() "I reminded me today." Comrade Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I think this is a turning point."

Seeing that everyone's attention was concentrated, Comrade Jiang Cheng continued, "Now, rare earth mining is basically carried out by state-owned enterprises, because the scale of private enterprises is not enough to achieve the level of private mining and refining rare earth minerals, and the country's control of rare earth minerals is relatively strict. Although some places have been secretly engaged in private mining, they cannot be put forward openly. If you want to control it, it is more appropriate now."

"Well, that's the reason. Is it appropriate to just hand over the rare earth industry to private hands to operate?" Although Comrade Shi Qingquan did not publicly oppose this matter, he raised some questions.

Logically speaking, the resources and energy industries such as oil, coal and mining should be firmly in the hands of the country. Otherwise, problems will easily arise and affect the stability of the overall situation.

Although the annual output value of the rare earth industry is not high, which is about 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange income, as people describe it, rare earths are the flavors in the industry. If this important seasoning is missing, will it affect the entire industrial layout?

Besides, how could Europe and the United States, which are used to enjoying cheap rare earths exported from mainland China, let it go?

However, the temptation brought to everyone by about 150 tons of gold was too great. Even Comrade Shi Qingquan, who was disliked by Ye Kai, dared not directly deny this proposal. At most, he would raise some questions.

"There is also the international response, which is also very important." Someone also raised this question, "If European and American countries oppose it, I am worried that it will cause many contradictions."

Everyone was talking about Mr. Ye, the second Mr. Ye and Ye Ziping’s family of three were very tacitly speaking, but just sat there and watched the changes, looking very strange.

After all, the cause of this incident was born by Ye Kai. As a family member, it is best not to speak, so as to avoid other people's belief that there is another dispute over interests involved.

"What are the opinions of Mr. Ye?" But if they don't speak, it doesn't mean that no one doesn't pay attention to their opinions. Comrade Jiang Cheng asked a question.

"I won't get involved in this matter, it depends on everyone's decision." Old Master Ye refused to express his opinion.

The attitude of Mr. Ye and others made many people confused, because no matter from any aspect of this matter, Ye Kai cannot take up all, and no matter how he calculates it, he will lose money.

Although rare earths are a treasure, under the current circumstances, the development and application level in China is relatively low, so export and foreign exchange earnings are also helpless, but the export price is still a bit painful, which makes people feel like they are useless. It is a pity to eat it.

If we could get about 150 tons of gold, no one would think it was a loss.

Rare earth rare earths. Although many people know that this thing is a good thing, they don’t know how it is, especially these people in the political arena. Most of their thoughts are spent on intrigue and fighting for power and profit, and their understanding of rare earths is even just about "a relatively valuable soil". This wrong understanding naturally makes them unable to face up to the true value of rare earths, and thus make wrong judgments.

In fact, for a long time, the rare earth industry has been chaotic and disorderly, the phenomenon of stealing and mining has been serious, and the export value is relatively low, which is inseparable from the leadership's understanding.

However, no one expressed opposition. Some people suggested that the Pingshuo open-pit coal mine was a very bad example. At the beginning, Americans said that cooperation was a good thing. Americans dug coal and could leave equipment and technical experience behind.

But the fact is that the other party's mining ability is too amazing. Before the contract expires, the coal is almost dug. Although the remaining equipment looks quite majestic, it has no effect anymore.

Based on the experience and lessons in this regard, some people have proposed that although Ye Kai can agree to exchange gold for rare earth mining rights and export rights, there must be a time limit, such as thirty years or fifty years? This matter must be determined first.

"That's thirty years, fifty years are a bit too long." Comrade Jiang Cheng said in the end.

Premier Yun, who was sick at the China Political Bureau meeting, also said, "Comrade Hong Zheng is required to deal with this matter as appropriate and try not to cause too much material discussion."

There is a reason why Premier Yun said this.

In any case, the privatization of mineral resources, even if it is privatization within a certain period of time, is a very sensitive matter, especially now there are still many old comrades who still have a lot of disagreements with the idea of ​​this market economy.

If the rare earth industry is private

If the melting incident is exposed, many people will probably start to discuss it again. It is worth noting that the demand for rare earths in Europe, the United States and other countries will also make this matter full of complex uncertainty.

So, no matter how you deal with it in the end, being low-key is still a kingly way.

"Since everyone has no objection, then that's it." Comrade Jiang Cheng said.

After the meeting, Mr. Ye was going to participate in a state reception event and took a step forward. The second old man asked Ye Ziping about the cause and effect of this matter.

"How could Xiao Kai have such an idea?" The second old man asked in confusion, "What a good thing to put it on me and keep 150 tons of gold?"

Gold is different from other things. Although gold is no longer pegged to the US dollar, in international trade, no one will refuse to accept the use of gold to pay because this thing is a precious metal, and all countries have to keep it as a warehouse for use, and the demand from the public is also very strong.

It is precisely for this reason that the central bank is coveting these 150 tons of gold, and he wishes to put them all into the vault and put them in the vault to suppress the vault.

"For the specific situation, Ye Kai had a plan in his mind, and he didn't explain it in detail." Ye Ziping whispered, "It may be that it is related to some plans in international strategy. This kid refused to say it too carefully, but he just said that it will take a relatively large action in the future, which is a big surprise."

"Is that true? If that's the case, it's a bit exciting." The second old man became very interested when he heard this. "What Ye Kai is thinking about must be a big deal."

"It's hard to say whether it's big or small. But in my personal opinion, the current situation of rare earth exports is indeed not optimistic. Instead of selling assets at a low price, it's better to integrate them. Ye Kai's desire to privatize the entire industry may not be a bad thing." Ye Ziping replied thoughtfully.

There is another reason, Ye Ziping didn't say it.

That is, as countries begin to try to join the World Trade Organization's preparations gradually unfold, the rare earth industry is also an important topic that cannot be avoided.

The reality now is that although there are certain research and development applications for rare earths in China, the development of the entire industry is relatively slow, and the demand and demand levels are relatively low. In order to support the entire rare earth industry, money is indispensable, so exports are still something that has to be done.

However, foreign countries are far ahead in the application of rare earths. What they need is rare earth products from the entire continent, and they also require the mainland to completely relax the export of rare earths.

However, if they really follow their requirements and wait until the mining and export of rare earths are completely relaxed, then the country's control over the rare earth industry will be really unable to use its arms.

When Ye Ziping thought of the various strategic resources stored in foreign warehouses after being sold at a low price, he felt a little uneasy. Instead of selling cheap foreigners at a low price, it would be better for Ye Kai to hoard them. Even if he doesn't need them, he can't let others live a better life. He used them to make cutting-edge weapons, which in turn threatens the national security of the mainland.

Although Ye Kai sold more than 100 tons of gold during this incident, which seemed to have suffered a great loss, he also got this batch of gold for nothing, so he naturally would not pay much attention to it, especially the value of his overseas assets is far exceeding the price of this batch of gold, so Ye Ziping felt that his son's approach was understandable.

However, Ye Ziping still underestimated the importance of the rare earth industry. He was not Ye Kai and did not have the life experience in the next twenty years. Naturally, he did not know how great the role of rare earths in the rapidly developing electronics industry.

Ye Kai quickly got the news that the senior management had agreed to his proposal and would make certain useful attempts to privatize the rare earth industry. This was also included in an important attempt to reform, which is whether the energy and resource industries can also introduce social resources and personal funds?

As a new and important issue, the privatization of the rare earth industry can naturally be handled specifically, which saves Ye Kai a lot of trouble.

Of course, Ye Kai could not come forward in person. Therefore, although he was the leader in this matter, the Nangong family was the last one to come forward. After receiving Ye Kai's call in advance, Nangong Yun flew directly from Germany to meet Ye Kai to discuss how to deal with this matter.

However, just as Ye Kai was actively planning the privatization of the rare earth industry, he responded. The ambassador of the Embassy in China urgently met with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that the changes in the rare earth industry in the mainland were seriously concerned about the changes in the mainland's rare earth industry, believed that the cooking in the mainland was incredible, and said that this matter would seriously affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
