industrial maniac

Rare earth is a general term for lanthanide elements, scandium and yttrium metal elements.

It exists in the mineral lattice in the form of ionic compounds, thus forming the 'rare earth mineral'.

About 250 kinds of rare earth ores have been discovered so far, of which only more than 50 kinds have industrial value, and only 10 kinds have mining value.

Mining rare earth ores, refining rare earths, different types of rare earths, combined with different types of materials, produce different properties, and are applied in different fields.

For example, lanthanum can be used in piezoelectric materials, pyroelectric materials, magnetoresistance materials, luminescent materials (blue powder), hydrogen storage materials, laser materials, special optical glass, and various alloys.

For example, cerium can be used as a catalyst for reducing emissions in the automotive industry, polishing materials for the glass industry, and optical coating materials.

For example, neodymium, the strongest known permanent magnet, can be used in electronics, electromechanical, machinery, lasers and other fields.

Sange has proven rare earths, about 460 million tons, but the annual output is only three digits.

And it is mainly zirconium, niobium, silver, thorium and uranium, which are suitable for the research of peaceful armaments and have no commercial value.

Although the rare earths on the ink pad are super rare and can be used in batteries, electronics and other fields, the proven rare earth mines are about 300 million tons. If they are refined into rare earths, it is estimated that they will be less than 3000 tons, and there is no refining technology in the ink pad. Mining rare earth mines is also very difficult.

As for Yidali and Nanbangzi...

Not at all.

Ironhide had announced as early as last month that it would exchange two Kirov airships from United Defense Corporation, a subsidiary of TEP, for the FMC war robot project.

War robots belong to the military industry. In the fields of metallurgy, chemical industry, electrical and electronics, rare earths are definitely needed.

Sange, Yinni, Nanbangzi, Yidali, etc., are dissatisfied with Director Xu's decision, but without rare earths, there is no right to bid, and now they can only sigh.

In the end, the large Hazara coalfield, which attracted global attention, was taken over by Washima Inagawa Trading.

After the bidding ended, major media rushed to report.

Some popular science rare earth value.

Some popular science use of anthracite.

Some discuss war robot forms.

During the period, the Wajima media praised Inagawa Junzo for his adequate homework and strategic vision.

Inagawa Junzo touched his pocket, which lacked another magnetic card, and remained silent.

The 290 billion agreed three days ago, he will definitely give it in place.

200 billion + 50 billion + rare earth worth 30 billion US dollars, and another 10 billion US dollars.

And pay an additional 2000 million U.S. dollars in operating fees, 2000 million U.S. dollars in handling fees...

However, as long as you get the coal mine, you can earn back all your efforts.

the other side.

Inside the hotel arranged by Takeuchi Rano.

Xu Fei was on the phone with Lei Meng while watching TV.

"Old Lei, you don't know. At that time, the third brother quoted 300 billion U.S. dollars, and I panicked. Fortunately, in order to sell the Hazara coal field to Inagawa Trading, I met Takeuchi Rano and Inagawa Junzo in advance, and both parties It is agreed to use rare earths to deduct part of the payment, otherwise I may not be able to get down from this bidding."

"Xu, don't worry, I will definitely make up for the money you deserve over there. Wadao quoted 200 billion + 50 billion + rare earths worth 30 billion, totaling 280 billion U.S. dollars. When I sell the coal mine, I will make up for you." 20."

"Actually, the price of ink pad is 301 billion."

"Then I'll give you 21 billion."

"Old Lei, it's not that I'm taking advantage of you, but that Foreman will know sooner or later that the public bidding is so much less. I'm just a part-time worker, and it's hard to explain it at that time."

"I understand that if you plan to cheat me, you will not refuse the proceeds from the second sale of the coal field."

"It's good that you understand, then I won't bother you, I wish you success."

Xu Fei hung up the phone, picked up a pen and paper to settle accounts.

200亿+50亿+价值30亿的稀土+稻川淳三补10亿+雷蒙补21亿。

Total: $311 billion.

higher than the international assessment.

And these are all picked up for nothing.

"It seems that when we are free, we will wander around the world, maybe we can pick up another rare earth mine."

Xu Fei put away the pen and paper, and looked at the TV.

Huaxia International Channel made an important report on what happened today.

'Anthracite has a wide range of uses. In addition to power generation, coking, as thermal coal, and firing cement, it can also be used as a raw material for synthetic ammonia, which can then be used to produce fertilizers. '

'And the manufacture of nitric acid, sulfa drugs, activated carbon, silicon carbide, artificial corundum, artificial graphite, calcium carbide, carbon materials and so on. '

'It can even be processed into 'anthracite filter material', which is used to treat and filter steel rolling circulating water, petrochemical sewage, advanced water for precision manufacturing, and so on. '

'The large Hazara coalfield is a high-quality anthracite coal with an overall value of 690 billion U.S. dollars. Due to various factors, it is now transferred for 300 billion U.S. dollars. This is very important for some regions that rely heavily on coal imports. '

"Even if there are ink pads from coal mines everywhere, I still want to buy them as the bottom of the box to improve the bidding ability of peers..."

"Secret, has the price of Wajima anthracite been reduced?"

"The fluctuation is not large. It is estimated that Inagawa Trading will take over the Hazara coal field and complete the first round of mining before it will significantly reduce the price."

"That would be a pity."

Affected by crude oil prices, most North American energy companies are heavily indebted.

Raymond was eager to grab the big coal field, which had a lot to do with it. The second sale, nine out of ten, would be sold to North American companies to alleviate the debt crisis.

In this way, my family can't wait for the big price cut of Wajima anthracite, and take the opportunity to purchase a batch, and then wait for Inagawa Trading to lose the Hazara coal field and sell it at a high price.

However, all the money that should be earned has been earned, so there is nothing to regret.

……

The next day, August 11th.

After the Iron Sheet Company signed a transfer agreement with Inagawa Trading, they jointly formed an exploration team and office staff, and went to Hazara for handover.

The Iron Sheet Company's southern camp in Hazara was attacked by the Hazara. Not only did it not evacuate completely, but it increased the number of security personnel to 2000 and mobilized a large number of supplies.

A legion of this size is enough to guarantee the safety of personnel on both sides.

But such a bad environment also caused Junji Inagawa a particularly headache.

It is said that it distributed more than half of the income from the coal mines, and finally exchanged for Wajima's new decision to transfer 500 self-defense force personnel from Cambodia to reside in Hazara.

On the airship returning to Daze, Xu Fei received a communication from the Hadza Mullah-Old Kai.

"Commander, in the last two days, we have set up outside the valley for eye-catching camp and met several North American businessmen."

"How to say?"

"They told me that as long as they seize the Hazara coalfield and hand it over to them, not only can they get winter supplies, but they can also get a batch of excellent furry bear weapons."

It is not so uncommon to produce bear arms in North America.

Even North American arms manufacturers have AK series production lines.

Xu Fei replied without hesitation: "Promise them, but you have to get more benefits. The opposite side is a little devil with better equipment."

"What about after we grab it?"

"Why grab it? Isn't it good to grind foreign workers? Wait for the opponent's Marine Corps to be in place and let them act as the vanguard."

"Ok."

"Try not to cause casualties, or continue to arrest the ruthless Tully and pretend to be our casualties."

"know."

"Wait for the Hadza people disguised as North American soldiers to snatch the big coal field... Forget it, let's talk about it at that time. If the little devil goes crazy and plays pigs for the North American soldiers, then we will have fun watching it."

Xu Fei is a little skeptical now. Lei Meng has neglected that the Inagawa Chamber of Commerce can lobby the Wajima officials to mobilize the Ground Self-Defense Force.

However, it is also possible that Raymond and the competitors of the Inagawa Group reached a consensus that the Self-Defense Forces would not work hard, and everyone would cheat Inagawa's business together.

These operations, including GIs masquerading as Hadza, are not uncommon.

During the Afghan campaign ten years ago, there were 'pretenders' everywhere.

The Pakistani Special Warfare disguised itself as a native of Afghanistan, the North American soldier disguised as a bear soldier, and the bear soldier disguised as a Tajik soldier...

It is even more uncommon for North America to snatch the Hazara coalfield from the Inagawa Chamber of Commerce.

In the Asia-Pacific economic crisis, the largest bank in Nanbangzi was blatantly robbed by Lao Bu.

Perhaps, this is the so-called robber logic.

5 pm.

The airship arrived over Daze.

Xu Fei sat in the panoramic cabin, overlooking the buildings below.

Although there are no tall buildings, no viaducts, and no so-called landmarks, for some reason, it always feels that this industrial area made of steel is far more magnificent than Tokyo.

Huge factory buildings, huge mechanical arms, huge gantry cranes, huge conveyor belts...

Especially in front of the No. 1 office building, the mechanical square composed of metal gears is running slowly, and the industrial attributes are directly full.

"Perhaps, this is the charm of machinery."

Xu Fei got off the airship and came to the workshop office. He saw the framed "Learning skills from barbarians to learn from barbarians".

"Sent it here so soon?"

The second sister lay listlessly on the table, "I arrived in the morning."

"What's wrong? It's like an eggplant beaten by Shuang."

"What do you say?"

"The Massachusetts Institute of Technology informed me that I don't need to go there in person for the postgraduate report, or can you help me make a trip and go through all the procedures?"

"Myself?"

"Take two clerks and a translator."

The second sister immediately stood up, "Obey, my boss!"

After finishing speaking, he picked three little girls and rushed to the airport excitedly.

'Still a child. '

Xu Fei shook his head and sighed, and looked again at "teaching the barbarian's skills to control the barbarian".

After a long time, I turned around and looked at the secretary group and clerks who were packing up office supplies, "If Foreman comes over, you will say these words are 'inclusive of all rivers'."

The big secretary reminded: "Director, these are seven words."

"Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue!"

"one extra."

"It's not that particular."

Xu Fei wrote down the signature of the calligraphy, inquired about the contact information of the teacher in Qufu, found the old man he had met in Tokyo Tower, and ordered another 2000 calligraphy and paintings to be used to decorate the Chinese restaurant on Wajima.

If there is no teaching building donated by Daze Group, the other party will definitely not agree.

but now……

I heard that the building materials have already been transported, and the old buildings are being demolished. You can't just start and finish, right?
Besides, this is cultural transmission, not a profit-making project.

The old man was finally moved by Director Xu's righteousness and promised to get it done years ago.

Xu Fei hung up the phone and announced that he would move to the office again.

The business of Hongqi Automobile is now only big and small Hongqi, plus auto parts and maintenance, and it is very idle every day.

The Ironhide Company is in a period of development and must be taken care of.

The new office is not far from the Hongqi workshop, just next door.

If you look around.

On the far left is the TEP workshop office. The door is made of black and gray metal. Three bright silver letters 'TEP' are written on the lower right corner, and LED lamp beads are set behind the letters.

In the middle is the office of Hongqi Workshop. The door style is more official, and the whole is red. There is a red flag waving in the wind in the lower right corner, and LED lamp beads are set behind the flag.

On the far right is the office of Iron Sheet Company, the door is biased towards anime colors, on the left is the mechanical Lu Bu, on the right is Kirov with a bomb hanging into the air, in the middle is the battlefield and gunpowder smoke, and the top is spliced ​​with four LED lamp beads of "Iron Sheet Company" Character.

Of course, this is a transliteration. In fact, what Ironhide means is: The earth is in danger.

The interior decoration of the new office is back to the period of the tin toy factory.

There are metal cabinets on both sides, with various mechanical toys built in.

The ceiling is an exaggerated Kirov airship model, and all the personnel sit under it.

The hanging fraud bombs are disguised as LCD TVs.

The overall exaggeration reflects the main business of the Iron Sheet Company.

Xu Fei often changes offices and is not idle.

But to exercise their own 'professional manager group'.

Secretary group → military division → operation center → docking enterprise.

↓

Copywriting team→accounting firm→inspection→supervising the enterprise.

Plant manager→administrator→supervise and maintain employees.

Factory director → law firm → maintenance enterprise.

If this team is mature, we can also form a personal studio.

In the future, whichever enterprise needs it, it can start work by pulling it over.

If the relevant trainees are separated, it is tantamount to duplicating a set of teams, and through experience, they can help others manage the company.

This model is Xu Fei's "Xu's business management experience" based on the management experience of Bain Capital and Carlyle Capital.

Well, Pupu has a book, Romney has a book, Raymond has a memoir, and Kling, who has just retired, has written the beginning.

We must also publish a copy.

It's a pity that Xu Fei has no experience in writing books, so he can only see how others write.

……

three days later.

Office relocation completed.

The Hazara Coalfield has also completed preliminary handover, verifying the coal quality and storage capacity.

Then the two sides discuss the transfer tax.

Logically speaking, the bidding activity is completed in Tokyo, and taxes need to be paid to Wajima.

But the transaction is real estate, which belongs to the city of Hazara, and actually has to pay taxes to the Hazara.

When TEP bought the oil field, it was the collective signature of the Hadza people, and the 'oil field project' was born.

The question is, the Hadzas have turned against the Iron Sheet Company and are planning to rob the coal mines. Do they want to pay their opponents a huge sum of money?
In the end, the two sides unanimously decided to send a batch of winter supplies to the Hadza people, and the matter passed.

After completing the transfer procedures, the guaranty bank received the 200 billion U.S. dollars remitted by Inagawa Trading in batches, the guaranty bank withheld it for three months, and then transferred it to the Iron Sheet Company with the principal and interest.

Another US$50 billion was remitted to the offshore account of the Iron Sheet Company, and US$10.4 billion from Director Xu was remitted to the Daze Group.

The rare earth worth 30 billion began to be shipped.

In general, both parties are satisfied with this transaction.

At the same time, after the initial handover was completed, the Iron Cross Guards of the Ironhide Company gradually withdrew from the southern camp.

The Hadza tribe who noticed the movement ran out to loot before the winter supplies were warmed up.

At the beginning, Inagawa Trading was not timid, relying on [-] members of the Self-Defense Forces to show off its might.

But it soon gave up.

Because the Hadza tribe showed twenty special 80 chariots.
