Chapter 605 Shocking
Yang Huai whispered something to his follower, Ma Jiu, and Ma Jiu went back to his room to carry a bag on his back.

Together with them, there are two other people who also went to the small coal mine today. One of them is in his twenties, dark and thin; the other is in his thirties, and he is white and fat.

Several people left the hotel.

After Huajing, Shanghai and other cities eliminated noodles one after another, most of the vehicles running on Rongzhou Road were still vans, but that was just right, as there were so many of them that a car couldn't fit in them.

I circled around Rongzhou City for a few times, and changed cars twice on the way. After making sure that no one was following me, several people called a taxi out of Rongzhou City and headed south.

The van finally stopped in front of a teahouse in a small town south of the city.

Tea is produced in Sichuan Province, and the people of Sichuan Province also like to drink tea. Such teahouses are everywhere in Rongzhou.

The private rooms upstairs in the teahouse were booked early today. A middle-aged man took them upstairs with a flattering expression, and pointed to one of the private rooms, "It's inside!"

Dongsheng Mining is not completely rootless in Rongzhou. The last time Yang Huai came to Rongzhou was almost a year ago, and Dongsheng Foods has already planted a mountain of fruit trees in Rongzhou.

Yang Huai opened the door of the private room and glanced inside.

A middle-aged woman was sitting at the door of the private room. The woman was dark and thin. Her clothes were patched and patched. Next to her was a large pannier that was out of proportion to her figure. Put it in your pocket, and put it back quickly when you heard the sound.

Manager Jiang nodded at Yang Huai.

Yang Huai, Ma Jiu, and Manager Jiang followed the man who took them upstairs into another private room.

In the end, only Bai Fat and Hei Shou entered the private room just now.

Since the country liberalized coal prices in 1993, coal prices have more than doubled within a few years. Stimulated by high coal prices, a bunch of small coal mines have sprung up in many places.

Especially in mountainous areas, due to drastic geological changes, coal seams are prone to leakage. In some places, there are thousands of small coal mines in a single county, which are almost like mouse holes.

The resource recovery rate of these small coal mines is extremely low. Often only three tons or even less can be mined out of [-] tons of coal reserves. The entire coal seam is messed up, not to mention wasting resources, and more importantly, accidents occur frequently.

These small coal mines that don't even have formalities will naturally not report all the accidents honestly.

When the middle-aged woman saw the person coming in, she immediately became more nervous and rubbed the hem of her clothes vigorously.

The fat and white guy took out his notebook and pen, and the thin and black guy hurriedly said to the woman, "Don't be afraid!"

Hearing the familiar accent, the middle-aged woman finally relaxed a little.

……

Yang Huai and Manager Jiang chatted while drinking tea. After a short meeting, they heard a low whimpering sound from the next door. They waited for more than two hours before the sound of the door opening came from the private room next door.

"How is it?" Yang Huai asked the fat one.

"Shocking!" Bai Pang said.

"Is there enough material?"

"Enough, enough!" Bai Pang nodded affirmatively.

Yang Huai gave Ma Jiu a wink, and Ma Jiu opened the backpack, and there were stacks of hundred-yuan bills in it, besides two steel pipes with threads, one end of the steel pipes was wrapped with cloth strips.

After everyone got the money, Yang Huai pointed at the middle-aged woman again, "Ask the boss to pack some refreshments and bring them back to her!"

The moment he opened the door just now, Yang Huai couldn't help thinking of himself more than ten years ago.

Back at the hotel, Yang Huai knocked on Yang Dongsheng's door directly.

"Ready?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"The "Lingnan Daily" has cooperated many times, and the reporters from "South China", "New York Times", and "Washington Post" are also all the same!" Yang Huai felt that it was still not enough to relieve his anger, "Brother, I don't think it is necessary. It's so troublesome, let's buy a few more train tickets and send these people directly to Huajing..."

"That's going to tear you apart!" Yang Dongsheng shook his head. The Sichuan Province still hopes to facilitate this cooperation. "Get someone to book a ticket, and we'll leave tomorrow morning!"

These days, Yang Dongsheng was led to look around the small coal mines, and the main leaders of Rongzhou City didn't even show their faces.

In recent years, Yang Dongsheng has never been left out like this.

Early the next morning, the middle-aged man who picked them up at the train station was going to take Yang Dongsheng and the others to another small coal mine today. He was dumbfounded when he learned that they were leaving, "Mr. Yang, today's visit is all arranged. Alright, the leader will have time in two days!"

"That's really unfortunate. According to our arrangement, the inspection time in Rongzhou is over! If you want to see me, please go to Shanghai!"

Yang Dongsheng got into the taxi directly, and even Rongzhou refused to send them a car.

Leaving Rongzhou, their next stop is Kapok City.

Kapok City has the largest iron ore mine in Southwest China. The proven reserves of magnetite are nearly [-] billion tons. The ore is accompanied by various elements such as vanadium, titanium, chromium, scandium, cobalt, nickel, and gallium.

Relying on the rich local iron ore, Kapok City built the largest steel plant in Sichuan Province.

The group arrived at the Kapok Railway Station by train, and was warmly welcomed by the Kapok City Government. The subsequent work went smoothly, and Yang Dongsheng let Yang Dongsheng choose from several iron ore and coal mines.

After years of mining, huge pits have been dug out in the mountains around Kapok City.

The infrastructure of these iron mines is very complete, and some mines are next to steel factories.

Kapok City will be so generous. On the one hand, they want Yang Dongsheng’s blast furnace and steel rolling equipment. At present, only Dongsheng Heavy Industry and Dongsheng Electric can manufacture these equipments in China, otherwise they can only be imported; on the other hand, it is because of the existence of Kapok iron mine. Not a small problem.

Although the total amount of kapok iron ore is quite large, there are very few rich ores, and the average grade of iron ore was only about 35% at the beginning of development.

In the first few mines developed, the current average iron ore grade is only 20%, or even more than ten percent.

Even if magnetite can be processed by magnetic separation, the processing cost of this grade of magnetite will be very high, so it is better to trade it.

Yang Dongsheng got several mines at extremely low prices, and got the slag thrown away by Kapok Iron Mine for free over the years.

After taking these mines and slag, the iron ore he got was second, and the most important thing was that Yang Dongsheng could harvest a large amount of rare metals.

The iron reserves of kapok iron ore are not ranked first in the world. The iron ore grade can be thrown away as garbage in many countries, but the vanadium reserves here rank third in the world, accounting for nearly [-]% of the world's vanadium reserves. ; Titanium reserves rank first in the world, accounting for [-]% of the world's titanium reserves.

In addition, there are gallium and scandium.

Even those slags contain more rare metals than mines in many countries.

Kapok City is rich in tropical fruits, and when they came here, it was the season when the fruits were concentrated on the market.

Yang Dongsheng took Yang Miao to taste all kinds of tropical fruits while watching ore dressing.

"What else do you want to eat?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"I want to see baby pandas!" Yang Miao said.

At this moment Yang Huai hurried over, "Brother, it's done!"
