Excellent little farmer

The family members are very affectionate when they meet, especially Xu Wei. He went to Inner Mongolia for a year, and his image and temperament have changed drastically. Maybe it’s because of the harsh sun there, or maybe it’s because the working conditions there are too difficult. , I feel that Xu Wei seems to be a different person, his skin is much darker, and he also has a murderous aura in his bones, which makes me try to figure out a little bit of the flavor.

A group of outsiders want to go to the outside world to dig for gold. Even if you can handle the local officials well, bravery prevails in the area outside the Great Wall, especially when there will be many people on the road who want to take a bite of food. If you want to fight with real swords and guns, it is inevitable that the white knife will enter and the red knife will come out. It depends on each of you to grasp the appropriateness.

When Wu Zhibing was in school, his nickname was Bangzi. He was very brave and brave in fights, which seemed to be one of the main reasons why Han Jianwei liked him.

Xu Wei took the initiative to go out with me for a walk, so I figured something was wrong. I had to avoid Wang Changquan and Wu Zhibing. It seemed that the matter was not a big deal.

"Is Jianwei back?" I asked softly with my hands behind my back, strolling along a remote sidewalk in the factory area.

"Jian Weiwei came back the day before yesterday. It seems that he hasn't stopped since he came back. He has been busy all the time. Maybe he will come over this afternoon." A year of wind and frost outside the Great Wall has made Xu Wei mature a lot, and he speaks calmly. There is a certain degree of magnanimity, quite a bit like a man from Yanzhao.

"Where's Zhibing?"

"Brother Zhibing can't come back. It is estimated that he will have to wait until the seventh or eighth day of the lunar month, after Jian Weiwei and I go back, before he can find time to come back. I will also go to Brother Zhibing's house soon and let me take Brother Zhibing with him. Give some of the things you come back to his home.”

Xu Wei's eyes flickered a little, as if he was hesitating for something. After a long while, he said: "In addition, I also plan to bring Brother Zhibing's younger brother over. There will be more people to take care of him."

Han Jianwei's family no longer lives in the factory. Even his sister and brother-in-law have followed to Inner Mongolia. His father and mother live in Yuzhou City, while Wu Zhibing's parents still live in the agricultural machinery factory.

"Well! It seems that Jianwei is doing well there, right?" I pondered for a moment, then looked over and said, "Dawei, do you have something to say to me?"

"Well! Brother, Jian Weijia treats me very well, and I admire Jian Weilai very much. It's just that Jian Viagra hasn't been very smooth there this year. It was okay in the first half of the year, but it went from bad to worse in the second half of the year. But Jian Viagra has lost its scale. As we grow bigger and bigger, coal sales have declined somewhat this year. Although we have also thought of many solutions, the situation is still unsatisfactory and the competition is quite fierce, even brutal. Many of our mines have changed hands. If you don't pay attention, you will lose money if you don't lose money, the price will be lowered, and the more you do, the more you will lose. You can't do it if you don't do it."

Xu Wei's eyes wandered, as if he was recalling the difficulties of this year, and said: "If something big happens, the mine boss will just run away. There is no other way. He is already losing money, and he can't sell at a high price. If he sells it again, Let me ask you something. You can’t help but pay for pensions, disability payments, etc. The various functional departments of the government are even more open-mouthed. Everyone has to take care of it. It’s simply a bottomless pit. Brother Koizumi, what do you think we should do? ?”

I nodded silently. Although Han Jianwei and his old classmates did not tell me about the specific problems they encountered, I had already expected this situation. The coal price mechanism has not been completely straightened out, and the market economy and planned economy have dual tracks. At the same time, especially the price of thermal coal, which accounts for a considerable proportion, is like a smoke and mirrors. It is difficult to find out the details. In addition, coupled with the limitations of railway transportation capacity, if you do not pay attention to the coal mine, you will lose your pants. It is not courageous to survive. Extraordinary ones are those who are extremely lucky, or have a strong relationship.

This year should not be a big deal. Judging from the current situation, next year and the year after that will be the most difficult two years. It will not be until the second half of the year after that. It is estimated that coal prices will start to improve, but how many people can survive it? Can you survive these two years?

"Well! I guess the past two years have been difficult. What are Jianwei going to do?"

I had discussed some countermeasures with Han Jianwei before, but this year has passed, and Han Jianwei has not had much contact with him this year, and I have not paid much attention to the business conditions there. Since I have given full authority to Han Jianwei, I will simply Put it down to the end, don't care about anything, life or death is up to him.

"Jian Weiwei has taken down the entire mine, and also taken down a larger mine next to it and the coal washing plant." Xu Wei said with some difficulty.

"what?"

I was a little surprised. Han Jianwei was so bold that he knew that all the shares of his own mine were expected. He just took over another larger mine. Even if the coal market is sluggish in the second half of this year, the scale of Put it there, if you don’t have 10 or 20 million, don’t even think about it. Where did Han Jianwei get so much money? After a moment's thought, I came to my senses and asked, "Will the bank support it?"

"The bank handled the problem through Viagra. I don't know how it works, but the bank did give us a lot of support."

Xu Wei was a little uneasy. Everyone knew what it was like to get a loan from a bank, especially in a sluggish industry. It was extremely difficult for you to get a loan. The secrets of joints are unknown to outsiders. Even Xu Wei only vaguely knows something about them. This is what worries him the most. Seeing that the coal market is so sluggish this year, Han Jianwei is crazy about mergers and expansions like a man possessed. , Xu Wei felt even more unsure.

It's your ability to get out the bank loan, but it doesn't mean you can't repay it. Even if you use fixed assets as collateral, there is a bottom line. Once the capital chain collapses, it means that you have worked so hard there. Even if the foundation we worked hard for has been wasted.

This situation is not uncommon. In this month alone, several major local banks have applied to the court to compulsorily seize and take over many mines that cannot repay their loans.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Han Jianwei was gambling. Especially after he and he predicted the coal price trend in the year after tomorrow, Han Jianwei came up with the idea of ​​​​playing crazy. It seems that this idea not only has no reduction, and he is still implementing it step by step. This guy's gambling nature is really not that general.

"Hmm! It seems that Jianwei really wants to make the company bigger and stronger! Why do you really plan to advance into the top 500 in the world or the top 500 in China?"

While plucking off a dry leaf, I said half-jokingly, "Going against the trend, hehe! He is really courageous, Dawei, what do you think?"

"Brother, the risk is indeed very high, but you also have to admit that the price of a high-quality mine is astonishingly low now, especially those mines that have been seized by banks, those that cannot afford private loans, and those that are pooled together by a few companies. If you come together to make a molecular mine, if you can't continue to operate it, you will have to sell it at a low price. The price will make you... you just feel like you are picking it up on the ground for nothing."

Xu Wei took a deep breath, hesitating with a face full of torment, and said: "But what will you do after you win? Production? Either you can't sell it, or you can't get the money after selling it, or you just have to produce more and more. Loss. The greater the output, the more losses you will have. What should you do? If you don’t produce, you will still have to pay interest on bank funds. It is impossible for you to buy a mine and not produce it for a year or two. Then why are you buying it? What if it happens for two or three years? Will it still be like this in the end?”

"Jianwei asked you to come to the front station just to discuss this with me?"

I asked a little funny: "Has he made his decision a long time ago, so he still needs to ask for my opinion?"

"Brother Koizumi, what you said is not entirely correct. I am still a little hesitant to build Viagra. After all, it is not easy for us to work hard now. If we miss everything, we will be doomed. All the hard work of the past years will be wasted, and you are in it, brother." There are so many investments, and due to emotions and reasons, we must obtain your consent to build Viagra." Xu Wei said quite frankly.

"What do you think?" I wanted to see Xu Wei's eyes.

"Brother Koizumi, there is a saying that Jian Viagra often says. He said it was you who told him, that is, the worst he can do is to start all over again. He is less than thirty now, and he still has a chance to start over. He is afraid of failure. People who don’t dare to try will never succeed in their lives, so he wants to give it a try.”

"What is he going to do?" I stopped and asked calmly.

“His idea is to seize this opportunity, do everything possible to merge and integrate local coal mines, expand the scale to the maximum extent, and strive to become the leader among private enterprises in the local coal industry.”
