Chapter 477 Rare earths can make the soul go to heaven
After talking about this matter, it was already noon. Jiang Songling asked the county government guest house to prepare a banquet for Qin Hai and Deng Shiheng. Qin Hai was not shy and attended happily. At the banquet table, the host and guest drank and chatted happily. The conversation was quite speculative. In the name of holding back Qin Hai's drink, Heizi successfully knocked down four or five Xinshan County officials. It was not until Jiang Songling smiled and raised his hand to beg for mercy that the melee at the wine table ended.
Seeing Qin Hai's behavior at the wine table, Jiang Songling was full of surprise. He didn't know which one was real, the approachable Qin Hai or the aggressive Qin Hai just now. However, Qin Hai was able to work with the officials of Xinshan County The wine fight at least proved that he did not want to embarrass the officials and that what he did was only for rare earths. Thinking this, Jiang Songling felt much calmer.
After dinner, Qin Hai declined Jiang Songling's offer to stay, and together with Heizi and Deng Shiheng, left Xinshan County by car and went to another neighboring county with large rare earth resources. There, the same scene was played out again, and finally It still ended with Qin Hai winning. Jiang Songling only heard about these things after the fact.
After seeing off Qin Hai, Jiang Songling came to the office of the county magistrate Jia Xiaodong and reported to him in detail the situation of Qin Hai's trip. After Jia Xiaodong listened carefully, he frowned and asked: "Old Jiang, what do you think this Qin Hai has?" Intend?"
"I can't tell." Jiang Songling said, "He just asked us to issue a notice to close the small mining site, but he did not ask the county [一][本][. I asked Deng Shiheng secretly at the wine table, and he said This Qin Hai came from the capital alone, and even his follower Xiaofu arrived later. According to this, he didn't have any law enforcement personnel at all. Did he really think that just issuing a notice would be enough? Can it solve the problem of small mining sites?”
"Could it be that he wants to use this matter to make things difficult for the county and then force the county to send law enforcement personnel to enforce the law?" Jia Xiaodong guessed.
In fact, what Jia Xiaodong was thinking about was not just about law enforcement, but whether Qin Hai had other ideas. Everyone from the central government to the local governments knew how difficult rare earth governance was, so Qin Hai faced the difficulties. Could it be that Is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intended for Pei Gong?
This kind of thing happened in the past. A petty official came down from above and made things difficult for the county under the pretext of a certain task. When the county felt that it was unbearable, the petty official would take the opportunity to put forward various demands and make the county Lose money and avoid disaster. Maybe this Qin Hai is such a character, but I don't know what he is planning.
Jiang Songling also thought of this. He thought for a while and said: "We have nothing to do with him. How can he make things difficult for the county? He asked us to send a notice, so we sent it. As for whether the following will comply with it, this This is a matter for small mine owners and has nothing to do with our county. He is just the deputy leader of a rare earth work leading group, so he doesn’t have much say in matters in the county, right?"
"What level is this deputy team leader?" Jia Xiaodong asked a question worthy of concern.
Jiang Songling was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't know what level it is. During the meal, I asked Director Deng. Director Deng said he didn't know either. He also said that this group was established under the leadership of the State Planning Commission, and the chairman of the Planning Commission The director is the leader of the group, and there are also seven or eight deputy leaders from ministries and commissions who serve as deputy leaders.”
"So, is this Qin Hai a deputy ministerial cadre?" Jia Xiaodong asked in surprise.
"No way?" Jiang Songling was also a little surprised. He frowned and said, "How can there be such a young deputy ministerial cadre? I think he is only in his early 20s. Even if he is promoted quickly in the ministry, he can only be a deputy director at most.
Right? If you are a deputy minister in your 20s, wouldn’t that mean you have to launch a satellite?”
The "XX Office" or "XX Leadership Working Group" in Chinese government agencies is a very strange organization. This kind of organization does not have a fixed establishment. It does not correspond to a specific level. Many leaders of the leadership working group,
Usually, senior officials such as ministers, provincial governors, and mayors are named, and at the level of deputy team leader, they are officials who actually handle matters. It is enough to find a division-level cadre or a section-level cadre to serve.
I'm afraid even the top leaders don't know how many such leadership working groups there are at all levels of government across the country. The "Steamed Bun Office" that has become a joke on the Internet in later generations is an organization like this. The authority of this organization can be large or small, and it is completely
It depends on how seriously the superior leaders attach importance to the matters involved.
The most crazy thing is that these institutions are all temporarily established to handle a specific matter at the beginning, but once they are established, they exist for a long time. Sometimes when the matter is done, the improvised personnel
It was also disbanded, but the official seal was still locked in someone's drawer, and the next document would suddenly be taken out at any time, leaving the local government at a loss as to what to do.
Jia Xiaodong also understood the above things. He said calmly: "No matter what level he is, in short, he represents the central government, and we must be more respectful. When we do things, we must try to be more thorough and don't let him
He found some loophole, otherwise when he returns to the capital and submits an internal reference, we will be in trouble."
"So, County Magistrate, do you want to temporarily close those small mining sites for a period of time until the limelight is over?" Jiang Songling asked. He felt a little pained to say this. After all, every mining site is owned by the county.
If the tax source is closed for one day, the tax revenue will be reduced for one day.
"Isn't this necessary?" Jia Xiaodong said, "The export situation of rare earths this year is very good, and the prices have also increased. Wouldn't it be difficult to make money by closing the mining sites at this time? If it is not possible, let some sites around the county be temporarily closed.
We don’t need to worry about production in remote towns. I don’t believe this young man would be willing to go to remote towns for inspections.”
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Songling said, "One more thing. When the county magistrate, Qin Hai came, he came up with a detailed list, which clearly listed the conditions of various mining sites in our county.
As a foreigner, he can master so much information. I suspect that someone from the relevant department in the county disclosed the situation to him. Do you want to investigate this matter?"
"Is there such a thing?" Jia Xiaodong's eyes widened. This was something that his uncle could not tolerate but his aunt could not tolerate. He ordered: "Of course we must find out this kind of person who cheats on everything... But now, first
Don't worry, wait until Qin Hai leaves Yunjiang Province. It's not appropriate to check his inside information in front of him."
"Understood. I'll have someone investigate privately first to see who is responsible for this." Jiang Songling replied.
After coming out of Jia Xiaodong's office, Jiang Songling immediately called Qiu Weiguang and arranged for him to print out the notice of closing small mining sites as soon as possible and send it to various mining sites. Since Qin Hai had explained this matter, Jiang Songling had to do it and not let Qin Hai do it.
Hai found the fault. As for if Qin Hai wanted to force the county to conduct a self-examination, Jiang Songling would not be so obedient and would argue with Qin Hai no matter what.
Several versions of the document regulating rare earth production have been stored in the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Qiu Weiguang found the person with the best writing skills in the bureau and quickly drafted it according to the original version, plus several precautions given by Qin Hai.
I wrote a manuscript. Then I asked the typing room to type it out and sent it to the county government to have it stamped with the official seal and sent to all townships in the county.
The Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources is well versed in doing this kind of thing. After the office printed the notice, it immediately arranged for all departments to dispatch personnel, either by car or bicycle, to various mining sites to issue notices. Qiu Weiguang told Qin Hai that the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources did not understand
The situation in private mining sites is just an excuse. In fact, they know it very well.
When the staff of the Bureau of Geology and Mines came to Xujiawan Township with the notice, Xin Jinlong, the largest mine owner in the township, was directing the work of extracting rare earths in front of the mine.
Xujiawan Township is the township with the richest rare earth reserves in Xinshan County. According to experts, every hilltop here is filled with rare earths, which can be sold for money as long as they are dug out. However, not all villagers are qualified to dig mountains.
In terms of mining, most of the rare earth mines here had been contracted by the township to Xin Jinlong, a native mine owner, a few years ago.
Xin Jinlong was originally a farmer in Xujiawan Township. His family had a large population and a heavy burden. A few acres of thin farmland could not support the whole family. So he borrowed money to buy a tricycle and went to the county town to work as a driver to earn money.
Spend the day.
A few years ago, he accidentally attracted a Japanese businessman who came to Xinshan County for inspection. He did not know which of his qualities won the favor of the businessman. The businessman secretly taught him tips and gave him a large sum of money.
With the money, he signed an agreement with the township and secured the management rights of all the hills in the township.
At that time, rare earth mining in Xinshan County had just started. Most people did not know what rare earths were or where they could be dug. Seeing that Xin Jinlong offered hundreds of thousands of yuan in contract fees to contract the barren hills,
The cadres of Xujiawan Township were first shocked and then delighted. They did not ask where the huge sum of money from Xin Jinlong came from, and directly transferred dozens of mountains to Xin Jinlong's name.
From then on, Xin Jinlong began his rare earth gold mining journey. He hired a group of villagers to first cut off the vegetation on the mountain, then dug out the soil, sent it to the leaching pool, separated the rare earth solution from it, and then transformed it into
They are rare earth oxides. Every once in a while, the mysterious Japanese businessman will reappear, transporting these rare earth oxides with a big truck, while leaving a lot of money to Xin Jinlong.
In less than a year, Xin Jinlong replaced his tricycle with a Bluebird sedan, and several adobe houses in his family have been demolished and turned into a three-story small foreign-style building. It turns out that he wears patches all year round.
The homespun jacket he wore was now replaced by a full-length designer suit, and he was also wearing a colorful "Yila De" tie. There was no way, he really couldn't learn how to tie a tie, so he could only use this most trouble-free solution.
.
In order to show that he was rich, he wore six or seven gold rings on his hands, and hung a large gold chain weighing half a kilogram around his neck. When he walked out, he could blind the eyes of the audience. Everyone who saw him
, a compliment will spontaneously arise in their hearts: Zhente Meow is a nouveau riche!
Xin Jinlong doesn't care what other people call him. In his opinion, being rich means having status. The more gold you have, the more respect you will get from others. It turns out that when he was riding a tricycle in the county, anyone could treat him badly.
He yelled and shouted, and when the women sat on his tricycle, they would cover their noses in disgust and dislike the smell of sweat on his body. But when he got on the Bluebird, all he received were envious looks. The township government
The few charming young women there would make excuses to ride in his car from time to time, claiming that they could get a taste of Mr. Xin's fragrance.
Columbus said that gold can make a person's soul go to heaven. Xin Jinlong didn't know who Columbus was, but he had the same feeling as Columbus, except that it was not gold that made his soul go to heaven, but ugly rare earths.
"Growing roots, Yao Wa, turn on the mixer and pour a bag of fertilizer into it. The material will come out soon."
Standing by the leaching pool, Xin Jinlong loudly ordered his workers. Although he is already a millionaire, Xin Jinlong is still accustomed to taking the lead and personally participating in the extraction of rare earths. He is worried that others cannot do as well as him, which will
It means that the money belonging to him will be greatly reduced.
In the southern rare earth mining area, the methods for extracting rare earths at various private mining sites are similar. These methods are surprisingly simple.
The mine owners built a cement pool the size of a basketball court halfway up the mountainside of the rare earth mine, connected it to water pipes, and bought a few tons of a specific fertilizer to extract rare earths. The specific process is to dig the metal from the mountain.
The original soil that has been removed is put into a cement pool, then sprinkled with chemical fertilizers, and watered with water pipes. The rare earths in the ionic form in the original soil will undergo a substitution reaction with the elements in the chemical fertilizers, forming a mixture rich in rare earth compounds.
The raw liquid will flow out from the bottom of the cement pool. After some simple processing of the raw liquid, the rare earth oxides will be separated.
Of course, there are also some mines that do not carry out such rare earth extraction work, but directly transport the mined rare earth raw materials abroad for extraction. As the state controls rare earth exports more and more strictly, large-scale raw material exports are easily discovered.
, so mine owners have adopted on-site extraction methods.
This rare earth extraction process is called the "pool leaching process". Its biggest feature is low investment and quick results. It can be called a golden finger for backward areas to get rid of poverty and become rich. Xin Jinlong first learned it from the Japanese businessman
In the past few years, he has used his intelligence and wisdom to continuously develop this craft, which has made him a legend of wealth.
Most of the rare earth mine owners in Xinshan County learned this technology from him and adapted it to their own mines. Throughout Xinshan County, there are no less than a hundred such extraction pools, spread across all villages. (
