Chapter 42: Overview of Coal Mines

After returning home, I carefully analyzed the general distribution of the current coal resources, and felt that it was better to open coal mines here in LF, where there are now small coal kilns everywhere, and the management is not strict, and the coal resources are quite developed. The survey reserve is ranked high not only in the SX rankings, but also in the world. These are all when eating, listening to what Director Jia said, the specific situation has to be more detailed in Baidu, and there is also a field trip to find a suitable coal kiln to cooperate.

The approximate result of Baidu down is that all of them are tested, but the information is not complete. Coal resources are the leading mineral resources in LF City, which occupies an important position in the province, with three major coalfields: Hedong, Huoxi and Qinshui. The city's coal-bearing area is 15,400 square kilometers, accounting for 56% of the city's total area, distributed in 12 counties and cities. The total reserves amounted to 62.9 billion tons, and the proven reserves were 39.8 billion tons.

The coal resources of LF City have the following characteristics: (1) The coal types are complete and there are many associated minerals. There are 6 kinds of coal in the city, including lean coal, lean coal, anthracite, coking coal, fertile coal, and gas coal, among which coking coal, gas coal, fertile coal and lean coal are coking coal, and the main associated ores are oil shale, bauxite, refractory clay, manganese iron ore, etc. There is also a large amount of weathered coal. (2) The coal quality is good, the content of ash and sulfur is moderate, the degree of metamorphism is high, the calorific value is large, the medium is optional, and the coking performance is good. (3) Superior development conditions. In addition to the complex geological structure of the Huozhou coalfield, the geological structure and hydrogeological conditions of the three major coalfields in LF City are relatively simple, with many coal seams, single layer thickness, stable coal seams, small dip angle, shallow burial, convenient transportation and good development conditions.

Now that the general situation is basically understood, the next step is how to operate.

Just after the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to LF with my cousin, who was ten years older than me, and told my family to go to see the third uncle who was working and living here. More than half of this area is covered with coal seams, which is a gift from God to the people of this land, and they can be regarded as getting a piece of the pie. Help them mine.

Came to the third uncle's house, the third uncle and the third aunt's family were very enthusiastic, Li Zhong quietly called the third uncle to the side alone, and consulted the situation here, Li Zhong's third uncle happened to be working in a coal mine on their side, the third uncle did not have a high education, high school was read, and when the first batch of college entrance examinations began, he was already a big boss and had missed his age. There are many children in his parents' generation, and they can't afford him to continue to repeat the university entrance examination, so he finally became a worker because he had no choice.

The third uncle began to find a job in a state-owned fertilizer factory in their county, because he had studied high school, had many hearts and eyes, and had outstanding work achievements. Later, he was promoted to LF and worked as the head of the safety section in a factory. But the good times didn't last long, and after a few years of working here, the factory caught up with the wave of state-owned enterprise reform, and the enterprise closed down with poor efficiency. I had no choice but to come out to find a job by myself, and now I am a safety technician in this coal mine, and my salary is average, barely enough to support my family. Thinking about it, the third uncle of Jue is really miserable, the young cadres back then, the pride of the family, and now it has reached this point, it's a pity.

Li Zhong didn't know how to talk to the third uncle about this matter, and if he directly said that he wanted to open a coal mine, the third uncle probably wouldn't agree, because the third uncle knew the risk of opening a coal mine here, if there was a safety accident and there were casualties, then not to mention that the investment was lost, the legal person of the coal mine would be imprisoned, and the third uncle was engaged in safe production, and he attached great importance to this.

But I have made up my mind that I must first try a small coal kiln, I have prepared all my money, I have spent so much thought, I have prepared so much, I am ready to produce coal to meet the soaring price of coal in two years, and now I am here for a purpose, to find a way to make money!

The 1 million I brought over is just enough for the start-up capital, and it's hard to say whether the coal can be produced. If it is a small coal kiln, after buying, it will be neat enough to produce coal, and you will have to wait for 8 months at the earliest.

After thinking so much, in the end, I just told the third uncle directly about his thoughts, the third uncle was just beginning to be particularly surprised, to buy a small coal kiln, how to get about 700,000 yuan, not to mention production, if the original conditions of production, the follow-up still needs a lot of funds, now the price of coal is so low, a few years to return to the cost is unknown, this is too risky.

The key is where to find so much money, 700,000, this is not a small amount, they are all ordinary families, and your relatives can't raise money for you.

The third uncle originally wanted Li Zhong to retreat knowing the difficulty, so he said that he wanted to buy a small coal kiln, which would require at least 1 million yuan, and the personnel and equipment were not counted, but he simply bought a coal mine pit, and if he wanted to update the equipment and raise personnel, he would need about 300,000 yuan to chase in. And now everyone is mining secretly, although the supervision is not strict, but if there is a safety accident, it must be closed down the coal mine, fined, suspended for rectification, and if it is not good, it will be entered into the number.

Li Zhong looked at the third uncle's face in his 40s, which looked quite old, and hesitated. Yes, if you really buy it, you will bring all the people in the family in, if there is really an accident, it will be a catastrophe, and the family will not be able to turn over for many years.
