Resource Tycoon Reborn

The group of people got in the car again and continued to move forward. As they went further in, the road changed from asphalt road to dirt road, and became narrower and narrower. Sometimes, the road could only accommodate one car, and the road was narrower.

Next to it is a cliff. Lin Rong was frightened when she saw it ()

Fang Mingyuan paid attention to the mountains on both sides of the road. The further in, the more semi-bald mountains appeared! It seems that Lian Zhengming said that there are more than 130 mines in Longbei County, which is true! The convoy

Along the way, Fang Mingyuan noticed that transport trucks appeared on the road from time to time. Sometimes, these trucks would deviate from the main road and turn into the mountains along the dirt roads in the mountains.

"These vehicles should be used to transport raw materials and supplies to the mines, as well as transport rare earth raw materials!" Liu Yonglu noticed Fang Mingyuan's attention and explained, "Our county law enforcement officers sometimes follow these vehicles to follow the clues.

Find those mining sites that are mined without a license. Just because we are short of funds, we can only conduct inspections at certain times every year!"

Lian Zhengming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, but he also knew that Liu Yonglu was telling the truth! There are many mountains in Longbei, and transportation is inconvenient. The poor finances simply cannot support a large-scale operation.

The patrol activities are just a show of symbolically emphasizing the order of rare earth mining in the central government, provinces and cities! And the city, which cannot make money, has nothing to do about it!

"I believe that the problem of fund shortage will be solved in the next one or two years. The central government is very sad about the current chaotic and disorderly mining and over-excavation of the rare earth industry! The reason why this time is to vigorously rectify the rare earth production in Zhangzhou

, is to put the mining and separation of rare earths back on the right track! Rare earths are very precious resources and are indispensable for the development of our high-tech! City leaders are now also studying how to implement the central and

Instructions from the province. Cooperate with Huaxin Mining to formalize our rare earth industry in Zhangzhou!" Lian Zhengming said.

"Of course that's the best!" Liu Yong and Lu Xi couldn't help but said, "Actually, it's not that we don't want to take care of it, it's just that we can't take care of it at all! As long as there are funds and the support of the city, we will definitely do this for the city.

Take care of it!"

Fang Mingyuan and his party stayed in Longbei for three days and conducted an on-site inspection of the local rare earth industry. The information obtained made Fang Mingyuan very worried.

This is what you don’t know if you don’t check. If you check, you will be shocked. Although Longbei County is the most remote county in Zhangzhou, and although there are more than 130 mines with mining licenses reported by the county, after actual investigation

Later, just those people under Fang Mingyuan saw nearly two hundred collection points! Most of these collection points were poorly equipped and hidden in the mountains, and the roads leading to these collection points were often guarded! For

The strangers who appeared were extremely vigilant, and there were several conflicts during the process. Unfortunately, they met Chen Zhong and others. These people hit the steel plate!

However, there are also many collection points that seem to have been abandoned. According to local villagers, since the Zhangzhou Guanchang earthquake, these people took away the equipment and stopped showing up. They just left a mess for the local area! Just one

This is what Longbei looks like. Looking at the entire Zhangzhou and the entire production areas in the south, the corruption of the rare earth industry has reached such a shocking state!

In Su Huandong's study in the capital, Su Huandong looked obviously tired and was listening to Fang Mingyuan's report.

"Grandpa Su, the rare earth industry must be rectified! If this continues, I am very worried that in another thirty to fifty years, when our own industry needs rare earths, we will be forced to import rare earths from abroad!

But, at that time, regardless of whether countries like Russia, the United States, and Australia will sell it to us, the price will definitely not be the current price!" Fang Mingyuan said sadly.

Su Huandong looked at the Zhangzhou rare earth investigation report sent by Mingyuan above the table. The above data were also shocking! Even after the earthquake in Zhangzhou officialdom, the central government had already understood the rare earth chaos in Zhangzhou.

I didn’t expect that Zhangzhou’s rare earth industry would be in such chaos!

"Mingyuan, have you seen it? Many Japanese companies have jointly boycotted my country's rare earth exports. Moreover, they have also called on developed countries such as Europe and the United States to boycott it. They believe that the sharp rise in rare earth prices has harmed the international economy. Normal development. Now the domestic rare earth production enterprises have become a mess!" Su Huandong asked.

"I know! I just think they are farting!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation, "They are alarmist! If a sharp increase in the price of rare earths can endanger the normal development of the international economy, then the board should first be directed towards

Oil-producing countries in the Middle East! The price of crude oil. Shortly after the outbreak of the "Yom Kippur War" in October 1973, the OPEC organization decided to increase the oil price from US$2.9 per barrel to US$5.1 per barrel.

, the organization also plans to cut crude oil production by 5% every month until Israel withdraws from the land it occupied in 1967. At that time, the price of oil reached a maximum of 11.7 US dollars per barrel! But now

In the world crude oil market, the price of crude oil is 14-5 times the price of crude oil in 1973! In the international market today, the total annual transaction volume of rare earth transactions is only a few billion US dollars, while the transaction volume of international crude oil transactions

The amount is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars! Why don’t they refuse to buy crude oil?”

"Why?" Su Huandong asked.

"Because oil is a necessity, without sufficient oil supply, even if they have domestic oil reserves, they will not be able to last for one or two years! In the past few years, by buying rare earths from us at low prices, most of these countries have accumulated reserves for three to five years.

Or even more rare earths! So they are not afraid of cutting off supply for one or two years! Moreover, they know very well that even if we do not consider environmental pollution, the profits earned from rare earth exports are quite limited, so these companies basically

We can't afford the backlog of finished products! As long as they refuse to buy it, our company will not be able to survive for long, and we will ask them to buy it instead!" Fang Mingyuan sneered, "If this situation does not change,

"What's the point of controlling rare earth exports after ten or eight years, when each of these countries has accumulated enough rare earth reserves for their use for decades?"

Su Huandong nodded and said: "Then what method do you have to deal with it? Is it the national reserve you mentioned above?"

"Yes. Rare earths can be said to be strategic materials in the future! Not only can they be used in high-tech industries, but they are also indispensable raw materials for future military enterprises. And I believe that with the continuous development of science and technology, more application fields of rare earths will be discovered.

, instead of sacrificing our country's environment and wasting these strategic materials to support the enemy for the sake of billions of dollars in foreign exchange every year! It is better to strictly control it. On the one hand, it is also responsible for our country's economic and military development. On the other hand, it can also exert pressure on foreign countries.

!Grandpa Su. Have you ever thought that our export of rare earths in large quantities at low prices not only fails to earn corresponding foreign exchange to accelerate our country’s own economic construction, but instead gives sharp weapons to others! Rare earth tanks and missiles in the United States

They all play a very important role in the production of aircraft and fighter jets. If one day, we have a conflict with neighboring countries, those high-tech weapons made with our own rare earths will fall on our own heads!" Fang Mingyuan said proudly.

road.

"So how to deal with these foreign companies? They have considerable influence in their respective countries and can affect the implementation of policies by governments. Now the country needs a time to rise peacefully. During this period, our country

We don’t want to have fierce conflicts and contradictions with foreign countries. Moreover, the development of our country’s economy also needs foreign markets! For the sake of rare earths, our country’s exports will be blocked. This is definitely not the result the government wants to see!” Su Huandong sighed!

He said in one breath. He may not have noticed these shortcomings mentioned by Fang Mingyuan before, but after the Zhangzhou case. If he still doesn't know clearly, then he will be unworthy of the position of deputy prime minister!

"So. I also mentioned one thing above. Currently, corporate reserves are the main one, and national reserves are supplementary! I hope the country can give me policy support. It doesn't matter whether we have funds or not, and control our country's rare earth exports!"

Fang Mingyuan said, "As long as the country can return the export rights of rare earths to a few controllable units, and then strengthen the crackdown on smuggling and indiscriminate mining and excavation, and control the current output from increasing, I can use the current international market price of rare earths to

Twice the acquisition of all rare earths!”

"Twice the price of rare earths in the international market?" Su Huandong narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Yes! Twice!" Fang Mingyuan nodded.

"You have a lot of money now!" Su Huandong pointed at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Did you make a lot of money during the Southeast Asian financial crisis?"

"So far, it is enough to acquire our country's output of rare earth exports for four to five years in addition to paying for the shares of Samsung Group!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Otherwise, Grandpa Su, how do you think I can get this confidence?

?”

Su Huandong did not expect that he would admit it so happily. To be honest, the reason why Su Huandong knew that Fang Mingyuan had gained a lot from the Southeast Asian financial crisis was because Fang Mingyuan had mentioned to him more than a year ago that for Southeast Asian countries,

He was worried about the country's economic situation and was afraid of a financial crisis! For this reason, Su Huandong once formally mentioned this possibility at a meeting related to the State Council? It was just that many other leaders at the time listened to those "experts" and "professors"

"I think this is unfounded worry! Therefore, this matter will be dropped! Su Huandong can only do his best to take some precautions in the project he is in charge of!

After the financial crisis broke out in Southeast Asia this year, Su Huandong's original proposal was naturally brought up by the central bosses. The bosses were concerned that someone in the country had clearly discovered the clues to the crisis and also proposed it, but was rejected.

I feel quite dissatisfied. There are actually many people in the State Council who have been criticized! Su Huandong's status has naturally increased with the intensification of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia. Now, the call for him to succeed the next prime minister is getting louder and louder.

!

Su Huandong just thought that since an owner like Fang Mingyuan, who is good at seizing opportunities, has noticed the signs of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, he will naturally not let this opportunity go!

"You!" Su Huandong pointed at Fang Mingyuan and was speechless for a moment. He knew the real agreement between the Fang family and Li Jianxi. Fang Mingyuan invested tens of billions of dollars to buy shares of Samsung Group, and there were dozens more

US$100 million will be used to purchase the subsidiaries and technologies sold by Samsung Group! The total amount will reach US$145 billion! And he just said that this money can completely purchase China’s four to five years’ output of rare earth exports.

, this is almost billions of dollars! Adding the two together, doesn’t it mean that Fang Mingyuan has made more than 20 billion US dollars so far during the Southeast Asian financial crisis!

Twenty billion U.S. dollars! According to statistics from relevant departments, China's foreign investment in 1996 only attracted a total of more than 42 billion U.S. dollars! Ranking second in the world! And Fang Mingyuan was in the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

He earned no less than 20 billion U.S. dollars! Such an astonishing amount even as the deputy prime minister of a country, he was shocked!

In fact, Fang Mingyuan still has reservations. The current Southeast Asian financial crisis has just entered the mid-term, and the entire Southeast Asian financial crisis to the Asian financial crisis. In the previous life, the world recognized that it was completely over in 1999. The Russian financial crisis and various Southeast Asian countries

China's second financial crisis has not yet broken out, and the funds Fan Mingyuan invested in various countries are still in the process of being recovered! These 20 billion US dollars are just part of the profits that have been recovered.

It's not that Fan Mingyuan intends to hide anything, but that Fan Mingyuan feels that it is too early to regard it as profit now that he has not really received the money. As the saying goes, everything is unpredictable, and everyone has misfortunes and misfortunes. Although it is said that the financial crisis in Southeast Asia has so far

So far, it has basically developed according to his expectations, but he dare not give a 100% guarantee that the next development will still follow his expectations.

Su Huandong felt some unspeakable regret. If he had known this, he would have allocated a sum of funds from the country's foreign exchange funds and let Fang Mingyuan operate it. Even if he only got 30 to 40% of the profit, it would still be a waste.

The yield is far higher than staying in the hands and buying U.S. Treasury bonds! However, this financial crisis has not passed yet, is it still too late?

"Grandpa Su, don't let me take charge of the country's foreign exchange funds. There is no problem in providing suggestions. But I don't care about the final decision-making power and execution!" Fang Mingyuan saw Su Huandong's idea and said quickly. The country also has foreign exchange.

Investment company, Fang Mingyuan has known this for a long time, but he is not willing to get involved! Not to mention whether those high-minded owners will listen to him, their slow decision-making mechanism is enough to let too many people run away.

Opportunity! To achieve the same brilliant record as Yu Dongfeng is sheer fantasy!

Moreover, if you do this well, what benefits can you get? An official position? You haven't graduated from college yet, what kind of official position can you get? A department-level or division-level cadre? Fang Mingyuan doesn't have the leisure to slowly join the system.

Ranking based on seniority! Accept the guidance of those stupid officials who fight internally with insiders and externally with outsiders! And even if they make money, if the income is not as good as the funds in their own names, these officials will definitely be chirping!

If they do something wrong, these officials who are good at shirking responsibility will definitely blame themselves for all the problems!

All in all, the benefits and risks are completely out of proportion! And it’s thankless!

Su Huandong sighed lightly. He also understood why Fang Mingyuan was unwilling. Although he was reluctant, he had to admit that compared with private companies, there were too many things that restricted young people from showing their talents in state-owned companies!

"This is a solution without losing anything!" Su Huandong pulled his thoughts back. If there are sufficient sources of funds, Fang Mingyuan said that companies should first reserve rare earths, which is also a way. Companies in Europe and the United States also said this

Nothing comes out - market economy, China's rare earths are of course sold to companies with high bids, isn't it the same for European and American companies! Moreover, domestic rare earth resources naturally have to meet their own domestic needs before they are exported.

At this point, no one can say anything.

"Are those warehouses you built in the coastal areas just for the purpose of storing rare earths?" Su Huandong asked thoughtfully. As early as half a year ago, the relevant national departments noticed that the Fang family had built several warehouses in the coastal areas.

A large warehouse, but it has been vacant until today!

"Well, Grandpa Su, you have such a keen eye that you can tell right through at a glance!" Fang Mingyuan extended his thumb and said with admiration, "Now, I have built eight storage warehouses, with a total reserve of more than 80,000 tons! If

If the country can approve my proposal, we can build another batch to bring the total rare earth reserves to more than 300,000 tons!"

"Three hundred thousand tons!" Su Huandong calculated in his mind. This amount is almost four times China's rare earth exports last year! And four years later, if a national rare earth reserve cannot be established, then his deputy

The Prime Minister is so disappointing!

"Mingyuan, so much of your funds will be held in reserve by rare earths in the future. Don't you feel that you are at a disadvantage?" Su Huandong said slowly.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Grandpa Su, if you are telling lies, I will say that this is to serve the people, and the interests of the motherland are above all else! If you are telling the truth, I will tell you that I have this batch of rare earths in my hands.

Here, maybe in four or five years, their value will double several times! Moreover, their existence is also an important bargaining chip for our family when discussing technology introduction with foreign companies!" (To be continued...)
