the automobile industry in West Germany is very strong, and it belongs to the boss level in Europe, I don't know when we will be able to produce Qua in China."

The TUM sedan is a domestic car of this quality. ”

Last life, Qua

The tum car, which is the production line of the Santana car, will not be introduced to Hujiang until 87, but I don't know why in this life, the negotiation progress is three years early, that is, as soon as next year, Qua

The TUM sedan will be put into trial production in Hujiang.

Zhong Bai didn't dare to say that this was because of the side effects that his rebirth brought to the domestic automobile industry after being reborn in this era, but at least in the rare earth industry, he single-handedly broke the balance for many years, this is certain.

Just yesterday, after Hu Yanjun reported the entire work progress and related information, Zhong Bai immediately requested that he and Ye Xing could return to the capital overnight, hoping that the Ministry of Industry could join forces with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to organize a joint press conference, mainly for RB media.

The content is a summary of the entire rare earth concentrate turmoil, including the on-site Q&A session, which can be regarded as an end to this thing that has lasted for more than half a month.

After receiving the call, Vice Minister Xiang Pan immediately reported to the ministry, immediately finalized the matter, and asked the Autonomous Region Industry Department to drive the two back to Beijing!

So, after more than eight hours of bumpy night trains, Zhong Bai and Ye Xing came back like this!
