For the group of “coal owners”, everyone has his own views or envy or contempt. They were born in response to the times, and the “golden age” of the coal industry, which began in 2002, has rapidly built up enormous wealth, the region represented by shanxi. But wealth does not give them any good reputation, but rather gives them immense benefits. Times have changed, and coal prices have weakened significantly since 2008, while the conversion of shanxi coal has begun, leading many coal owners to fade out of the stage. Recently, through our in-depth study, we have been hoping to show you the story behind the history of the coal industry。
Luxury and lack of taste are the impression they have given to most of the world over the past decade。
Before 2001, they were not as good as coal miners. Most people need to borrow money to continue production the following year after they have paid workers ' wages. It was only in the era of soaring coal prices that they became known as “coal owners”. They were somewhat overwhelmed by the rapid accumulation of enormous wealth. News such as clothing stores and group cars have made this brand very special and are increasingly known throughout the country。
The reform of the shanxi coal industry led to their transformation from owners to small shareholders in 2009 or their complete withdrawal from the industry. In 2012, the luxury of “70 million brides” had been the end of the group's brilliance。
In shanxi jin city, the largest coal producer in shanxi province, the coal owner has been missing for five years. There are few coal owners left in shanxi。
Those who used to fill their ears after tea and represent the richest people in shanxi are now the leading journalists who have been taken away for corruption by officials. The last people left behind in this group seem to be finally starting with a less glorious ending。
The rise and fall of shanxi coal owners coincided perfectly with the price rise and fall of chinese coal for more than a decade。
This was witnessed by the contracting of a dozen orchards in shanxi jincheng。
From lower coal kilns to “coal age compensation”/
In 1992, he was 26 years old. He was working in a coal kiln in the village, digging coal with shovels and shovels. The mines are damp, dark, space-grabbing and have no mechanical facilities. Every shovel goes down, and it's made for life: he didn't know when it would collapse or whether it would explode。
He borrowed some money and invested all his income in the years, bought a large “liberation” and started carrying coal outside the province. The job ended in a car accident in 1997 and he spent six months at home. At that time, a coal mine had been contracted around to earn money. His mine, which had once been in the village, had been replaced by four contractors, each of which had been completed at a loss。
The village chief was anxious to get rid of the mine. He tin long did not know how coal prices would change. He sold his car and signed a contract with the village. Investing in simple equipment, paying $120,000 a year to the village, the rest to myself。
In 1998, he had the right to run his first coal mine. At that time, coal prices exceeded $100 per ton, which was already several times higher than in previous years. At the end of 2001, the shanxi provincial government issued a circular to shut down all coal mines throughout the province for reasons of production safety. Horot has just recovered from the coal mine and is in a state of shutdown. Achieving production standards will require millions of investments. He has reinvested all the money he had just earned and all the money he could borrow from his family and friends, together with the loan loan。
Coal prices in 2001 were less than $200 per ton. At that time, he was seen as a “coal miner”; in his own eyes, he counted at most one “coal pays”. A lucky contractor, who can guarantee that the coal mine will remain intact, will have tens of thousands of dollars left in the year, in addition to the money paid to the village and the wages paid to the workers. Most people like him don't earn money。
He did not know that the coal industry would soon be brilliant, that it would change in the future, and that people would call him with an envious suffix — the coal owner。
The golden age of coal boss/
In 2002, the rehabilitation of coal mines in shanxi province largely ended, and a large number of individuals took the opportunity to enter the mine for contracting。
At the same time, thousands of unearthed and unsafe small coal kilns were shut down throughout the province. Hor tinyu's coal mine passed by surprise, and he didn't expect his day to come。
All he remembered was that one day when he woke up and opened his eyes, he found people everywhere to buy coal. In order to ensure the availability of goods, the coal buyer would even deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars of coal in his hands ahead of time。
During this period, coal is priced as a rocket, rising upwards from $200 to over $1,000。
Coal prices more than doubled in 2003 than in 2002, and have exceeded $300 per ton. For the first time, 37-year-old horot became a millionaire. He was no longer seen as a “coal miner”, but when others talked about the group he represented, he began to use a slightly enviable suffix — the coal owner。
In 2005, shanxi introduced a “resource-required, clear property rights” reform programme to enable individuals to legally own coal mines when a mine meets the criteria for safe production, and when a sexual intercourse is sufficient to assess the resource price of reserves. He tianlong withdrew from the original mine, at a cost of $20 million, and received 80 per cent of the share in a larger mine。
At that time, no one thought coal prices would fall. A large number of foreign traders have invested huge sums of money in the coal industry in shanxi, while the coal owners who have already earned money around he tianlong continue to invest in the acquisition of coal mines, regardless of the amount of reserves in the mines and the value of the loan. In his view, the coal owners at the time bought coal mines as if people were now buying iphone6 so they could make money。
He tiny lung thinks he has no ambition, but one coal mine is enough. The limo, the villa, the vertu phone, the lv bag, he's got nothing left. Occasionally, he would be impressed by the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars would be spent every day sitting still. He did not know that his “without ambition” had saved his life several years later and allowed him to walk away。
Coal owners often appear in prominent places on major websites in a variety of ways. Group purchases of luxury cars, angry clothing stores, and millions of cash in sacks... They are branded as being only of this age。
In 2006, 40-year-old hortron became a billionaire. There's nothing left to do in the coal mine. All he had to do every day was to have a good relationship with officials in some departments and to have a good meal and a good time while at the same time ensuring that there were no accidents in the coal mine。
Year 2008. Coal prices have reached their peak for more than a decade, and good-quality carbon blocks have reached thousands per ton. The net profit per ton of coal in the coroner mine would reach $300. At 42, he went through the peak of his own money。
The government and business relationship that warms up
With coal prices, there is also a close relationship between horon and public officials。
At least four days a week, he had to eat and drink with them, and he could not remember when he had come so close to public servants。
