Chapter 464 Resource Tragedy
"Mr. Xiang, long time no see!" Yang Dongsheng shook hands with the visitor.

The person who came was Xiang Mingshan from Mingshan Iron and Steel Works.

Mingshan Iron and Steel Works is mainly engaged in various stainless steel products, which require a large amount of nickel.

At the beginning, when Zhexi Mine was contracted to the outside world, Mingshan general Yang Dongsheng was recruited. Yang Dongsheng also provided Mingshan Iron and Steel Plant with stable nickel for many years, and the two sides cooperated well.

"Is this Mr. Yang's tea mountain?"

"The reclaimed barren hills have planted some tea! They said that they will be able to produce serious tea soon. Please ask the chief taster for a taste!"

"Then I will thank Mr. Yang in advance! It's just..." Xiang Mingshan approached a tea tree, looked at it, and shook his head again, "Who topped the tea tree?"

"It must have been hired!" Yang Dongsheng also took a closer look, but he really couldn't tell if it was good or bad, "Did you beat it well?"

"Not very good!" Xiang Mingshan patted the ashes on his hands.

This means that it is very bad!

"You still bully me, a foreigner!"

"When you go to a new place, you will inevitably be bullied!" Xiang Mingshan said something, but suddenly changed the subject, "I wonder if Mr. Yang is interested in visiting our Oujiang River?"

"Oujiang, does Mr. Xiang know of any good projects?"

"Molybdenum mine, is Mr. Yang interested?"

"I'm interested in all mines!" Yang Dongsheng said.

Molybdenum is also one of the raw materials for producing stainless steel, but unlike nickel, molybdenum is the dominant mineral resource in our country.

China's molybdenum reserves account for almost half of the world, and it is the undisputed number one in the world.

According to Yang Dongsheng's knowledge, there are several good molybdenum mines in Oujiang City. Mingshan Iron and Steel Factory is located in Oujiang, so there is no shortage of molybdenum.

Speaking of Xiang Mingshan, could it be that the molybdenum mine in Oujiang is going to be outsourced?
Yang Dongsheng has not received relevant information yet, and his influence is currently limited to western Zhejiang.

West Zhejiang borders Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, and is an economic depression in Zhejiang Province. The situation is very similar to northern Jiangsu. The economy here is relatively backward, and the competition is relatively mild.

Oujiang City is located in the south of Zhejiang Province. It is well-known on the economic map of China in later generations, especially the private economy. Yang Dongsheng has not yet extended his tentacles to Oujiang River.

"Oujiang has a molybdenum mine to be contracted recently, and the reserves are not bad. What does Mr. Yang think?"

Yang Dongsheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the case, which made him even more confused.

"Mingshan Iron and Steel Works is one of the largest factories in the domestic steel industry! It's not difficult to take over this molybdenum mine with Xiang Zong's strength, right?"

"I know how many catties I have, so I just stick to the stainless steel. If I can make stainless steel well, I am satisfied! I can't do mining!" Xiang Mingshan said.

Yang Dongsheng suddenly realized that he had underestimated Mingshan before. He is a rare sensible person in this era.

However, Yang Dongsheng will not easily believe what he said, "This time the foreign contracting, the competition must not be small? Among other things, I have also participated in many biddings. What qualifications do I need for this bidding?"

Xiang Mingshan smiled, "I'm just passing on a message, the bidding has to be up to Mr. Yang himself! However, there are indeed some obstacles to the registration qualifications. This time the bidding requires two guarantors. If Mr. Yang can't find a suitable candidate for a while, I and I will Our partners can guarantee for Mr. Yang! But if Mr. Yang can win the bidding, he hopes to give priority to our Mingshan Iron and Steel Plant. Our Mingshan Iron and Steel Plant needs at least tens of thousands of tons of molybdenum fine powder every year. Mr. Yang can rest assured that our quotation is absolutely No lower than others!"

He clarified the conditions, which somewhat made Yang Dongsheng let go of his guard, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Before leaving, Yang Dongsheng told Ma Chao, "You have to pay attention to road construction, pay attention to repairing it with great fanfare, and publicize our work, understand?"

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be advertised, and it needs to make some achievements before it can be reported by newspapers and TV stations.

The molybdenum mine contracted out this time is in a county below, and Xiang Mingshan easily helped Yang Dongsheng settle the qualification issue.

Then the two took people to the county to check the mine. The car was driving on a rough road.

Just stop and go like this, it is said that the road of more than 30 kilometers took a long time to get to the place.

"It's here!" Xiang Mingshan got out of the car and pointed forward.

But as soon as Xiang Mingshan finished speaking, he heard a shrill howl, and Yang Dongsheng could barely comprehend part of the meaning, "Father, you died so badly!"

"Brother, why did you leave so early!"

They saw a team of white linen clothes rushing towards them, and several big men were carrying a large wooden coffin.

"Go away, go away! Didn't you see that the road is so wide?"

After all, the two teams made a mistake, but just when Yang Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, there was another burst of howling.

This group of people was even more miserable. They were carrying three coffins, and the people in sackcloth and filial piety cried especially terribly. An old man even fainted from crying.

……

More than a dozen coffins passed by one after another, but no more crying was heard.

Yang Dongsheng looked back to make sure that today's mourning team had passed.

"Is today a good day? Or does Oujiang have a tradition of mass funerals?" Yang Dongsheng asked Xiang Mingshan.

"Not at all!" Who would have thought that they would catch up with them to hold a funeral together, and couldn't hide it from Mingshan, so he could only answer honestly, "Something happened in the mine not long ago!"

In the 80s, molybdenum mines were discovered in this small village deep in the mountains.

A mine was set up in the village, but because the price of molybdenum ore was not high at that time, the village-run enterprise collapsed soon after.

But entering the 90s, the price of molybdenum rose rapidly.

If a child goes up the mountain and picks up a stone, he can exchange it for a bag of apples.

Many people have started mining in their fields, or even under their houses, and village-run enterprises have reopened.

Relying on mining, the villagers were lifted out of poverty in a short period of time, and even bought a car.

The village-run enterprises dug, and the villagers dug privately. Soon the mountains and villages were dug like rat holes.

Although the technical content of mining is not high, it will kill people if it is not done well.

In the past years, mining incidents in the village have happened, but the scale is not large. Occasionally, someone can be dug out quickly. With this stupid and bold energy, no one has ever died in the village.

But just this year, the typhoon came earlier than in previous years, and the rain was particularly heavy.

After two days of heavy rain, the landslide occurred in the early morning.
