The days when I sold coal in the coal mine

Chapter 442 The Struggling Coal Market

Jinsheng Group's reform of coal mining methods has not been smooth sailing, and has experienced some bumps in the middle. After all, it is a new technology, new equipment and new methods, and many places need to be adjusted.

The president's office meeting was held on May 5, and it is preliminarily expected to complete the comprehensive work of coal mining method reform around May 2.

On May 5, the full resumption of production procedures began.

Try to resume production on May 5, the day before the group's listing anniversary.

As a "birthday" gift for the group.

But as we all know, on May 2008, 5, a major event happened in Sichuan Province.

That is - the Sichuan earthquake.

This earthquake can be regarded as the most influential one since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As for the number of SW compatriots and missing compatriots, there are specific statistics, and I don’t want to mention them here. After all, whenever this matter is brought up, it is a sad thing.

Zhang Xiaobei only remembered one thing. At that time, he was sleeping in the dormitory, and he was suddenly woken up by shaking. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the light tube on his head was shaking constantly.

Zhang Xiaobei didn't have time to think about it, and shouted "an earthquake" while rushing down the corridor.

Pants are still worn in the yard.

Then the news on the Internet came out...

Of course, Jinsheng Group was originally scheduled to resume production on May 5, but it was postponed to May 19.

The reason is that from May 5th to May 19st, the "National Mourning Day" activities were carried out across the country to mourn the victims of the Sichuan earthquake.

During this period, national flags and all agencies stationed abroad flew at half-staff, public entertainment activities were stopped, and diplomatic bureaus and embassies and consulates stationed abroad set up condolence books.

From 5:19 on May 14, people across the country observed a three-minute silence, when cars, trains and ships honked their horns and air defense sirens sounded.

Jinsheng Group doesn't want to hold any celebrations and resumption of production activities when the people of the whole country are in grief. This is somewhat inappropriate.

So the date of resumption of production was adjusted to May 5.

At the same time, the original celebration activities were canceled, and during this period, the whole company was organized to make donations, and D members paid "special D fees" to support post-disaster reconstruction work.

At 5:19 on May 14th, Zhang Xiaobei stood up in his office silently and observed a 28-minute silence, very consciously.

In addition, Zhang Xiaobei also heard the roar of trains at Taihang Railway Station and the wailing of cars on the road not far from the group.

Even the air-raid sirens carry a hint of this sadness.

After the incident, Zhang Xiaobei sat in the office and silently lit a cigarette. He knew that the price of coal might increase again.

But this price increase, Zhang Xiaobei's heart is not full of joy, but a little helpless and lonely.

Because the coal price increase this time may mean that it needs to be linked with post-disaster reconstruction...

On May 5, the eighth mine under Jinsheng Group fully resumed production.

According to Zhang Xiaobei's prediction, the coal mine market has rapidly heated up in a short period of time.

But Zhang Xiaobei is most concerned about the construction work in the disaster area.

So during this period of time, I have been staring at the TV, watching programs on earthquake relief.

The show host also cried while talking, and Zhang Xiaobei also cried while listening.

During this period of time, it seemed that the whole country was immersed in boundless pain.

But this kind of pain has not affected the determination of the people of the whole country to rebuild after the disaster and the strong perseverance to fight against the disaster.

The great People's Liberation Army entered immediately after the disaster. The moving pictures and scenes made Zhang Xiaobei feel the strength and unity of the nation.

This time, Zhang Xiaobei once again saw the continuous interpretation of the sublimation of human nature and the pursuit of nobility.

Zhang Xiaobei thought of Zhao Honggui again. If Zhao Honggui was still there, this kid might also appear in the scene of the earthquake rescue.

Zhao Honggui, old classmate, are you okay over there?
In addition, in 2008, there is another major event that will affect the dreams of the people of the whole country. Over there is the 2008 Olympic Games, which will be held in the capital.

Zhang Xiaobei knew that the coal situation would not fluctuate at least until September.

The positive trend will continue.

Because the construction of the Olympic Games requires a lot of construction materials, it is also an incentive for coal.

Of course, during the holding period, production may have to be suspended for a few days.

After all, during such a grand event, safety and stability are the first elements.

Zhang Xiaobei also plans to join in the fun and watch two games.

Zhang Xiaobei knows that the current global economic situation is not good. When we hold the Olympic Games at this time, the first reason is that the country is stronger, and we want to show the world the new achievements and new looks of the country.

Another point is also an important measure for the G family to stimulate domestic demand.

The leaders have always been thinking hard about the development of this country and nation.

In addition, there is one more thing worth mentioning.

That is:
The exit of small coal mines.

The Zhongma Coal Mine mentioned earlier, which is the coal mine contracted by the boss of the North Province, has an annual output of only 30 tons, and by the middle of 2007, the resources were already exhausted.

What is being mined now is the resources of the Jinsheng Group's Sanhe Coal Mine.

It belongs to poaching.

However, in view of the surrounding relations and influence, Jinsheng Group did not make a sound.

After all, it is a village with hundreds of people who are facing survival problems. Some things can be tolerated, and they can be tolerated.

Forget it, I can't afford to be so idle.

But it's different now.

Tang Province has issued a policy that mines below 30 tons will be completely closed, so you can't keep them even if you want to.

But for this matter, you have to integrate it before you can close it.

At the very least, provide a temporary guarantee for the lives of ordinary people.

Integration means compensation, and compensation is to let the rural economy find a new way out.

The coal economy in Tang Province can no longer be paid for by private mining and ecological damage.

So during this period of time, what is Jinsheng Group busy with? It is busy merging and reorganizing the production capacity of some backward small coal mines in the surrounding area.

As I said just now, after all, Jinsheng Group is a big one among the local coal enterprises.

Among the seven small coal mines merged, the resources of five of them have been exhausted.

To put it bluntly, after the Jinsheng Group paid the compensation, it directly closed the wellhead.

There are also two small coal mines with a little resource, which can be connected with Jinsheng's two coal mines.

After the completion, the wellhead will be closed, and this part of the resources will be digested through downhole operations.

However, the amount of remaining resources is already pitifully small.

To put it bluntly, Jinsheng Group did not take advantage of this resource integration.

But you can't say that, at least it protects the existing resources.

Otherwise, these small coal mines dug privately and indiscriminately, and Jinsheng Group would not be able to talk about it. Isn't this a kind of loss?

In addition, Jinsheng Group has always implemented the country's J policy in place, and it is not timid.

It's just that if Jinsheng wants to be a law-based enterprise, it must follow the policy requirements.
