() "The mining rights and export rights of rare earths? Ye Kai has a big appetite!" In Comrade Hong Zheng's office, Comrade Hong Zheng was talking about problems with a person in charge of the central bank. After hearing the news from Ye Ziping, Comrade Hong Zheng said in surprise.

"Ye Kai? Comrade Ye Ziping's son?" the person in charge asked after hearing this.

Comrade Hong Zheng nodded and said, "He has a batch of gold in his hand. If I want to take back the gold, he put forward such a condition."

"Then just take it back." The person in charge of the central bank said after hearing this, "I believe that Comrade Ye and Ziping will not be able to stop this matter."

"It's not that simple. This batch of gold belongs to Nangong Jinghong." Comrade Hong Zheng shook his head and said, "There are many people who want to make the gold idea, but no one dares to speak up because it involves a question of whether to be voluntary. If someone holds the handle, the perpetrator will not be able to take it."

"It turns out it's gold from the Nangong Family, so that's not easy to deal with." The person in charge of the central bank asked, "So what does this have to do with Ye Kai? Can he be the head of the Nangong Family?"

"The relationship between Ye Kai and Nangong Jinghong is quite good. It is said that Nangong Jinghong intends to give him this gold." Comrade Hong Zheng replied.

"Since that's the case, just contact Ye Kai directly. Even if there are hundreds of kilograms, even if it is one to two tons of gold, the country can buy it, so no one can say anything." The central bank is also very enthusiastic about gold, so the person in charge is also very active.

"It's not one ton or two ton gold. That's hundreds of tons of gold." Comrade Hong Zheng shook his head and said.

"Add... a hundred tons?" The person in charge of the central bank was suddenly stunned when he heard this.

No wonder even Comrade Hong Zheng is so active. It turns out that it is hundreds of tons of gold!

"According to the news we have received, there are about 150 tons of gold." Comrade Hong Zheng nodded, "The domestic gold production has not increased, and the reserves are a flaw. Therefore, we are still very concerned about this gold wealth. However, the origin of this batch of gold is a bit sensitive. It is likely that the wealth left by the Ri army invaded China and plundered Southeast Asian countries. If it is not handled properly, it will easily cause us some trouble."

"So that's it." The person in charge of the central bank suddenly realized after hearing this.

Many people are familiar with the treasure hidden problem left by the Ri army's invasion of China. However, over the years, although some secret treasures of all sizes have been discovered, they have never encountered large and small amounts of gold.

Some people say that when the Ri army used warships to transport the gold back to the land, it was sank by American planes. Some people say that the gold was transported to Outer Mongolia and buried deeply. Some people say that the gold fell into the hands of Americans.

Some people even say that the Li family in Singapore got this batch of gold. So after World War II, the small city-state developed rapidly and became one of the four Asian dragons.

But now it seems that these legends are not reliable, and this batch of gold in love fell into Nangong Jinghong's hands. No wonder there has been no news in the past half century.

If this batch of gold is really the same as that of the year, then it will be easier to deal with in private hands than in the hands of the country. Otherwise, those Southeast Asian countries that were invaded by the Ri army will definitely come to argue because of this matter.

"In that case, Ye Kai's proposal on rare earth mining rights and export rights is quite appropriate." The person in charge of the central bank analyzed, "If this matter is done, then there is an equivalent exchange relationship between us and Nangong Jinghong. This batch of gold is the income from the mining rights and export rights of rare earths. It is natural to fill it into the national treasury as gold reserves. If such a batch of gold is obtained for nothing, there will probably be many problems."

"After that being said, people from all walks of life are eyeing each other." Comrade Hong Zheng frowned.

He saw clearly that hundreds of tons of gold were a huge piece of fat in anyone's eyes. If he could take a bite, it would be enough for him to spend most of his life. Even some people in the management team would not be immune.

Therefore, how to deal with this problem is indeed quite troublesome.

"But the question of rare earths is not so easy to agree to." Comrade Hong Zheng thought of Ye Kai's conditions and couldn't help scratching his head.

Regarding rare earths, Comrade Hong Zheng is not short of information on this, especially the source of some domestic strategic resources, including the flow of metal and non-metal resources that are very important in military and civil use. These are not a secret to him.

Why can American Patriot missiles shoot down Saddam's Scud missiles more easily?

Why is the distance between the main guns of the US-made M1 and the Soviet-made T-72 tanks not very big, but the former can always be earlier

Fire and shoot more accurately? Why can the F-22 fighter jets supersonic cruise?

For every reason, from the perspective of materials science, rare earths can solve all the above problems at once.

The Patriot missile can easily destroy the Scud missile because of the use of about four kilograms of samarium-cobalt magnets and neodymium-ferric boron magnets in its guidance system. These materials are used for electron beam focusing, while samarium and neodymium are rare earth elements.

As for the supersonic cruise function of the f-22, thanks to its powerful engine and light and sturdy fuselage, they all use a large amount of special materials created by rare earth technology.

For example, the blades and combustion chambers of the f119 engine use flame retardant titanium alloy technology. The manufacturing of this titanium alloy is said to use rhenium, while the fuselage of the f-22 is strong, and it is armed with magnesium-titanium alloy reinforced with rare earth elements.

Otherwise, in supersonic cruise, the f119's powerful power is enough to destroy itself.

If the development and application of rare earths in China were not so important in the past, then the incredible military miracles in the Gulf War and the asymmetric control ability of the US military to perform in local wars after the Cold War shocked the top leaders.

In a sense, it is rare earths that have done all this.

Most of these rare earths are sold at low prices in China.

Because of this, the development and utilization of rare earths have also fostered huge dangers. More and more countries and military forces are participating in the competition and research and development of rare earths in order to gain asymmetric control capabilities over their opponents.

As the world's largest rare earth reserves, the mainland should strictly restrict rare earth mining and immediately prohibit the export of rare earths.

In fact, mainland China has great importance to the development of rare earths.

Three years ago, rare earths were included in the national protected mineral species.

From the perspective of rare earth protection policies, specialized institutions, stable industry policies, and the country's consistent overall control, even the oil industry does not have such treatment.

However, the achievements of the development of the rare earth industry over the past few decades are basically at the level of low-priced resources.

"In fact, I am personally very dissatisfied with the low selling of rare earth resources." Comrade Hong Zheng said, "When developed countries have successively regarded rare earths as strategic resources and have taken actions, our rare earths are often regarded as ordinary commodities for foreign exchange."

The mainland is the only country in the world that can supply rare earth products of different grades and varieties in large quantities. It can be said that over the years, the mainland has opened its doors and supplied them to the world at any cost.

The result of this is to encourage some foreign forces to develop more and more powerful cutting-edge weapons.

In any aspect, Comrade Hong Zheng could not be happy.

"But we also have concerns. If we start from the zhengfu level and restrict rare earth exports, the impact internationally will be huge. It is not ruled out that foreign ** forces will continue to demonize us through this name." Comrade Hong Zheng said, "So, it is difficult to make up your mind!"

"If that's the case, Suxing will privatize the mining and export of rare earths, or it will be a good thing." The person in charge of the central bank said thoughtfully after hearing this.

Once rare earths become privatized, for a long time in the future, the mining and export of rare earths will have little to do with the country.

As for whether Ye Kai wants to restrict exports or raise prices, it has nothing to do with the country.

"This is a good thing, a good thing that kills two birds with one stone." Thinking of this, the person in charge of the central bank's eyes lit up and he said to Comrade Hong Zheng.

"Haha, I also think it's very funny, it depends on what others think." Comrade Hong Zheng smiled and said, "I will mention this matter back and see what everyone's opinions are."

In fact, Premier Yun is now in the hospital for treatment while he is sick and rarely comes back to preside over the work. Comrade Hong Zheng is basically doing things on his own, so as long as there is no big objection to the Chinese political situation, this matter is probably still possible to be promoted.

Sure enough, Comrade Hong Zheng raised this matter at the afternoon meeting of the Central Political Bureau.

"The mining of rare earths is now quite chaotic. Although state-owned mines are the main body, the problem of private mining is also very serious. After exporting a large amount of rare earths, the foreign exchange exchange is only 100 million US dollars each year. This situation is very worrying." Comrade Hong Zheng said, "So I personally agree with Comrade Ye Kai's idea of ​​gold exchange for rare earth mining rights and export rights. It not only enriches our gold reserves, but also allows us to solve many imminent problems, but also standardizes the rare earth industry and solves the disadvantages in all aspects."
