28 Environmental protection subsidies

The reason why the town of Grigwich was sold to Lin Yilong at a very low price was largely due to the environmental treatment of the abandoned mine framework, which required a lot of money. As a non-autonomous town in West Gramorgan, even with a carbon-emitting forest protection policy, the townspeople still do not enjoy this part of the subsidy. From this point of view, Lin Yilong deserves to be the best buyer here.

The mine, which was finally closed in the 90s, had to use a lot of water to process the mined sands and eventually discharge them into nearby creeks and streams. The town of Masach is the main settlement, and the water source needs to be protected, and the few remaining rivers that are not water sources are affected, and salmon and rainbow trout migratory rivers are no longer seen. Thus, there are fish populations in the river of Masach, while there are no other rivers and streams.

How to deal with the pollution of these rivers has become a major issue for the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and the leading member of parliament on this issue is Mr. Frederick Fisk, a well-known "friend" of Mr. Lin.

By the end of May, Nadia and Vera's test report did not give a word about the water quality, so Lin had to turn to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to prepare a report on the "Water Cleaning Plan for Abandoned Mines."

Mr. Fisk, who had received the report from his officials, hurried to lunch at the Rio Hayashi Yoshilong, the restaurant of the Peasants' Club.

"I intend to invest £3.5 million over the next three years to improve the water quality of the Naflin River. When asked about this, Lin Yilong looked at Mr. Fisker with a happy expression and said his plan, "I want to ask Fred to help me apply for a grant." ”

"It can't be £3.5 million, is it?" asked Fred, who had received a lot of information about the election but did not think that such a friendship would allow him to sign the cheque for the $3.5 million subsidy in a bad conscience.

"Naturally not. Lin Yilong replied, "Since Her Majesty's Ministry of Finance has a subsidy fund for dealing with river pollution, I think I will invest 3.5 million yuan here, plus 500,000-750,000 yuan from the Ministry of Environment's budget to improve the heavy metals accumulated in the river due to mining production, this money should be enough for mineral and heavy metal pollution." “

Mr. Fisk needed such a result to cement his position as a Tories in the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and was interested in Lin's proposal, but he did not estimate that it would cost so much money to clean up a river with silt and heavy metals.

"How much exactly?" asked Mr. Fisk, "there is nothing wrong with this amount, but as an auxiliary councillor, I obviously can't just sign it off, but if you can provide more details, I have no reason not to sign it at all." ”

Lin Yilong then very attentively handed over a report submitted by a South Wales environmental company, which indicated a budget accurate to the penny, a water quality test report and treatment plan, and the project budget.

Mr. Fisk saw Lin Yilong take out the report, and knew that the Navrin River cleaning fee was unlikely to be excused by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, so he hastily glanced at the summary twice and put the report in his black briefcase.

If it succeeds, it's a real achievement. Since the main area of this project is the river in the Brecken Forest Farm, it is impossible for Lin Yilong to pay a lot of money to choose an unreliable company to complete such an environmental protection project, in this case, this project can just be used in the press to solve the Tory environmental protection policy, which has been constantly criticized by the opposition parties recently, and the worst case can also bring Mr. Fisk the praise of "talented" and help him to stand within the Tory Party.

Mr. Fisko owes more to Lin Yilong's personal debt, and I am afraid that he will not be able to repay it in his lifetime - maybe it will be a good thing for both of them.

"No problem, but unfortunately, due to official commitments, I can't give you a positive answer right now. "I'm actually thinking about whether Yilong should get the local county commission into the project and let them do the same, if they really want to do this." ”

The county council or county council is also responsible for the livability of the local population, and the public portion of the riverbed land is also managed by the county council.

"That's a good thing, but now that I've got a lead deal with the environmental company, if I bring the county committee in, I won't have a problem with that. Lin Yilong asked uneasily, the West Gramorgan County Committee naturally did not have the financial resources to support this project, Lin Yilong knew this, "If the county committee has a different candidate for the cleanup of the Naflin River, don't think about doing anything!"

"That's the problem, too. Mr. Fisk agreed with Lin Yilong's objection on this issue, "But since you paid a lot of money, and Her Majesty's government has not paid more than the standard for cleaning up a river, for our officials, of course, we are willing to respect Yilong's choice on this issue." ”

"That's good. Lin Yilong shook Mr. Fisk's hand, and then turned the conversation entirely to other, more interesting topics.

After the meal, the two left the Farmers' Club at different times.

Getting an official contract is a good start for an environmental company, and if the results and value for money are satisfactory, the company will get such a contract without interruption, and the stock price will definitely keep rising. The head of the environmental company that cleaned up the river at Bracken Tree Farm couldn't have imagined why anyone would match the company, but all in all, it was a good thing.

As for the shares that were bought at the lowest level of the company's share price, quietly bought by a private equity fund, and sold silently after the company announced good news, only the parties know what happened.

"It's yours!" Katie greeted Lin Yilong, who had just had lunch with Mr. Fisk and was smiling on his face in the foyer of his apartment on Riverside Street, "We are now waiting for the official website of the environmental protection company to disclose the news, and the stock will definitely rise!"

"Of course. Lin Yilong smiled, "Fred thought he owed me a favor, or everyone thought he was a winner." As everyone knows, the person who is the big winner is here. ”
