Simulation: Great Power Technology

"Night March? What is it?"

"Come with me."

As soon as he said that, Chen Hao took Ye Zhou into his office, and pulled out a file from the computer and opened it in front of him.

"These are all declassified materials, but they haven't been publicized on a large scale. Check it out for yourself. After reading it, you'll know."

Ye Zhou sat down in front of the computer and began to read the above materials carefully, while Chen Hao chose the key points to explain to him.

"In 1982, the then official Li Gen of the Ugly State formulated a bill called the National Minerals and Minerals Program, which stipulated that the material and minerals policy plan must be implemented to ensure that the Ugly State was capable of sending troops in the event of a war. , will not be affected by the lack of key raw materials.”

"Before this, Chou Country was the world's largest exporter of rare earths at that time, and the domestic Mountain Pass rare earth mine reserves ranked first in the world, and the rare earth smelting, finished product processing, and derivative chemical raw material production industries all Dominance in the world.”

"The export of rare earth and rare earth products even accounted for more than 90% of the world's consumption. Whether it is permanent magnet, laser, glass ceramics, electric light source, or even agricultural catalysis industry, as long as it is related to rare earth, it is their world. ."

"The operating company of the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine is a company called Morley Mining. This company has been lying on the Mountain Pass Mine and has been paying dividends for 30 years, making a lot of money, and their cash reserves are abundant. Even if you don’t start work for 20 years, you can still pay all the staff salaries with ease.”

"After the release of the National Minerals Plan, Morley Mining submitted a report to the official, and the entire report was actually summed up in just one sentence."

"They suggested that they should stop mining their own rare earth mines immediately and buy from Huaxia instead. After Huaxia's rare earth resources are exhausted, they will sell them back at a high price."

"That's what they did. After rounds of cannibalistic bidding, domestic rare earths eventually became Chinese cabbage in the international market. Coupled with the leakage of the cascade extraction technology developed by Xu Guangxian, Huaxia The rare earth industry has been almost devastated.”

"However, in this feast of wolves stealing domestic rare earth resources, domestic companies are just soup drinkers, and international capital giants are the ones who really eat the flesh and blood of China."

"This situation continued until 2005. At this stage, the export volume of Huaxia rare earths increased by more than ten times, but even after adjusting for inflation, the average export price can only reach 60% of that of 10 years ago."

"In 2005, Xu Guangxian, who led the domestic rare earth industry to the world, officially wrote a letter to stop the export of rare earth."

"However, by this time, it's too late."

"That was the darkest time for China's rare earth industry."

"However, history is never a single dimension. Just as the rare earth industry is losing ground on the frontal battlefield, a group of people are quietly opening up another battlefield."

“Because rare earths contain the same small amount of components as nuclear fuel, the mining of rare earth resources is strictly restricted in ugly countries, and all rare earth producers face high tax burdens and strict scrutiny. These companies have closed down, only Morley Mining relies on Living comfortably at the Mountain Pass Mine."

"But soon, Morley Mining reaped the bitter fruit of its own planting."

"In 2002, under the impact of China's low-priced rare earths, Morley Mining finally felt the crisis for the first time. They moved all production lines to China, hoping to make a comeback in China with their own technology."

"It's not just them, every company you can imagine in the rare earth industry is doing the same thing."

"McQuinci, mg, Epson, tdk, fkd... These all rare earth companies, their industries range from luminous powder for led to guidance devices for military missiles, all of which are in Huaxia. Attracted by cheap resources and manpower, they moved to Huaxia as a whole."

"A few years after that, a well-known island event happened."

"That month, Huaxia announced a reduction in rare earth export quotas."

"Rare earth prices rose 170 times, and the stocks of an island country-related industry without any rare earth resources collectively fell by the limit for two weeks."

"Half a million jobs in Europe were shaken, and industrial output fell by 4%."

"At this time, those Western businessmen realized that everything before was a middle game."

"At this time, they realized that the rare earth industry that moved to Huaxia no longer belongs to them."

"The chaos of Huaxia Rare Earth is a painful past, but at the same time, a group of people took advantage of the pain on the surface and marched resolutely in the dark night."

"They have fully grasped the ignorance of the bloody domestic price war by those short-sighted businessmen. At the same time as the price war started, they have quietly started the layout."

"Remember that company called McGonzi? This company specializes in producing magnets for military guided missiles for ugly countries. They moved the rare earth industry to China in 2002."

"But in fact, in 1995, a small company called neo already controlled 10% of McGonagall's shares."

"These stakes are small and unobtrusive."

"However, after 2005, the number of shares soared to 90% within a year."

"neo's merger is just a microcosm of many mergers and acquisitions. In addition, there are Junan Group, Heyi Mining, Huanshuo New Materials... They are hidden in the dark, silently and resolutely swallowing up The flesh and blood of those international giants."

"All these companies -- they're just shadows, shadows of the same behemoth."

"This behemoth is called Shenghe Resources."

"And the 100% equity controller of Shenghe Resources has a name that you are absolutely familiar with."

"China Academy of Geological Sciences."

"This is the March of the Night."

Chen Hao dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and looked at Ye Zhou who was still sitting in front of the computer.

The latter's expressionless face is not because his emotions are not fluctuating, but because he is too shocked and forgets what kind of expression he should respond to.

After sighing, Chen Hao continued and said:

"So, your worries are actually unnecessary."

"Indeed, we can't make the high-precision lenses you ask for, which is already a very marginal industry in the rare earth industry."

"However, we are 100 percent sure that we can make it impossible for them to make it."

"They don't have a choice - no one wants to go through another 170x pump."

"We didn't solve the lens problem in advance. It's true that we overestimated the capabilities of domestic companies. But so what? Always give them a chance."

"I didn't grasp this opportunity, it doesn't matter, I will continue to work hard next time."

"Because, as long as it is related to rare earths, there will always be someone to pay for us."

"We'll make an offer they can't refuse."

"Or rather, it's not a condition."

"It's a threat."
