During the meal, Lu Yiwei started chatting with the miners. He asked, "My fellow countrymen, are you all from Fujian?"
"Yes, we're all from the same hometown as Old Pan."
"How does Old Pan treat you guys?"
"He's great! Better than the other coal mines. We're happy to work for him, "one of the miners said contentedly.
"That's good!" Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "If he doesn't treat you well, just tell me. I'll back you up."
"Ah? You're in charge of him? "the miner asked curiously.
"Uh … you could say that."
"Haha, so there's someone Old Pan is afraid of. Haha …"
Lu Yiwei and his fellow miners laughed together. He then asked, "What do you guys need the most?"
"What?" The miners did not understand what Lu Yiwei meant.
Lu Yiwei changed the way he phrased it. "I see that your entertainment is quite monotonous. Do you have any needs in life?"
The miners looked at each other and chuckled. "Actually … actually, we lack women the most …"
"Haha …"
"Yes, it's really hard to live without women. The thing in my pants is almost f * cking rusting. There's not even a fishy smell."
One of the miners suddenly spat out his rice and burst into laughter, not knowing which of his words had hit the funny spot. After laughing for a long time, he stopped and said, "Brother Lu, let me tell you. This bastard saw an old sow the other day. Guess what he said. He said he wanted to f * ck that old sow. Haha …"
Faced with such a realistic problem, Lu Yiwei could not laugh. When the miners stopped laughing, he said, "My fellow countrymen, your needs are not shameful. Any man would want it. I want it too."
"Haha …" Lu Yiwei's words caused the miners to laugh wildly.
When they stopped laughing again, Lu Yiwei continued, "Forgive me for my incompetence. I really can't solve this problem, but I can give you guys a suggestion. Those who are married can bring their wives over. The mine will solve the housing problem for you. As for those who are single, think of your own way. I don't care! "
"Haha …"
At this time, Li Haidong whispered in Lu Yiwei's ear, "A miner brought his wife over. She became their shared property. The miner was so scared that he sent his wife home. He doesn't dare to bring anyone else."
This sentence reminded Lu Yiwei of something. Suddenly, his face darkened and he said, "My fellow countrymen, think of your own ways to deal with women's problems. But there's one thing, we won't do anything illegal, okay?"
At this time, Pan Chengjun and a man pushed open the door and came in. He walked up to Lu Yiwei and said, "Yiwei, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I knew you were coming, so I came back early."
"I was in Jiangdong," Lu Yiwei said. "Lu Yiwei," Lu Yiwei said.
"Lu" Chengjun said. Pan Chengjun was Pan. "I Yiwei, I, Pan, Dong." Pan Lu Yiwei. "
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei shook hands with his fellow miners and told them to be careful.
Upstairs, Pan Chengjun pulled the middle-aged man over and introduced him. "Yiwei, this is Si Mao. He's the accountant of Banpo Village. He's also the mine's accountant. He's a nice guy."
Si Mao did not know who the man in front of him was. He thought he was the leader, so he quickly shook his hand and said, "Hello, leader. We need you to take care of our coal mine in the future."
From this, it could be seen that Pan Chengjun did not reveal his identity to others. He nodded and said, "Of course, of course."
"There's also the chief of Banpo Village. He's also the deputy chief of the mine. He's busy today. I'll introduce him to you when he comes," Pan Chengjun said.
"Okay."
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go home. Remember to come early tomorrow. We still have to go to the county," Pan Chengjun said to Si Mao.
"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow."
After sending off Si Mao, there were only his own people left. Pan Chengjun blushed and explained. "I went to the County Public Security Bureau to approve the explosives. It's very strict, and it's not easy to approve. Sigh! Don't even think about it if you don't have money. "
Lu Yiwei guessed that Pan Chengjun would not go out and wander around. He still had trust in Pan Chengjun and asked. "Is it not easy to approve?"
"Yes." Pan Chengjun nodded and said. "There's a new bureau chief. All the money spent in the past is wasted. Damn! This new bureau chief is worse than the previous one. In the past, the bureau chief only needed to sign and approve the explosives. But now, he took back the authority and wants me to sign it personally. I've been waiting for him in the bureau for the whole day, but I didn't see him. I still have to go tomorrow. "
Hearing Pan Chengjun was working so hard, Lu Yiwei said with concern. "You've lost weight recently. Don't be too anxious."
"How can I not be anxious?" Pan Chengjun said anxiously. "The explosives in the mine can only last for three days. If the approval is not approved, we will have to stop work. Based on this year's situation, we will lose more than 100,000 RMB per day of work."
"Do you need me to step in?" Lu Yiwei asked when he heard that the other party was so difficult to deal with.
Pan Chengjun waved his hand. "Not now. I will let you know when I need you. They have marked the prices clearly. Every coal mine does the same. I have prepared the money, and we just need to send it to the bureau to sign. "
Lu Yiwei smiled helplessly and did not say anything.
"Oh, Yiwei." Pan Chengjun said. "I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"I heard from the other coal mines that they have a channel for explosives. But it's illegal explosives, and there are no procedures. But the price is at least 50% cheaper than the place designated by the Public Security Bureau. They said that the explosives used at the designated place are also produced by this company. But after the approval from the bureau, the price will be doubled. If we use this channel to purchase the explosives, we can save at least 100,000 RMB a year. "
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said. "Let's go to the bureau. After all, we can use the explosives in the bureau. Do you know the source of those illegal explosives? If something goes wrong, you will not be able to explain yourself. Let's just spend more money. As long as it is safe, it is worth it. "
Pan Chengjun did not say anything when he heard Lu Yiwei is being cautious.
Li Haidong could not hold back and said. "Brother Lu, I think this channel is feasible. We can get a smaller amount from the bureau every month, and we can buy the rest from other channels. This is the best of both worlds! "
"Haidong's suggestion is also fine." Pan Chengjun said. "We are still in the initial stage. We should save whatever we can."
Lu Yiwei waved his hand. "There is no need to discuss this. We will follow the laws and regulations. If anything goes wrong, we will not be able to afford it."
Seeing Lu Yiwei insist, both of them did not say anything.
Pan Chengjun changed the topic. "Yiwei, I will report to you about this month's situation. As we have just taken over this month, we are not familiar with many channels. The coal production has not stopped for a day, but the expenses are higher. Basically, it is the same as the income. This situation will change next month. Specifically … "
Pan Chengjun wanted to report in detail, but Lu Yiwei interrupted. "I will not ask about the specifics. That is between you and Haidong. Actually, it is the same. It is the same when you open a shop. There is no rush. Take it slow. I will still say the same thing. Safety first. If anything happens, all of our efforts will go to waste. "
"Don't worry about this." Pan Chengjun said. "I have poached a fellow coal miner from another mine. He has many years of coal mining experience. I will pay him 10,000 RMB a month and let him be in charge of the mine's safety. This person is trustworthy and responsible. He will check the mine almost every day. After confirming there are no hidden dangers, he will let the miners down. "
"Ok. This is good." Lu Yiwei said. "For someone with such skills, even 20,000 RMB a month is not too much. As long as he is responsible, it will be fine. I had said before that I will not interfere with the coal mine. I will still rely on you and let Haidong be your assistant. "
"Ok. Since you trust me so much, I will not shirk my responsibilities. Just do your job, and I will take care of everything here for you." Pan Chengjun said.
Lu Yiwei asked again. "Did anyone come to harass you during this period?"
"This … … Basically no." Pan Chengjun said. "The County's Safety Bureau came once, and the Deputy Mayor who is in charge of the town's safety came twice. Nothing else."
"Why not?" Li Haidong interrupted. "There were also two groups of reporters. Ma Zi from Shangpo Village also came to harass us twice."
Pan Chengjun quickly coughed and tried to shut Li Haidong up.
Lu Yiwei sensed something was amiss and asked. "Who is Ma Zi?"
Li Haidong said. "Ma Zi is a hooligan from Yuze Town. He has a few dozen brothers under him. They are active in the coal mines, and they make a living by collecting protection fees. Some time ago, he came here and heard that the coal mine was contracted by an outsider. That gave him confidence. Good fella, asking for 100,000 RMB. You think I am afraid of him? I scolded him on the spot. But Old Pan is too timid. He forced him to stay and gave me 30,000 RMB. I was so angry. If he comes again, I will break his legs. "
Pan Chengjun saw that the matter was out in the open, so he could only say, "Yiwei, we're outsiders, and we're here to earn money in someone else's territory. It's best not to cause trouble. You can use all kinds of connections to suppress him, but if he tries to do bad things to you, you will not be able to stop him. Furthermore, the coal trucks must pass through Shangpo Village. If you anger him, he will cut off the road, and you will not be able to do anything. With Haidong's temper, the negotiations almost broke down. Luckily, I saved him in time and did not disturb him for a while. "
Li Haidong was still hot-tempered. He said angrily, "Old Pan, if you give in to him, I will ask for 30,000 RMB this time. What about next time? What about the next time? Are you going to give in to him again and again? You have never been in the underworld, so you do not know what kind of people are like. They have big appetites and can't wait to swallow the whole coal mine! If you ask me, if he dares to come again, I will call the brothers in the mine to beat him to death. Let's see if he dares to come again! To deal with this kind of people, if you make them obedient, they will not dare to cause trouble again. "
Hearing Li Haidong's barbaric behavior, Pan Chengjun was speechless. He looked at Lu Yiwei and waited for him to make a decision.
Hooligans like Ma Zi existed in every single place. Especially in the mines, they were even more unscrupulous. Some even got through the police system and used the mountains to commit crimes. There were only two ways to deal with this kind of people. One was to give in, and the other was to make them surrender.
