Chapter 205 13 Coking Coal
Yang Dongsheng looked into the young man's eyes and knew without asking that Yang Dongsheng must have become the heinous villain in the young man's eyes.

Yang Dongsheng cried out in his heart, Ma De, you want to stand out, jump out and make troubles, but if you don't succeed, you will hate me, where can I justify it!
The scene was a little cold for a while.

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Dongsheng. He hoped that Yang Dongsheng would take the initiative to intercede for his nephew. He pushed the boat along the way so that there would be a step down, but Yang Dongsheng didn't make any moves.

Yang Dongsheng thought it was funny, why did he plead for his nephew?Anyway, no matter whether Yang Dongsheng interceded or not, his nephew would definitely hate Yang Dongsheng, why would Yang Dongsheng still be that bad guy?
Since you are playing tricks on others, you must have the awareness of being slapped in the face in public.

Just want to take advantage, don't want to bear the burden?What are you thinking!

"Cough cough!" Coughs could be heard from time to time in the room.

Although everyone ate vegetables and drank alcohol, it seemed that they didn't see this side, but every little action was reminding the middle-aged people to end this farce quickly!Since you haven't counted others, you have to admit it. Everyone's time is precious.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, turned to look at his nephew with a big mouth, "Crack!"

This slap didn't dare to be playful anymore, and five bright red marks were left on the young man's face. The young man covered his face and looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief, "Uncle?"

"What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you hear what I said? Apologize to Mr. Yang!" The middle-aged man pointed at the young man and shouted.

The young man blushed, walked up to Yang Dongsheng, and bowed his head unwillingly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I was wrong!"

Yang Dongsheng waved his hand, "Drink less in the future! Also, don't be so stupid in the future, some people tell you to stand out, if something happens, he won't help you!"

Yang Dongsheng suddenly discovered that this was a good opportunity to provoke, and in the spirit of making a big shot, Yang Dongsheng decisively took action.

Hearing the words, the young man subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man.

Yang Dongsheng was immediately happy, this kid really couldn't help but choose.

The face of the middle-aged man was as ugly as if he had eaten Xiang. Even if they went home to talk and untie their knots, this uncle might not feel relieved to use this nephew in the future.

Yang Dongsheng glanced around.

He dared to bet that one of the people here today must have participated in what happened just now.

At this moment, Liu Xingbang secretly gave Yang Dongsheng a thumbs up—well done, buddies support you!

Yang Dongsheng responded with a smile. The relationship between these steel factory bosses is complicated. One second they were cooperating, and the next second they might stab each other in the back.

The uncles and nephews are willing to stand out, so the other bosses naturally promised them benefits.

Yang Dongsheng let the uncle and nephew suffer, and the other bosses would no longer have to pay for this benefit, so they were naturally happy; if Yang Dongsheng couldn't take it, they could join forces to cut Yang Dongsheng's price, so they were naturally happy too.

Anyway, I am happy, why not do it?

Speaking of which, if Yang Dongsheng hadn't been able to engage in foreign exchange in Shanghai at the beginning, Yang Dongsheng had started to pay attention to foreign exchange since then, and he might really be in their way today.

If viewed purely based on the official exchange rate, domestic iron ore prices are indeed higher than international prices for a long time.

In the 90s, there were a large number of small blast furnaces in our country. The advantage of small blast furnaces is that they have relatively low requirements on the quality of iron ore.

There are only a few national treasure-level leading enterprises in the steel industry who can get foreign exchange to buy iron ore.

It was not until the beginning of the new century, when the country’s foreign exchange was abundant, and Americans began to print money in order to get out of the economic crisis, and the U.S. dollar depreciated sharply, that the country was willing to spend a lot of foreign exchange, import iron ore, and at the same time have the conditions to close the small blast furnace.

Yang Dongsheng took Yang Huai out of the private room, "From now on, their iron ore will be loaded last!"

Yang Huai expressed his understanding, "Brother, haven't you always wanted to get dollars? It just occurred to me that we can export iron ore!"

"It's not that easy! To export iron ore, first of all, we have to obtain import and export qualifications. The Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant imports a full set of Japanese equipment, and we have to use foreign exchange to buy high-grade imported iron ore to make steel. We are so far away from Shanghai. Recently, under such circumstances, the higher authorities will never allow us, a private enterprise, to export iron ore, and at the same time, the Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant uses foreign exchange to buy iron ore; When the U.S. dollar arrives in our hands, there will not be much left; thirdly, this U.S. dollar is too hot, and the projects that can earn U.S. dollars these days are too enviable, and our little shoulders can’t bear it at all. If it is in our hands, the mine will be taken away by the higher-ups."

The two went to other rooms to toast.

There are many chimneys on the edge of Yunhe County, and the billowing smoke almost covers half of the sky.

Not long after driving through this industrial area, two huge derricks appeared ahead, and a hatchback car was parked on the side of the road.

Yang Dongsheng jumped out of the car, took a few breaths to prevent himself from being so dizzy, and then set up a pergola with his hands to look at the two derricks.

"Youxi, are you sure this is it?"

Today, it was not Ding Wu and Liu Xinyu who drove Yang Dongsheng, but Yang Jiayun's driver Zhao Youxi, "This is it! When I was playing in the army, I knew a friend who served here. According to him, we In the prefecture, there is only this labor reform coal mine."

Regarding the reform-through-labor coal mine, Yang Dongsheng certainly couldn't rely entirely on Minister Hu.

Like other mines, there is a small street at the entrance of this coal mine, but compared to other coal mines, the scale of this street is much smaller.

This is not surprising. After all, the miners here are all prisoners and cannot go out. Compared with other coal mines, they lack the most important source of customers.

After finding a restaurant and asking for a private room, Zhao Youxi went to contact his friend, and Yang Dongsheng waited in the private room.

After a short meeting, Zhao Youxi came in accompanied by a burly young man in military uniform.

"President Yang, this is Binzi!"

"Hello!" Yang Dongsheng shook hands with the visitor. These were unusually steady and strong hands. "Let's order first!"

Zhao Youxi had already communicated with Binzi, and taking advantage of the interval between serving dishes, Binzi directly poured out everything he knew about the situation.

Minister Hu's news is correct, this coal mine is indeed ready to sell.

But at the same time, it also brought some bad news. This coal mine was built in the early years of the founding of New China. Due to its long history, the mine equipment is extremely old and the design is backward. The problem, especially the shaft of the auxiliary shaft, began to leak a lot of water many years ago. The mine has taken many measures, but it still cannot stop the leak from getting worse.

The good news is that the mine does not produce ordinary coal, they produce 1/3 coking coal.

Yang Dongsheng did not forget to write, it is "1/3 coking coal", pronounced "one third of coking coal". This kind of coal is an important raw material for coking, and its price is much higher than that of thermal coal sent to generate electricity.

Moreover, it is very close to the coking plant and has convenient transportation.
