Chapter 462 Rare Earth Strategy
Jiang Feng smiled slightly and said, "Rare earth production is too polluted to the environment. Isn't this a good way to control environmental pollution and shut down and rectify rare earth processing and production enterprises? As for the factory operation expenses during the closure period, the state pays for it, and I pay it. The local government has no objection, right? Besides, Americans no longer produce, why do we need to produce? In addition to the United States, we also need to be afraid of which country? China is now a big market, and no one dares to threaten our land with economic sanctions. Doing so is just creating opportunities for other countries!"
"Even so, there are probably a lot of resistance. There are many more people who are better at environmental pollution than rare earth production and processing companies! Based on the domestic situation, who would believe it if you say it?" Premier Wen asked.
"This requires public opinion propaganda to focus on support. As long as the news broadcast and relevant newspapers have reported on rare earth pollution for a month, do you think the local people will allow the factory to start construction? And the workers in the factory, as long as the wages are paid, do you think it is hard for them to rest?" Jiang Feng made a suggestion.
After listening to Jiang Feng's suggestion, Premier Wen suddenly laughed and pointed at Jiang Feng and said, "President Jiang, you are really sinister! I have learned about your intelligence and talent, and the people's hearts can be used!"
"I am also considering national interests. I am under a lot of pressure to do such things." Jiang Feng said.
This is the truth. If the Japanese knew that Jiang Feng had done this, they would have the intention to come over and assassinate him.
Rare earths are not only rare metals in the world, but also new materials and new technologies are elements that turn stones into gold, but also strategic resources for technological competition. Before the 1970s, the production and application of rare earths were state secrets.
Back then, the Japanese wanted to buy slag from Baosteel at a high price, but Premier Zhou ordered that no matter how much money he gave it, it could not be sold! This shows the foresight and long-term strategic vision of the national leaders at that time.
After the reform and opening up, the economy was revitalized, but the central government's control over local areas has also weakened a lot. Now who cares about national policies and national justice? As long as you make money, you are the master. It doesn't matter if the environment is polluted. Anyway, the bosses are going to immigrate to Australia and New Zealand. How good are the natural conditions there? Every year, you only need to come back to check the operation of the factory and collect the accounts. What is the pollution in China? What does it have to do with him?
"Okay, what else is there?" Premier Wen nodded and asked again. He had already recorded what Jiang Feng said on paper. This matter needs to be carefully considered. After all, it is not as simple as speaking.
"There is another thing, that is, my automobile company and electronics company will launch a large number of new products in a few days. I hope you can always come to give me some guidance." Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Feng just remembered this incident because he didn't expect that the rare earths would be in the past. Rong Guohui would bring him to Premier Wen. Now that he has met Premier Wen, he will not bother the second master in one matter. He also invites him to attend the launch ceremony of Jiang's new product.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, you really dare to speak!" Premier Wen said with a smile.
Jiang Feng smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay, I understand this. The products produced by your company have filled the gaps in related fields in China. Especially your car project, it is the first product in our nation that has completely independent intellectual property rights. Of course, I cannot miss such a major event. Originally, I was still thinking that Jiang always looked down on me and would not invite me, an old guy." Premier Wen said with a smile.
"Ah?" Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "How could it be, I know that you have a lot of time and don't dare to speak."
After Jiang Feng came out, Rong Guohui asked, "How is the talk?"
"It's pretty good, Premier Wen is a cheerful person." Jiang Feng was very satisfied with the results of today's talks.
In fact, although the two things he mentioned today have their own interests, their impact on the country is also very positive.
If rare earths are built up strategic reserves, one can increase the international market prices and ensure that the rights and interests of the country will not be trampled on. Two, during the period of production suspension and rectification, rare earth processing enterprises can be optimized, improved refining capabilities, eliminate simple raw material exports, save resources, protect the environment, integrate rare earth production processing resources, form large-scale production enterprises, and reduce waste. These are all beneficial to the people of the country. Third, they can fully guarantee their own profits and make a fortune in overseas markets. They can also restrain the Americans' strategic goals, at least make them have some concerns in foreign trade negotiations.
Computers and cars are now basically producing foreign brands on behalf of others, especially automobiles, all of which are production factories of foreign automobile brands. This is very unfavorable to the development of the country's national industry.
The main purpose of coming to Beijing has been achieved at present. Now we will wait for the launch ceremony of cars, computers and mobile phone products after three days.
Three days later, on April 2nd, Jiangshi Group grandly held a series of new product launch activities in Beijing, including Jiangshi Automobile, Jiangshi Computer, Jiangshi Mobile, etc. Many senior government officials, including the Prime Minister, attended the listing ceremony. Premier Wen also delivered a enthusiastic speech, expressing high praise for Jiangshi Group's self-reliance, and called on other domestic companies to learn from Jiangshi Group.
Shortly after Jiang's Group's automobile and other products were launched, senior management finally approved Jiang Feng's proposal. In the recent stage, Xinhua News Agency reported the incident of a young girl suffering from blood cancer in a rare earth mining area. It deeply exposed and criticized the large amount of waste of resources, disorderly mining, backward processing, vicious competition, etc. in domestic rare earth production, and monitored the environment of the mining area and found that many places are no longer suitable for human habitation, and this situation is still deteriorating.
A single stone caused a thousand waves, and media from all over the country rose up to discuss in-depth the impact of industrial pollution and resource waste on people's lives, and gave examples of the huge price paid by Western countries to control environmental pollution after industrial ** and later.
Finally, the media called on the government to shut down and control such heavily polluted enterprises so as not to repeat the mistakes of Western countries.
This incident has a great impact. According to past practice, at most, things like this are newspapers. Everyone discusses and calls on them to donate some money to the children, and they will be done.
However, this time, with acquiescent and condonation, the State Council finally formally notified a group of rare earth production and processing enterprises in key mining areas, ordering them to stop production and rectify, and demanded targeted requirements for the possibility of secret mining by enterprises. Once the operation is found during the suspension and rectification period, the factory leadership will immediately be removed from office and will be held criminally responsible, and will never tolerate it, and the whistleblower will be rewarded with heavy rewards.
As for the life issues of enterprises during the suspension and rectification, the document did not mention it, but in private, the relevant person in charge said when meeting the heads of each company that there will be salary and no penny will be less.
At the same time, with the approval of the State Council, Jiang Feng acquired three large enterprises that produce and process rare earths in Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Jiangnan provinces to restructure, established joint-stock companies, and began to invest huge amounts of money to update and replace its production equipment. At the same time, he also built reserve reservoir areas in the three places to make strategic reserves in the name of the company.
During this period, rare earth production and processing companies in various places were a little unable to sit still. The reason was that most of the products they produced were exported abroad. In order to reduce their purchase costs, foreign companies have always had the practice of corroding sales personnel through money. The factory stopped production and rectified it. And I don’t know when the work will resume, so these people couldn’t sit still.
Foreign companies, especially Japanese companies, have been urging them very closely. They have not completed their strategic reserves for rare earth resources. Therefore, as soon as they close and rectify, they are so anxious that they can't sit still. They inquire about this matter through various channels. Only then can they learn that the domestic environmental protection call is very high. The rare earth industry is now a severely affected area, and no one dares to start processing and production.
However, Japanese companies believed that money could make the devil push the mill, and there would be a brave man under heavy rewards, so they bribed several small businesses to secretly mine and process.
At around 3 a.m., Pan Juan suddenly woke up from her sleep, frightened to the point of being covered in cold sweat. She dreamed that her husband was caught. It has been a long time since she often had the same dream.
Two years ago, Pan Juan's husband discovered a rare earth mine in a county in Ganzhou, Jiangnan Province, and successfully spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy the mountain from his "old cousin" in the name of planting fruit trees. In addition to planting a little tree next to them, they mainly used to secretly mine rare earth mines. Since early April, the central government has implemented high-pressure control policies on the rare earth industry, rectified the order of the rare earth industry, and focused on cracking down on illegal mining, production, black market transactions, export smuggling and other illegal activities. The news is very tight, and almost all formal enterprises have stopped production, but under the temptation of huge interests, Pan Juan's husband and others are still committing crimes against the wind. Special people have collected the rare earth oxides produced and secretly smuggled to Japan.
As a result, the incident was reported less than two days later, and a special task force immediately came down to take her husband away. Moreover, it was not from the Ministry of Public Security, but directly from the Ministry of Security to detain people, which was a person who endangered national security.
