The Middle East has oil, and China has rare earths!
In later generations, many people regard rare earths as an important weapon for domestic foreign affairs, and the reason for all this is naturally because of the value of rare earths!
And this is actually what Chu Huan is interested in.
At this time, rare earths were not taken as seriously as later generations. The largest Bayan Obo mine had already begun exploration in 1949. However, in the early days, domestic rare earth separation technology was not advanced. If you want to obtain rare earths, you still need to
Sell the rare earth ores to foreign countries and then buy them back at a high price after foreign countries complete the separation technology!
This situation has changed with the rare earth cascade extraction technology developed by Academician Xu last year. Domestic rare earth separation technology has instantly become the world's best.
But again, the importance of my hometown to rare earths at this time is that I knew this thing was somewhat important, but I never thought how important it was.
After Academician Xu completed the successful research and development of rare earth cascade extraction technology, he did not apply for a patent, but started giving lectures across the country. He wanted to popularize this technology. The idea was good, but the result was
Not that good.
After domestic factories learned this technology, they flocked to the Bayan Obo mine almost like a wind, where countless mining companies of various sizes were formed.
The mining of rare earths during that period was disorderly and chaotic.
In the next nearly two decades, these people will mine almost half of the rare earths. Not only that, because there is no orderly environment, it will lead to various price involutions for these domestic miners, and
Overseas purchasers even formed alliances. When domestic rare earth prices dropped, they stocked up in large quantities. When domestic prices wanted to be raised, they released their inventories to drive down rare earth prices.
It can be said that my hometown holds the largest rare earth space in the world, but sells it for the price of cabbage. Of course, I must have gained a lot.
Since his hometown in another time and space will open mining rights to private companies in the next few years, Chu Huan is confident that he can obtain the mining rights for rare earths in his hometown at this time.
And this is the second of the two super projects that Chu Huanlai invested in his hometown!
Of course, although my hometown did not pay too much attention to this rare earth in this period, it is not an easy task to win it. This is a national strategic reserve material. Those private owners can obtain the mining rights mainly because
They have little power, and the country also needs to use them to earn foreign exchange.
If Chu Huan wants to do it, he will definitely unite the country to do this development, which is close to a monopoly position. On this point, the country will definitely attach great importance to it.
Sure enough, after Chu Huan finished speaking, both Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao showed complicated expressions. To be honest, the two plans proposed by Chu Huan were different from what they thought.
The two of them have also done research on Xiangjiang's business. Especially in recent times, Xiangjiang is most famous for its real estate business, or its manufacturing and other businesses in previous years.
So both of them basically thought that Chu Huan's plan was to develop land or to enclose land in some places. However, they did not expect that the two plans proposed by Chu Huan, one was a petrochemical project and the other was a mining project, were different from each other.
The routines of their Xiangjiang merchants are different!
To say that this is a commercial investment proposed by the Japanese, they think it is appropriate.
"Director Chu, whether it is the petrochemical project you talked about before or the current rare earth project, Director Chu, you have proven your strength in terms of funds, but both of these involve technical and equipment issues. In this case,
Regarding these two things, Director Chu, are you prepared?"
Mr. Yu couldn't help but asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "You two can rest assured about this. In terms of petrochemical engineering, my people have already started studying at Mitsui Chemicals. As for rare earths, Academician Xu's research is already at the leading international level. As for equipment,
I have also contacted the best equipment in the world. As long as the domestic side agrees, funds and personnel will enter the domestic market as soon as possible!"
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao were both stunned. They didn't expect Chu Huan to be so well prepared.
Chen Siyao asked
"Director Chu, I also went to Japan for inspection last year. I know that Japanese companies attach great importance to technology and equipment. How could they agree to your request, Director Chu?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "This is actually very simple, because my business in Japan has invested in Mitsui Chemicals, and Jiaku is also one of the shareholders of Mitsui Chemicals. In addition, my relationship with the Mitsui family, and our relationship with Australia
Brazil’s cooperation, in this regard, they are still very willing to help!”
Today is destined to be the day when Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao’s understanding of the world business world collapses.
Although both of them understood that Chu Huan had a profound influence in the global business community, they still did not expect that the scale of Chu Huan's business would be so large?
We have cooperation with super conglomerates like Mitsui & Co., and they are also in Australia and Brazil.
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao can be said to be the two people who know the most about the world business community in China today. They naturally know what projects Japan is investing in Australia and Brazil.
When they introduced Japanese funds to participate in the bg plan, firstly, they took a fancy to their technology and capital, and secondly, they took a fancy to their voice in the global iron mining industry.
Now Chu Huan actually said that he has cooperation with Japan's Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in these two places?
But then the two of them thought of a possibility, that is, if the cooperation between Chu Huan and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is so deep, then what about Chu Huan's two investments in his hometown?
Although Chu Huan had just guaranteed his own source of funds, they really didn't dare to gamble on this kind of thing. In case, even if it was just an accident, they needed to figure this out.
"Director Chu, will your cooperation with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. affect the cooperation you may reach with our country this time?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he knew that asking like this again would make Chu Huan feel a little unhappy, Mr. Yu couldn't help but ask Chu Huan.
In response to Mr. Yu's inquiry, Chu Huan said with a smile, "You two don't have to worry too much about this. Our company takes the initiative in cooperating with Australia and Brazil, and Mitsui & Co. is only a shareholder. Last year in Australia
You two should know about the mine that was discovered containing huge iron ore. It was discovered by our company through exploration.
As for cooperation in Brazil, we are not developing iron ore, but preparing to enter Brazil’s agriculture.”
There are some things that Chu Huan doesn't mind being known by his hometown, because the higher his strength is, the more his hometown will value his talents and cannot live without them!
This is just like when potential companies raise funds, they do not need to actively seek investors. Investors will actively seek them out. What these companies have to do is to find investors who are confident about their own business.
The most favorable investor for development.
This is not just about having money.
Having money also requires connections!
"Dr. Chu, you really don't look like a Xiangjiang businessman now!"
After listening to Chu Huan's speech, Mr. Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Businessmen in Xiangjiang are more concentrated in real estate, finance, manufacturing, shipping and other industries. As for Chu Huan, it is obvious that he is developing in a diversified direction. As Chu Huan is now planning to invest in his hometown
Regarding these two industries.
These are all projects with huge initial investment and slow returns, which is not in line with the usual investment style of Xiangjiang businessmen.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "There are no Xiangjiang businessmen or foreign businessmen. We are just looking for a better development direction for our group."
Mr. Yu said, "But Mr. Chu, the investment in the Bayan Obo mine you talked about is, to be honest, no easier than your first plan. The Bayan Obo mine is actually a strategic reserve mine in my hometown. I want to invest it."
Contracting it to an individual is definitely not that simple!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I understand, but there is something I think you may not have thought of, sir!"
Mr. Yu asked Chu Huan, "Dr. Chu, please speak!"
Chu Huandao said, “As Academician Xu now begins to make public the rare earth cascade extraction technology he developed, I believe there will soon be countless
People are pouring into the Bayan Obo Mine, money and silk are moving people's hearts. Under the huge profit trend, the Bayan Obo Mine will definitely enter a disorderly and chaotic development. By then, these people will not have enough technology, nor enough funds.
, then the accidents and various environmental pollution caused by that time will cause complete damage to the ecological environment.
Of course, I can’t see this yet, but there’s one thing I hope you two can understand!”
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao couldn't help but become nervous when they saw Chu Huan speaking so seriously. When it comes to issues like the overall situation, Mr. Yu usually asks Chu Huan questions.
"Could you please, Mr. Chu, tell me in detail."
Chu Huan explained, “When countless people flood into this market, there will be a fierce scene of internal fighting. In order to better sell the rare earth elements they produce, they will fight against each other.
Lowering prices and competing with each other. If such a situation occurs, our country will always suffer, and the profits will naturally be those foreign capitals.
When the time comes, they will definitely use capital to buy the rare earth elements we produce at low prices and control the market price. If that is the case, although we own the largest rare earth mine in the world, we will only be workers."
Neither Mr. Yu nor Chen Siyao dared to despise what Chu Huan said. Although such a thing has not happened yet, it does not mean that such a thing cannot happen.
Mr. Yu couldn't help but asked, "What if we introduce your investment, Director Chu?"
Chu Huan said, "If my hometown agrees to introduce my funds, then our Jiaku can cooperate with the relevant departments in our hometown to jointly develop the rare earth elements of the Bayan Obo mine. In this case, we can break the pieces into a whole and jointly formulate a
Under the international market rules for rare earth elements, I believe the foreign exchange introduced by then will be an astronomical figure!"
At this time, Chen Siyao finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Director Chu, although rare earth elements are very important, leaving aside the current technology, the market demand alone is not as big as you said, right?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "The current market demand is naturally not that big, but in the future, as science and technology develop faster and faster, I believe that rare earth elements will become one of the most important minerals in the global market in the future."
It was originally a gamble, but now we at Jiaku are willing to invest tens of billions of dollars to do this. Don’t you have the guts to join us?
To put it bluntly, even if we make a wrong bet this time, the greater loss will be caused by our Jiaku, not my hometown, right?"
Chu Huan's words made Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao laugh awkwardly again.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Yu said, "Director Chu, we will report this matter. As for how the upper management decides, it is not up to us, but I think Director Chu should do his best to speak out about these two things."
After all, with such a large investment, the superiors will definitely meet with Director Chu in person!"
Chu Huan also knew that this was a certainty, and smiled and said, "Okay!"
Wu Shuhan then handed two documents to Chu Huan. Chu Huan took them and handed them to Mr. Yu, saying, "This is the plan for these two projects. Please help me hand it over to the boss!"
Mr. Yu took it carefully and said with a smile, "If these two plans succeed, it will be the largest investment since the founding of our country!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I also hope to complete these two investment plans in my hometown!"
The two stood up and Mr. Yu said, "Director Chu, originally we should treat you to dinner, but your two plans are really too big. We must submit these two projects to the superiors as soon as possible.
So our meal can only be postponed!"
Chu Huan smiled and nodded, "This is what it should be!"
But when Mr. Yu was about to leave, Chu Huan suddenly asked Mr. Yu, "By the way, how are the preparations for the wedding of Hailiang and Wei Hong?"
Shu Han told me before that I just thought that if the two of us need help, we are all friends and can help each other!"
Mr. Yu humbly preached, "These two children changed their marriages before.
When it was time for the ceremony, I told them, Mr. Chu, you are so busy right now and you don’t want them to bother you, but I didn’t expect them to tell you, Mr. Chu!”
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Hai Liang and Wei Hong are my few friends in the capital. I am very happy to be able to attend their wedding!"
Mr. Yu smiled and said, "It will be the best blessing to them both, Mr. Chu, that you can attend in person. Besides, we don't have anything to pay attention to here. When the time comes, relatives and friends will gather together to have a meal, which will be the completion of the wedding."
Got it!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Well, we will go there in advance when the time comes!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chu!"
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao left the Capital Hotel and hurriedly went to report on Chu Huan's two projects!
Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan went to eat!
Chu Huan's two investment projects were too big. After Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao reported Chu Huan's plan, Chu Huan received a call from the above that night, inviting Chu Huan to visit her home.
Chu Huan naturally had no objection to this, and immediately arranged a vehicle to go to the old man's home to express his thoughts.
When Chu Huan returned from the old man's home, it was already past ten o'clock in the night.
Wu Shuhan didn't go there, so after Chu Huan came back, he immediately asked Chu Huan.
"What did the old man say? Do you agree?"
Wu Shuhan also understood the importance of these two plans to Chu Huan, so he was very concerned about them.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "How could you agree so quickly? The old man just raised his own questions about some situations in the plan. As for the specifics, a meeting will definitely be held to study it!"
Chu Huan never thought that his two plans would get accurate answers within one or two years. His hometown would definitely do various investigations.
"But the old man can ask the boss some questions about the project. I think the other party is still very interested!"
Wu Shuhan analyzed.
Chu Huan nodded. He must be interested. After all, the investment capital of his two projects is close to 40 billion US dollars.
Let's put it this way, as long as Chu Huan proposes these two plans, he will be treated like a distinguished guest in every country around the world.
But there is no way. Judging from the current situation, these two plans are most likely to be implemented in my hometown, especially the rare earth plan. After all, only my hometown has such a huge source of rare earth minerals!
Wu Shuhan asked curiously, "Boss, why don't you take this opportunity to talk to your hometown about our plans to build a car?"
"The domestic market is not mature yet, so there is no point in bringing it up now. Let's wait a little longer. Our cooperation with Ford and Sumitomo is still successful, so there is no need to worry. Let's take a look at the foreign market first!"
Chu Huan said indifferently. Although the earlier he entered this industry, the better Chu Huan could develop more patents, but now the market did not allow it and Chu Huan had no choice.
If the car-making industry is not backed by a huge market, it will be a castle in the air.
For Chu Huan, her hometown is the best market.
However, according to the current development situation of his hometown, there is still a long way to go before he can satisfy Chu Huan’s desire to get involved in the car manufacturing industry!
Thinking of this, Chu Huan suddenly thought of a person who was not well-known in later generations, but was a legendary figure in the Chinese car manufacturing industry!
When talking about electric cars in later generations, basically everyone thinks of the crazy Elon Musk!
But in fact, in my hometown, in the 1990s, a car-making madman got involved in the field of electric vehicles. In 1993, he developed the first hybrid car prototype. More than 95% of the car's accessories came from
Dongou local.
This electric car named "yf-1100" can not only travel more than 100 kilometers on a single charge, with a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour, but it is also a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle.
At that time, he produced a total of 12 electric vehicles, but due to low social acceptance and lack of technological maturity,
One unit of the "yf-1100" planned to be priced at 50,000 yuan has not been sold.
And this person is Dongou Ye Wengui.
Ye Wengui invested 15 million yuan in building the car, but in the end, the family fortune was exhausted and it still failed.
His advanced thinking collided with an immature market and no policy support. His dream of building a car was destined to be unsuccessful.
Chu Huan once read news about this man and knew that his dream of building a car started in 1988. Now there are still a few years left until 1988.
Originally, Chu Huan wanted Wu Shuhan to pay attention to this person, but then he thought that such unprovoked attention would still attract people's attention.
However, although car-making was immature, Chu Huan believed that he could save the country in a roundabout way. After thinking for a while, he said to Wu Shuhan, "Although we can't get involved in the automotive field now, we can make fuss in other directions. Please inform Xu Yi.
During this period of time, we must seek for the world's top engine, chassis, and gearbox research institutions, acquisitions that can be acquired, and cooperation that can be cooperated. Although we cannot have all the core technologies in our hands, as long as we can master some
, when we enter the field of car manufacturing in the future, there will be no problems!"
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I understand, I will tell Sister Xu about this after I return to Xiangjiang!"
When Chu Huan returns to Xiangjiang, Wu Shuhan will follow Chu Huan back to Xiangjiang and stay for a while.
Chu Huan continued, "Not only the core technology in the automotive field, but also after Chen Haichao came to Tianjin, he told him the same reason. We should establish laboratories around the world to develop core accessories for the home appliance industry, and acquire R&D teams and patents.
, such as compressors for air conditioners and refrigerators, transmissions for washing machines, and LCDs for TVs!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the brands of finished products are shiny to the outside world, such as Gree, Samsung, Changhong, etc., in fact, in Chu Huan’s view, they are at best
It is a top assembly company. As long as Kyushu can master these technologies, Kyushu can dominate the survival of these industries in the future.
To put it bluntly, a marketing-oriented product company is just a beggar wearing fine clothes and kneeling to make money!
Not only the home appliance industry, but also the smartphone industry in the future. As long as Jiuzhou can control mobile phone substrates, sound cards, graphics cards, cameras and other technologies, then those so-called super mobile phone manufacturers will just work for Chu Huan.
And when that time comes, Chu Huan can also support the people around him to enter these industries, so that he doesn't have to worry about the development here getting better and better, and the people around him can't keep up with this speed, and then have some bad ideas.
Although Chu Huan did not say these words to Wu Shuhan, Wu Shuhan already understood what Chu Huan meant and couldn't help but said, "Boss, if this is the case, the home appliance industry may fall under our control in the future!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "The plan is like this, but the process will definitely not be too smooth. Others can think of things we can think of, so these things must be done quickly."
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I understand!"
Chu Huan continued to preach to Wu Shuhan, "In addition, notify John Qiao of Hehe International-Wheelock and ask him to order four large cargo ships from China in the name of Wheelock Shipping."
Wu Shuhan was stunned by this decision. Everyone knew that whether in Xiangjiang or outside Xiangjiang, Chu Huan was not optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry, but now Chu Huan actually wanted to order four domestic ships.
Large freighter.
You must know that the current domestic shipbuilding technology cannot be compared with Japan, and Chu Huan has shares in Laijima Shipyard. Even if Chu Huan really wants to order a large cargo ship, it should be customized at Laijima Shipyard.
Ah, why did you suddenly think of customizing it in your hometown?
Facing Wu Shuhan's confused look, Chu Huan just smiled. He knew Wu Shuhan's doubts, but for this kind of thing, it was not because he was a shareholder of Laidao Shipyard that he had to customize large cargo ships at Laidao Shipyard.
Moreover, Chu Huan is not optimistic about the shipping industry even now.
"There are two reasons for this. First, the shipping industry in my hometown has just started, and we still have to do something.
Of course, this is not the main reason, but an attitude. Since we want to get more investment opportunities in our hometown, we must pay some money first.
As for the second and most important reason, we have told Mr. Yu and others about our discovery of iron ore in Australia and the start of development. They also told the old man about it, and now BG has already
Construction has started, and the demand for iron ore will definitely increase in the future. I have already discussed signing a sales contract with the old man, and the other party is also very interested.
Why didn't I agree to let Qiao John sell all the freighters before, but kept some large-tonnage ones? It was actually for this matter.
Since the iron ore plant in Australia belongs to us, its transportation is naturally ours, so the cold wave in the shipping industry actually has little impact on us."
After listening to Chu Huan's explanation, Wu Shuhan finally understood what Chu Huan meant and sighed, "I didn't expect you, boss, to think so far ahead!"
Chu Huan chuckled. After he met the old man, the first thing the old man told him was not the expanded Cangjiang plan or the rare earth development plan, but Jiaku's development of iron mines in Australia.
Chu Huan naturally has no objection to this, and there is another advantage of ordering large freighters in his hometown, that is, it is cheaper here.
Of course, there are still technical flaws, but it’s enough!
After talking about the business, Wu Shuhan told Chu Huan another thing and asked, "Boss, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Wu Shuhan said, "It's like this. I want you to take a look at some of the courtyard houses we acquired in Beijing. I want to find one of them and revise it carefully. It will be our residence in Beijing in the future. You can't do it every time you come to Beijing.
Are you all staying at the Jingcheng Hotel?"
Chu Huan had no objection to Wu Shuhan's proposal and said with a smile, "Okay!"
Wu Shuhan continued, "After it is confirmed, I am also planning to order a batch of vehicles from overseas. Although we can now use the cars of the Beijing Hotel, we are not as free as our own to drive!"
Chu Huan nodded again, "You can make your own decision on this kind of thing. By the way, prepare a few in other cities, and use those cars that can cope with all road conditions!"
