Chapter 474
After Yuan Qiao left, Lu Hanyan called Chen Bo.
"Can you help me ask something?" Lu Hanyan asked.
"You still use me to inquire about things? There is no news about Ning Gangping. I think he may be frightened, and the leader is also determined to deal with the Guilu Group. You'd better be prepared, I can help you That’s all…”
"No, it's about Caojiashan Mine..."
Only then did Chen Bo know that Cao Tianlu had been paroled for medical treatment.
The feud between Caojiashan Rare Earth Mine and Guilu Group has been going on for a year or two. I think we all cooperated very happily at the beginning. Under the mediation of Qiu Chengan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Caojiashan Mine and Guilu Group cooperated very well. The Lu Group provided the money, and the Caojiashan Mine provided personnel.
Caojiashan is a place name, and the place where it is located is called Caojiashan Village.
Everyone in the village has only one surname, Cao. Because it is in the mountains, communication costs are very high. At the beginning, the city government also wanted to attract investment for development, but several companies came because they could not reach an agreement with the local people. And divested.
After the Guilu Group entered the market, it suggested that Caojiashan Village register a company. On the one hand, it would solve the labor problem in Caojiashan Village and hold a certain share. Because it is excavated and refined in Caojiashan Village, Caojiashan Village as a company also has dividends. .
Originally everything was going well, but later the Guilu Group tampered with the accounts. This inside story was known to Cao Tianlu, the leader of Caojiashan Village, and he directly reported it to the city.
The Caojiashan people have been at odds with the Guilu Group since then. What they want is to expel the Guilu Group from the project. They will raise their own money and introduce new investors to continue operating the mine, but again, in Nangang, There is no project that Guilu Group cannot win.
Soon, Cao Tianlu was arrested for illegal fund-raising and sentenced to seven years. This year is only the fourth year. He did not expect to be released on medical parole so soon.
Could this be a signal?
Kan Zhengde and Kan Yunshan, father and son, looked at each other and thought of the previous court's decision, which completely rejected Guilu Group's appeal. Despite this, Guilu Group applied for a retrial.
But no matter what, this is a bad signal.
The court rejected their appeal, which is understandable. Litigation is just delaying time. Although Guilu Group invested a lot of money, the Caojiashan mine has completely stopped, and the refining price of rare earths in the international market has increased. It has risen several levels. The problem is that even if the rare earths from Caojiashan Mine are no longer used, the profits from processing the supplied materials are still considerable.
In the past few decades, China has supplied more than 80% of the world's rare earths. However, due to various companies competing to lower prices, our rare earth minerals have been sold at cabbage prices.
This is very sad to say, but no one expected that it would also have an unexpected result.
That is because China has opened up its supply of rare earths, and most of its rare earth refining technologies have been iterated. These are controlled by Chinese companies. This has resulted in the fact that even if there are rare earth minerals produced abroad, their refining technology is far inferior. In China, when the country restricted exports, foreign buyers discovered that they did not have the technology to build factories. Now that rare earths are developed in the United States, they have to be shipped to China and processed into finished products.
Now the Caojiashan Rare Earth Refinery is controlled by the people of Caojiashan Village, but because they have no money, and the previous sales have always been controlled by Guilu Group, in fact, to put it bluntly, this refinery is involved in the ongoing litigation. Which company dares to do business with a company that is in litigation, especially if it is related to the ownership of the company.
Therefore, although the company is in the hands of the Caojiashan people, production has been suspended for many years. Even though the leader Cao Tianlu was imprisoned, the people in this village still did not give in.
When Kan Zhengde was having a headache, Lu Hanyan came.
She hasn't been to Kan Zhengde's old house for a long time.
Kan Zhengde didn't want to see her either. Now that he saw her, he wanted to kill her, but the situation was stronger than the people. If people couldn't see the situation clearly, they would die faster.
Lu Hanyan glanced at Yuan Qiao before speaking. Yuan Qiao nodded without any trace and then went out.
"Cao Tianlu is out."
"We know this. My dad and I are talking about this. What should we do?"
"The refinery matter will have to be resolved after the new year. I would like to take some time to talk to Cao Tianlu to see if there is any possibility of reconciliation?" Lu Hanyan said.
"We are rushing to talk to him, so he can't speak like a lion?" Kan Yunshan said with a frown.
Lu Hanyan glanced at Kan Zhengde and said: "There is no way. I asked my friends to find out that Cao Tianlu was not ill. He was able to come out because someone from the province made a statement. The so-called medical parole is just a cover-up. Just watch, once Cao Tianlu comes back , the dispute about this refinery will have to be brought up for speculation again, what will we do then?"
Kan Zhengde and Kan Yunshan suddenly understood that if someone from the province had spoken, who else could it be? There was no one else but Wei Yangbing.
Kan Yunshan was stunned for a while and then said: "How about this? I'll go to the province to talk to him and see if there is any room for easing this matter?"
Lu Hanyan waited for him to finish, and then immediately added a sentence, which completely stopped Kan Yunshan from thinking about it.
"In the case of the refinery, we had Qiu Chengan's backing. Haven't you seen it yet? The court's ruling no longer supports us. Baijiang Industrial couldn't deal with us in other aspects, but in the case of the refinery, what did you do at that time? Yes, you know it by heart, I think this is the first opening we will open. Is it useful for you to go at this time?" Lu Hanyan asked disdainfully.
Kan Zhengde's saliva flowed onto his clothes. Lu Hanyan glanced at it with disgust and did not move. Kan Yunshan saw it and reached out to take out a tissue and wipe it clean for him.
Kan Zhengde closed his eyes and opened them after a while. He looked at Kan Yunshan and said, "Go and give away as much as you want until he is satisfied..."
"Satisfied? What they want is the entire Guilu Group. Are you thinking of sending those three walnuts and two dates as a gift? Would they be interested?" Lu Hanyan interrupted Kan Zhengde and said.
"Shut up, get out, get out..." Kan Zhengde was completely angry, and his speech became surprisingly clear. It seemed that he could only fully use his mouth muscles when swearing.
Lu Hanyan didn't even look at him, got up and left.
Kan Zhengde held his son's hand, his eyes widening in horror.
"This bitch is right. Other cases related to our group have no perpetrators, but Cao Jiashan is different. This is indeed our biggest problem..." Kan Zhengde took a breath and said with all his strength.
