If you search for Fudan's school anniversary online, you will probably be confused because there are three results.

The first one is May 27, a school anniversary publicly recognized by Fudan, and is an adjustment made to commemorate the liberation of Shenghai.

The second and third types are both school-building days, September 4 and September 14 respectively. Moreover, there are more search results on September 4, but it is likely that it is wrong. I don’t know who made the mistake, and then a large number of related web pages are all wrong. The real school-building day is the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2001, and Fudan Public School officially opened.

Therefore, Fudan's 100th anniversary celebration is scheduled for September 24... It may be to take care of the military training of freshmen, and the school also needs time to organize and prepare.

The problem is that it is only early May, why did Song Weiyang run back to attend the school anniversary?

Haha, Fudan’s 100th anniversary school anniversary activities have been held one after another since New Year’s Day. On January 1, the “Oriental Pearl Tower Climbing Competition” and “New Year’s Concert” were held at the same time, opening the prelude to the 100th anniversary school anniversary activities that lasted for more than half a year.

The "China Mayor Forum", "21st Century University Annual Meeting", and "Pacific Rim Mathematics Conference" were held in the middle... These were all hosted by Fudan University and all revolve around the 100th anniversary of the school.

The event that Song Weiyang came back this time was called "Shenghai Forum" (the first session), and was held at the same time as the "Fortune Forum" in Beijing. The "Fortune Forum" is global, with many major domestic and foreign leaders participating, and the official atmosphere is stronger. The "Shenghai Forum" is also global and has a stronger academic atmosphere, and is the highest-standard among the series of activities in the 100th anniversary of Fudan school anniversary.

Due to time reasons, Song Weiyang could only choose one of two, but he could not help but choose Sheng Hai.

Returning to Shenghai from Harbor City, Song Weiyang happened to catch up with the welcome dinner. He was arranged in the front position, and the guests at the same table were a little inconvenient to say, so I would like to mention those who were having sex abroad: the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Executive Vice President of the World Bank, Secretary-General of the Boao Forum, Mr. Li from Singapore, etc.

If it were last year, Song Weiyang would definitely not be qualified to sit at this table, and he would most likely be arranged at the No. 2 or No. 3 table. But this year is different. The richest Chinese in the world and the seventh richest man in the world.

Although status cannot be measured completely in such occasions. China is still developing hard at this moment. It is far more valuable than the rarer ones in the world after ten years.

The dinner had not officially begun. As the youngest and richest person at Table 1, Song Weiyang received the focus of other guests at this table, and actively communicated with him in English or Chinese.

Song Weiyang generally does not send business cards, but this table is obviously an exception. Not only did he send all the tables on Table 1, he also sent out Table 2 and Table 3. There was no way, all the guests here were big shots, politics, academics, and business circles, and several presidents of top universities at home and abroad came.

I have to say that Fudan University has such a great reputation, and it has invited so many awesome people to set up a forum.

By the way, among the guests invited by the forum, Song Weiyang is the only domestic private entrepreneur. Because the forum focuses on academic exchanges, it talks about some macro things and hardly involves specific business behaviors. Entrepreneurs don’t know what to do when they come here.

The local official boss delivered a speech at the dinner. Amid the applause, eating and drinking began. Xianjiu and various beverages under Xifeng were open for supply at the dinner. They were all given the sponsorship qualifications based on Song Weiyang's face. Unfortunately, except for the guests from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, other foreigners are not used to drinking white wine.

The forum officially started the next day. The whole process was extremely boring. Each guest who spoke had to speak for at least 20 minutes. And it was all of the macroscopic things. If you unfold them properly, you could use them to do your master's thesis.

Some people's speeches were a little highlight, but most of them made Song Weiyang doze off when he listened. Perhaps they had a certain degree of forward-looking nature, but Song Weiyang is a time traveler, and this forward-looking nature is common sense for him.

The theme of the forum is "Economic Globalization and the Choice of Asia", which can be developed around the three aspects of energy, finance and IT. The guests choose their own focus when speaking.

Although Song Weiyang is very rich, he is not even an entry-level student in the academic world. He was arranged to speak on the last day. But it doesn't matter. Mr. Li from Singapore also spoke, saying something rusty, and after squeezing moisture, there is no nutrition.

What is particularly nonsense is that as soon as Mr. Li finished his speech, the Fudan leader came to the stage in person and awarded Mr. Li the honorary doctoral certificate.

Amidst the sparse applause, Song Weiyang finally came on stage. The foreigners put on simultaneous interpretation headphones and waited for him to speak. Song Weiyang first bowed, then smiled and said, "Dear leaders, guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to explain my views. I don't understand academics or policies. I discuss academic policies with all leaders and experts. It's purely a demonstration of my skills..."

There is no need to play humor in this kind of occasion. One is more serious than the other. If you tell jokes, you will only be despised.

Song Weiyang went straight to the topic and said, "The theme of this forum is 'Economic Globalization and the Choice of Asia', which mainly focuses on three aspects: energy, finance and IT. When I accepted the invitation, the organizer Fudan University said to me: 'You can talk about it, you are an expert in this area.' I am not an expert, and I don't talk about it today, I want to talk about energy."

"The issue of economic globalization is very complex, especially in energy. There are many developing countries in Asia, with insufficient capital, technology and industrial strength and can only rely on the sale of natural resources to seek development. Natural resources are the primary products, and their prices are often suppressed very low, and bring about a series of environmental problems. Today I will not talk about anything else, but I will talk about rare earths, which are purely personal opinions and have nothing to do with academics."

"The great man said during his southern tour that there is oil in the Middle East and rare earths in China. Rare earths have extensive and large applications in the six major fields recognized by the scientific community today, "information, biology, new materials, new energy, space, and ocean". The 35 strategic elements of the United States and 26 high-tech elements of daily benzene all include all rare earth elements. At present, China accounts for 95% of the proven rare earth reserves, and 97% of the global rare earth supply comes from China. Oil resources have made Middle Eastern countries rich in oil, but China's rare earths are sold at the price of pork."

"I am very happy that the Chinese government can attach importance to this situation and ban the export of rare earth raw ore from this year and significantly increase the export tax on rare earths. But I think it should go further. At present, China's rare earth industry is full of loose sand, overcapacity, disorderly competition, excessive mining and digging, large amounts of cheap exports, and even smuggling. I think it should be led by relevant departments to strengthen industry integration, and the excess is collected and stored by the state."

"Now there are more than 1,000 rare earth enterprises in China, distributed in more than 10 provinces and cities across the country, but less than 10 with annual processing capacity of more than 2,000 tons. Many small enterprises are indiscriminately digging and cannot sell them after mining. They can only compete with each other at a price limit and sell their precious rare earth resources into cabbage. At the current mining speed, China's proven rare earth reserves will be excavated at most 30 years later."

"Since 1983, Japan benzene has established a rare mineral reserve system and stored a large amount of rare earth ores. Currently, more than 80% of Japan benzene's rare earths are exported from China. The United States, which has the second largest rare earth reserve in the world, has gradually stopped mining rare earths since 1999, and sealed the largest rare earth ore in the United States, and instead imported from China to enrich its strategic reserves..."

"Economic globalization is not arbitrary trading, it must be based on equality and freedom. Nowadays, many natural resources in developing countries have been over-lowered, and China's rare earths are seriously underestimated. I think it is normal to increase the current rare earth prices by three or five times, and the current ultra-low prices are extremely abnormal. I also have electronic companies. The rising price of rare earths is actually not a good thing for me, and it will increase the cost of my products. But I hope that various natural resources, including rare earths, can be mined and sold in a long and orderly manner, so as to achieve long-term development of the industry."

"If this continues, what should I do if China's rare earth mines are dug 30 years later? What should I do if the United States' rare earth mines are dug 50 years later? By that time, how can our high-tech products obtain important raw materials? How can human society achieve technological progress? Remediating rare earth mining and adjusting rare earth prices are beneficial to the long-term development of the whole world and mankind. We cannot just focus on the present..."

Song Weiyang is definitely an outlier. Other speakers have explained macro theories and said some good words and empty words that everyone likes to hear. Song Weiyang came to pull up rare earths, and clearly hoped that the central government would strictly control it. Representatives of some multinational companies immediately had an unnatural expression.

All speeches from this forum will be sorted out for viewing by the government and research institutions.

Song Weiyang only hopes that his speech can attract the attention of relevant departments and carry out rare earth control earlier than another time and space.

This thing is actually much better than coal, because the price is too low and the amount is not very large. Take cerium oxide for example, it costs just over 10 yuan per kilogram, which is cheaper than pork!

From ten years ago to now, the global demand for rare earths has increased by three times, while China's export price of rare earths has fallen, and the price is lower than that of the 1990s. Including the continued depreciation of the US dollar in recent years, China's rare earth prices have actually fallen more terrifyingly. This is completely inconsistent with the laws of the market. The real reason is not that foreign devils have suppressed the price. Instead, there is only so much demand for rare earths, but Chinese companies are working hard to mine. After digging, they cannot sell them, and supply is oversupply, so they will fight price wars and continue to sell rare earths at a low price, resulting in lower and lower prices.

As long as the government forcibly integrates rare earth enterprises, shuts down and transfers a large number of small mines, and controls the annual mining volume, the price of rare earths will immediately rise.

What is Song Weiyang’s current identity?
