official journey ups and downs

Compared with the villagers, He Yunchang has already accumulated enough capital, and it happened that some foreigners came to invest, so he saw the right time and prepared to do a big job. Foreigners cannot open mines without the support of local people, not to mention that He Yunchang also has some funds in his hands. He Yunchang naturally became the deputy mine manager of Guozigou Coal Mine.

By the early 90s, the money in He Yunchang's pocket had reached more than one million, which was enough to compare with the annual financial income of Dongquan County, but he was not satisfied. Investors squeezed out and became the real head of Guozigou Coal Mine.

The times are progressing, coupled with the country's emphasis on safe production, and the comprehensive technical transformation and upgrading of existing mines, He Yunchang counted this account with his fingers, and it was not enough to invest almost all the funds he accumulated. The company gave great support, so He Yunchang, who had a bright head, took out loans.

The loan is not important, but the subsequent development trend has made the county government and the bank suffer. He Yunchang, who has tasted the sweetness, is not in a hurry to repay the loan. At that time, the county magistrate personally came to the door to collect the money, but He Yunchang was much more indifferent. He said that it is very easy to repay the money, but the company has been in a state of infrastructure construction, and it will be paid when it starts production.

But later, the coal mine had started production and made a profit, but He Yunchang still had no sign of repaying the loan. This made everyone in the county anxious. To expand the scale of production, in order to enable him to repay the loan, the county leaders gritted their teeth and gave him another loan.

After going back and forth, both sides seem to have entered a dead end. While borrowing money and lending money continuously, the two sides fought a protracted battle. He Yunchang did not refuse to pay back. Every time he wanted to borrow again, he would pay back a little symbolically. , This cycle of back and forth continues to this day.

Does He Yunchang really have no money? In fact, the funds in his hands have reached tens of millions, but he just doesn't want to pay them back. It can be said that He Yunchang's prosperity is achieved by taking the country's money.

He Yunchang is the well-deserved richest man in Dongquan County. Almost no one can compare with him. The county even enshrines him like a "Bodhisattva". He Yunchang enjoys the tens of millions of loans for fear that something will go wrong with him. This kind of treatment used to be a "cow herding boy" who ran all over the mountain, but now he is a "coal boss" praised by thousands of people. Although it is very difficult to walk from hell to heaven, this wonderful pleasure makes him feel a little bit elated. The dream of getting rich overnight has come true, and this has formed a unique group represented by He Yunchang! !Coal Boss.

This unique group has the following characteristics: Most of them are native-born farmers with a low level of education, and some are still illiterate. Some of them used to be hooligans, who started from scratch by being cruel and merciless. From the beginning, illegal mining gradually became regular, and they became the "alternatives" that stood out in the wave of reform.

With the money, the social status has improved, and the material has been greatly satisfied. The coal bosses have faced a new problem, how to spend the money.

Different regions create different characters and characteristics. One of the top ten merchant gangs of the year, the "Shanxi Merchants", took a slanted path on the loess plateau with barren soil. It was active for more than 500 years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and its footprints spread all over the country. It even managed to do business in Russia, Japan and other countries, which can be compared with Venetian merchants and Jewish merchants. The most proud thing is the development of financial exchange business in the late Qing Dynasty. The gold-lettered signboard, so that Emperor Daoguang praised its "connecting the world", which also became the embryonic form of a modern bank.

The decline of Shanxi merchants is nothing more than the decline of the country, the aggression of foreign enemies, and the corruption of the government. An important factor in the decline of business, embarked on the road of profit feudalization.

Western capitalism usually converts funds into industrial capital after accumulating funds, but in the later period of Shanxi Merchants, it was different. There was a great resurgence. All kinds of large courtyards; issuing usury loans, lending money with interest, guarding their old capital; hoarding gold and silver, the currency cannot be effectively circulated; living a luxurious life, some businessmen began to seek pleasure, smoking soil, playing theater, etc., these are the feudalization of profits a direct manifestation of.

The Shanxi merchants have gone away, and the spiritual values ​​left to future generations seem to have disappeared, leaving only one cold "courtyard" after another for people to admire the glory of the past.

Coal bosses obviously do not have a high level of ideological awareness, let alone learn a heavy lesson. They repeat the same mistakes and embark on the old path of their ancestors. The coal bosses who have money spend money like water, especially in the purchase of real estate, which shows an amazing degree of love. There is a An inappropriate analogy, the rise in housing prices in the capital is directly related to the hoarding and speculation of real estate by coal bosses.

Back in Dongjiang Province, the same is true of coal bosses. They may not care about food and clothing, but they are absolutely unambiguous about the houses they live in. They spend a lot of money to build their own houses, which is definitely a beautiful scenery. His luxury car is like buying a toy car, without blinking an eye, which makes people both envious and distressed.

Zhang Xiaoshi said, Don't be fooled by He Yunchang's lack of particularity, and even his ugly appearance. If you throw it among the peasants, you will never be able to tell which one is a farmer and which one is a rich man, but it is definitely a big deal.

It is said that once, He Yunchang went to the capital for a meeting, wandered around a department store in boredom, and walked to a shop that bought electrical appliances. He was very interested in a newly launched large color TV. I looked down on it, so I taunted him that he could go to the street stall to have a look, you can’t afford it here, I didn’t expect the attitude of the waiter to anger He Yunchang, so he immediately called a large group of people, and with one order, the entire electrical store was turned away. It was smashed to pieces.

After smashing, I asked the waiter how much all the electrical appliances in the store were worth. The waiter called the boss tremblingly. He took out a sack of money from the trunk, threw 40 yuan to the boss, patted his ass and left, and let everyone present see the richness of the boss of Dongjiang Coal.
