Chapter 374 Donbas Coalfield
The Donbas Coal Field is located in Donetsk City. It has the largest reserves in Ukraine and the longest-term state-owned coal mine.
But unlike China, it is not only one mine, but is formed by large and small mines according to the terrain of the Donbass region.
The smallest annual output is only 200,000 tons, and the largest annual output can reach 9.59 million tons, which accounts for almost 15% of the coal mining reserves in Ukraine!
Of course, Zhong Bai's goal is not to launch the first batch of 500 dwx35-180/100x hydraulic pillars into the mine with the largest annual output, because the possibility of success is slim.
Just like the same as the unified management of the economy, the process of purchasing new equipment/accessories by large mining companies is not an ordinary cumbersome, the time is long and the process is cumbersome. You can think of it as a bureaucrat, but in a sense, it is also necessary.
After all, there are many workers and large output, which is related to all aspects of the interests. New products are especially new products related to safe production. If any large mine is replaced, it will be handled with an extremely cautious attitude.
Yu Dongfeng and Wu Xiaoping quickly obtained more than 20 mining materials in the Donbas Coal Mine through investigation, and sorted them into a document and handed them over to Zhong Bai.
Zhong Bai has not been idle these two days. Taking advantage of Yu Dongfeng and the others' investigation, he and Jiang Xinpeng went to the Donetsk Library to borrow local geographical and hydrological materials from the Donbas Coal Mine, and carefully studied and pondered it.
In order to efficiently find the next home of this batch of dwx35-180/100x hydraulic pillars, Zhong Bai directly deleted the five largest and highest-yield underground coal mines from the alternative list. Even if the entire team goes to lobby every day, it is just a waste of time.
Because the old director of Udir Factory Ivan was too enthusiastic and the first batch of products had been produced, Zhong Bai was really embarrassed to disturb the other party, so he moved out of the factory guesthouse. The group came to the vicinity of some mines in Shinan District and found a local small hotel to stay in.
Here we have to mention the concept of Donbas coal mine. Its full name should actually be called Ukrainian Carboniferous Coalfield, abbreviated as Donbas (Дон6асс).
This coalfield is located in the eastern part of the Ukrainian Republic, extending eastward from Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture, through Donetsk Prefecture, Kharkov Prefecture, Voroshilovgrad Prefecture, and to Rostov Prefecture of the Russian Federation. It is 650km long from east to west, 70 to 170km wide from north to south, and an area of about 60,000 square kilometers. It is the largest coalfield in Ukraine and the oldest coal mining history.
Since the coal field is located in the industrial center of western Suzhou, the coking coal reserves are relatively abundant, the degree of development is very high, and the total coal output, anthracite and coking coal output have always ranked first in the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the Donbas coalfield is actually a very broad range, and it is not as imagined as some large coal mines in China, limited to a certain city.
Its overall shape is projected from the map, like a long biscuit placed horizontally, and Donetsk City is on the right side of the biscuit.
The area selected by Zhong Bai is the lower right corner of the Donbas Coal Mine, which is close to the city of Donetsk. The mines here are not large in scale, with a total of four small and medium-sized underground mines.
Obviously, Zhong Bai’s purpose is to find one of these four small and medium-sized underground mines as the recipient of the purchase of dwx35-180/100x hydraulic support.
Brown brought the steaming coffee and handed it to Zhong Bai, who was still reading materials on the table with his head down, and said with a smile: "Why are you Chinese so desperate to work? Zhong, I think you have been studying it for three hours and haven't moved your butt. At least you have to take a break, have a cup of coffee?"
Zhong Bai took the coffee and looked up and said, "Time doesn't wait for anyone. For every extra day we live here, we have to bear an extra cost of 300 rubles. These costs can be reduced through our efforts to shorten the time. By the way, our country is not as rich as you France, and the concept of working hours is not as free and casual as you French."
This is of course Zhong Bai's casual complaint, but looking at the whole of Europe, I'm afraid that in addition to the romantic and enthusiastic Italians, the French have the shortest average working hours. Of course, this is also related to their huge workers' movements. Workers always like to use strikes to demonstrate to the investors in order to maximize the welfare of the hired people.
Brown didn't care about Zhong Bai's complaints. Anyway, the French liked the most was self-complaints. He nodded and said, "We have studied these materials together for a long time yesterday. Even if the goal can only be set in these four small and medium-sized underground mines at present, wouldn't we just go to the door to negotiate with them one by one?"
Zhong Bai shook his head and thought to himself that he wanted to explain that research and sales are completely different from the Frenchman who is engaged in technology. It is really an extremely difficult thing. He could only say helplessly: "Every country's environment is different. Brown, you have to be clear that the mines in Ukraine are state-owned or collectively owned, similar to the situation in China, but they are completely different from your private mines in France. If we try one by one, as long as the first one is rejected, then this news will soon spread among them, and the subsequent work will only be more difficult, so we can only choose a good one and strive to achieve success with full preparation!"
This logical explanation is obviously not something the French want to hear. In fact, except for being able to patiently listen to Zhong Bai's various opinions on technical and professional issues, he always thinks about the problem and it is said that it is said one by one, so after these words, Brown shut up obediently.
Ricky was a little more rational. He understood what Zhong Bai meant and put forward some of his constructive views: "Then, Zhong, we should send a few people to several mines to actually understand the situation. Even if we don't communicate with them, we can obtain richer and more effective information..."
Zhong Bai obviously felt that the thinking of the two Frenchmen was not on the same plane as him, so he could only shrug helplessly and said, "I can only say that you don't know much about countries like the Soviet Union and China, which are very collectivist. We don't have many trump cards in our hands now. In order to ensure that we sell these things at one time, we can only do this with the most cautious attitude, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what's going on?" Wu Xiaoping, who was standing beside him, grabbed a piece of Lieba and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked.
Zhong Bai's expression became serious: "Otherwise... we will smash all of these 500 dwx35-180/100x hydraulic pillars for gifts. In the future, there will be no Ukrainian mine to buy it. Not only Donetsk, but even in other cities and other states!"
