Chapter 74 "Mature" people in the "black gold" society

This is an embarrassing reality: Shanxi's per capita GDP ranks after the 25th in the country, but Shanxi's world's top luxury cars rank in the forefront of the country. Half flame, half sea water. Some media once said that when coal bosses bought one house at a time in Beijing and "cleared it out", there were several coal accidents in his hometown every year, making hundreds of miners the pits. wronged soul. What makes the wealth "dream" of the coal bosses come true is a "black gold" economic environment that is severely misaligned under the current coal policy mechanism and market conditions.

This is the same as the principle that mathematical, physical and chemical formulas must be established under certain conditions. We can imagine that when every ton of coal produced under a certain condition can earn hundreds of yuan in pure profits for the coal bosses, how much money they have? How majestic the Fortune Building will be! So far, the "black gold" phenomenon in the local coal policy and economic life has quietly surfaced, thus entering the public's field of vision. While paying attention to the phenomenon of "black gold", we must first understand another version of this phenomenon: "collusion between officials and businessmen".

Some experts say that collusion between officials and businessmen has existed since ancient times, and it has been accompanied by the development of Chinese society.In the minds of certain social classes, there is no easier way to accumulate wealth than the form and means of "collusion between officials and businessmen".In some coal-producing areas, this kind of "government-business collusion" is also called "government-coal collusion". "For a long time, most of the management of mineral resources in our country has been allocated to the coal production department for free in the form of administrative orders. Nowadays, although mineral resources are now used for compensation, but because the implementation of 'mining first and then paying fees' ’ policy, which effectively lowers the ‘entry’ threshold for entering the mining industry.”

An expert who has studied Shanxi's economic phenomena for a long time said. Therefore, under such a background, coal bosses have completed the "quick get rich" in this "low-cost depression", and it is possible to realize their dream of "high income" to make a fortune. This means that whoever has the resources has the possibility of "getting rich overnight". With money, the business will have greater development, and their own small coal mines will have a "name", so the coal bosses will try to obtain licenses, and at this time the local officials who hold relevant powers will inevitably become their "names". rent-seeking” objects.

Sure enough, the "incense" burned by the coal boss really "appeared". Maybe it's because the "magic power" of the "laws of heaven and heaven" is too weak, so these "immortals" who can't bear the loneliness begin to "think about the world" in the lower realm? In the local area, it is not gods who "think of the world" in these lower realms, but our "parents". Due to the absence or inadequacy of relevant supervision, some officials who have the power to allocate resources have become rich and obeyed the coal bosses against their will, "privatizing" the power given by the party and the government.

From the analysis of the deep-seated reasons behind the frequent mine disasters, it seems not difficult for us to get the answer: the reason why many coal mine owners dare to operate illegally and overload production regardless of safety is because behind them there are people, big or small, or many A small number of local officials are secretly supporting it. In the local area, these officials have direct or indirect links with the mine owners in countless economic interests, and many government officials even directly own shares in the coal mines. With the backing of officials, coal bosses have the arrogance to bully the world.

Therefore, while pursuing the maximization of profits in the process of coal production, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of miners and the interests of the country. In specific economic life, "officials" and "businessmen" "get what they need," and "power" and "money" "exchange what they need." This is the so-called "black gold effect." The obvious manifestation of the "black gold effect" is the "complementary marriage" of coal wealth and government administrative resources, which leads coal bosses to take risks and act recklessly in the production process.

In the specific operation process, they "turned a blind eye and closed one eye" to the violations of the coal bosses, and some even opened the door for the coal bosses.This kind of blatant appeasement and connivance has become the "actual accomplice" of these lawbreakers to a certain extent. So far, we can conclude that the country's flaws and loopholes in the industry management system are the source of the "official coal collusion". Facts have proved that the "natural" emergence of "official coal collusion" must provide some kind of "catalysis" for the "objective formation" of the "black gold economic phenomenon".At the same time, due to the emergence of the "black gold" phenomenon, it will inevitably lead to the "overall alienation" of the thinking and behavior of group organizations within a certain range of society.The main signs of this "overall alienation" are the rapid expansion of individual or collective desire for wealth and the "absolute distortion and deformation" of social values.

Everything depends on money, and everything depends on money. Everyone takes pride in speculating and plundering, and everyone takes privilege to do things and make friends with powerful people, which leads to inequality in society, loss of public morality, and distortion of life values. It is worrying and depressing. When people were extremely "fatigue" from the "Ukiyo-e" in this "chaotic world" state, a generation of "mature" people in the "black gold" society appeared.In the local area, ordinary people have an indescribable emotion towards the coal bosses. It cannot be called "hatred of the rich", let alone "suspicious of the rich", but more of a kind of indifference and numbness.

The common people's attitude towards these rich people around them is "you take your sunny path, and I will take my single-plank bridge". When it comes to specific actions, everyone goes their own way.You dig yours, I dig mine, I don't "hate" you, you don't bully me, there is plenty of coal under your feet and in front of you, you dig and I dig, let's all come together, such a "mature" citizen has achieved a "million-dollar" Help the prosperity of the society. This cannot but be said to be a kind of "Shanxi-style sorrow".
