Chapter 18 Three fathers and sons earn 500,000 in half a year

On the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, Wang Fuqing's family in the south of Shengli Village is like "the magpie climbs the branches, and the God of wealth knocks on the door". The coal mining "hole" that the father and son spent half a year on was spotted by two foreign investors with southern accents, and the two parties sold it for 400,000 yuan. Old man Wang is sixty-two this year. His ancestors made a living by building caves for others. Now that he is in his generation, he has been "rolling" in the kiln mound for thirty or forty years. Time came to the 1980s, when the international energy market was extremely hot, and Shanxi's coal industry also "rised all boats", taking advantage of the momentum to heat up.

Relying on the ability to "see mountains" that he has cultivated in digging caves for others for decades, he "sees" a place at the foot of the mountain, so he uses his strengths-digging! A month later, when the father and son dug to the bottom of the hole nearly 100 meters deep, the black and shiny coal layer appeared in front of their noses! Months of hard work were finally not in vain, and the father and son wept in relief. "Seeing coal" in the crevices of the stone is like picking up a night pearl in the middle of the night.And having coal means that the father and son have the gold and silver treasures to control their own life and destiny.While the father and son were overjoyed, another problem was before them: if large-scale mining is to be carried out, nearly one million dollars must be invested.

When the old man Wang Fuqing was worried about money, two southerners came to his door this afternoon and asked to buy their ready-made mining "hole". After discussing with his son, old man Wang said they could talk. After that, for three consecutive days, the two men wandered around the pit mouth, conducting detailed investigations on coal quality, output, transportation, water supply and drainage, electricity and other mining factors. In fact, old man Wang didn't want to sell this "hole".However, he knew that if he did it himself, he would face a lot of financial pressure. Besides, the third child would still need to spend money to get married, so now is the time to spend money.But at this time, if you sell the "kouzi", you will solve your urgent need. Besides, as long as you have strength, you can find such "kouzi" in your hometown.

There is a saying, "If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." Besides, the two people who bought the "Kuuzi" were also experts. They asked for the price of the "Kuuzi" to be lowered to 400,000 yuan, but they didn't get the consent of Old Man Wang at that time. When the negotiations between the two parties came to a stalemate on the price, they looked at the coal seam under the pit and said that the mining would be "excessive" in a short time.And this project must be undertaken by some first-class miners with "digging skills", which is exactly the "strength" of Wang Laohan and his son.

On this day, the two of them came to the old man Wang's house and made a final statement, saying that they would give priority to "cooperating" with Wang's father and son with a contract fee of 100,000 yuan for the "Guolong" project under the pit. At this time, old man Wang couldn't afford it anymore, because his future in-laws urged him three times in a row to marry his daughter as soon as possible, and it was this money that he was short of. In this way, the "business" was closed. Therefore, the other party advanced half of the wages for the "Guolong" project to them.

The day for paying the money is set on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the transaction place between the two parties is outside the pit. "Pay the money with one hand and pay the pit with one hand."After getting the cash, Old Man Wang asked his three sons to put on the kiln clothes, stuff the money into their crotches, and return home after dark. In fact, in the local area, there are often people who specialize in selling "holes", and there are quite a few of them. It is really not worthwhile for Wang and his son to spend their precious time and energy on the "crossing ridge" project.
