At the end of March, in an indoor venue near a university in Xiangjiang, the public opinion game between the two sides has reached the final white-hot juncture.

"Citizens! I know that in the past few days, some unscrupulous gangsters have ulterior motives in attacking our 'Taguling Environmental Protection Promotion Association,' saying that our arguments have no factual basis, and these are despicable frame-ups! Today, we will show you real examples, and I believe that the fathers and villagers are all clear-sighted people!"

Professor Yao raised his arms and shouted from the podium, abandoning the tranquility of a scholar and joining the debate for the public.

Since ancient times, cultural people have the so-called "no referee, no debate" style, and those who are lawyers and professional scholars do not disdain to beep with the ignorant public. Professor Yao walked out of the ivory tower and achieved this step, which is also full of energy.

"Everyone, please look at this projection - this is a large brown soil in Dapu, which was built in 79 years at the end of the authorities' planning of Dapu and Yuen Long Development Zones in the 70s.

Those despicable developers, after destroying the original mangrove tidal flats, did not build a solid foundation, nor did they build high-rise buildings according to the original plan, but only supplemented the survey a little, saying that the soil was too soft and not suitable for the development of high-rise buildings for the time being. After the vegetation was destroyed and the land was smoothed, a temporary factory with FRP tiles was casually built, and now it has become a very wasteful and inefficient auto repair factory.

And it is said that the temporary buildings that do not need to go through the environmental impact assessment and fire protection acceptance, according to the laws of the port, can only be maintained and used for less than two years and should be demolished, and now it is the sixth year, and it is still delayed and not demolished - what are these real estate dogs and developers trying to do, can you not see?

They saw that the negotiations between the two countries were imminent a few years ago, and they immediately built a large number of houses and threw them on the market to sell at an inexpensive price, so they wanted to wait for the current international situation to be stable and the future of the port was clear, and then in the future, they would ship at a high price and slaughter the citizens!

Can we allow these dog developers who eat people and don't spit out bones to succeed? Can we tolerate the delay in the development of the land they originally obtained, and still hold it in their hands for 10 or 8 years, and then hold on to the bowl and the pot and the new land? No! We must use our unity to force the land hoarders and profiteers to have a piece and sell a piece, and the last piece is not sold out, and we will absolutely not give them a chance to make new land! Therefore, I hope that all the deputies will support my viewpoint at the hearing!

Of course, Professor Yao can cite several cases of brown soil hoarding, such as "Dapu Mangrove Beach Land developed in the late 70s", all of which are very vivid, and there are also bitter people who come to complain with tears. The effect is certainly very good.

In good conscience, his words are not wrong, because the big families of Xiangjiang Real Estate are indeed despicable and shameless to a certain extent, and those who find excuses to plan first, hoard later, and create scarcity, there is a piece of it, and they don't do less-

Conscientious developers who are less dry, twenty years ago, may have existed. But because you are not traitorous enough, the profit margin is not as good as those traitors, so after so many years of rolling accumulation of market competition, you can't do those traitors, and they are all destroyed.

Nowadays, the hatred of the citizens of this port towards the real estate family has been very obvious, according to the original historical trajectory, in a few decades, this hatred will only become more and more obvious, in the final analysis, the British land law harms.

It's just that Gu Biao and Zhang Zhongmou were originally engaged in industry this time. Professor Yao and the forces behind him, when propagating public opinion, secretly changed the concept and secretly replaced all those engaged in construction with the equivalent of "real estate developers".

Obviously, Gu Biao's faction will not allow Professor Yao to change their concepts and rhythms in public opinion like this.

Just as Professor Yao was making a big speech, a female reporter from Ming Pao stood up and asked sharply:

"Professor Yao, with all due respect, you seem to be an academic leader in the field of environmental science in your department, shouldn't your arguments focus on environmental issues?

"This ......" Professor Yao also wants to save face, and it is not easy to answer directly in person for a while.

But he can make a color, and immediately there are students and seemingly neutral nurseries to help answer the call.

"Are you a lackey sent by the Li family and the Zheng family of the real estate! What's wrong with Professor Yao caring about the well-being of the citizens!"

The female reporter of "Ming Pao" smiled slightly: "There is nothing wrong, but since it is an enthusiastic public welfare and wants to investigate, it should be investigated comprehensively, rather than selectively blind."

As far as I know, the auto repair shop in Dapu District that Professor Yao just mentioned has solved thousands of jobs for the city, and concentrated on two-thirds of the city's private car breakdown repair business - and Professor Yao just said that 'the temporary building was planned for two years, but it has not been demolished for six years', is it too unfair?

Planned repurposing is a common occurrence and may not be the result of an ulterior motive on the part of the developer. Professor Yao knows that according to the industrial scale of the car repair factories in Hong Kong six years ago, if the new cars of New Territories residents in recent years have broken down, will they have to be taken to the mainland for repairs? Or should they start to restrict the number of private cars they buy in Hong Kong from today?

These are all technical service industries that must be localized, which cannot be transferred to the outside world, and also solve so many new jobs. What's wrong with turning a piece of residential land into industrial land for the sake of thousands of jobs? Is it true that all the planning changes are a conspiracy to hoard land?"

"These reporters must have been bribed by Gu Biao and Zhang Zhongmou to smash the scene! Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to speak so sharply and investigate so fully!" Professor Yao was a little big-headed, and he secretly worried in his heart.

But that's not all.

The female reporter of "Ming Pao" took out a walkman and a cassette tape in public: "Professor Yao, and according to you, you should be very resistant to the auto repair factory in Dapu District that changed the land? You should not have any intersection with its operator, Boss Wang? So, how do you explain this recording of your conversation with Boss Wang of Dapu Auto Repair a few years ago?"

You know him very well. You also clarified their respective responsibilities with him: 'This time, you can let the auto repair workers make trouble as nail households to prevent the demolition of the factory and build residential buildings, so don't let the EIA people sell their faces', this is what you said personally. We have to ask, which side are you on, and why do the nailers of the auto repair shop and the original owners of the land who are despicable and shameless in your mouth secretly negotiate a solution with you?"

Professor Yao was dumbfounded, but reacted quickly: "Despicable! This is wiretapping, oh not forgery! This cannot be used as evidence in court! I will sue you for slander and slander!"

The female reporter of "Ming Pao" ridiculed each other: "We didn't eavesdrop, this recording was provided to us by Boss Wang of Dapu Automobile Repair Factory, he is a party to the conversation, so this can't be called eavesdropping, it can only be said that the party concerned in order to protect himself, keep an eye on it, and record and back up the conversation with a decent person like you, so as not to be kicked away by a Sven like you in the future!"

Professor Yao was anxious: "This is not eavesdropping! This is forgery! Don't believe it, I will sue tomorrow, everyone will be subject to the result of the trial, and my innocence will be proved!"

Professor Yao knows that there must be some forces at the bottom that have been pulled over by the other party, and it is more likely that some real estate families have also been pulled over, so there are so many loopholes, it seems that the enemy's money, power, and energy this time are really not small-

Professor Yao's own buttocks are not clean, and he is often used by the real estate family as a night pot. Therefore, sometimes several night pots have to pass the buck to each other, try to hope that others will take less money and more urine, take more money and less urine, or brush it clean immediately after urinating.

He resisted desperately, and only said that everyone should be subject to the outcome of the trial, hoping that the conclusion here would be dragged out by the delay of the defamation lawsuit.

However, after this incident, his opportunities to directly exert influence on public opinion have been knocked out ninety percent. He can only count on hearings and expert reviews to make a difference.

In other words, the battlefield of "no referee, no debate" was temporarily muddled by the enemy's offensive, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to count on the mobilization of the ignorant masses. He was left with only the battlefield of "there is a referee before debating".

Of course, Daniels Robben and the two agencies behind him and a certain foundation will not only count on Professor Yao as a pawn of public opinion. On the front of many of their other chess pieces, they have also launched such a fierce battle of verbal artillery attacking each other's positions, which is just a microcosm, and Professor Yao is the highest academic status among these chess pieces.

However, even in the end, in the eyes of the academic community and this professional, Professor Yao seems to have become less secure.

Two days later, when he was taking students to a debriefing class at the university, the secretary of the board of trustees hurriedly broke down the door and asked him something that shocked him.

"Professor Yao, were you one of the reviewers of a doctoral dissertation at the University of Tokyo in an EST journal two months ago?"

“…… Well, I don't remember exactly. Is there one?"

"EST allows you to review several papers a year, can't you remember such a thing?"

"That's right, because it's double-blind, I only know the unit, maybe the University of Tokyo, yes, I reviewed a paper on the management of quicksand in Northeast Asia......" Professor Yao was a little weak.

He actually remembered this article very clearly, because at that time, the other party actually tentatively guessed that he was one of the main reviewers in a double-blind situation, and then he connected with him at an academic conference when he went on a business trip, and stuffed a large amount of money in order to let him go.

But it was precisely because of this that Professor Yao didn't dare to admit it just now.

EST is the most authoritative journal in the field of environmental science in the world, and if it is double-blind, it must be double-blind.

The secretary of the school board hated iron and steel: "Look at the good things you have done! The other party turned himself in, admitted to giving you tens of millions of yen, asked you to support his paper, and helped suppress the opinions of two other reviewers who did not know each other!"

Professor Yao was dumbfounded, and even didn't even want to save face, and openly shouted: "This is impossible! How could anyone turn themselves in? Does he not want his academic future for this kind of thing?"

Although the other party is not a famous professor, but only a doctoral student, it is very expensive to study for a doctorate, okay, and there are so many years of hard work......

Unless someone gives a high price enough to buy out the other party's academic life for a lifetime, the other party will try to bite him.

Professor Yao only felt that his eyes were dark: Who am I offending? Can't even the power of the two agencies and a certain foundation cover me?

No way! There is no force in this world that can get EST to help suppress him!
