Cosma Empire

Chapter 619 West Hoe

With such a big event happening in the west, the West Mine Club still holds various receptions regularly as before.

On the eastern outskirts of Vallier City, there is a huge "garden" with various buildings and high-quality lawns covering one square meter. People who often pass by here can vaguely see some well-dressed gentlemen sitting and chatting together on the green grass in the distance, or these people take off their coats and ride horses to play polo in a small area. Here is The headquarters of the Western Mining Association. Those mine owners didn't mind donating tens of thousands of funds to maintain everything here, and this place also represented their face.

At this time, on a soil slope, several mine owners were wearing shirt vests and exquisite peaked caps, waving clubs and hitting small balls far away. This is a new social movement from the Federation. Once it was introduced into the empire, it aroused strong acclaim. Gentlemen and ladies in the upper class liked this movement very much. It is said that the feminist movement organization plans to hold a A competition with women as the main body to promote feminism.

Like the people in the streets and alleys of the west, these people were also discussing the attack outside the city hall, but they all showed gloating expressions, and they couldn't find the slightest worry in their tone. Memnon's troubles are definitely good news for the Western Mine Association and for the mine owners in the entire west, and it is a happy thing.

After he won the ruling power of several cities, he began to consider how to incorporate the mine guard team, how to dismantle private arms, and ensure that the official is the only formally armed force in this land. This idea was immediately opposed by almost all mine owners. Without the mine guard team, their property safety and life safety cannot be guaranteed. Those horse bandits and robbers will visit their mine area at any time as if they were their own home and plunder them. all wealth.

Even if Memnon proposed an intermediate proposal, that is, the state government should set up a new department to protect the safety of major mining areas, and the mine owners only need to pay a certain management fee. Moreover, the state government will adopt the "regional joint protection" method to ensure and improve the safety index of major mining areas. Once a mining area is attacked, the nearby mining areas will immediately send some people to support the attacked mining area.

There is indeed no big problem with this idea in essence, and it can even be said to be more efficient than the current mine owners who are doing their own thing. After adopting the regional joint protection method, the number of security personnel in each mining area can be reduced on a large scale, as long as they can resist attacks from the outside world for a certain period of time. It can be said that once this plan is implemented in all mining areas in the west, the expenses of mine owners will be reduced, and the safety factor will be improved at the same time.

A plan is a plan because plans are always good, but not so acceptable. No one is willing to entrust the safety of their property and life on a party that has engaged in terrorist attacks, and the Progressive Party really has nothing that can be presented before to convince everyone. But even if they have it, people will still not accept it. Weapons are always safest when they are held in their own hands and pointed at others.

So Memnon's plan failed, and the lack of cooperation of the mine owners directly led to the failure of his other big plan. Some time ago, it probably generally refers to when Memnon was actively promoting this plan a few years ago. His idea was to use such a special department, or even set up a company independently to replace the group of private armed forces in the Western Mining Association. At the same time, the mine owner can take advantage of this matter to expose his private armed forces to the public without letting anyone find any means of disclosure and attacking him.

As a minority party, he still has a deep sense of self-protection. Once the new party or the old party thinks that eradicating him and the Progressive Party is the best choice, he can at least pull out a group of armed forces to fight anytime and anywhere, even It is a separatist regime.

After his plan failed, he began to think of ways to toss these mine owners,

For example, the mining area needs to provide the minimum jobs from 15 jobs per square kilometer to 55 jobs per square kilometer, and some other policies have been formulated to make mine owners very upset. These policies will not make mine owners feel pain, but they can make them feel disgusted, just like eating a bite of shit may not necessarily kill you, but it will definitely be unacceptable.

This time Memnon was in big trouble, and everyone was very happy. It was time for this bastard to feel what pain is.

With the sound of pa, a gentleman in his forties swung his cue and sent the bulging ball flying. They looked at the falling white ball in the distance, and he swung his arm vigorously, "It's a very beautiful shot. ..." As he spoke, he handed the cue to the caddy beside him, asked the caddy to hold it for him, and took the towel to wipe his face.

"I heard that Mr. Hendry, you can't dig out anything in the No. 3 mine?" The person next to him suddenly said something, which made the gentleman's face change a little.

However, he nodded sincerely and confirmed the matter, "There is a big gap between the results of the exploration at that time and the current reality, and there is still a difference of more than one million yuan before the cost can be recovered, but I have no plans to continue to explore the surrounding areas. Even if we can find a new deposit, I am afraid it will not be long before digging, and maybe we will continue to expand our losses."

Mr. Hendry's words made several friends around him immediately interested. The biggest concern of those who open mines in the west is not horse bandits and robbers, but that they will no longer be able to push out a mine cart full of ore in their mines. , which hurts them more seriously than anything else. Without ore, it means that there is no output, and various commissions will be paid continuously, which also means that the mine is over.

Poor Mr. Roel caused a monstrous mine disaster because he couldn't dig it out, yes, "made it"! Inside the West Mining Association, people used the word "manufacturing" very positively on this matter. Everyone knew well about the accident that happened in Mr. Roel's mining area. It was a man-made disaster, and the purpose was to deceive the insurance company. .

The term fraud insurance has also become popular within the Western Mine Association. Some small mine owners are even researching this matter. If one day they can’t dig out anything in their mines, can they also try to make There was a mine accident, and then I finally made a fortune, and left the west with a huge amount of compensation to invest in some industries in the south. It is said that the light industry in the south is very hot now, and you don't need much investment but you can see massive returns.

Especially for some brand clothing companies, they mass-produce some well-known low-end and middle-end brand mass-produced ready-made garments. The sales volume in the society is unbelievable, but it will also bring a series of problems. For example, the influence of this brand in the upper class has plummeted. After all, not everyone who is willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a custom-made suit is willing to wear the same brand as ordinary people on the roadside, which lowers their class a bit.

But this doesn't matter much to those investors and brand owners. It is said that the money they make from the common people and the middle class far exceeds the money they make from the upper class for the rich and powerful. many.

"Mr. Hendry, what are you going to do with your No. 3 mine?" A guy next to Hendry asked with great concern, as if he noticed Hendry's vigilant gaze, he immediately explained: "No Misunderstood, my mine has also entered a countdown, at most half a year to a year will completely stop output..."

Except for Yaojing, any veins will be dug one day, especially some small veins, which may be only one deposit. However, during prospecting, no one can guarantee that the results of their exploration must be correct. In addition, mining itself has a certain speculative nature, and there will always be some people who bet their "future" on a big ass deposit. superior.

Mr. Hendry's eyes softened a little. He looked around, and the caddies moved away with great interest, leaving only these few big shots. The dignitaries also surrounded Hendry. His eyes stayed on the faces of these people for a moment, and then he lowered his voice and said softly: "I plan to sell the No. 3 mine to Dulin. Dulin, you know This person?"

Du Lin, many people in the Western Mining Association have never seen him, but almost everyone has heard of this name, thinking that the committee members of the Western Mining Association have asked all members to prohibit transactions with Du Lin. The reason for this ban is nothing more than that Durin killed Andorra as soon as he arrived in the west, seized his mining area, and did not give any answer in person, and did not pay attention to the people here at all. Secondly, after Du Lin got the mine in Andorra, he didn't report to the Western Mining Association in person, nor did he mention the matter of joining the Western Mining Association.

You must know that the Western Mine Association seems to be a loose organization similar to the mine owner's salon, but in fact this organization has a great say in the mineral resources in the west. There will be such an organization in any industry. They represent The interests of the majority of people, and provide services for them, and then use their influence to price the goods in the industry, to put it simply, the West Mining Association is similar to an industry trade union, and at the same time has the ability to monopolize the industry.

How many mines are produced each year, who to sell them to, and what price to trade at, the Western Mining Association will give "guiding" suggestions.

Except for those big consortiums and big capitalists who produce and sell themselves, and the strength of the Western Mining Association is not as strong as them, so they let themselves go, most of the mine owners must join the Western Mining Association and conduct trade according to the rules of the Western Mining Association. It is an unspoken rule established in the west.

Du Lin broke these rules again and again, how could it be possible for Xikuang to continue to endure this person who slapped him in the face? If it weren't for the "Anti-Industry Manipulation Act" and the newly compiled "Anti-Monopoly Law" issued by the Empire last year, the Western Mining Association would let Du Lin understand what it means to have something that cannot be sold!
