Investment Life

In the midsummer of August, the temperature in the urban area had already climbed to the high temperature warning level of 36 degrees, but after driving all the way west and entering the dense forest in the county, the hot summer turned into a cool breeze in a blink of an eye.This is the most extensive mountainous area in western Henan. In the future, two national 5A-level tourist attractions and seven national 4A-level tourist attractions will be born. World Geoparks, National Nature Reserves, National Forest Parks and other reputations will follow one after another. , making it an enviable tourist destination.

However, today, the tourism industry has not yet taken root in this land, and the beautiful scenery in the future has become the barren mountains and rivers in front of us.Due to just a few heavy rains, the road that was not considered smooth was washed away by the mountain rain, and the ground was covered with muddy puddles and rocks. Even a quasi-off-road vehicle like the Grand Cherokee was a little bit unable to use it, and climbed slowly. It took one and a half hours to reach the destination on the mountain road.

Getting off the car, Chen Yuanming took a deep breath. If the road from the urban area to the county town was tolerable, then the dirt road from the county town to the mountainous area was a disaster.It seems that the road will continue to be repaired. I don’t know how much wear and tear will be added to the mine car going back and forth in the future. I hope it can be completed as soon as possible.

"Mr. Chen is here! Hurry up! Hurry up!" A voice came from the front, very loud and full of local accent.

Chen Yuanming raised his head and saw a few people walking quickly in front of him. The one in front was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a white background and blue stripes. There are also two locks of hair draped crookedly, using the most traditional way to cover up the gradually rising hairline, making this formal attire look a bit funny.

The man trotted all the way to Chen Yuanming in three steps and two steps, and stretched out his hand excitedly, "Ah! Director Chen, you are here, folks... ah no, the workers have been waiting for you for a long time! I am Wangzhai Village The village party secretary Wang Erwang, you can call me Xiaowang!"

Chen Yuanming couldn't help laughing, and held the big skinny hand, "Secretary Wang, did the heavy rain a few days ago affect the construction site? I heard that there was a landslide nearby..."

"No impact on the construction site! Absolutely no impact!" Wang Erwang quickly replied, "Our mine has been audited by so many experts, and we are not afraid of rain! On the day of rain, all construction was stopped, and the management is strict! One point Nothing wrong! It's just..."

There was a trace of heartache on Wang Zhishu's dark face, "It's just that the few acres of Susukida in our village have suffered seedlings. It seems that the harvest is about to be harvested now, and there is a sudden heavy rain. I am afraid that this year's harvest will be wiped out..."

That's right, the summer harvest season is the most afraid of rain, let alone this kind of heavy rain.Chen Yuanming sighed softly. Although this mountain forest has unparalleled resources in the world, it is too cruel for farmers.It is either a severe drought or a severe flood, and the mountainous areas cannot grow crops, and the road environment is still very bad. It is very difficult to develop forestry resources.As a result, most of the villages and towns around the mountainous area are poor and extremely poor households, living below the food and clothing line.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yuanming changed the subject, "I'm afraid the road from the mining area to the county will be repaired, and the car will not be able to go at all. Once on the road, the site may not be guaranteed. I will discuss it with the city later. We still need your village’s great assistance.”

"That's great! That's great! I still want to thank you on behalf of the folks!" Wang Erwang's eyes lit up immediately, not to mention that road repairs can earn a lot of labor fees, just the economic benefits brought by road repairs It should not be underestimated. Didn’t you listen to the propaganda above? If you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and grow more trees.There will be no shortage of trees in this ravine. As long as the road is repaired, is it possible that the fruits and mountain products will not be transported out?No matter what, it's a big deal!Thinking of this, the corners of Wang Zhishu's mouth almost reached his ears. This Chairman Chen is really the God of Wealth in their village!

"Mr. Chen is back." At this moment, those people in the distance finally came forward, and it was Liu Weiguo who was wearing overalls and a hard hat who was speaking.

He has been studying in the mountains since last month, because he doesn't want people to know his relationship with Chen Yuanming, and he is commensurate with his position in front of people.It's just that he is now on the track of safety management, but this nephew is still visiting the mine for the first time. After dealing with the family fund matter last month, he just stopped in the city for a few days, and he just walked away. Yes, it is said that there are more important matters outside that need to be dealt with urgently.

What could be more important than this big mine?After staying on the mountain for nearly 2 months, Liu Weiguo thoroughly figured out the scale of the mine. The proven reserves of metal minerals alone are no less than 120 million tons, occupying several hilltops, and more than 800 workers have been invested in the first phase. , as well as the full cooperation of the mining machinery factory and the city.If this mine can be officially put into operation, even at the current metal price, the annual sales can't be less than 7 to 8 million, right?Not to mention that this is only the first phase. After the second phase of construction is completed and the deep processing facilities are systematized, it is still unknown how much profit will be made.

Such an important stall was thrown away as soon as it was said, so Liu Weiguo really didn't know what to say.No, the construction of the factory building in the county has already started, the training of miners and the preparation of the mine are about to be completed, and it will be put into production soon. How can he, the big boss, ignore it?

"Captain Liu." Chen Yuanming greeted his uncle with a smile, "How about it, are the workers proficient in safety training and technical operations?"

"A small half of them are workers in the old Yuxi Coal Mine, and they adopt new and old support plus on-site operation teaching. Everyone learns quickly and can already go to work. By the way, Mr. Chen, these two are the former Mr. Deng and Mr. Liang from Yuxi Coal Mine have been working in the mining industry for a lifetime, and they are of great help to us."

Standing beside Liu Weiguo were two old men, who looked quite old. Because of the vicissitudes of life on their faces, they could not recognize their actual ages, but they should not be under 50 years old.Among them, the old man named Deng Gong stepped forward and took Chen Yuanming's hand.

"Hey... Mr. Chen, I have always wanted to meet you and thank you face to face. Three years ago, when the coal mines in western Henan were shut down on a large scale, I didn't know how to live in the future. I have worked in coal mines for 37 years In the end, the pension left behind is not enough to support the family. Really... Thank you for hiring us old bones, consultants, just ask someone willing to ask us, the waste heat of this life will be used in our mine It's gone!"

The tone of this Deng Gong's speech was quite excited, and it was indeed sincere.We must know that the coal industry has adopted price protection measures for a long time, and it is basically losing money to engage in production. The older generation of coal workers who retired in the early 90s can be said to be the most unfair group.They did not enjoy the benefits brought by a day's rise in coal prices. Instead, after dedicating their lives, they faced the plight of not getting enough to eat.The experience they have accumulated has also become an outdated old calendar, and it seems that there is only one way to be eliminated.

But Chen Yuanming didn't do that.Although the minerals excavated are different and the tools used are different, some experiences cannot be learned from books.For the understanding of tunnels and the experience in safety protection, these old technicians who have worked in the mining industry all their lives are simply walking dictionaries. If they can put double insurance on his mine at a not-so-expensive price, then why not? And not for it.

"Mr. Deng, you are serious." Chen Yuanming patted the back of the old man's hand with a smile, and said seriously, "The reason for hiring laid-off and retired workers from the Western Henan Coal Mine is to get my mine back on track as soon as possible. Experience is something There are never too many, and I ask you to take these new recruits and train them into better talents."

"Where, where." Deng Gong shook his head quickly, "This molybdenum mine is also a new industry for us, we can learn from each other and improve together!"

"Haha, that makes sense." Smiling and patting the shoulders of the two old men, Chen Yuanming turned his head and asked, "Director Song didn't come today?"

"No, a batch of equipment is about to arrive in the county today, and Factory Manager Song went down to check it himself." Liu Weiguo replied simply, "Do you want me to call and ask him to come back?"

"No need." Chen Yuanming waved his hand, "I'll be back in the county in two days, so I'll contact him then."

This factory manager Song can be regarded as a pawn that Chen Yuanming has buried for a long time. His name is Song Yi, and he was the former deputy factory director of Shanxi Steel Plant. Chen Yuanming met him in the CEO training class back then, and they also got in touch with each other. for a long time.In fact, many of the cadres of such large state-owned enterprises are quite excellent in terms of ability. After all, they need to climb up to high positions step by step. The management is well-organized, and putting it in such a small factory with thousands of people is like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

Not to mention that Song Yi is still a quasi-EMBA talent who has received the education of a new-style president. It would be a pity that he would become moldy in a state-owned enterprise. Chen Yuanming dug him out of the original factory without hesitation and put him in the mine alone.

With this layered layout, he dared to leave with confidence. Now that he came back and looked at it, he really did not disappoint.

"Then..." Liu Weiguo frowned slightly, "A staff meeting will be held today? Will Chairman Chen give a speech? It can be regarded as mobilization before the start of work..."

Chen Yuanming couldn't help laughing, "Captain Liu, let the city leaders come when the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially starts. I'm actually here to observe the progress and make some preparations for the next step. For production matters, hand over I'm very relieved to give it to Lao Song."

As soon as these words came out, several people present were a little dazed.Hearing this, he is not going to participate in the ribbon-cutting?Then why do you come to the mountains? It can't be tourism, right?

Chen Yuanming didn't pay attention to their suspicious eyes, just smiled and walked towards the mine.Contrary to what Liu Weiguo had guessed, in the past half a month, he has indeed conducted several businesses bigger than molybdenum mines, and also received an unexpected gift.
