Material Empire

The working group from the central government sealed off the Xujiawan Mine, and Xin Jinlong became a prisoner!

The news spread throughout Xinshan County and the surrounding counties in an instant, as if it had grown wings. What kind of person Xin Jinlong is, the mine owners in the rare earth industry are very clear. This person is rich on the one hand, and powerful on the other. He seems to be the leader of the entire rare earth industry. Even the leaders should be polite and respectful when they see him.

But just such a person was taken down within a day, how can this not make people feel surprised.

When they first heard the news, many people still didn't believe it, and those who were interested even went to Xujiawan to inquire. It doesn't matter if you don't inquire, but if you inquire, the news you get is even more shocking. It turned out that such a thrilling battle took place outside the gate of the Xujiawan Rare Earth Mine. The armed police of two squadrons, loaded with live ammunition, took Xin Jinlong down on the spot. The miners who were present at the time even described vividly that beside the central leader known as the Chief Qin, there were two masters suspected of being Ouchi guards, who knocked down more than 200 people with bare hands...

There are more than 200 people in your mine? asked the person who heard the story.

At least 20 people were overthrown. The storyteller reduced the number of people by ten times without blinking.

Whether it's more than 200 people or more than 20 people, at least it can prove that Team Leader Qin has experts by his side. Those who can lead a master to go out obviously have a great background. The imaginative people of Johor Bahru immediately deduced several versions of the story. The most outrageous but seemingly most reliable one is that Qin Hai may be the grandson of the old chief of the early Ming Dynasty. As for why the surname is Qin and not Ji , naturally the old head is out of low-key considerations, isn't this a common thing among the older generation?

With Qin Hai's infinite fear, all the mine owners began to think about packing up and running. The people do not fight against the government. This is an old saying. In recent years, the government has focused on making money and indulged the mine owners in every possible way. It has made everyone forget what the state machine is all about. Xin Jinlong tried his best and set an example for everyone. Those small mine owners who felt that their backs were not as tough as Xin Jinlong, who would dare to make mistakes?

Before the mine owners could make up their mind to escape, another notice from the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources was sent to them. The notice stated that the Central Rare Earth Work Leading Group will hold a conference on rare earth governance in the county party committee auditorium, requiring all mine owners involved in rare earth mining and operation to attend on time. The wording on the notice is not very strong, but at this time, no one dares to treat this notice as waste paper.

It can't be a Hongmen banquet, right? When the time comes, close the door of the auditorium and arrest us all... Some timid mine owners communicated in private.

Isn't it? We didn't break the law. This is the optimist watching the battle.

Where did Xin Jinlong break the law, hasn't he already been arrested?

He ordered his subordinates to attack the central leadership, which was a major crime of beheading in ancient times. You didn't watch it in the TV series, it's called murdering imperial envoys...

But it's illegal for us to open mines in private?

I heard from people in the county that the policy above is to let the past go, that is, to ignore the past, and just be honest and obedient in the future. Didn't you see that Xin Jinlong was arrested, and his house and car are still there? Yes Now, someone saw Xin Jinlong's wife delivering food to the prison, and she was still wearing the gold ring.

I see...then it seems to be all right.

Qin Hai did not touch the property of Xin Jinlong's family, which reassured the other mine owners. If the money earned in the past can still be kept, and the mining is not allowed in the future, at least he will still be a rich man. How else can you say that they are the leaders of the central government, and they are reasonable in doing things. In this way, there may be really no risk in going to the county town for a meeting.

With trepidation, more than 200 mine owners came to the auditorium of the county party committee at the appointed time. Different from the past, this time, all the mine owners did not drive their luxury cars into the county party committee compound. Some of them came to the edge of the county seat by car, and then got out of the car to walk to the county party committee; Baba, more like a poor man than a poor man.

The county magistrate Jia Xiaodong personally presided over the Rare Earth Resources Consolidation and Governance Conference. After seeing Qin Hai's powerful energy, Jia Xiaodong gave up his original intention of arguing with Qin Hai and decided to fully cooperate with Qin Hai's work. The rectification of rare earths will have an impact on the economy of Xinshan County, but Jia Xiaodong can no longer take care of these. Folk rumors say that Qin Hai is the grandson of Ji Mingchu, and that Jia Xiaodong would rather believe in what he has than what he does not have. Even if he likes GDP, he would not dare to use his official hat to fight against the founder of the country like Ji Mingchu.

Since last year, the production and sales of rare earths in our county have come out of the shadow of recession, production has rebounded, and foreign exchange earnings from exports have also improved significantly. From the perspective of development trends, the rare earth industry in our county is in a strong position in the international market. status, the prospect of rare earth in our county is bright.

However, it is undeniable that under the favorable situation of rare earth production, some people are greedy for profit, disregarding the repeated orders of the state and the provincial rare earth office, and exploit rare earth without permission, causing serious losses to the country's rare earth resources and seriously disrupting the development of the country. The market order has destroyed the good situation of Xinshan County's reform and opening up...

The central government attaches great importance to the production of rare earths in Xinshan County, and specially sent Comrade Qin Hai, the deputy leader of the National Leading Group for the Development and Utilization of Rare Earths, to our county to inspect and guide the work. Under the careful deployment and personal command of team leader Qin Hai, we smashed the private rare earth mining criminal gang headed by Xin Jinlong, shut down the illegally mined Xujiawan rare earth mine, and arrested Xin Jinlong and Li Chuanping who violently resisted the law. Five criminals...

Jia Xiaodong stood on the stage, holding a speech and giving a long report. The mine owners below didn't dare to show their atmosphere, and they secretly glanced at Qin Hai who was sitting next to Jia Xiaodong, guessing in their hearts what Qin Hai was about to say. For everyone, the closure of the mine was an expected result. If Qin Hai's request was nothing more than that, everyone should celebrate. What everyone is worried about now is whether Qin Hai will have a more ruthless killing move waiting for them, trying to cut off a piece of flesh from them.

Jia Xiaodong finally finished speaking. He fully demonstrated the county's support for the rectification of rare earths, raised Qin Hai's status to the highest level, and then handed the microphone in front of Qin Hai.

Everyone, friends, hello...

When Qin Hai opened his mouth, everyone was slightly taken aback. What, the leaders of the central government called us entrepreneurs and friends? What is rhythm. Shouldn't we be the unscrupulous mine owners criticized by some media? With our identities, how can we be qualified to be friends with the central leadership?

I would like to correct the situation that County Magistrate Jia introduced just now. Our working group went to the Xujiawan Rare Earth Mine. It was not intended to destroy any criminal gang. Mr. Xin Jinlong violated the notification requirements of the Provincial Rare Earth Office and refused to close it. Rare earth mining sites, this is a violation of regulations, but it is far from a crime. The main reason why Xin Jinlong was detained was that he gathered a crowd to besiege our working group, and all this was because he mistakenly believed that our working group was obstructing He makes money. Let me make an irresponsible guess here, I am afraid that most of you here also think that our working group came to Xinshan County to hinder everyone from making money, right?

Having said that, he stopped, smiled and looked at the mine owners below, leaving time for everyone to discuss.

What does Team Leader Qin mean?

He seemed to be saying that Xin Jinlong mistakenly believed that the working group was to hinder him from making money... In other words, the working group was not actually there to hinder him from making money.

How is this possible? Doesn't closing our mine prevent us from making money?

There are two mouths under the official word, who knows what he wants to say...

Of course, Qin Hai couldn't hear the discussions in the audience, but from the expressions on the faces of the people, he could see that these people didn't believe him, and they just didn't dare to speak out out of fear. He raised his hand and gestured to the slide projector on the side. The projectionist turned on the slide projector, and a picture immediately appeared on the curtain behind the rostrum.

Before introducing the work content of our working group, I would like to talk to you about rare earth mining. Look at the photos we took at several rare earth mining sites in Johor Bahru not long ago. Such a scene should be familiar to everyone, right? Qin Hai pointed to the picture and said to everyone.

The scene in the photo is naturally not unfamiliar to everyone. However, once the usual scene is photographed and projected on the screen with a slide projector, the visual impact is very strong. I saw that on the mountains where the ore was mined, the vegetation had long since disappeared, replaced by patches of reddish-brown bare soil. At a glance, it looks like a piece of scar, engraved on the beautiful land of the south of the Yangtze River.

The scattered and outdated mining technology, coupled with the crude rare earth extraction process, has caused immeasurable damage to the natural environment of our Xinshan County. We are all from Xinshan County. Xinshan is our hometown and our descendants The place where we live, are we willing to destroy our homeland with our own hands like this?

Qin Hai directed the projectionist to play the slides, while narrating passionately.

There was silence in the venue, and everyone was shocked by the scene on the curtain. They suddenly felt that the money they earned came from such unbearable sources. No wonder the central government and the province have repeatedly asked for the rectification of small-scale mining sites. It seems that such a request is not excessive.

However, without mining, how can there be money to be made? After seeing a lot of banknotes, let them go to the fields with hoes to plan food, how can they continue to do it?
