Chapter 663: Industriousness and Courage II
When I woke up the next morning, I found three wolf corpses downstairs, and another dead wolf was found in the forest not far away.
Everyone watched the wolf corpse for a long time, touching it with their hands and kicking it twice from time to time, and there was only one topic to discuss: "Can wolf meat be eaten?"
Two former soldiers slung automatic rifles over their shoulders, ready to fight.
Wang Weidong and Goncharova took them to the big pit that was mined dozens of meters deep.
In order to open a mine, blasting is required to expose the surface soil and other rock formations, so the pit is considered to have just been mined.
Holes are drilled and blasted in the ore seam, and the ore is then loaded with an excavator and transported along the winding road to the surface.
Mining is easy, but it's also a lot of work, and the rock and soil layer that covers the ore layer will also be transported away by the mining blast, leaving a huge pit on the surface in the future, like an ice cream bucket.
"It is better for more than 100 people to work in three or four small shifts, and each shift is responsible for different tasks. Prepare for the first few days and get to work when all the equipment is ready! Wang Weidong said.
The road in the pit needs to be repaired, there is still a section of the circuit that has not been erected to get here, and all kinds of equipment have to be installed in place, and there is no way to punch holes and blast in the rock without a compressor fan.
All the more than 100 people began to divide into two parts, one with a shovel and a pickaxe to repair the road, and the other to carry equipment.
Wang Weidong looked back, but several tall truck drivers brought by Goncharova stood by them as if nothing had happened and did not come to work.
"A few of them are only responsible for driving." Goncharova said.
"These guys are the most laid-back, and I'm sure you're paying them the highest!" Wang Weidong said dissatisfiedly.
"This is the land of our great northern country, and you are outsiders!" Goncharova said.
What Goncharova is saying is the typical mentality of the people of the northern countries now, which is supposed to be beneficial to both sides, but they feel that you are here to take advantage of them.
"Without these workers, you can't pull out a cart of ore by relying on these lazier guys than bears!" Wang Weidong said.
"There are many Chinese, and there are many people who are willing to work here." Goncharova said.
Just when Wang Weidong wanted to retort angrily, a man in his thirties slowly approached Wang Weidong with a flattering smile on his face.
"Boss, I'll discuss something with you." The man said.
"What's the matter!" Wang Weidong said angrily.
Looking at Wang Weidong's reaction, that person regretted a little, and felt that the hot face was sticking to the cold buttocks.
But since the first step has been taken, we can only go on with it.
He pulled Wang Weidong farther away, then pointed to the big pit and said, "The amount of mining work is too large!" More than 100 of us may not be enough, and as we mine, the pit will get bigger and bigger, and more people will be needed! ”
Wang Weidong now clearly realized that this person must not have reported to him that this work could not be done, but made suggestions to him.
"What do you think should be done?" Wang Weidong asked.
Sure enough, hearing Wang Weidong's question, the man pointed into the distance.
"Look at the exposed rock formation, the rock formation should be inclined in that direction, dig a section with an excavator more than 200 meters away, and then blast horizontally, I think you can encounter the gold layer after digging more than 100 meters!" The man said.
"Then you can mine underground along the ore layer, which has advantages and disadvantages compared to open-pit mining, but I think the benefits are more, at least the transportation volume is much smaller, and most of the stones are left below without having to be transported, just transporting the ore!" And the temperature in the underground tunnels is higher than the surface, and it can be dry for a few more months! The man continued.
Wang Weidong stared at the man's face for several seconds without speaking.
"Brother, what is your surname?" Wang Weidong asked.
"Don't have your surname Zhang, Zhang Hong has, is there any!" The man replied.
Wang Weidong didn't know anything about mining, but he instinctively felt that Zhang Hongyou's opinion was feasible.
He turned around and told Goncharova Zhang Hongyou's opinion, Goncharova didn't know about mining, she was thinking about what the people here used to do, and how they still do.
However, the weather in Magadan is minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius or even 50 degrees Celsius most of the year, and open pit mining is not possible at all, so it would be good if the underground excavation was done for a few more months.
"It turns out that there are at least 100,000 miners and many technicians in Magadan, so why is there no place for underground mining?" Wang Weidong asked.
Goncharova couldn't answer this question, but she knew that it was definitely not the people of the northern countries who liked to be simple and rude, and many of the people who came here to work as miners had problems with their thinking, so there were many military and supervisory personnel stationed in Magadan back then.
Open-pit mining is easy to supervise, but underground mining, where the roadways are like a maze, how can they be regulated?
However, it is impossible for her to tell Wang Weidong this judgment in her heart.
"Do you think this is possible?" Wang Weidong asked.
Goncharova thought for a while, looked at Zhang Hongyouyou and asked, "How long will it take to dig to see the gold layer?" ”
After listening to Wang Weidong's reaction, Zhang Hongyou replied: "One and a half months." ”
Goncharova said: "I see gold deposits in a month, and this month I see 30,000 people per person!" ”
After listening to Wang Weidong's translation, Zhang Hongyou looked at the gentle slope and said: "Excavating from 200 meters away, the slope is 200 meters, and the right-angled side is about 150 meters, and the average daily excavation is more than 5 meters, which requires rails and minecarts. ”
"I'll get these things in ten days." Goncharova said.
"It's not a big problem to start digging dozens of meters without railroad rails, but if you don't have it in the future, you can't do it! Boss, I've worked in gold mines before, I've worked in coal mines, and I've been a vice-captain, and if you put me in charge of this, I'll be able to see the gold mines within a month! Zhang Hongyou said to Wang Weidong.
Wang Weidong, who has been a boss for so many years, certainly understands the workers.
I will do whatever you ask me to do most of the workers, and he knows that it is wrong, but he will do it correctly, and the responsibility is not on him anyway.
Is it that the person who made the suggestion will be reused? In fact, this is often not the case!
That's why everyone chooses to shut up!
However, Wang Weidong chose to reuse Zhang Hongyou, and whoever can create benefits will be reused.
"Okay, I'll announce it in a moment, your income is five thousand more than theirs a month! You pick a few people yourself, and I will give them appropriate additional work! Wang Weidong said.
"Boss, it's better to have a piecework method, I just said that if you see 30,000 people in the mine layer a month, the total number is more than 3 million. One hundred and fifty meters, an average of one meter is 20,000 yuan. Why don't I tell them that they will work day and night in three shifts, and they will be given 10,000 yuan for one meter of excavation, and more than 30 people in a class will have an average of 300 per person, and they will definitely go crazy! Zhang Hongyou suggested.
This suggestion of his saved half of the money for Wang Weidong Goncharova at once!
Wang Weidong looked at Zhang Hongyou, he is really a smart and capable traitor!
"Hong You, it's all handed over to you, you have 50,000 yuan a month!" Wang Weidong patted Zhang Hongyou on the shoulder and said.
