Chapter 38 This is Boss Wang's mine
Upon hearing what Captain Li of the joint inspection team said, Wang Jianguo turned around and gave Zhang Dong a cold look.
"Competitors are enemies. What you learn in our mines isn't something you can just copy."
Seeing the other person's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Zhang Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What's the big deal? It's not a secret. As long as you focus on investment, there shouldn't be any problems with safe production underground."
"The problem is that some people might feel guilty and, even if they have the money, are unwilling to invest in safe production underground. That would be a big problem..."
"Zhang Dong, that's enough. Don't think that just because you're making veiled accusations, I don't know you're attacking me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong deliberately feigned surprise.
"What, you're saying I'm making veiled accusations? I didn't mean that at all. After all, Boss Wang is a role model in mining, the number one in our Woniu Village in this regard..."
Zhang Dong is right about this. After Wang Jianguo seized the opportunity for development, he immediately developed the surrounding mines and quickly made a lot of money.
Even though he made money, he was reluctant to invest in safety equipment for underground production.
Zhang Dong did say that on purpose, but how could he admit it?
Moreover, this happened in front of members of the joint inspection team.
He realized that Wang Jianguo was trying to stop him from going down to join the inspection, and he figured the other members of the joint inspection team probably wouldn't agree either.
After all, if they were to kick him out directly, it would mean that there were serious problems with Wang Jianguo's mine.
The members of the joint inspection team will soon understand this.
Sure enough, the fat man pondered and said, "Boss Wang, just now at Boss Zhang's mine, a group of villagers gathered and said that we are biased."
"Next, we'll go down into your mine to take a look. To prove that we're not biased and aren't targeting anyone, we'll have Zhang Dong come down with us to learn. After all, it's not some top secret."
Upon hearing Captain Li's words, Wang Jianguo's cheeks twitched with anger.
But since Captain Li had already said that, he really couldn't say anything more.
He simply gave Zhang Dong a cold, murderous look.
"Alright, since Captain Li has said so, let him go down and take a look."
Captain Li also looked helpless. He had just realized that Zhang Dong was very clever.
Before they arrived, the villagers hadn't come to the mine yet, but after they came up from underground, the villagers surrounded them. What does that mean?
The matter is self-evident.
The eyes of the masses are discerning; this is certainly true.
That's why he finally agreed to Zhang Dong's request.
Of course, Captain Li also knew that even if they went down into Wang Jianguo's mine, their joint inspection team wouldn't do anything to it.
After all, they were old acquaintances, and Wang Jianguo was very generous to them.
"Damn, this is Boss Wang's mine? I thought it would be high-class, but it's such a disappointment."
After leaving the mine, before the inspection team members could even speak, Zhang Dong was already expressing his feelings.
This made Wang Jianguo, who was standing next to him, wish he could tear him to pieces with his own hands.
That bastard is just trying to embarrass me; how could Wang Jianguo not understand that?
But he didn't dare do anything in front of the joint inspection team.
"Oh dear, it's like a thick fog! Mr. Zhang, what's going on down in your mine? The visibility is so low! What about your cleaning system?"
Looking at Wang Jianguo walking beside him, his face was as gloomy as black coal.
"Oh dear, leaders, can you smell this? It smells so strong down there, it's pungent. Making the miners work in this condition is very harmful to their health."
As he said this, Zhang Dong noticed that the members of the inspection team were also covering their noses.
Clearly, they also smelled the unpleasant odor.
What does this indicate? It indicates that the ventilation system in Wang Jianguo's mine is not working, and ventilation is poor.
As mining operations progress, some unpleasant odors cannot dissipate effectively and accumulate inside the mines, leading to this situation.
Wang Jianguo, who was standing to the side, heard Zhang Dong making up stories about himself in front of the inspection team.
He couldn't help but tremble with anger.
But all he could do now was tremble all over.
If it weren't for the inspection team following him, he would have really wanted one of his men to knock Zhang Dong unconscious with a stick and bury him alive in the mine.
"Leaders of the inspection team, look here, this place is a corner of a mine shaft, and it should be supported by a sturdy steel frame."
"But look, this place is empty. As the mine is developed, it will definitely generate a strong torque, which may cause safety accidents at any time."
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, all members of the inspection team fell silent.
If people say that at first, they pretend not to hear it and treat it as if it were just passing by.
But the other party has already pointed out so many flaws, and they themselves feel they can't keep up the act of pretending to be stupid any longer.
"Damn it, why is it like this here too? I'm telling you, leaders, this is a serious problem. This is a huge lack of attention to safety in the mine. If something goes wrong here, it will be no small matter."
"Furthermore, we just looked around, and if something happens here, there's no self-rescue system or supply line underground in this mine. They don't even have basic food and water. How can that be acceptable?"
"To put it bluntly, if an accident happens, these miners underground will simply starve to death, without ever seeing a rescue team arrive..."
"Zhang Dong, what the hell are you spouting? Shut the hell up—"
Wang Jianguo, standing to the side, was so enraged that his body seemed about to explode.
This Zhang Dong, ever since he entered his mine, has been constantly finding fault.
Meanwhile, Wang Jianguo's two lackeys, Li San and Zhao Dazhuang, also rushed towards Zhang Dong with murderous intent.
But then, a furious roar rang out: "Stop! What are you doing?"
The one who shouted was none other than Captain Li.
He knew exactly what kind of person Wang Jianguo was.
In his rage, he seemed determined to kill Zhang Dong, even in front of the inspection team. But this only made things more complicated.
After all, Zhang Dong was the guide who led them here. If he disappeared without a trace, there were so many villagers who witnessed it.
It doesn't matter if it's not in front of them; after all, what temple doesn't have ghosts who died unjustly?
But if this were exposed in front of them, none of these public officials would be able to keep their jobs.
