Chapter 243: Coal Shortage

The next morning, Jiang Lang proposed to Yin Shangjie that he wanted him to be in charge of the Australian branch, but Yin Shangjie was not here, and he recommended Hao Lei to temporarily share the work in Australia.

"Mr. Jiang, I can stay. To Jiang Lang's surprise, among the dozen or so people who came over, Hong Jianghuai from the Strategy Department took the initiative to apply to stay.

"Okay, Hong Jianghuai, you stay and temporarily manage the Australian branch, Liu Jiadong and their five part-time personnel are also assigned to you to manage, you can watch the local recruitment of people, and in the future, if you don't need five part-time people, you will be dismissed, the car Hao Lei bought is for you to drive, but the road here in Western Australia is not very good out of the city, you can buy another one you like."

After the Spring Festival, the company will send finance to assist you, there should be three sets of exploration equipment shipped over after a month or so, then you only need to take the bill of lading to the port to pick up the goods, and let the truck driver transport to the three exploration locations we determined, you can activate the exploration equipment with the palm of your hand, wait for 24 hours with peace of mind, and then report the exploration results to me. Now scan your hand for me. ”

"I understand, thank you Mr. Jiang, I will definitely not delay the company's affairs. Hong Jianghuai said with some emotion, and at the same time handed his palm to Jiang Lang.

"There will be an instruction manual on the equipment, although it is all in English, but you should be able to understand it, if you don't understand, let Hao Lei help you, you will first look at the manual, it is very simple, but pay attention to safety, do not let people enter in the dangerous area, so as not to have accidents." Jiang Lang said, put on his glasses and glanced at Hong Jianghuai's palm, and the system assistant recorded his palm prints, Hong Jianghuai nodded and agreed.

Although it is not Yin Shangjie left, Hong Jianghuai is not bad, at least his own people, although he has no experience in coal mine work, but at this time he bravely took on this job, naturally he has more ideas, so what if Jiang Lang gives him a chance, if he can do it, Jiang Lang can be completely trusted even if he gives the manager of a branch.

"Zhou Xiao, leave 10 million Australian dollars for the Australian branch, and then give Hong Jianghuai 100,000 in cash, and the rest of the money will be stored in the Sydney branch first, and you can handle the rest of the office affairs yourself, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang. Hong Jianghuai promised that the office had been found, but it had not yet been renovated, and his task was to find a local decoration company to decorate it.

"You can buy a house with the company's money, just keep a record of what expenses you need, and all your personal expenses go to the company's account. If you are satisfied with your work, I can consider you to manage the Australian branch in the future. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I will try my best not to disappoint you. Although he is five years older than Jiang Lang, Hong Jianghuai knows that this is an opportunity to make himself successful, so he gave up the Spring Festival vacation and worked hard to win this opportunity.

After explaining the things in Australia, Jiang Lang gave the car keys to Hong Jianghuai, and after Jiang Lang and others flew back to China by plane, Hong Jianghuai suddenly felt that he was a little stupid, he didn't have an Australian driver's license, it seems that he still has to take a driver's license, otherwise this supercar and himself will have to say goodbye.

Hong Jianghuai is the only one in the family, Quandu, has a girlfriend but is not married, last year to find relatives and friends to make a full amount, bought a house in Rongsheng Garden, the year-end bonus let him pay off the loan at once, and became rich nearly 50,000, so that he suddenly saw how huge the prospects for the company's development are.

There are many new companies that have been opened or merged into the company, and as long as they have the ability to express themselves, they can break out of their own world, and it is not impossible to enter the senior management in the future.

It doesn't matter, you can learn, and he has been working in Qi Neng for more than half a year, so naturally Qi Neng knows a lot, and the deployment of equipment is not difficult in his opinion, but the difficult thing is the various affairs after deployment, as well as the handling of relationships, etc.

Flying back to China, Jiang Lang let Peng Li land directly at Zhanjiang Airport, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, everyone went out of the airport to board the car sent by Zhanjiang Mine, and first went to the hotel to stay and rest for one night.

The next day, Jiang Lang went to Zhanjiang mine to take a look at the progress, the coal area has been built, the coal railway is also under construction, but the planned 20 extra-large oil tanks are still under construction, the workers of Guangdong Power Construction Group are making the final equipment adjustment, and there must be no problem with grid-connected power generation before the Spring Festival, which will provide sufficient guarantee for Guangdong's Spring Festival peak electricity supply.

I had a meeting with Niu Hongjun, Wang Caicheng, Wang Liangdong, and Xu Qidong, and asked them to provide arrangements for the Spring Festival.

There were a few people who basically couldn't have any problems with the Jianglang mine, and in the afternoon Jiang Lang and others took a plane back to Quandu.

Australia's resource depletion, once again caused a huge sensation in the world, the chain reaction gradually emerged, most countries in the world have been depleted to expand the scope of greater concern, the result is that the international resource prices continue to rise, Australia is the world's largest coal exporter, now this sudden depletion and production shutdown completely stopped the export not to mention, even the mined coal can not supply much of their own consumption, so it has become a coal importer, which has exacerbated the rise in coal prices.

The price of coking coal has risen to nearly 1,500 per ton, anthracite Longwa mine has risen to 1,450, and thermal coal has risen to 860, which has directly led to a sharp rise in power generation costs.

The price of crude oil stopped at 157 US dollars and no longer rose, which is already a completely high price against the sky, the majority of car owners said that they could not bear it at all, 92 gasoline even if the domestic regulation, the price released by the National Development and Reform Commission has been as high as 8.58 yuan, the state encourages automobile consumption at the same time, the introduction of a small displacement model purchase tax halving policy.

The most serious impact of the depletion of Australian resources is the doubling of the price of iron ore in the international market, Australia's iron ore is gone, China can only urgently negotiate with Brazil, and negotiate with it a relatively acceptable price, the port price of 192 US dollars per ton, so that countless steel companies vomit blood, reflecting the terminal is the sharp rise in steel prices.

But let Qidong Coal Group take the opportunity to make a fortune, Tangjia mine, Yining mine a large amount of pig iron, although there are only 10,000 tons on a mine every month, but after all, this is not iron ore, but the production of pig iron, can be put directly into the furnace for deep processing, Tangjia mine shipment price is 4600 per ton (tax bill), Yining mine is a little cheaper, but there are 4400 per ton, compared with a month ago the price increased by more than 30%.

While the national coal market is booming, it is also due to the rise in the price of raw materials such as steel and coal, which has led to all walks of life having to follow the rise in costs because of rising costs, and the pressure of inflation is increasing.

China is quite good, and the government's regulation is sufficient, but some neighboring countries are simply living in dire straits. South Korea imports more than 13 million tons of coal every month, RB is a record import of 15 million tons, coupled with a large number of imports from Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries, China's more than 4 billion tons of production capacity is not enough to supply, many Southeast Asian countries are directly to India imports, but Northeast Asia is mostly imported from China, Russia, Russia, the Russian Far East port of Vladivostok, every day there are a large number of coal ships waiting in line for loading, so that South Korea, Japan and other countries foreign exchange reserves flow into China, Russia, Printed in the pockets of various coal companies.

Although Qidong Energy's own coal is large, there is only anthracite coal on the Longwa mine, and it has been divided up by several major groups, and there is only one customer in foreign countries, SK, plus the supplement from the coal group, their supply has been very stable, and has not been affected by the price factor too much, the only thing is to pay more.

Now South Korea is so fortunate that in order to import more oil from Qidong Energy, hundreds of millions of tons of coal orders have also been signed, otherwise this sudden depletion of Australia will inevitably have a huge impact on South Korea's coal market.

Now the worst is Brunei, the country is small, although there is a certain amount of savings, but in the past, when the oil resources were intact, it relied entirely on oil to support, but since the oil dried up last autumn, Brunei's economy has plummeted, and other manufacturing, construction, finance, agriculture, forestry and fishery are not developed, and all industries except the oil and gas industry are not very good. Now they have been forced to cut down on the forest area and sell a piece of forest to Chinese timber merchants, allowing them to do some logging except for small trees to support the country's high welfare.

The economic chaos is not without benefits, there are many islands on the Nansha Islands, because of the depletion of oil and gas resources, and there are people who occupy these islands, and now even Vietnam has taken a fancy to the crude oil resources, and I don't know what people think about the army withdrew, and as a result, it was occupied by a nearby Chinese fishing boat that was operating, which is also something that makes people laugh and cry.

Returned to Quandu to deal with the company's affairs for a day, Jiang Lang flew to Yanjing, in addition to getting together with Qiao Xue, on the 20th and 21st, he participated in the energy meeting of the National Energy Administration of the National Development and Reform Commission, Jiang Lang won the honorary title of the 2010 annual energy industry figure, not only successfully founded Longwa Mine, Zhanjiang Mine two of the world's largest super-large integrated mines, but also successfully merged six coal enterprises, and updated the equipment, so that its production capacity quadrupled, fully guaranteed the stable supply of domestic and international coal.
