Chapter 202 The First Chashan Coal Mine Reorganization Conference [3500]

Shanghuai Village has been feeling like the New Year recently.

The large square in front of the two-story building of the village committee has never been empty, with cars coming and going. In the past, it was rare to see a few private cars in the whole county, but now there are at least four or five cars parked in the large square of the village committee almost every day.

The villagers were dazzled by the sight.

Some people even joked that today's Shanghuai Village is more grand and lively than the government building of the county party committee and county government. All the people who come and go are important figures, either officials or wealthy people.

There is no early rise without profit.

The purpose of everyone's visit is simple: to visit the peat mine in the back mountain.

Storage galore.

The transportation is convenient.

It is easy to mine and once it is put into mining, it will definitely make a fortune. This is the consensus of everyone.

Let's talk about the abundant reserves first. The county has already issued a document which clearly states that the Chashan Coal Mine is a medium-sized coal mine with peat reserves between 2 million and million tons.

This is rare in the South.

Speaking of convenient transportation, Shanghuai Village is probably the first village in Zhao County to have an asphalt road, and it has an 8m-wide avenue right from the start, which can accommodate large trucks in both directions. This is probably unique in the entire Baoqing City. Looking at the entire Hunan Province, I dare not say it is the best, but at least in this era, it is rare to see.

I still remember that when the news first came out, both people from the county and people from the company were stunned.

This small mountain village has convenient transportation, with a two-way asphalt road that allows trucks to go directly to the mining area. If we can take it over, we don't even have to build roads, we can just make money.

Moreover, the state-owned coal mine is less than ten kilometers away from here, and even the freight railway branch line built by the state specifically for the state-owned coal mine is less than 10 kilometers away from Shanghuai Village.

Just think about it, as long as you take the mine car of the state-owned coal mine, you can directly dig the coal from underground and transport it to coal-deficient areas across the country via the railway branch line.

Finally, the key point is that it is shallow coal, easy to mine and low cost, so isn’t it really like picking up money?

No wonder Shanghuai Village became a hot commodity as soon as the news got out. Everyone wanted to take a bite, so much so that everyone tried their best to attract it. The two top leaders of Shanghuai Village, the old village party secretary and the village director, were busy with happy worries.

They were happy that Shanghuai Village had finally turned around and the villagers were going to live a good life. As the leaders, they would naturally benefit from the rise of the tide. But they were also worried that so many wolves would come and take away all the meat. The soup left would not be enough for them to drink, let alone share it among the villagers to taste.

So I have been feeling a little uneasy these days.

Until a few days ago, the old village party secretary thought about it and mustered up the courage to call Lu Yang who was heading south. After receiving Luoyang's promise of one million, he was able to put his anxiety to rest.

Originally, his plan was to delay time as much as possible and wait for Lu Yang to come back.

Unfortunately, because the situation was so serious and the impact was growing, the county was also afraid that someone from above would come down to reap the benefits, so they finally held a meeting and decided that the final decision had to be made today, no matter what.

Outside the conference room.

The village party secretary held a speech in his hand, took a deep breath, and made final preparations.

"Success or failure depends on this one move. Grandpa Huai Tree, God of Land, ancestors of Shang Huai Village, Buddha, Guanyin, Jade Emperor, Three Pure Ones, Marx and Lenin, please bless the villagers of Shang Huai Village. Whether we can achieve collective prosperity depends on today, today. Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Because he was too nervous, he invited all the grandfathers he could.

He is alone today.

Director Lao Ma was involved in a million-dollar mining theft case in the back mountain. As a person directly involved in the village committee, no police came to look for him for a while, and no one from above came down to talk to him. He thought he had escaped, but he didn't expect that suddenly this morning, without any official notice, he was taken away in a car from above.

Temporary plenipotentiary representative of the village committee.

The old village party secretary is now both excited and nervous.

If this matter is accomplished, it will naturally be a great achievement. Even if I retire in the future, with this support, my descendants will not have to worry about having no place to stand in the village within a hundred years.

And even if I am hung on the wall in the future, I might even have a separate page opened for myself in the family tree.

But if I do the splits and the villagers are unhappy, it will be no joke and I will bear all the responsibility.

It involves everyone's vital interests, and the villagers can point fingers at him and say anything nasty. I'm afraid his fate as the village party secretary will not be much better than that of the director. The other party only faces accountability from above, but he needs to face accountability from the masses below. Accountability from above means at most losing his job, but accountability from the masses below will punish his ancestors for eighteen generations.

"let's start."

“This problem must be solved today.”

As the door of the conference room was opened, more than a dozen people walked in one after another. On the podium, Du Lingling, who was holding an enamel cup in both hands, placed the cup heavily on the table in front of her, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Coincidentally, she came here today on behalf of the county committee, and as a deputy, Lu Yang's old acquaintance, Section Chief Jia, was also there, sitting next to Director Du. What's more interesting is that as an ordinary section officer of the county investment promotion office, even Zhuang Zhuang's fourth brother-in-law, Officer Li, was present today, acting as a temporary recorder of this meeting. If the county committee didn't take into account the relationship between him and the old village party secretary, no one would believe it.

Lu Lingling said this first: there must be a result today.

It was she who persuaded the county committee to take the initiative and participate in the industrial development of the Chashan Coal Mine with funding from the county's finances. The aim was to learn from the advanced urban construction experience of the coastal areas. The county committee took the lead in making bold investments and embracing reform and opening up with the utmost sincerity. Don't be afraid of failure. As the old man said, cross the river by feeling the stones.

I don’t know how she convinced the county party committee leaders.

Is it because of the success of the small commodity wholesale market? With the precedent set before it, is the county party committee preparing to replicate its previous success?
Or do you simply value the relationship behind "her"?

None of this is known.

In short, after the county committee held meetings for several days to discuss the matter, they actually agreed to her request. You know, although this seems to be a profitable business, it is not completely impossible to lose money, such as mine accidents, water seepage in mines, and a sharp drop in international coal prices. Everything is possible. There is no project in the world that determines profitability. After all, accidents happen every day. And if the county's financial funds are used for investment for the first time, once the losses are incurred and the debts are high, it will not be a problem in the future.

In this day and age, someone has to step up and take the blame.

So in other words, the county leadership this time is quite courageous. Even if it is because of Du Lingling's background, it all shows that the county leadership this time has the courage to go to the gambling table.

After introducing Du Lingling, there was another old acquaintance of Lu Yang in the conference room. He had had several meals with Lu Yang in the past, sold several large trucks to Lu Yang, and later bought a lot of cloth from Lu Yang. He was a senior executive of a state-owned coal mine, Director Li Lianming.

At this time, he was representing the state-owned coal mine and was already making the first speech at the meeting: "Let me throw out some ideas. The peat reserves discovered under the Chashan Mountain are not low. As the largest coal mining industry in Zhao County and even the entire Hunan Province, our state-owned coal mine should take the lead and participate in the mining."

"According to our technical staff, if we want to make the coal under the tea mountain generate economic value in a safe, scientific and efficient way, we must have a set of safe, scientific and efficient coal mining facilities."

"And this kind of facility is currently only available in the Zhaoxian State-owned Coal Mine in the entire Hunan Province. Who else but us?"

"Therefore, the unsealing and reorganization of Chashan Coal Mine must be participated by our state-owned coal mine. And I also say here that once Chashan Coal Mine is unsealed and reorganized, from the board of directors to the management, our state-owned coal mine must take the lead and have absolute initiative."

"Now, I announce that the first phase of the restructuring of Chashan Coal Mine will require 200 million yuan of self-raised funds. Our state-owned coal mine will pledge 50 yuan, accounting for 25%, and human resources and advanced equipment will account for 5%, accounting for a total of 30%. Those who are in favor and those who are against, please make your speech now."

After saying this, he glanced around the entire audience, the state-owned enterprise boss was full of vigor.

Du Lingling was not to be outdone. "The county is planning to set up a city investment company, with a capital of 50 yuan, to subscribe for 25% of the shares of Chashan Coal Mine. Who is in favor and who is against?"

30%+25%=55%.

More than half of the share was eaten up in one gulp, and no one present dared to raise any objection.

Besides, strictly speaking, the ownership of the Chashan Coal Mine land is still in the hands of the Shanghuai Village Committee. Even the owner has no objection, so why should they have any objection?

For a while.

Everyone's eyes turned to the old village party secretary at the same time.

The old village secretary stood up, took out the prepared manuscript, and opened it tremblingly: "I, I, on behalf of the Shanghuai Village Committee, subscribe to 25% of the shares of Chashan Coal Mine, with an investment of 30 yuan. In addition, on behalf of Mr. Lu Yang, I authorize him to invest 70 yuan and subscribe to 20% of the shares of Chashan Coal Mine for the land within the radius of Chashan in Shanghuai Village."

Hardly had he finished speaking when a huge uproar ensued.

"what?"

"Who gave you the courage to go to Huai Village? How dare you ask for so much?"

"That's crazy, that must be crazy. 25% + 20% is exactly 45%, plus 25% from the county and 30% from the state-owned coal mine, that's full. So why did you ask us to come? Are you kidding me?"

"Fuck, we don't recognize the fundraising from you guys in Huai Village, especially that jerk named Lu Yang. Does anyone know who he is? He hasn't even shown up yet, but he dares to ask for so much. Aren't you afraid that he will choke to death?"

"That's right. We don't recognize it. Besides, everyone knows that Shanghuai Village is just a poor village. You just sold several cars from the tea factory to repay the bank loan. Where did you get 300,000 yuan to use for the recognition?"

"Yeah, where did you get the three hundred thousand?"

"And that guy named Lu Yang, what kind of person is that? He dares to bid 70 yuan, and he's not afraid that the wind will blow his tongue away. We don't allow such a powerful person in Zhao County. If you have the ability, take out 100 million yuan in cash, and I will respect you. If you can't take it out, then we won't respect your subscription."

"Yes, it must be invalidated. I think we should only keep 10% of the land deed equity of Shanghuai Village, and the rest should all be taken out for us to pledge. We should not let some random person remotely control and want to take all the shares. What are we doing then?"

"That's right, superiors, you have to think carefully. What if this person can't come up with the money? Wouldn't you laugh your ass off? Unlike us, we all have real money."

For a moment, the entire conference room was in an uproar. Everyone was blaming Shanghuai Village for their greed and the ridiculous appearance of the name Lu Yang.

They don't even think about it.

The land belongs to Shanghuai Village, and the tea factory that still nominally exists on the Chashan Mountain also belongs to Shanghuai Village. Shanghuai Village has absolute control over the unblocking and restarting of the Chashan Coal Mine. Now, in addition to the shares obtained by issuing the land deed, it has also subscribed to an additional 10% of the shares, and this is a 50% premium. They actually have the nerve to blame. Why don't they blame the county party committee or the state-owned coal mine instead of pointing fingers at their greed?
In the final analysis, it is still bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
