The days when I sold coal in the coal mine

Chapter 443
What will the withdrawal of small coal mines bring?

The direct result is that the contract system will come to an end.

From then on, there was no such thing as a coal mine contract system in Tang Province.

A direct result of this is the "Northern Province Bosses' Great Retreat".

Bosses in Northern Province contract coal mines. We can sum it up in one word, which is called "coal frying group".

Yes, the tentacles of the businessmen in Northern Province are very wide and deep, not just the "real estate speculators" that you often see.

There are also "fried coal group", "fried oil group", "fried electricity group"...

What to make money to speculate on.

"Real estate speculators" are all later things.

Speaking of how powerful the "coal frying group" of the boss of the northern province is, the following set of data can fully explain everything.

It is said that in 2005, the boss of Beixing invested a total of more than 400 billion yuan in Tang Province and contracted more than 400 large and small coal mines.

There are 3 tons, 9 tons, 15 tons, and 30 tons.

There are also single investments ranging from a few million to hundreds of millions.

What is the total production capacity of these small coal mines?
More than 8000 million tons.

60% of the small and medium-sized coal mines in Tangshen were contracted by the northern provincial bosses.

Nearly one-fifth of Tang province's coal is dug out every year.

The total coal output of Tang Province accounted for a quarter of the country at that time.

In other words, the bosses of the northern province poach one-twentieth of the country's coal production every year.

It is said that there is a county in Jinzhou City, and there are 64 coal mines in the county, of which 59 are contracted by the North Provincial Boss, accounting for more than 80%.

And what did the boss of the northern province do after he contracted the coal mine?
The first is to disregard public policy and seek profit.

First, a buyer's monopoly was formed. Although they did not establish an association, there was a chamber of commerce in private.

The price of coal is coordinated by everyone. On the surface, it is said that they are jointly resisting the risks of the coal market. In fact, they are hoarding goods and driving up coal prices.

"Soft resistance" with the government's policy and price management departments.

The second is to be indifferent to safety and ignore life.

In order to save costs, save as much as possible for security investment.

At the same time, the lack of knowledge of migrant workers is used to shirk the payment of industrial injury medical care and labor insurance for various reasons.

In addition, the bosses in Northern Province generally do not hire locals as underground workers, because it is too troublesome if something goes wrong.

Directly hired foreign migrant workers, and if something happened, a sum of money was sealed and pulled down.

What's more, as mentioned before, they don't work as mine managers at all, and the mine managers are all part-time from the village committee.

People only work as deputy mine managers, that is, they manage to spend money to make money.

In this way, if there is a safety accident, people will not be able to get involved, and spend some money to resume production in the coal mine as soon as possible.

They even let them conceal the report at all, and spent money to send the miners' families away.

Then I started to force the mine manager.

To what extent, Lao Hua, the mine manager, is an example.

In this way, the coal mines contracted by the bosses in Northern Province are extremely unsafe, coupled with the serious overproduction driven by profit, so the frequent occurrence of coal accidents in Tang Province has a lot to do with the behavior of the bosses in Northern Province.

Third, plundering and mining, ignoring ecology.

The capacity of the contracted coal mines is small, but the phenomenon of overproduction is very serious.

As I said just now, the China-Malaysia coal mine has been dug by itself, and it is also digging resources from Jinsheng Group.

But ecological compensation is a bit irresponsible.

Didn't you say to pay the coal sustainable development fund?That's for a law-abiding and legitimate company like Jinsheng Group.

What people sell directly is cash, and they don't give you an account at all.

When your car came, you handed over a pile of cash, and they took it away that night.

You don't even know where the money went, but can you know how much coal the family produced?How much coal was sold?

Due to the lack of ecological compensation mechanism, nearly 12 billion cubic meters of water resources are destroyed every year, and thousands of square kilometers of land have become goafs.

All of these have something to do with the behavior of the boss in the northern province.

Of course, when people come here, they have the dream of "getting rich overnight", and they are doing "one ticket and go away" business. What kind of ecological compensation do you want?
Forget it.

In addition, the phenomenon of waste of resources is also very serious. The phenomenon of "monkeys eat bananas and throw them away after taking a bite" is very common.

You are talking about how the ecological environment and resource utilization can be improved!
To restore the current ecology in Tang Province, it is initially estimated that it will cost more than 2000Y.

Fourth, disrupt ZZ ecology and ignore authority.

For example, if a village runs a 9-ton small coal mine, you have to spend a million or so to "take down" the director of the village committee, and then let the director of the village committee do other work for you.

A boss from Northern Province once said that spending 500 million yuan a year on public relations is not much at all, but he gets more.

In this way, many village-level cadres have become "collaborators" of the northern provincial bosses.

It has also become one of the factors that make this "contracting system" sustainable and hot.

I won't say much about the others, the four "disregards" are enough to explain the problem.

As for social responsibility and the like, let's stop talking about it.

Compared with the above four items, social responsibility seems even more insignificant in their eyes.

In the process of resource integration this time, all small coal mines with an annual output of less than 30 tons will be closed and withdrawn, which means that the owner of the northern province will completely withdraw from the circle of the coal market in Tang Province.

There is no way, this system has gone into decline. It is undeniable that it played a role in driving the market in the early stage, but fundamentally speaking, this is not the sustainable development path of coal enterprises.

Because until now, this method has violated the principle of transfer of public power.

Locke once mentioned in "Government" that before human beings entered political society, there was a state of nature in which people lived an ideal and free life.

However, due to the lack of authoritative public referees, when disputes occur or members are injured, there are various inconveniences that cannot be appealed and disputes resolved.

Therefore, people transfer some of their basic powers through definite public contracts, and jointly form the public powers of the government.

What does this statement imply?

It means that the government's policies and decisions can only be taken from the people and used by the people.

It must be based on the public goals of the whole society and take the fairness and justice shared by the society as the standard.

Public policy should not become a tool and means for individual minorities or minority groups to seek interests.

This is called "de-publicization of public policy value".

Therefore, at present, the coal mine contracting system has violated the principle of the transfer of public power and violated the "public policy value". It has completed its mission and should completely withdraw from the stage of history.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiaobei saw this "method", he was also very happy.

Although Jinsheng Group did not get more resources in the process of resource integration.

But firstly, it protects its own resources, and secondly, it obtains a more fair and just competitive environment.

From these two aspects, what Jinsheng has obtained is already rich enough.
