Fortunately, everything went smoothly. When Li Mingxuan came out of the examination hall on the last day, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Almost at the same time.
The news of Jinxiu Coal Mine recruiting miners spread like wildfire.
In fact, as a resource-based city, Jianghuai City did not lack miners.
The treatment given by Jinxiu Coal Mine was almost comparable to that of some official employees of the Mining Bureau.
Therefore, the recruitment notice had only been sent out for two to three days, and a total of 120 miners had been recruited.
Then, Mr. Li rented 15 Longgong 50 shovels and two belt carriers from the big mine.
In addition, it was enough to buy a hundred percussion drills.
As for the rest, he only spent a total of three million.
Of course, in the future, Jinxiu Coal Mine would definitely buy its own shovel, and a Longgong 50 was worth about 400,000 yuan.
This alone was a huge sum of money. In addition, the belt cranes and the roadheader that might be launched in the future were all expensive.
However, renting it from a large mine was the most cost-effective option.
Because it was open-pit mining, the workers only needed to use the shovel to dig up the soil layer first, and then use the impact drill to hit the upper layer of coal.
Of course, this was also very complicated.
For example, stripping, mining, piercing, and even blasting and splitting.
Finally, they were loaded and transported. The most advanced drilling equipment on the market now were roller drills and down-the-hole drills.
The use of impact drills was an outdated production technology.
However, Jinxiu was a new mine after all, so it was still cheaper for the time being.
When he was at Jinxiu Mine, Li Jianguo was wearing a high-end suit that day. He had even invited some leaders he knew in the city to tailor it.
As the firecrackers rumbled.
The first shovel of coal was dug out of the coal.
At this time, no one could imagine how much influence the mines of the Jinxiu Department would have in the world in the future.
However, with the increasing amount of coal, it was also a problem to sell it.
The simplest way was to use it as thermal coal and directly transport it to a nearby power plant. However, using such high-quality Jinxiu coal as thermal coal...
Unless Li Jianguo was a fool.
Therefore, Li Jianguo brought Li Mingxuan, who had just finished the college entrance examination, to the largest steel plant in Huizhou Province, Anjiang Steel Plant, with the coal test report and samples.
The Anjiang Steel Plant was founded in 1916. After the establishment of the flower family, it was the first large-scale steel complex in New Xia to be restored and the earliest steel production base. It was known as the " Cradle of the Steel Industry."
In ships, national defense, cars, railroads, household appliances…Anjiang steel products were widely used in many fields and had become the steel backbone of the country's heavy equipment.
However, although Jianghuai and Anjiang City were both in Huizhou Province, the Anjiang Steel Plant rarely purchased coal from Jianghuai City.
This was because the quality of the coal in Jianghuai City was very poor. The sulfur and phosphorus content was too high, and the combustion value was not enough.
One had to know that in the smelting industry, sulfur and phosphorus were harmful elements in addition to polluting the environment.
When coal and its finished products such as coke are used in the smelting industry, the sulfur and phosphorus will enter the smelted metal products, causing the performance of the product to decline and the quality to decline.
Therefore, the Anjiang Steel Plant could only go to Jin to buy Jin coal.
The two of them took the train for three hours and arrived at Anjiang City, 200 kilometers away from Jianghuai City.
Soon, they arrived at the An Jiang Steel Plant by taxi.
"This is the An Jiang Steel Plant!"
Li Mingxuan looked at the huge gate of the steel factory with a historical atmosphere and could not help but sigh.
In the distance, there were steel buildings. Even from the outside, one could see piles of coal piled up in the factory.
The huge cooling tower was emitting white smoke.
The huge factory was like a city.
"That's right!" Li Du's father also sighed. Compared to this, the Jianghuai Steel Plant he worked at was simply a small dot.
Thus, the two of them brought the samples to the entrance of the Anjiang Steel Plant.
"What are you two doing?" Soon, the two of them were stopped by the old guard.
This was a large-scale state-owned enterprise, and the guards were very responsible. No suspicious person could be allowed into the factory.
Upon hearing this, Comrade Li immediately took out a Yuxi cigarette and handed it to the old guard. Then, he said,
"It's like this, Master. We're from Jianghuai City. You should know that we produce coal in Jianghuai City, so we're prepared to send our coal to the Anjiang Steel Plant.”
The old guard took the cigarette but shook his head.
"So it's from Jianghuai City. However, the quality of your coal is not good. A few decades ago, our Anjiang Iron and Steel Company also planned to purchase your coal nearby, but the quality of the coal is not good.”
"Master, what is your name?" Li Mingxuan interrupted and asked.
"My surname is Qin. However, it's useless for you to get close to me. After all, you have to be tough to forge iron.”The guard, Mr. Qin, said.
Hearing this, Li Mingxuan took out a piece of Jinxiu sample coal.
This was an ordinary piece of coal that had not been washed.
However, even so, the metallic luster of the coal under the sun immediately attracted the old guard's attention.
As a person from An Jiang who dealt with coal all day long, even a ten-year-old child could tell the difference between a piece of good coal and a piece of bad coal.
Master Qin held the coal in his hand and sized it up.
"This piece of coal is not bad, but don't tell me it's Jianghuai's coal.”
At this moment, Li Jianguo and Li Mingxuan looked at each other. Li Jianguo immediately took out the monitoring report with the official seal of the Mining Bureau.
"Master Qin, why don't you take a look at this report?”
The old master looked at it with doubt, including the fuel value, ash content, moisture content, sulfur content, and phosphorus content.
When he saw it, he was immediately shocked.
Then, he said to the Li father and son,
"You guys stand there and wait. I'll immediately inform the people from the purchasing department to come over!”
