Chapter 44: Current Situation of Coal Mines

After some pleasantries, everyone began to sit down to drink tea and chat, and Li Zhong probably talked about his idea of contracting a coal mine or a pit. At first, I didn't mention the Internet to him, and it is estimated that there are not many computers here, and some of them are only available in Internet cafes, government units, and schools.

In their eyes, the computer is a luxury machine that is both tall and expensive. But seeing that their home had a network cable access, Li Zhong took a closer look, and it was indeed a network cable and not a telephone line. It seems that this nouveau riche must have installed a computer at home, and I will have a chance to talk to him about this later.

Mr. Deng was still very surprised, how could such a young posterior have such an idea. Coal business has been very difficult in recent years, with high mining costs and sluggish prices. The point is that the price of this coal has not risen in recent years, and the risk is high and the return is small. That's why I didn't continue to do it without myself.

Transportation is also a big problem, in the past, coal was basically transported by train, and only short-distance transportation was carried by truck. In recent years, with the market-oriented reform of various industries, after the economy has prospered, there have been more chemical plants, and various factories have appeared.

The industry involved in transportation has a great demand for train wagons, so the wagons have been particularly tight in the past two years, and the cost of automobile transportation is high. How can it be that simply opening a coal mine is considered a success, this is just the beginning.

Li Zhong took into account these possible difficulties, but listening to what Mr. Deng said, it was not as simple as he thought, there are many coal-derived industries, which are very complicated, and it is indeed not a simple coal mine.

Moreover, in the past two years, the government's attention to coal safety production has also increased year by year, and some small coal kiln owners have transferred out of this industry because of this.

Li Zhong pondered for a while, what Mr. Deng thought was: tell him about the hardships of this industry, and it is estimated that he will retreat from the difficulties and withdraw from this smoky industry, which is indeed too dark, especially in this period.

Although many small accidents in coal kilns have not been reported now, it is because the cover below is better, if there is a large safety accident, it is really not a joke, it will involve a lot of officials, and the boss will also go to jail if he is not good.

Mr. Deng also had a safety accident in his own coal mine before, but the outside did not know the inside story at all, although the accident was not very big, but two miners died, and two were disabled for life. These four miners are all outsiders, but fortunately, they handled it more properly. It took more than 400,000 yuan to pacify the families of these people.

This incident has not been reported, and these family members are relatively real people. But after so many years, I am still scared when I think about such a situation.

Now there are about dozens of pits in a state of stagnation, and the bosses in front of them do make a lot of money, and everyone is ready to wash their hands in a golden basin, wash the black on their hands, and prepare to do some other industries, which can be regarded as bleaching.

In the past, before Li Zhong crossed over, when he was in college, he was particularly interested in computers in school, often subscribed to some computer magazines, and knew many well-known hackers.

Now in this scenario, everyone wants to get rid of it, it is estimated that no one dares to take over, the price of coal is so low, labor costs have been increasing, and the state is also very tight, so it is too late for everyone to hide now. This young man actually said that he wanted to take the initiative to contract one, this is indeed very rare, it is estimated that this child does not know the inside story.

Mr. Deng talked for a long time, seeing that Li Zhong still did not mean to retreat in the face of difficulties, Mr. Deng said more tactfully: "I have explained the specific situation to you very clearly, but whether you want to continue to insist or not, it depends on you." ”

"It's definitely going to be done, but it's the first time I'm doing this industry, and I still don't know much about many places, so I still have to ask more seniors like you, and I'll find a way to do it as soon as possible in terms of funds, and if the follow-up capital needs are great, I'll find a way to solve it myself." ”

"Okay, young man, it seems that you are determined to do this, I basically told you all the risks involved, my friendship with your third uncle, I will definitely try to help you if I can help later." Boss Deng still agreed to the later operations.

In fact, if Mr. Deng asks everyone to call the boss, he is still called Mr. Deng, and at this point, you can feel that the old colleague Deng is a person who is fashionable and can quickly accept new things, because in the past two years, he has just begun to call the general manager, and everyone used to think that calling the boss was a very awesome thing.

"Mr. Deng, do you have a computer installed at home?" Li Zhong asked knowingly.

"Let you laugh, when the girl in the family went to college last year, she studied computers, and she had to buy a computer, and now she goes to school, and this machine can't access the Internet now, and I don't know how to get it, and I haven't found the right person to find someone, so I just kept it like this, and waited for the girl to come back. Alas, see the smile, see the smile!"

Mr. Deng said with a smile, it seems that there are some elements of showing off, and there are some elements that feel embarrassing, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to buy something and put it at home.

Li Zhong said: "I also know a little about this thing, I used to make it often, if you don't mind, I'll show you." ”
