The development of things did not meet Chen Guan's expectations, and after the four gold companies established by the Mingshui County Gold Bureau were hastily completed in May, they began to demarcate the scope of their respective mining areas in the Tonghua Town mining area, and prepared to organize forces to start production.

The fiery red pomegranate flowers gradually withered under the summer breeze, the green wheat fields gradually turned golden, and the four gold companies that pinned the hopes of the county party committee, the county government and the people of the county put on a grand scene at the beginning, each company proposed to build its own independent concentrator plant with a daily processing capacity of 1,000 tons of ore, and reported to the county gold bureau, the municipal gold bureau and the city and county development and Reform Commission.

The Mingshui County Gold Bureau itself has proposed a project to build a Mingshui gold smelter with a daily processing capacity of 200 tons of gold concentrate!

Four gold companies, four concentrators with a daily processing capacity of 1,000 tons of ore, and a smelter with a daily processing capacity of 200 tons of gold concentrate powder, this plan is indeed magnificent! Because of this, the Mingshui County Party Committee and the county government put forward a loud slogan: "Build a gold industry chain and build Tonghua Town into the first golden township in the Central Plains!" ”

Miao Kunsheng is still a little sensible, and he only dares to say that Tonghua Town will be built into the first golden township in the Central Plains, but he does not dare to say that Tonghua Town will be built into the first golden township in China, which is a bit of a spectrum.

After this slogan was proposed, Chen Guan once called Tao Haishan, secretary of the Party Committee of Tonghua Town, and asked him if he knew about the situation in the golden township in the Sangyuan mining area?

Tao Haishan replied that he only had a general understanding, and the details were not clear.

Chen Guan laughed at Tao Haishan sitting in the well and watching the sky, saying big words without fear of being flashed by the wind, obviously the mineral veins in the mining area of Tonghua Town are only the remnants of the Sangyuan mining area and the Linguan mining area, and they are not included in the national and provincial main mining area planning at all, and the reserves are very limited, how can you dare to brag so much?

Tao Haishan said that he did not know, the county has made it clear that the county gold bureau is responsible for organizing, planning and leading the production and development of the Tonghua town mining area, and the party committee and government of Tonghua town have no say in the development of the mine, and the only power is to provide services and support the work of the gold bureau. Otherwise

Chen Guan has nothing to say!

After the plans of the four gold companies were reported, it was reasonable for the county gold bureau to approve them, because the general managers of the four gold companies were concurrently served by the four directors of the county gold bureau.

There is no problem with the approval of the Mingshui County Development and Reform Commission, the report is clearly written, how many tons of gold ore are planned to be produced annually, how many tons of alchemy concentrate are selected annually, and how many profits and taxes are realized annually, which is exciting to look at, plus the four gold companies are county-run enterprises, and the assets will belong to the county in the future, so it is natural to approve.

But when it comes to the Shuiquan Gold Bureau and the Shuiquan Development and Reform Commission, it won't work, it's stuck!

The reason for the disapproval of the Shuiquan Development and Reform Commission is very simple, the Tonghua Town mining area already has a Jinyangshan Mining Co., Ltd.'s East Tonghua concentrator, the process and equipment are the most advanced, only need to expand it, improve the daily refining capacity, no need to repeat the construction! As for the construction of another gold smelter, it is even more unnecessary, the production capacity of the Shuiquan smelter is enough to meet the gold smelting needs of Shuiquan City!

There is one more reason for the Shuiquan Gold Bureau not to approve than the Shuiquan Development and Reform Commission, that is, the gold reserves in the Tonghua Town mining area are limited, and the large-scale accelerated mining can only accelerate the depletion of mining resources. Since the rectification of the mine has yielded fruitful results, there should be a planned mining. Not to mention the construction of four concentrators at the same time, it is redundant to build another one. Once the mine resources are exhausted and there is no ore left, won't the four concentrators all have to go bankrupt and go out of business? What about laid-off workers? What if you leave a debt?

Seeing that the Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the Municipal Gold Bureau did not approve it, Miao Kunsheng, secretary of the county party committee, personally went to the city to do work, repeatedly stated the reasons to the leaders of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the Municipal Gold Bureau, and asked for approval.

Miao Kunsheng is not talking nonsense, he has information on the annual amount of ore mined in the original 50 private mines in Tonghua Town. Even if 50 mines produce 80 tons of ore per day, the daily production of ore is 4,000 tons, and it is completely appropriate to build four concentrators with a daily processing capacity of 1,000 tons of gold ore. What's more, after the four gold companies are put into production, the equipment is more advanced, the technology is more advanced, and the output should be greater!

As for the problem that Tonghua Town already has a Dongtonghua concentrator of Jinyangshan Mining Co., Ltd., Miao Kunsheng explained very clearly, one is that the Dongtonghua concentrator is only a medium-sized concentrator with a daily processing capacity of 500 tons of gold ore, and the production capacity is too small to meet the needs of the Tonghua Town mining area. Another problem, which is also the core problem, is that the four gold companies in the Tonghua Town mining area are all county-run local state-owned gold companies. The Dongtonghua concentrator belongs to the private partnership Jinyangshan Mining Co., Ltd., how can the state-owned mine send the ore to the private concentrator for refining? Isn't that taking state-owned mineral resources to make private people rich? As a result, the four local state-owned gold companies under the Mingshui County Gold Bureau had to build their own concentrators.

On the issue of building the Mingshui gold smelter, Miao Kunsheng reasoned that the Tonghua mining area was too far away from the water spring, and the freight was too high, which increased the cost of gold production. If the Mingshui gold smelter is completed and put into operation, it can form a one-stop operation from ore mining to smelting and smelting, and reduce costs. Moreover, whether it is the Mingshui Gold Smelter or the Shuiquan Smelter, they are all state-owned enterprises, and the gold produced is all sold to the People's Bank of China!

The secretary of the county party committee personally went out, of course, it was effective, and the Shuiquan City Gold Bureau and the Development and Reform Commission respectively made reports to the mayor in charge.

In the end, the matter was reported to Yu Yan, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Fu Xinheng, acting mayor.

Mayor Fu said that after listening to Miao Kunsheng's report, he signed a consent and asked Miao Kunsheng to report to Secretary Yu Yan.

This matter belongs to the work within the scope of the mayor's responsibility, and it stands to reason that Mayor Fu Xinheng will approve it after approval, and there is no need for municipal financial investment, so there is no need to report to Secretary Yu Yan. However, Mayor Fu Xinheng took office after the two sessions of Shuiquan this year, and missed the election of the National People's Congress, so he can only wait for the election of the National People's Congress next year, otherwise, the word "generation" in front of the mayor cannot be removed. Therefore, Mayor Fu Xinheng has a lot of respect for Secretary Yan, even if it is a work within his scope of responsibility, as long as he thinks it is more important, he will ask to report to Secretary Yu!

If Mayor Fu Xinheng regarded himself as the mayor now and acted arbitrarily, there would be sequelae!

Where would Miao Kunsheng want to report to Secretary Yu Yan, but he has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he can see through Mayor Fu Xinheng's difficulties at a glance, so he has to go to Secretary Yu Yan to report.

After listening to Miao Kunsheng's report and reading the materials brought by Miao Kunsheng, Yu Yan understood why the expansion project of Dongtonghua Concentrator was delayed.

Exactly like Miao Kunsheng thought, Secretary Yu Yan criticized Miao Kunsheng, saying that as the secretary of the county party committee, he was rigid and conservative in his thinking, and he still demarcated private enterprises and local state-owned enterprises so clearly in his mind. Is it true that the taxes paid by local state-owned enterprises are money, and the taxes paid by private enterprises are not money? If the Dongtonghua concentrator plant is not used, why should it be repeatedly invested and constructed?

Of course, Miao Kunsheng would not say that his fundamental purpose was to cut off Chen Guan's financial resources and remove obstacles to suppressing Chen Guan, but repeatedly stated his reasons, saying that this was not his decision alone, but a decision formed after repeated discussions by the Mingshui County Party Committee and the county government in order to revitalize the Mingshui economy! As long as the four gold companies are in normal production, the four concentrators and the Mingshui gold smelter are completed, the revenue of Mingshui will double again on the basis of last year!

Yu Yan disagreed with Miao Kunsheng's statement, criticizing him for being hot-headed, making decisions without going through his brain, and launching four concentrators and a gold smelter at once, where did the funds come from for such a big investment? Moreover, the reserves of the Tonghua Town mine are certain, non-renewable, and full mining can achieve results in the short term, but what should I do when the gold mine is finished? Isn't it a pile of baggage in the end?

Miao Kunsheng did have his own ideas, and he reported that funds were not a problem, and a bank loan could solve it. As for the limited reserves of Tonghua Town, Miao Kunsheng said that although the Tonghua Town Mining Area does not belong to the main mining area of Sangyuan and Linguan, it is definitely the residual vein of the main mining area, and the reserves are still considerable. Even if all the existing mines are dug in the future, deep prospecting can be carried out. Taking a step back, even if the mine resources are exhausted, relying on four concentrators and one Mingshui gold smelter, a large-scale gold production capacity will be formed, and the ore from the Sangyuan and Linguan mining areas can be eaten at that time, and the operation can continue.

Another reason expounded by Miao Kunsheng is that gold production will not leave a burden, because the production of gold is hard currency, and there is no problem of zài sales, and the benefits are naturally very good. Moreover, the four gold companies only recruit management personnel, and the specific mining work is handed over to the private construction team to complete, so even if the resources are exhausted in the future, the county will not have the task of placing laid-off workers, and there is no problem of personnel burden.

Miao Kunsheng also elaborated on a reason, that is about the Mingshui Gold Smelter, he said that the Shuiquan Gold Smelter is indeed advanced equipment, advanced technology, and large production capacity, but it is a subordinate enterprise, and it has made money, except for paying taxes, it has been taken away by the central government. Moreover, the employees of the Shuiquan Gold Smelter were all transferred from the old gold enterprises in Northeast China and Shandong by the China National Gold Corporation, and did not contribute to the local employment of Shuiquan. Mingshui gold smelter is different, that is Mingshui's own enterprise, in addition to paying taxes to the county, assets belong to the county, and employment can also be arranged.

Miao Kunsheng's report was dry and full of expectations, but unfortunately Secretary Yu Yan was very pragmatic and would not have a hot brain, and he approved it on the report: "Mayor Fu: This matter should be investigated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Gold Bureau to find out the real reserves of the Tonghua Town mine, and then decide whether to launch the four concentrators and the Mingshui gold smelter project according to the actual situation!" ”

This instruction is equivalent to beating Miao Kunsheng with a stick!
