Since he intends to use the grassland as a base camp to operate, Zhao Mingke urgently needs a large number of people and various resources.

He had already learned about the situation on the grasslands, and the resources on the grasslands could not support the growing tribal population of the herders by grazing alone.

Coupled with the inconvenience of trade, it was often slaughtered as fat sheep by merchants who came from the north.

Now that such a coal mine has been discovered, Zhao Ming's mind has become active.

Hearing Zhao Ming say this at this time, Boss Guo nodded thoughtfully.

"Chief Zhao, of course I know the value of coal mines, and the most urgent coal mine should be in Shanghai, followed by our factories in the northeast.

Not only the coastal cities, but also some industrial cities in the central part of the country with production capacity also have markets, and they can also generate electricity for various power facilities in the city. Not only that, but the coal can also be sold to the citizens of every city.

It's just that Sir Zhao, I still say the same thing, the cost and the benefit are not proportional. ”

Saying that, Boss Guo seemed to be afraid that Zhao Ming would not understand, so he broke his fingers again and began to calculate the account for Zhao Ming.

"Let's take the example of the price of coal mines in our northeast that I know.

The large coal on the Yangquan Mountain side is 2.6 yuan, the small coal is 2 yuan, the crushed coal is 1.5 yuan, and the loose coal is 0.5 yuan. The freight from their mine to Fengtai is 8.1 yuan, and the freight is 9.5 yuan to Jinmen, which is far more expensive than the price of coal!

Not only that, the quality of Pingding coal is very good, the price of ore is two or three, ten to Shimen, and twenty to Beiping.

If it is a large transaction, it is not bad, for example, the coal mining company along Zhengtai Road Coal transports more than 150 trucks of coal every day, and the gross profit of each car is 60 yuan.

They had a car of 16.8 tons, 20 tons per car in the later stage, and various taxes were 34.627 yuan.

The gross profit of 60 yuan per car, you calculate, and then remove the freight of 10 to 20 yuan, plus taxes, the net profit of transporting a car is about 20 yuan.

And that's not counting manpower, counting manpower, based on the calculation of nearly hundreds or thousands of workers in a mine, five oceans per person per month.

This month, if you can't do 10,000 tons, the profit is almost negligible, if it is less than 5,000 tons, how to squeeze the cost is a blood loss!

Chief Zhao, do you still think this is a good deal?"

Boss Guo obviously learned about the situation with the personnel engaged in the mine, and the analysis was reasonable, and he almost explained the stakes.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but clapped his palms.

"Not bad! Boss Guo is right, it seems that in the future, I will be the general manager of Chabei United Mining Company! ”

"Huh?"

Boss Guo was stunned, why is this the company's general office?

"Ahem, Chief Zhao, you still don't understand what I mean, this ....."

Boss Guo wanted to persuade again, but Zhao Ming had already taken the lead in interrupting,

"Boss Guo, what if I say that my labor cost is almost nothing?"

"The labor cost is just one of them, and you still don't.... Belch... Well? What did you say, Sir Zhao? ”

Listening to it, Boss Guo felt as if he had heard something wrong, and he was busy looking at Zhao Ming.

He seemed to have heard some fantastical news.

Zhao Ming smiled again and repeated, "That's right, what I said about Boss Guo is that the labor cost is almost nothing!" ”

"This.... This.... How is this possible? ”

Boss Guo was stunned, and he couldn't help but start guessing in his heart.

Could it be that Chief Zhao plans to engage in dictatorship in the grassland? But how dare he?

It's not the same as before, and the position of ranch manager is not that big, even if it was before, if you dare to do this, how much money do you have to stuff to shut up?

What's more, if you offend the local herdsmen, is it difficult to achieve it without fear of accidents?

"Brother Zhao, don't make mistakes for some petty profits!" Zhang Kai also understood what this meant, and his face was a little uncomfortable.

He came here to help Zhao Ming gain a firm foothold, and he also wanted to settle these retired brothers.

Before leaving, Chief Song and Brigade Commander Liu talked to him about this in detail.

Originally, there was indeed a quota for disarmament, but it was not necessarily their department, but it was only because the Song chief seemed to have a layout in the grassland, so he took the dismissed Zhen Song army to the north to Zhao Ming.

He was responsible for bringing people over, and if there were many people who wanted to leave in the spring of the following year, he would take the brothers south and return to their hometown.

Zhang Kai also understood that the Song chief seemed to want to try Zhao Ming's ability, and if he had the ability, he would eat this retreating Zhensong army, and if he didn't have the ability, it would have never happened.

Now it seems that Zhang Kai is a little panicked, and he still wants to come over to get some benefits from Zhao Ming.

After all, he came all the way to help send people in, and he didn't want to fill himself in.

But according to Zhao Ming's approach, maybe he will have to be finished with it.

"Huh! Where do you want to go? I, Zhao Ming, haven't been so desperate! ”

Zhao Ming shook his head, he knew very well what these two people were thinking.

The herdsmen were trained properly in the future, and they were all his descendants, so how could they let the amiable herdsmen do such menial work.

"That.... What do you think? This person...."Boss Guo was a little puzzled.

Then he saw Zhao Ming pointing to the men and women who were busy building shacks not far away.

It's just that this is even more puzzling for the two, what does it mean?

Seeing Zhao Ming continue, "A small part of the work here is the herdsmen of our Chabei United Department, and more are prisoners of war!" ”

"Prisoner of War ?!!"

Boss Guo was shocked when he heard this, and Zhang Kai was also stunned.

But soon the two of them figured out what was going on, and the two of them, who didn't care about the mining plan at all, suddenly lit up.

"This is the last time we fought with the Outer Mongolian enemy cavalry, the number of Outer Mongolians captured one after another, the number has reached nearly 1,000 one after another.

So many people can't let them eat and drink for nothing! ”

Zhao Ming said with a smile and shook his head.

There were two encounters with the Outer Mongolians that night, and the actual number of people killed was not very many, more captured, followed by many people who fled.

Just like now, it is these prisoners of war who really do the manual work, and most of the herdsmen in the tribe are overseers, or busy with trivial tasks.

Thousands of people....

When you hear this number, it's clear what it means.

No matter how cheating and tricking these people are, the mining rate will not be less than 100 tons a day, and 3,000 tons a month is not a problem.

If there is no need to withhold food and drink, give these prisoners of war certain living conditions, and do not do those things that are exhaustive, it is not impossible to raise 5,000 or even 8,000 tons a month.

Five thousand to eight thousand tons a month, which is already profitable.

But after all, Boss Guo is in business, and he thinks a lot about many things, and he still has many concerns.
