1877 (the third year of Guangxu), Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty, appointed Tang, the general office of China Merchants Bureau, to set up Kaiping Mining Bureau, which was run by both officials and supervisors, with a capital of 1.2 million yuan. 1900 was occupied by Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Mining Bureau was transferred to the British Chamber of Commerce and renamed Kaiping Mining Company. It is registered in Hong Kong and protected by Britain. As a result, the mining right disappeared and became an enterprise run by British businessmen. The highest annual output has reached 6.5438+0.36 million tons.

1906, the governor of Zhili, Tianjin Guanyinhao, organized Luanzhou Coal Mine Company with the purpose of "Luankai". In the following year, Zhou was appointed as the general manager of the company with a capital of 5 million taels. In the meantime, the two mines cut prices for sales, resulting in huge losses for both sides. So, in 19 12, they agreed to operate together, signed a contract and established Kailuan Mining Bureau, which is the origin of Kailuan Mining Bureau. According to the contract, the two companies are still the main body, limited to joint promotion of products. Ten years later, Luanzhou Company has the right to buy back Kaiping Company at the agreed value. Later, the Beiyang government did not take back Kaiping Company according to the contract, and the two companies formally merged on 1934, which led to the monopoly of Kailuan Mining Bureau by British businessmen.

194/kloc-0 was taken away by Japan after the Pacific War broke out in.

1942 output reached 6.65 million tons. 1945 After Japan surrendered, it was taken over by the Kuomintang government and returned to British businessmen for management.
