Chapter 135 Who moved the job of the coal boss

On the way back to Shanxi from Beijing, Wang Dali was full of imagination. Secretary Wang gave him all the details of the coal reform in Shanxi. It seems that the ruler of Shanxi is going to do it this time.I have bluffed about reform and reform a few times before, but they were all thunderous and rainy, and there was only thunder but no rain.As a coal boss who has worked in Shanxi for decades, Wang Dali is well aware of how difficult it is to reform coal in Shanxi. All reforms will involve those with vested interests. The coal reform in Shanxi will shake the vested interests of a large number of coal bosses. Monkey Sun who has been cultivated in the furnace is not far behind.They all have one or even several backers behind them. Without these, how could they gain a foothold in Shanxi?

In Shanxi, which coal boss is not deeply rooted?There are too many chains of interest here.As the saying goes, it is easier to invite God than to give it away, and the reform will inevitably sacrifice the interests of these people. If you cut off their money, they will definitely obstruct the reform.This is for sure. It is said that the coal boss is rich, yes, this is true. The coal boss spends a lot of money and spends a lot of money.This is also true. They stay in Beijing's Wangfu Hotel, Guomao Hotel, Guangzhou's China Hotel, Swan Hotel and other five-star hotels all year round.A table of meals can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

When you get tired of eating at home, you go to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou; when you get tired of eating at home, you go abroad, such as Xinmatai, America and Europe, just fly.Their main dish is no longer abalone and shark fin, but snowflake beef tenderloin from Kobe, Japan. It is said that this kind of cow is "raised by drinking milk, listening to music, and being massaged by the owner every day". The meat is fresh and tender, melts in the mouth, and is rich in nutrition. They play with women, and when the young lady has had enough, they play with young girls.Blonde American girls are a dozen at a time.

The karaoke halls in Shanxi are the most famous in the whole country. In Taiyuan alone, there are tens of thousands of karaoke halls of all sizes in the city.The coal boss is a frequent visitor to these karaoke bars and saunas. Not to mention other bathing centers, footwashing houses, dance halls, and hair salons.Without these coal bosses, these so-called tertiary industries would not be so prosperous. Wang Dali has heard of such a thing: Once, on a whim, a certain leader in Shanxi planned to arrest a group of prostitutes, and the girls in the karaoke hall fled with cash.Unexpectedly, the bank was in a hurry-more than 100 million of the bank's deposits were withdrawn a day!

It can be seen that those who are engaged in the smoke-free industry in Shanxi can also bring a lot of tax revenue to Shanxi! You said, without money, can the coal boss do this?Can you be so chic? If you want to reform, you have to move their jobs. If you move their jobs, how can they agree?Even if they can agree, those "black hands" behind them will not agree. Wang Dali looked out the window, Rolls Royces were speeding past.The wide metal grille on the front of the car and the classic car logo of "Goddess of Joy" shine brightly in the sun. These are all the cars of Shanxi Coal Boss.

On the expressway from Beijing to Shanxi, most of the cars that are driving wildly are their cars.Compared with those coal bosses, his own Cadillac should have been relegated to the second tier long ago. Wang Dali knows very well that in Shanxi, the most indispensable thing is a good car. Although the roads in Shanxi are the worst in the country, the cars running on these roads are indeed the best.The latest and greatest cars in the world can be seen in Shanxi. Some people say that standing on the main street of Taiyuan, for every five cars passing by, there is a famous car worth more than 500,000 yuan, and for every twenty cars passing by, there is a BMW or Mercedes-Benz.

Those reporters who are not familiar with the life of coal bosses are bluffing in the media. All coal bosses like Hummers and Land Rover. Shanxi Road is not good, so they have to take off-road vehicles. Real coal bosses don't like Hummers. Most of those who drive Hummers work for real coal bosses!At best, he could be regarded as a small boss of a coal mine. In Wang Dali's eyes, there are only two types of real coal bosses, that is, coal mine investors and their backers, that is, those "black hands". He himself can barely be regarded as an investor at present, and this role has just been changed in recent years. In the past, he personally supervised the miners in the mine, and he went through the wind and rain just like them.

That was before, but now he knows that a real coal boss should walk around the world in style, without having to crawl around in coal piles all day long. Now, each of his two mines has a mine manager, and he entrusts them to deal with minor matters in the mines. Except for major matters involving human life and the development of the coal mine, he generally does not go to the subordinates to ask questions. All he has to do is to keep his mobile phone open 24 hours a day and listen to their reports at any time. Looking at it now, his good days as a chic shopkeeper will not be too long.Shanxi wants to reform the coal industry. If it doesn't work well, coal bosses like Wang Dali are bound to suffer.

As soon as Wang Dali's car entered the border of Shanxi, the dust immediately hit his face.The windshield in front of the car was covered with a thick layer of coal dust before the car entered the site of his coal mine.In order not to block the view, the wipers had to be activated frequently. Coal mining is a highly polluting industry, and high profits will inevitably bring high pollution.There is no other way. In recent years, relying on coal resources, Shanxi's gross national product has been rising year after year.Now officials, big and small, like to show political achievements, and one of the indicators to measure political achievements is GDP.

The rulers of Shanxi go to the central government for a meeting, and when they mention this GDP, they are very confident. Why?It's not about relying on these black gold to support them. As long as the coal mine accident and the green economy are not mentioned, Shanxi officials will always have their waists straightened wherever they go. Now the whole country is learning and practicing the scientific concept of development. In Wang Dali's view, no matter what the concept is, it still emphasizes development in the final analysis, and what development depends on. For Shanxi, it depends on coal.

Although he only had a primary school education, Wang Dali was very good at judging the direction of policies. It is precisely because of this ability to judge the direction of the wind that he has made a fortune step by step up to now. Wang Dali is good at absorbing new ideas and gathering new information.He remembered reading a document that Shanxi Province has a land area of ​​156,000 square kilometers, and the coal-bearing area is 62,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than 40% of the land area.By the end of 2003, Shanxi Province had ascertained reserves of coal resources of 265.284 billion tons, accounting for 26% of the country's ascertained reserves of 1021.056 billion tons, ranking first in the country. In 2004, Shanxi's total coal output was 492.97 million tons, accounting for 25.2% of the national total coal output of 1,955.93 million tons, still ranking first in the country. There is black gold everywhere in Shanxi! Moreover, historically, the development of Shanxi has almost always relied on energy, mainly coal.It can be said that a history of the development of Shanxi is a history of coal mining in Shanxi. The history of large-scale coal mining in Shanxi Province can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the government encouraged the establishment of coal mines. At that time, the number of coal mines and coal production gradually increased, and even formed many population gathering places. Over time, large and small villages were formed.Villages such as Xigou Village, Dianwan Town, Zuoyun County, Datong City, were formed because coal diggers continued to gather here in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In the early and middle period of the Republic of China, the mines and output of raw coal mining in Shanxi increased. However, at that time, China's internal and external troubles limited the development of the coal mining industry. During this period, Shanxi began to enter the period of commercial coal mining. In 1937, Japan launched a war of aggression against China and brazenly entered Shanxi.In the same year, Shanxi was captured by the Japanese army.From then until 1945, the Japanese invaders created a tragic history of blood and tears in China's coal mining in Shanxi. In order to plunder China's coal resources, the Japanese invaders implemented a bloody policy of "exchanging people for coal" in Shanxi. Many miners were thrown alive into large and small "mass pits" and smelting furnaces just because they lost the ability to work. Wang Dali has read relevant information. During this period, in Datong, Shanxi alone, the Japanese invaders looted 14.18 million tons of coal and killed more than 60,000 miners. On October 1, 1949, with Chairman Mao's thick and desolate Hunan accent of "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established", all coal mines in Shanxi were nationalized one after another. Before the "reform and opening up", coal mines were not allowed at the township and village levels. After the "reform and opening up", coal mining in Shanxi Province gradually took shape. Beginning in 1982, the central government's policy on Shanxi was changed to "open big mines, open small mines, and let water flow quickly."Small private coal mines, formerly known as the "tail of capitalism", blossomed all over Shanxi overnight. By 1990, "private mines" were widespread in Shanxi, and illegal coal mines were rampant.It was at this time that coal bosses like Wang Dali began to search for gold in Shanxi. They quickly dug up the first pot of black gold, and with this first pot of gold, they have the lofty pride of spending money like water. Wang Dali believes that all coal bosses should be grateful for the reform and opening up, and for Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping was really wise and great. This is what Wang Dali said whenever he met. Without this great man, there would be no reform and opening up, and without reform and opening up, there would be no good policies for private mining, and without good policies, there would be no coal bosses who are everywhere now. Think about it, if we didn't open the country and let capitalism in, we would be the North Korean people now, hungry and still shouting long live, long live, long live, the great leader. This is the environment in which coal bosses exist. The big environment is important, and the small environment cannot be ignored.The general environment determines the life and death of the coal boss, and the small environment can also determine the life and death of the coal boss. The so-called microenvironment refers to those in charge of various levels in Shanxi.Without them, a coal boss like Wang Dali would not be where he is today. Now, they want to move the job of the coal boss, the difficulty can be imagined.
