Chapter 8 One Year
The cold comes and goes, the autumn harvest and the winter hide, and the year passes in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On August 31, 1998, the scorching sun, Tiecheng No. 1 Middle School was crowded, and today was the day of registration.
There are groups of threes, threes, twos and twos, discussing summer vacation life enthusiastically;
There are those who carry large bags and small bags and hurried to the dormitory;
There are people who look around, their eyes are full of anticipation, but they don't know where to go;
There are adults with children, asking for directions everywhere;
Of course, there are also Lu Xiaofeng who entered the school gate in a car like this.
Lu Xiaofeng only studied in Tiecheng No. 1 Middle School in high school before the world, and he went to Gear Attached Middle School in junior high school, but now his parents have left the gear factory, and he is thinking about his "she", of course, he came to Tiecheng No. 1 Middle School.
Originally, in terms of student status, he still belonged to Gear Middle School, but Lu Xiaofeng asked his father to sponsor 200,000 yuan to Tiecheng No. 1 Middle School to build a teacher's apartment, and his enrollment was certainly not a problem.
No, he sat in his father's brand-new Audi A6, drove directly into the school, came to the administration building, and he also came to sign up, although he was very familiar with the school, but he still followed his father to find the principal first.
In the past year, Lu Xiaofeng's living environment has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has completely changed from a grassroots to a rich second generation.
Under his guidance, the Pingba Coal Mine has taken many detours less than in history, and has developed much faster and more stable.
In the original history, Uncle Xiao had insufficient funds, so he could only buy some dilapidated equipment eliminated by state-owned enterprises and large mines, and relied on manual coal mining, and the safety awareness was not good enough.
Moreover, the uncle's management experience is almost zero, and he only knows how to deal with the government, but does not handle the relationship with the local villagers.
Seeing that the coal mine was booming, and the villagers were still living a hard life, some people were dissatisfied and began to make trouble, some blocked the coal mine, some cut off the road, and some stole the materials on the mine, and finally developed into a large-scale fight, injuring and maiming many people, and it was a large amount of money spent to settle the situation.
But relations between the mine and the local population remain strained, with many preferring to work outside the mine rather than to work in the mine.
In response to this situation, Lu Xiaofeng paid attention in advance.
Due to Lu Guoqing's shareholding, which brought sufficient funds, this time, the coal mining equipment of the coal mine was replaced.
Although it is still the equipment that has been eliminated by state-owned enterprises and large mines, because of the abundant money, the rails and bucket cars that have been turned up are all fifty or sixty percent new, the shovels and shovels are all eighty percent new, and the cables, blowers, mining lamps, labor clothes, etc., are directly new.
Originally, due to lack of funds, the transportation of coal from the mountains to the railway was contracted to those self-employed people who ran transportation, and there was no mandatory constraint, how much to transport, and when to transport, all of which were decided by the driver, and there was no accurate head.
This time, because the mining was much smoother than in history, it succeeded more than half a year ahead of schedule, and before the bank tightened the monetary system, it successfully obtained the loan, and successively purchased five large trucks and set up its own transportation team, and the mined coal could be transported to the railway in time.
In view of the safety of coal production, at the suggestion of Lu Xiaofeng, he specially invited teachers to Tiecheng Institute of Technology and set up a training class.
For those newly recruited migrant workers, they are required to go through half a month of training and pass the examination before they can enter the hole to mine coal.
It is also necessary to strictly enforce incentives and punishments.
The wages of miners are made up of three parts:
First, the basic salary is 350 yuan, and the coal mining volume needs to be completed 60 tons/month;
The second is the performance salary, the part of the coal mining volume exceeding 60 tons/month, 6 yuan per ton, and the part exceeding 80 tons/month, 8 yuan per ton;
The third is the safety production bonus, a total of 300 yuan, the coal mine has formulated strict safety regulations, such as the hole must wear a helmet, the mining area is strictly prohibited from fireworks, no drinking during work, etc., but where the violation, a fine of 50 yuan, until the penalty, the same regulation violated three times, or different regulations violated a total of six times, direct suspension of training, qualified to work, if a month is not fined, then an additional reward of 100 yuan.
Coal mine implements a three-shift work system, high salary hires senior professionals as mine managers, mine managers are responsible for patrolling and inspecting safety work at any time, taking full responsibility for safety, the salary of the mine manager implements an annual salary system, the monthly basic salary is only 1000, no accidents in the quarter, then a bonus of 10,000, no accidents in half a year, in addition to the quarterly bonus of 10,000, another 10,000, no accidents throughout the year will be issued an additional 20,000, a cumulative bonus of 70,000, an accident will be deducted from the bonus of 2000, due to safety casualties, directly deduct the bonus of the quarter.
In this way, diligent, capable and well-behaved miners can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is comparable to the workers of large enterprises in the city.
In state-owned enterprises, their annual salary is only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, while in private coal mines, they can get a maximum of more than 80,000 yuan, which is a really high salary.
The remuneration of employees outside the well ranges from 600 to 1,000 yuan, and it is also divided into two parts: half is the basic salary, and the other is the safety production reward.
If there is no accident in the safety production of the coal mine throughout the year, 5,000 per person will be rewarded, and if there is an accident but no casualties, 3,000 per person.
Later, it was found that someone was cheating and slippery, deliberately lazy, only went to work for half a month, only mined more than 20 tons of coal, and there was no violation, but according to the regulations can get 750 yuan, so another article was added: if the amount of coal mining can not reach 60 tons / month, the basic salary and bonus will be cancelled, and the actual amount of coal mined will be calculated at 5 yuan per ton, and the fine for violations will remain the same.
For production safety, everyone has an alarm bell in their hearts, and everyone has the motivation to supervise and restrain each other.
At first, some miners didn't take the safety regulations seriously, until someone was fined in public, and they told the safety accident cases in various places, which was regarded as an example to the monkey.
At the end of the month, the coal mine gathered the miners to announce their wages in public, and those who obeyed the rules suddenly had hundreds more than the miners who violated the rules.
In this way, in terms of hardware and software, the coal mine has been open for almost two years, and there have only been two or three minor accidents, all of which were crushed and scratched due to improper operation of the miners, and there has not been a single major accident.
In response to the heavy rains and floods since the summer of this year, the coal mine has deployed in advance, dug a diversion ditch on the mountain, built a waterproof dam outside the mine, and organized personnel to overhaul the roads along the way, strengthen the bridges, and clean up the drainage ditches on the roadside.
And all this is based on living in harmony with the local villagers and developing together.
From the time the coal mine opened, Lu Guoqing asked his father to help him start organizing people to repair roads and realize the opening of roads to every household in the village.
At that time, it was common to burn firewood for cooking and heating in mountain villages, which was inconvenient and unsafe, and honeycomb coal was popularized in coal mines.
First of all, Lu Guoqing got a set of equipment for producing honeycomb coal and set up a honeycomb coal processing plant through the relationship of the gear factory.
More than 200 households in the village organized a few masters to help each family renovate their stoves, and then provided two honeycomb coals for free every day, which was just enough to boil water for cooking.
In other villages and towns in neighboring townships, they sell honeycomb coal for three yuan a dollar. Let the villagers of Pingba Village experience a sense of superiority at once.
The village primary school has also been renovated to provide teachers and students with a 3 yuan per day allowance for breakfast and lunch, and a salary subsidy for teachers is also planned.
There are also plans to build a cultural plaza next to the primary school, build sports facilities, build a nursing home in a quiet place at the foot of the mountain, and build a building for the village committee.
For the benefit of the villagers, Lu Hongjun called a few respected old men in the village, gave full play to the residual heat and prestige of the old cadres, and mobilized the villagers to exert their efforts to requisition the land (of course, there was compensation).
At the same time, it also communicated with the government and planned to sponsor the town government to repair rural roads and open up the transportation of various villages.
At that time, the nouveau riche were basically iron roosters, reluctant to take out a penny, let alone do good deeds, and even the wages for migrant workers were saved and saved, and there was no concept of improving the investment environment and promoting economic development through consumption.
How have the common people seen such a good person, all of a sudden, the Lu brothers have become big celebrities in ten miles and eight towns, and they will come to the door if they have any difficulties.
However, the Lu brothers are not refusals.
The coal mine invested 500,000 yuan, and in the name of the village committee, made a fund, called the Pingba Village Relief Fund, and let Lu Hongjun take a group of old men as the council. If you want to borrow money, you can, go to the board of directors, you have to explain the reason why you borrowed money to a group of old men in the board of directors of the fund, and explain it clearly. First of all, you have to explain the reasons, and secondly, you have to provide the deadline and method of repayment, and after they have assessed it, you will be able to borrow money.
Those who are lazy and want to fight the autumn breeze either have unreliable reasons for borrowing money, or they don't have a serious job and can't guarantee repayment, how can they escape the eyes of those old men. In the end, I couldn't borrow money, and I couldn't complain about Lu Guoqing.
Don't look at the coal mine spending money like running water, it seems to lose money, but carefully calculated, the coal mine has a total of about 100 employees, the first year of coal production of 80,000 tons, gross income of 12 million yuan, salary expenses of about 1.5 million, machine depreciation, oil, electricity and other production costs are less than 500,000 (small coal kilns are mainly manpower to dig coal, so labor costs are the first), at that time there was no strict audit, casually reported an output value, the first annual report was not profitable, and the tax payment was only tens of thousands of yuan, mainly the sponsorship of various government departments, there must be hundreds of thousands, The interest of the bank loan of 1 million yuan is more than 70,000 yuan, and the remaining more than 9 million yuan is profit.
If you remove the more than 1 million yuan for building roads, doing charity, and building funds, there are still seven or eight million in the end, and the return on investment is almost 10 times.
Seeing that the villagers who work in the coal mines are treated like employees of state-owned enterprises in the city, and the conditions in the villages are getting better and better, some of the villagers who had gone to other places to work have returned.
However, the Pingba Coal Mine is so big, and it can't digest so many migrant workers, Lu Guoqing set up a construction team under the guidance of Lu Xiaofeng, purchased equipment, and then organized those idle migrant workers, invited two professional masters, and then trained and trained, even if the framework of a construction team is set up, build a few more houses in the future, and introduce a few more technical talents, won't it be upgraded to a construction company?
The coal mine pays for charity in the village, so how can it be done for others to do the work that was built? Fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders!
And after the villagers earn money, they will start to improve their lives, have a stable source of income, and borrow some money, they will dare to take out their savings to build new houses, and the first year of work of the construction team is basically to build houses for the villagers.
According to Lu Xiaofeng's proposal, it was done in one step, with a unified red brick house, the roof was covered with tiles, warm in winter and cool in summer, and tap water was connected from the town, and Pingba Village entered a new rural era in advance.
In such a cycle, most of the wages and donations sent out by the coal mine returned to the Lu brothers, which is the economic circulation.
Since 1998, the domestic economic development has slowed down, the demand for coal has declined, and the price has fallen by two percent.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Xiaofeng suggested that his father formally establish Qinghui Coal Industry Co., Ltd., successively acquired several small coal kilns, carried out reform and reorganization, redeployed manpower, and planned new transportation plans, and the production capacity reached 500,000 tons per year.
Lu Guoqing did not leave Lu Guohui alone, Lu Xiaofeng admired Lu Guohui's ability very much, in his previous life, Lu Guohui, who did not have any golden fingers, insisted on the end alone, and became the largest private mine owner in Tiecheng, in addition to forward-looking vision, but also indomitable perseverance.
With such a capable person, it is impossible for Lu Xiaofeng to give up, rather than letting him be a competitor, it is better to cooperate for a win-win situation and use it for me.
And Lu Guohui also admires his cousin's decisiveness and generosity, as well as his philanthropic nature, and he is also relieved to cooperate with him.
Therefore, this Qinghui Coal Industry Co., Ltd., Lu Guoqing invested 10 million, Lu Guohui invested 5 million, plus the shares of the largest Pingba coal mine, and finally Lu Guoqing accounted for 60% of the shares, and Lu Guohui accounted for 40% of the shares.
Although the price of coal fell, the Lu brothers did not reduce the wages of workers, but limited the production capacity, the production capacity of 500,000 yuan, only played more than half, the rate of return must have declined, but in the period of economic downturn, can have four or five times the rate of return, what do you want?
Lu Guoqing also asked the construction team to demolish the old house and build a small western-style building, a three-story small building with a garage and a back garden, which is comfortable and livable but low-key.
happened to meet the first batch of villas built in Tiecheng, Lu Xiaofeng inquired, and it was only a 10-minute drive from Tiecheng No. 1 Middle School, so he instigated his parents to buy one.
Splendid Huatang, a two-story single-family villa, with a basement, a garage, and a big back garden, the house price at that time was cheap, a flat was less than 2,000 yuan, and the house was less than 2 million, so it cost a little more money to decorate.
With a villa, how can you not have a luxury car?
I bought an imported Audi A6 and spent more than 400,000 yuan, in terms of the configuration of that era, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't look down on it, and the domestic cars after 20 years were much taller than it, and the appearance was a little dirty. However, Lu Guoqing felt that the atmosphere was stable and he liked it at a glance.
The whole family is equipped with a mobile phone again, which is the famous "signal king", Ericsson GF788, and the bare metal costs more than 5000. Because there are signals in the mountains, Lu Guoqing and Qin Li like it very much, this Lu Xiaofeng really can't stand it, he is used to using exquisite smart phones, seeing this black "mobile phone", it also has a thick antenna, think about the picture in your hand, and don't say anything. He would rather use a landline than be so ugly.
In those days, the nouveau riche were popular and did not show their wealth, and I am afraid that it was also the reason why they did not dare to do charity everywhere, after all, the security conditions were not very good, and everyone knew that you were rich, and you were targeted by bad people, but it was not safe.
Therefore, under Lu Xiaofeng's reminder, Lu Guoqing asked Zhou Zhengxing, a junior high school classmate who had been a soldier, to find more than a dozen comrades-in-arms who knew the roots, and made a bodyguard team.
