So much?

The leaders attending the meeting were very surprised.

Fang Hong continued: "It can be said that all countries in the world that can produce semiconductors, especially high-end chips, will have to stop if we do not supply gallium as a raw material." ”

The leaders at the meeting asked, "Can't other countries produce it?" ”

Fang Hong replied affirmatively: "If they can't produce it, not only are their refining technology inferior to us, but even if the technology is done, it can't be done, because it is also related to the problem of the industrial chain, and the reason why we can account for such a large proportion of output is due to our huge and complete industrial capacity and industrial chain." ”

"Lao Mei wants to get this thing, first of all, our refining technology is more than 10 years ahead of them, and secondly, they have to have an industrial chain of scale like ours, even if they are given five years, they can't make a complete industrial chain, and if they can't get it, it's not that the daylily is cold, but smelly."

The leaders at the meeting laughed, and after a while, the leaders asked: "If we take countermeasures from the raw materials, how much will it cost us?" ”

Fang Hong affirmed: "If it was before, there may be problems, but now it is different, it just so happens that there has been a major breakthrough in semiconductors recently, here I will briefly report to the leaders, we have broken through 32 nanometer technology, that is to say, the low-end of the old United States they can not get stuck in our neck, as for the high-end according to the current speed of advancement, in 2018 at this point in time, we will definitely be able to catch up with the world's most advanced level." ”

This made the leaders present very happy: "Okay. ”

Fang Hong continued: "We can achieve domestic substitution in the low-end, many key areas such as automobiles, such as the military, are mainly the pursuit of stability and durability, can not be too delicate, the mid-end is completely enough, so the loss can be ignored, there is no same." High-end products are now restricted to us, and low-end products we can do by ourselves now. ”

"In this way, we have the confidence to lift the table, he doesn't let us eat on the table, then don't eat the table, Lao Mei will either take the lead again to get a complete industrial chain by himself, and the whole world will mine, anyway, we account for 85%, and the rest is still in the Eguo people."

"As for germanium, we account for a little less, about 41%, which is also an associated mine, and Lao Mei has 45%, but why doesn't Lao Mei get it himself? Because he is associated with sphalerite, the mining cost is high, and our source is lignite, we have a lot of coal, so much production and demand every year, germanium is equivalent to a by-product of our coal production, so our production capacity can account for more than 60% of the world. ”

"More importantly, mining and production are two different things, not only to complete the industrial chain but also to a huge amount of electricity, and electricity is our forte, the world has a hand out to compare with us, we say second, no one in the world dares to say first."

"Speaking of antimony metal, we produce 80% of the world's raw materials, and the United States originally relied on us for antimony imports, and the importance of antimony is even greater than the previous two materials, because antimony is an indispensable raw material for the production of high-tech weapons and equipment."

"So, from gallium, germanium, antimony these stuck their necks, equivalent to choking his blood transfusion artery. Their inventory is not much, it has lasted for half a year, and it will definitely not be able to open the pot next year if it lasts to the limit. ”

In the end, after Fang Hong's discussion, the leaders present all understood, and they probably knew what to do in their hearts.

Fang Hong continued to participate in the meeting for about 20 minutes, explained all the problems clearly, and then ended the video conference.

It is worth mentioning that today's A-share market is very volatile, and it opened with a big dive in the morning but was pulled up again.

On Friday the next day, it was still a sharp fluctuation, and the specific trend came to a wave of reversal, which quickly rose in the morning and fell back in the afternoon to close an upper shadow line, and the index closed at 2057.91 points.

……

The action above was very fast, Fang Hong thought that the news would not come out in a week, but he didn't expect the video conference to be released two days later.

On Saturday morning, the relevant authorities officially announced that they would implement export controls on rare metals such as gallium and gallium and their compounds from April 15, and the spokesman said that the embargo control measures are not aimed at any country, and are relevant practices taken in accordance with international law.

Not against anyone, well, this classic international vernacular, everyone who understands it.

As soon as the news came out, it did not immediately cause much sensation on the whole network, because many people, especially the general public, are very unfamiliar with gallium, germanium and other things.

But it soon became the hottest news on the whole network on the weekend.

It turned out that less than 24 hours after the news of the export control measures came out, Europe, the United States, South Korea, and other countries had already made phone calls, mainly to inquire about the price and supply of the products involved in these two metal elements in China, with the aim of reaching more cooperation in this regard during the window period before the official export control.

It can be seen from various phone calls that their inventory is not much, and this directly makes the prices of germanium and gallium soar to more than 10,000 yuan on the same day.

It is also this news that makes the domestic public realize that the country's hand is a great move.

It seems to hit the other party's seven inches.

So the news spread quickly on the weekend, and it directly became a hot spot of attention on the whole network, and there were also gods who began to popularize science on the Internet.

Last year, Lao Mei began to suppress top domestic high-tech companies such as Xingyu Technology, and everyone was waiting to take countermeasures, and even complained about why they didn't take action.

After the country announced the export control of germanium and gallium, not only the West was stunned, but also the domestic public knowledge and big Vs were stunned.

However, the public opinion war on the Internet soon began, and a group of legs who received the dog food began to work hard, and all kinds of strange remarks also appeared, and the two sides on the Internet began to fight in the middle.

[Restricting the export of gallium and germanium is purely useless to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 3,000 at all, and there are also a lot of reserves in other countries, and they are not rare at all.] ]

[What are you doing in such a hurry upstairs?] I can see it, that is, every time we do something, you don't have to look at the reaction of foreigners, you just look at these stinky fish and rotten shrimp things in our house, as long as they are in a hurry to jump to their feet, it means that we must have done the right thing. ]

[Haha, the truth.] ]

[It's a classic uselessness theory again, can you change it to a new method?] ]

[Isn't this just coming, I just saw in another post that some dealers have been stocked for hundreds of years, and you are lonely. ]

[Dealers should have this stock, and if they don't sit on the ground, the starting price is sorry for this inventory (Erha .jpg)]

[I guess it's only a restriction for a while, and it will definitely be released.] ]

[It's okay for a while.] ]

[Chips only, there's no need to tear your face right now.] ]

[This is a counterattack, foreign countries are now ready not to sell our lithography machines directly, and we can directly ask them to release restrictions directly, they don't let go, we don't let go, are we stuck?] Come ducks, stick to each other. ]

[No wonder it bursts in less than 24 hours on the phone.] ]

[Self-inflicted, I don't really think I can't live without you.] ]

[Hehe, the whole body is left with a hard mouth, right?] 1 ton of electrolytic aluminum requires 2 tons of alumina and 14,000 kWh of electricity, and 1 ton of residue can refine a few grams of gallium, and the aluminum industry chain is basically saturated, that is to say, it does not make money. For example, you can't wrap a few tons of dumplings and buy dozens of large freezers for this little vinegar, right? Invest 100 billion to start construction for ten years and tens of thousands of workers, just for the sake of hundreds of thousands of businesses every year, the by-product aluminum can't be sold after the end of the business......]

[The aluminum industry is still domestic, and it is a complete one-stop, and America wants to build, not a factory, but a complete production line...... (Manual Funny)]

[In the past, the measure of a country's industrial strength was steel production, but now the measure of a country's industrial strength is the amount of electricity generated.] ]

[Although the total value of the restricted export of gallium and germanium is only 6 million US dollars, if Europe and the United States want to make up the gap of gallium and germanium by themselves, they have to pay a cost of 10 billion US dollars, and the only result is a gap worth only 6 million US dollars, but if they give up the use of gallium and germanium, then the high-end semiconductor industry will suffer a lot, and the loss can reach 100 billion US dollars, which is a bit lacking in morality, but I like it...... (Shiba Inu .jpg)]

[The problem is, I don't think they can build such an industrial chain with $10 billion, which is thankless and low-yielding.] ]

[10 billion US dollars can never be made, even according to China's work efficiency and price, the comprehensive cost of a complete electrolytic aluminum industry chain has to be more than 100 billion US dollars to build, this thing involves too many other industries. ]
