Chapter 11 The Pros and Cons of Rare Earths

Zhang Ruixi was hesitating here, when she heard someone shouting over there, "Don't run away!"

A group of people rushed over, wanting to arrest Fan Wubing, and blocked a few policemen behind him.

When Zhang Ruixi saw this formation, he was also taken aback. He didn't know what outrageous thing Fan Wubing had done to provoke so many people to chase him, so he ran out with Fan Wubing.

The two of them got out of the building, got into the car, and after driving a long way, Zhang Ruixi took a breath, "Mr. Fan, what did you do that even the police came after you?"

"I met two Japanese just now, and I couldn't understand their faces, which made their noses bloom." Fan Wubing replied.

"Two Japanese? Are your noses blooming?" Zhang Ruixi laughed after hearing this, "Those two people seem to be Panasonic employees. I've seen them before. Why did you beat them up? But those two people have Nasty enough."

"Is Miss Zhang also harassed by them?" Fan Wubing asked casually.

Zhang Ruixi nodded and replied, "Probably everyone in the venue has been harassed by them."

In fact, Koreans are more repellent towards Japanese, especially the Korean peninsula was once colonized and ruled by Japanese for half a century, and the policy of cultural genocide was implemented there. The hatred of Koreans towards Japanese is far higher than that of Chinese. ^^^^

Seeing the Japanese being beaten, the Koreans will naturally not feel bored.

At this point, it is probably also related to the differences in the education models of the two countries.

The education received by Koreans is basically influenced by the Americans, so they hold a grudge, which is what the so-called Bible says. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood. The crimes they committed against the Japanese on the Korean peninsula. It is always kept in mind, and the textbooks not only describe Confucius as a Korean, but also deeply describe the crimes committed by the Japanese on the Korean peninsula. Therefore, Koreans have a deep-rooted hatred for Japan.

China is different. People who are deeply influenced by Confucianism in their bones are somewhat disdainful to entangle in the past. Anyway, those who are dead are already dead. What is important is what is alive, so history can be forgotten, and blood is indifferent after all. Everyone should unite and look at money. Then, as the richest Japanese in the world, he is naturally a good friend of the Chinese people. The friendship between China and Japan should continue and last forever, and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia can also be expected.

so. Whether it is private or official, everyone has seen the money of the Japanese, the Japanese investment in mainland China, how to win over the Japanese, and put their investment under their own control.

Increase the gdp of your own region. This is the top priority. As for the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, 30 million compatriots died somewhere, and it wasn't my family who died.

So Zhang Ruixi listened to what Fan Wubing said. He beat the Japanese, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart, but the first thought of the security guards and policemen at the scene was, why would someone beat a friendly countryman? If this news gets out, it will affect the diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and the friendly countries will be inexplicably surprised. How amazing? The murderer must be caught and punished severely.

Thinking of this, Fan Wubing couldn't help shaking his head.

The middle-aged man has also found out the details of the tall Chinese man. It turns out that he is a staff member doing chores for the Korean consulate. According to the data display. It should be collecting some information for the Koreans, or he is considering becoming a Korean citizen. Therefore, I am extra careful about what the embassy explained.

"I really don't want this matter to have anything to do with the consulate." The middle-aged man scratched his head, feeling a little troublesome.

"It is not very likely that the consulate will be directly involved in this kind of commercial espionage case. We should continue to follow the tall man to see what his next move is, who he will give the information to, and then think about it. == =" A subordinate suggested.

"What you said makes sense." The middle-aged man agreed with his subordinate's suggestion.

However, after passing by later, it was verified that what this subordinate said was true. The tall man did not take the information back to the embassy, ​​but gave the information to a Korean in a coffee shop a few streets away. , It was later confirmed that the Korean was an employee of Samsung.

"Now we have finally figured out their origins. They really are commercial espionage." After receiving the news, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if the consulate is involved, he can't make decisions.

He is purely helping Fan Wubing this time. Although the department has told him to help Fan Wubing as much as possible, if it involves international disputes, no one will come out to intercede with him. Fortunately, this is just A case of corporate espionage. After finding this out by himself, he can give Fan Wubing an explanation.

Fan Wubing drove Zhang Ruixi to the company's residence, and then sent her into the room.

"Have the mentors returned?" Zhang Ruixi asked. ^^^^

"Should be back, I'll go take a look." After Fan Wubing finished speaking, he ran to the old man's room to have a look, but there was no one, and Fan Kang and Xiao Qiang didn't come back either. It seems that he should go directly to book a plane ticket went.

Fan Wubing returned to his room, then opened the file folder he had taken from the tall man, read it again, and found that it was full of large documents composed of some professional terms, after reading it he was a little dizzy.

However, some of the materials attached later are about the sources of some strategic resources in China, including the flow of some metal and non-metal resources that are very important in military and civilian use. There is also a document about rare earths distribution of elements.

After Fan Wubing flipped through it, he found that there was a separate document in it, which was a distribution map of the mineral resources of the indium element, and mentioned that this element would be the most critical factor in the next few decades. Now, no matter for computer technology or liquid crystal screen technology, the importance of indium element is irreplaceable.

There is a section of analysis materials probably written by Zhang Ruixi himself, which says that China’s rare earth minerals account for more than half of the world’s reserves, and rare earth elements play a very important role in military and civilian production, but South Korea itself does not have any rare earths. Therefore, it is recommended that the company reserve China's rare earth resources to meet the needs of the application in the next few years. ^^^^

When Fan Wubing saw this, he immediately remembered about rare earth resources.

Why can the patriotic missile shoot down the Scud relatively easily? Why is it that although there is not much difference in the direct firing distance of the main guns of the American-made M1 and the Soviet-made T-72 tanks, the front can always fire earlier and more accurately? Why can F-22 fighter jets cruise with sound?

For each why, from a materials science perspective, rare earths can solve all of the above problems at once. Patriotic missiles can easily destroy Scud missiles because of the use of about four kilograms of samarium-cobalt magnets and neodymium-iron-boron magnets in its guidance system for electron beam focusing. Both samarium and neodymium are rare earth elements.

As for the F-22's sound cruise function, thanks to its powerful engine and light and strong airframe, they all use a large number of special materials created by rare earth technology. For example, the F119 engine blades and combustion chambers use flame-retardant titanium alloys. This titanium alloy is said to be made of rhenium, and the F-22's fuselage is even more armed with rare earth-strengthened magnesium-titanium alloys. Otherwise, in sound cruise, the powerful power of F119 is enough to destroy itself.

The development and application of rare earths have provided a powerful thrust engine for military science and technology in recent decades. The unimaginable military miracles in the Gulf War, the asymmetric control ability of the US military in the local wars after the Cold War, in a certain sense, it is the rare earths that have made this achievement.

Because of this, the exploitation and utilization of rare earths also breeds great dangers. On the one hand, more and more countries and military forces are participating in the competition and research of rare earths in order to gain asymmetric control over their opponents.

As a big country with the largest rare earth reserves in the world, China should strictly limit the mining of rare earths and immediately ban the export of rare earths.

In fact, the Chinese government does not pay attention to the development of rare earths. In 1991, rare earths were listed as national protected minerals. From the perspective of rare earth protection policies, specialized institutions, stable industry policies, and consistent overall control by the state, even PetroChina does not have such treatment. However, the results of decades of development of the rare earth industry have basically remained at the level of selling resources at a low price.

Fan Wubing still remembers what Deng Gong said during his southern tour last year, the Middle East has oil, and China has rare earths.

However, when developed countries have successively regarded rare earths as strategic resources and taken some actions, rare earths are more often regarded as ordinary commodities in exchange for foreign exchange in China.

China is the only country in the world that can supply large quantities of rare earth products of different grades and varieties. It can be said that China is supplying to the world regardless of cost with its door wide open.

"Today's incident reminded me." Fan Wubing pondered for a while, thinking that this was a turning point.

Nowadays, the mining of rare earths is basically carried out by state-owned enterprises, because the scale of private enterprises is not enough to reach the level of private mining and refining of rare earth minerals, and the state's control over rare earth mines is relatively strict. I'm doing it secretly, but I can't show it clearly. If you want to control it, now is more suitable.

Once the mining and export of rare earths are released, it will really be out of control.

When Fan Wubing thought of the various strategic resources hoarded in foreign warehouses after being sold at a low price, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Rather than selling cheap foreigners, he might as well hoard them by himself, even if he didn’t need them. Can't make others feel better!

What's more, if you raise the price yourself for export, it will make people in some countries anxious to jump into the river.
