Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Due to matters such as purchasing land to build a factory, the four Xiangjiang tycoons stayed in the deep sea for another day, after signing the contract with the Shekou Management Committee. Bao Zixuan called Huo Jianning in Xiangjiang through the car phone and asked him to take someone to deal with the matter in the deep sea overnight.

It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Huo Jianning brought people over. This was because Shenhai City had opened a green channel. After everyone introduced each other, they started to work.

In the future, Huo Jianning will be responsible for the infrastructure here. This was also Bao Zixuan's test for him, and he wanted to give him some exercise. After leaving Huo Jianning to deal with everything in the deep sea, Bao Zixuan drove the three tycoons towards Xiangjiang.

On the way, Huo Yingdong said to Bao Zixuan: "Sheng Bao, do you want to use an offshore company to invest here?"

In fact, he is also worried that Bao Zixuan's business in Xiangjiang will be affected, but he understands this very well. The Hong Kong government has never stopped suppressing and fearing him. After all, he brought Bao Zixuan here. It would be really embarrassing if he was implicated in this.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Mr. Huo for your kindness! But it's nothing. Heiyun's money was not stolen or robbed. It is all earned by our own hard work. If the Hong Kong government really has any ideas, it belongs to them. As long as I do my best, there should be no problem. On the contrary, I feel that the more I am afraid of them, the more they will intensify their efforts. Mr. Huo has been working hard for the motherland and the return of Hong Kong all his life. He has withstood a lot of firepower from the British Hong Kong government, and now let me help You share some of the burden. We are all Chinese. Look at what is written on the ID card in Xiangjiang now. Only after the return can we truly make our own decisions."

Huo Yingdong did not expect Bao Zixuan to be so aware again, and said: "You are right, Mr. Bao. If you have any difficulties or need help in the future, just tell me."

This statement is very important, proving that Huo Ying has recognized Bao Zixuan. At the same time, he has another ally in Hong Kong's top circles.

Bao Yugang: "Yes! The younger Mr. Bao sees things more clearly than the old Mr. Bao. Let’s communicate more in the future. I have reserved the spot in the Xiangjiang Jockey Club for you!"

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, Mr. Bao. When I return to Hong Kong completely next year, I will definitely go to the Jockey Club to complete the formalities. There are still too many things going on right now, and there are still some unresolved issues in the United States."

Bao Zixuan continued: "Mr. Huo, I really want you to help me with something, it's about the mainland. I just don't know if it's inconvenient. If it can be solved, I guarantee that the mainland can add at least 1 billion a year. dollars in foreign exchange earnings, and even more.”

"And Mr. Dong and Mr. Bao can participate together if they are interested. I guarantee that the investment can be doubled every year. And this can last for more than 5 consecutive years."

He didn't dare to say too much, for fear that everyone wouldn't believe him. The three of them were shocked when they heard this. Dong Haoyun said: "Xiao Bao, don't make my old man happy."

Bao Zixuan: "I'm just saying more. If we don't do this, it will probably be cheaper for Americans, Japanese and Koreans. Although China has a vast land and abundant resources, the distribution and reserves of truly outstanding minerals are really Not much, but there is one mineral that is definitely the best in the world.”

"I wonder if you have heard of rare earth minerals or understand the role of rare earths."

After seeing the three people shaking their heads, Bao Zixuan continued: "As everyone knows, I study engineering. And I major in mechanical manufacturing and aerospace power."

"Rare earths are the general name for seventeen metal elements including lanthanides, scandium and yttrium in the chemical periodic table. There are 250 kinds of rare earth minerals in nature. The first person to discover rare earths was the Finnish chemist Gadolin. In 1794, he made a The first rare earth "element" (yttrium earth, or Y2O3) was isolated from the heavy ore of bitumen."

"Because there were few rare earth minerals discovered in the 18th century, only a small amount of water-insoluble oxides could be produced by chemical methods. Historically, this oxide was customarily called "earth", hence the name rare earths."

"Rare earths are known as the "gold" of industry. Due to their excellent optical, electromagnetic and other physical properties, they can be combined with other materials to form a wide variety of new materials with different properties. Its most significant function is to greatly improve the quality and quality of other products. Performance. For example, greatly improving the tactical performance of steel, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and titanium alloys used to manufacture tanks, aircraft, and missiles. Moreover, rare earths are also lubricants for many high-tech industries such as electronics, lasers, nuclear industries, and superconductors. . Once rare earth technology is used in the military, it will inevitably lead to a leap in military technology."

"The addition of rare earth metals or fluorides and silicides to steel can play the role of refining, desulfurizing, neutralizing harmful impurities with low melting points, and improving the processing properties of steel; rare earth ferrosilicon alloys and rare earth silicon magnesium alloys are produced as spheroidizing agents Rare earth ductile iron, because this kind of ductile iron is particularly suitable for the production of complex ductile iron parts with special requirements, is widely used in machinery manufacturing industries such as automobiles, tractors, and diesel engines; rare earth metals are added to magnesium, aluminum, copper, zinc, nickel, etc. In non-ferrous alloys, it can improve the physical and chemical properties of the alloy and improve the room temperature and high temperature mechanical properties of the alloy."

"Molecular sieve catalysts made of rare earths have the advantages of high activity, good selectivity, and strong resistance to heavy metal poisoning, so they have replaced aluminum silicate catalysts in the petroleum catalytic cracking process; in the production process of ammonia synthesis, a small amount of rare earth nitrate is used As a cocatalyst, its processing gas volume is 1.5 times larger than that of nickel-aluminum catalyst; in the process of synthesizing butadiene rubber and isoprene rubber, rare earth naphthenate-triisobutyl aluminum type catalyst is used, and the obtained product has excellent performance and equipment It has the advantages of less glue, stable operation, and short post-processing steps; the composite rare earth oxide can also be used as an exhaust gas purification catalyst for internal combustion engines, and cerium naphthenate can also be used as a paint drier, etc."

"In glass ceramic technology, rare earths can be used to make superconducting ceramics, piezoelectric ceramics, conductive ceramics, dielectric ceramics and sensitive ceramics, etc."

"In short, rare earths play a very important role in the military, metallurgy, petrochemical, glass and ceramic industries. China has the largest rare earth mineral deposits in the world, but it is just one that is not taken seriously."

Although the three of them were listening to the book from heaven, they understood the general meaning. That is, rare earth resources are very good and useful, and China has a lot of them.

Huo Yingdong: "Where are these things mainly located? If China has them, it won't be a big problem for us to invest in mining them."

Bao Zixuan also thought about monopolizing these rare earth resources, but he couldn't spend much money now, but he thought that it would be difficult to end up being alone, so now that he has these three people, he should have no worries. It seems that I can only continue to make up stories, otherwise how would you know!

Bao Zixuan said: "I found from the Japanese military map that there are a large number of rare earth resources distributed in Mongolia, southern Guangdong and other places. Combining the historical process characteristics of Jingdezhen ceramics, Heiyun engineers decomposed a large amount of rare earth metals from the ceramics. So Jiangnan The province must have a large amount of rare earth resources, and another place may be Bashu Province. From the grain we purchased, we found that there are trace amounts of rare earth metal elements in the crops in Bashu Province, which is of course beneficial to the human body."

The three of them didn't expect Bao Zixuan's analysis to be so detailed. No wonder he could make the company so big.

Bao Yugang: "If there is such a good thing from Mr. Bao, I will vote for one share."

Huo Yingdong thought for a while and said, "It's such a good opportunity, why did Mr. Baosheng tell us?"

Bao Zixuan: "I alone have limited power. It is better for everyone to contribute money and efforts together to make the mining enterprise bigger."

Although it is not stated explicitly, these three are all smart people. There are many things that don’t need to be explained, as long as everyone understands them.

Huo Yingdong: "Sheng Xiaobao, what do you want us to do?"

Bao Zixuan: "We have funded the establishment of a rare earth mining company, which is responsible for rare earth mining and smelting. I will handle the industrial equipment, and organize an on-site inspection by the prospecting team. This requires Mr. Huo to open up the joints."

"After the rare earth metals are produced, a large part of them will be consumed internally, and the rest can be sold on the market. The price will be determined by us at that time. It will also bring a lot of tax revenue to the country. We don't have to sell it cheaply. The products are absolutely Supply exceeds demand, and at the same time, there is no need to take advantage of the country.”
