Xie Anping is certainly not a fool.

He found a grass platform team and went to investigate the mines provided by Tangmen.

Several of these coal mines, relatively concentrated, are located at the junction of the three provinces of Bashu Sanqin and Gan Province, the southeast of Gan Province, under the jurisdiction of Gan Province, and in the territory of Hui C County of Chengzhou, Gan Province.

The biggest problem is not the reserves and quality of the mine, but the transportation problem.

Minerals here are almost impossible to get out. Railways do not exist, and there are no high-grade roads, only poor third- and fourth-class roads, and they are dilapidated.

Xie Anping has his eye on two gold mines, which are also in Chengzhou, Gan Province, in Wenwu County, next door to Huic County.

The traffic here is also very fucked, the only thing that is relatively good is that there is a river here, called Qiangshui, which is a tributary of the Yangtze River, and it is slightly more convenient to transport by water, but it is also impassable by large ships.

The two gold mines, according to Tangmen's report, have reserves of more than 100 tons.

Of course, this figure must be calculated at a discount, at least a discount, and it is mined in 10 years, and the annual output is only a few tons, and smelting also costs money, and the output can only be sold to the state at a low price.

Xie Anping's grass platform team, the final valuation of these two gold mines is 1 billion, which is sky-high. The value of those coal mines is simply ignored.

Tangmen can take out 5 mines at one time to compensate, which is somewhat sincere. Xie Anping can't be the master, this matter still has to be reported to Li Dongwen and Boss Li to decide.

Li Dongwen heard that there were three coal mines, and he was secretly happy in his heart, as for the two gold mines, he directly ignored them, only a few dozen tons of reserves, which made a miasma, it was meaningless, besides, buddy has a lot of gold, hehe, the treasury of the United States is our strategic reserve.

Li Dongwen replied: "I know, you fax the information first." Well, move on. ”

As soon as Li Dongwen got the fax information, he quietly went to Hui C County, Chengzhou, Gan Province.

Li Dongwen not only re-surveyed the three coal mines in Tangmen, but also discovered two new mines nearby, both in Huic County.

Hui C County, located at the junction of three provinces, has high mountains but dense forests. There are several small rivers, which are in the dry season during this season, and the amount of water is very small, on average just over a meter deep.

The river water is crystal clear, it is no longer the Loess Plateau of the Yellow River water system, this is the Yangtze River water system, and these streams will eventually merge into the Yangtze River.

Crisscrossed by high mountains and deep valleys, it is a typical hilly terrain with little to no flat land.

The area of cultivated land is small, less than one-fifth, mainly concentrated in the central basin, more than eighty percent is hills, and the south and north are vast mountainous areas.

Li Dongwen compared the map and circled a hilly area near the mountainous area between the southern mountainous area and the central basin, which included the three coal mines in Tangmen and the two coal mines he discovered.

Li Dongwen took the map and rushed directly to Guancheng to meet Xie Anping and Zhao Canguang.

Xie Anping and Zhao Canguang saw Li Dongwen coming in person, and they felt that the matter was very important.

Could it be that the boss is going to be ruthless to the Tang Sect?

In a luxury box in the Guancheng Club, Li Dongwen took out a map of Huic County and said to Xie Anping and Zhao Canguang: "Focus on this area, buy all the land that can be bought, rent everything that can be rented, and relocate what can be relocated." ”

Xie Anping and Zhao Canguang saw that this was a typical "poor mountain and bad water", far away from the county seat, backed by high mountains, and basically cut off from transportation, which was the scope of the three coal mines provided by Tangmen.

Xie Anping asked, "Boss Li, there is also a gold mine here?"

Li Dongwen gave him a blank look, "Gold mines, that broken thing is too polluting, tell the surname Tang, those two broken gold mines are not uncommon for us." This place, we want it. Let them get this place done as soon as possible. ”

The place where Li Dongwen drew the circle this time is a bit large, covering several townships, with a radius of thirty or forty miles.

This piece of land was painted by Li Dongwen with his experience in the Tongyuan enclosure. It's about the size of three or four Tongyuan bases, and in terms of area, it's about 200 square kilometers.

Compared with Tongyuan's investment experience, according to Li Dongwen's estimate, one of two or three billion yuan can be used to get the contract leasing, which is already very cheap Tangmen, compared with the 10 billion yuan of "seeking one to chase ten", it has already been discounted in two.

Li Dongwen finally handed over Anping and Zhao Canguang: "Tell the Tang family that before the end of the year, this place must be taken." It's already very cheap for them. When they negotiate with the local government, we can send a team of lawyers on Hong Kong Island to assist. ”

When Tang Changgeng heard such a result, he was a little confused, and he couldn't understand what kind of medicine was in Boss Li's gourd.

Don't want gold mines, but coal mines? Could it be that there are more valuable mines there?

No, that place has been surveyed, except for the three coal mines in his own hands are still a little valuable, the others are a few small coal kilns in towns and towns, secretly dug and mined, and a few quarries, what value can it be?

Tang Men didn't even look at it, can Boss Li take a fancy to it?

Could it be that the reserves of coal mines are very large? No matter how big they are, they are not worth much.

The current price of coal is less than 100 yuan per ton, 1 million tons, and it is only 100 million, and it is worth 100 million yuan, so it will cost 100 million tons!

This idea was quickly denied by Tang Changgeng, and the reserves surveyed at the beginning were less than 10 million tons when they were full, and they had to be mined for more than ten years, with an annual output of up to 100,000 tons.

In the coal business, the output is too high, and you have to worry about the problem of sales, and if you can't sell it, you will be a nonsense, and you will be busy in vain.

In recent years, many coal mines have lost money, that is, the output has risen, and the sales have not kept up.

At that time, Tangmen was able to look down on this business, or because of a thermal power plant under construction in Chengdu, which was a large coal eater, engaged in relationships, and sold all the coal to the power plant, which was also a long-term business.

Coal is a big part of the transportation cost, and power plants are simply not economical to transport coal from afar to generate electricity. The economic radius of car transport is about 600 km, and it is not cost-effective to exceed this distance.

The thermal power plant in Chengdu is relatively close to these coal mines in Tangmen, only 50 kilometers away, and the location of the power plant at that time was also based on this consideration.

The construction of the power plant has already started, but it will take at least two years before it is put into operation for power generation, so the Tangjia coal mine is only in the initial stage of construction preparations, and has not started coal mining.

The initial plan was to build roads and open up roads from coal mines to power plants.

Of course, the money for the construction of the road is mainly for the local government and power plants, and Tangmen is mainly engaged in the infrastructure construction of coal mines, and even the planning of coal yards is not large.

It's good to mine it and transport it directly to the power plant, what to do with so many reserves, the management of the coal yard also costs money, the coal pile is too high, it spontaneously combusts, who is the loss?

Tang Changgeng was puzzled.
