Chapter 689: Fight against the black coal kiln
Popular recommendation:
A report titled The Slaves of the Black Coal Mine appeared in a weekly magazine on Hong Kong Island.
It's already the 21st century, and there are still slaves. This is a very attractive gimmick that instantly attracts a lot of attention.
More importantly, the black coal kilns still use the disabled and mentally handicapped children. These are all vulnerable groups, and they are the most sympathetic to people.
Immediately afterwards, foreign media also rushed to reprint reports and hype this topic.
Media such as the BBC, even if they fabricate fake news from time to time, will smear China. Now that they have finally found a gun, how can they easily let go of this good opportunity!
For a time, foreign media swarmed like flies that smelled blood. Even at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, foreign reporters asked questions about the black coal mine.
This can be a hornet's nest, not to mention the crazy hype of foreign media, just being asked about the regular press conference of the ministries and commissions, how can the leaders ignore it!
In a certain conference room, the leader was sitting in the middle, looking at everyone with ashen faces, while the participants in the conference room lowered their heads one after another, not daring to show their air.
It's appalling, it's appalling! Black coal mines, slave laborers, and all disabled people! Where is the law of the state! Where is the law of nature! The key is that this kind of thing happened under our noses! So many of us don't even know it! Neglect! We This is a serious dereliction of duty!
The leader scolded the crowd for a while. After the leader's scolding was over, a daring one said: Leader, we have investigated, and the source of this news is an overseas environmental protection agency called Green Warrior.
This environmental protection agency has been sponsored by overseas funds for a long time, often in the name of environmental protection, creating fake news, or out of context, to smear my country's economic development!
The leader snorted coldly: Then the use of slave labor in this black coal mine is also fake news? It is also taken out of context? There are pictures and recordings, you dare to say that they are all fake?
And I heard that the local public security department has been dispatched, raided the black coal mine, and rescued more than 70 disabled and mentally handicapped people who were abducted and trafficked!
When it was mentioned, the person in charge of the matter quickly reported: According to the clues in the media, we immediately locked the location of the black coal mine, and then dispatched 120 police officers to successfully destroy the black coal mine.
A total of 13 suspects were arrested and 75 miners were rescued in this operation. Unfortunately, the mine owner is at large. We have issued a wanted notice and are currently in pursuit.
In addition, we learned the contact information of the human traffickers gang from the arrested suspects, and then we followed the clues and destroyed a human traffickers organization specializing in abducting and selling the disabled, mentally handicapped and homeless people, arrested six suspects, and Confiscated vans, trucks and other tools!
This is far from enough! The leader shook his head and continued: It's just one black coal mine, and such a serious problem has been dug up. What about other black coal mines? Will the problem be more serious?
Nowadays, the matter of this black coal mine is paying attention at home and abroad, especially the foreign media, which have begun to use the topic to plaster our country, so there must be no more similar incidents!
It is illegal to open black coal mines, not to mention these black coal mines have more serious illegal acts! Therefore, all black coal mines must be banned and completely eradicated, and none of them can be left!
Leader, it's probably not an easy task to completely eradicate black coal mines! This is related to the jobs of many people. As far as I know, many villages' funds are supported by black coal mines. Someone said to persuade.
I know, you want to say that the black coal mine affects the interests of too many people! The leader snorted coldly, and then continued; The black coal mine is a tumor, and we can't bleed and feel pain when we cut the tumor. Let the cancer develop freely!
I don't care how many people's interests are involved, how many protective umbrellas there are, there is only one sentence here,
That is the stubborn disease of black coal mines, and the output of black coal mines must be normalized, and black coal mines must not be allowed to revive!
I have already issued a military order with the superior leadership to eradicate the black coal mines within three months. But before I go, I must fire you all first!
Seeing the leader lose such a temper, everyone already realized that this time, the ban on black coal mines is probably going to be serious.
...
Although Ergou Village is not big, there are three black coal kilns in the village.
The three black coal kilns do not use slave labor. The people working in these three black coal kilns are all local farmers, and the money from coal mining will also pay part of the so-called contracting fee to the village.
When the news of the closure of the black coal kilns came, the three black coal kilns immediately stopped work and sent the workers home.
I've started investigating the black coal mines again! The accountant in the village sighed and continued; It is estimated that the work will be stopped for ten days and a half months, and the contract fee for this month will be reduced again.
This is not the first time. It happens every year, but when it's not a gust of wind, when the gust of wind passes, it will be calm! It just happened to let the villagers rest for a few days and dig coal in the coal kiln as a whole, which is also very hard. .
The village chief paused, then said, The contract fees for these three kilns have been collected this year, just in time to repair the roads in the village, especially the dirt road at the east end of the village, which must be repaired!
While the two were chatting, the car that sealed the black coal kiln team drove into the village.
Where's the village cadre? The town staff shouted, and the village chief and the accountant immediately went out to greet him.
The leaders of the city have come to seal up the black coal kilns! I heard that there are three black coal kilns in your village? All of them have to be closed this time! said the town staff.
There used to be three black coal kilns in our village, but they stopped digging them a long time ago! The village chief went on to explain: A few years ago, didn't the state want to ban black coal kilns! Our village responded to the call of the state and put black coal kilns at that time. Shut it down!
Really? The town staff sneered. He is also a grassroots worker. How could he not know about the mining of black coal kilns in Ergou Village!
Since it's closed, let's take a look! This time it was the work team sent by the city.
No problem! The village chief had a fearless expression. Anyway, the black coal kiln had been shut down, and there was no one in it, so he was not afraid of the work team to check on the spot.
Moreover, this kind of activity of sealing up black coal kilns happens every year. When it is strict, it can be checked twice a year. The village chief has long been used to it.
The village chief brought the working group to the location of the black coal kiln. The working team confirmed the locations of the three black coal kilns, took out their mobile phone, and made a call.
After a while, I saw a concrete mixer slowly driving over.
Seeing the concrete mixer truck, the village chief's expression changed slightly: What is this for?
Seal down the black coal kiln! said the working group, pointing to the entrance of the black coal kiln, and then said, This is it, seal the kiln entrance for me!
The concrete mixer truck stopped and started pouring concrete out, intending to seal the entrance to the black coal kiln.
The village chief's face turned pale in an instant.
In the past, the black coal kiln was sealed with a seal at most, but now the kiln mouth is directly sealed with concrete.
If nothing else, it is not easy to open the hole sealed by concrete.
The black coal mine is closed every year, this time I'm afraid it's going to be real! The village chief secretly thought.
...
The banning of black coal mines is carried out every year, and some counties and cities engage in the seizure of black coal mines more than once a year.
However, black coal mines have always been banned repeatedly. One reason is that there are too many black coal mines, which are almost everywhere in some major coal-producing provinces. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate.
The second is because more interests are involved. The large and small vested interest groups behind the black coal mines make it difficult to completely eradicate the black coal mines. Even if the black coal mines are closed for a while, they will re-emerge under the maintenance of the protective umbrella.
But these are not problems, as long as the superiors are willing to make up their minds, eradicating the black coal mines is not an easy task!
The sudden action to ban black coal mines made those who originally bought coal from black coal kilns have to go to regular coal mines to buy coal, and coal prices naturally ushered in a wave of substantial increases.
In the past few years, there have been several rising tides for coal, and many people have made a fortune by frying coal. Whenever the price of coal rises, there will be a large influx of funds, which will further push up the price of coal. price.
In the previous coal price increase, those speculators have already made a lot of money. After tasting the sweetness, when coal prices rose again, speculators flocked decisively, and many speculators even mortgaged their houses to speculate on coal.
And the more coal prices rise, the more people buy coal.
Most people's thinking is to buy up and not down. The more the price rises, the stronger the desire to buy, and the fall of the price will affect the sales.
Coal, as the main energy source, can be regarded as a necessity, and the phenomenon of buying up and not buying down is even more serious.
The price of coal, as it did two years ago, kept rising like a rocket.
...
At the headquarters of the Green Warriors Organization, Zhao Liang knocked on the door and walked into Commissioner Wang's office.
Mr. Wang, are you looking for me? Zhao Liang said respectfully.
The reporters we sent to the mainland to interview recently found a very good news material. The large-scale closure of black coal mines in the mainland has led to a rise in coal prices, which has greatly increased industrial costs! Committee member Wang said with enthusiasm.
Seal the black coal mine? Is it because we have reported the use of slave labor in the black coal mine before? Zhao Liang immediately asked.
I think it must be related! But what we are focusing on now is not black coal mines, but the increase in industrial costs caused by rising coal prices! Commissioner Wang paused and continued:
In recent years, a lot of foreign capital has invested in the mainland. What they see is that the production cost in the mainland is relatively low. If we hype up the increase in industrial costs now, it will definitely discourage many foreign investors!
Zhao Liang nodded suddenly, and Commissioner Wang handed a document to Zhao Liang and continued, This is the trend of coal prices in the mainland in the past three months, you must make good use of these materials!
Zhao Liang took the document and looked down. In the past three months, the price of coal has been really high, one price per day!
In three months, the price of coal has risen so much! Isn't the power plant losing a lot of money! Zhao Liang said casually.
Yeah, the power plant will definitely lose money, but if there is a loss, there will be a profit. Coal prices keep rising, and coal mining companies will definitely make a lot of money! Commissioner Wang said.
Coal mining companies make a lot of money, and Li Weidong's Dongshan Mining is also among them! Thinking of this, Zhao Liang suddenly felt extremely panicked.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Thinking that his own operation helped Li Weidong make money, Zhao Liang subconsciously slapped himself three times.
...
When Li Weidong saw Zhao Jinshan, he saw that Zhao Jinshan was drunk and dozing off on the boss chair.
This room smells of alcohol! How much did you drink at noon! Li Weidong said, pouring a cup of tea for Zhao Jinshan.
Zhao Jinshan took the teacup and drank it before saying, At noon, several steel mill bosses invited me to dinner, mainly to buy coal from me. Those people are too good to drink. Get me drunk.
Steel mill owner? Li Weidong frowned and continued, Brother Zhao, in my opinion, our country is producing more and more steel, and overcapacity of steel is a matter of time. The market is so big, and there is a lot of production. But it can't be sold!
In the future, if you don't have the technology and can't produce high value-added special steel, the life of iron and steel enterprises will not be easy. We also have to be careful, it is best to collect cash and not take credit, so as not to be trapped by those steel companies.
Don't worry about this, now that coal is so tense, cash can't necessarily buy the goods! How can I do credit transactions! Zhao Jinshan raised his head and asked, By the way, do you have anything to do with me?
Li Weidong nodded: I have to go to Thailand. Didn't my agricultural machinery factory take an order of 5 billion baht from Thailand. Now the transaction is only half completed, and there is another moth in Thailand, and they propose again. I have to deal with new conditions!
They've all started trading, and they've put forward additional conditions. This Thai person has no credibility! Zhao Jinshan snorted coldly.
Southeast Asians are doing business with this virtue, and it's good to get used to it. Li Weidong sighed, and then said: I also reflected on it, doing business with people in these poor places is not enough to rely on cheap prices. It takes solid technology.
The Southeast Asians are obviously unfamiliar, and doing business with them has to be a combination of grace and grace. In this respect, I really need to learn from the Japanese. They just rely on the skills in their hands, and they will kill those Southeast Asians to death!
