Chapter 64 Ten Questions: Is the coal boss the savior or nemesis of Shanxi's economy?

Coal bosses get rich because of Shanxi, and "Shanxi" becomes famous because of coal bosses. In the eyes of some people from other provinces, Shanxi, an unnamed province in central China, not only has the reputation of China's "sea of ​​coal", but also a "hometown of coal bosses" with a "long-standing reputation". Yes, a small impoverished province with a population of only 34 million has produced a large number of coal bosses with wealth of "100 million".No wonder someone once called "Coal Boss" the fourth largest "Shanxi specialty" after coal, aged vinegar and Fenjiu.

In this regard, some people asked, saying that if there are more rich people in Shanxi, will the economy of Shanxi "increase all boats"? The answer is obviously not. It should be emphasized that we have made such a conclusion based on the consideration of the coal bosses' negative impact on Shanxi's economic reality and Shanxi's humanistic trend of thought and spiritual awareness. We know that although Shanxi Province is a "big coal province", not every county or city produces coal.However, in order to form the overall "driving effect" of Shanxi's economy, it is impossible to have a positive effect on it only by relying on a few wealthy people.

From the current data, we know that Shanxi Province has a population of 34 million. Among them, those who can become coal rich people are like a drop in the bucket, and the families of the coal rich people who directly benefit from it are at most like "nine cows". Ermao".In short, this can only be regarded as a fraction of the total population of Shanxi Province. Another point worthy of our attention is that these rich coal tycoons "are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han". To put it bluntly, they are people who earn money in Shanxi, but go to other provinces for consumption, which leads to the transfer of a large amount of funds in Shanxi.

Authoritative media once reported that Shanxi coal tycoons went to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places to purchase real estate, transferring funds of no less than tens of billions of yuan each year. Together with other channels, it is estimated that these people transfer hundreds of billions of funds to other places outside Shanxi Province every year. Yuan Renminbi. At the same time, the destruction of Shanxi's coal resources by coal bosses and the pollution of the living environment of Shanxi people have become the most "realistic effect" on Shanxi's economy.In this regard, some Shanxi people once commented on these coal bosses: "The waste and destruction of resources is to encroach on the interests of the future, to cut off the way forward, and to grab the food of future generations, or to break the way for future generations." Some experts also pointed out , Today, Shanxi has long been an out-and-out polluting province. Environmental pollution has caused great pain and harm to the people of Shanxi and even the people of the whole country.

Let's analyze the negative impact of the "coal boss phenomenon" on Shanxi's humanistic thoughts and spiritual awareness. First of all, the extravagant consumption of the coal bosses is in contrast to the poverty of the common people in Shanxi. When the coal boss spends money like water outside the province, there is a different scene behind him: a large number of ordinary people in Shanxi are still suffering from illness and poverty. And the ecological damage caused by coal mining, such as the gradual increase of medical expenses in the case of reduced or even no harvest of arable land, has greatly increased the living costs of the local people, and the burden of the people has increased while their income has decreased, and so on.

Such a real polarization between the rich and the poor has seriously weakened the confidence of the masses in life. Secondly, the "low education" and "abnormal" style of "practice" of getting rich by coal bosses is in stark contrast to the learning style advocated in today's society.It is well known that coal bosses have a low level of education.The legendary myth of coal bosses getting rich overnight is surprising.All this shows that the “practice” of coal bosses getting rich with low education in Shanxi’s coal economic environment is incompatible with the world view and wealth view of “knowledge is power” and “science and technology are the primary productive forces” advocated by today’s society.

It is almost impossible for highly educated talents, at least it is difficult to become a coal rich man, because these highly educated talents generally do not have the personal conditions to walk in the "road of coal". Also, the fortunes of coal bosses are always inextricably linked to the corruption of local officials. In some places, the collusion between the government and the coal industry and the prevalence of "black money" have also caused many innocent Shanxi people to "fail" in "moral examination papers" and "provincial image power", thus deteriorating the image of Shanxi and even the entire country. image.

Locally, we have to face such a reality: every time a mining accident occurs, it is almost a "big start" of this kind of government-business collusion interest network.This cruel reality naturally runs counter to the healthy development concept of Shanxi's economy and society. So far, we can confidently and confidently answer the question "With the increase of rich people in Shanxi, will the economy of Shanxi 'rise with the tide'?" At this point, we can confidently and confidently answer the question "Is the coal boss the savior or nemesis of Shanxi's economy?"
