"Boss Jin, I'll be frank with you. Today, I'm sitting with you because I hope you can help me find out about a person who works at Hongtai Coal Mine." Xu Yun said, "If Boss Jin is willing to be friends with me."
"Chairman Xu, I will definitely show you 100% sincerity to be friends with you." Jin Kuang sat on the chair, his round belly almost touching the table. "You only need to tell me his name. Of course, it would be even better if you could tell me which department he is in. I promise I'll immediately call the HR department to check. I'll give you an answer within five minutes! "
"His name is Ruan Chao. He's an ordinary worker." Xu Yun pointed at Lin Ge. "He's about the same age as him."
Jin Kuang looked at Lin Ge and touched his chin. "If he's so young, it seems like he hasn't been working at Hongtai for long." Then, Jin Kuang called his assistant and ordered, "Get the HR department to check on a person. Ruan Chao, male, about 20 years old, mine worker. Check now! Give me an answer in five minutes! "
Then, Jin Kuang hung up the phone. From his tone, one could tell that his position in Hongtai was like an emperor. His words were like military orders. He was very powerful and would never allow his subordinates to disobey him.
"Although Ruan Chao is young, he has been working as a coal miner for about three years." Xu Yun smiled. "He's not a newcomer."
"Chairman Xu, you don't know this. Hongtai Coal Mine is a legitimate coal mining group. It's impossible for us to recruit minors under the age of 18 to work in the mines. That's obviously illegal." Jin Kuang smiled. "When it comes to matters of principle, Hongtai Coal Mine is not like those small black mines. They don't even dare to hire a 14- or 15-year-old. They can get rid of him with 2,000 yuan a month."
Lin Ge didn't seem to be interested in these coal bosses' outbursts. "What kind of society are we living in now? If you don't violate some principles and rules, do you think you can get the money to fly into your pockets like it has wings? Boss Jin, you can fool elementary school students with your words, but we don't believe that you are pretending to be a good student. "
While they were chatting, Jin Kuang's phone rang. Before he could explain himself to Lin Ge, he picked up the phone. "You found it? Hmm … Okay, I got it. "
After hanging up the phone, Jin Kuang looked at Xu Yun helplessly. "I'm sorry, Chairman Xu. Perhaps you are mistaken. There is no such person in Hongtai. The human resources department has already checked the human resources system. This computer program will not make a mistake. "
Xu Yun smiled. "If it was so easy to find out, I wouldn't have to trouble Boss Jin, right?"
Jin Kuang frowned. "Why do you say that, President Xu?"
"Boss Jin, there are some things that I don't have to be too clear about. Nanjiang is a major coal mining province. Other than your Hongtai, which has established its foundation, there are many small private coal mines. Everyone in the country knows this. We don't know how many small mines there are without a license, but I'm sure you know better than us. " Xu Yun: "Those small private coal mines that violate the rules and don't have any safety measures have had a hard time finding long-term supply and marketing partners. This is the result of the country's strict investigation. Therefore, most of the small bosses of Nanjiang's black mines hope to rely on Hongtai. Even if they sell to Hongtai at a lower price, they won't lose anything. Hongtai also benefits. I'm sure Boss Jin won't refuse a win-win partnership. "
Jin Kuang looked at Xu Yun and didn't say a word. This was already an open secret in the industry, but no one really mentioned it in front of Jin Kuang. After all, it was a taboo. According to the formula, the consumption and labor costs of Hongtai to produce a ton of coal were two or even three times higher than that of a small coal mine.
The coal mined by small coal mines was sold to Hongtai at a price that wasn't higher than Hongtai's production cost. They wouldn't lose anything. Although the profit was much less, they didn't have to take any risks. That was enough.
Over time, this industry chain became an open secret. Everyone knew about it, and it was beneficial to both sides. Why not?
Therefore, the small coal mine bosses who wanted to ride on Hongtai's big ship were all lackeys in front of Jin Kuang. Nanjiang was a major coal mining province. Sixty percent of the rich people relied on coal mining for a living. As the big boss of Hongtai, Jin Kuang's position in Nanjiang was self-evident. It could be said that in Nanjiang, he was the second boss. Only the secretary of Nanjiang dared to say that he was the boss.
"President Xu's words are true. Some partnerships are for a win-win purpose." Jin Kuang said, "It's not considered breaking the law. It's just a slight deviation from the rules. Hehehe … Why is President Xu interested in this?"
"Boss Jin, don't misunderstand. I'm not an Interpol agent, nor a federal agent, and definitely not a Hua Xia agent. I just want to find a person." Xu Yun smiled slightly. "Boss Jin should understand what I mean."
Jin Kuang rubbed his temples with both thumbs. "I won't hide it from Chairman Xu. In Nanjiang, there are too many small mines that use Hongtai's name to recruit people. Some of them will indeed recruit underage people to the mines to reduce production costs. They will also reduce the cost of safety protection in order to reduce production costs … I admit this point. However, if Boss Xu wants me to find such a person in the hands of so many small coal mine bosses, there is a certain degree of difficulty. "
"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking with Boss Jin, right?" Xu Yun smiled slightly and raised his wine glass. "Boss Jin, I'd like to propose a toast to you. We're all people of society. We all understand the meaning of the phrase 'one doesn't get up early without benefits'. Boss Jin wants to be friends with me because I can help you in some way, isn't that right? "
Jin Kuang laughed awkwardly. "Hahaha, I see that President Xu is young and promising. I just want to make friends … just make friends …"
"Then, can Boss Jin guarantee that you won't ask me to do anything in the future?" Xu Yun said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Jin Kuang replied tactfully, "We'll be friends in the future. Friends help each other. Who would have the nerve to refuse? Don't you think so, President Xu? Don't worry. As long as the person you're looking for is in Nanjiang, as long as he's a coal miner, I'll definitely find him even if I have to search all the mines in Nanjiang. "
"Boss Jin, this is your guarantee. I want to see him, dead or alive. "Xu Yun finished speaking and drank the wine glass in one gulp." Cheers first. "
Jin Kuang drank to his heart's content. However, he was a little worried. There were so many mines in Nanjiang. Finding this person was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, it was normal for some small coal mines to have accidents. There were many cases where people died. Jin Kuang couldn't guarantee that those small bosses would tell him the truth, right?
To be honest, the problem that Xu Yun gave him was really difficult. However, Jin Kuang understood the meaning behind Xu Yun's words. If he didn't settle this for him, he could forget about Xu Yun helping him in Taiwan in the future.
This sounded like a deal.
"President Xu, I definitely won't let you down." Jin Kuang said, "But you have to give me some time. I'll slowly investigate. Hahaha, this isn't something that can be settled in five minutes."
"I understand, I understand." Xu Yun said, "I think Boss Jin would also want to settle this as soon as possible, right?"
Jin Kuang nodded his head repeatedly. No matter what, he had managed to hitch a ride on the Three Lotus Association's boat. As long as he did his job well, he would be able to get on the Three Lotus Association's boat. The Taiyuan Mine would be a piece of cake.
Everyone toasted and drank merrily. It was Lin Suyin's first time eating medicinal cuisine. She was really surprised because this medicinal cuisine was completely different from what she had imagined. She always thought that medicinal cuisine was a cuisine with a hint of Chinese medicine taste that was hard to swallow. She didn't expect the Ruan Family's medicinal cuisine to not have any Chinese medicine taste at all.
About an hour later, Qin Wan 'er rushed back to Xingkai Hotel after attending a dinner in the station. Today's dinner was different from the past. It was related to whether Ye Fala could successfully serve his sentence outside of prison. Therefore, Qin Wan 'er had to attend.
After everything was over, Qin Wan 'er got a definite answer. She then came back to tell Xu Yun the good news.
When she arrived at the hotel, she heard that Xu Yun was drinking with Boss Jin. She didn't join them but went directly to the room upstairs.
"Oh right, President Xu, I have something else. I don't know if I should say it." Boss Jin smiled and handed a note to Xu Yun. "This is what the stewardess called Fang Ya asked me to pass to Brother Lin. Hahaha, I know that Brother Lin has a prejudice against me. I'll pass it to you."
Xu Yun took it and glanced at it. There was a sentence and a phone number. It seemed that the stewardess really fell in love with Lin Ge at first sight.
Lin Ge blushed. "Give it to me!"
"I'll keep it for you." Xu Yun didn't pass the note to Lin Ge. He was afraid that he would lose it on impulse. Since Fang Ya was so generous, he might as well let her be more generous.
As Xu Yun drank and chatted with Jin Kuang, he sent a message to the number on the note. "Lin Ge's phone number is XXXX. He's shy when he meets a girl he likes. Therefore, I hope you can take the initiative. I wish you success. I'll help you." It was signed off by Xu Yun.
Soon, Xu Yun received a reply from Fang Ya. "Thank you, Brother Yun."
Lin Ge didn't see Xu Yun's little actions at all. His mind was still in a mess, especially after Fatty Jin said that the stewardess left him her phone number. Lin Ge couldn't accept the fact that his peach blossom had suddenly bloomed after so many years of complaining that he didn't have any peach blossoms.
Fortunately, no one mentioned it again. Lin Ge also calmed down a little. He sat quietly and waited for the dinner to end.
