At this time, Fan Heng was already in Guangxi. Listen to the work report of the leaders of the autonomous region on the Nandan mining disaster.

The situation here in Guangxi is very complicated, and since the execution of the Guangxi corrupt Cheng Kejie last year, the central authorities feel that it should be able to play a deterrent role, but they did not expect that such a big case has happened now, which is frightening.

In the early morning of 17 July, a particularly large flooding accident occurred at the Lajiapo Mine, which belongs to the Danlongquan Mining Plant in southwest Guangxi, and a large amount of water poured into the seven adjacent mines and the 81 miners who were mining on the working face in an instant.

The surviving miner recalled, "I was unloading the bucket at the sixth level, and at half past three, suddenly I heard an explosion, and when I looked up, it was all water, and the water came up all at once, and the wattage of the light bulb was so large that it exploded when it touched the water, and after it exploded, it was all dark underneath." ”

After the accident at the Lajiapo mine, the mine manager immediately informed the mine owner of the news. The owner of the mine in Lajiapo is the general manager of Nandan Longquan Mining General Plant, with a personal wealth of hundreds of millions of yuan, known as the richest man in Guangxi.

How many people died, it was not clear at the time. Because I don't know how many people went to the workplace, but it is certain that there are many dead people.

According to the normal procedures for safe production, after basically ascertaining the situation, the accident should be reported to the government immediately, so the mine owner reported to the county at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day and called the deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge.

After meeting with the deputy secretary that night, the mine owner asked if he wanted to report the matter, and the deputy secretary asked the mine owner, are you sure to do your internal affairs?

The so-called internal affairs are the internal placement of the deceased family members and internal secrecy.

The mine owner said that he could do his best to do the internal work, but he had no way to do the external and upper work.

The deputy secretary and the deputy county magistrate, who was also present, briefly discussed and decided to call the secretary of the county party committee immediately.

The secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate immediately learned of the incident, and on the night of the flooding accident at the Lajiapo mine, all four principal leaders of Nandan County learned of the facts of the accident.

The first feeling of the secretary of the county party committee at that time was that he should immediately report to his superiors and immediately go to the scene to organize rescue.

But after thinking about it carefully, this time the matter was too big, and once it was reported, it was easy to go wrong, so they called the owners of the other six permeable mines overnight and told them not to leak the news of the accident and to do a good job of confidentiality.

The next day, the main leaders of the county held a simple meeting, and after some discussion. They decided to keep it under wrapping.

At that time, everyone said a word, and I said a word, and the most important thing to consider was the issue of their own punishment. Once the accident is reported and made public in society, the punishment of the principal leaders of the county party committee and county government is inevitable, and this also involves the interests of the county and the localities.

In the end, after the discussion, everyone's opinion was very unanimous and decided to hide the accident and not report it.

On the evening of the third day of the flooding accident, the mine owner held a meeting of all the workers of the Lajiapo mine, strictly ordered the miners not to tell the truth about the accident, secretly ordered the mine manager to dismantle the pumping equipment, clean up the accident site, and asked the company's finance to pay cash to the families of the dead miners.

The first sum of money is more than two million, and the sum of the front and back is about eight million.

After careful arrangements and the help of the county to cover the lid, the mine owner believes that a major water penetration accident can disappear invisibly.

Under the careful cover of the county government and Li Dongming, the Nandan Dachang mining area appeared unusually calm, as if nothing had ever happened. But at this time, the corner of the shady curtain has been quietly revealed, and all kinds of speculation about the water penetration accident have begun to appear in the newspapers, and the news of a possible mining accident in Nandan has become hot news.

Finally five days later. Something has already come out on the Internet, NetEase, Sohu, and news on Dayang Network have come out, at this time Nandan and his team have already felt very frightened, and no one thought that this situation would happen.

The county immediately contacted the mine owner and asked him to closely control the mining area and trace the source of the leak.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Dachang mining area was suddenly tense, and a team of hundreds of mine guards patrolled the mine area day and night, and the miners were threatened not to have contact with the outside world. However, under this coercion, someone still risked the danger to call the reporter of Guangxi TV to report it, and at this time, eight days have passed since the mining accident.

After receiving the report, the Guangxi TV reporter quickly rushed to Nandan, and the media took pictures of the Lajiapo mine's permeable hole for the first time after the incident, and there were no personnel entering or leaving the hole, and there was no pumping equipment and rescue facilities.

Subsequently, the reporter found the mine manager of the Lajiapo mine to inquire about the matter, and the mine manager said that there was no such thing.

The managers interviewed were unanimous and said that there was no such thing, but the miners said that they had indeed died, and that they had been threatened and beaten.

So far, the news of a large number of casualties in the Nandan flooding accident has been preliminarily confirmed, and more and more media have participated in reporting at this time. After some of the circumstances of the Lajiapo mine were disclosed, it attracted the attention of the relevant departments at a higher level.

After various investigations, the regional party committee and government received the exact news of the mining accident in Nandan, and on the same day, the secretary of the regional party committee led the regional investigation team to Nandan and made inquiries to the county party committee and government.

As a result, when the leaders of Nandan County reported to the leaders of the autonomous region, they still said that there was no mining disaster.

The leader of the autonomous region said that it is not a question of whether there are dead or not, but how many people die.

The police immediately intervened in the matter. Some people in the mine couldn't hold it anymore and spit out the whole process, including how they did their internal work and how they concealed it in the county.

The news of the major casualties in the Nandan flooding accident was quickly reported to the Central Committee and the State Council, which attracted great attention.

On August 20, the mine was drained of water and a total of 78 bodies of victims were found, two bodies cremated by the mine owner last month, and one person was missing in the accident. So far, the cause of the flooding accident has been ascertained, and the truth about the large number of casualties caused by the mining accident has also been revealed.

One of the key points of concern in this matter is why some officials in Nandan County have spared no effort to conceal the mining accident. And the main leaders of Nandan County, where did they come from so boldly and dared to hide such a big accident for such a long time?

In the evening, when Fan Wuxian was on the phone with his father Fan Heng, he mentioned this matter.

Fan Heng said with some interest, "It's not the word profit, without the mine, Nandan County can't even afford to pay wages." ”

The so-called interests include both individual interests and the interests of small groups and departments.

The mine where the water permeability accident occurred will pay 120 million yuan in profits and taxes to the local treasury this year, followed by the Longquan Mining Group Company and the Nandan County Government in the name of Fuyuan Company. 15% of the shares. In this way, once the mine owner is unlucky, it means that the county government and county party committee are also unlucky.

Longquan Mining is mainly engaged in tin ore collection and processing industry, more than 10 years, the factory has developed into the largest township enterprise in Guangxi, with more than 400 million fixed assets, more than 5,000 employees, only last year paid 80 million profits and taxes, accounting for about one-third of Nandan County's financial revenue, known as the cornucopia of Nandan County.

"The Nandan tin mine is probably the best tin mine in the world, with a tin content of more than 40 percent. The international tin price is now nearly $4,000 per tonne. A ton of ore dug out is more than 30,000 yuan. "In 1998, the world's tin mining volume was about 250,000 tons, and the tin mining volume in Nandan County reached more than 30,000 tons that year, accounting for one-eighth of the world's total. The tin ore output in Nandan County has directly affected the world's tin prices, and the mining industry has naturally become the pillar industry of Nandan County. About seventy percent of Nandan County's financial revenue depends on the mine, and if there is no mine, Nandan would be like other poor counties, and even cannot afford to pay wages. So it is necessary to rely on this mine to enrich this county. ”

In order to achieve the goal of enriching the county with mines, Nandan Fuyuan Mining Exploration and Mining Company was established, which is responsible for the development and management of Nandan's mining business, and the county magistrate served as the first chairman of Fuyuan Company.

Fuyuan Company obtained the prospecting qualification for tin ore bodies worth 12 billion yuan, and then changed hands and successively contracted the prospecting rights to six enterprises including Longquan Mining General Plant.

As soon as the agreement is signed and the project is implemented, there is no management, and you can only sit on the ground and collect money.

Due to a lack of management, prospecting quickly turned into a frenzy of poaching, which eventually led to a mining disaster. In Nandan, private mine owners, large and small, who want to enter the mine to open a mine, must first obtain permission from Fuyuan, and the most effective way is to bribe the county leaders.

Taking the secretary of the Nandan County Party Committee as an example, he had only been secretary for three years until the incident, and in three years, he was suspected of more than 4 million yuan in economic problems.

It is precisely for this reason that he cannot report the mining accident, because as soon as the report is released, someone will immediately come to investigate, and once the investigation is made, the money and power transactions between them and the mine boss behind the accident will be exposed.

"The intricacies of the Nandan accident are complicated by the fact that the mine owner of the accident violated the law, the relevant underworld forces disregarded the law, and the party and government officials perverted the law for bribes. Behind the trinity of business, gangsters, and officials, there is also a profound social background, with the connivance and support behind the long-term rational existence of illegal mine owners and the wanton and frenzied embezzlement of the country's mineral resources. Fan Heng said. In order to eradicate all kinds of corruption, gangsters, corruption, concealment, and fraud, it is necessary to summarize and reflect on the management and monitoring system, and then explore a way to mine in a scientific and orderly manner, effectively prevent and monitor accidents, and reasonably take into account national and local interests. ”

"It's a bit difficult, really, I think, it's hard—" Fan replied.

For the anti-corruption of minerals and the concealment of mining disasters, Fan Wuzhi really has no way at all, in the face of huge interests, there are always many moths to put out the fire, people die for money, birds die for food, no one can change this nature.

There are no pop-ups
