Resource Tycoon Reborn

~.< Shuhai Pavilion >-~ Moli Science Company is not the only company that has suffered a headache due to the soaring market price of rare earths! Compared with Americans, companies in Japan and South Korea are undoubtedly more troubled!

The soaring price of rare earths is nothing more than a pain for Americans who have considerable rare earth reserves! After all, if the market price of rare earths is too high, at worst they will have to reopen the mines! It only takes a few short years.

In a few years, the United States will be completely self-sufficient in the production of rare earths! It can even export them!

However, Japan and South Korea, due to their small land area and limited mineral resources, are completely dependent on imports of rare earths and are more sensitive to fluctuations in rare earth market prices.

In the past, China's rare earth industry had a scattered layout, extensive development and management, and low industry entry barriers. At most, there were thousands of mining, smelting and separation companies and small workshops built by state-owned, collective, and private parties across the country. These companies competed for exports to earn foreign exchange.

The relative low prices have resulted in low overall rare earth prices. We have resources but no pricing power in the international market. This is the biggest embarrassment faced by China's rare earth industry. It is also the result that these foreign companies that import rare earths are most happy to see!

Although in recent years, both countries have imported excessive amounts of rare earths from China for storage, but for materials of strategic significance like rare earths, no amount of reserves is too much! So when China exports rare earths

When companies raise market prices one after another, the impact on companies in Japan and South Korea is undoubtedly the strongest!

Therefore, people in the political and economic circles of the two countries reacted the fastest. Sato Yinyo, head of the rare earth department of Japan's Mitsui & Co., publicly stated in an interview with the "Asahi Shimbun" that the soaring price of China's rare earth exports is an "invisible problem" faced by the Japanese industry.

"Tsunami". This move will seriously affect many industries in Japan and threaten its economy and "national security." Sato Yinyang also called on Japanese companies that need to import rare earths to unite and collectively put pressure on China to force

They accept "reasonable" prices!

"We must severely crack down on the price increase trend of the Chinese people! It must be fast! It must be accurate! It must be ruthless! They must not let them have any luck!" Sato's eyes flashed with a fierce light behind his yin-yang glasses.

Looking at the several people here gnashing their teeth, as the head of the rare earth department of Japan's Mitsui & Co., he naturally knows how important rare earths are to the development of Japanese industry. Although, in recent years, Mitsui & Co. has been

They are all over-purchasing rare earths. However, the current reserves can only be used by the company and its affiliated enterprises for five years under normal circumstances!

Five years of usage reserves may sound like a lot, but Sato Yin Yang knows very well that with Japan's economic development, exports to China have increased significantly every year, and the use of rare earths is also increasing every year. Moreover,

With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, rare earths have more and more uses. This mere five-year use reserve is really not much for Japan's Mitsui & Co.!

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most beneficial for Japan to keep China's rare earth industry at the lowest level, which can only provide raw materials or the most elementary products for cheap exports!

This time, I don’t know what the wrong medicine was taken by the British company Severe Import and Export. It actually purchased rare earths at 1,200% of the market price, completely disrupting the "normal price order" of the international rare earth market.

Japan's Mitsui & Co. once officially sent a letter to the British company Severe Import and Export to inquire about this matter. However, the British company's answer was unclear and it was completely impossible to understand why they would buy from Huaxin Mining at such an outrageous price.

Rare earth.

No matter how dizzy the British Severy Import and Export Company is, things have happened, and Sato Yin Yang can only face reality!

The outrageous purchase price of the British Severy Import and Export Company and the subsequent statement of Huaxin Mining to reduce production next year caused China's rare earth export companies to generally increase the quotations of their own products! The rare earth department of Japan's Mitsui & Co., Ltd. also has several cooperation partners in China.

Rare earth companies, this time, these rare earth companies are no exception. Although they have not officially submitted a quotation to Mitsui & Co., there are already rumors. Today, the price of rare earths will be greatly increased!

This makes Sato Yinyo, who should be very likely to be promoted next year based on his qualifications, feel extremely dissatisfied!

"I very much agree with Mr. Sato's idea. Regarding the unrealistic idea of ​​China Rare Earth Export Company, we have the responsibility to make these arrogant men and women understand better. There are no resources and no market pricing power. There is no such thing.

Use it!" A middle-aged bald Japanese man sitting under Sato Yin Yang frowned and said, "It's just, Sato-kun, can you explain more clearly what we need to do to make China Rare Earth Company get the real results?

Lesson learned!” The person who spoke was Shindo Madara, head of the rare earth import department of Japan’s Fuji Group.

"Yes,~~--Net.Updated first release~~Shinto-kun is right! If Sato-kun has any good ideas, you might as well say it more clearly!" Others present also agreed one after another.

road.

"Initially, what we wanted to do was to protest to the Chinese government! Ask the Chinese government to rectify the domestic rare earth industry and maintain the normal order of rare earth production and export! Certain companies that disrupt the normal order of the market must be severely punished! As we all know, in China,

The power held by the government is very large, and it is not subject to sufficient supervision. In our opinion, this should be enough!" Sato Yinyang said, "Those officials in China are the most disrespectful to companies that do not obey their orders.

Like it!”

"Yes!" Everyone present nodded slightly. Sato Yin Yang's approach was not beyond their expectations.

"What's the result?" Shinto Matiao asked.

"We have contacted officials from the department that manages rare earth production and export in Beijing, but the news that came back is not optimistic. Although those officials are not polite at all when eating and drinking, and they are not soft at all when taking money, but when it comes to

At this point, everyone just shakes their head and refuses!" Sato said bitterly.

"Why? Could it be that the Chinese government has recently issued any new regulations on the domestic rare earth industry?" Someone frowned and said, "But haven't you heard any news?"

"They all said that the recent increase in rare earth prices by China's major rare earth export companies is entirely the market behavior of the companies and determined by market demand. If the British Severy Import and Export Company did not buy at a high price, if Huaxin

If the mining industry does not reduce the export volume of rare earths next year, the price of rare earths will not increase. This is just like the international market price of oil, which is also constantly fluctuating. The Chinese government cannot force these companies to reduce prices with administrative orders!" Sato Onmyo said.

"Baga!" Before Sato Yin Yang finished speaking, someone had already cursed softly, "How can rare earths be compared with oil? How many countries are supplying oil to the world? And currently, 97% of the international rare earth market is

It is supplied by China! By suddenly doubling the price of rare earths, they clearly intend to monopolize the international rare earth market! They are blocking the economic development of countries around the world! Moreover, they are currently in the Asian financial crisis. Their behavior is clearly

They are taking advantage of the fire! Their behavior must be dealt with severely!"

"Yes, that's good!" Sato Yinyang stood up and said, "This time, the Chinese government stood on the side of its own people. This is a bit surprising, but I think as long as all of us

Let’s work together and unite with other countries in the world to boycott China’s rare earth exports! From now on, we will not buy a kilogram of rare earths! I believe that it will not take long for these short-sighted Chinese rare earth export companies to

We will fully realize their mistakes! By then, they will probably beg us with tears in their eyes!"

Sato Yin Yang has full confidence in his plan. He knows China's rare earth industry very well. Thousands of state-owned, collective and private mining, smelting and separation companies and small workshops can be said to be scattered all over China.

North and South. Due to disorderly competition among these enterprises and small workshops in order to obtain profits from exports, the price of rare earths in the international market has been low. If we exclude the benefits from the tax rebate policy provided by the Chinese government to encourage exports, what these enterprises can obtain

The profit is only one to five percent! And all of this is based on destructive mining of the environment where rare earths are produced!

China's large-scale export of rare earths began in the early 1990s, and it has only been a short five or six years so far. Even if these companies engage in indiscriminate mining and private smuggling, the profits they have made are considerable.

Limited.

If the six major consortiums in Japan collectively say "no" to rare earths from China, and Japan is one of the largest purchasers of rare earths from China, it will inevitably cause a huge backlog of rare earths that are already oversupplied in the international market. Time.

In the long run, the production plans of Japanese companies with almost five years of normal use reserves will not be affected, but these Chinese rare earth production companies will definitely not be able to hold on!

Even those state-owned enterprises can still get policy and financial support from the state and can continue to persist. However, those collective and private enterprises will definitely reduce prices! The leaders of these enterprises will not think about the consequences of their actions.

They only think that only by doing this can their business continue!

"I agree with Mr. Sato's idea, at least I can give it a try!" Shinto Matiao said loudly, "but I think we should join hands with our colleagues in South Korea and the United States to boycott it!" (To be continued)~.< 书海
