Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Are these all your guesses?" Liao Tingxuan asked with squinted eyes.

Yang Mo nodded: "Director Liao, disorderly and vicious competition has existed in the domestic rare earth industry for a long time, but the country has turned a blind eye and has been unwilling to solve this stubborn problem, just to make foreign rare earth production lines unable to survive, right? In recent years, this has indeed been achieved. As a result, most foreign rare earth compound refining companies have basically closed their overseas production lines and moved their factories to China!"

Liao Tingxuan pondered for a long time and then said: "You are indeed very smart and strategic! But have you ever thought about it? If the price of rare earths suddenly rises, Western countries will also revise their rare earth strategies and restart the sealed rare earth mines. Even rebuild the rare earth industry chain!"

Yang Mo nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out! However, this round of surge is obviously caused by capital manipulation. Western countries will not make any changes because of this. They are still more inclined to use financial means to plunder the resources of other countries..."

"Are you so sure?" Liao Tingxuan asked with a frown.

"Of course! The deeper reason behind it is that capital is unwilling to invest in the unprofitable rare earth industry chain in developed countries! Due to the environmental protection policies of developed countries and expensive labor costs, it is difficult for rare earth mining companies to survive and consume a lot of money. If the invested rare earth production line cannot obtain corresponding returns, capital will not invest!" Yang Mo said confidently.

"You are dancing on the edge of a knife! Although your judgment makes sense, try not to irritate Western governments. Once the rare earth supply chain is tense and affects the high-end manufacturing and aerospace industries, they will use subsidies or tax policies to Guide capital investment in the rare earth industry chain!" Liao Tingxuan advised.

"I think that as long as the country does not introduce export control policies, Western countries will not have an overreaction. A few protests are just a matter of money. The thunder is loud but the rain is small. In the case of rare earth futures, the Metallurgical Industry Bureau will issue relevant regulations in the future. !" Yang Mo said.

"Introducing relevant regulations?" Liao Tingxuan asked in confusion.

Yang Mo nodded: "State-owned rare earth companies must be strictly prohibited from privately participating in rare earth futures trading! To avoid causing irreparable losses to the country, of course, it does not mean that you cannot touch rare earth futures, but you must pay attention to the method. State-owned enterprises that want to engage in rare earth futures trading , you can send special personnel to trade the remaining production capacity under the guidance of the State Reserve Bureau!"

Liao Tingxuan pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "Yes! A precedent like Rodia's cannot be repeated with our state-owned enterprises!"

...............

Pengcheng City, Huaqiangbei SEG Science and Technology Park.

Yang Mo stood at the door of SEG Technology Park blankly.

After a while, Yang Mo took out a pack of cigarettes and started chatting with the security guard.

"Dude! I heard there is a start-up Internet company in this community?"

"What is the Internet?"

Yang Mo found that he couldn't explain what the Internet was, so he asked in a different way: "It's just a new company founded by a few young people. They probably stay in their rooms every day and don't go out much..."

"A new company just established by a few young people? Never heard of it..." the security guard shook his head and said.

"Have you ever heard of Tencent Technology Company?" Yang Mo continued to ask patiently.

The security guard still shook his head.

At this moment, a young man behind him suddenly asked: "Sir, are you looking for Tencent Technology Company?"

Yang Mo turned his head and saw a strange young man, so he smiled and nodded.

"I am Chen Yidan from Tencent Technology Company. What can I do for you?" the strange young man asked politely.

"Yang Mo of Zhiyuan Group, I would like to have a chat with Mr. Ma. Isn't it convenient?" Yang Mo said with a smile and stretched out his hand.

Chen Yidan's eyes widened and he said incoherently: "Are you Yang Mo? No wonder you look so familiar. Of course it's convenient. I'll take you there..."

Yang Mo followed Chen Yidan and walked to the door of a unit in a building.

This world is really amazing. Great Internet companies such as Apple, Cisco, and Google were all born in community garages. Tencent is more respectable and can afford to rent a unit.

Chen Yidan took out the key and opened the door. The smell of a college boys' dormitory came to his face...

Chen Yidan smiled awkwardly and said: "It's so messy! I'll tell them to get up..."

Yang Mo smiled and said: "I understand, I understand!"

You can imagine what it would be like to have several grown men crammed into a single unit for food, housing, and work.

Chen Yidan pushed open the door of the back room, woke them up one by one, and said in a low voice: "Get up and clean up quickly, Yang Mo has come to our company..."

"It's so noisy that I can't let anyone sleep! Why is Yang Mo here? Can't you just receive him..."

"Which Yang Mo? Are you your friend?"

"Fuck! Chen Yidan, you're not talking about Yang Mo of Zhiyuan Group, are you?"

"What do you say?"

After a rustling sound of getting dressed, brushing teeth, and washing faces, several people dressed neatly and walked out of the room...

Yang Mo looked at the bewildered young people with interest for a while, then asked with a smile: "Who is Mr. Ma? I am Yang Mo of Zhiyuan Group. I am taking the liberty to visit you. Please forgive me!"

A young man wearing glasses stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "I am Ma Huateng. Mr. Yang, you are too polite. This room is too messy. How about we go to the teahouse outside to chat?"

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "I understand, I want to start a business! When I went to Xiangjiang, I lived in a shanty town, and the conditions were far worse than yours..."

After all, Yang Mo moved outside and walked out. He really couldn't stand the strange smell in the unit.

Yang Mo could have made a phone call or asked a staff member to invite these young people to Zhiyuan Heavy Machinery for interviews, but he still chose this sudden attack, which gave these young people a strong sense of oppression. !

A tea restaurant at the entrance of SEG Technology Park.

"Boss, give us a quiet private room and serve two pots of the best tea!"

After Yang Mo finished speaking, he looked back at the young people behind him and said, "Here are some of your more unique snacks..."

After a while, the waiter brought two pots of tea and some exquisite snacks.

"You're welcome! Let's have some snacks first. I know that people in your line of work often stay up late and work overtime. When you get up late, you probably haven't had breakfast, right?" Yang Mo said with a smile.

It has both a sense of oppression and affinity. Yang Mo is extremely familiar with the mastery of these details...

After several young people finished their breakfast with some restraint, they all waited for Yang Mo to speak.

Yang Mo smiled and asked: "How long has Tencent Technology been established?"

"It was registered on November 98, 11! It has been more than a year..." Chen Yidan was obviously more active than the others and rushed to answer.

"I heard that you are developing an instant messaging software?" Yang Mo then asked.
