Chapter 751: Smelting Black Sand
"10 days."
Bai Rong said: "I don't believe it. β
Wuyang said, "It's true. Picking wool in the jade mines of Myanmar, you can't even see a decent woman, let alone go to a woman to sleep. β
He Qin asked, "What are the physiological reactions?" β
Wuyang smiled: "In addition to setting up a tent all night, I also got on fire, and my gums were swollen." β
Bai Rong said: "Wuyang, I know you are lying, Sister Xiaoya told me, you choose wool, you don't sleep for a few days and nights, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar is to choose wool, I believe this version is true." β
"It's all true, it was what Xiaoya said a few days ago, and that's what I said a few days later."
"Wuyang, since the sisters all need you, I won't go to see Keju later, I'll let my parents go back by themselves, and we'll take you to the airport." Min Ying said.
Wuyang was too busy to win, so he could only snort with his nose.
When I got out of the airport, I saw that it was Xiao Qimei's cousin Brother Xiao who came to pick up the plane, "Brother Xiao, thank you for your hard work." β
"It's okay, it's my job. Boss, please come with me. β
Brother Xiao is not only related, but has also served at home for many years, he has always been driving, and his family can't do without such a person, so there is no way to arrange a chance to make a fortune.
After the car drove out of the airport, Wuyang said: "Brother Xiao, you have been at home for so many years, I don't take enough care of you, I'm sorry." β
Brother Xiao smiled and said, "Boss, I'm sorry if you don't save it." I haven't done anything over the years, but the company set me an annual salary of 600,000 yuan. Give me a big red envelope. Quite a bit. The seventh sister also bought me 6 faΓ§ade houses. Coupled with the shop I bought myself, the annual rental income is also more than 1 million, which can be regarded as a small rich. β
"No, I'm still going to give you a position that makes a lot of money."
Brother Xiao said: "Boss, don't bother you. I don't have much skills other than driving, and I can't do anything you ask me to do. Today, the proprietress also said that your identity is different now, so you should pay attention to the impact. If I want to use a car after work, I have to drive it. β
"It's okay, I'll arrange a nearby job for you, and when you need to drive, just ask you to come over." Do you know that I opened a gold mine in Yihe, where Yue Hong and Jiang Yu are now in charge, and they like to play mahjong so much, but they basically don't care. After you go, the main thing is to strengthen the management of the smelted products. β
Brother Xiao said: "Boss, I really don't understand anything. Let's find someone else. β
Wuyang smiled: "Brother Xiao, are you stupid?" I don't want to give you a chance to get rich. Actually, this thing is not difficult at all. People from the smelter. The bonus is calculated according to the amount of metal produced, and they must register the products they produce, and there are instruments to check when they go out, and it is impossible to carry them privately. The finished product warehouse is also registered after the person is transported out of the workshop and brought into the warehouse, and your task is to check whether the quantity received matches the quantity in stock. The finished products are all in pieces, you just need to count the number of blocks, you don't need to weigh them, you count them once every 3 or 5 days, or arrange for your sister-in-law to count them there, it's not difficult, right? β
"Of course, it's not difficult to do such a thing, I can try it."
"Okay, Brother Xiao, then I'll take you there tomorrow. According to the output of the smelter, you will be given a dividend ratio, which is not very high, 0.1% or 0.2%, you should not be too little. β
Brother Xiao said: "Boss, how much do you estimate the daily output?" β
"That's right, after inspection, the gold content of black sand is 3 grams per ton, and we have installed 60 sets of smelting furnaces there, which can smelt 144,000 tons of black sand per day, which can produce about 430 kilograms of gold, with an output value of 129 million. There are other metals in the black sand, mainly iron, the content is about 13%, the daily output is about 18,720 tons, the output value is 11.2 million, and there are some other metals. However, we divide the pig iron produced with others, and only a quarter of it is ours. β
"Boss, your daily output value of 140.2 million, even if you give me 0.1%, there will be more than 140,000 per day, and this year, it will be worth it. I'm just doing such a thing, aren't you giving me money for nothing? I still don't want it. β
Wuyang said: "Brother Xiao, if we neglect management and lose a gold ingot, it will be 5 kilograms, and it will be 15 million." You also know that as long as there is a loophole and you don't have your own people to manage it, the hole will get bigger and bigger. People don't often say that the eyes of the needle are big and the wind is big, then what I lose is not something that you can compare. β
"Thank you boss for your trust, I'll take over this matter."
Wuyang smiled and said, "That's right." Brother Xiao, if there is anything wrong with the smelter, you have to tell me in time. You know my phone number, right? β
"Yes. Boss, your phone is always turned off. β
Wuyang took out the mobile phone and looked at it, sure enough, it was turned off, it was out of power, and he quickly changed the battery board. This mobile phone is produced by Yu Huijuan's factory, and it can be used for a week according to Wuyang's usual phone, after all, he is the deputy secretary, and there are not many people who call him.
Changed the electric board, after turning on, immediately sounded the "Di Di Di" information prompt, and when the ring is finished, there are more than 50 calls or text message prompts, open and see, except for a few are wives, are cronies and subordinates and old leaders called. One by one, the call was over, and I arrived home.
Early the next morning, Brother Xiao drove off, and Chen Shaonan went directly to Chenjiazhou by himself. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was already waiting there.
"Secretary, you're early."
"You're earlier. Why, the driver didn't bring it? β
"Last time, the driver was assigned to the traffic police team, and the new driver didn't know about it and didn't want him to know about it. Secretary, who are you driving? β
"It is an employee of our company, who has come to the company since he retired from the army, for more than 10 years, loyal to his duties and diligent, and the company decided to send him here as a representative to manage the company's personnel and things. His name is Xiao Shaoqiu. I've always called him Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao. Come down. This is Mayor Chen. β
Brother Xiao got out of the car and shook hands with Chen Shaonan, Chen Shaonan said: "Mr. Xiao, welcome to preside over the work, there has been production here for a while, I am always worried about mistakes, especially those precious metals, it is good that you are here." β
Brother Xiao said: "Let Mayor Chen bother. After I came, I obeyed Mayor Chen's arrangement. β
Xiao Shaoqiu looks like a stuffy gourd. But after all, after many years of wandering outside, the scene can still be said. Chen Shaonan was like a mirror in his heart, since Secretary Li arranged for him to come over, he must have an explanation, besides, Secretary Li's henchmen must be in charge of the core things, and it is not their turn to put their beaks.
"Mr. Xiao, the production here is basically normal now, and the most worrying thing for me is the collection and storage of precious metals. I'll leave you in charge of this work. It is now divided into three smelters, Chenjiazhou, Shangwan and Banmianshan, each with 20 sets of smelting equipment. There are four shifts a day, and you have to collect precious metals four times a day, and I will take you around and explain to the person in charge of each factory. β
Xiao Shaoqiu said: "Okay, trouble Mayor Chen." β
Wuyang said: "Lao Chen, 60 sets of smelting equipment can smelt 144,000 tons of black sand, can it be mined?" β
"Mining black sand is not a problem, the black sand is relatively soft, and it can be loaded directly on the mining truck with a loader. The biggest problem now is the disposal of slag. After the black sand is smelted, about 85% of it becomes slag, and we now produce it into products such as stone bricks, stone slabs and stone basins. You see, the slag here in Chenjiazhou is used to produce stone bricks, most of which are transported by tractors, and they are bought by villagers, and the amount is very small. β
Wuyang asked, "How can the villagers like stone bricks?" β
Chen Shaonan smiled: "It's not cheap." Our stone bricks are the same size as the cement bricks used by the villagers before, the cement bricks are 1 piece 5 each, our stone bricks are 1 piece 3, the villagers need about 30,000 pieces to build a house, which can save 6,000 yuan, the quality of the stone bricks is better than the cement bricks, and the villagers must like it. β
"Then why don't you use the construction sites in the city?"
"It's not that it's not used, it's that it's used less. The weight of stone bricks is heavier than that of cement bricks, which are used in high-rise buildings, the weight of the wall itself is too large, the frame must be reinforced, and the steel used should be increased a lot, so that basically no money can be saved, and the builder buys red bricks, which is delivered by the brick factory, and does not need to pay cash, and can wait for the house to be sold and settled, so it is reluctant to buy. The situation of the slate is different, after the slate is polished, it is used in the square, street, and unit floor of the city, which is a real good and cheap thing. Some of them are even used for home improvement. β
Wuyang asked: "How cheap is it?" β
Chen Shaonan said: "A 4 cm thick, 40 cm square slate, if it is granite or marble, at least 80 yuan 1 square meter, each piece is 9 pieces 6, our production of stone slabs, only 40 yuan 1 square meter, each piece 4 pieces 8." And our slate, absolutely no radiation. β
Wuyang said: "It's all black, it's not too good-looking." β
"Secretary, after smelting, it has become gray, and the black components should all be iron molecules. The gray one is paved on the street, which is still very suitable. I discussed with the person in charge of the smelter to reduce the production of stone basins, increase the production of stone slabs, and promote the product to surrounding cities. β
"Okay, that's a good idea. Stone pots thing, we can add some varieties, not all produce round, but also square. The small ones are made into ashtrays, and the big ones are placed on the streets, replacing those wooden bonsai. Again, the gray color is really not good-looking, you can spray all kinds of paint, and add some beautiful patterns. β
Chen Shaonan said: "Secretary, this work will be handed over to Mr. Xiao to do in the future, and these revenues are originally from your company." β
Xiao Shaoqiu said: "Okay, I'll take my time and figure it out." β
"Okay, I believe Brother Xiao has a way."
Chen Shaonan said: "If the product sales are done well, there is still a lot to be done. We have been producing slate for just one month, and by yesterday we had achieved a sales income of 200 million yuan, and the income of stone bricks was more than 60 million, which was enough to pay for the construction of roads, factories and the erection of high-voltage power lines. In the future, it is possible to rely on these to pay for daily expenses, and the income from those metal products will be completely pure income. β
Wuyang said: "Lao Chen, you count it like this." It's a little too optimistic. The reserves of black sand are so large. It's hard to sell all of them as products. Brother Xiao. You don't have too much pressure, you have to do production, you have to find a market, you really can't sell, just find a place to pile up, and talk about it slowly later. Let's go in and have a look. β
The road entering the factory, which used to reduce the speed of vehicles when intersecting, has now been built into a wide road with six lanes in both directions. The road was not built to the village. Instead, he turned to the side of the mountain. Wuyang once told them that the underground of the village was all black sand, and as for how to build roads and factories, let Chen Shaonan and the villagers make the decisions.
The hillside that is not very large has been dug into 3 ladders, and the highest part is a raw material yard full of black sand, where forklifts are busy, and mining trucks are coming in and out; In the middle of the ladder are 20 smelting furnaces lined up. Since it is all electric smelting, there is not much smoke and dust. The area of the bottom staircase is large. The place next to the smelting furnace against the gable wall is also a long line of stone and brick production equipment. When the red slag flows into the equipment, what comes out is the stone and brick on the wooden board. Each plank is topped with 6 stone bricks, 4 planks on top of each other, and has a height of 1.2 meters. With steam in the equipment and black smoke from forklifts, it is the most polluted and lively venue.
"Secretary, let's go to the smelting furnace and have a look." Parking the car on the side of the road, Chen Shaonan walked over and said.
"Okay, let's see."
Several people walked up, and the operator was very familiar with Chen Shaonan, and they all greeted him one by one. "Master Li, is this furnace fast?"
"It's almost ready, it's been smelted, just wait for all kinds of things to be layered, a few minutes."
"Good. This is Mr. Xiao sent by the company, let him see the baking, and we will go to Director Chen. β
"Director Chen is in the office." After Master Li finished speaking, he went to take care of the smelting furnace.
Wuyang asked: "Lao Chen, what is the monthly salary of the operator here?" β
"It adds up to about 8,000 yuan, and if you count bonuses and benefits, there are more than 10,000."
"Have you paid five insurances and one housing fund?"
"Like Master Li, who is a retired worker, he didn't pay unemployment insurance and housing provident fund, but the money was sent to them. Those who are not retirees are no less. β
"It's out of the oven, you guys go away, don't burn it." Master Li shouted.
Several people heard the shouts and looked towards the smelting furnace. In fact, there is nothing to be seen, and the slag is the first to come out, because the slag is light, and it all floats on it, and it flows from the pipe into the equipment that produces the stone bricks. After a while, the reddish liquid flowed in the containers in front of them, and they couldn't see what it was. If it is by density, it should be molten iron, Wuyang thought.
When one container is filled, a young man hooks the mouth of the pipe with an iron hook and aims it at the other container, and the other person pours water the filled container. After the thick water vapor, the reddish liquid quickly turned into a black solid, and sure enough, it was iron. The containers were immediately transported by forklift.
Next is silver, followed by lead, and then gold. The amount of metal also decreases in this order, and it is only after a cold bath that it is restored to its original color.
Wuyang said: "Lao Chen, what is the approximate content of each of these metals?" β
"At the beginning, it was tested and found to be 13.38 per cent iron, 0.33 per cent silver, 0.225 per cent lead and 3.22 grams per tonne gold," Chen said. Now that it has entered normal production, there is no further inspection because the measurement of the incoming material is not very accurate. It's all mined at one site, and there shouldn't be much change. β
"Is the black sand the same in all three factories?"
"Pretty much." Chen Shaonan said.
Wuyang felt that he knew enough, so he took the lead and walked to Director Chen's office. Chen Shaonan followed up and said: "Secretary, it is very difficult and easy for people to get rich, just this hour's work, the pig iron produced by a furnace is worth 30,000 yuan, 60 furnaces, that is, 1.8 million, the villagers can share half, there are 900,000, and in a year, there are nearly 8 billion." There are only more than 3,000 people in Chenjiazhou and Shangwan, and the average population is 2.6 million. β
Xiao Shaoqiu said: "If the labor force works in the smelter, there is still an income of tens of thousands of yuan a year, right? β
"Yes, now except for the elderly and children, everyone has something to do, and those who can't go to work in the factory have money to grow vegetables and raise chickens, so I said it's easy to get rich. In the past, he had guarded the gold mountain for thousands of years, and he had never received any benefits, and it was too difficult to get rich. β
Wuyang said: "Lao Chen, you have to tell the villagers that the distribution of this money must be fair, don't let people embezzle, if it arouses public anger, this matter will not be done, our China has always been free from poverty and inequality." By the way, the villagers must know about the production of gold in the smelter, you can help me understand it, and if you want it, I can give some to everyone. β
Chen Shaonan said: "Secretary, this is a contract, this case cannot be opened, if you ask for gold and silver, it will be a bottomless pit." β
"You're right. But I really don't care about this little bit of gold, otherwise it would be so, you help count the number of people, I will give each person a set of gold necklaces, rings, earrings, regardless of men and women, young and old, including those who have not passed through the door, pregnant and unborn, will not be very thick, adding up to 150 grams. β
Chen Shaonan said: "Secretary, this is okay, but don't worry, this year has just been produced, there is no profit, let's talk about the New Year next year." But there's something I want you to do. Sooner or later, the houses of the villagers will be demolished, and when building the houses, some stones, bricks and slabs will be used, and they will be given to them. β
"No problem. The villagers want to dig the homestead, find a way to pull out the bulldozer, help them dig, don't charge a fee. Also, now that the cultivated land is abandoned, we need to help everyone reclaim some arable land on the hillside and let them grow some vegetables and fruits. β
"Okay, secretary, I thank you for the villagers. I'll take Mr. Xiao up to say hello and leave, so don't go up. β
Watching the two of them go upstairs, Wuyang remembered what Chen Shaonan said just now, it was difficult and easy to make a fortune. It's just too easy for yourself. Mining and smelting here, can earn more than 150 tons of gold every year, not to mention, the silver content is so high, now there are more and more people collecting silver products, the price is also rising year by year, the general casting objects, each gram is 8 or 9 yuan. Seventh sister's family originally stored a lot of silver ingots in the warehouse, there was no surplus since last year, and this year it began to use the inventory, with the silver ingots here, there is no need to worry about making silverware.
And one of the main ones, there is so much pig iron. Originally, when I bought Yihe Iron and Steel Plant for expansion, I was still worried about iron ore and pig iron. The Yihe River is convenient for road and railway transportation, but the ship transportation can only be 2,000 tons of small boats. The high freight costs of roads and railways will reduce profits, and the cost of small boats will also increase if they have to connect with the Yangtze River estuary. With this 16 million tons of pig iron per year, it is enough for the steel mill to produce for 3 years. There is still so much black sand underground, and the steel mill has been producing for 3 or 50 years, so you don't have to worry about raw materials. Although it takes up a lot of funds, but their own funds are very sufficient, in the case of soaring prices and currency depreciation, it is much better to hoard goods than to save money.
Of course, it is said here that Yue Hong, Bai Ge, Jiang Yao, and Jiang Yu will have some income, how much is it?
Chen Shaonan and Xiao Shaoqiu came downstairs, and Director Chen also followed, and shouted from afar: "Secretary Li, you won't go up and sit for a while when you come." (To be continued......)
