Chapter 619: The Western Mining Society
Such a big thing happened in the west, but the West Mining Association still held various drinking parties on a regular basis as before.
On the eastern outskirts of the city of Van Lier sits a huge "garden" with a variety of buildings and a square of high-quality lawns. People who often pass by here can faintly see in the distance on the greenery, there are some well-dressed gentlemen sitting together chatting, or these people take off their coats and ride horses to play polo in a small area, which is the headquarters of the Western Mining Association. The mine owners don't mind donating tens of thousands of dollars to maintain everything here, and this place also represents their face.
At this time, on a dirt slope, several mine owners wore shirts, horse clips, and delicate caps, wielding clubs to hit small balls far away. It was a new social sport from the Commonwealth, and it was well received within the Empire, and was very popular with the gentlemen and ladies of high society, and it was said that the feminist movement organization was planning to hold a women-dominated competition to promote feminism.
Like the people on the streets of the West, they were discussing the attack outside the town hall, but they all had a gloating expression and no trace of concern in their tones. Memnon's troubles are definitely good news for the West Mining Association, for the mine owners in the entire West, and it is a thing that can make people happy.
After he took control of several cities, he began to think about how to co-opt the mine guards, how to eliminate the private arming, and ensure that the official was the only officially armed force in the land. This idea was immediately opposed by almost all the mine owners, without whom their property and lives could not be guaranteed, and the horse bandits would visit their mines as if they were their own and plunder all their wealth.
Even if Memnon had come up with a half-way proposal for the state government to create a new department to protect the safety of the mines, the mine owners would only have to pay a management fee. In addition, the state government will adopt a "regional joint guarantee" approach to ensure and improve the safety index of major mining areas, and once a mining area is attacked, the nearby mining area will immediately send a part of the personnel to support the attacked mining area.
This idea is not inherently problematic, and it can even be said to be more efficient than the current mine owners' own ore protection team. After adopting the regional joint protection method, the number of security personnel in each mining area can be reduced on a large scale, and only need to be able to resist the attack from the outside for a certain period of time. It can be said that once this plan is implemented in all the mining areas in the west, the mine owners will have less expenses and at the same time the safety factor will increase.
Plans are plans because plans are always good, but they are not so acceptable. No one wants to pin their property and life on a party that has carried out terrorist attacks, and there really is nothing that the Kadima Party has been able to do to convince everyone before. But even if they do, people still won't accept it, and weapons are always safest when they hold the muzzle of the gun in their hands.
So Memnon's plan failed, and the miners' lack of cooperation led directly to the failure of his other big plan. Some time ago, probably a few years ago, when Mennon was still actively promoting this plan, his idea was to use such a special department, or even set up an independent company, to replace the group of privately armed mine owners in the West Mining Association, and at the same time, he could use this incident to make his private armed forces public, and not let people find any way to disclose and attack him.
As a minority party, he still has a deep sense of self-preservation, and once the new party or the old party thinks that it is the best choice to eradicate him and the Move Forward Party, he can at least pull out a group of armed forces to fight against him anytime and anywhere, or even divide the country.
When his plan failed, he began to find ways to toss the mine owners, such as raising the minimum number of jobs from 15 jobs per square kilometer to 55 jobs per square kilometer, and also enacted other policies that made the mine owners very irritated. These policies don't hurt mine owners, but they do make them feel disgusted, just as a bite of shit doesn't necessarily kill you, but it is absolutely unacceptable.
This time Memnon was in big trouble, and everyone was very happy, and it was time for the bastard to feel the pain too.
A gentleman who looked to be in his forties waved his cue and knocked the bulging ball flying, and several people looked at the falling white ball in the distance, he waved his arm vigorously, "a very beautiful ......", and he handed the cue to the caddie next to him, let the caddie hold it for him, and took the towel and wiped his face by the way.
"I heard that Mr. Hendry, your No. 3 mine can't be dug up?", the person next to him suddenly said, causing the gentleman's face to change slightly.
However, he nodded very sincerely and confirmed the matter, "There is a big gap between the results of exploration at that time and the current reality, and there is still more than one million yuan to recover the cost, but I don't plan to continue to explore the surrounding places, even if I can find new deposits, I am afraid it will not be long to excavate, and maybe I will continue to expand the losses." ”
Mr. Hendry's words immediately intrigued several of his friends around him, and the people who worked in the western mines were not most worried about the horse bandits, but because they would not be able to push a minecart full of ore in their mines, which hurt them more than anything else. No ore means no output, and there will be all kinds of commissions paid continuously, which also means that the mine is finished.
Poor Mr. Roel caused a horrific mining disaster because he couldn't dig anything, yes, "made"! Within the Western Mining Association, the word "manufacture" was used very definitely in this matter, and everyone knew very well that the accident that happened in Mr. Roel's mine was a man-made disaster and the purpose was to defraud the insurance.
The term insurance fraud has also begun to become popular within the West Mining Association, and even some small mine owners are studying this matter, if one day they can't dig anything in the mine, can they also try to create a mining disaster, and then finally make a profit, with a huge amount of compensation to leave the west to invest in some industry in the south and other things. It is said that the light industry in the south is very hot now, and the investment does not need much but can see a huge amount of returns.
In particular, some brand garment companies, they produce some low-end brands with a certain reputation in large quantities of ready-to-wear garments, and it is hard to believe that the sales volume in the society is good, but it will also bring a series of problems. For example, the brand's influence in high society has plummeted, after all, not everyone who is willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to customize a dress is willing to wear the same brand as ordinary people on the side of the road, which is a bit lower their grade.
But that doesn't matter much to the investors and brand owners, who are said to make far more money from the common people and the middle class than they make from high-class customizations for the powerful.
"Mr. Hendry, what are you going to do with your No. 3 mine?", a guy beside Hendry asked with great concern, as if sensing Hendry's somewhat vigilant gaze, he immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, my mine has also entered the countdown, and it will stop producing completely in half a year to a year at most......"
With the exception of Yaojing, any vein will be dug up one day, especially some small veins, which may be just one deposit. However, when exploring, no one can guarantee that the results of their exploration will be correct, and there is a certain speculative nature of mining itself, and there will always be some people who bet their "future" on a large ore deposit.
Mr. Hendry's gaze was a little softer, and he looked around, and the caddies were very amusemented and far away, leaving only the big ones. The big names also surrounded Hendry, and his gaze stayed on the faces of these people for a moment before he lowered his voice and whispered, "I plan to sell Mine No. 3 to Durin." Doolin, do you know this man?"
Dulin, many people in the West Mining Association have never seen him, but almost everyone has heard of this name, thinking that the members of the Western Mining Association have asked all members to prohibit trading with Dulin. The reason for this prohibition is nothing more than that as soon as Durin arrived in the west, he killed Andorra and seized his mines, without giving any reply in person, and without taking the people here into account at all. Secondly, after Dulin got the mine in Andorra, he did not come to the West Mining Association to report in person, nor did he mention that he wanted to join the West Mining Association, which simply did not take the West Mining Association seriously.
You must know that the West Mining Association seems to be a loose organization similar to the nature of the mine owner's salon, but in fact, this organization has a great right to speak about the mineral resources in the west, and any industry will have such an organization, they represent the interests of the majority of people, and provide services for them, and then use their influence to price the goods in the industry, simply put, the West Mining Association is similar to an industry union, and at the same time has the ability to monopolize the industry.
How much ore is produced each year, who to sell to, and at what price is traded, the West Mining Association will give "instructive" suggestions.
Except for those big conglomerates and big capitalists who produce and sell their own products, and the strength of the Western Mining Association is not as good as theirs, so they are laissez-faire, most of the mine owners must join the Western Mining Association and trade according to the rules of the Western Mining Association, which is an unspoken rule that is customary in the west.
If it weren't for the Imperial Empire's promulgation of the "Anti-Industry Manipulation Act" and the newly sorted out "Anti-Monopoly Law" last year, the West Mining Association would have let Du Lin understand what it means to have something that cannot be sold!
