Rare earth industry development Plan



Hunan Province, recently released the rare earth industry, "second five" development goals. Objectives, the next five years in Hunan Province will invest 5 billion yuan focuses on advancing the 10 rare earth industry projects, and strive to the end of the "12th Five-Year, rare earth products annual sales income of 300 billion yuan, and promote the development of upstream and downstream industries to form one hundred billion element of the scale.It will also bost business oportunities for metal roof sheets manufacturer in sales of custom made metal sheets.


  It is the latest formulation of the rare earth industry development plan, in the next five years, Hunan will focus on supporting the top ten items of rare earth resources prospecting and exploitation of rare earth resources, processing and utilization, the formation of a rational layout, the coordinated development of the intensive growth of rare earth products industry R & D system, built a leading rare earth products deep processing base and the base of rare earth functional materials and device applications.


    Hunan abundant rare earth minerals, which Fergusonite Hunan peculiar maintain reserves ranking first in the country; ion-adsorption rare earth ore reserves ranks fourth in the country; light rare earth mineral reserves rank fifth in the country. In rare earth development and utilization of more than a dozen furniture have a certain scale of rare earth metals mining, smelting, separating enterprises, Hunan Rare Earth Metal Material Research Institute, Central South University also has a number of research institutes.


    Large enterprises like metal roof sheets manufacturer  is mainly involved in the rare earth industry in Hunan Minmetals Group. The end of August, Minmetals, Yongzhou, Hunan signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop rare earth resources in Yongzhou city, and the field playing billion industry. It is reported that before the end of December 2013, the Minmetals Group, will invest in Jianghua County, Yongzhou 2.08 billion yuan to develop the separation of rare earth, rare earth smelting, phosphor, energy-saving lamps, permanent magnet materials, rare earth hydrogen storage alloy powder, rare earth deep processing and application industries chain.The target is 2015, the entire rare earth deep processing industry projects to achieve annual output value of 10 billion yuan, 1.5 billion yuan in profits and taxes.

A foreign company through the Internet, contact Ningbo, a foreign trade company, purchased 500 tons of high-quality custom made metal sheets from metal roof sheets manufacturer  , did not expect that after receiving a look out of the box turned out to be 500 tons of white powder! The operation of the foreign trade company Humou yesterday Haishu court found guilty of contract fraud, sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined 100,000 yuan.

Because he felt that, as long as the business is always able to "dismantle the Western Wall fill the east wall, to maintain the company's business.


  In June last year, a company located in Pakistan need a group of high-quality galvanized steel sheet roll, his contact information on B2B Portal. This is a single business of nearly $ 300,000, and he was determined to do good. Early August, Pakistan has appointed two employees to China for inspection, he made a special trip to rush to Shanghai the airport and take them to visit Hangzhou at the supplier. The two staff members after returning to Pakistan with his implementation of the signed contracts and other matters. The company to buy his company a total of 500 tons of high-quality hot dip galvanized steel volume, amounting to $ 292,000.


  But this time, he was heavily in debt, illiquidity can not afford to purchase to complete the transaction with Pakistan. He got a letter of credit, but also because of some other problem in the bank to apply for mortgage loans, usury another forcing him to repayment, in the dead end of the case, moving from bad brains.


  Perpetrating a fraud, muddle customs cheat money


  At first, he was looking for several freight forwarding companies to ship empty containers.However, freight forwarding companies do not want to do such a risky thing, he thought of "trickery" program.


  B2B Portal Search supply, but looking for is not a high-quality hot-dip galvanized steel plate, but to find a cheap component things close and hot dip galvanized steel volumes, the last of his choice cheap dolomite industrial calcium carbonate. He bought 500 tonnes of dolomite, commissioned ship in the freight forwarding company.


  Exports of goods, the Customs declaration is a necessary procedure. Directly reported dolomite, then Pakistan will certainly not receiving, he would not be able to take credit negotiation, not the purchase price; newspaper hot galvanized steel roll "goods, customs inspection, you will find does not comply, the consequences are very serious. So he came up with a "best of both worlds" approach: cargo name is written in the English label, PRIME HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED COILS BIG / REGULAR SPANGLE (hot dip galvanized steel plate); marked in Chinese The cargo name written dolomite.


  In this way, the staff of the Chinese Customs to see the Chinese that invoices match; Pakistan consignee English, that the cargo is hot dip galvanized steel volumes. He drilled "under normal circumstances no one will pay attention to control the English name and Chinese name of the goods whether unification match" vulnerabilities.


  Arrested, knowing that sooner or later something bad will happen


  The Humou the ruse succeed, goods out money hand. He immediately closed his business, the phone also change the number.


  After the receipt of the Pakistani company, open the container to see 500 tons of dolomite, dumbfounded. Contact them on Humou not know she had been tricked, and immediately made a report to the Chinese police.


  On March 28 of this year, Humou Ningbo apprehended by the police. Trial, Humou said he knew "Sooner or later you will have trouble, then you just want a hand the money first by paying the money from relatives and friends, also the usury. As to what the consequences of the fraud, he has refused to take. Yesterday, he Haishu Court contract fraud in accordance with the law punished.Ningbo Evening News reporter Gold correspondent Chen Jing Li Yishan
