Chapter 143: Regret Losing Humvee
Wang Chao went to see two coal mines that are said to be on the verge of depletion in Taiyuan City, and found through the perspective that the first coal seam is indeed very thin, and at most it will maintain mining for more than a year, so he took the cable car to see the second one, but when he was on the cable car, he inadvertently looked down at the bottom of the two coal mines, and found that a thick coal seam was found under a very low hill between the two coal mines, and he was not only happy.
When I came to the second coal mine, I found that the coal mine had been exhausted, but it was not the whole mountain that was exhausted, but the coal seam, which was about ten meters below this coal seam, and there was a thick coal seam, and this coal seam was the same coal seam as the low hills, with a thickness of more than 100 meters, which could be said to have exceeded the altitude of the mountain.
After waiting up, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them went down the mountain and went straight to Taiyuan City, Sister Qin was still waiting at the restaurant where she ate at noon, "Mr. Wang, what do you think, is there a chance for cooperation?" Sister Qin asked in a mocking voice, it turned out that she was not very optimistic, coal mining is different from oil mining, there is yes, there is no, coal cannot flow, even if it is mined here into a depression, but coal from other places cannot flow over, so I have only heard that oil production can mine depleted oil wells, and coal mining has really never heard of it.
"Hehe, Sister Qin, I read it, and I have a preliminary idea. What price would you pay if the coal you are currently mining were to sell? Wang Chao asked after a moment's thought
"That coal mine, according to the results of our expert survey, at least two more years can be mined, that is, according to the current mining rate, there are at least three hundred to five million tons of mining capacity, well, if you are interested in mining, then simply, I will give you the equipment and everything, a price of 30 million. What do you think? ”
"Oh, what about the other one?" Wang Chao didn't answer directly, and then asked the other one.
"The one?" Sister Qin glanced at Wang Chao a little strangely, "Mr. Wang, I won't hide it from you, that mine has been exhausted, even if it is mined again, it will not be calculated in terms of cost, not to mention that you are a friend introduced by Li Zhong and Brother Li, I can't pit you." Let's have something to say on the table."
"It's okay, you just have to make a price"
"If you want that coal mine, I will give you 1 million yuan at a fixed price, after all, there is still some equipment there, and there is still some coal, but according to the current coal market price, mining is not cost-effective."
"Sister Qin, if I want these two mines, you can give a package price," Wang Chao took a sip of tea from his cup and said slowly.
Sister Qin listened to the banter in her eyes. said very seriously, "Mr. Wang, Brother Wang, I don't want you, if you plan to do this." I'll buy one get one free, a total price of 30 million, these two coal mines are yours"
"Sister Qin, except for the coal mine. You have to give me the coal mining and exploration certificates, otherwise I will start a new one, but it will take a lot of effort. I'm not a local, but I'm counting on you here."
"Hehe, brother, don't worry, the mine is sold to you, it's useless for me to keep this document, and I'll hand it over to you at that time, and if you encounter anything in the future, I can help, what do you think?"
"Okay, Sister Qin, be happy, then let's make a decision, I can settle this matter now, I want these two coal mines", he raised his water glass, "Sister Qin, I will replace the wine with tea, I will toast you"
"Okay, happy cooperation" After speaking, Sister Qin drank all the water in the cup.
Next, Wang Chao stayed in Taiyuan City for a week, the change of the company's procedures, in the process of knowing that the original Brother Zhang's full name is Zhang Gaofa, was hired by Sister Qin from the state-owned coal mine with a high salary, and usually manages the two mines for her, Wang Chao bought the mine, and saw that this Brother Zhang is very real, and has rich management experience, so even he and other mine workers did not dismiss, all stayed, saving the trouble of recruiting people again.
The name of the company was changed to Taiyuan Tianyi Coal Industry Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned company of Wang Chao, and additional investment was made to increase the registered capital of the company to 100 million.
After all the formalities are completed, the 30 million yuan of funds will be transferred to Sister Qin.
After that, Wang Chao invited Brother Zhang to the hotel, closed the door, and chatted for a long time, and then Brother Zhang walked out of the hotel with suspicion in his eyes, and then bought a batch of small trains to transport coal, which were more than 200 meters long.
He leveled a piece of land under the foot of the coal mine that had stopped, formed a large storage yard, and then led the workers to reopen the coal shaft, which lasted for three months, and then drilled a mine with a very gentle slope and wider next to the original coal shaft, and then the small train was spread there and went straight to the yard at the foot of the mountain, and then the unmanned shearer was purchased again.
All this was invested, and nearly 200 million yuan was spent, although Brother Zhang felt that he had no bottom in his heart, but his young boss said it, so he naturally did it.
When everything is ready, call the boss who is far away in Yanjing and ask him to come over to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony.
For more than three months, Wang Chao has not been guarding here, he has been the shopkeeper again, after the establishment of the company returned to Yanjing, although he was not in Taiyuan during this time, but he was not idle, Li Zhong has found him Sichuan Chuanzhong Vehicle Factory people, this time to the country of abundance.
"Come to Mr. Wang, let me introduce to you, this is the director and secretary of our Sichuan Vehicle Factory, Niu Zhenxingniu, the director of the factory, this is the deputy director Liu Shuhai, and this is Wu Youming, the chief engineer in charge of technology. Director Niu, this is the Wang Chao Wang President I told you."
As soon as Wang Chao and Li Zhong got off the plane, they saw three people who were tall, short, fat and thin picking up the plane, and after introducing them one by one, everyone got into the car.
Don't look at the factories under the state-owned system, but the treatment is not low, a total of three vehicles to pick up, a Mercedes-Benz, two Audi A6, this specification has been relative to the treatment of provincial and ministerial cadres, a group of people laughing and laughing to the company.
Wang Chao came here for the first time, not only was he shocked by this factory, but what is the least valuable state-owned enterprise? The land, this factory is so big, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, there are various slogans written on the wall of the factory, "100 days of hard work, win new models", "strive for excellence and pioneering, forever climb the peak", "reputation first, service first, quality first"... These slogans are full of energy, which makes Wang Chao feel a bit like an old enterprise in the 80s.
When I came to the factory office area and looked at those nameplates, this feeling was even stronger, what scheduling department, financial department, personnel department, labor union, factory room and so on. The uniform uniforms are blue, if it weren't for these cars placed there, Wang Chao felt that he had crossed over.
"Mr. Wang, please come in" Director Niu waved his hand and invited Wang Chao into the office, where there is a modern atmosphere, the magnificent boss table, with Wang Chao's eyesight, it can be seen that this is actually Nanzhang wood, the boss chair is more luxurious, and there is a kung fu coffee table on the small coffee table.
After a few people sat down. Director Niu asked the secretary to make tea for everyone, "Mr. Wang, you are welcome to come to my small factory as a guest, really let me shine here, taste this tea, this is the best pre-rain tea in Ya'an, Sichuan, no less than Longjing."
Wang Chao said thank you, picked up the teacup and smelled it slightly, and it was really fragrant. I can't help but praise the good tea again and again.
After drinking tea, he began to ask tentatively, "Mr. Wang, I heard Mr. Li say that you are grateful to our small factory, do you want to invest in me?" ”
"Hehe, Niu Changzi. As for me, I won't hide it from you, I'm actually interested in the Humvee of the United States that you acquired, I remember that you seem to have acquired it in 07. But there is no new model produced in China now, you must know that the brand Hummer is a golden rooster that can lay golden eggs in the eyes of others."
"Yo, this. Hehe, Mr. Wang, you are too exalted to us, do you think we don't want to do it, but... Alas, it's difficult" After speaking, the director of the Niu factory retracted into the sofa, with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Oh, I would like to hear more about it, can you tell me about it?"
"You can come in person, and get straight to the point, I won't go around the bend with you, do you know what we bought Hummer for Lu in the first place?"
"I don't know."
"The reason why we bought him in the first place was actually because of our difficulties. We were originally just a small car factory, and we mainly produced heavy engineering vehicles, civil off-road vehicles we have not been involved, the reason why we bought them at the beginning, mainly because someone approached us, hoping to entrust us to buy, of course, the funds are out of them, and after the purchase is also their use and production, and we have no half-dime relationship, to put it bluntly, we are just an excuse and shell, in order to be able to cope with the review of the United States."
"Is it someone from the military?" Wang Chao couldn't help but blurt out
"That's right, it's them, they hope that by acquiring this car, they can achieve the purpose of Jiami country's military off-road vehicle technology. But after we contacted the United States General Motors, we understood that the civilian version of the Hummer and the military version are not the same concept at all, the military version is still in the military-affiliated enterprises, and the civilian version was acquired by General Motors in 1999, but the acquisition is only the appearance, brand and a little technology, and the real core things are not given to General Motors. Therefore, after GM bought it, a large part of it was to build momentum, and they only sold the brand, and the production line required to remain in GM for three years, and also had to bear a series of problems such as the company's personnel, pension, and debt. After knowing this purpose, the military people asked us to praise the acquisition, and after a long discussion, they finally decided to abandon the acquisition, so we didn't make the acquisition in the end."
"Hey, that's the case, so you didn't buy the Hummer"
"Yes, we gave up on the acquisition, just for the purpose of hype, we didn't publicize it to the outside world, but also to take this opportunity to promote our factory. Unexpectedly, it made you misunderstood, and came all the way to ask, ashamed" After the director of the Niu factory finished speaking, he took the water cup and drank it all, and the look of shame on his face still did not completely subside.
Wang Chao's heart was half cold: his trip was really in vain, he knew that he would think of other ways to do this, his face also showed a look of frustration, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressed.
"Mr. Wang, you see that the time is not early, let's eat first, and talk while eating" Liu Shuhai, the deputy factory director next to him, stood up and glanced at the Niu factory director.
"Yes, yes, you see we only care about chatting, we forget the time, go, come and eat, please come to us to try authentic Sichuan cuisine"
Wang Chao had no choice but to stand up, and laughed a few words in his mouth, "Yes, if you come, you will eat it, not to mention that you also know the director of the Niu factory and the deputy director of the Liu, it is not worth the trip, go" and walked out of the office.
Wang Chao ate the same taste as chewing wax at this meal, and endured to finish eating, because it was noon, and he was in a bad mood, so he didn't drink.
After dinner, back to the office, the director of the Niu factory said, "Mr. Wang, since you came, by the way to visit our factory, although we are not a large state-owned enterprise, but in our Sichuan, it is still well-known, we produce heavy vehicles for export more than domestic sales, we are still some well-known in the world."
"Then it's time to visit and learn."
Then under the leadership of the cattle factory director, we followed to the factory workshop, the tall workshop in the rows of semi-finished vehicles are flowing along the assembly line, the workers are busy assembling, the heavy vehicles produced here are both trucks, cranes, rollers and various engineering vehicles, there are many models, it looks pretty good.
More than an hour has passed, Wang Chao is more and more interested in this factory, although they are not a large state-owned enterprise, all kinds of vehicles can be produced are independent intellectual property rights, and the engine is all made for themselves, it seems that the strength of this enterprise is still very strong, one is not imported, two is not a joint venture, completely relying on their own ability to stand in the forest of strong hands in the domestic heavy machinery factory, enough to prove that they have something to be proud of.
After the visit, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Chao and Li Zhong said goodbye, and the director of the Niu factory invited them to have time to sit here in the future, and then sent someone to send them to the airport, and the two returned to Yanjing again.
It was already six o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Yanjing, and the two of them asked for a private room in the hotel next to the terminal of the capital airport, chatting while eating, "Wang Chao, I see that your interest is not very high, this is completely unnecessary, you may have done things too smoothly before, so you are not prepared for failure, you must know that nine times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life, success is occasional, and failure is the norm." So, you don't have to be so depressed."
Wang Chao drank a glass of cold beer, "Brother Li, it's not that I'm not interested, but it's that I'm so poor at collecting information here, I'm really ashamed that I haven't figured out such news."
"Well, it's good to open it if you want to. By the way, I think you really plan to get involved in the automobile manufacturing industry? Why don't you fall in love with the Humvee, the people of the United States are very good, why don't you take a long-term view and look at the vehicles of other countries"
"Yes, I understand, it's just that I can't turn around for a while. But when it comes to other countries, Brother Li, are you optimistic about the brand and model of Lu? ”
"Hehe, there are many off-road vehicles abroad, not to mention anything else, just say how many such brands you count in Germany, Volkswagen has off-road vehicles, Audi has off-road vehicles, BMW has off-road vehicles, Volvo has off-road vehicles, Italy's Iveco has off-road vehicles, Britain's Land Rover, France's Leo, etc., are well-known off-road vehicles, but the most well-known is recognized as the off-road vehicles produced in Minsk, Russia, but they only produce military, no civilian version, you must know that their big guy is a real all-terrain vehicle, It is used to launch missiles and even transport rockets..."
