Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 139

"Uncle Zhou, mark the places that can be mined and let me see." Wang Weidong said.

"I still have to send this blueprint back. I can only show it to you with my fingers. It's roughly this area." Zhou Maocai said.

While talking, he gestured with his hands on the drawings to roughly form a triangular fan from the east of the fault.

"This piece of coal is 20 tons?" Wang Weidong asked.

"The mining height is about 1.7m20 and multiplied by this area is about 10,000 tons. But of course not all the coal can be mined, but there is no problem in mining [-]+ tons of coal!" Zhou Maocai replied.

"How long would it take to open a roadway through the fault, and how much would it cost?" Wang Weidong asked.

As an experienced technician, Zhou Maocai certainly understands the cost of tunneling in coal mines based on the use of materials and labor.

"I have checked the information. The Datonggou Coal Mine excavated through this fault twice. It takes about 120 meters at a vertical angle. The middle 60 meters is the most difficult. The scaffolding is half a meter in steps. The top and sides are made of cement boards, and the bottom board also needs The crossbar prevents the floor from bulging. I have already calculated that the material cost of the entire roadway needs to be about [-] yuan, and the labor cost is calculated separately." Zhou Maocai replied.

"It will take about two months. You can calculate the labor costs yourself. If 150 people work in two shifts, it will cost 1 yuan per person per month, which is less than [-] yuan." Zhou Maocai continued.

This is only the excavation cost of a roadway, not including mine maintenance and other costs.

Wang Weidong felt that it would cost 8 to [-] yuan including all expenses for two months.Even township coal mines were a huge expense in [-]. No wonder Shi Guozheng was unwilling to dig into this roadway, and an uneducated person like Shi Guozheng was even more afraid of throwing large sums of money into it, but in the end he didn't See coal.

Wang Weidong believes in technology, and now he has the money, but what he is afraid of is that if he spends tens of thousands of dollars to dig out the roadway, Shi Guozheng will turn his face immediately after seeing the coal, and he will be in vain at that time.

The next day Wang Weidong took out 900 yuan from the savings office of the Datonggou Coal Mine and sent it to Zhou Maocai's home. "

"This money is not half a year's wages that I give you for Shi Guozheng, it's my reward! Just based on what you told me about the Unity Coal Mine and the blueprints you showed me, I think it's worth it!" Wang Weidong said.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Weidong came to Hedong City, and he took the train back to Harbin City.

The next night, Wang Weidong found Ou Xiaoyang again.

"So that coal mine still has 20 tons of coal?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

"Not so much can be mined, but 10,000+ tons can be obtained, and a 120-meter-long roadway must be dug in advance, which is more difficult than digging a roadway in the sand." Wang Weidong said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a reward." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"It's still the old rule, one person and half, done it! I went to dig out the tunnel by myself. If Shi Guozheng will turn his face after seeing the coal, you will come forward again at this time. But we will not be able to operate coal mines in the future. As soon as I see that I feel guilty in the dark inclined well, so I can’t do it all the time!” Wang Weidong said.

"Of course we can't work in coal mines all year round. As long as I see coal, I can subcontract it at a high price! The two of us put in 10,000+, and I'm sure to transfer 40!" Ou Xiaoyang said.

The 20 tons of underground coal should have been mined in three years.

"Okay, I'll pretend that I'm being taken advantage of. In a few days, the two of us will go with Mr. Yao, let him pretend to be a friend who lent me money, and then sign an insurance transfer agreement with them. Of course, we will do it after going to the coal mine to see it." The final decision." Wang Weidong said.

"Okay, then the three of us will go together!" Ou Xiaoyang nodded and said.

Two days later, Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang took Yao Qiming to Tuanjie Village.

Yao Qiming, who has been a teacher for 30 years, has an image of a bookish and good-natured old man. To put it bluntly, he looks like he is easy to deceive and bully.

Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang told Yao Qiming that they had an investment project and took Teacher Yao out to relax, and also asked him to be a consultant.

For the past few days, Shi Guozheng was still very worried that Wang Weidong would never return. Now he was overjoyed to see Wang Weidong came back with two friends.

This time there were no pigs to kill in the village, Shi Guozheng asked his wife to go to the village to buy meat, and killed another chicken.

"This Comrade Yao Qiming is a university teacher. His father used to be a capitalist in Harbin City. The policy was restored a few years ago, and the state gave him a lot of money. In addition, the young man has little money and plans to work with me." Wang Weidong quietly said Said to Shi Guozheng.

Shi Guozheng smiled and nodded, he didn't care whether what Wang Weidong said was true or not, as long as he could get the money.He doesn't suffer a loss if he doesn't take out the money, as long as he takes out the money, he makes money.

During the meal, Yao Qiming sat at the main seat and looked at a large pot of chicken stewed mushroom vermicelli and said with emotion: "The farmers are still simple and honest. After I came here, I was very moved. I have learned more about the industriousness, simplicity and kindness of the farmers." understanding!"

"Hey, what Teacher Yao said is great! You are really a bosom friend of our farmers! On behalf of all the farmers in Tuanjie Village, I would like to toast you!" Shi Guozheng said while holding a wine glass.

After eating, drinking and entertaining, Shi Guozheng and Shi Dali took the three of them to the coal mine to check again, mainly to see the big coal pile.

Standing at the mouth of the well, Wang Weidong noticed that the originally dark inclined shaft had been lit up. It turned out that there were lights on the top of the two inclined shafts at a distance of about ten meters each. Turn off the lights when saving power.

"Although the land is contracted now, there are more and more miscellaneous things, agricultural tax, special product tax, there are a lot of things to do, even childbirth, and the back of the head is really hard to get away from! After transferring insurance to you, we are also relaxed, and now the country is not saying that we want mutual benefit?" Shi Guozheng said.

Looking at the workers whose faces were covered in pitch-black after ascending the well, Yao Qiming sighed and said, "It's really hard work, it's not easy. Although I know that coal mining is hard work from reading books and newspapers, I don't have any personal experience. This time I came to mine. The feeling is too deep!"

"Teacher Yao, if you can do what you can, you must help them more." Wang Weidong said.

"Definitely, definitely!" Yao Qiming said flatly.

Shi Guozheng, Shi Dali and his son were all smiling, Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang were also smiling, and among the five, only Yao Qiming was a really simple and honest person.

Wang Weidong suggested to go to the mine to have a look. Shi Dali immediately asked the workers to prepare two mine trucks and took several people to the office to change clothes. He had already prepared work clothes, boots and hard hats for three people in advance.

A few people changed their clothes in the office and went to the charging room to get the miner's lamp out. Five people climbed into the two mine carts, and the winch started to slowly put the mine carts down.

The iron wheels of the mine cart made a clanging sound as they turned on the rails. Shi Dali must have ordered the mine cart to move slowly. It took a long time for the 100-meter-long inclined shaft to reach the bottom.

Five people jumped out of the mine cart, and Shi Dali led them to walk 30 meters to the ground, and there was water.

Shi Dali said: "This coal mine is shallow and there is no gas at all, just a lot of water!"

Going forward another five to sixty meters, I saw a two-meter-wide iron gate on the side of the roadway. Shi Dali opened the iron gate and heard a buzzing sound from inside. There were two transformers on the cement base.

"This is the transformer room. If it stops here, the water pump will not be able to pump water out and the entire mine will be flooded." Shi Dali said.

There is a wooden plank in the corner of the transformer room, and an old man lying on it is the old man who was driven down the well by Shi Guozheng when Wang Weidong came here that day.

That day, Lao Chang took his head off his post and ran to the well to drink water. Shi Guozheng, who came to the coal mine, happened to see him.

When the old man saw Shi Guozheng and his son go down the well, he hurriedly got up as if he saw the King of Hell, not knowing what to say.

Shi Dali didn't know what happened that day and introduced: "He's here to look at the transformers. Although the job is easy, it's not impossible."

Several people came out of the transformer room and continued to walk forward. Five pillars of miner's lights shook in the dark alleyway.

Walking forward another 50 meters, the roadway turned suddenly, and Shi Dali was shaking on the roadway wall with a miner's lamp in his hand.

"It was only after digging here that the coal seam suddenly disappeared, so the roadway turned a corner." Shi Dali said.

Wang Weidong carefully looked at the turning point of the roadway. This should be the fault that Zhou Maocai said, and the coal should be seen again after digging more than 100 meters forward.

"Look, there are coals on both sides of this alleyway!" Shi Dali shook the miner's lamp and said.

The roadway is more than two meters high, with a semi-dome and a bottom and a top. There is a 1.7-meter-thick coal seam in the middle of the side of the roadway.

If people who don't know the truth really think that what Shi Dali said is right, but Wang Weidong knows that the coal on both sides of the roadway is just to protect the coal pillars. Most of the coal in this coal mine is either mined or pressed behind the goaf and there is no way to mine it.

Going forward is a slope that slopes more than ten degrees. Simple railroad tracks are laid in the middle of the slope. The coal mine calls this uphill.

The slope didn't seem that big, but several people were a little out of breath after walking for a while, especially Shi Dali, a big fat man.

"Why can't I see a worker?" Wang Weidong asked.

"You can see that the workers of Masui are the last batch. Today I give the workers a day off. It is so hard to do such a heavy job. I will let them take a day off and still count work!" Shi Dali said thoughtfully.

"Well done, well done!" Yao Qiming said.

Walking up another 100 meters, I saw a winch with wire ropes wrapped around the drum.

Shi Dali shines forward with a miner's lamp, and a few meters away obliquely above is the mining area, and there are several shovel picks near the mining area.

"Okay, this work has come to an end, let's see how our coal mine is doing, it's still very promising!" Shi Guozheng said.

"Not bad, not bad!" Yao Qiming nodded and said without any grievances.

Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang also nodded pretendingly.

Ou Xiaoyang also sighed and said: "Oh, I just have little money, if I have more money, I will take it all by myself!"

"Can all of you cooperate? If you have money, everyone earns money, and everyone contributes more firewood!" Shi Guozheng said.

"Let's go back. I asked them to prepare the meal when I came down. It should be almost done now." Shi Dali said.He was obese and hadn't gone down the well for a long time. This time he went down so far and climbed up and down, his work clothes were soaked with sweat.

After Masui finished his meal, Wang Weidong told Shi Guozheng behind his back that the three of them would go to the bank in Hedong City to see if the money had been transferred to the bank account, and they would rush back the next day.

After seeing off the three people, Shi Guozheng and his son sat in the coal mine office.

"It's not too difficult for these three killers to deceive them with two or five eyes." Shi Dali said.

"Be careful. After they return to the coal mine, I will arrange someone to watch them. If there is anything to do, tell me in the village immediately." Shi Guozheng instructed.

"What are you afraid of? The coal mine is on our territory. We won't lose if they don't pay. If they pay, we will win." Shi Dali said indifferently.

After the three of Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang arrived in Hedong City, Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang first sent Yao Qiming to the train back to Harbin City. When parting, Yao Qiming said to Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang: "Those coal mining workers are working too hard. If you can help them It would be great!"

"Mr. Yao, don't worry, the two of us will definitely do what you say!" Wang Weidong said.
