Chapter 20 seems like a completely different person.
In addition, he had just inspected most of the facilities in the mine.
Because the mine wasn't very profitable before, Wang Jianguo reduced his later investments after developing it, seeing that the output was low.
Zhang Dong had already noticed that the mine's ventilation system was quite old. If a rich mineral deposit were discovered, his second uncle, being just an electrician, would be overwhelmed.
Zhang Dong instructed Zhang Guangfei in this way because he had experience from his previous life.
But Zhang Guangfei wanted to save money for his nephew.
"Second Uncle, just do as I say. You really can't handle this electrician job by yourself. If our mine is about to start operations, the first thing we need to do is replace all the light bulbs."
"And I just saw that the ventilation system in this mine is already dilapidated and will have to be replaced with a new one."
"If we discover more mineral resources, we'll develop new mines. Do you really think you, as the only electrician, can handle all that?"
“I can pay you two or three salaries, but you can’t delay my business.”
Upon hearing his nephew say these words with a serious expression, Zhang Guangfei immediately shut his mouth.
He then realized that his nephew was now the boss, and he had to listen to his nephew's arrangements.
What Zhang Dong said is indeed true; the most important thing in mining is the ventilation system.
Of course, it was 95, and the safety facilities in the mines were not yet very complete.
Later mines were supported by six major systems.
One of these is the monitoring and control system, which monitors downhole environmental parameters in real time, such as the content of gases like CO and NO2, to ensure safe production.
As a reborn individual, Zhang Dong knew that mines in later generations still had "personnel positioning systems." These systems could accurately track and locate personnel and equipment underground, helping to improve emergency response speed.
The third is the "emergency refuge system," which can provide a safe refuge for underground workers in emergency situations, ensuring their safety.
The fourth system, the compressed air self-rescue system, can ensure people's breathing needs by supplying compressed air during a disaster.
The fifth system, the water supply rescue system, can provide clean drinking water in emergencies.
The sixth is the communication system, which ensures smooth communication between the surface and underground, facilitating command and coordination.
Putting aside everything else, in this day and age, communication systems are not yet widespread, and people can only rely on the most primitive method—shouting and yelling.
Right now, the most important thing is to replace the ventilation system so that the mine shafts below don't run out of oxygen. This is a big deal and can't be taken lightly.
Seeing that Zhang Dong had made arrangements in an orderly manner, Zhang Guangming nodded frequently from behind.
He was initially worried that even if they had the mines, they wouldn't be able to manage them.
Seeing his son's arrangement, he couldn't help but smile happily.
As he was laughing, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his arm. He looked up and saw it was his brother.
"What's wrong, Guangfei?"
"Brother, you've raised a fine son," Zhang Guangfei couldn't help but praise.
"Yeah, brother, I also feel that Zhang Dong is like a different person. He's never worked in a mine before, so how come he can arrange these things?"
The two old brothers followed behind, chatting as they walked into Zhang Dong's house, their hearts filled with doubt.
After leading everyone to conduct a general inspection of the equipment and facilities inside, Zhang Dong immediately made the following arrangements.
"Let's all work together to replace these lighting fixtures in the mine."
These wouldn't cost much, but as for purchasing a new ventilation system, a huge problem soon presented itself: he had no money.
In the end, Zhang Dong also looked helpless.
"How about we just use these old, dilapidated ventilation systems, mine some minerals first, and then upgrade the equipment gradually after we sell them?" Zhang Dong said helplessly.
At this moment, Li Cheng suddenly made a suggestion.
"Dongzi, I have an idea. We classmates are a bit uneasy about taking your shares."
"How about the three of us each contribute some money as initial investment?"
Zhang Dong was very supportive of Li Cheng's suggestion.
Wu Jun, who was standing next to him, disagreed, but he didn't say it outright.
His idea was that he originally started this mine with Zhang Dong to make money, but now that they hadn't made any money yet, he was taking money out of his own pocket.
But then Sun Bin also expressed his agreement: "I agree with Li Cheng's idea."
Of the three classmates, two had already agreed, so Wu Jun couldn't say anything more. Although he was unhappy, he eventually agreed as well.
Zhang Dong was very pleased with Li Cheng's suggestion, after all, he had taken over a messy mine and now needed money everywhere to start operations.
As the boss, he yelled at everyone to reach out and ask him for money.
In addition, once operations begin, these miners will certainly not be able to go home every night and will have to live at the mine.
They'll need to set up tents and hire cooks to prepare meals for them, and all of that will cost money.
"Li Cheng, thank you for saving my life."
Li Cheng waved his hand: "Zhang Dong, we are brothers and classmates. You pulled us into starting a business together. We have just taken a general look around, but we can't help much. We can only take out some money to help the mine in its time of need."
"Of course, our family is not wealthy, and we may not be able to contribute much money, but this is just a small token of our appreciation."
"At that time, we will also take the lead in mining, because you can only give us dividends if you make a lot of money."
"Haha, Li Cheng, if that's how you see it, then I really made the right choice by bringing you along to start a business."
After inspecting the mine, Zhang Dong led Da Niu and the others directly back home.
Soon, he started to have a headache.
So many people want to live in their own homes, yet they don't even have a place to stay.
Seeing Zhang Dong's predicament, Da Niu burst into laughter.
"Boss, there's no trouble at all. After we have dinner at your place, we'll each take our bedding and head straight to the mine."
"What? You're going to rest here?"
Da Niu nodded: "What, is that not allowed? We're here to mine, we can just find a place, a mine cave, to sleep in."
"Besides, if we sleep at the mine, it will also prevent that bastard Wang Jianguo from sending people to sabotage us."
Zhang Dong nodded repeatedly at Da Niu's words, feeling that Da Niu made a lot of sense.
If Zhang Dong hadn't thought this way before, then after the Big Donkey incident, he really had to be wary.
