?Secretary Xiao Li brought in tea. The tea was the finest Wuyi Dahongpao. Peng Qihai casually entertained Liu Boyang, Song Jiayao and Feng Hu Duan Yi to drink it.

Next, the conversation got to the point. Peng Qihai took out a pile of information on his desk and showed it to Liu Boyang and Song Jiayao. Most of the coal mines that Mr. Song left to Song Jiayao were in dt city, because this is one of the places with the largest coal production in the country.

First, there are a small number of them in other cities in province

More than 100 million is just a conservative figure.

Song Jiayao held the documents and information in her hands, feeling very heavy. She looked at Liu Boyang with some confusion. Liu Boyang patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "This is what your grandfather left for you, Jiayao, although I can

I feel the weight of the burdens on your shoulders, but I believe you will be able to take them over!"

Song Jiayao bit her lips and nodded. Liu Boyang was her backbone. As long as he was by her side, Song Jiayao felt that all her difficulties would be solved.

Peng Qihai said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Boyang, I have returned all the coal mines left by Mr. Song to you. Our two families account for 80% of the coal market in X Province. But.

There are unforeseen circumstances, and now the country's policies are different. I have also been worried about this recently. The country plans to gradually ban private coal mines and state the entire coal industry. If one thing goes wrong, we will all have to draw water from a bamboo basket.

A vain danger!”

Liu Boyang and Song Jiayao were both stunned. Liu Boyang frowned and asked: "How could this happen? Is my luck really so unfavorable? Nothing goes smoothly at all? The country won't ban it sooner or later, but I took over the coal mine.

It’s time to ban it, are you deliberately playing with me?”

Peng Qihai stood up and looked out the window while drinking tea: "That's not the case. The country has long planned to ban private coal mines, but it has never taken action. Now the international coal market is getting smoother, and high-quality coal mines can be traded

Prices are sky-high, and the profit potential is greater than before. The country will never give up this piece of fat, and the process of banning it will only speed up!"

Song Jiayao asked: "What should I do? This is what my grandfather left me. If everything is confiscated, how should I explain to my grandfather? Won't tens of billions of dollars be wasted?"

Peng Qihai smiled bitterly and said: "It's not just you who are anxious now. All the coal mine bosses in the whole province and neighboring provinces are anxious about this matter. But there is no way. If the country really decides to do something, private individuals cannot resist it."

.The only way now is to find a way to get rid of all these coal mines and sell them before the ban is actually implemented, so that if the ban is really implemented, there will be no losses."

"To whom?" Liu Boyang asked.

"The state." Peng Qihai sighed: "This is the unspoken rule of dealing with the state. They like your active and cooperative attitude. If you take the initiative to sell the coal mines before the ban, they may give you a reasonable purchase price, but if

If you don’t cooperate and forcefully disobey and ban you, then the country will have many ways to punish you and make you bankrupt in an instant and cause heavy losses!”

Liu Boyang and Song Jiayao were both speechless. How could they want to have a big fight and then do something like this unexpectedly?

Peng Qihai saw the angry looks of the two of them and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think too much about it, I just saw that you two will get involved in this field from now on, so I first put the future

Let me tell you some trends, lest you say I am unkind and deceive you in the future. Haha, although the state's ban on private coal mines is a certainty, the time has not been determined after all. You don't have to be impatient now. There will be a car when you get to the mountain.

Road, I believe that the country will not do too much. Since you have come to province

Okay, I’ll have something easy to deal with in the future.”

Liu Boyang and Song Jiayao both nodded and said nothing, but their moods were obviously not as relaxed as when they first arrived.

"Are you okay this afternoon? If you have time, I will take you around the real coal mining area so that you can know where the huge sum of money in your hands comes from!" Peng Qihai said with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Boyang agreed immediately.

——

In the afternoon, Peng Qihai took Liu Boyang and Song Jiayao to the mountains with rich coal reserves in DT City to watch the whole process of coal mining. The environment there was much worse than Liu Boyang imagined. There were potholes all the way.

The car walked a long way before finding a large coal mine. There were many locally hired cheap workers hard at work. Steel mining equipment seven or eight meters high could be seen everywhere in the barren mountains and ridges. Roaring heavy-duty trucks carried trucks from time to time.

The truck full of raw coal left the mining base, leaving two long tire tracks on the road.

Under the leadership of Peng Qihai, Liu Boyang and Song Jiayao put on safety helmets and the same work clothes as ordinary migrant workers, and went deep into the coal mining base for a few laps. What impressed Liu Boyang most was not the soaring mining equipment, but the soaring mining equipment.

It's the bottomless coal well.

Working in coal mines is the most difficult, tiring and risky job in the coal base. Usually the elderly or children with the least status go down to the mines. Of course, the leader must be some skilled workers. When Song Jiayao looked at those young people

When the scrawny little boys, who were twelve or thirteen years old, took shovels and went down the well, they were immediately shocked. This scene was completely different from what they saw in books. Boys of such age should still be in school. How could coal mines employ child labor casually?

Woolen cloth?

"Boyang, I think they are so pitiful. That little boy is carrying such a big basket. Isn't he tired? Who is forcing them to work?" Song Jiayao said with red eyes.

Liu Boyang helplessly hugged his wife into his arms. How to explain this kind of thing? It's not people forcing them, but life forcing these poor little boys to do hard labor...

Peng Qihai sighed: "Boyang, now you know why Uncle Peng㊣(5) and I, except for special occasions and important human relationships, generally don't dress up and pay attention to enjoyment? It's because I see this every day.

The scene, it’s nothing for these little boys to do hard work. You have never seen the 80-year-old old man working in the well because of his livelihood. They will teach you how to spend every penny."

Liu Boyang nodded emotionally. He finally realized the critical importance of Mr. Song's more than 40 billion. Sure enough, even if he has money, he cannot waste it arbitrarily, otherwise he will be sorry for these hard workers who work in the dark.

them.

"Have you seen those coal wells? Every year in just one province, there are quite a few hard workers who die due to coal well collapses, explosions or gas leaks. The country just doesn't dare to report them. Wells more than 20 meters deep have nothing underneath.

There is no electricity for the lights, and you are risking your life every time you go down! Boyang, now you are also the big bosses in the coal industry. You have money in your hands, but you must not over-squeeze these poor laborers. The huge wealth in our hands,

They have accumulated it with their blood and sweat!" Peng Qihai spoke to Liu Boyang in a solemn tone for the first time.

Liu Boyang nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, Uncle Peng, don't worry, we are not the kind of people who are unkind for the sake of wealth. Jia Yao and I will learn from you. Thank you for making a special trip to teach us this lesson."
