Chapter 604 Small Coal Kiln

For many years, Guizhou Province has been trying to solve the supply problem of iron ore, especially with the construction of several new blast furnaces, the demand for iron ore in Guizhou Province is bound to increase greatly.

Not at all.

After exploration, a large-scale iron ore was discovered in Wumeng Mountain a few years ago, but the grade was too low, with a comprehensive average grade of only 30%, and various elements such as lead, copper, and zinc were associated with it.

Mining and beneficiation are extremely difficult.

Moreover, although the newly discovered iron mine is only about [-] kilometers away from the Wumengshan Iron and Steel Plant, it is separated by several hills. The karst landform of Guizhou Province makes road construction very difficult.

The grade is low, the geological conditions are complicated, and roads need to be built... none of these are problems for Yang Dongsheng.

In addition, Yang Huai also took over several small iron mines in Wumengshan City.

After walking around Wumengshan, the provincial capital and the most resource-rich city, Yang Dongsheng formally held the signing ceremony after returning from Wumengshan.

In fact, Yang Huai had basically negotiated the contract, and Yang Dongsheng came to check it out and then witness the signing ceremony.

In addition, regarding the purchase of land in Zhucheng New City, the scholarship system that Yang Dongsheng has implemented in other places will also be copied to Zhucheng, Wumengshan, Qiannan and other cities.

After leaving Zhucheng in Guizhou Province, Yang Dongsheng's next stop was Rongcheng, the capital of Sichuan Province.

As soon as he got off the plane, Yang Dongsheng immediately felt the difference between the two provinces.

Although Wumeng Mountain is further south than Rongcheng in terms of latitude, the temperature in the two places is only 28 degrees. When you come to Rongcheng, the temperature jumps directly to more than 35 degrees, and there is a strong humidity in the air. sauna day.

Whether in terms of population or economic size, Sichuan Province is much larger than Qian Province, and its market is also larger.

Sichuan Province is rich in natural gas reserves, so coal-bed methane is not very urgent, but they need blast furnaces and steel rolling equipment. Sichuan Province has a well-known household appliance enterprise in China, and they also need cold-rolled strip steel production lines.

Moreover, Sichuan Province is short of coal.

Sichuan Province has abundant hydropower resources, but hydropower has seasonal disadvantages, which is most vividly reflected in Zhejiang Province.

Coal-fired power generation is currently the cheapest and least seasonal way of generating electricity.

In addition to power generation, industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals all need coal.

Although Sichuan Province has more than 100 billion tons of proven coal reserves, they are mainly concentrated in the southern mountainous areas.

The economic center of Sichuan Province, from Rongcheng to Mianzhou, has only a few small coal mines, and there is still a shortage of coking coal.

They exchanged equipment for mines, and chose some coal mines and iron mines with better traffic conditions and greater potential for production increase, but resources were on the verge of exhaustion.

In addition, some copper ore and molybdenum ore were selected.

Rongcheng has also planned a new urban area.

Rongcheng was a new first-tier city in its previous life, and its potential for real estate development was much higher than fortification.

The new urban area of ​​Rongcheng is in the south of the old urban area, and it is also not favored by others. Yang Dongsheng is near the planned Rongcheng City Government - there is a large wetland there, and a large piece of land has been selected.

Coming out of Rongcheng, Yang Dongsheng's second stop in Sichuan Province was Rongzhou City in the south of Sichuan Province.
There was no airport in Rongzhou, so they could only take the train there, but as soon as they got out of the train station, Yang Dongsheng found that they were surrounded.

A group of unknown people at the scene shouted to tell Dongsheng Mining to get out, Rongzhou does not welcome outsiders...

It wasn't until more than an hour later that everyone was drenched in sweat that a man in his forties who claimed to be sent by the Rongzhou Municipal Government greeted him in the car and took him to the hotel. Apologize, "President Yang, I'm really sorry, no one knows how they got the letter..."

Yang Huai closed the door and turned to look at Yang Dongsheng.

They came to Rongzhou because they had good contact with Rongzhou city. These people actually went to the train station to block them accurately, and they blocked them for more than an hour. Who would believe that there was no participation of Rongzhou city?

Yang Dongsheng didn't expect to encounter such a moth. Their coming this time must have touched the interests of some people.

Yang Dongsheng waved to Yang Huai, and Yang Huai came over.

……

Rongzhou is the largest coal-producing city in Sichuan Province, with proven reserves of more than 50 billion tons of coal, including nearly 30 billion tons of anthracite. Rongzhou is also rich in pyrite, with proven reserves of about 15 billion tons.

After the completion of the Three Gorges, Rongzhou Port will become an important port on the Yangtze River. Rongzhou’s coal and iron ore can be used for its own use to build a large steel base, and food delivery can supply the entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Yang Dongsheng had to get this place.

The next few days will be the investigation arranged by Rongzhou.

A dark mine, the hole is supported by a few logs.

The height of the entire cave is at most 1 meters by visual inspection, and there is only one mine in this mine. There is no auxiliary shaft or ventilation shaft. This kind of mine is commonly known as "one-eyed shaft".

Yang Huai was standing beside Yang Dongsheng, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out. This was not the mine that was agreed upon at all.

Not long after, a man crawled out of the hole on all fours. His face was smeared black, and a straight rope was slung over his shoulder. Behind him was a bathtub-sized basket made of bamboo, filled with A basket full of coal.

After the first person came out, several more people came out of the hole one after another.

Yang Dongsheng saw that one of them was still a child.

After several people came out, they immediately ran to the other side of the cave entrance, where there were plastic buckets, bamboo tubes, or empty wine bottles filled with water.

Yang Dongsheng saw the child pick up one of the bamboo tubes and gulp down two gulps. He also took out a pancake from a dirty cloth bag and started gnawing on it without washing his hands.

These people only glanced at Yang Dongsheng and the others at the entrance of the cave, drank water, ate something, unloaded the coal, and dragged the bamboo baskets into the mine again bent over.

"How much money can they make this trip?" Yang Dongsheng asked the mine manager next to him.

The mine manager stretched out his hand and gestured, "Thirty-five!"

"Mr. Yang, what do you think of this mine?" asked the man who picked them up at the train station.

"Not bad!" Yang Dongsheng said.

The child dragged the bamboo basket into the mine again, and he was only a few years older than Yang Miao. It was summer vacation, and Yang Dongsheng thought he might be earning tuition for himself.

Yang Miao was stunned from the beginning to the end, and Yang Dongsheng touched his son's head. Not to mention Yang Miao, even Yang Dongsheng has repeatedly refreshed the lower limit of his cognition these days.

Some mines directly use well wheels as hoisting winches, and some mines use rats as gas detectors, which are called "ground horses".

After returning to the hotel after a day's visit, Yang Huai was about to go back to his room when Manager Jiang of Dongsheng Foods gave him a wink.
