Zhang Qianxiu understood that he would not account for half of the 70% of the market.
Moreover, most of the people in China are farmers now, and only some urban people need to buy rice. Later, the country vigorously promoted urbanization, and many farmers were unwilling to farm. Some people would buy rice even if they lived in rural areas. Now it is impossible for rural people to buy rice.
Zhang Qianxiu finally focused on mineral resources.
At present, China is engaged in large-scale construction, and the demand for coal mines, copper mines, iron ores, etc. is particularly large, and growing every year.
But even so, the money you can earn is limited, and you have to find a market.
On the contrary, it's a gold mine. There's no need to find a market, but gold mines are not so easy to get.
Su Yuwei seemed to see Zhang Qianxiu's idea. She found out another piece of information and handed it to Zhang Qianxiu: "have a look! I found these materials by myself. They are basically taken from books. I wanted to contact relevant experts, but I don't know anyone in this field. "
Zhang Qianxiu took over the information. This is an overview of the mining industry, mainly about coal mines, iron ores, copper mines and gold mines.
Zhang Qianxiu was most interested in gold mines. He looked at them and found that gold mines were not as simple as he thought.
The grade of gold ore is GT, that is, how many grams are contained in a ton of ore.
Generally, the common ore content is about 5g to 70g per ton of ore, and the high one is more than 100g.
As far as the current situation is concerned, only when the ore content per ton reaches more than 2G can the mining value be realized. Otherwise, it is basically a loss.
This is mainly due to the limitation of mining technology and equipment. Without this gold content, all costs are basically lost.
On this information, there is also a map showing the distribution of proven gold deposits.
However, these known gold mines can only be mined with relevant certificates. It is almost impossible for an individual to open a gold mine. In other words, even if you get the relevant certificates, the state also needs shares.
At that time, it will be basically that the state will take part of the profits you dig out, even if you pay for your hard work. In this process, the state will not give a dime, but it will take a share.
When Zhang Qianxiu saw these materials, he had an idea in his heart. After chatting with Su Yuwei for a while, Zhang Qianxiu called Lu Tongyun.
Lu Tongyun didn't dare to stay in Shangjing any longer because of the old dog. He packed up and went back that day.
When receiving the call from Zhang Qianxiu, Lu Tongyun was already in the city of their hometown, waiting for the bus. Seeing Zhang Qianxiu calling, Lu Tongyun hesitated for a moment before answering: "hello... Boss Zhang!"
"Boss Lu, do you have time recently? Would you like to see me? " Zhang Qianxiu asked.
Lu Tongyun said: "I have returned to my hometown, not in Shangjing."
Zhang Qianxiu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why Lu Tongyun wanted to go back and asked, "boss Lu, when will you come to Beijing next year?"
Lu Tongyun said: "it is estimated that they will go after March of the lunar calendar. Those who go to the north for gold basically wait until after March. They go too early to thaw."
Lu Tongyun is helping those gold miners to sell gold. Naturally, his business is only when the gold miners work. Usually, he doesn't have much business. At most, he helps some people to exchange some gold and so on. He doesn't care how the gold comes from, but such business is usually not very much.
If there were no old dogs, Lu Tongyun would not have come until then, but now he is afraid that old dogs will come back to trouble themselves.
Although the possibility is very small, it is also possible.
When Zhang Qianxiu heard that Lu Tongyun would come so late, he didn't beat around the Bush and said, "boss Lu, I want to talk to you sometime."
"I'm going to dig for gold. Are you interested?"
Lu Tongyun said: "boss Zhang, the gold mine is making money, but in fact, it is losing money. To tell you the truth, there may not be coal mines making money."
"If you have something to do with getting the relevant certificates of the coal mine, it's better to dig the coal mine directly."
Zhang Qianxiu naturally knows that, but coal mines need to have sales support, just like doing business. The more you dig out, the more you sell. If you can get along well with those smelters and thermal power plants, if you can't find such partners and simply rely on selling coal to ordinary people, it will be a big trouble.
Gold mines can be sold when they are dug out!
Zhang Qianxiu said, "what if we can find a gold mine with good gold content?"
Lu Tongyun said: "it's very difficult! Boss Zhang, I'll tell you the truth. If you can find a professional exploration team to explore, there is still a little hope that we can find gold mines, not to mention how many mines there are. "
"I went to the river for gold and saw others dig for gold, but we found the master who looked at the mine. They were basically half a bucket of water. There was a certain chance to judge whether there was any ore in it, not to mention how much ore there was."
"If you want to make money in gold mining, a reliable survey team is absolutely indispensable."
Zhang Qianxiu said, "I'll look for it!"
"At that time, I'll think of a way to see if we can find a professional survey team. If we can go through the formalities, we'll dig openly. If we can't, boss Lu will find someone."
Lu Tong Yun used to be a gold digger. He could find the right person no matter he was panning for gold in the river or mining gold.
When Lu Tongyun heard Zhang Qianxiu's words, he was really moved. After all, he saw Zhang Qianxiu's financial resources. Maybe Zhang Qianxiu could find a professional exploration team.
"Boss Zhang, I'll think about it and give you an answer in a few years, OK?" Lu Tongyun said.
Zhang Qianxiu also understood that it's normal for Lu Tongyun to think about it: "OK, boss Lu can contact me at any time after he thinks about it."
Lu Tongyun said: "OK! I'll get back to boss Zhang as soon as possible. "
After two polite words with Lu Tongyun and hanging up the phone, Zhang Qianxiu thought about it in his heart and said to Su Yuwei, "daughter-in-law, according to the information above, even if we find a gold mine with fair content, it's good to make tens of millions a year."
Su Yuwei nodded: "almost, the net profit will not be too high. In fact, gold mines do not make money from coal mines."
Zhang Qianxiu found a production benefit table from the data Su Yuwei gave him.
At present, the cost of a ton of coal mining is about 10 to 20 yuan, until it is sold, including transportation, storage and so on. The cost of a ton is about 30 yuan, but the selling price is more than 50 yuan, and the gross profit is about 40%.
Of course, there is a mining license. How much does it cost the country to mine a ton of coal.
The country generally grants you a license of several hundred thousand tons at a time. After you have collected the quantity, you continue to pay.
If you hand in this part of the money, the gross profit will drop directly to about 20% and the net profit will be about 10%. If the mine is not good or it is difficult to mine, it would be nice to have a few% profit.
In fact, many people with a 100000 ton mining license will not only excavate 100000 tons, but will excavate 300000 tons, 500000 tons or even one million tons.
In this way, profits will naturally be high. To put it bluntly, what we earn is money for the country.
Some of the better mines, even according to the rules, can make a lot of money, but those that are not so good mines can only cheat on their certificates.
The situation of gold mine is worse than that of coal mine. If we can't find a mine with high gold content, all the costs will be good.
According to the current situation, one ton of ore contains two grams of gold, but if the certificate is included, one ton of gold needs at least five grams to make money, and the gold ore has to be refined and other processes. Overall, the benefit is not as good as that of coal mines.
Later, there was a gold mining company with a turnover of 50 billion yuan a year and a net profit of 1.3 billion yuan.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "we do it first. If we dig out the gold, we can sell it directly. If we dig it secretly, as long as the gold content is OK, we can basically make a steady profit."
"If it's a coal mine, we'll find a way to get through."
Su Yuwei asked, "are you going to Inner Mongolia or Sanjin?"
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Shanxi Province!"
Later on, when we talk about "coal boss", we think of Sanjin province. This province is a big coal producing province, but actually Inner Mongolia has more coal mines than Sanjin province.
However, the coal in Sanjin province is of good quality and easy to be mined. The coal in Sanjin province does not need to remove sulfur, but the coal in Inner Mongolia Province has high sulfur content and must be removed sulfur. In this era, the coal mines in Inner Mongolia Province hardly move.
Zhang Qianxiu was not familiar with Shanxi Province, and he didn't know anyone. It was a big project to mine coal, apply for a license, and find a market.
Su Yuwei said: "then you have to find a way to get to know a few coal owners. At that time, you have to find a way to get through the market. You have no resources in this area."
"Let's go and see one step at a time." Zhang Qianxiu put down all the information and said, "there is still a bigger problem. I don't have enough people in my hand. If all industries do it at the same time, no one will manage it. It's just the two of us, even if we are busy all day."
"When the time comes, we'll find a way to recruit some reliable people. It's easy to find the workers at the bottom, but hard to find the reliable management."
Su Yuwei said: "go to the University of mining and technology to have a look. Let Professor Tian and Professor Yuan do me a favor and see if they can get on the bridge."
Zhang Qianxiu thinks the same way. Many college students will go to work in the corresponding units after graduation. Teachers and students like yuan pengchi and Liang Junming are all connected. If we can find some Liang Junming who have excellent professional skills and have worked in the official units for a long time, it is the best to have professional and experienced people.
Zhang Qianxiu wry smile: "today is 26, there are still four days to celebrate the new year, there are still many things to deal with, if you have to see a few professors, it's not urgent."
"You chose it yourself!" Su Yuwei said: "if you don't spread out all these things now, the school will spend a lot of money and scientific research will spend a lot of money. If only biscuits, tins, cereals and oils and imports can make money, you can't stand it. Now that the school and scientific research have not been completely built and the money is not very strong, you can still draw money to do other industries."
"When there is a large amount of investment in schools and scientific research, your industries should be able to stabilize. Not to mention making money for you to invest in education and scientific research, at least they should be basically stable and break even."
