Since the other party said so, Wang Wenchao boldly said, "If my guess is correct, Secretary Lu wants to rectify Long 'an's name. Promote the red spirit of Long 'an, arouse the memory of the martyrs and heroic soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, and cleanse the soul from the mind. At the same time, let more people know about Long 'an, get familiar with Long' an, and remember Long 'an through extensive publicity. "
Lu Yiwei squinted at him and smiled, "Sure enough, I didn't misjudge you. Do it well. I can't promise you anything now, but I won't mistreat you. Whether this round of publicity can be effective depends on how you do it. Furthermore, not only do you want to promote the red culture of Long 'an, but you also want to promote the natural scenery of Long' an. You can invite some reporters from the major media to visit Long 'an and let them experience the beautiful scenery of Long' an. Don't be afraid of spending money. I'll fully support you as long as you can come up with good ideas and ideas. "
Wang Wenchao nodded and said, "Secretary Lu, I'm suddenly enlightened after hearing your words. In fact, Long 'an has never attached importance to publicity, and you're the first one to put it in such an important position. I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely do a good job. "
"Well, whether you need money or manpower, you can write a report after you're done. If you need the cooperation from other departments, I'll ask the County party committee to issue a notice to create the best environment and conditions for you. "
"Thank you, Secretary Lu."
After talking about business, Lu Yiwei sat up and looked at him, saying, "Do you know why I want to put you in an important position?"
Wang Wenchao's eyes were flustered as he shook his head.
Lu Yiwei calmly said, "I first look at the character, then look at the talent. If the character isn't good, I won't use you no matter how talented you are. I don't know you, but I can see from your works that you're a kind person. You care about the cause of Long 'an and the suffering of the people. Whatever you've done in the past and who you've been with, it doesn't matter to me. Be yourself and maybe we can still be friends. "
Wang Wenchao quickly stood up and said emotionally, "Thank you, Secretary Lu. I won't let you down."
"Sit! Why were they so restrained? This was not an office, but a casual chat between friends. You must be very familiar with the situation in Long'an. "
Wang Wenchao sat down and nodded. "More or less."
"How much do you know about Longjiang Coal Industry and Xinsheng Coal Mine?"
Wang Wenchao said, "The matter of these two coal mines dates back to seven or eight years ago. Let's talk about the Longjiang Coal Company first. This company was a project that the then-secretary of the County party committee had invested in. Back in the day, Long'an had to rely on its finances to make a living. It was so poor that it could not even afford to pay the salaries of its financial staff, let alone develop its economy. In addition, the mineral resources in the territory were not rich. Coal resources were mainly distributed around Yong Sheng Town, and the reserves were not bad. Coal mining had a long history and was recorded as early as the Qing Dynasty. After liberation, it had been operated by the county until the reform and opening up, when private capital was allowed to enter. In the early 1990s, more than 20 coal mines emerged in Yong Sheng Town and Longquan Town. Even today, there are still more than a dozen. Among them, the largest are Longjiang Coal Industry and Xinsheng Coal Mine. "
"In order to solve the financial crisis, the then-secretary of the County party committee restructured the state-owned coal mines and contracted them to the Xijiang Coal and Coke Group. They promised to pay a certain amount of the contract fee every year, which was enough to pay the salaries of the employees. After the state-owned shares, the benefits of the coal mines improved significantly. Even if the market was not good, the other party did not break their promise and paid the relevant fees on time every year. "
"Xinsheng Coal Mine was a rising star. It was originally owned by the Yong Sheng Town government, and later contracted to the Wang brothers, Wang Zhiquan and Wang Zhian. Not only did they merge other small coal mines, but they also established the Xinheng Group to develop the coal and coke business. The cake was only so big, and as they dug, they dug into the boundaries of other coal mines, and thus formed a grudge. "
"These years, Xinsheng Coal Mine has been suppressing the Longjiang Coal Industry because they are locals. Not only that, the county has come forward to protect the Wang brothers, trying to squeeze the company out of Long'an. But the other party has been tolerating and not haggling with the other party. Until last year, the accumulated conflict finally broke out. Hundreds of people from Xinsheng Coal Mine rushed into Longjiang Coal Industry and smashed it. More than 20 people were killed and injured, and countless machinery and equipment were destroyed. The losses were quite heavy. "
"Because of this, the department in charge of Longjiang Coal Industry was infuriated. They used their connections in the province to put pressure on Nanzhou City and Long'an County government to deal with it seriously. In desperation, at the beginning of this year, the then-secretary of the County party committee, Zhao Dejun, was given a warning. It had been handled properly, but who knew that just a month ago, Xinsheng Coal Mine and Longjiang Coal Industry had another conflict. Although it was not as big as the last time, there were casualties. In a rage, the city removed Secretary Zhao from his position. To this day, the problem of the two coal mines has not been properly resolved. "
Lu Yiwei listened with trepidation and thought, "Why did the County party committee secretary deal with it the first time it broke out, and not the county magistrate? Also, is there no problem at all with the person in charge of Xinsheng Coal Mine? "
Mentioning this issue, Wang Wenchao was obviously a little nervous. He hesitated and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but the Public Security Bureau arrested Wang Zhian and only detained him for 15 days before he was released."
"Oh, then what was the reason for the second outbreak?"
"It was because of the issue of interests. I heard in private that Xinsheng Coal Mine wanted to merge with Longjiang Coal Industry, but the higher authorities definitely did not agree, so the conflict was ignited again. "
Although Wang Wenchao hid some of the facts, Lu Yiwei had guessed some clues. If he wasn't mistaken, Xinsheng Coal Mine had the support of the county behind it, and it was even openly supporting it. Otherwise, the other party would not dare to compete with state-owned enterprises no matter how big the burden was. Was it Liu Zhankui?
"Oh, then how do you think it should be resolved?"
Wang Wenchao panicked and shook his head. "Secretary Lu, I have never worked in a coal mine, so I don't dare to say how to resolve it."
"It's just a chat. Just say it."
Wang Wenchao paused and said, "How should I put it? Longjiang Coal Industry had made great contributions to the development of Long An County in a certain period of time. We can't chase them out just because of the rise in coal prices. As far as I know, the contract signed at that time stated that the County would be given 3 million RMB a year, but the amount given in private is more than that. In addition, the company's management is quite standard, and I have never heard of any coal mine accidents. "
"From Long An County's point of view, it is reasonable to take back the coal mine. After all, it is an asset left by their ancestors, and outsiders have made money without giving much to the county. As far as I know, Long An's annual turnover is hundreds of millions, and most of the profits are handed over to the parent company. There is not much left for Long An. Based on the feelings of the people and the situation of the county, most people want to take back the coal mine. "
