Chapter 137 The logic of the coal boss making a lot of money

Coal bosses earn money from the state, eat food from their children and grandchildren, and suck the blood of workers. That's not a bad thing to say. Wang Dali has a deep understanding of this after decades of working as a coal boss. The coal in the ground belongs to the state, and what Wang Dali has to do is to dig it out, which of course earns money from the state; He took these things that belonged to the country and belonged to future generations as his own, and of course what he ate was the food of future generations: If you want to get things up from the ground, you must rely on miners. Without miners, he can't be a coal boss who spends money like water. Of course, he sucks the blood of workers.

China lacks everything but people. 1.3 billion people need to survive, and 1.3 billion mouths need to eat. Human resources are everywhere, labor is everywhere. Despite the continuous mine disasters in Shanxi, there is still a steady stream of people who come to the deep mountain mining area to find work and make money, and the vacancies of dead miners will soon be filled by newcomers. There is coal in the ground, and people in the ground.This is the logic of coal bosses making money. Wang Dali has a principle in employing people, that is, he never uses Shanxi locals, and if he really wants to use them, he will use them for security or other ground work.

Like other coal bosses, he likes to use out-of-town personnel the most.These outsiders generally come from Hebei, Henan, Inner Mongolia, Anhui, Gansu and other places. Almost all foreign coal bosses developing in Shanxi have this rule. The intention behind it is self-evident. On the one hand, it is easy to deal with accidents. question etc. In Shanxi, it is no secret that small coal mines dig and mine indiscriminately. When Wang Dali first opened the mine, he still had a blueprint on hand, but later he didn't look at it at all and simply threw it away. "The blueprints are seen on the ground, but when they are underground, no one can tell the difference. It counts where you dig."

Wang Dali has become accustomed to random digging and harvesting. Before the reform of mining rights, the coal recovery rate in Shanxi was only 30% to 40%, of which the township mines were usually only 10% to 15%, which means that for every 10 to 15 tons of raw coal mined, 85 to 90 tons of raw coal were lost . Coal bosses only dig the best coal, and do not dig coal of poor quality. The underground digging extends in all directions, like a labyrinth, which can easily cause ventilation difficulties.Why do some coal mines always fail to produce geological maps and underground structure maps during the rescue process after mining accidents?That's why.

It's useless to take it out, the structure diagram and the actual terrain don't match at all. The benefits of overproduction are obvious. One is that the output has increased, and the profit has increased accordingly. The second is that coal mine taxes are paid according to the approved output, and the excess production is tax evasion, which is a bottomless black hole. With such a bargain to take advantage of, who wouldn't take it?It is a fool not to account for it! The two coal mines operated by Wang Dali are called Banlazi Mine and Langdang Mine.The former one was subcontracted by him from a village chief. At that time, it had been mined beyond recognition, so it was called Banlazi Mine.

However, Wang Dali and his technicians went down to explore together. Although the Banlazi Mine has been severely damaged, the coal seam is thick and the coal quality is good. It can be dug for another five or six years at least.He subcontracted the Banlazi mine at a price so cheap that even he himself could not believe it. He immediately improved the equipment, recruited troops, and the coal he dug up was indeed good coal.The latter mine was originally a village-run coal mine. The village was named Langdang, and the mine was also called Langdang Mine. Since a few village cadres only knew how to use the coal mine to fill their own pockets and do things to do nothing, the villagers were dissatisfied and rose up to cause trouble.The village cadres had no choice but to hand it over to Wang Dali.

These two coal mines are not far away, both are located in the heart of the mountain, and belong to the same township government. Wang Dali used the funds in his hands to revitalize the production of the two mines, and hired two trustworthy old technicians who retired from the big mines to become mine managers. He was alone, collecting money while eating, drinking and playing. Regardless of whether Shanxi wants to reform coal or not, he has to focus on the Langdang Mine. The Banlazi Mine has been mined for five years, and it is estimated that by the time the coal reform document comes out, the underground coal will be mined almost.

But the Langdang Mine still has great potential. With the current scale of mining, it can be operated for at least another ten years. Wang Dali plans to invest more money to improve equipment, step up production, and make a fortune before the coal reform.Wait until the coal is changed, and then find a way to increase the mining volume. If it doesn't work, find a "big tree" to lean against. He came back from Beijing and went straight to Langdang Mine without stopping. The person in charge of guarding the mine for Wang Dali is Wang Laokuai, who was brought to Shanxi by Wang Dali from his hometown in northern Jiangsu, and has followed him in Shanxi for 20 years.He was loyal to Wang Dali and took care of Langdang Mine in an orderly manner.

Of course, Wang Dali did not treat him badly, and gave him an annual salary of more than six figures. As soon as Wang Dali's car entered the gate of Langdang Mine, Wang Laokuai saw it. With a big cigarette bag in his mouth, he walked forward calmly with his hands behind his back. As soon as Wang Dali saw the smile on his face, he knew that this month's production had been completed ahead of schedule.He patted Wang Laokuai on the shoulder and handed him a bag of tobacco leaves: This is what I brought to you from Beijing, smoke, is it the taste of our northern Jiangsu? Wang Dali knew that Wang Laokuai had been in Shanxi for so many years, but he was still used to smoking this kind of old dry tobacco from northern Jiangsu.

Wang Laokuai weighed the weight of his pocket and smiled: Thank you brother, you still think of me when you go to Beijing.You haven't been here for a few days, and there is nothing serious in the mine, so I didn't call you. Ok.It's best not to call.When I saw your number, I got dizzy, and I was afraid that something might happen to the mine.I know you don't usually call me if it's nothing serious. While talking, Wang Dali followed Wang Laokuai to the mouth of the pit. Every time he came to the mine, he would first look at the mouth of the pit. If the mouth of the pit was normal, it meant that the production order was normal.

Then go to the coal bunker. From the height of the coal bunker, you can know the sales price of this month. After reading these, Wang Dali followed Wang Laokuai to the simple office. There are eight office rooms in a row, next to the miners' dormitories. On the surface, the house is as dilapidated as the miners' dormitory, but the equipment inside is different. Inside the shabby exterior are luxurious office desks and chairs, leather sofas, high-definition TVs, and laptops with wireless network cards. None of the modern equipment is bad. There is a high-power air conditioner in the room. Compared with the hot flashes outside, this place seems to be an air outlet. Wang Dali sat down on the leather sofa. Wang Laokuai filled his teacup with water. Then he unhurriedly loaded a bag of dry tobacco, took a puff slowly, and said to Wang Dali repeatedly: Grandma's, strong and strong, is a pure old northern Jiangsu flavor. Wang Dali smiled, blowing the hot air from the mouth of the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and asked with a smile: You speak first or I speak first? Follow the old rules, let me report first, and then arrange tasks after the report. Wang Laokuai coughed twice. This was an opening remark. Every time Wang Dali came to the mine, the two of them were like this. As soon as they sat down, they talked about business. Wang Laokuai talked first, and he said later. Because there are not many miners and management is easy, Wang Dali did not appoint a deputy mine manager at Langdang Mine. All the work was done by Wang Laokuai alone. For so many years, he trusted Wang Laokuai the most. Wang Laokuai said unhurriedly: The day before yesterday, Gou Ri's Zhang Datou came again and took another 20,000 yuan from the mine, saying that he was treating his mother for some strange disease. Zhang Datou is the village head of Langdang Village, and Wang Dali subcontracted Langdang Mine from the former mine manager of Langdang Mine.Well, did you give it to him? It can be seen from Wang Dali's tone that he doesn't take this seriously. If you don't give it to him, he will say that the villagers are not in a good mood recently, and that people always want to make trouble in the mine. If he was not blocking it, they would have come long ago. Wang Laokuai sighed. Just give it to him, this kind of person is greedy for money. It's too greedy. Some time ago, his son got married and just gave him 20,000 yuan. What else? The mayor of the town called yesterday, saying that there was a document from the higher ups that needed to be rectified, and let us make preparations.He will accompany the heads of several departments in the county to inspect next week. Is there such a thing?Wang Dali frowned: County Magistrate Sun didn't tell me, he didn't say how many people he would bring? No.He said he would come. Wang Laokuai took a drag on his cigarette. Oh.Then prepare a little more, and give 50,000 per person. Row.I asked Accountant Li to go to the bank to withdraw money in the afternoon.In fact, you can ignore them. We are covered by County Magistrate Sun, and you can control the dicks in several departments. Wang Laokuai was somewhat indignant. Wang Dali smiled: We are not short of that money.Such things are trivial things, and we don't deserve to cause trouble to Magistrate Sun, right? That is, good steel should be used on the blade.I do not have anymore.You say it. Wang Laokuai moved his butt and let out a loud fart.After putting it off, I smiled embarrassedly. Wang Dali cleared his throat and said that I have learned a lot from my visit to Beijing this time.We have to step up production, the good times may not be long. You're saying the wind is going to change, right? Wang Laokuai is very clever. Wang Dali nodded. I knew that these bastard grandchildren were going to change their policies, how long do we have? I don't know, it won't be too long, we must hurry up, if it doesn't work, we will recruit more people, and work in three shifts. Row.no problem.There are so many people, there are too many people looking for work in the mine these two days. We don't want locals. Wang Dali spoke resolutely. I know this.And let alone those who are related to each other. If such people come to find a job, they will all be asked to leave. Wang Laokuai added. Why is this? Wang Dali was a little confused: what happened to the relatives?Isn't it better? not good.I just heard something happened in a nearby mine. They hired three new miners, two of whom they said were cousins.Three people were digging in a working face, but the coal seam collapsed, killing my younger brother.They had no choice but to lose tens of thousands of dollars. It was later learned that it was not the collapse of the coal seam at all, but that they deliberately caused the death accident underground.The person who was crushed to death and the person who received the compensation were not cousins, but were tricked into working here. There are such unscrupulous miners, we have to beware. Wang Laokuai seemed to have lingering fears. Wang Dali nodded: I've heard of black-hearted coal bosses, why are there black-hearted miners? A few years ago in the Banlazi Mine, he experienced some miners impersonating the bodies of miners who died in a mining disaster. The miner's death was purely an accident. He was a native of Henan. His family was too poor to let go of the pot, and he came to Shanxi to dig coal.In order to earn more money, he always carries two steamed buns in his arms when he goes to the mine. After finishing one shift, he eats two steamed buns before working on the next shift. After a long time like this, I was exhausted and died on the work surface.Wang Dali compensated him 20,000 yuan according to the mining disaster standard. Because it was not the responsibility of the mine, he did not immediately cremate the miner's body to destroy the evidence as usual.Instead, someone notified the family of the miner to collect the body. After waiting for a few days, there was no movement. Later, a miner said that he knew the family members and could bring the money and the body back.In order to finish this matter sooner, Wang Dali resumed production quickly, and asked the miner to carry the body away without careful questioning. A few days later, a miner told him that he saw the body in a ravine not far from the mine, and he knew the truth. He estimated that the miner who pretended to claim the body took the money to work in another coal mine. His attitude towards the miners has since become harsher.
