Lu Yiwei went from Yongsheng Coal Mine to Xin Heng Coal Mine without stopping. When he reached the entrance, the door was locked, and it was quiet inside. Other than a few rooms with lights on, he could only hear the northwest wind and the barking of dogs. It was the complete opposite of the bustling scene in Yongsheng Coal Mine.
Xu Changyuan turned around and looked at Lu Yiwei. "Secretary Lu, do you want to call Wang Zhian?"
Lu Yiwei looked haggard and said. "Go to the gatehouse and ask about the situation."
"Okay."
Xu Changyuan jumped out of the car and knocked on the lights for a long time. Then, there was a violent coughing sound. An old man opened the curtains and said angrily through the glass. "Who is it? It's the middle of the night. Can't you let me sleep?"
Xu Changyuan did not reveal his identity and asked patiently. "Is your Chairman Wang here?"
"Who are you? Why are you looking for someone in the middle of the night?"
"I have something urgent to talk to him about."
The old man said fiercely. "No!" After that, he closed the curtains and went back to sleep.
Xu Changyuan returned to the car and shook his head. "I can't find out anything. But I saw Mayor Liu's car parked in the yard, and Zhou Fanlin's car."
Lu Yiwei raised his head and looked at the room with the lights on. "Call Wang Zhiquan now."
Xu Changyuan dialed the number and pressed the speaker button. "Hello, Director Xu. Why are you calling so late at night?"
Xu Changyuan looked at Lu Yiwei and asked. "CEO Wang, where are you?"
"Uh … Oh … I'm at home." While they were talking, the sound of mahjong could be heard.
Wang Zhiquan quickly went to the window and looked down. He saw Lu Yiwei's car and quickly stepped back. "I am at the mine. What's the matter?"
"Oh, that's good. We are at the door. Secretary Lu is looking for you urgently."
"Okay, okay. I will go down now."
Three minutes later, the door opened. After the car drove in, Wang Zhiquan stood at the door to welcome them. After Lu Yiwei got out of the car, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Secretary Lu, I didn't know you were coming so late. Sorry for not going out to greet you."
Lu Yiwei didn't bother with pleasantries. As he walked upstairs, he asked, "Who's upstairs?"
Wang Zhiquan does not know if Dong Xuebing saw the cars downstairs. He said: "Mayor Liu, Mayor Deng and Bureau Chief Zhou. It's like this. They've just arrived, and they've been tired for the whole day. They need a break. "
He was busy running around the county, but they were hiding here playing mahjong. Lu Yiwei was displeased, but he didn't explode. He went upstairs and went straight to the office. Wang Zhiquan followed him in and said, "Secretary Lu, should I tell Mayor Liu that you're here?"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "There's no need. I have something to discuss with you. I'll leave after saying a few words."
Wang Zhiquan sat down uneasily. Lu Yiwei asked, "Why is the mine so quiet? Has it stopped producing?"
"It's like this. It's almost Chinese New Year. The workers have already gone back for the holidays. There are only a few people on duty."
"When did the holidays start?"
"Yesterday."
"That means there are no more plans to produce this year?"
Wang Zhiquan smiled and said. "I want to produce, but the workers have to go back for Chinese New Year. I have no choice but to stop production."
"How much coal do we have left?"
Wang Zhiquan rolled his eyes and said. "About 50,000 tonnes. But this batch of coal has been ordered. The power plant wants 20000 tonnes, and a company in Henan had ordered 80,000 tonnes. We can only supply the rest to them."
Lu Yiwei paused and asked. "Do you know about the snow disaster in the south?"
"Yes. I read the news every day."
"That's good. In the face of a national disaster, as a company, we should show our responsibility. We just received a call from Mayor Dong. He wants our Long 'an County to supply 50,000 tonnes of coal to a power plant in Hubei. It's not a lot. Yong Sheng Coal Mine had agreed to supply 10000 tonnes. For a big company like Xin Heng Coal Mine, you should at least supply 20,000 tonnes. "
Wang Zhiquan scratched his head. "Secretary Lu, I will definitely support the country. But now, the workers are on holiday. How are we going to mine the coal? This is a problem. We cannot just supply the coal to them. We have signed a contract, and if we break the contract, we will have to pay 20% compensation … …"
Lu Yiwei interrupted. "Boss Wang, I am not here to negotiate with you. I am not here to listen to your complaints. I am giving you a political task. I will not talk to you. You know the situation better than me. I don't care what you do. You must supply 20,000 tonnes of coal. Tomorrow, send it to the power plant. Also, the price must be lowered by 50%. "
Wang Zhiquan was completely dumbfounded. After a long while, he said, "Secretary Lu, you're not joking, right? A ton of coal is 800 yuan now, and if it's reduced by 50%, it'll be 400 yuan. I'll lose close to 10 million yuan, and I still have to send it to them. This … … "
"I am not asking you to lose money. This is what the Provincial Government wants. I am only passing on the message. Since the City has given us this task, we must complete it on time. For your mines, a few million is nothing, and even less for the country. However, the frontlines are in urgent need of resources. You must know that everything you have today is given to you by the country. There is no room for negotiation. "
Wang Zhiquan gritted his teeth. This is daylight robbery, and he cannot find any reason to reject. "Secretary Lu, how about this? I will start hiring workers tomorrow and start production at full capacity. We will complete the task in 5 days."
"Boss Wang, now is not the time to negotiate. The City wants the coal to be shipped to Hubei tomorrow. 5 days later, it will be too late. There is an urgent need for electricity, and the disaster is an order. We cannot wait any longer. "
Losing a few million RMB is like digging his own flesh. Wang Zhiquan grumbled, "Secretary Lu, it's really not that I don't want to help the country, but our coal mine's situation is like this. If we breach the contract with the Henan Company, we will lose a lot of money.
Lu Yiwei replied emotionlessly. "Are you negotiating with me? If you are, then let's talk about how much taxes you have paid and how much have you evaded? "
"This … … We are doing business legally."
Lu Yiwei lost his patience and said. "Boss Wang, everyone has their own difficulties. The country is facing more difficulties than you. In the face of the bigger picture, you must obey unconditionally. Of course, the country will not let you do this for free. Let's settle the urgent matters first, and we can talk about the rest later. I will come again tomorrow morning. Hurry up and prepare. "
Wang Zhiquan saw Lu Yiwei is about to leave and said anxiously. "Secretary Lu, how about this? Give me two days, and I will complete the task."
Lu Yiwei turned back to look at him, his red eyes emitting a cold light, causing Wang Zhiquan to shrink back. Wang Zhiquan replied. "Fine. I will start preparing now."
