Chapter 364: Ore Harvesting (I)

Qingyuan County is a relatively rare coal mine in the whole Nanjiang Province important production area, although the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but in this area there is a concentration of the whole Nanjiang largest piece of proven coal resources, but and Anhui, Jin and other provinces of coal mine resources distribution is different, Nanjiang coal resources belong to the 'large concentration, small dispersion' type, the main resources are concentrated in this area, but the large coal mines are limited, scattered small mines are numerous.

Pingshan Coal Mine is such a small mine, with an annual output of less than 200,000 tons, which is still the number that only has been obtained by the big boss of Binhai City after the use of advanced equipment of the large state-owned mine.

In less than 10 years since private contracting was allowed, this small mine has created five or six millionaires and fed a large number of people in related industries, including miners, mine protection, transportation, and so on.

Especially after being contracted by the big bosses, the output increased, and more miners were hired, and almost half of the strong laborers in the nearby villages worked here to beg for food.

Speaking of which, the coal boss earns black money, the capitalists exploit the workers, and the mine also raises a group of wolf-like mine protection teams, which are not good people at first glance, but for the workers in the mine, the big boss has no deductions, and the salary is still higher than before, which is more than going to the big city to work and make money, which is a good livelihood.

But since the end of last year, there have been problems in the mine, initially because the big boss's funds suddenly broke off, and the mine stopped working for more than a month.

There was this incident a year ago, and even one-third of the salary was deducted, who can stand it for the New Year?

The workers in the mine are all nearby villagers, and they discussed in private, and collectively asked the boss for accounts, and went to block the door of the boss's house, so that we would not be allowed to celebrate the New Year, and the boss would not live.

But in the end, the matter came to naught.

There are two reasons, one is the deterrence of the mine protection team, compared with those small flat heads with dragons and tigers on their arms, dancing knives and guns, miners, after all, are still a group of honest farmers;

Second, the boss was not good to the big guys before, but he was not bad, who has not encountered difficulties in doing business?

After the New Year, the situation was really much better, the boss got a sum of money to re-invest, and the coal mine saw that it would be able to be put into production and mining again, and the wages would be paid back at that time.

Who knows, it didn't take long for news to come out suddenly, and the boss He Yunfei and He, who contracted the coal mine, were arrested by the police.

The people in the mine finally couldn't sit still, the boss's business turnover was not working, and there was still hope for a while, but the boss was arrested, if the money didn't get it quickly, it would be tantamount to a waste!

In the beginning, it was a group of people who went to the accountant to ask for money, but the accountant was just a worker, and the boss had no money, and there was no money in the account, so how could he have money to give?

There were also people who inquired about the boss's residence, so they went to the city and went directly to the door, but they didn't expect people to go to the empty house, and the house was sealed.

The wage bargaining activities intensified, and at first they could still speak well, but when they found that it was basically impossible to ask for money, the workers completely broke out, and they wanted to carry back the equipment, office supplies, and even mine carts in the factory to pay off the debts.

If it had been left in the past, the workers dared to make such trouble, the mine protection team would have gone up with a big iron stick to greet them, and the few leaders who had beaten down would have been honest, but the problem is that now the boss's life and death are uncertain, and several of the boss's right-hand men in the past are scattered and caught, and no one is in charge at all.

In fact, the mine protection team does not come to the mine much now, as soon as the boss catches it, the rest of the people, birds and beasts are scattered, each busy with their own work, and occasionally a person comes to the mine, and when they see the workers moving things, they all turn a blind eye.

A few months ago, the Pingshan mine, which was still thriving and making great achievements, collapsed day by day, and was emptied little by little.

"Come on, come on, work harder over there, pry it up and send it to the car!"

Today, too, a dozen miners in the mine rented a small truck and were going to take away a coal truck from the mine and sell it: this thing was made of iron, and even if it was sold for scrap iron, it could be sold for hundreds of dollars.

A group of miners were carrying their hands and feet, and on the side, a gangster of the mine protection team lit a cigarette and hugged his arms, watching a little helplessly.

At this moment, two small cars drove into the gate of the coal mine and stopped directly in the open space a few meters away from the workers, the door opened, and a woman wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses stepped down.

Immediately after, six or seven small flatheads followed and got out of the car, looking at the group of workers with unkind faces.

Everyone paused, and when the guy from the mine guard team saw a man at the head, he quickly stood up and trotted over, and shouted with a smile: "Yo, Brother Peng, why are you here!"

"Why am I here? I still have to ask you, what's going on?!" Ren Peng didn't take the cigarette he handed over, glared, and then said: "This is sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, this is Li Liang, his own person in the mine." ”

Li Liang of the mine protection team stared at the woman in the black wallet in surprise for a few seconds, and then recognized that it was the wife of the boss He Yunfei, surnamed Ding, who had met for the Chinese New Year a long time ago, but at that time, the other party was dressed like a noblewoman, and today's neat style is like two people.

"Hello sister-in-law!" Li Liang brushed and stood up straight.

"What's going on?" Ding Jingjing took off his sunglasses, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked unhappily.

Without waiting for Li Liang to answer, an older worker who took the lead shouted: "You are the boss lady, right? You are here just in time, you owe money to pay back, hurry up and pay back!"

"Yes, it's good, pay it back!"

"Obediently, you don't pay us back, and you still drive a car!"

"If you don't pay back, your car will be detained!"

Before anything, the situation suddenly became tense, the workers saw the two cars, immediately gave up the worthless mine cart, and surrounded them, Ren Peng brought a few people turned around, took out the steel pipe machete from the trunk and back seat of the car, and the two sides confronted each other.

"You don't pay back the money you owe, and you still want to beat people?" is not what it used to be, and the workers also knew that the boss had fallen down, and they became bolder, and one by one they picked up shovels and shovels and so on to meet them.

", how many peasants still dare to do it?!It's reasonable to steal things, right?!" Ren Peng waved an iron rod more than one meter long and blocked in front of Ding Jingjing: "Get them!"

"Don't do it!" Ding Jingjing took a step forward, but walked in the front, his eyes swept around the opposite side, and asked: "Which of you can call the shots, come to the office with me, and I will talk to you about the wages owed to you." ”

With that, he put on his sunglasses again and walked straight to the mine office.

A group of workers who were originally blocking in front subconsciously got out of the way.

Speaking of conscience, the workers were also reluctant to fight, and when they saw the other party take out a machete or something, their hearts were still a little weak, and when they saw that the other party was willing to give money, they discussed with each other, and did not elect any representatives, and followed up with the office.

……

Pingshan Coal Mine is one of many small mines, and Qingyuan Coal Mine, named after Qingyuan County, is one of the largest mines in the entire Qingyuan County and even the entire Nanjiang Province.

Qingyuan Mine, just a year ago was a large state-owned mine, which existed in the 70s and was the vanguard of the coal mining industry in Nam Giang Province. The leader of the general first-line large mine, the place where the mine was built, has been strongly supported by the provincial and municipal finances, the imported machinery of Qingyishui, the mining area has the city's first batch of welfare housing, the annual sales index to the mine is sufficient, Qingyuan Mine can complete the target as long as it is easy to do seven months all year round, the rest of the days, from top to bottom there is nothing to do, the factory director and leaders meet all day long to travel and study and discuss, and the workers will take their wages and go home on vacation, and the days go by quickly.

People have pursuits, they want to be better when they are good, and they want to be more comfortable when they are comfortable, so when He Yunfei appeared and proposed to sell coal to the mine at a price lower than the Qingyuan mine's own mining, the mine leaders agreed without hesitation.

In this way, there is no need to work for even seven months a year, and the whole mine is on vacation, buying coal with the funds issued by the state in one hand, and selling the coal at a high price with the indicators given by the state on the other hand.

Last year, in line with the tide of national enterprise reform, the coal mine in Qingyuan County, like many state-owned enterprises, was finally pushed to marketization.

There is no state appropriation, no indicators, and the leaders at all levels of the Qingyuan Mine, who have basically lost their 'ability to work', simply contracted the entire mine to He Yunfei, so that they don't have to worry about it at all, and their good life has gone to a higher level.

The problem is that there is no good day in the world that will always be stable, and in less than half a year, He Yunfei was arrested.

Unlike the peasants and miners of the Pingshan Mine, the leaders of the Qingyuan Mine still have some connections, and soon the news was confirmed: He Yunfei was sentenced to death.

Therefore, at today's meeting, these mine leaders, who have not worked properly for a long time, gathered together to discuss, take back the Qingyuan Coal Mine, and reorganize its operation.

"If you want me to say, what are we running, it's better to find someone to contract out as before!"

"The mine manager is right! Our coal mine needs equipment and equipment, workers and workers, and reserves, and we are not afraid that we will not find someone to take over!"

"I'm in favor! But you can't have less money than before!"

"Now the price of this price is too scary, not only can it not be less, but it must be more!"

The office was full of smoke, and the leaders of Qingyuan Mine seemed to have forgotten a legal issue: the contract agreement signed by He Yunfei and them was five years, and so far, only one year has passed, and He Yunfei gave a five-year contract fee for the original coal mine.

The people present seem to have forgotten about this agreement and this money.

Just as the final vote was taken, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Ding Jingjing appeared outside the door wearing sunglasses, a black coat, and high boots in the wind.
