Kuishan County.
This is the largest rare earth producing area in Jianghai Province.
It has to be said that Jianghai Province is very rich in mineral resources.
Kuishan County’s GDP ranks first among all counties in the province.
"The person who made the report was serious. He just reported it, but the information was incomplete!" Li Tailong complained.
"Maybe the person who reported it didn't have enough evidence, or maybe he had concerns." Qin Yi said calmly.
A few days ago, their petition office received an anonymous report about the smuggling of rare earths in Kuishan County.
However, the person who reported it did not provide any specific and useful information.
Overall, it still feels a bit like catching wind and shadow.
But the matter of smuggling rare earths is very serious. Regardless of whether there is such a thing, they have to come down and investigate!
inside the car.
"Team leader, this is the current mining location of all rare earth mining companies in Kuishan County." Dong Chengyun handed a piece of paper to Qin Yi.
"By the way, these are all companies with complete procedures." Dong Chengyun added.
Qin Yi took it over, looked at it, and said: "Well, if there is smuggling, it is very likely that there is a company that mines privately, or a company with incomplete procedures! Let's go to a real place to investigate first, and see if there are other things besides those Apart from companies with complete procedures, are there any other companies?”
Since we have no clue now, we can only investigate them one by one like this.
It would be best to get some useful information from the local people!
The car was driving on a country road.
Qin Yi could see reddish-brown exposed mountains or bare hills from time to time along the way. These are mining sites.
In sharp contrast to those lush mountains.
In particular, many of these mountains are barren of grass. White plastic pipes are crawling all over the mountains, and mineral leaching cement filter tanks lie in the middle of the mountains.
In the afternoon.
In a restaurant in town.
Qin Yi and his party were eating.
"Team leader, I just learned from the local people that after the development of rare earth minerals here, the mining companies are very slow to control the environmental vegetation problems of the mountains after mining!" Li Tailong reported to Qin Yihui.
"Hmph! Governance costs money! Those companies must delay as long as they can, and perfunctory as long as they can. Regarding this environmental issue, materials must be written down and submitted when the time comes!" Qin Yi said solemnly.
After eating, Qin Yi and others continued their unannounced visit.
Just like this, a week passed.
However, after everyone personally investigated or inquired from local people, they did not find that any mining company was mining privately, and they all had complete documents!
Generally speaking, when it comes to smuggling, companies that mine without a license are the most suspect.
But now after checking it out, it’s true that it doesn’t exist!
"Could that information be false? Deliberately confusing our sight and consuming our energy?" Dong Chengyun asked doubtfully.
"It's possible! But I think smuggling is very possible!" Qin Yi narrowed his eyes.
Rare earths are like mountains of gold and silver.
Although the inspection team came out a few years ago and discovered a large number of illegal mining problems, they severely rectified them.
But dogs can never change their habit of eating shit!
Although China has now introduced measures to control the mining volume of rare earths.
This makes rare earths more expensive! A ton of rare earths now costs 230,000 yuan!
For those private enterprises, and even state-owned enterprises, it is not that you can mine and produce as much as you want, but that there is a limit on how much you can mine every year!
This has caused rare earths to become even more popular.
"However, after the vigorous rectification in the past few years, we have not seen any unlicensed mining here for the time being. This is a good situation." Qin Yi touched his chin.
Then here comes the problem!
There is no private mining, so who is smuggling?
Those formal companies?
Those formal companies have restrictions on mining volume, which are well documented.
"Forget it for now, let's get down. We are going to investigate all the rare earth mining companies in the entire county!" Qin Yi said in a deep voice.
That’s the audit!
Investigate the actual production of minerals!
the next day.
Qin Yi dispatched a large number of people to come down.
In the conference room of the county government.
County party secretary Cao Haifeng and county magistrate Sun Wenbin and other cadres all greeted Qin Yi and others with smiles on their faces.
"Secretary Cao, County Magistrate Sun, our inspection team now wants to investigate all rare earth mining companies in your county, whether they are state-owned or private enterprises! Mainly to check the mining volume, actual production conditions and other issues! By the way, There is also the issue of environmental restoration after various companies mine!" Qin Yi said in a deep voice as he sat in his seat with a golden sword.
"Don't worry, Team Leader Qin, we will definitely cooperate with your work. Otherwise, I will gather the top executives of all companies here tomorrow?" Cao Haifeng asked cautiously.
"No, they must arrive in the afternoon!"
"good!"
…
Ningbai City.
When Executive Deputy Mayor Xue Changhai heard Cao Haifeng's call and the contents of the call, he frowned immediately.
"You said that the inspection team went to your county to inspect rare earth production companies?"
"Yes, mayor." Cao Haifeng replied respectfully.
These words made Xue Changhai's face darken.
They skipped their city and went directly to Kuishan County for inspection without saying hello to them!
"I understand, just cooperate with the inspection team." Xue Changhai thought for a while and said.
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
"Just patrol, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Xue Changhai narrowed his eyes.
As soon as the inspection team arrived in Jianghai Province, he immediately asked the bosses to stop increasing mining.
So I guess it’s not a big problem!
Moreover, the smuggling of rare earths has always been done very secretly, and the smuggling channels are also very complete, so there should be no problems!
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
…
The other side.
Another week has passed.
Qin Yi sent personnel to conduct on-site inspections of various minerals, and indeed no problems were found!
And after a week of investigation into the production and transportation and export volumes of these companies, there are no problems.
This made Qin Yi and others suspicious.
So about the smuggling report, is this information true or false?
"Team leader, do we want to continue the investigation?" Li Tailong looked at Qin Yi.
They worked hard for half a month but found no problems, which made Hua Chenfeng and Li Guosheng in the team complain!
"Let's go back as a large force first, leaving a few people for me to investigate a few more places!" Qin Yi thought for a while and said.
