The Longxi Mine in Hua'an Town stretches for dozens of kilometers. Phosphate rock is of high grade and rich in reserves, but mining is relatively difficult for three reasons. First, due to the karst landform, there are many karst caves and a lot of groundwater, which brings a lot of trouble to mining. The second is that roadway support is relatively difficult, and the sprayed grout is not easy to adhere to the surface of the roadway to form an effective protective arch. The third is that the people's sentiments are relatively complicated. The unruly people, the black forces, and the corrupt officials here cannot be offended. Therefore, there is a popular saying in the local area, "Mines are originally made of gold, and poor people should not dig them."
There are more than 20 mine owners, big or small, in the mine. Although they are usually inconspicuous, they all look like country bumpkins, but they gamble money, pick up girls, and eat and drink in a style that is not much worse than those in the city. Most of them, there are three families surnamed Qian who have made a lot of money by relying on the mine.
Qian Jiang, 165 cm tall, thin and pale, with sunken cheeks, long and straight nose, and two small eyes that are round and big because of his thinness, looks like a Hong Kong star.
This person's health is not very good, relying on his brother-in-law's connection in the province, no one will pay for it, he drives a blue business Buick, and he can say a few words wherever he goes, which makes people feel angry and angry The strange words that dare to lose his temper to him make people feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart. He grew up in this mountain. He is 36 years old this year and married a very urban style and good-looking man named Li Ling. woman as a wife.
Li Ling often sits between the mine entrance and exit to collect fees, and has a cheerful personality. She often chats up, makes fun of, and amuses the drivers who come to pull the mine. There are mountains around the mine. Such a cheerful and beautiful woman sitting in the mine is really impressive. These drivers brought a lot of fun. Many drivers could have taken a rest at home, but in order to see Li Ling, even if it was just to take a look, they had to come to pull a truckload of mines.
Qian Jiang has not been in good health since he was a child, and he has a little asthma. Everyone in a hundred miles knows him, and others always love to bully him, so he loves to fight since he was a child, and he will not let others bully, even if he is beaten badly He is covered in injuries, because of this reason, he often makes friends with wild boys who are stronger than himself and becomes good brothers. He plans to take care of him in future fights. Gradually, no one dares to bully him in the mountains. He has a very easy-to-use brain. I often help my parents to make some money in the mountains. Seeing other people planting trees and making money, I try to find a way to get some saplings in the province to plant. Seeing others raising scorpions, he also raises them. In short, it is enough trouble.
When I was 25 years old, I met a foreign trade businessman in the provincial capital and told him that they were begging for food with golden rice bowls. 40 yuan/ton is very popular. In fact, the market price at that time was 120 yuan/ton of phosphate rock, which was still more than 30% of the grade, while the outcrop mine in Qianjiang reached 32%, and there was no need to mine it at all.
This news is undoubtedly great news for Qian Jiang. He returned home and dug up the outcrop mine on the mountain top contracted by his family, holding a pickaxe, iron brazing, and shovel, and did not do it during the day for fear of being discovered. At night, I asked my family members to do it quietly. After doing this for a few years, I sold a lot of mines to foreign trade companies, and I gradually got some money, so I figured out how to make it bigger.
This kind of digging is too slow, and it is not a solution. If machines are used to do the work, the whole village will soon learn to do it. He wants to let the people in his family control these mines first. If they have no money, he will advance part of the money first, and then contract them in each of their respective names. The advance money will be taken from the money they sell the mines. The deduction will be returned to him, and an additional 10 yuan per ton will be given to him. In this case, although he earns a little less, but after all, the mine is still in his own hands, which means that he has mobilized the power of the family to follow him.
When I first told the family about this matter, the family also objected, saying that he was black-hearted, but the old people in the family suppressed these voices of different opinions, and let Qian Jiang lead the brothers and sisters to do it. Qian Jiang found a way for his family to get rich, and he himself started it immediately. He has a distant cousin who listens to him the most, and he also values ??and likes him the most. His name is Qian Xiaosong.
Qian Xiaosong was fat and short, like a piece of mahjong tiles, with no figure at all, but he looked kind, and when he saw anyone, he would smile with a big mouth, and his two rows of white teeth were neatly lined up in a row. People have a clean and tidy feeling, although his clothes are always so sloppy.
There is another important player in the mine that I have to mention here. His name is Qian Ke, he is from a foreign town, he is bold and addicted to gambling. As soon as he arrives at the mine, he first comes to see the two brothers Qian Jiang and Qian Xiaosong. It has given them a lot of benefits, and they often ask them to gamble and play cards together. It can be said that the three of them are the barometer of the mining market, and the rise and fall of the price are determined by them. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
