Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Another two months passed. With the support of Chu Jianghe and local large power plants and steel plants, Zhang Li relied on low-price dumping to defeat the small coal mines in the county.

Relying on sufficient cash flow, Zhang Li purchased seven or eight small coal mines in the surrounding areas. Zhang Li even took this opportunity to extend his hands to nearby counties and cities. He even heard what Chu Jianghe said that he was no longer satisfied with the local area. He also took over a few coal mines in other provinces.

The local bosses in the county saw that most of the coal mines had fallen into Zhang Li's hands. In their eyes, Li Zhang seemed to be invincible.

With abundant funds and a continuous supply of coal, what should they do?

It seems impossible to wait until Zhang Li kills himself.

These local bosses know that they are unable to resist and can only enjoy passively. When they can no longer hold on, they can only follow the example of others and give up the coal mines in their hands to Zhang Li.

However, Zhang Li did not lose money to them. As long as they cooperated smoothly, Zhang Li still took care of them in terms of the purchase price and did not let them lose money. This relieved a lot of the resentment in the hearts of the local bosses.

He also heard from Chu Jianghe that it didn't matter if he lost money temporarily during the acquisition process. The main thing was not to cause a backlash from the local bosses, lest these people jump over the wall when they see something happening, which would be harmful to their plans.

Fortunately, things went relatively smoothly. After taking control of seventy-eight out of ten small coal mines in the county, Zhang Li began to integrate them.

With the support of Hong Kong Island's Qiangsheng Group, a professional exploration team was invited from the capital to conduct professional exploration of the county's mining resources and let experts formulate a professional mining plan.

In the past, as long as the local bosses saw where there was coal, they would go crazy and illegally mine it. This way, a lot of coal was produced, but the process also produced a lot of waste.

Originally, with reasonable mining, coal could be mined for thirty years, but after their blind mining, it could only be mined for ten years or so.

In view of this, Chu Jianghe also helped Zhang Li order many professional mining equipment from home and abroad through the channels of Qiangsheng Group.

While waiting for the equipment, Zhang Zhang was not idle and had been busy integrating the coal mines in his hands.

In the past, when these coal mines were in the hands of local bosses in the county, there was no management system at all, and the production conditions were rudimentary and a mess, let alone financial management.

After all, Zhang Li had also stayed in Hong Kong Island for several years and had already learned some basic management knowledge.

Even so, integrating the coal mines in his hands wasted a lot of his energy and brain cells.

Zhang Li had just sorted out the coal mine in his hands and established a preliminary management system. He saw that production was slowly starting to become orderly, but the coal mine had new problems. Fights broke out in the coal mine every now and then. .

"Brother, this won't work. People are looking for trouble in the coal mine every day. If this continues, let alone work, normal production will be affected."

The speaker was a relative of Zhang Li's named Zhang Qinmin, who was brought in by Zhang Li to take care of some matters in the coal mine.

Zhang Li was sitting on a chair, playing with a lighter in his hand. He was not anxious at all, as if he had already anticipated what would happen in the coal mine.

"Looking for trouble? What reasons did the other party use?"

"There are various reasons. For example, some coal mines occupy land in the village. Those people have already paid compensation for the land occupation. Seeing how big our business is, we find reasons to say that they are all high-yield fields. In the past, That little money was not enough, so we had to make up for it. Without compensation, they would not allow us to dig coal. Of course, our people stopped working and started fighting with them."

"Also, some coal mines are close to the village. When this machine starts, the sound is really loud, and some people in the village say that if we dig coal from morning to night and make a noise, we will come and cut the wires. If some people want to smash the machine, then there will be another fight."

……

Zhang Qinmin gave several examples in succession, and finally looked at Zhang Li worriedly, wanting him to give him an idea.

Zhang Li's expression did not change. The process of mining was definitely not smooth sailing. Chu Jianghe had already reminded him of this.

There are bound to be contradictions in everything. The more prominent the interests, the more acute the contradictions. This is in line with the laws of society.

The interests involved in mineral resources are too great, so there must be many conflicts, and Zhang Li is already prepared.

The reason Zhang Qinmin mentioned for the villagers to make trouble was quite normal. If the villagers thought it was unreasonable, he would be fine with making trouble. It was just about money.

They were all fellow villagers, so as long as they could put things to rest, he could accept a step back.

But Zhang Li is afraid that all this is not as simple as it seems, but that there is someone instigating it behind the scenes.

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

"Others...there's nothing else, but these are enough for us to deal with."

Zhang Li pondered for a while and asked: "Which villages are currently causing trouble?"

Zhang Qinmin quickly named several villages and said, "Brother, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Li silently remembered the names of these villages in his heart and said comfortingly: "Okay, I already know. I will go out to talk to the people in these villages first. You can just mind your own business." If there are people who come to cause trouble...you should try your best to avoid direct conflict with them."

"Brother, what if they go too far? We can't just stand and get beaten." Zhang Qinmin saw Zhang Li looking at him with interest, as if asking him what he thought. He tentatively said: "Brother, how about this? , we also set up a mine protection team. If anyone comes to make trouble, we will beat them out. If we beat them hard, they will not dare to come."

These days are chaotic, especially in the mining field. Due to profit issues, it is normal for two mines to go to war.

When there are interests, there are conflicts. When there are conflicts, the mines naturally have warriors who are dedicated to dealing with wars. They are commonly known as mine protection teams. To put it bluntly, they organize some miners with relatively high combat effectiveness to deal with some big scenes.

Zhang Li looked at Zhang Qinmin with some surprise. He didn't expect that this honest and humble relative would actually give him such an idea. It seems that the environment can easily change a person.

"Qinmin, you can have a mine protection team, but it's not specifically for fighting. It's just a regular patrol."

Zhang Qinmin didn't understand: "Brother, other mines have mine protection teams, which are responsible for solving these problems."

Zhang Li continued: "They are them, and we are us. We are doing business, not bandits, which is different from them."

"But what if someone else refuses to forgive me? This..."

Zhang Qinmin wanted to say more, but Zhang Li stopped him.

"Okay, that's it. Do as I say. As for when it comes to that step, I have my own way."

Zhang Li listened to Chu Jianghe's words. Although the world was a bit chaotic now, he couldn't be chaotic.

It’s okay to make money, but you have to pay attention to the methods. You need to be hardworking yourself, and you can’t hand your control into the hands of others.
