"Mine manager, a stone is too hard; it broke our mining equipment," a worker reported as he ran over, holding a stone in his hand. This place was semi-mechanized for coal mining.
Jiang Shaoqing had introduced advanced foreign equipment to maximize coal production and to reduce the burden on the workers.
The mine manager felt embarrassed.
They often encountered such minor issues; there was no need for alarm now.
"No worries, Manager Jiang, this happens all the time. I'll take you out first, and the workers can deal with the rest. They're experienced with these kinds of things," said Huang Zhi, waving his hand dismissively, and then he gestured for the stone the worker had rushed over with.
The mine manager quickly called out, "Xiaowo, come here and bring that stone you have!"
Experts always seemed to be fascinated by these stones.
