Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Zhao Hengbo smiled bitterly and said: "With the strength of Zhiyuan Mining Group, the domestic rare earth industry is probably going to be bloody and reshuffled again!"

"Brother Zhao, Zhiyuan Mining Group has an evaluation report on the domestic rare earth industry. After reading it, I still can't understand something. Why has the rare earth market been so low in the past two years? Some rare metals are even unique to our country. , the price actually dropped all the way! Why is this?" Chang Yonggui asked with a frown.

Zhao Hengbo sighed and said: "Brother Chang, you are on to something with this question! In the past few years, when the rare earth market was good, the phenomenon of random mining of rare earth mines in various places has revived, and the level of domestic rare earth finishing is relatively backward. The result is that everyone is bargaining with each other and selling precious ore resources to Japanese and Western rare earth compound smelting companies at cabbage prices!"

Chang Yonggui also sighed: "Alas! Don't you feel bad for selling your own land! Can't the phenomenon of indiscriminate mining of rare earth mines be controlled? China's unique precious resources have no pricing power! Zhiyuan Mining Group is desperately trying to put these Precious rare earth resources are brought back from abroad, only to find that they have been sold at cabbage prices. This is nothing!"

Chang Yonggui's sincere complaint made Zhao Hengbo's heart skip a beat. A strange idea suddenly came to his mind and he asked tentatively: "Zhiyuan Mining Group has chosen this time to get involved in the field of rare earth smelting and purification. The timing seems not very good. ?Brother Chang, have you heard any rumors? Isn’t the Metallurgical Industry Bureau preparing to regulate the rare earth industry?"

Chang Yonggui pretended to be covert, waved his hands and said: "As an old man who retires at home, what kind of rumors can I hear? But to be honest, the rare earth industry does need to be regulated!"

"You, Mr. Yang, have a close relationship with Director Liao. They have helped Director Liao solve difficult problems many times. There was successful cooperation in the localization of the rolling mill automated production line. If the Metallurgical Industry Bureau wants to integrate and manage the rare earth industry, Director Liao The first thing that comes to mind should be Zhiyuan Mining Group, right?" Zhao Hengbo said thoughtfully.

Chang Yonggui chuckled and said: "I'll look at you with admiration after three days of separation! I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Zhao..."

"Is it really necessary to regulate and rectify the rare earth industry?" Zhao Hengbo asked hurriedly.

"Hush! In fact, there is no rectification. We just want to eliminate some enterprises with backward production capacity and technology. We are currently at a critical moment in the WTO negotiations. The government does not want to intervene too much administratively, so it wants to test their viability through the market. In the end, the fittest will survive!" Chang Yonggui made a silent gesture before lowering his voice.

"Ah? Test viability through the market?" Zhao Hengbo asked puzzledly.

"Mr. Zhao, it is not convenient for me to disclose the specific plan for the time being. It will be adjusted at any time based on the evaluation reports of major rare earth companies. However, what is certain is that in the next two years, the rare earth industry will experience an unprecedented period of pain!" Chang Yong Gui said a little embarrassed.

"Brother Chang, we have known each other for so many years, don't you understand who I am? I know that it is really inconvenient for you to reveal such a big business secret. Can you give me some tips so that I can prepare in advance to deal with the industry? Labor pain! You also know that in a large state-owned factory like ours, behind every worker is a family, we can’t afford to lose!" Zhao Hengbo played the emotional card.

Chang Yonggui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhao, please don't embarrass me! I can reveal so much to you, which already violates my principles of life!"

The scheming Chang Yonggui understands every weakness of human nature: the more he refuses to say anything, the more Zhao Hengbo believes in his words...

"Brother Chang, you are a senior in the non-ferrous metal industry! It is not a violation to give us some suggestions on the direction of business, right?"

Under Zhao Hengbo's hard words, Chang Yonggui said helplessly: "That's it! That's it! It seems that you won't let me go if I don't reveal anything!"

"Brother Chang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness..." Zhao Hengbo said gratefully.

"Actually, with your wisdom, you should be able to imagine it! Even if Yang Mo has three heads and six arms, Zhiyuan Mining Group alone cannot complete this matter..." Chang Yonggui said in a low voice.

"Oh? You mean Zhiyuan Mining Group needs allies?" Zhao Hengbo asked thoughtfully.

"Mr. Zhao is really not simple! No wonder he has achieved such great achievements now!" Chang Yonggui expressed his thumbs up in admiration.

Chang Yonggui's words were very helpful to Zhao Hengbo's ears. He pretended to be humble and waved his hands and said: "Brother Chang, please stop making fun of me! I heard that Mr. Yang Mo said this I happen to be in Yanjing, could you ask Brother Chang to introduce me to you?"

Chang Yonggui thought for a while and then said: "Tomorrow's non-ferrous metal industry meeting starts at 10 o'clock. How about I ask him if he can come over in advance? In the reception room of the guest house, you two can meet and talk?"

"Okay, okay! Brother Chang, please!" Zhao Hengbo nodded in agreement.

Chang Yonggui returned to the room, dialed Yang Mo's mobile phone, and repeated the conversation with Zhao Hengbo exactly...

At nine o'clock the next morning, Yang Mo showed up at the guest house of the Metallurgical Industry Bureau on time.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Yang Mo smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Chang and I have known each other for so many years, and I have never seen him praise someone like this. It seems that you two have a close relationship?"

Chang Yonggui explained with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Zhao has indeed been my friend for many years. It just so happened that he also wanted to cooperate with Zhiyuan Mining Group, so I took it upon myself to agree to an interview with you..."

"It's really none of Brother Chang's business. It's my fault. I heard that Zhiyuan Group intends to get involved in the field of rare earth smelting and purification, so I asked Brother Chang to introduce him to see if there are any cooperation opportunities?" Zhao Hengbo explained with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay! Mr. Zhao is a senior in the domestic rare earth industry. I just want to ask you about the current situation of the domestic rare earth industry and your views on the future development of the industry. I hope Mr. Zhao will not hesitate to give me some advice!" Yang Mo said politely.

Chang Yonggui waved his hand and said: "Since we are all our own people, you should stop flattering each other and talk about something substantive!"

"Mr. Yang, it is said that after this non-ferrous metal industry meeting, the Metallurgical Industry Bureau is preparing to introduce a plan to integrate and manage the rare earth industry?" Zhao Hengbo pondered for a while and asked tentatively.

Yang Mo raised his head and glanced at Chang Yonggui intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao is very well-informed!"

Chang Yonggui hurriedly explained: "I didn't say anything! Mr. Zhao knows more than me, and nothing can escape his eyes!"

Zhao Hengbo smiled bitterly and said: "It really has nothing to do with Brother Chang. These are all my personal speculations..."
