Material Empire

Since Guo Shuqing dared to say that he would close the RX project forever, he naturally had some confidence. His confidence comes from outside public opinion, which he believes is the public opinion of Yiping City. From Guo Shuqing's point of view, Qin Hai may be able to find some help from the top leaders of the central government, but if the people in Yiping firmly oppose it, then even the central government will have to reconsider the feasibility of this project.

Qin Hai's reaction was naturally within Guo Shuqing's expectation. After listening to Qin Hai's negotiation, Guo Shuqing said in a calm tone:

Mr. Qin, you are quite right. Our government does things according to the law. However, as far as I know, Daqin Group is a company that pays great attention to social responsibility and pursues a high degree of unity of economic and social benefits. Regarding the feasibility of the Yiping RX project, both of us should have an in-depth discussion and reach some consensus, rather than simply follow the law to solve the problem, don’t you think so?”

Qin Hai was not in a hurry, he smiled coldly and asked, What kind of consensus does Secretary Guo hope to reach with us?

Guo Shuqing said: This consensus is to respect the wishes of the 2 million residents of Yiping and eliminate their worries about the existence of an RX project around them.

Qin Haidao: This is strange. Our RX project did not start construction today. Our project had already started a few years ago, and it has passed through the departments of environmental protection, fire protection, planning, and land in Yiping City. The review did not violate any regulations, so where did Secretary Guo’s concern come from?”

Guo Shuqing smiled and said: Mr. Qin, this problem is called the passage of time. Indeed, there was no problem when the Yiping RX project was reviewed. Comrades from the Development and Reform Commission have already explained this to the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. But Just because there were no problems then doesn't mean there are no problems now.

At that time, our government and residents had relatively weak awareness of environmental protection, and there was a GDP-only thinking. In recent years, everyone's awareness of environmental protection has begun to increase, and they realize that the environment and safety cannot be sacrificed for the sake of GDP. That's why the protests like the previous days happened. This incident fully proves that the residents of Yiping do not welcome this project. As Yiping officials, we must respect the residents' choice.

Qin Haidao: Secretary Guo, I'm afraid this is not the choice of Yiping residents, but the choice of some leading cadres in Yiping, right? According to our understanding, the reason why a small number of people rallied against the Yiping RX project was mainly because they believed some rumors , doubted the safety of the RX project. As a first-level government department, the Yiping Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government did not vigorously refute the rumors, but used these rumors to build momentum for themselves and use the RX project. This is the crux of the problem. Liu Minister, you are the Minister of Propaganda in Yiping, I would like to ask you, have the various media in Yiping clarified these rumors in a targeted manner in these days?

Rumors? Liu Zhengfang looked at Guo Shuqing, then at Qin Hai, and asked, President Qin, what are you talking about as rumors?

About the danger of the RX project, isn't it a rumor? Qin Hai pretended to be surprised, looking at Liu Zhengfang and asked.

How could this be a rumor? It was said by an expert from the Blue Sky Organization. Liu Zhengfang retorted confidently.

Qin Hai smiled. He turned to Guo Shuqing and asked, Secretary Guo, do you agree with Minister Liu's logic?

From Guo Shuqing's point of view, he actually agrees with Liu Zhengfang's conclusion. The experts sent by such a well-known international organization as Blue Sky are of course very good. How can what they say be rumors? But Guo Shuqing was a person who worked in the political research office after all, so he was extremely politically sensitive. In any case, the Blue Sky Organization is only an NGO after all, and it is also an NGO from the West. The propaganda department of the first-level party committee regards the arguments of such an organization as the truth, and he absolutely dare not say such a thing. Only people like Liu Zhengfang who have no roots in their brains will make such low-level mistakes.

Minister Liu's words are indeed not rigorous enough. Guo Shuqing replied, However, the Blue Sky Organization is very famous in the world, so the experts they send should still have some credibility? I think Mr. You should have heard about the Color Sky organization, they are engaged in public welfare activities, and they don't have any interest demands, so how could they deliberately spread rumors?

Qin Hai smiled and said: It turns out that Secretary Guo also has the same opinion, so it's no wonder that Yiping City has made such a ridiculous government decision.

What does Boss Qin mean? Guo Shuqing's face darkened. Qin Hai's words were indeed hurtful enough.

Qin Hai also said sternly: I mean, as the lord of the city, Secretary Guo should also pay more attention to current affairs, right? The Blue Sky Organization is indeed a well-known international organization, but its various behaviors have always been It has been questioned by people of insight from all over the world, and even its former employees have severely criticized it.

Just last month, Mr. Huot, who once served as the deputy secretary-general of the Blue Sky Organization, published an open letter in the media, claiming that the Blue Sky Organization is not as righteous as it claims to be, it is just a public welfare organization It is nothing more than a cloak, a tool for various interest groups to achieve ulterior motives. This incident caused an uproar internationally, and many scholars and celebrities in the business circle wrote articles expressing their agreement, and also criticized some other well-known public welfare organizations.

It's ridiculous that you don't know anything about these things, yet you treat the Blue Sky organization like a god, have no suspicion of them, and take their absurd remarks as treasures. To use an old saying, it means being sold by someone and helping them count the money.

The words made all the officials present stunned. Qin Hai spoke clearly, and even pointed out the name of the person, which really didn't sound like a fabrication. Given Qin Hai's status, it was obviously impossible to tell a big lie in front of so many people. If Qin Hai's words are true, it means that the blue sky organization is not as pure as the legends say, at least it is controversial. I just listened to a lecture organized by Blue Sky and decided that there is a major problem with the RX project. Does this seem too rash?

Before Qin Hai pierced this layer of window paper, no one had any doubts about the credibility of the Blue Sky organization, but once the truth was revealed, everyone's feelings were completely different. People who can reach the level of city leaders will not have low IQ, especially if they have rich experience in political struggle. As the saying goes, it’s too early to get nothing, and Mr. Gusev and Mr. Ekin are so jumping up and down against the Daqin RX project. Are there really no secrets?

Boss Qin, you said we were sold, what are they selling us for? Liu Zhengfang asked in a daze. When Qin Hai said that there was a problem with the Blue Sky organization, her first reaction was to ask what the problem was.

This kind of statement is also the opinion of Mr. Qin's family.

Before Qin Hai could answer, Guo Shuqing changed the subject first. If Qin Hai was really asked to explain to everyone what the blue sky organization's conspiracy was, and if this explanation was reasonable, then the Yiping Municipal Party Committee and Guo Shuqing would lose face too badly. Although Guo Shuqing believed in Qin Hai's words, he absolutely couldn't admit it.

Yes, this kind of thing means that the public says the public is right, and the woman says the woman is right. Deputy Secretary Lei Guangcheng also realized Guo Shuqing's thoughts, and quickly echoed, Qin always hopes that the RX project can continue to be built. , so we have some opinions on the Blue Sky organization, which we can fully understand. But if it is said that the Blue Sky organization has any ulterior motives, this is probably just a guess.”

Even if it's a guess, we should actively verify it, right? Qin Haidao, There is a scientific basis for whether RX is a highly toxic chemical product and how safe the RX device is. Don't you guys check it out? Are these grounds?

Guo Shuqing remained silent. He recalled that when Xu Yang introduced the dangers of the RX project to him, he did say that these views were controversial, but he could clearly feel that Xu Yang's attitude was inclined to support the Blue Sky Organization. . At that time, Guo Shuqing also hoped to reach such a conclusion, so he didn't have any doubts about Xu Yang's attitude, but only interpreted his hesitation as the natural caution of scientific and technological personnel.

Looking back now, Xu Yang seems to be deliberately trying to induce everyone to accept the views of the Blue Sky Organization. Every word he said has been carefully considered, and there is indeed an unusual secret behind it.

Xu Yang mistaken me!

This is the strongest feeling in Guo Shuqing's heart at the moment.

He dared to declare publicly that he wanted to shut down the Daqin RX project because he believed that the RX project was dangerous. By doing so, he was able to take up justice. Even if Qin Hai moved out a few great gods, he didn't have to be afraid. However, if this kind of danger is really non-existent, then Qin Hai can use the name of the administrative decision to be illegal to make things bigger and let the people above come forward. At that time, Guo Shuqing will have to bear the responsibility of credulity and arbitrariness.

Things have come to this point, Guo Shuqing obviously can't back down, backing out means losing everything. He tried to calm down and said to Qin Hai: As for the risk of the RX project, we did not completely listen to the views of the Blue Sky Organization, but the Science and Technology Bureau made an assessment. Moreover, Yiping City knows the chemical industry There are not many people who have not questioned this issue, which clearly shows that the public's concerns about the RX project are justified. We cannot allow the RX project to restart without addressing these concerns.

Qin Hai heard Guo Shuqing's compromise from Guo Shuqing's words. From the past saying that it will be closed forever, to now saying that it cannot be restarted until the worries are resolved, it is actually a big step back. He smiled and said: It's very simple to solve these concerns. Please Yiping City organize another presentation, invite people from the Blue Sky organization to come on stage, and invite opinion leaders who are most concerned about the RX project in Yiping City. Let’s face it face to face.”
