In recent days, the international community has responded to the rumors of China's rare earth monopoly. It finally spread out gradually.

According to the New York Times, a large rare earth mine with both light rare earth and heavy rare earth has been discovered in the United States recently in the Diamond River region of Idaho and the Lemhai Pass at the junction of Idaho and Montana.

If the U.S. Rare Earth Mining Corporation's assessment of the above-mentioned mineral deposits is accurate, these two sites can now meet the domestic demand for rare earths in the United States for a long time, and Iowa is therefore called the U.S. Rare Earth State.

The CEO of the American Rare Earth Mining Company said that it can now be determined that the Diamond River area is the rare earth mine in North America with the largest reserves and the least difficult to mine. Moreover, there are power plants and roads not far from the above-mentioned production areas, and production will soon be put into operation. However, the mining costs of these minerals are relatively high, and the company may need to invest 500 million or even 1 billion US dollars in investment.

The US media also pointed out that rare earth exploration in Idaho started five years ago, but it was delayed for a long time because the project was not urgent. Recently, China has been increasing rare earth export prices and controlling the export volume of rare earths. The price of rare earths in the international market has soared, and this has enabled relevant exploration work to become active again. Just as Russia has previously included rare earth reserves and production data in state secrets, the importance of rare earth resources has become increasingly prominent.

However, according to the US media, the discovery of rare earths does not mean the end of the process. From re-exploring rare earth states to putting rare earth resources into use in the United States, different links of the entire process. Still have to face major challenges. In addition to high mining costs, rare earth processing and separation technology is very difficult and complex. Therefore, most of the rare earths mined by Uncle Sam are likely to eventually be shipped to China, which has unique rare earth separation equipment.

The problem that cannot be ignored is that the United States still has to face the challenge of insufficient rare earth resource reserves and poor access channels. Statistics show that China currently has the richest rare earth resources in the world, about six times that of the United States. At the same time, the U.S. Congress also agreed that the dominant position in global rare earth supply and production belongs to China, which means that the United States does not hold the initiative to acquire rare earth resources in its own hands at all.

The US House of Representatives also proposed a motion a few days ago, suggesting that the United States take measures to establish a globally competitive domestic strategic raw material industry to ensure self-sufficiency in the US domestic market and realize the diversification of mining, processing, smelting, and manufacturing. At the same time, the bill also requires the Ministry of National Defense to start purchasing rare earth minerals that are vital to national security and include them in the national reserve, especially after the law takes effect, the National Defense Reserve Center should directly purchase rare earths from China for use in the next five years.

In addition, the bill calls for confirmation of the current global rare earth market conditions, foreign countries’ judgments on its strategic value, and the vulnerability of the Pentagon’s and domestic manufacturing industries’ rare earth supply chains. It also requires the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of the Interior and The Secretary of State and Assistant Ministers respectively appointed assistant ministers to form a special interdepartmental working group to assess the supply chain of rare earth resources and decide on rare earth raw materials that are critical to national and economic security.

"Some analysts pointed out that the above bill does not require federal investment, and the industry also tends to implement policy legislation instead of seeking large-scale financial support. This shows that the bill and related actions of the industry are more important Emphasizing the raising of rare earth resource reserves to a strategic height, the United States has clearly adjusted its own rare earth strategic reserves." Zi Qi on the TV screen is discussing with guests a series of recent rare earth policies in Europe, America and Japan against China. "In fact, Europe has also made the same choice in a situation similar to that of the United States. Not long ago, the EU announced the establishment of a strategic reserve of rare earths. The EU will seek to establish better and less susceptible access to raw materials in the global market. Intensify the exploration and exploitation of raw materials within Europe. At the same time, the EU will also improve the efficiency of raw material utilization and shorten the recycling cycle to reduce the EU's raw material demand."

“Rare earths are called industrial vitamins, and they have extremely important uses in the military field, especially in missile guidance. China controls more than 90% of the world’s production of rare earth resources. Deng Gong once compared China’s rare earths with the Middle East’s oil In contrast, overseas media said that OPEC can only control about two-thirds of the world’s oil reserves, but China can control 93% of rare earths, but we must also see that China supplies cheap cabbage to the world at the price of Chinese cabbage. Rare earths have been around for many years. Now that China wants to relocate this resource and control its exports, the West is calling for China to tighten the neck of the world. This is unfair!” A researcher as a guest said in response to the opinions of Europe and the United States. Objected.

Shen Ying was sitting on the sand and was drinking porridge. When she saw Fan Wubing watching the "Daily Financial Interview" program hosted by Zi Qi, she said with a smile. "In front of my wife, what kind of mood should it be to watch a TV show hosted by my lover?"

Facing Shen Ying's weird problems, Fan Wubing had already become adaptable. He scratched his head when he heard the words, and said, "Why? It should be more complicated."

When Shen Ying was about to continue asking him about the complicated method, Fan Wuyi's phone rang again.

Fan Wuyao picked up and listened for a while, but the relationship has been good. The beauty reporter Sheng Wei of "Oriental News Interview" called over, hoping to interview Fan Wuyao about the rare earth situation that has recently begun to be hyped. Just read the novel~

"Well--" Fan Wubing thought about it, then looked at Shen Ying, and then replied, "Okay."

The next day, Fan Wubing saw that Shen Ying was in better condition, so he didn’t let her go for infusions. For ordinary people, if they don’t have any experience of infusion, or the problem can be solved once, of course this also needs to be done. It depends on the situation, if the inflammation is more severe, then you have to follow the doctor's instructions to infuse enough times.

The company in Lingxi Province in the middle called and said that Pang Mingyu’s case finally had a preliminary conclusion, and he planned to be sentenced to 11 years for corruption, bribery and negligence. Instead, Yang Lili’s husband Ji Yongqing and others still sent the sentence. Very high. Although the death penalty set in the first instance and the second instance is abandoned, it still has to be sentenced to 15 years in prison.

"The shielding psychology of Lingxi Province is still quite serious." Fan Wubing was very dissatisfied with this. If you look at Pang Mingyu’s crimes and their harmfulness, a death sentence is more appropriate, and the deterrent effect on criminals should also be better. The current solution for such a painless treatment is simply tickling it. .

The so-called eleven-year imprisonment, at the deputy ministerial level, it is estimated that he will be able to hang out after two years. Fan Wubing doesn’t want to see Pang Mingyu swaggering in the streets with embezzlement in another two years. The money was squandered, so he felt that he should do something.

Of course, this meaning cannot be uttered directly by one's own mouth. In that case, even if a businessman is involved in politics, the influence will be relatively bad. You also need to be concerned about your identity and cannot cross the boundary. Otherwise, it will easily cause suspicion, so this One thing still needs to save Lingxi a lot of effort.

So Fan Wuyao made a statement with the branch in Lingxi Province, which means that the conditions in Lingxi Province are still a little worse compared to the brother provinces, and the possibility of being a major aviation manufacturing base is relatively small. Or maybe this aviation manufacturing base will be selected in the eastern provinces.

This intention quickly reached the ears of Guan Luping, the governor of Lingxi Province, and he suddenly felt that the news was a bit strange.

As the governor of Lingxi Province, Guan Luping has frequent contacts with the Lingxi Provincial Branch of Fan Investment Group, especially after Fan and his sons have recently inspected the entire Lingxi Province. The attention of the Lingxi branch of the group has increased by more than one level.

This time, the intention to deal with Pang Mingyu's case was able to reach Fan Wuyi's ears so quickly. In fact, it was also facilitated by the information exchange between them and the Lingxi Provincial Branch of Fan's Investment Group. At this time, Fan Wuyi's feedback came back, which was obviously inconsistent with the previous considerations.

Then the only possibility is that Fan Wubing is very dissatisfied with Pang Mingyu's handling opinions, so he proposed the location of the transfer of the aviation industry manufacturing base.

However, Guan Luping also felt a little embarrassed. In Pang Mingyu’s case, the influence that Lingxi Province could wield was certainly present, but not very large. The most important thing was to look at the opinions above, even though the highest level meant Deal with it realistically, but there are always people in the middle link. As a result, this case gradually turned into a crime that weakened Pang Mingyu, and Lingxi Province had no influence on this.

Besides, as a provincial-level cadre, even Guanlupingping people are unwilling to fall into trouble at this time. Otherwise, let’s not say what kind of backlash will be caused, and the future influence on them will be very bad.

Therefore, Guan Lu Ping-Ping discussed it and added Pang Mingyu's crime information, which was enough to make him bear the main responsibility in this case. I thought that this time Pang Mingyu could be sent to heaven, right?

Just after they passed on the new treatment plan to Fan Wubing, the judge in charge of the case said that it would be 20 years at most, and that it would not be considered if it was too long, and that Lingxi Province did not need to provide any new information. The evidence is out.

After the news reached Fan Wubing's ears, Fan Wubing immediately became angry. If he originally hoped that Pang Mingyu should be sentenced to life, he would be satisfied, then his current mind is that Pang Mingyu must be sentenced to death.

The opinions of several Politburo Standing Committee members are not respected, and the middle-level people are too courageous!

Therefore, Fan Wubing made it very clear that if Pang Mingyu is not dead, the environment in Lingxi Province is uneasy. Not only is the aviation manufacturing base missed by Lingxi Province, it is also the Fan Investment Group’s other investments, and Lingxi Province will not be considered.

As a result, the officials of Lingxi Province felt tremendous pressure, and they could feel the anger from Fan Wuyao. Although they were not sure whether this was also the meaning of Fan Heng and other high-level officials, but at least The situation ahead is that once Fan’s Investment Group no longer considers investing in Lingxi Province, and the new aviation manufacturing base does not consider Lingxi Province, this will directly cause Lingxi Province to not be able to enjoy what it originally belonged to in the next few years. A piece of my own rich and big cake.

What position do officials rely on? Isn't it a political achievement? If you want to achieve political success now, it is nothing more than a big gdp number. If the aviation industry manufacturing base led by Fan Wuyi is really settled in Lingxi Province, then the huge investment will immediately make the entire Lingxi Province’s economy boom. Take off, not to mention the long-term promotion effect of the whole plan on Lingxi Province.

If Fan Wuyao or even Fan Heng behind him is offended by Pang Mingyu’s affairs, not only will he not be able to make good deeds financially, but also in terms of promotion and appointment, it will not pass Fan Heng as a member of the Standing Committee. A casting vote! To approve or disagree is just a matter of change in the eyes of other members of the Standing Committee. But for them, provincial officials who want to be promoted, it is equivalent to a judgment of life and death!

Trying to figure out the intentions of leaders has always been the top priority for officials. At this time, such obvious leadership intentions are placed in front of oneself. It is clear at a glance how to choose between them. There is no suspicion of falling into the rock, but it is the best time for me to cast an effect on Fan Heng and Fan Wuyi's father and son.

Once they have received the double care of their father and son in the political and business circles, it is just around the corner.

After understanding this situation, I will no longer hesitate how to choose ~ lightnovelpub.net~ So Guan Luping arranged it, and immediately more of Pang Mingyu’s misdeeds were released, and several murder cases were also exposed. , All involved Pang Mingyu's body, and the combined punishment of multiple crimes was enough to make Pang Mingyu go to heaven.

As a matter of fact, once the grassroots tears the skin, you must punish someone to death. That can burst enough power. Just like now, biting Pang Mingyu and holding on, even the higher courts will not let go. However, favoring this kind of thing can only be done within a certain degree. Once a certain bottom line is passed, they cannot withstand the pressure.

And the biggest obstacle in this matter is that the grassroots and upper levels have the same attitude towards Pang Mingyu, so it is too difficult to operate.

Therefore, two days later, the verdict on Pang Mingyu came down, the death penalty.

However, in order to vent their dissatisfaction, Ji Yongqing and others involved in the case were also sentenced to death and were buried with Pang Mingyu.

Fan Wuyi didn’t have any opinion on this. His wife could send someone out for the leader to play with. His character was not much better. He followed the leader to the practice field. If he died, he was considered dead. Anyway, Everyone is burdened.
