Chapter 1,800 begins to investigate
Judging from the news received by Xiaochun Shanbei, China's rare earth companies have begun to increase the market price of rare earths, and it is easy to have a situation where there is a price but no market.
Although the negotiators of some large foreign companies who were discussing the 1995 contract have suspended negotiations with Chinese mining companies at this time, those Chinese mining companies have no worries at all. On the contrary, they are full of confidence and show off.
If you don’t want it, many people will want it, and the price will be higher.
In the past, as soon as a large foreign company refused to sign a contract, countless rare earth mining plants would immediately rush in and compete with each other by lowering prices. They were not worried about not having rare earths to buy. On the contrary, the more they stopped buying, the more Chinese mining companies gave them.
The lower their prices are, the current situation is no longer visible.
As long as a company refuses to sign a contract, the mining industry will immediately stop and continue production normally, without any panic at all because a large company does not sign a contract.
Xiaochun Shanbei knows better than anyone else that compared to American companies, their company and Korean companies are the most miserable.
The rapid rise in rare earth prices is nothing but a pain for Americans who have considerable rare earth reserves.
After all, if the market price of rare earths is too high, at worst they can reopen the mines and mine them themselves. For them, the impact will not be too great.
The United States is completely self-sufficient in the production of rare earths, and can even export them. However, Americans do not want to mine and want to preserve resources. China has cheap rare earth mines, so they naturally choose Chinese ones.
Japan and South Korea are different. Due to their small land area and limited mineral resources, these two countries are completely dependent on imports of rare earths. As long as the rare earth mines are gone, then they will have no raw materials for production. It is based on this
One reason is that they are more sensitive to fluctuations in rare earth market prices.
High-tech companies in Japan and South Korea use a large amount of rare earths. When they had a tacit understanding with the United States, they all made purchases according to the default method.
The quantity purchased by everyone is not very large, and has generally been lower than China's mining volume. It is for this reason that the price of rare earths in China has not increased.
However, once the price of rare earths skyrockets, they will have no choice but to hold their noses and accept such a price.
It is impossible to say that they have no inventory of rare earths, but the inventory in their hands will definitely not last half a year. If it is more than half a year, they will have no raw materials available.
Xiaochun Shanbei knows Pu Shunxing quite well, and they have had dinner together several times. He is a very shrewd person, not to mention how shrewd he is, and he can force him into such a situation.
, one can imagine what will happen if he encounters such a situation in the future.
Although in recent years, Japan and South Korea have imported excessive amounts of rare earths from China for storage, but for materials with strategic significance like rare earths, no amount of storage is too much. However, once this happens
The situation arises, and within a few months, they will be in a situation where they have no rare earths available. This is the biggest reason why Samsung Group has to purchase the rare earths of Xinze Mining Company at a high price.
At this time, Xiaochun Shanbei did not add insult to injury like the American and European companies, but began to contact Park Shunxing, hoping that they could cooperate together, create some public opinion in the two countries, and let the country come forward to deal with such a matter for them.
.
Because Xiaochun Jinbei and Park Soon-sung took this situation very seriously, the media in Japan and South Korea began to erupt with public opinion against China's arbitrary price increase of rare earths.
With the rapid economic development of Japan and South Korea, the use of rare earths is increasing. Not only a few companies need rare earths from China, but most high-tech companies need such raw materials.
South Korea and Japan also believe at this time that it is best for South Korea and Japan to let China's rare earth industry continue to be in chaos and never be able to form a unified force.
Through the Japanese and Korean media, Japanese rare earth importing companies and Korean rare earth importing companies soon united to collectively put pressure on China, hoping that China would accept their request to lower prices.
They unanimously stated that if the Chinese government cannot increase exports and lower prices, then they will unite with other countries not to import China's rare earths and turn their attention to other regions.
Companies from South Korea and Japan began to unite and began to put pressure on the United States, hoping that the United States would come forward to suppress or block the joint company. They said that they must not let a high-tech company appear out of nowhere to disrupt
Prices in the international rare earth market, otherwise everyone should stop playing together.
After experiencing the quarrel with Samsung, American companies suddenly discovered that the joint company seemed to have nothing to do with the U.S. government. It was such a simple company, and the U.S. intelligence agencies did not know.
Where did this joint company come from?
The news that John Wilson and the bosses of American high-tech companies found out through their respective channels was that even this company was not regulated by the US government.
After John Wilson heard such a thing, his first impression was that it was impossible. However, more and more evidence emerged that the joint company had no US government supervision at all.
However, the matter has come out, and they can only face reality and start working with the US intelligence agency to track down this joint company.
All the materials from the birth of Jones, the founder of the joint company, to the time Jones registered the company in the United States were placed on their desks, but it was of no use. Jones was an offshore company set up in the Bahamas, and they didn't care about it at all.
No, and Jones has never been seen again since he went abroad. They couldn't find him even if they tried to find him.
John Wilson, Park Shunxing and Xiaochun Shanbei also spoke on the phone and told them about their investigation.
Dozens of large multinational companies discovered a surprising thing at this time. This joint company seemed to have suddenly appeared to disrupt the market. They were planning to wait for the news from the intelligence department to carry out comprehensive operations on this company.
