Chapter 703: Pouring bitter water

Fuqiang Coal Mine and Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine are in the same village, but at both ends of the village, Wang let go of the car, although the speed has not been up to 30, but it only took about ten minutes to arrive. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the way, Chu Weihong said more to Chen Qingdong about Guo Fuqiang: "Secretary Chen, Guo Fuqiang has a very upright personality, and he is not usually very good at interacting with people. When he was a secretary in Xiaoying Village, he once led the whole village to resist the task of planting tobacco arranged by the government, and it almost became a mass incident. He also resigned from his job as the village party secretary and went out to do business, which in addition to not only not wanting to do it himself, but also the town leaders didn't want him to do it. In the past few years, after Guo Fuqiang contracted the Fuqiang Coal Mine, the profits and taxes were also paid very neatly, but he hardly socialized with people, and he was simply a stuffy gourd. ”

Chen Qingdong asked curiously: "Didn't you just say that before Yang Anhua came to Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine to be the mine manager, Guo Fuqiang often bullied them?

Chu Weihong said with a smile: "Maybe I didn't make it clear just now, in fact, it was not Guo Fuqiang who bullied the Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, but Guo Fuqiang's younger brother Guo Fuli! This kid is a reckless man, he didn't study well since he was a child, and he fooled around in society. ”

Chen Qingdong was quite interested in these two brothers, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go and meet these two brothers!"

Similar to the situation of Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, the scene of Fuqiang Coal Mine is much more deserted, and the scale is much smaller, it is estimated that it is a quarter or fifth of the appearance of Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, and there are not a few coal trucks parked at the door, but looking at its construction facilities, it is a little better than the situation of Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, and the environment is also much better.

This time, Chen Qingdong did not go directly to the office to find Guo Fuqiang, but asked Chu Weihong to call Guo Fuqiang.

In less than five minutes, the mine boss Guo Fuqiang hurriedly walked over with two of his subordinates, stretched out his hands to Chen Qingdong from afar, and shouted, "Hello Secretary Chen!"

Guo Fuqiang's voice is very loud, and he looks like a very heroic soldier, which makes people feel that this person should be quite trustworthy at a glance.

Chen Qingdong shook hands with Guo Fuqiang and said with a smile: "Hello, Boss Guo." ”

Guo Fuqiang took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Qingdong, who turned out to be General Bai for five yuan a box.

In the past two years, the general brand cigarettes launched by Shandong General Tobacco Group have entered the national market with a strong momentum, especially in Shandong and Huaihai provinces, which are sold very well, because of the mellow taste and the price is not expensive, so there are many ordinary people who smoke this brand of cigarettes.

However, a coal boss like Guo Fuqiang, who is making money every day, also smokes this kind of cigarette, and even takes this kind of cigarette when he is a party secretary for himself, the party secretary, which seems to be a bit of a low grade.

In fact, almost all the people who do business now have good cigarettes in their hands, even if they don't smoke themselves, when they hand out cigarettes to others, the cigarettes they take out can't be too low-grade, after all, most of the people they interact with are very status.

Just like when they went to Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine just now, the cigarette Yang Anhua handed them was Su Yan, although it is not a top-level cigarette, but it can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end cigarette, and it is quite suitable for Yang Anhua's identity.

In fact, of course, Chen Qingdong doesn't care about the quality of a cigarette, he just reflects Guo Fuqiang's character from this point. Chu Weihong said that Guo Fuqiang is not good at socializing, which seems to be true at all.

Chen Qingdong also thought that during this time, he received almost all the phone calls from the owners of enterprises in Chenqiao Town to congratulate him or want to invite him to dinner, and most of them, Chen Qingdong did not remember his name. However, he really didn't remember that this Guo Fuqiang had called him like this. However, Guo Fuqiang's younger brother Guo Fuli called him twice and wanted to invite him to dinner, but he politely refused.

In addition, Chen Qingdong took a look at Guo Fuqiang, a man who was nearly half a hundred years old, with a dark face, a thin body, and a pair of big eyes, but he didn't look very old, and he looked similar to an ordinary person in his forties. He wore a half-worn black suit, his waist was straight, and he looked like a former soldier.

Perhaps, Guo Fuqiang's character was also cultivated in the army.

After Chen Qingdong took Guo Fuqiang's cigarette, Guo Fuqiang knew that he took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Chen Qingdong, and then said enthusiastically: "Secretary Chen, you are welcome to come to our coal mine to inspect the work!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "It's not an inspection today, it's just a casual look." ”

Guo Fuqiang smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, do you want to go inside?"

Chen Qingdong looked at the coal mine in front of him and said, "Okay, let's go in and have a look." ”

Chu Weihong said with some worry: "Lao Guo, is there no problem with the safety of your coal mine?"

Guo Fuqiang said angrily: "You, Director Chu, really can't speak, when has there ever been a safety accident in my coal mine? The strictest requirement I usually have is to strictly abide by the safety production norms, even if it is to reduce production, I must not joke about safety! Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with the safety of our coal mines!"

Chu Weihong said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Guo, I believe you in this! In the past two years, you have indeed not had any serious safety accidents here, which is very rare in coal mining enterprises!"

Guo Fuqiang is quite proud of this, and said: "Life safety is more important than Mount Tai, I wrote these words into a plaque, hung in front of the desk, and I can see it every day when I look up, I am definitely not sloppy about this problem!"

After saying this, Guo Fuqiang arranged for one of his men to come over with a few clean hard hats.

Chen Qingdong After putting on their hard hats, they walked to the mining area under the leadership of Guo Fuqiang.

After entering the mining area, Chen Qingdong has a more intuitive feeling, coupled with Guo Fuqiang's introduction on the side, Chen Qingdong thinks that this coal mine is really good, the equipment is advanced, and the maintenance is very good, everyone's work is also in order, and the environment can be done, but the scale is much smaller, and the business is indeed a little deserted.

Chen Qingdong asked: "Boss Guo, I just came from the Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, and judging from the business situation, their business is much better than yours! It is said that the current coal market is very good, and your business here should be very prosperous!"

Hearing this, Guo Fuqiang said with some excitement: "Secretary Chen, as soon as I talk about this, I am angry! Compared with the Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, our coal mine can be regarded as suffering a big loss!"

"Why do you say that?" asked Chen Qingdong curiously.

"Alas!" Guo Fuqiang sighed and said eloquently, "Secretary Chen, we have to start from the beginning! When I contracted this coal mine, I looked at the materials and said that the planned annual output of this coal mine could reach up to 20,000 tons! I think this figure is still okay, and besides, the contract fee at that time was 200,000 yuan a year, which was not too expensive, so I contracted this coal mine. ”

"But after the contract was signed, I found someone to explore the site again, and I realized that I had suffered a big loss. The planned annual output of this coal mine will not reach 20,000 tons at all! Because the mining of this coal mine is very difficult, even if it is equipped with the highest level of equipment, it can produce 10,000 tons a year. I have limited funds, so naturally I can't get such good equipment, with my current equipment, under the strict requirements of safe production, it would be good to be able to produce five or six thousand tons of coal a year!"

After speaking, Guo Fuqiang also emphatically said: "This is a chicken nest mine at all! Secretary Chen, in the three years since I contracted this coal mine, I have not made any money at all, but I have pasted almost all the money I made in the past few years! At the beginning, I thought that the contract fee of 200,000 yuan a year was quite cheap, but now it seems that this price is really not cheap at all! The price of coal mines is so good now, I don't even make money as a coal mine, but I still lose money, this is really a joke!"

Chen Qingdong was quite surprised by this situation, and he didn't know that there was such an episode here.

If it is really according to what Guo Fuqiang said, the annual output of this coal mine is only about 5,000 tons, then according to the current market price of 200 yuan per ton, 5,000 tons of coal can be sold for 1 million, but considering that he has to pay 200,000 yuan in contract fees every year, as well as other various operating costs, as well as various investments in the early stage, Guo Fuqiang may not lose money, but it is indeed not very profitable.

Chen Qingdong said: "Boss Guo, it is said that the difference in this number will not be so big, is it that you have not fully tapped the potential of this coal mine!"

Guo Fuqiang said depressedly: "Secretary Chen, I have actually given full play to the potential of this coal mine! However, the mining difficulty of this coal mine is indeed quite large, if you want to give full play to the potential, you need to invest a lot of money in high-end equipment, I really can't afford it!"

Guo Fuqiang seemed to be afraid that Chen Qingdong would not believe his words, and pulled Chen Qingdong and said: "Secretary Chen, if you don't believe it, you can take a winch down to the mine to have a look, and you will know how deep our mine is drilling!"

Chen Qingdong hadn't expressed his position yet, and Chu Weihong, who was worried about Chen Qingdong's safety, said: "Lao Guo, forget about going down the mine, it's not safe down there after all." ”

Guo Fuqiang also felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Chen Qingdong go down to the mine, so he said in a loud voice: "Yes! Director Chu is right, Secretary Chen can't be allowed to go down the mine." Alas, I am really wronged in my heart, when I see Secretary Chen today, I can't help but pour bitter water!"

Chen Qingdong was amused by Guo Fuqiang's frank words, and said: "It is right to pour bitter water for me, and serving your enterprise is also one of my tasks! Boss Guo, I see that although your coal mine is not easy to mine, your management is really good, and it is much better than that of Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine. ”

Originally, Chen Qingdong just wanted to comfort him, but Guo Fuqiang continued to pour bitter water: "Alas, Secretary Chen, you don't know anything! My coal mine is not only difficult to mine, but also of average quality; although it is so close to Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, it cannot be compared with Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine in these two aspects! If I also mine a ton of coal, my cost will be ten yuan more expensive than the comprehensive cost of coal in Xiaoyingkou!" If I sell at the same price as Xiaoyingkou, I won't make any money, and if I want to raise the price, it will be even worse, the quality will not be as good as others', so no one will buy it!"

"Secretary Chen, I really feel bitter in my heart! In the past few years of contracting coal mines, I can only barely make ends meet, and I have not earned a single penny, but I have also put all my previous savings into it! If it weren't for the good coal market in the past few years and the rising prices, then I would definitely have to lose more!"

"Secretary Chen, my coal mine is in the same village as Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine, and it is only a dozen miles away, and the price of the contract is not much different, but people have made a lot of money, but I am pouring money into it!

Guo Fuqiang really hid too many grievances in his heart, and the bitter water was endless.
