Chapter 1023: The Game of Environment and Money

Yang Limin also accepted Peng Li's statement, he is not a person who cares about the lives of employees for money, but he does not have much time to pay attention to the workshop, and he has really not been to the workshop since returning to China.

The new leather material wants to be made into shoes still has to go through a lot of procedures, and because the leather is an animal fur product, there is naturally some taste, especially to add some medicines, in the process of processing, the environment is naturally a little bad, the smell of the scene is definitely not too good, that is, after work, there may be a smell on the uniform and body.

At that time, there were not many people who could realize the harm of this environment, but Yang Limin and the group of returnees in his hands had this awareness.

Kangcheng talked to him about this aspect after he joined the company, and the core content was how to protect the rights and interests of employees in the process of developing the industry. He raised this matter to the level of corporate social responsibility, so that Yang Limin could not avoid it.

In order to eliminate the pollution in the workshop, Yang Limin invested hundreds of thousands of yuan to install air filtration, dust removal and other equipment in the workshop, which has reduced the pollution to a very low level. However, even at such a low level, in Peng Li's eyes, it is still a poisonous operation and is intolerable.

"Aunt Peng, are your standards a little too high?" Yang Limin asked.

"Xiao Yang, do you know that working in this environment will greatly affect the health of employees. Peng Li said. She has read a lot of foreign language journals and knows a lot about international health standards.

Yang Limin nodded again and again: "Of course I know." Because of this, there are not many factories that will really make leather shoes, and there are even fewer long-term ones, Aunt Peng, don't you know, for the benefit of the unit and the current high wages, these must be some prices to pay. ”

"Isn't human life and health comparable to the value of these benefits?" Peng Li glared and reprimanded.

Yang Limin hurriedly said: "It is precisely because I know this that I have invested a lot of money in governance. You see, there is a special ventilation equipment above the assembly line to suck away the exhaust gas generated during the treatment process.

It is sent to a treatment unit for purification. Now the pollution level of our workshop is definitely the lowest among other similar workshops in China. ”

"I admit it. Peng Li said. "But even so, I just measured the index of what kind of toxic gases in the air in your workshop exceeded the standard by so many times. Workers working in such an environment for a long time can lead to chronic poisoning. ”

"What then?" asked Yang Limin.

Li Hui looked at the equipment in the workshop, sighed and said: "Xiaolin, you have already set up such a big stall, and now I ask you to dismount this project, I'm afraid you won't accept it, right? I really can't figure it out, this kind of industry has been eliminated in Western countries." Why are our Chinese companies so enthusiastic?" Lin Zhenhua said: "It's very simple, it's because our country is poor. ”

"No matter how poor you are, the value of human life is the same. Peng Li said.

Yang Limin shook his head and said, "Aunt Peng, I want to ask you a question, you work in the hospital, have you ever met a patient who gave up treatment because of lack of money?"

Peng Li was stunned for a moment, nodded helplessly, and said, "Yes, some patients, if they can use some high-end medicines, they can be saved." However, they can't afford to use such drugs, so we can only watch them die. Sometimes, we doctors are eager to pay for them ourselves, but there are many patients here. Relying on our doctors' voluntary donations, we can't help a few people. ”

Yang Limin said: "That's right, give you 10,000 yuan, let you buy these high-priced drugs, you can save the lives of one or even several patients, so the value of their lives is 10,000 yuan, or even thousands of yuan." Aunt Peng, are you right?"

Peng Li was silent, as a doctor, her duty is to save lives and help the wounded, she never thought that human life actually has a price.

She had to admit that what Yang Limin said sounded cruel, but it was the truth.

She had seen many times when a patient was forced to abandon treatment because he could not afford the high cost of medical care. Although employees in state-owned units have publicly-funded medical treatment or medical treatment, they cannot be reimbursed for high-priced drugs.

Sometimes, a few cents a piece of ordinary antibiotics can solve the problem by replacing an imported antibiotic with a few tens of yuan. But how many families can afford this imported medicine?

Who said that there is no way to live, because if there is a lack of a few hundred or a few thousand yuan, a living life will disappear, this is the price of life.

"Xiao Yang, you're right. I've been in Africa, where one can save a life. However, the people there were so poor that they could not get a penicillin. It is not easy for people there to live to be 30 years old, because the medical conditions are too poor. Peng Li said.

Yang Limin said: "Aunt Peng, you understand now, money is not everything, but no money is everything." To make the people healthy. This is a contradiction. ”

"However, if you don't pollute, you can also develop the economy, you look at the Western countries. Peng Li retorted.

Yang Limin said: "We don't have their technology. If there is that kind of industry that is clean and has high added value, Western countries will definitely hold it in their hands, and with our current strength, we simply cannot compete with them. As poor countries, we can only try to do things as well as possible, but we can't do the best. ”

There has been a great deal of discussion about the relationship between economic development and pollution avoidance.

Many people scold all kinds of polluting enterprises, and they would rather not benefit than pollute, otherwise it will be a big rebellion.

But these people have forgotten one thing, that is, the country has gone through that process, if they are placed in this environment, it is estimated that they will still choose the same benefits as these people at present, after all, if even their children want a sugar gourd, the days of pinching their fingers are too painful. When one is in this environment, the choice may be another.

The African example is not polluted, but are the African people happy? GPD worship is not right, but without GDP, what can you do to improve the people's lives and improve the welfare of the people?

This is a contradiction that needs to be weighed and dealt with, just as Western countries have gone through that process in the past, but it was only later better governed.
