Song Chaoyang grinned bitterly, shook his head uncomfortably, and said, "I applied ointment last night, and after this night, it has some effect, but it is not completely good, and it is estimated that it is inconvenient to run out today." Wait for the delegation to come and take a look, it's really not good, I'll meet with you, and then let Minsheng accompany me for the inspection. After speaking, he said: "Xiao Rui, you will follow the secretary-general, observe the attitude of the delegation, and if you have the opportunity, you will ask about the level of environmental protection control through the secretary-general or yourself, in short, you must take it seriously, and you must not let the other party take advantage of the loophole." ”

Li Rui nodded and agreed, then helped him pack his things, and after packing up the two of them, they went downstairs, got into car No. 1, and rushed to the municipal party committee.

On the way, Li Rui pondered, the boss had earlier expressed his disgust at the Standing Committee that the Yellow River Group had settled in Qingyang, and now he had changed his original plan -- he had promised Yu Heping to accompany the delegation on his behalf, but Yu Heping did not know that he had refused because of a secret illness, so would he think that he would resist the settlement of the Yellow River Group through practical actions? Will there be a greater contradiction between the two because of this? Alas, speaking of which, the boss is really not the right time to commit hemorrhoids, and he will drop the chain at a critical moment, and what a delay it will be.

At half past nine in the morning, the delegation sent by the Yellow River Group rushed to Qingyang, and then rushed to the municipal party committee to meet Song Chaoyang under the leadership of Cai Lin, deputy mayor in charge of industry on the municipal government's side. Both the delegation and Cai Lin thought that Song Chaoyang, the secretary of the municipal party committee, would accompany them on the inspection as originally planned, but they were soon disappointed, and Song Chaoyang refused on the grounds that he was busy with official business, and expressed his apologies, and then arranged for Du Minsheng, secretary general of the municipal party committee, to accompany the inspection on his behalf.

After going down from the municipal party committee building, Li Rui, who followed behind Du Minsheng, keenly found that Zheng Sanli, the leader of the delegation and vice president of the Yellow River Group, was a little unhappy.

The Yellow River Chemical Group sent a delegation, there are not many personnel, only four, but all are heavyweights, led by Zheng Sanli, vice president of the group in charge of market development, followed by assistant to the president, deputy chief engineer of the group, and the technical director of the group who will be the director of the new fertilizer plant. All four of them were men, except for the deputy chief engineer, who was older, fifty or sixty years old, and the other three were all very young, all in their thirties and forties. When people are young, they will naturally be vigorous, and the group to which they belong is the second listed giant in the national fertilizer industry, so they are more confident, and even a little arrogant.

In fact, when he was in the reception room upstairs just now, Li Rui had already discovered that Zheng Sanli's face was a little unnatural when he heard that Song Chaoyang would not accompany him on the inspection and let Secretary-General Du Minsheng accompany him.

After getting in the car, Li Rui told Du Minsheng about this discovery.

Du Minsheng was not angry, smiled faintly, and said: "The other party believes that he is a listed company, and he is very famous in China, and he thinks that our Qingyang will beg them to invest, so he will be energetic as soon as he comes, and he thinks that our Qingyang will be for them from top to bottom, and treat them as VIPs. ”

Li Rui sneered: "It's a pity that they don't know, not only will we not beg them to invest and settle down, but we also want to refuse them to settle down." If they want to play tricks on this point, hehe, then they can only make their own bitter wine in the end. ”

Du Minsheng smiled after hearing this, and asked: "Xiao Rui, I'll test you, if you are in charge of the government in the future, and you encounter a similar situation, on the one hand, it will cause environmental pollution, and on the other hand, it will contribute to your political achievements, then what will you choose?"

This question seems simple, Li Rui can say with great righteousness: "Of course, I refuse to settle down! The ecological environment and people's health are the most important!" But he didn't, he was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he couldn't make a choice.

Du Minsheng saw his reaction, but he was not disappointed, but nodded, feeling that he was not hypocritical, not pretentious, and very sensible.

If you are not a party to this question, then of course you can open your mouth and express your opinion on the side of justice, morality, and conscience, anyway, it is just a matter of the upper lip touching the lower lip; In real life, how many leading cadres have attracted investment and introduced enterprises that have caused major pollution to the ecological environment for the sake of temporary political achievements and promotions? If you pollute yours, I will not live in a polluted place anyway, and when my political achievements are enough, I will be promoted to an official and leave, and the environment will be polluted, and it will matter my business? It is precisely "let me be glorious and rich in front of me, who cares about the flood behind me!"

Du Minsheng sighed: "The development experience of Western countries has taught us that in order to develop the economy, we must pay the price of the ecological environment and take the path of 'development first, governance later'. Now some people in China are mentioning that we should not follow the old path of economic development in Western countries, but should take the road with our national characteristics, and try not to pollute as much as possible, so that there will naturally be no need for governance. With the current level of productivity in our country, it is basically impossible to achieve a well-off or even common prosperity by relying entirely on industries that do not pollute the environment. We can only develop the economy under the premise of trying to control pollution as much as possible. ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, giving Li Rui time to digest, and then said: " You see, the first-tier developed cities in China, such as Beijing and Shanghai, have completed the industrialization process, reached a relatively high level of productivity, and entered the era of the tertiary industry, so they can completely abandon the primary and secondary industries and move out of all those polluting enterprises, but this situation is only applicable to developed cities, for underdeveloped cities and even poor cities, such as our Qingyang, but they can't do this, or even have no qualifications to do so, because we still need industry to speed up development. For example, a rich man and a poor man see a piece of braised pork on the ground at the same time, although the meat can be eaten, but it is very dirty, the rich man may pout and leave, but the poor man must pick it up and eat it, otherwise he may starve to death, we Qingyang is this poor man, and that piece of braised pork is a polluting enterprise like the Yellow River Group. ”

Li Rui thought so and sighed secretly, this is where the contradiction between economic development and the protection of the ecological environment lies.

Du Minsheng said: "So I think that for the political leaders, don't attract investment with a habit of cleanliness, sometimes you need to be 'rare and confused', but you can't be too indulgent to polluting enterprises, and they must be required to control the pollution of the environment within a low range." If the pollution caused by the Yellow River Group's fertilizer plant is acceptable, I would approve of them settling in. On the other hand, if even the soil and groundwater are polluted, as in the case of the Taifu Chemical Plant, it is too serious and must be shut down and treated. ”

Li Rui nodded and said, "I understand, you want me to learn to master a degree." ”

Du Minsheng bowed his head slightly and said, "This degree is easy to grasp, but it is actually not easy. For example, against the Yellow River Group, whether our Qingyang is settled before it settles down or after it settles, it is likely to be in a passive position, how can we grasp this?"

Li Rui nodded again and again, feeling that after today's conversation with him, his understanding of the golden mean has become more profound, and his mood has become more sleek and mature, and he is generally closer to the appearance of an official, but I don't know whether this is good or bad.

It is said that the delegation wants to learn about the sales and use of chemical fertilizers in Qingyang, the first agricultural city in Shannan Province, through the Agricultural Bureau, and also want to understand the relevant situation of the province and neighboring provinces and cities. It can be seen from this that the delegation came prepared.

Li Rui thought that the reason why the Provincial Department of Education wanted the Provincial Agricultural University to cooperate with Qingyang City to build a school was because Qingyang was a big agricultural city, so the Yellow River Group wanted to come to Qingyang to build a fertilizer plant, did it also fancy the huge agricultural supplies market in Qingyang City?

The team rushed to the Municipal Agricultural Bureau, the delegation, the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau and the Department of Industry sent two directors and Du Minsheng, Cai Lin two city leaders were warmly welcomed by the leadership of the Bureau, and then the guests and hosts walked into the conference room of the Bureau to hold a symposium, by the Bureau responsible for the allocation of fertilizer reserves in charge of the planting industry management office, to introduce the use of chemical fertilizers in Qingyang City to the delegation.

The meeting lasted only half an hour, and Zheng Sanli, vice president of the Yellow River Group, got up to say goodbye after asking a few questions.

The delegation rushed to the second stop, the Science and Technology Industrial Park of Gaokai District.

I don't know when it started, no matter what kind of company's delegation arrived, they had to go to the Gaokai Zone to take a turn. Li Rui was very skeptical: Zheng Sanli and others went to the Gaokai Zone to inspect what results they could find? You must know that the fertilizer plant is not a high-tech industry, and theoretically it is not qualified to settle in the Gaokai Zone, and even if the city agrees to settle down, it can only settle in the suburbs like the Taifu Chemical Plant.

During the inspection procession, Qian Guangzhi, director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, accompanied Zheng Sanli to get off the bus and introduced various preferential policies for him near the park. Zheng Sanli nodded again and again when he heard this, but he never said anything, with an arrogant indifference on his face, like a high-ranking boss of a state-owned enterprise.

Subsequently, the convoy went on the road again, and according to Zheng Sanli's request, went to several planned industrial sites in the northern suburbs of Gaokai District to check the field environment.
