Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 247

Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu's home.

Most of the so-called first pot of gold of those friends in the previous life wandered in the gray area, or even simply illegal activities such as selling parallel imports.

Not much can be learned from.

But the experience of one of the mining tycoons in his early years can still be reproduced.

Zhao Wenmu thought about it carefully, and felt that it was indeed feasible.

A simple summary of this matter is one sentence: pouring coal.

In this era, coal is a state-distributed material, which is subject to unified purchase and sales, but it does not mean that each coal mine has no autonomy at all.

There is no so-called absolute in anything.

Even in this day and age.

For example, the sales right of coal mine A is generally in the hands of local fuel companies.

Fuel companies will distribute sales quotas to coking chemical industry, thermal power plants, chemical plants and lower-level fuel companies in the region.

This sales target, or sales quota, is not only the sales plan for the region, but also the production plan for coal mine A.

Also known as a national plan.

As long as the output reaches this amount, the national plan will be considered completed.

But the state plan is not equal to the maximum output of coal mines.

Generally speaking, the production plan formulated by the coal mine itself will be larger than the national plan, and the excess production can be filled up between quarters, so as to ensure that the national plan can be completed throughout the year.

On this basis, the extra parts can be sold independently.

In addition, the fuel company will allocate a part of the quota to the coal mine, which is used for the canteen and bathrooms on the mine.

Under normal circumstances, mines cannot use so many quotas.

The extra parts can also be sold independently.

What's more, as long as the mine has fulfilled the national targets, it will also give some benefits to the employees. Generally, one or two tons of welfare coal will be distributed to the miners every year.

Miners can collect these coals by ticket.

All of the above independent sales of coal and coal tickets in the hands of miners are within the legal scope.

Its price will be much lower than the market price!
Moreover, these are all coals with a combustion value that meets the standard, generally above 5500 kcal.

Thermal power plants only need this kind of coal, and they don't want coal with low combustion value.

As long as there are sales channels and the ability to transport coal across regions, it will be very profitable to dump these coals!

In fact, this is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult.

Just transporting one piece across regions will almost keep all private bosses out of the door.

Because it is strictly forbidden!
It's all meaningless if you can't get the coal out.

Because there is no shortage of coal in the mining area.

Families of coal miners pull large chunks of coal directly from the coal preparation building and pile them in their yards.

As long as it's not too much, no one cares at all!
Although these coals are of poor quality, they are sufficient for heating in winter.

It is precisely because of the above restrictions that few private individuals have been involved in the business of dumping coal for the time being.

The boss friend in the previous life also got into the business of a state-owned coking plant by chance and coincidence, and then started this business.

Thus digging the first pot of gold in life.

Afterwards, under the continuous impetus of the times, he successively set foot in iron, copper, and lithium mining businesses, becoming a very famous mining tycoon.

Although it is not as rich in coal reserves as Jin Province, Qilu Province still has a lot of coal mines in general.

Among them, Yanzhou Coal Mine can even be ranked first in the whole country.

Without further ado, Zhao Wenmu decided to set off immediately.

But before that, he needs to understand the current coal market situation.

It's not a hassle.

At noon of the next day, Zhao Wenmu hosted a banquet at the state-run hotel under Li Guofu's lead, Lou Guojing, a senior party official, and Liang Chunqing, the general manager of the Pingyang County Electric Power Company.

Lou Guojing and the others had naturally heard of Zhao Wenmu, after all, the Crayfish Restaurant and Jingyun Factory had a lot of dealings with the power company.

Although he didn't know what the other party's intention was for entertaining him, it was still not easy to refute Zhao Wenmu's face.

What's more, Li Guofu was recommended by him.

"Secretary Lou and Director Liang, thank you very much for the power company's long-term care for Jingyun Factory!"

"The two leaders are busy with their duties. I feel very honored to be here today!"

After Zhao Wenmu complimented him, Li Guofu actively invigorated the atmosphere, and the wine table was particularly harmonious.

After a few glasses of wine, Lou Guojing and the two also relaxed a lot.

Topics are more casual.

"Director Liang, what are the requirements for the coal used for power generation at the power plant? Is it different from the coal we use for civilian use?"

Zhao Wenmu asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Well, the coal used in our power plants must be steam coal with a calorie above 5500. There is no requirement for shape and size, and pulverized coal is also acceptable. Generally, the coal used for civilian use is only 3000-5000 calories, and the calorific value will be much lower. .”

Liang Chunqing, in his 50s, wears wide-rimmed glasses and behaves quite elegantly.

In fact, the general manager has a pretty good academic level, and has in-depth research in the field of thermal power generation efficiency improvement.

"Why do power plants have to use coal with such a high calorific value?"

Zhao Wenmu was really curious about this question.

Coal with low calorific value is relatively cheap, and the cost performance is actually good.

That being the case, why do thermal power plants have to limit the calorific value of coal?

"This, but it involves professional issues!"

When it comes to issues in the professional field, Liang Chunqing seems very eager to chat.

Of course, Zhao Wenmu didn't neglect Lou Guojing, and the two chatted from time to time.

What's more, there is Li Guofu to help take care of him.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, coal is not simply thrown into the boiler to heat hot water."

Liang Chunqing continued to explain.

Zhao Wenmu really thought that it was just a matter of simply throwing coal in.

"It is a technical job to heat hot water. The amount of filler, the flow rate of the air inlet, the concentration of coal ash... these factors will affect the efficiency of heat exchange."

"For cost considerations, only the solution with the highest heat exchange efficiency will have the lowest power generation cost! At the same time, the loss of the boiler will be the lowest!"

"The 5500-calorie coal has the best heat exchange efficiency for most of the current boilers."

Liang Chunqing's explanation is well-founded.

Naturally, the standard used by so many thermal power plants across the country cannot be thought of out of brains.

Everything is abnormal, there is a reason behind it.

"So it's like this, I really learned it!"

Zhao Wenmu said with emotion.

"What is the price of thermal coal that meets the requirements now? Is it easy to buy?"

"I heard that the coal production seems to be insufficient!"

Zhao Wenmu continued to ask.

Shihou, who accompanied Zhao Wenmu to the banquet and acted as a transparent person the whole time, immediately poured wine for Lou Guojing and others.

"Coal is not cheap now! The cheapest one costs 50 yuan a ton. The key is that there is no market for the price!"

Speaking of this, Liang Chunqing seems to have a stomach full of bitterness.

Even Lou Guojing couldn't help but say:
"The peak of electricity consumption is coming, and I'm afraid there will be a shortage of electricity in the future!"
