"Thank you, Dad." Hearing Lin Fugui's words, Lin Hao was overjoyed.
You should know that Zhang Dabiao is a retired special forces soldier with excellent Kung Fu.
For years, he has served as Lin Fugui's bodyguard and driver, and nothing has ever gone wrong.
In addition, he also brought 3 other bodyguards.
The people under Lin Fugui's command are all highly experienced, having gone through countless battles, big and small, over the years, and most of them were trained by Zhang Dabiao.
Now that his safety in South Korea is guaranteed, he feels much more at ease.
"Okay, it's getting late.
Call your Mom, and let's go to lunch together." Lin Fugui's words interrupted Lin Hao's thoughts.
It was indeed getting late.
Lin Hao had spent quite some time wandering around the school, and then he had been talking at the company for a while.
Lin Hao followed Lin Fugui out of the office and walked towards Zheng Wanrong's office.
When they passed the office area, which had been noisy, it instantly fell silent, with everyone working diligently.
Occasionally, a few curious glances were cast at Lin Hao, and after the two left, it instantly became noisy again.
"Was that the Boss's son just now?
He's so handsome."
"He is indeed handsome, and very tall.
I heard he studied abroad and just came back for the holidays."
"If only he could be my boyfriend."
"Stop daydreaming.
With the way you look, unless the Boss's son is blind."
"Are you trying to die?"
...
After Lin Fugui had the four selected people come out, the information that Lin Hao was Lin Fugui's son spread quickly.
Most of the people working in the Mining Company offices are women.
Some are either at the mine or out doing sales.
So, in no time, all sorts of information about Lin Hao spread through various channels.
In Zheng Wanrong's office, upon seeing Lin Hao, Zheng Wanrong immediately put down her work and happily asked Lin Hao,
"Why did you come to the company today?
You never wanted to come before."
Lin Hao said, "Last night, I asked Dad to find some people for me.
Dad found them this morning, so I came to take a look."
Zheng Wanrong: "Did you find them satisfactory?"
Lin Hao: "Of course.
Dad sent me the elites."
Zheng Wanrong: "As long as you're satisfied."
Lin Fugui: "It's lunchtime.
Let's eat first and chat later."
Hearing Lin Fugui's words, Zheng Wanrong realized it was already noon and quickly ended the conversation.
Lunch was in the building's cafeteria.
The family of three sat together.
The cafeteria was run by the building's property management, not the Mining Company, so there were people from the company and people from other companies.
The food was just average, but Lin Hao wasn't picky and ate with relish.
"Do you have anything planned for the afternoon?
If not, come to the mine with me."
While eating, Lin Fugui suddenly said this.
Mainly, Lin Hao's performance in the morning made Lin Fugui feel that he could let Lin Hao get some exposure to the family business.
After graduating and returning to China, he could be directly arranged into the company.
"Okay, I have nothing planned.
I've always wanted to see it." Lin Hao readily agreed.
He hadn't forgotten the mine disaster in his previous life that led to the decline of the Lin Family.
Now that he had been reborn, he certainly had to eliminate the danger in its infancy.
"You must be careful at the mine.
Just look around, don't go down into the coal mine." Zheng Wanrong said with a bit of worry.
"Don't worry, I'm here.
Nothing will happen." Lin Fugui said.
Hearing Lin Fugui's words, Zheng Wanrong thought for a moment and didn't say anything more.
With Lin Fugui there, nothing should go wrong.
Mines in those days weren't very safe.
Mine disasters were frequent, and equipment was relatively simple.
The Lin Family's mine was already considered the best, but it was only slightly safer compared to other mines.
After eating, Lin Hao and Lin Fugui got into the car and went to the Lin Family's mine.
The Lin Family currently owns 10 mines, big and small, some with high-quality ore and some average.
The one they arrived at now was the Lin Family's largest mine.
This mine contributed 80% of the Lin Family's assets, at one point boosting the Lin Family's assets to tens of billions, but it was also this coal mine that led the Lin Family into the abyss.
At its peak, this mine had thousands of people working there.
Coal mining is still mainly done by manual labor, with very few machines, even in 2023, manual labor still accounts for the majority.
At this moment, Lin Hao followed behind Lin Fugui.
Everyone they met on the way greeted Lin Fugui.
Looking at the crowded mine and the coal piled up like mountains, his heart felt a little excited and surging.
In his previous life, Lin Hao had never been to the mine once.
After returning from studying abroad, he stayed in Huaian for a few days before going to Beijing.
Initially, in Beijing, Lin Hao relied on his family's wealth and spent lavishly in Beijing.
Even when people mocked him as a nouveau riche, Lin Hao was disdainful, directly mocking them for being poor and envious of him, and even prided himself on being a Coal Boss and Coal Second Generations.
However, after getting to know some circles in Beijing, he found that he didn't quite fit in.
Later, he increasingly felt that the titles of Coal Boss and Coal Second Generations sounded a bit unpleasant and had a poor image, so he was even less willing to come to the mine to see it.
Thinking back now, he was truly ridiculous at the time.
He didn't value the very things that were the foundation of his family's livelihood, and he cared about other people's opinions and views.
How good it is to be a Coal Boss!
Countless people want to be one but can't, only having envy and jealousy.
"Dad, with so many workers at the mine, how do you guarantee safety, especially underground?" Lin Hao asked about the matter he was most concerned about.
Lin Fugui said, "The coal mine undergoes a safety inspection every month, and we also conduct safety awareness programs for everyone regularly."
Lin Hao asked in surprise, "That's it?"
"What do you mean, 'that's it'?
This is already the best.
A safety inspection requires the entire coal mine to be shut down for at least 3 days.
Look at other mines; getting one inspection every six months is good, and some don't even get one a year."
Lin Fugui's words directly reflected the current state of the coal industry, and it was even more brutal than he said.
Regulation is not strict now, and the internet is not as developed as it will be in the future, so information is limited.
Most coal mines basically don't do safety inspections.
If something happens, being able to pay compensation is considered good.
Some even just wrap the body in straw mats and bury it somewhere, simply reporting the person missing.
Those who can do a monthly inspection are very few.
The Lin Family has indeed done very well.
"Safety is no small matter.
A monthly inspection is too long of an interval.
I think, in addition to the monthly inspection, we should add a small weekly inspection.
It doesn't need to shut down operations, just inspect the key areas.
Once a month, there should be a major inspection.
Besides the inspection, we also need to conduct safety training for the workers.
Those days can be used for the shutdown."
Lin Fugui stared at Lin Hao blankly, not expecting Lin Hao to suddenly care about this.
"Dad, safety is no small matter.
If something really happens, it won't just be a matter of shutting down for a few days." Lin Hao looked at Lin Fugui seriously, his expression solemn.
Seeing Lin Hao so serious, Lin Fugui remembered that this was the first time Lin Hao had been like this.
"Alright, we'll do as you say.
Secretary Wang, arrange this matter."
Hearing Lin Fugui's words, Lin Hao smiled happily.
