Coal in the 90s was called black gold, and there was a period of windfall profits between the 80s and 90s.

As early as 1993, the volume of small coal mines by collectives and individuals surpassed that of key state-owned coal mining industries.

But this kind of windfall profits only lasted until the Asian financial crisis in 97, the demand for coal and steel plummeted, and under the vigorous rectification of policies, many private coal mines lost money.

Today's mines, with a lack of supervision, chaotic systems, and no safety measures at all, are almost all black mines.

......

Xiao Zhuang really went to the mine the next day and quit his job.

Li Mu didn't feel that it hurt him to lose his job, and as for the other people in the mine, he couldn't control everyone in the current environment.

It's just that there was a small episode when Xiaozhuang quit work.

The mine manager asked him the reason for leaving, and the simple Xiaozhuang replied that he was going to leave the mine to do business with Li Mu, and reminded Li Mu that the mine would collapse sooner or later.

So the "upright" Xiaozhuang was beaten.

......

"Brother Mu, where are you going to get rich next?"

After being beaten, Xiao Zhuang didn't feel anything, just patted his body, and came back to find Li Mu.

At this time, Li Mu was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard to recuperate, he didn't go out today, thinking about the follow-up cause, he saw Xiao Zhuang's face in front of him red and swollen, and couldn't help but be angry: "Who did it?" Someone who dares to hit me! ”

The angry Li Mu immediately stood up from the chair with a lame leg, and the chair behind him completely fell apart because of the excessive force.

"Brother Mu, forget it, it's just a small thing, it's not worth mentioning."

Xiao Zhuang hurriedly waved his hand, not wanting to cause trouble.

How could Li Mu, who was cute and cherishing his wings, be able to bear this kind of anger, he said angrily: "Those people dare to beat you today, and they will dare to beat us tomorrow, tell my brother quickly......

Who is it?

If I'm not mistaken, Niu Erzhu did it, right? ”

Niu Erzhu in the same village relied on his brother-in-law to be the village head, and he was domineering in the village, and he was even more arrogant after the mining in the village in the past two years.

Relying on the advantage of power, he opened a factory, and some coal mines will be collected in the mine and processed and resold, which is equivalent to a coal washing plant with half a barrel of water.

Because of this, whenever the reputation of the mine is threatened, Niu Erzhu will always rush ahead.

At the beginning of the day, Li Mu's land was also occupied by two pigs and built a factory.

"Brother Mu, how do you know?"

Xiao Zhuang was extremely surprised, he didn't expect Brother Mu to be so powerful.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Mu directly burst out, new hatred and old hatred poured into his heart, and then picked up a wooden stick with a thick calf from the side of the house and rushed to the mine.

"Brother Mu, Brother Mu!"

Xiao Zhuang wanted to dissuade him, but after hesitating for a while, he rushed into the house and turned out a firewood knife and closely followed Li Mu's footsteps.

......

"That stupid big pillar at the end of the village is a fool, dare to say that Lao Tzu is a black coal kiln, neurotic!"

"Brother Erzhu, it's not, the stupid pillar is a psychopath, and the waste surnamed Zhuang is mixed with him, it's amazing!"

"Hahaha!"

On the outskirts of the mine, Niu Erzhu and several young people from the same village were smoking Huazi in the corner, seemingly unaware of the ban on smoking in the mine.

Niu Erzhu had a big gold chain around his neck, and he was laughing loudly at this time, when suddenly he was hit on the shoulder.

"Oops!"

The second pig grinned in pain, turned his head, and saw Li Mu holding a wooden stick.

"Waste, I don't think you want to live, let's go up together and kill him!"

Niu Erzhu waved his hand, and the humble waste of the past dared to do something to him, and his anger was indescribable.

He clenched his fists and was about to hit, but the next moment, he was hit with a stick again, and hurriedly squatted down in pain.

Several young people from the same village beside him directly benefited from Niu Erzhu's mine, and just wanted to step forward, but heard Li Mu shouting:

"Lao Tzu is really insane, I see who dares to come! Lao Tzu doesn't have to pay for his life when he kills someone, you weigh it carefully. ”

Li Mu pointed at a group of people with a wooden stick, looking like he was out of the way, and everyone stopped.

The villagers of this era have a strong style and an honest side, and when they heard Lu Zhou say this, they believed half of it.

Besides, everyone is from the same village, and they know the roots, I heard that Li Mu is now alone, and it is normal to do something extreme.

"Erzhu, this is too violent, we can't do anything about it."

"Erzhu, you must hold on!"

A group of young people hurriedly retreated.

As soon as Zhuang Shiming caught up with the firewood knife, he saw Li Mu stepping on the second pig with his feet, and the wooden stick in his hand kept greeting.

The two pigs are about to be beaten into real pig heads.

He suddenly felt that the wood knife was a little redundant.

"Oops, oops!"

Niu Erzhu's wail soon attracted more and more onlookers.

Li Mu has already made up his mind not to stay, it is just a small mining village, and it is a big deal to go away and move to the city, which is just convenient for business.

Afraid of death and not in business!

The wooden stick raised high was about to fall on the knee joint of the second pig, and at the same moment, behind Li Mu, the coal mine that was being mined collapsed.

"Oh no, no, the mine has collapsed!"

People looked frightened and cried out in despair.

The dust and sand rose more than ten zhang high behind Li Mu, and at this time, he was raising the wooden stick high, like a god of judgment.

......

Ertong Village had two major events in one day that were rare in ten years.

The first thing was that the mine collapsed.

Fortunately, because Li Mu was making trouble at that time, the coal miners were all watching the excitement outside, and except for one person who was accidentally crushed and broke his leg, no one died.

What a blessing!

The second thing is that Li Mu predicted the occurrence of the mining disaster, and I am afraid that there is nothing to say about it.

In fact, on the way home, Li Mu observed that the columns at the exit of the mine were constantly falling soil, and the bulldozers were constantly working.

Mines with little security.

It's strange if it doesn't collapse!

I don't know how many private coal mines have collapsed in recent years, so the state only took advantage of the financial crisis to vigorously rectify it in '97.

Li Mu ignored the gossip outside.

At this time, in the deserted small courtyard, Li Mu asked Zhuang Shiming to borrow a blackboard.

The amount of money spent to build a wafer fab was too much, and the time was short, so Li Mu's original plan was to take the design plan and lobby contemporary entrepreneurs.

This is the most straightforward and fastest method.

However, the current economic aggregate is very limited, and the concept of building a semiconductor factory can be used as a cover for making money.

Without a little industry of its own, it is not enough to cut the leeks of entrepreneurs.

Moreover, to lobby entrepreneurs, they must also have a certain amount of capital and a certain status in order to communicate with each other.

At this time, the blackboard was centered on Ertong Village, and a topographic map of each village and town market all the way to the urban area was drawn.

It's also easy to see how much business can be done in the city as a whole.

In this era, the individual economy has just emerged, many private shops have sprung up, and urban consumption has also increased.

Li Mu plans to make a batch of tofu machine equipment first, and promote it in the towns and villages around the city, where the housing area is large, and the finished tofu can be sold to the city.

Zhuang Shiming, as a transport driver, rides a tricycle every day to help Li Mu go out to find old mechanical parts.

Li Mu's money was definitely not enough, so he raised 300 yuan from Xiaozhuang's salary in the mine.

Within three days, Li Mu relied on the system plan and rubbed out a tofu machine by hand.
