Rare earths are the lanthanides in the periodic table of chemical elements, lanthanides (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), progesterone (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lete (Lu), and two elements closely related to the 15 elements of the lanthanide, scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y) are 17 elements, called rare earth elements (RareEarth), abbreviated as

Rare earths (RE or R), among these 17 elements, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, progesterone, samarium, europium, is usually called light rare earth or cerium group rare earth; gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, thium, yttrium group is also called heavy rare earth or yttrium group rare earth. Some are also divided into three groups based on the similarity and differences of the physical and chemical properties of rare earth elements (some divide scandium into rare elements), namely, light rare earth groups are lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, progesterone; the medium rare earth groups are samarium, europium, gadolinium, thium, thium, yttrium, and yttrium.

Among these three types, medium and heavy rare earths are the most scarce and the most critical. Many of them are used in the military field, chips, motivations, and new materials are medium and heavy rare earths. Judging from the distribution of my country's storage, light rare earths are mainly in the north, and the scarce and key medium and heavy rare earths are mainly in the south. There are several large mineral-rich areas in the country, concentrated in the Mongolian-Nantai Autonomous Region, eastern Guangdong Province, southern Gansu Province, and Xichuan Province. In addition, many other provinces have decentralized storage, including Qianzhou. However, because of the small inventory, mining is not easy, and the local benefits are relatively small, so the opposition is naturally not as strong as those rich provinces.

From the perspective of the central government and Chen Kangjie, the most important thing is to solve these four provinces, grasp the main contradictions, resolve the main contradictions, and adopt the strategy of grasping the big and letting go of the small. As long as these four provinces are controlled and stable, the situation in the country will be basically controlled and stable.

After the old leader discussed with Secretary Wei, he also recognized Chen Kangjie's intention. Whether in terms of resource strategy or economic benefits, they had no reason to oppose Chen Kangjie's opinion. When discussing the strategy, the two politicians came up with the method to start from these four provinces, first concentrate the rare earth markets of these four provinces, and entrust them all to the China Future Metallurgical Group registered in China, which Hongyuan has registered.

Of course, this is not the focus of the central government's current work. The focus at this time is to do a good job in convening the 14th National Congress. Therefore, the questions about rare earths are simply a brief communication between the old leader and Secretary Wei. If you take action, you must wait until the successful conclusion of the 14th National Congress.

In mid-November, the First Plenary Session of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in the Great Hall of the Capital, which was almost a month later than the original history. A total of 1,965 representatives participated, 24 fewer than the original number. They joined the Party before 1927 and held leadership positions. 35 respected old comrades also attended the meeting. In addition, 307 members of the Central Advisory Committee, members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and other responsible persons who were not representatives of this conference attended the meeting.

In Chen Kangjie's view, this conference has four most worthy of attention. These four focus is closely related to the future trends and trends of the entire country, and is also closely linked to Chen Kangjie's future goal strategy implementation.

The first and most important aspect is that the old leader’s trip to the south, who was fully affirmed and recognized by this conference, summarized the achievements and experience of economic construction in the past 14 years, decided to continue to adhere to reform, expand opening up, and continue to follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, determined the strategic deployment for the future period, and made the decision to improve the economy as soon as possible.

This first point determines the development path and development direction of the entire country from the overall perspective of the entire strategy. This is something that Chen Kangjie is very happy to see. As long as this direction is available, the strong rolling wheel of the entire country will move forward unstoppably, because the strategy of the ruling party will be transformed into a national strategy due to constitutional factors.

Secondly, Chen Kangjie's old friend Comrade Zhao Zhibang finally entered the ranks of giants and became one of the seven giants. This personnel adjustment is of vital significance to Chen Kangjie. This adjustment has enabled Zhao Zhibang to enter the national and global vision. Foreign media have speculated that the young Zhao Zhibang will enter the altar in the future and take charge of the entire country. This is the layout of the new and old changes of the national leaders, because Zhao Zhibang is in his early fifties as the most suitable advantage for succession.

In Zhao Zhibang's actions to go to the next level, he was affected by three reasons. First, the old leader was attracted by Zhao Zhibang's ability and character. Especially the article predicting the collapse of the Soviet Union. After the Soviet Union really disintegrated, the entire senior management admired his outstanding vision and paid attention to his development path. That article was his stepping stone. The old leader arranged this personnel layout, which was to confirm the country's ruling leadership for the future ten years later. Of course, Zhao Zhibang's road to the altar was not so smooth, nor would he face competition. He also needed a long process of training and avoiding various challenges and risks as if walking on thin ice.

The second is that his ability to develop the economy was reflected. After he was transferred from Qianzhou, it was said that Qianzhou's rapid progress had nothing to do with it. However, whether from the information reflected by the Qianzhou Provincial Party Committee and other places, it was unanimously believed that it was the foundation he laid. Without this foundation, Qianzhou would not have achieved subsequent achievements. There were two important figures here, Huang Zhenhua and Chen Kangjie, one provincial party secretary, and the other was an economic tycoon known to the senior officials. Both of them recognized Zhao Zhibang's basic contributions when facing the old leader or Secretary Wei. Chen Kangjie once used the setting of the economic reform pilot zone as an example to advise the old leader, saying that this was a historic contribution. If there was no such foundation, there would be no policies, and the subsequent development would lack innate factors.

After Zhao Zhibang was transferred to Nigu, he proposed a development plan for the one and two rivers basins. In order to support this plan, Hongyuan invested 2.8 billion RMB in a row, thus greatly improving the economic development and people's living standards in the Nigu area.

The third factor he can get such an extraordinary promotion is that he handled a foreign-led ethnic separatist activity well, with a tough and a tough qualifying situation, which is a necessary quality for a national leader.

Third, an important decision was made at this conference, that is, no longer set up the Central Advisory Committee. Others were not paying much attention to this action, but Chen Kangjie believed that it was of great significance. This action cut off the shackles of the young generation of central leaders' collective independence.

The old cadres and comrades in the Central Advisory Committee are indeed a huge wealth. The former regime was in their hands. They have made important contributions to the independence of the country and the economic development. Even if they have retired from specific positions, they still have a strong influence on the political situation, especially after a group of old men united.

If there are advantages, there will be disadvantages. Past experience does not mean that it is suitable for today's era. These central advisers are all old and have experienced special times. Therefore, most of their thinking tends to be conservative. In the past, they will always form a joint force to put pressure on or influence the leadership collectively, thereby affecting the development of the current situation and the formulation of policies. They are generally closer to conservative, so they are not a blessing for future development. The cancellation of the existence of this organization at this conference will enable these new generations of leaders to go into battle lightly, grasp the characteristics and direction of the times, and lead the entire country forward according to their own ideas and understanding.

The fourth important feature is that at this conference, the future economic development expectations were revised. The economic growth rate was adjusted from 6 to 7% to 9 to 10% annual growth, which reflects the confidence of the entire senior management and the accurate grasp of future development. Of course, this is inseparable from the economic achievements made in the past 14 years. With a good foundation, of course, we must go to a higher level.

There is a small episode here. According to the original history, it was only adjusted from 6 to 9. Because Qianzhou's large investment, development and the resulting driving effect in recent years have increased that one percent. Of course, the current contribution is not enough to increase the economic growth rate of one percent. What Chen Kangjie didn't know is that he was actually calculated because it is predicted that by the completion of Chen Kangjie's investment in Japan, a large amount of funds will enter the country, which will solve the country's foreign exchange shortage and insufficient development funds to a certain extent. As for how much funds will come in, they are still unclear, and Chen Kangjie is not clear either, so under the doctrine of moderate thinking, the proportion has been increased by one percent.

This conference is a united conference, a pragmatic and progressive conference. This conference will surely turn the spring breeze of 1992 into a drizzle that moistens the entire land of China. It is also after this conference that the West completely lifted sanctions on China. Foreign-invested enterprises took root and sprouted on the land of China like mushrooms after a rain, especially Japanese-funded enterprises and Korean-funded enterprises, with the strongest momentum and the fastest development.

After this conference, the economic development speed of the entire continent began to change from single digits to ten digits, ushering in the golden decade after reform and opening up, solidly laying the foundation for a strong country and providing conditions for the future reversal of the rights pattern.

This conference did not only have an impact on major policies, and his performance was not all about macro strategies at the national level. These will eventually be implemented in local areas. Then, at the opportunity of this conference, under the instigation of Chen Kangjie, Qianzhou would propose a super bold infrastructure construction plan, which would build a 4,500-kilometer highway with eight horizontal and eight vertical lines to achieve highways in counties, thereby fundamentally breaking the development bottleneck of Qianzhou. At the same time, a new railway construction plan of 2,700 kilometers was proposed. However, more decision-making power is in the central government for the construction of railways, and there will be much more difficulties and twists and turns.

A meeting with great significance can not only be reflected in the macro-macro adjustments at the national level, nor in the strategic layout at the provincial level. The final effect must be reflected in the economic achievements achieved by the actual individual enterprises. Only when each enterprise has grown and grown, those big things are meaningful and have a core, otherwise they will be empty.
