Public instruments are public instruments. If you want public instruments to use them privately, there is a limit. Once you cross the boundary, it will lead to immeasurable consequences and may even affect your own power and status. It will fall from the top of the pyramid. This is what officials are most afraid of.

However, for private enterprise bosses, as long as the controlling rights are in their own hands, as long as they do not do anything that is angry or resentful, and as long as they do not want to fire all employees, they can stand firmly invincible.

Jiang Feng was lucky. He first obtained a Lingxi Jie that surpassed the times, allowing him to quickly establish a super-large commercial entity. At the same time, his identity as a geological expedition team member in his previous life made him have many memories of mineral resources in his mind, and he could lay out and then occupy them before they were discovered.

Jiang Feng’s purpose is to build a business empire. But modern society is a resource society. If you want to build a business empire, there are only some high-tech industries and no basic industries, especially those such as energy and mineral resources, you will be controlled everywhere.

Therefore, after Jiang Feng had a certain foundation, he couldn't wait to enter the mining and energy fields, which was also a measure that he had to take.

When it comes to mining, one thing cannot be avoided, that is rare earths.

Rare earths are known as the "gold" in the industry. Because of their excellent physical properties such as photoelectromagnetics, they can have different composition and performance from other materials and a wide variety of new materials. The most significant function is to greatly improve the quality and performance of other products. For example, they greatly improve the tactical performance of steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and titanium alloy used to manufacture tanks, aircraft, missiles.

Moreover, rare earths are also high-tech lubricants such as electronics, lasers, nuclear industries, and superconducting. Once rare earth technology is used in military affairs, it will inevitably bring about a leap in military technology.

In a sense, the US military overwhelming control in several local wars after the Cold War and the ability to openly kill the enemy without restraint is precisely because of the superman in the field of rare earth technology.

Rare earths not only play a major role in military affairs, but also play an irreplaceable and important role in other metallurgical industries, petrochemicals, new materials, and even agriculture.

China is one of the countries with a veritable number of rare earth resources in the world. In 1990, China's rare earth reserves accounted for 80% of the world. However, due to ignorant management, my country's rare earth resources were rapidly consumed. By the next 2011, my country's rare earth resources accounted for only 23% of the global reserves, far less than the United States' 40% and Russia's 30% of the world's reserves.

Rare earth resources have a great impact on Jiangfeng's industry. Whether it is its automobile industry, electronic information industry, and the military industry of Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, they all require a lot of rare earth consumption.

The application of rare earth elements in automobiles is mainly to make high-performance rare earth magnets. In automobiles, rare earth magnets must be used in places such as motors of electronic power steering systems, engine speed sensors, wheel speed sensors in ABS systems.

Since the emergence of new energy powered vehicles, the use of rare earth magnets has increased exponentially.

For hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, miniaturized and high-power drive motors are necessary, and these motors now use a large amount of rare earth magnets.

For example, Toyota is developing a new generation of cars. Now, on average, each unit produced will use about 20 kilograms of rare earth elements. In the next few years, all Toyota hybrid models will sell more than one million units.

Therefore, it is easy to calculate how much rare earth metal is needed by hybrid vehicles.

In the near future, it is a recognized fact that hybrid vehicles will become the mainstream of the automobile market. In addition, electric vehicles that also consume a large amount of rare earth metals are now gradually rising abroad.

Therefore, the importance of rare earth resources to the future development of automobile industry has been very obvious. It is no exaggeration to say that the role of rare earth elements in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles is comparable to that of oil in the use of fuel vehicles.

Since he knew the preciousness of rare earth resources, Jiang Feng planned to step on here.

This time he went to Beijing. In addition to seeing the launch of new products by several companies under his company's Jiang's Automobile and Jiang's Electronics, he hopes to meet with senior military leaders and let him come forward to integrate the domestic rare earth industry.

In the past twenty years, due to the lack of unified overall planning, various rare earth mining companies have been working hard to mine, and even competed with each other to lower prices, turning rare earth metal resources that are more precious than gold into bargain prices. Jiang Feng doesn't want to continue to see such things. Although his actions were more than ten years later than the large number of rare earths sold at a low price, it is better to make up for the loss of the sheep and do it now than to not do it.

Jiang Feng thought so, and before he knew it, his private plane had landed at the Beijing International Airport.

After arriving in the capital, Jiang Feng directly found Rong Guohui and told Rong Guohui about his thoughts. Rong Guohui agreed with Jiang Feng's idea, but this matter was not something he could decide. In the end, Rong Guohui decided to take Jiang Feng to see Premier Wen.

Jiang Feng also met several times with the new Prime Minister Wen. The relationship between the two is not very close, at least it has much worse relationship with him and his former Prime Minister Hong.

Premier Wen is not a hawkish person, in fact, he is a centrist person. However, he has a good relationship with the Rong family, which is why Rong Guohui brought him to find Premier Wen.

"Well, then you tell me, I'll remember it." After learning about Jiang Feng's purpose, Premier Wen put on his eyes, took a notebook very seriously, found a pencil and sat there, waiting for Jiang Feng to speak.

Jiang Feng was suddenly a little surprised. He didn't expect that Premier Wen would record it himself, so he said, "No need to do this. I have prepared some information and I will send it to you later."

"I've been used to it for many years, and I'm afraid I'll forget to miss the matter." Premier Wen signaled that it didn't matter.

So Jiang Feng said: "The first thing is about the hoarding of national strategic materials."

Premier Wen was surprised after hearing this and asked, "Well, Mr. Jiang, when did you care about this? Do you want to go into politics?"

"Uh..." Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't have that kind of mind. This is also related to my business and is closely related. Now foreigners are salivating about my country's rare earth resources and want to empty them."

After hearing this, Premier Wen nodded and said, "I know about rare earths. Local governments need to achieve political achievements and economic benefits. The easiest thing to be moved by is these mineral resources. In fact, foreigners are not just rare earths!"

"Although that's the case, rare earths are different from other things. This thing is completely controlled by Chinese people. Now, among the cutting-edge weapons of Americans, aircraft and tanks and missiles, there is no precise guidance without this thing, and aircraft cannot even break through sound barriers. Do you think it is important?" Jiang Feng said, "And the Americans have stopped their domestic rare earth production. All rare earth mines are kept in stock, and all they need are imported from my country to make strategic reserves. Japan and South Korea are also considering importing a large number of rare earth resources from my country. Recently, it is said that they plan to reserve demand for two years to prevent the international market price of rare earths from rising in the future."

"Is there such a thing? Doesn't that mean that we no longer have pricing power on the export price of rare earths?" Premier Wen is engaged in economic work. When he heard Jiang Feng's words, he grasped the key point.

There are many domestic rare earth exporters. In addition to Inner Mongolia, there are rare earth minerals in provinces and regions such as Tiannan Guixiling, Nanjiangnan, and other provinces and regions. So many manufacturers are engaged in rare earth production at the same time, which will inevitably lead to a competitive situation. However, domestic rare earth exports do not have a very unified management agency, so everyone is fighting for their own price wars to compete for foreign trade exports, and the benefits will be foreigners.

A large number of rare earth refined ores are sold at bargain prices. The sales revenue of only a few billion yuan in the country a year has sold a large number of state-owned resources, and the value of these resources should be thousands of times the sales revenue to meet their own value.

If Japan and South Korea really made strategic arrangements and made two years of rare earth resource reserves, they would have the right to set the pricing. As the main sales of rare earths in China, they could not buy China's rare earth refined mines for two years, and domestic production companies would probably not be able to hold on for even half a year. Without this export income, the people in the factory would have starved to death.

Premier Wen felt a headache after hearing Jiang Feng's words.

"The central government is in a tight fiscal situation now, and although the tax sharing system has been implemented, the country's foundation is too weak. If you want to build a national strategic reserve, there will be many difficulties. I can only watch the local area dig and be powerless! If you want to control this industry, you still need a lot of financial support!" Premier Wen said helplessly.

"So I'm here!" Jiang Feng immediately put forward his own suggestions, "Prime Minister Wen, you know that my electronics and automobile companies, as well as Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, are all major rare earth consumption companies. So, I was thinking that I would replace the country to make strategic reserves, build a large-scale rare earth refining enterprise in China, uniformly refine various rare earth minerals that domestic enterprises cannot refine, and suspend rare earth exports at the same time, and I will store all resources. What do you think?"

"Stop the export of rare earths?" Premier Wen was also shocked by Jiang Feng's statement, so he said with some concern, "I guess as soon as we stop exporting, we will immediately threaten the ambassadors from dozens of countries!"
