My dependence on rare earth resources is unimaginable for the Chinese.

When the Chinese government was preparing to restrict the export of certain types of rare earth resources, the Japanese media called it weaponization of resources, comparing China with Russia.

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has undergone shock therapy and embarked on capitalism. Its national strength has declined considerably. Now it is not playing with nuclear weapons. It has begun to play with valves on natural gas pipelines, opening and closing from time to time to exert pressure on neighboring countries.

China's plan to restrict the export of rare earth resources is of great economic significance, because it is true that rare earth resources were sold too cheaply in the past, and over the long term, they have caused resource loss. Moreover, China's own use of rare earths is also growing rapidly. As a scarce resource owned by the country, of course, it should first meet its own use needs. This is justified.

However, from the standpoint of Japan, these truths are ignored. If China succeeds in the weaponization of resources, and Japan cannot do anything about it, the high-tech industry and automobile industry in Japan will be able to do so in the future. No need to show. In the automobile industry, Toyota is the most anxious. This is because at this stage, the hybrid vehicles that use the largest amount of rare earths and are manufactured by Toyota are the hybrid vehicles being promoted by Toyota.

As for the military industry companies, too many companies are affected. Japan once claimed that without Japan’s precision technology, the Americans’ long-range missiles can only accurately strike within 50 meters, but now they can reach within 10 meters. Although there is manufacturing technology that the Japanese are proud of, it is also inseparable from the wide application of rare earth elements.

Murata Shigeru represents not only the Japanese military industry group, but also Toyota, which is extremely hungry for rare earth resources. In order to facilitate this purchase contract, Toyota specially allocated 100 million U.S. dollars in activity funds to Murata Shigeru. Let him manage all aspects, put a certain amount of pressure on Fan Wuyao, and force him to execute the original contract.

Moreover, Japan has considered that Fan Wuyin is young and often has the habit of being accompanied by beautiful women, and plans to invite several popular female stars in Japan to China to have in-depth exchanges with Fan Wuyin, in order to achieve invisible diplomacy. the goal of.

However, after carefully understanding Fan Wu's background, Murata dissuaded the chaebols in Japan not to act rashly, because as a member of the Central Committee, he is also a rich and influential man. Fan Wu's influence in the country is Japan. Unimaginable, the general pressure will only make him angry, and it will not have a positive effect at all, but this beauty diplomacy seems to have some effect.

But the most important issue now is that everyone is too late to engage in beauty diplomacy. Seeing that the Chinese government may make a decision to restrict the export of rare earth resources at any time. Once this decision is made, things cannot be reversed.

For the present. Still have to negotiate with Fan Wuyao directly. I just don't know where Fan Wuyi's bottom line is? But Shigeru Murata was determined to achieve the goal. As long as Fan Wubing made the condition. He must meet his requirements. Take down this big list.

When Murata Shigeru saw Fan Wushu. He is leaning on the recliner. A beautiful female secretary squeezed the shoulders.

Fan Wubing closed his eyes. A very comfortable look. It seems to be asleep.

Murata was anxious in his heart. But he didn't dare to disturb Fan Wuyi. Had to stand there bewildered.

Five minutes later. Fan Wubing opened his eyes. Looked carefully at Shigeru Murata. Just asked. "Are you Mr. Murata?"

Murata immediately stepped forward. Bowed deeply. Replied respectfully. "My person is Murata Shigeru. Please take care of Mr. Fan."

Fan Wubing waved his hand, "I can't talk about it. I'm very sorry this time. Since the establishment of our company, we have not broken the contract. Fortunately, we negotiated in advance the issue of compensation for breach of contract. The U.S. dollar is regarded as an apologize."

After hearing Fan Wubing’s words, Murata Shigeru immediately said anxiously, “Mr. Fan, Youdao is asking for prices and paying back. Although there are rumors that the export of rare earths is banned, but before the official channel officially announced, You really don’t need to worry about this. Why are you not willing to sell things to us? The price is negotiable. As long as you are willing to bid, we will have the basis for this business to be negotiated."

Fan Wubing looked at Murata Shigeru, shook his head and said, "There are some things you don't understand. My father has been promoted to a member of the Central Committee. He has a good career prospect and is very likely to be a regular member. Therefore, I must pay attention to being in the mainland. Political influence. This time, I can only blame you for bad luck. Why did you come to talk about this big business with me when the news of the government's export restrictions came out? If I agreed to your request, it would seem to be a special one. Can’t get through with the government. This is a very dangerous signal and it is very serious to my father’s official career.

ring. Therefore, I cannot agree to your request. "

Murata Shigeru heard what Fan Wuyao said, but he felt that there was some truth. After all, everyone’s pursuit is different. If Fan Wuyao pursues pure money, then he can use expensive purchases to lure him into it. He changed his mind, but now what Fan Wubing wants is to maintain the positive image of his father Fan Heng. It can't be done by relying on money. This matter is difficult to solve.

In fact, Japan is well aware of the current rare earth resource crisis, and they also have some solutions.

The acquisition of rare earth resources is a national strategic decision of Japan, in order to open up new ways of acquisition and break China's monopoly. Japan’s geological survey team has cooperated with some countries with potential for rare earth burial to conduct geological exploration locally, especially Vietnam.

Recently, Japan has discovered areas with the same geological and climatic conditions as China's heavy rare earth mining areas in Vietnam, and it is considered that there is a possibility of heavy rare earth deposits. In addition to cooperating with the Vietnamese government to conduct geological surveys, it also uses government assistance provided by Japan to build roads and bridges around the mining area and indirectly support resource development.

Toyota Group also intends to establish a joint venture with the Vietnamese government to establish a mining company to carry out related developments.

Especially for some important projects, if rare earths can be used, there is no need for them, and light rare earths can be used without heavy rare earths. Reducing the use of rare earth elements, especially heavy rare earth elements, is a general scientific and technological topic in Japan.

Nowadays, some researchers can use other elements to replace dy under the premise of ensuring performance, but the production process is very complicated and the cost is very high. At this stage, large-scale industrial applications cannot be realized. However, there is hope for the Japanese to develop technologies that do not use heavy rare earths.

In order to effectively use rare earth resources, the Japanese also attach great importance to the development of recycling technology, recovering rare earth elements from discarded computer hard drives, optical drives, motors, and automobiles. The recycling technology here is very important. Take a computer hard disk as an example, in which magnets account for two to three percent of the weight. If the technology is backward, it is difficult to recycle.

The Japanese used to buy a large number of discarded U.S. fighter jets in the Middle East for the purpose of obtaining the rare earth elements used in large quantities. The recycling cost is very low, but the return is very high, which is quite cost-effective.

Americans are used to being big-handed, and it is difficult to understand what the Japanese are so diligent and diligent about. However, Fan Wuyao knows very well that as a resource-poor country, it is not easy for Japan to go to this day. Although their aggressiveness is disgusting, their own efforts are worthy of admiration.

Not only military industrial enterprises, or civilian industries, or high-tech processing industries, all have remarkable points, and even their aV industry can be regarded as one of the best in the world!

After meditating for a moment, Murata immediately thought of a good solution, so he said to Fan Wuyao, "If Mr. Fan hopes to help the father’s career, we can add some additional items to the original price. Conditionally, the guarantee will be of great benefit to your father’s official career and will definitely not affect his reputation because of this incident. What do you think?"

Fan Wubing raised his head when he heard the words, took a serious look at Shigeru Murata, and then asked with interest, "Oh? Well, let's just talk and listen."

Fan Wuyi would like to hear what Murata Shigeru would suggest~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Anyway, he is just holding back here, so he can squeeze some more benefits, why not do it?

Murata Shigeru said to Fan Wuyao, “My father’s foundation in Jiangnan Province is not stable, and the current shortage of funds is quite large. If we are willing to provide some free assistance and give some interest-free loans, will it be bad for him? Does the work have a better impact? As long as Jiangnan Province’s work is done well and the economy develops, according to your current domestic standards for selecting cadres, you can work towards a higher position, right?"

Fan Wuyao looked at Murata Shigeru, and said that this guy is smart enough. He knew that to solve the problem, he had to start from the root cause. He used his father's situation to set up obstacles. He started to help him solve the problem. Shot, it can be said to have grasped the key point.

So Fan Wubing thought for a while and said, "Tell me about the specific situation."

Shigeru Murata was overjoyed when he heard the words, his heart and morality finally loosened. This is a good phenomenon! He was confident that as long as Fan Wuyi showed signs of letting go, he would have a way to convince him. After all, the price he could pay this time was extremely huge in the eyes of the Japanese.
