Seeing Du Hongyuan's attitude, Zhu Xiaochuan's face showed a look of satisfaction... He said in a deep voice: "Old Du, is Li Tianyi interested in the interests of our lithium mine in Mojin Town?
It's hard to say, but one thing is certain, that is, he is very concerned about the problems that exist in our Mojin Town. This time he plans to personally take charge of the precise poverty alleviation work in Mojin Town. His fundamental purpose should be to
'Find out' the specific situation of our Mojin Town lithium mine. Therefore, you two have an important task, which is to find a way to prevent Li Tianyi from 'finding out' the specific situation of our Mojin Town lithium mine, especially the Mojin Town lithium mine.
The production status of the mine.”
Du Hongyuan said quickly: "County Magistrate Zhu, please rest assured that as long as there are two of us here, Li Tianyi will be suppressed by us at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain in our Mojin Town, even if he has hands and eyes."
At this moment, in Li Tianyi's office, Li Tianyi and Liu Zhuang were studying basic information on lithium mines.
Lithium is the lightest metal in nature. It has a silvery white color, a specific gravity of 0.534, a melting point of 180c, and a boiling point of 1347c. Lithium is an active metal, very soft, and can spontaneously ignite in oxygen and air. Lithium is also an important energy metal.
The application of high-energy lithium batteries and controlled thermonuclear reactions makes lithium an important raw material to solve the long-term energy supply of mankind.
In the 1950s, due to the need to extract the isotope 6li for nuclear fusion in the development of lithium, the lithium industry developed rapidly, and lithium became an important raw material for the production of lithium, neutron bombs, and proton bombs. Lithium compounds are also widely used in the glass, ceramics, and aluminum smelting industries.
, lithium-based grease and air conditioning, medicine, organic synthesis and other industries. Lithium series products are widely used in smelting, refrigeration, atomic energy, aerospace and ceramics, glass, grease, rubber, welding, medicine, batteries, etc.
Industry. There are less than ten countries in the world with lithium ore resources, and China is the only one in Asia.
After Li Tianyi read the information, his face became gloomy. Li Tianyi pointed at the material and looked at the fat man. Liu Zhuang asked: "Liu Zhuang, after reading the information, did you think of anything?
?”
Liu Zhuang's eyes carefully searched the materials, thinking about Li Tianyi's true intention in asking this question.
Finally, the fat man's eyes fell on the last sentence and said in a deep voice: "Boss, do you mean to say that China is the only one in Asia that has lithium mines."
Li Tianyi nodded and said: "Fat man, think about it. With the development of new energy vehicles in the future, the application of high-energy lithium batteries will become more widespread. The amount is quite huge. Especially now, many countries
It has been made clear that traditional cars will be gradually abandoned and new energy vehicles adopted after 2020. By that time, lithium ore, an important production element for new energy vehicles, will become a very important strategic resource.
Now, countries such as Japan and South Korea are purchasing large amounts of lithium metal from our country on a large scale every year, and our country has many large and small lithium mining companies. In particular, there are so many small lithium mining companies.
'Mao', and our lithium mining industry in Mojin Town, Baoyi County is a typical representative of small-scale lithium industry.
As small lithium mining companies, their bargaining power is limited, but the advantage is that the mining cost is relatively low. Therefore, even if the market price is 100,000 yuan per ton, they can still make a lot of money, because for them, mining lithium
The cost of ore is relatively low.
Therefore, as long as they can sell it for money, they will not hesitate to produce it. Now, the price of a ton of lithium on the market is more than hundreds of thousands. In this case, those lithium mining companies will definitely produce like crazy.
We need to be clear, although the price of lithium metal is not low now. However, as the market changes, especially when new energy vehicles gradually replace traditional cars, the demand for lithium metal will become even more enthusiastic. By that time
, the price of lithium metal will rise several times or even dozens of times.
Because this price is controlled by the market, and even more by supply and demand, Japanese and Korean companies are now hoarding and purchasing lithium metal on a large scale because they have long-term considerations. People are looking at things ten years from now, and our domestic
Companies, especially lithium mining companies, are only focusing on the present. They think that as long as they can make money, especially these small lithium mining companies, they will do anything to make money. Even some of our local governments will use these methods for the so-called investment promotion.
Lithium resources and their low prices are sold to foreign investors. This is simply putting the cart before the horse."
Speaking of this, Li Tianyi showed a dignified look in his eyes.
He suddenly slammed the table and said, "No, I'm running out of time now. I have to write a document and submit it directly to the province."
Liu Zhuang said tentatively: "Boss, do you plan to suggest that the province list lithium resources as a strategic resource in Baiyun Province?"
Li Tianyi nodded: "Why not write it like this? I think that due to the scarcity of lithium resources and the widespread application of lithium resources, in the next twenty or thirty years, lithium resources will become as scarce as rare earth resources
Resources. If we can control the mining and sales of lithium resources, then we may have the say in raw materials in the world's automotive industry in the future.
This will be very good news for our country’s automobile companies. Let’s not forget that it is precisely because in the past 100 years, Western countries have controlled the say in automobile engine manufacturing technology that our country has been in the automobile industry.
The industry has always been in a very passive position. With the rise of new energy vehicles, we must seize this opportunity if we want to overtake in corners.
What is the core technology in new energy vehicles? It is high-energy battery technology. And what is the most widely used high-energy battery? It is lithium battery."
When Li Tianyi said this, Liu Zhuang also showed excitement on his face. He nodded and said: "Boss, you are right. The batteries of electric vehicles produced in many countries now are lithium batteries."
.Therefore, with the promotion of new energy vehicles in the future, lithium metal will inevitably become a resource that all automobile manufacturers need to use. At this time, if we master the market pricing power of lithium metal, it will not only affect our country’s automobile companies
It’s good, even for our country’s lithium mining companies.”
Li Tianyi's style is to just do what he says. After realizing the importance of lithium resources, and with a lot of information at hand, Li Tianyi immediately settled down and started writing the proposal document. It took a full five hours.
, Li Tianyi wrote out the proposal document. The entire document was completed in one go. After writing it, Li Tianyi checked it carefully, took the document and drove directly to Liaoyuan City, the provincial capital.
The next morning, Li Tianyi went directly to the office of Executive Vice Governor Zhu Yuncheng. When Zhu Yuncheng read Li Tianyi's proposal document, the expression on his face became solemn.
Zhu Yuncheng looked at Li Tianyi and said: "Li Tianyi, your idea is very advanced, but you should know that if you really want to position your mineral resources as strategic resources of our Baiyun Province, you will need to go through a lot of procedures. Even
It will cause a lot of objections. The reason is very simple, because our Baiyun Province, as a province with major lithium resources, has many lithium mining companies, including two large lithium mining companies. Once you want to position lithium resources as strategic resources
If so, it will inevitably affect the exports of these large lithium mining companies, which will directly affect their profits. Do you think, in this case, they will fight back?"
Li Tianyi said with a smile: "Governor Zhu, I am naturally aware of these things, but as an official, I think it is necessary for us to look further ahead and not limit ourselves for the long-term interests of the country and people.
Instead of focusing on the past few years, we must look to the next ten years or even decades. Isn’t the current predicament our country’s automobile industry is in not realistic enough? Isn’t it enough to remind everyone?
Take a look, among so many car companies, how many of them can really create their own car brands? Especially those joint venture cars, how many of them have really developed their own brands of cars? Even those with independent
Brand-name automobile companies, don’t they also import many of their automobile engines?
Anyone familiar with the automobile industry knows that the market pricing power of engines is in the hands of foreign companies. Companies in our country that import car engines can only act based on other people's faces. If others want to increase prices, our cars
Enterprises will follow suit to raise prices, or the price of complete vehicles will not increase, but the distribution will be reduced. Why are there so many cars with reduced distribution in our country's auto market?"
That's all Li Tianyi said.
Zhu Yuncheng fell into deep thought.
After a full ten minutes, Zhu Yuncheng slowly raised his head and said: "Li Tianyi, your proposal document is very forward-looking. I will take it to Secretary Cheng to take a look at it personally. Finally,
Whether this proposal should be brought to the Standing Committee for discussion is an opinion that needs to be noted."
Li Tianyi said with a smile: "Governor Zhu, the main reason I came here today is to tell you my thoughts. As for whether the provincial party committee will pass this opinion, I have no way to influence everyone, but I plan to give it a try in our precious time."
Yi County positions lithium ore resources as our strategic resources in Baoyi County, and the export of lithium ore resources must be strictly controlled."
When Li Tianyi came back from Liaoyuan City, the capital of Baiyun Province, the fat man Liu Zhuang had already placed a thick stack of materials on Li Tianyi's desk, looked at Li Tianyi and said: "Boss, I'm not sure about the situation in Mojin Town.
I have already learned a little bit about it. These are all the feedback materials. According to the feedback on these materials, if you want to open a gap in Mojin Town as soon as possible to learn more about the real situation, we can go to this
A person named Zhu Yuepo. This Zhu Yuepo is a well-known petitioner in Mojin Town. He comes to Baoyi County to petition almost every year, hoping that Baoyi County will pay attention to his situation. But it is a pity that as long as Zhu Yuepo
As soon as we arrive in Baoyi County, Mojin Town will soon get the news and find a way to bring Zhu Yuepo back."
After Li Tianyi read the information carefully, he thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Mojin Town overnight tonight, stay there, and go directly to Zhu Yuepo's home tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation."
That night, Li Tianyi and Liu Zhuang drove directly to Mojin Town in Liu Zhuang's "private" car. However, they did not know that shortly after they set off, Mojin Town received news.
