Chapter 606: Collapse

『Click on the chapter to report an error』

People are sympathetic, especially when the sympathetic person and the sympathetic party belong to the same class level, but the status within the class level is completely different, people will have sympathy.

A rich man has become a homeless man because of the failure of investment, the factory collapses, the business goes bankrupt. When a working-class person sees the news, he will never sympathize with the situation and plight of this rich man, but may laugh out loud, and there is something called schadenfreude that quickly infects his emotions, and may even make them spit on and say that they deserve it.

The only people who really sympathize with the rich are those who are rich, or even richer than the rich people, no matter what kind of mood they feel at the beginning, they will eventually become sympathetic, and then say that this guy is really unlucky, or this guy is really pitiful.

This is compassion, an emotion that is compatible from the top down of a social class, and definitely not from the bottom up.

Now, the slave miners in Andorra's mining areas, under the appeal of the ten freed and free slave representatives, are beginning to develop an emotion that they should not have developed - compassion.

They have seen hope, they can feel hope, but there are still 300,000 slaves in this land who live in the same dark mines as they "were", faced endless suffering, and finally died tragically in a fork in the road.

Some of them came to the same conclusion as these representatives, or even Duhring.

Since miracles can happen, why don't we do something to let them shine brightly again to save those "companions" who are still shrouded in darkness?

This idea soon began to spread among the slave community in the mines, because Doolin's promise had begun to be fulfilled, and they believed in Dorin, so a representative was elected by some willing slaves to ask Dhurin to free more slaves in person.

Of course, Durin agreed, and he thought so.

At this time, an event is changing the current calm in the west.

There are many mining areas in the west that have entered the countdown to closure, and it is impossible to dig more and more mineral deposits, except for Yaojing. The special properties and composition of Yaojing have not been fully analyzed until today, and new progress will be made every year, thus promoting the rapid and vigorous development of another industry - chemical enterprises.

The catalyst formula provided by each chemical company is not exactly the same, and some catalyst formulations are suitable for civilian use, and the reaction of Yaojing in these catalysts will be very smooth and last for a long time, which is enough to meet the needs of ordinary people in power and heat, as well as the saving of Yaojing. There are also non-civilian formulations that can produce a violent reaction at the moment when the crystal is mixed with a catalyst, which is mostly used in industry and military.

At present, there are no less than 30 kinds of catalysts on the market, but ordinary people do not need to rack their brains for which catalyst to buy, and the equipment that needs to use catalysts will be formulated by the manufacturer, or even a special catalyst for OEM.

Until now, the creation of Yaojing has been a mystery, this self-healing vein is completely in the hands of the Empire, except for Yaojing, after the other mineral deposits are excavated, they are really gone.

This is also the case for Roel's bauxite, which was discovered by an excellent assessment by the exploration team and believed that the bauxite could continue to be excavated for at least 15 years. But today is only the seventh year of excavation, and there is no more bauxite to be found. To put it simply, the Roel non-ferrous metals mining company is facing huge risks. Failure to find new deposits on this privatized land means that the Roel nonferrous metals mining company will soon go bankrupt.

The Reich Central Bank would freeze all their assets and then take everything they had, and those creditors would kill Mr. Roel and his whole family because they couldn't afford to pay them back.

In order to grab this vein, Mr. Roel took the vein from the Jindes Metal Mining Group and the Olville Mining Group for 3.3 million yuan, for which he mortgaged all his property to the bank and repaid a large amount of money. I also borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends to scrape together the capital to buy this bauxite. Because according to the exploration conclusion at that time, it only takes eight or nine years to recover the cost, and after all the mining is completed, the net profit after removing the cost will not be less than 4.5 million to 5 million!

This is still not taking into account the rapid recovery of the empire's economy at that time, and if that report were redone today, the final net profit would exceed eight million!

But it's actually a game, a hoax, a scam to get Mr. Roel out.

There will always be no shortage of speculators like Mr. Roel and Mr. Luke, a former friend of Doolin, who have come to an end in their original industry and will not develop in steps. If we do not adjust the industrial structure as soon as possible, or change careers, it is very likely that this will be a sign of decline, and it is only a matter of time before it goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt. So some people with ambition and gambling came to the west waving money during that time, and frantically competed for resources here.

Speculators with only a few hundred thousand to a million dollars are not taken seriously by the big corporations, but speculators like Mr. Roel, who hold millions of dollars, are the object of hatred of all large corporations. Because they don't understand, because they have a kind, they want to fight for everything, they want everything. This inadvertently inflated the transaction prices of many mines, allowing large corporations to buy mines at a premium for more money than originally planned, but for these speculators, they have nothing to lose.

The money in their pockets is still in their pockets, and when it comes to the next auction or trade fair, they start messing around again unless they run out of money.

So Mr. Roel was fooled, in fact, he was not the only one who was fooled, in recent years, there have been many mining areas closed due to the depletion of ore veins, and some people are lucky to earn back the money they invested at the beginning, and there is a little surplus. But many others eventually went bankrupt and disappeared into the wilderness of the West.

At this time, 271 local miners in the mining area took off their clothes, including the "dog tags" around their necks. Although they are not soldiers, they also have a dog tag, which is an important proof to count the number of victims and identify the corpses after a mining disaster, and local miners will have such a dog tag.

Mr. Roel stood by with a gloomy face, watching as the men handed over everything and waited for the return from the captain of the Mine Guard - they were all loaded onto trucks and sent north to continue mining, and there were many mines in the north, but they were much worse than in the west. Mr. Roel compensated the miners fifteen hundred dollars each, and they would stay in the north for three years and return after three years.

When everything was ready, Mr. Roel took out a cigarette, took a few puffs, and threw it on the ground, his eyes becoming a little calm, "Let's start......

With a violent tremor of the earth, the entire camp was affected, and then several mine mouths spewed out a large amount of air that swept the dust and stones outward like pipes, and the ground cracked, and then a loud noise was heard in my ears.

"It's a landslide!"

With a high-pitched, piercing scream, the entire camp went into chaos......

Three minutes later, the state government's emergency management office received a call that at least 300 people had been trapped in the mine for rescue after a massive landslide had occurred at the Roel Mining Company's mining site.

This call made the operator break out in a cold sweat, this may be the largest mining accident in the past two years, since the mine owners began to use slaves on a large scale, the "human" casualties in the city where the mining disaster occurred will not exceed thirty people, and an accident of more than three hundred people like this will definitely shake the entire empire.

It was uncertain whether the Empire would turn its attention to the west as a result, but Memnon shook first.

More than 300 people were paid compensation for the accident, which would have kept his pockets clean, and he immediately called the governor's office to discuss how the matter should be handled.

Soon word of the accident spread throughout the West, but the reaction of the mine owners was thought-provoking. The first time they knew about this, their expressions were very strange, as if they were smiling but not smiling, and with some thoughtful looks.

The West Mining Association is a thing that connects most of the mine owners in the west, and they know each other's situation well. Roel's mine has had problems since last year, with problems with reserves, for which he has hired two very famous exploration teams to go around his territory. Later, it was revealed that Roel's mine had dried up and that nothing could be dug up anymore, although the news was eventually determined to be a rumor, and Roel invited many people to his mine to watch large quantities of bauxite come out of the mine with their own eyes.

But everyone knows that his mines and reserves may indeed have been depleted.

Whether a person has money or not can be seen from his usual style, although Mr. Roel did not dare to say that he was the kind of person who spent extravagantly in the past, but the consumption of dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars was as easy for him as drinking water. He often travels to places in the West that are dedicated to the relaxation of successful people and the place where they can find their faith and soul, and he often helps poor women financially and warms them. But since the second half of last year, he has rarely appeared.

Now that all of a sudden it is said that Mr. Roel's mine has collapsed, and that he actually hired so many local miners when everyone was mining with slaves, then the thing behind this news is worth people's attention!
