This matter is a long story:

During the period when Feng Xiaochen was busy setting up Chenyu Company, the cold water mine was not idle either.

Feng Shuyi accompanied Arkan and Danpier of Grani Building Materials Company to the cold water mine and extracted the granite mined from the mine for inspection, confirming that the granite here is of good quality and reaches the level of first-class stone in the European market. At the same time, the granite reserves around the cold water mine also made Arkan and others quite excited, and immediately determined their intention to cooperate with the cold water mine for a long time.

According to the agreement, Grani will import 2,000 cubic meters of decorative stone from cold water mines every year. Cold water mines need to polish, polish, engrave and other processing of these stones, and then ship them to Germany by sea. The stones are settled at the FOB price, and the price per cubic meter is US$950, equivalent to RMB 1,600, which is more than 10% higher than Feng Xiaochen's previous estimate. The ability to negotiate such a high price is of course due to Feng Shuyi's work in private. Feng Shuyi spares no effort in helping Feng Xiaochen.

Pan Caishan and a group of leaders of the Cold Water Mine have done a serious calculation. Based on the export volume of 2,000 cubic meters, the annual output value is US$1.9 million, which is approximately RMB 3.2 million. The equipment loss, water, electricity, transportation and other costs involved in the production process shall not exceed 30%, which is about RMB 1 million. 1,000 unemployed young people are engaged in production, and the high salary of RMB 40 per person per month is about RMB 500,000 for the whole year. All of them are calculated, the Cold Water Mine can still make a net profit of more than RMB 1.7 million a year.

Since stone factories are large collective enterprises and not state-owned, most of their profits can be left in cold water mines. Whether they are used to provide benefits to employees, or to keep building houses or buying cars, the financial department has nothing to say.

In addition, the annual foreign exchange earnings of US$1.9 million is also a great highlight in Linhe Province. In recent years, the country has attached great importance to export foreign exchange earnings, and enterprises that can earn foreign exchange are much more confident in speaking in the province than others.

After Feng Shuyi and the others talked about the stone, they left China and returned to Germany. Before she left, Feng Li and Feng Fei took their wives to the capital and met this sister-in-law whom they had never met. They asked her to bring a lot of gifts to their mother and third brother who were far away in Germany. There is no need to explain this in detail.

After Arkan and his friends returned to Germany, they quickly sent the stamped contract, and the stone export agreement officially took effect. Pan Caishan did not dare to delay at all, and immediately set up a shed and purchased equipment to allow unemployed young people to start stone production.

Ning Mo and others stayed at home for several years, and their eyes turned green when they were looking forward to a job opportunity. Now that they had a job, they were all excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They were picking stones, transporting stones, cutting, polishing, carving, etc., and they were doing very well. The daily output of stones almost doubled. Pan Caishan calculated that at this production speed, the annual production task of 2,000 cubic meters can be completed in less than half a year.

Just as Pan Caishan was wondering if he could find another agent to open up a new market in Japan or the United States, a slap fell from the sky. A notice from the local power supply bureau sent a cold water mine, saying that the cold water mine had been too high recently and had exceeded the electricity consumption of the entire mine, and that work and production must be stopped and production limited, otherwise, let alone production electricity, even the household electricity in the family area would be interrupted.

The notice from the Power Supply Bureau is not a waste of money. After the notice, the stone factory encountered frequent power outages. It used to be able to work three shifts a day and work for 24 hours, but now it is impossible to guarantee that the start of 8 hours of construction will be carried out. In the statistical chart of the production office, the curve representing the daily output of stone is like a kite with broken strings, and it keeps planting downwards.

Faced with this situation, how could Pan Caishan sit still? He first asked the deputy mine manager Yan Fusheng to negotiate with the regional power supply bureau, and then went to the Provincial Power Bureau to request an increase in power supply indicators. After the negotiation with the power department, Pan Caishan simply went straight to find the Provincial Economic Commission, Provincial Planning Commission, Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau and other units, and asked them to come forward to coordinate the power use issue. I don’t know whether it was the stone factory’s nearly 2 million yuan export revenue a year, or whether Pan Caishan’s personal face played a role. These units cooperated very well and specially asked the Provincial Power Bureau to hold a coordination meeting, which coordinated tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity for the stone factory in the cold water mine.

But the stone is simply an electric tiger. The additional tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity has been exhausted in less than a month. Pan Caishan went to the Power Bureau again, and people spread their hands, saying that the whole country is seriously short of electricity, and Linhe Province is even more in a province with a tight electricity use. Enterprises 100 times more important than your large collective ownership factory have power cuts and limits. If we open the network to you, what should other companies do if we find us? You can also increase the power supply. Go to the Northern Electric Power Administration to ask for indicators and ask them to transfer some electricity from other provinces for you to use. Anyway, the electricity in this province is absolutely not enough. Could it be that we have to pinch the lighting in the provincial capital to protect your small factory?

The Economic Commission, Planning Commission and other units no longer say anything at this time. Exporting foreign exchange earnings is of course a good thing, but what should we do if you open an electric tiger to make foreign exchange earnings? In those days, the electricity indicators were allocated according to the province. There were so many units in the province, and the palms and backs of the hands were flesh. The Economic Commission and Planning Commission could not favor cold water mines too much.

Pan Caishan went to various departments to beg for alms in his father and grandma. The Provincial Power Bureau finally gave him several thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity, but repeatedly told Pan Caishan that this electricity could only be used for the main business production of cold water mines and the lives of family members. If it was used as electricity for stone factories, then every household would be notified to prepare a few boxes of candle lighting in the next six months.

The province's path was no longer available, so Pan Caishan found the Metallurgical Bureau and asked the Metallurgical Bureau to help find a solution. At this time, the industrial experiment of dump trucks had already been carried out in the cold water mine, and the cold water mine actively cooperated with this matter. Pan Caishan used this as a reason and said that the premise for the cold water mine to undergo industrial experiments in dump trucks was to help resettle unemployed young people. The Metallurgical Bureau had a good idea and a stone factory was built, but now it was unable to produce due to power outages. It is equivalent to the fact that the Metallurgical Bureau has not been completed and cannot be left alone.

Of course, Pan Caishan's reason is untenable. The Metallurgical Bureau has come up with an idea for you, and has also used internal relations to help you find European agents. Even the transaction prices in the agreement are thanks to the Metallurgical Bureau's private operation. Otherwise, the cold water mine may have made the stone look cheap. The Metallurgical Bureau has done so much work that you can't even solve the problem of production and electricity. Who else can you blame?

Of course, Pan Caishan didn't know that he was in a disadvantage, but now he was at a loss. Isn't he just arrested anyone? The 120-ton dump truck is still running in the cold water mine. If the Metallurgical Bureau cannot help the cold water mine solve this difficulty, it can be done if the cold water mine finds a fault to interrupt the dump truck test. Considering that finding a mine for industrial experiments is so troublesome, Luo Xiangfei could only accept Pan Caishan's cheating.

The Metallurgical Bureau asked the State Economic Commission for instructions and appointed a director to accompany Pan Caishan to the Ministry of Electric Power to discuss the issue of increasing electricity to the cold water ore factory. The Ministry of Electric Power is also quite embarrassed, because the Linhe Provincial Power Bureau has already issued a statement that the province's electricity is absolutely not enough, and the stone factory must be strengthened unless the electricity can be transferred from the neighboring province.

When it comes to cross-provincial power transfer, the Ministry of Electric Power must be very cautious. The person who received them was a deputy director of the Ministry of Electric Power, who told Pan Caishan and the others about his difficulties: it is not that the Ministry of Electric Power does not have the power to say hello to the power bureaus of each province, but once he says hello, he will inevitably be criticized for being "benefiting one and overestimating the other". The power department of the neighboring province will say, why do you need to transfer electricity to Linhe Province? They are doing exports and foreign exchange, but no penny is left to our province. What reason do we have to supply power to them?

Not only did the director of the Economic Commission understand this concern of the Ministry of Electricity, but Pan Caishan also understood it very well. When people talked about this level, he would seem too ignorant if he complained. He looked at the director of the Economic Commission, stood up helplessly and prepared to say goodbye, but the deputy director of the Ministry of Electricity seemed to mutter to himself:

"Actually, there is no way to do this..."

"What did you say? What's the solution?" Pan Caishan rushed to the other side, almost as if he was about to pinch the other side's neck and let him tell him the solution.

The deputy director smiled and said, "The Pinghe Power Plant is next to your cold water mine. The power generated by the Pinghe Power Plant accounts for 20% of the Northern Electric Power Management Bureau. A little bit of it leaks from your fingers is enough for your stone factory. Why don't you go to them to discuss it?"

After waking up the dreamer, Pan Caishan suddenly realized his mind. After excitedly thanking the deputy director, he returned to the Metallurgical Bureau. He found Luo Xiangfei again and made only one request: lend him the last Xiao Feng to him for a few days. Apart from that, the Metallurgical Bureau no longer needs to do anything.

"I'm so dizzy, what's the use of him lending me?"

Feng Xiaochen heard Luo Xiangfei talk about this big reason, and the monk Zhang Er asked in a daze. The Pinghe Power Plant that Luo Xiangfei mentioned is a large power plant in the north. Feng Xiaochen had contact with him in his previous life, but he had no friendship in this life. Pan Caishan was going to Pinghe Power Plant to establish a relationship, so why did he ask Feng Xiaochen to participate by name?

Luo Xiangfei smiled and said, "This is called the ability to work harder. Pinghe Power Plant and Cold Water Mine are two systems, and they have nothing to do with each other. Cold Water Mine goes to the Hepinghe Power Plant business out of thin air, and it is very important to be turned away. Lao Pan said, "You little Feng has a bad idea, and even Old Pan has been hit by your words. If you appear, this matter will definitely be done."
