On November 10, 1986, the third day after the beginning of winter, a BJ212 drove out of the office area of Tongxing Coal Mine in WT County, and headed towards Wutai Mountain Scenic Area along the road with snow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was only one driver in the car, Zhang Nan, who came here to talk about business.

In just a few days, he has already completed a full 30,000 tons of coal for power generation, and the first heavy-duty coal train has been sent out late at night before the night and sent directly to Cao'e Freight Station in Jiangnan Province.

While still negotiating, the first 2,000 tons of coal payment arrived by wire transfer, which made the subsequent negotiations very smooth.

Originally, a maximum of 3,000 tons of Tongxing Coal Mine was given, but because Zhang Nan threw out preferential conditions, the supplier immediately promised that as long as the payment was made in time, it could add 25,000 tons to the 5,000 tons!

For an open-pit coal mine with an annual output of 600,000 tons, the demand for 30,000 tons is not small, not to mention that the buyer of Jiangnan Province said that the extra 25,000 tons of coal needed a year ago can be generously raised by 8 percent.

What's more: in the future, you can follow this way, at least 100,000 tons a year.

At such a price, not to mention Tongxing Coal Mine, all nearby coal mining enterprises will be warmly welcomed!

This is also only a few customers in the southern provinces have this courage, because Jiangnan Province has been partially liberalized economically, and part of the "bargaining system" has been implemented, which is not yet on the Wutai side.

The leaders of the coal industry even hinted in the negotiations that if they could add more points, they could give some benefits to Zhang Nan, but Zhang Nan directly refused: if something happened, he would lose a lot of money, and he couldn't do it.

In fact, the 30,000 tons of coal will give the power plant a maximum of 15,000 tons, and the material bureau will have to slaughter the power plant!

The price of thermal coal according to the national standard is less than two-thirds of the price of standard coal, and the difference is almost doubled! Only the coal brought in by the unplanned quota will not be given according to the price of thermal coal, and the power plant will not lose money anyway.

The remaining 15,000 tons of coal materials are intended to be used by the bureau to make favors and make a lot of money: there is a shortage of coal, and the "white market" (the price set by the government) to any unit is a favor of tens or hundreds of tons, and this is still 60 or 70 percent higher than the arrival price.

You can also use at least twice the "bargaining" method of the "white market" to make another profit!

You can even sell coal to the material bureaus of nearby counties and cities at a high price in Cao'e in the next county, anyway, the coal will be in Jiangnan without fear that no one will want it, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it!

As for the county, it is merit to bring back the coal and make the money, who cares about the greasy ones in you, and the planned economy also has loopholes, not to mention that it has been loosened now.

Zhang Nan made a meritorious service: In the middle of the night on the day he first arrived at Wutai, he had a direct call with Comrade Director of the bureau in an inter-provincial long-distance telephone call that took more than three hours to connect. The leader gave Zhang Nan the right to increase by 20% at most, and he only used 8 points to get it.

When I go back, I will be rewarded, my salary will be raised, and I will pay bonuses, and I will mention it if I have reasonable requirements.

Why do you have to call in the middle of the night?

If you use an urgent telegram, the other party will be able to know the bottom line of your negotiation -- in fact, the telephone is not very safe, and the operator can hear it, but Zhang Nan's and Comrade Bureau's Yanxian dialect is a super password, and it is absolutely safe.

The director explained that Zhang Nan still needs to stay in Wutai for at least half a month, and every week a huge wire remittance will arrive at the WT County Post and Telecommunications Bureau, which needs to be signed by Zhang Nan in person to cash in.

"As long as you send me coal, I will pay in cash!" This coal mine attaches more importance to this coal mine: this open-pit coal mine is designed to produce 600,000 tons per year, 50,000 tons per month. But only the bonuses for employees are enough, and it is no problem to dig an extra 10,000 tons or 20,000 tons a month.

This is all money, the tens of thousands of tons of coal dug more are still the "live coal, live money" that the enterprise has a lot of control over, and the customers in Jiangnan Province are typical "people are stupid and have a lot of money", as long as the railway is done.

This time, the coal mine is even more enthusiastic about Zhang Nan, who controls the economic power of this transaction: the best room in the guest house is lived, and he eats a big meal every day, and he doesn't have to pay invoices to give it, and he can be reimbursed when he goes back.

He even asked for as many invoices as he wanted: the coal mine knew that the salesman had a hospitality fee, and even if he didn't spend a penny, the coal mine had to pretend that it had already been spent, so that the other salesman could make more benefits.

Zhang Nan is not polite at this point, it should be opened, compared with the floating points of the price of embezzling coal, this is not a matter.

Yesterday was finally busy, and Zhang Nan spent most of the next half of the week resting and doing nothing, so it was time to do something serious.

Xiang Kai wanted to borrow a three-wheeled motorcycle, so that he could go to the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area with nothing to do, and stay there for two days by the way. As a result, the coal mine directly gave Zhang Nan a jeep with a local police car license plate for Zhang Nan to use, and his magic power is vast!

Who said that only a few decades later, the coal boss will be powerful? This coal mine will also exist in the local area!

also gave a gasoline ticket and an envelope with 500 yuan in cash, and let Zhang Nan play and open it casually.

This is not considered bribery, commonly known as "stuffing the right hand", giving a little sweetness, and it is not registered in the account book.

The rooms in the guest house were also reserved, and they could stay at any time they came back -- because of the cold weather, they also took the initiative to prepare a brand-new military wool coat in the car, plus a blowtorch to heat and bake the frozen water tank and engine in case of emergency.

…….

"It's so cold! No wonder it's called Qingliang Mountain!"

According to the map of WT County obtained from the coal mine, Zhang Nan drove the car into the Wutai Mountains, and the cold was coming!

Although this Wutai Mountain is at about the same latitude as the capital, its climatic characteristics are similar to that of DXAL in northeastern China, which is relatively low-lying and is already around zero degrees during the day, and even more casually minus 10 degrees at night!

And Zhang Nan's destination is the top of Zhongtai in Wutai Mountain, with an altitude of 2,894 meters, which is a place where there is no summer, and the extreme low temperature in winter can reach minus 44 degrees!

There is an improvised road leading to the top of Zhongtai Terrace, and the road is basically submerged in snow.

Install snow chains on the tires, pull up the afterburner bar, and the BJ212 struggles to go up under the four-wheel drive. The ten-kilometer road from Taihuai Town to Taiding at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Nan stopped and drove for more than 2 hours!

There is not a single tree here, and the summit is gentle and huge, 150,000 square meters! Because the altitude is too high and the wind is strong, the snow is not as thick as halfway up the mountainside, revealing countless boulders and dense half-dried moss.

The cold wind was biting, the clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and it seemed that it was going to snow heavily.

Parking the car at the leeward of a boulder, Zhang Nan got out of the car and put on a military coat, walked around the boulder, passed a gentle slope only two or three meters high, and took out his binoculars to observe a building at the other end of the mountain: it was five weather stations, almost 600 meters away.

"There should be someone on duty inside, and if it snows, you can start work, otherwise you have to wait until the evening. ”

Less than 30 meters from the boulder is the ruins of a large building, which is said to have been built thousands of years ago, the site of the Yanjiao Temple, which was no longer occupied at least 20 years ago, and almost all the buildings were completely destroyed - and this is Zhang Nan's goal.

Wait, wait quietly. Observe the weather station every once in a while: today Monday, plus the cold weather, not to mention the tourists, even the weather station duty staff does not come out.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, there was a heavy snow in the sky, and it was impossible to see clearly from twenty or thirty meters away, and it would not stop for a while and a half.

Braving the wind and snow, Zhang Nan carried the hiking bag that had taken out all the unnecessary things, came to the ruins, observed a circle, and determined the specific goal in less than ten minutes.

This is an ancient tower base, the components on the top are gone, and they have been completely removed by artificial, and they can only be judged from the traces left on the ground that there was once a tower here, and ordinary people can't recognize it at all.

Select the center position of the tower base, take out the tool and start drying.

It took more than an hour for the sapper shovel to remove the large and small broken bricks and soil, and in the middle of it, it was necessary to go to the car to start it and let the engine run for a few minutes, so as not to completely freeze.

People are so tired in the wind and snow that they can't stand to return to the jeep, but fortunately, this 212 is a model with a heater, and the heater is turned on after starting.

Back at the base of the tower, a large stone slab covers the middle. After digging a few times from the corners with a hoe and axe, it was found that this stone slab was only seven or eight centimeters thick, but this was the case, and this stone slab was not something that Zhang Nan could move alone.

Then you can only smash it open!

The cold wind was howling all around, and if it weren't for the professional winter mountaineering equipment, Zhang Nan would probably have been frozen to death! Through the windbreakers, the boulders 30 meters away were blurry, and it was estimated that someone threw a grenade here, and nothing could be heard from a few hundred meters away.

The hardness and toughness of the axe of the hoe axe are excellent, and I chiseled the slate a few times without much effort and tried the feel, "Hey!"

A few more axes came horizontally, and the slate cracked into several pieces.

Piece by piece, move away, clean up. By this time, it was already dark, so I put my headlamp on my hat and turned it on, and turned on my portable lamp and put it on the side.

Under the slate is a thin layer of earth, and hundreds of square hole round ancient coins appear densely in sight.

Pick it up and put it in the prepared canvas bag, ignoring the dirt on the coins - some of the coins were wiped off by gloves in the light, revealing a mesmerizing golden yellow!

Yes, it's gold!

The world's only batch of "Chunhua ingots back Buddha statue offering money" is right in front of Zhang Nan's eyes!
