Chapter 97 What if it's true

According to Feng Xiaochen's original intention, he wanted Ning Mo to find a bicycle for him and then ride his bike to the mining site. Who would have thought that after listening to Ning Mo's instructions, the handsome young man named Zhao Yang jogged all the way, and soon he drove a jeep without a roof. The car looked a little old, and the patent leather outside was mottled, and the sound of the engine sounded like he was suffering from asthma and was weak. But no matter what, it was indeed a car, and it was a car that could drive.

"His father is a repairman in the car team." Ning Mo pointed to Zhao Yang and explained to Feng Xiaochen. There were many vehicles in the cold water mine. In addition to the trucks for transporting ore, there were dozens of jeeps, all of which were transferred by superior authorities under the banner of field surveys. Some early cars were nominally scrapped, but they could still drive. In any case, no one would seize unqualified vehicles in such places as high and far away.

The one Zhao Yang drove over was an old-fashioned jeep that had been thrown in the repair workshop. It is said that its history can be traced back to the time when the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Most of the jeeps in China were counterfeit goods made of American Jeep. The word "jeep" is not a brand concept in daily discourse environment, but it is just a synonym for off-road vehicles. But the one Zhao Yang drove now is an authentic American product, which is a US military equipment seized on the battlefield. Feng Xiaochen thought that if the car was sealed and taken out for auction after 40 years, I believe that those equipment fans in later generations would be sold for millions.

"Fatty, where are you going?"

Seeing Ning Mo pull Feng Xiaochen into the jeep, several other young people asked together.

Ning Mo smiled and said, "I took Brother Feng around. He said he had never seen the open-pit mine, so I took him to open his eyes."

"Go and go." Everyone didn't take this as a matter, and waved their hands and let them go.

Ning Mo was wrong. In fact, Feng Xiaochen is very familiar with open-pit mines. Feng Xiaochen had visited the cold-water iron ore that they were about to go to in his previous life. However, when Feng Xiaochen came that time, the cold-water iron ore was close to the mining. Yichuan City, which was once quite prosperous, was also labeled as a "resource-depleted city" and included in the catalog of cities that needed state support and transformation.

Feng Xiaochen asked Ning Mo to take him to see the mining site, just to see if there is any difference between the cold water mines in this time and space and the cold water mines he knows. From time to time traveling over to the present, Feng Xiaochen found that things in the two time and space are basically the same, and many of the experiences in the previous time and space can be used as reference.

The jeep drove on the bumpy road for nearly an hour and arrived at the periphery of the mining farm located deep in the mountains. From the car, there was a huge mine in front of it. A road stretched downward around the edge of the mine, leading to the working surface. There, electric shovels were shoveling up the ore that had previously blasted and loading it into a huge transport truck. The transport trucks climbed up the road and transported the ore to a further railway yard.

On the north and south sides of the mine, there are two piles of waste rocks that are as high as mountains. They are all rocks that were originally covered by the mine veins. The miners took countless efforts to peel them off and move them aside to reveal the treasure buried below. On the side of the mine further from Yichuan City, new rock peeling work is still underway, indicating that the scale of the mine will be further expanded.

"Fatty, would you please come here to work?"

Feng Xiaochen asked Zhao Yang to park his car on the hillside, jumped out of the car, and asked Ning Mo at the busy vehicles in the mine below. As they walked over, they became more and more familiar with each other, and the name became more and more intimate. Feng Xiaochen, according to the names of the children in the mine, called Ning Mo a fat man, and Ning Mo called Feng Xiaochen "Old Feng". As for Zhao Yang, because of his handsome appearance, Ning Mo called him "Yangyang", but Zhao Yang was extremely annoyed by this rather feminine nickname.

"What did you say? Come here to work, what kind of work?" Ning Mo didn't react to Feng Xiaochen's question at once and asked subconsciously.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I'm just an example. I want to ask if you think this place is too far and too far away."

"What's the matter!" Ning Mo said disapprovingly, "Don't the workers in the mine work here? Where can I go if I don't work here? I don't have the ability to sit in the office like my dad."

"Zhao Yang, where are you?" Feng Xiaochen asked Zhao Yang again.

Zhao Yang stretched and said in a long voice: "Just give me a job and work anywhere. Now I'm embarrassed to eat free food at home all day long. When I'm a bachelor, it's fine to eat my parents' belongings. Could it be that if I have a wife and children, I have to keep my parents with them?"

"Yes, they are all big-name people, and it's really not OK to have a job." Feng Xiaochen sighed.

Ning Mo looked at Feng Xiaochen and asked, "Why, Lao Feng, do you have a way to get us to work in the mine? Our mine only recruits forty or fifty people a year. My dad can't let me in. What can you do?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "It's hard to say now. This matter depends on your Mine Manager Pan's idea. Our leader came to Mine Manager Pan to discuss the experiment of the dump truck industry. If the negotiation can be made, let our leader think of a solution for you and others to solve the work problems. If the negotiation is incorrect, then we will have to go to Huxi Province and Luoshui Province in a few days. We can't control the matter here in the cold water mine."

"Are you saying true?" Ning Mo stared into Feng Xiaochen's eyes and asked with a serious expression he had never seen before.

Feng Xiaochen shrugged and said, "We are buddies, you can't believe me?"

"Yangyang, what do you think?" Ning Mo asked Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang glared at Ning Mo and waved his fists to show his dissatisfaction, but considering Ning Mo's light tank-like body shape, Zhao Yang gave up the idea of ​​duel with him. He looked at Feng Xiaochen and said, "It's really hard to say. Old Feng said he came from the capital. Maybe there's something wrong with it. Fatty, go and talk to your father about this and ask him to persuade Lao Pan. I also know about the dump truck. In fact, Lao Pan is afraid of trouble. If he really gets a dump truck, it's much better than our current transport truck."

This is a professional opinion. Zhao Yang's father is an automobile mechanic and he is clear about this.

"Old Feng, you have to tell me what can you do to solve the problem for us. I am afraid it won't work if you can increase the recruitment indicators at the mine. Have you seen that it's just such a big mine, and it's impossible to put more people in it. You can't open another mine to arrange for us, right?" Ning Mo said.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Some things cannot be said yet, but they will not work if they say them. You can ask your buddies if they are willing to find a job. If you want, then let their parents whisper more to the mine leader, and you can use this as an exchange condition. Anyway, if we can't do it, Mine Manager Pan will not suffer any losses, right?"

"That's true." Ning Mo nodded, then reacted, pointed at Feng Xiaochen's nose and asked, "Do you have any good ideas? I'm afraid that Lao Pan will leave you alone when he knows it, right?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "That's how it is. If it weren't for Lao Pan to cooperate with us, why would I go to Yichuan to do?"

"You are so sinister, I still treat you as a buddy!" Ning Mo complained unanimously.

Feng Xiaochen took out another box of Daqianmen cigarettes in his pocket that had not been opened, stuffed them into Ning Mo's hand, and said with a smile: "I have always regarded you as a buddy, and this pack of cigarettes is regarded as a gift for the meeting. Let's put it this way, if the cooperation with Lao Pan is not successful, I can't help you more than 1,000 unemployed young people. I can pack your affairs with you two, and I can find you a formal job anyway."

"A word is certain?" Ning Mo asked.

"A word is determined." Feng Xiaochen said frankly.

Ning Mo stomped his feet and said, "Okay, this matter is for me, let everyone put pressure on Lao Pan. If he dares not listen, we will let him know what the instability factor is."

In the next few days, Chang Min still took Lu Zhidong to the mining field, and Wang Weilong was still soaking in the technical office to discuss the issue with the technicians of the cold water mine. Feng Xiaochen, accompanied by Ning Mo, visited many places and learned about the inside story of the cold water mine.

Pan Caishan's eyes were always on Chang Min and Wang Weilong, observing their actions, waiting for Chang Min to show off with him. He considered himself an old fox and had enough patience to compete with Chang Min, the hunter. In bargaining, the party who bids first will always suffer losses, so Pan Caishan would not be fooled.

As for what the two young cadres brought by Chang Min were doing, Pan Caishan was too lazy to care. He didn't even know that Feng Xiaochen was wandering around the family area every day. Some cadres saw it, but they didn't tell Pan Caishan, because this was a very unworthy thing to mention after all.

No one noticed that a half-true and half-false news was slowly spreading in the mining area, that is, the leaders from the capital city have the ability to help the cold water mine solve the problem of unemployed young people. The key is whether the mine leaders are willing to cooperate with the leaders in the capital city. When many employees in the mine hear this news from their children, they are skeptical. After all, there are thousands of unemployed young people in the mine, and the mine leaders have thought of many solutions for this matter, at least they have not solved it. What can several leaders from the capital city have to create jobs?
