“选准一个矿长,救活一个企业”。煤炭部和内蒙古煤管局有关领导在1996年初视察宝矿时是这样评价现任党委书记、矿长郑新忠同志的。 1994年5月末,这个矿已累计超亏近两千万元,职工工资曾拖欠七个月之久。面对极度混乱的管理状态,有人牢骚满腹。甚至对这个投产不足10年的矿井悲观失望了。 “Choose a mine manager, save a business.” The leaders of the coal ministry and Inner Mongolia Coal Administration Authority appraised the incumbent party secretary and the head of the coalition comrade Zheng Xinzhong when inspected the Bao Mine in early 1996. At the end of May 1994, the mine had accumulated a deficit of nearly 20 million yuan and its staff wages had been in arrears for seven months. In the face of extremely chaotic management, some people complain. Even pessimistic about the mine that went into operation for less than 10 years.
