As long as foreign businessmen come to invest in the mainland in this era, will they be able to succeed?

Not necessarily.

Even in previous lives, there were many cases of failed foreign investment, including many well-known international companies.

There are many reasons for failure, and Wu Xiaozheng is now going to rely on his own experience to inform everyone about some possible risks that should be avoided as much as possible.

This is not only for the sake of these foreign businessmen present, but also for the image and reputation of the country.

In this era, it is not easy to attract investment, in order to help the country establish a good image and reputation, Wu Xiaozheng can do a little bit of his best.

Although his next remarks may be suspicious of "eating inside and out", he believes that in the long run, he should be right.

It's good to be a person and do things with a clear conscience.

"The first thing I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to is not to touch projects that involve environmental issues. ”

This is a question that Wu Xiaozheng hates the most.

This is still an era when there is no environmental awareness.

In this era, in order to promote local economic development and attract investment, many local governments have attracted many enterprises with serious environmental pollution in a hurry.

In previous lives, China paid a heavy price for this.

Attracting investment has always been a double-edged sword.

With the massive influx of foreign capital, China soon developed into a veritable world factory, and the domestic economy developed rapidly.

At the same time, however, China is also seen as a polluting paradise by foreign companies.

With the awakening of environmental awareness abroad, many multinational companies will regard developing countries with low environmental regulatory standards as "pollution paradise" in order to reduce pollution costs, and export a large number of polluting industries.

In order to attract foreign investment, developing countries often engage in "race to the bottom", competing to lower environmental regulatory standards, thus deteriorating the environment.

In the 90s and early 21st century, China was a polluting paradise in the eyes of many multinational companies.

China has indeed paid a heavy price for this.

In the 21st century, China's water and air pollution have become the most serious problems, countless cities have fallen into a smog crisis, and the appearance of clear waters and lush mountains is no longer there.

It wasn't until later, when the pollution had deteriorated to unbearable levels, that the Chinese government finally woke up and began to take the problem seriously, and a large number of multinational companies were blacklisted for serious pollution.

In this blacklist, there are many well-known multinational companies at the top.

For example, Apple, a well-known mobile phone company, and its supporting enterprises in China, used the toxic solvent n-hexane instead of alcohol in the production of touch screens, resulting in the poisoning of many employees, which led to the famous "Apple pollution incident", which caused the boycott and attack of the Chinese people.

Another example is the well-known Coca-Cola and Pepsi, many of their production plants in China have been ordered to suspend business for rectification due to water pollution.

Another example is the famous Panasonic, which has about 5,000 first-tier suppliers in China to provide components and materials, and a considerable number of these suppliers are involved in serious environmental pollution problems, until 2012, Panasonic began to strictly review the environmental pollution problems of suppliers according to the requirements of the Chinese government.

There are many similar well-known multinational companies, such as Armani and other well-known international clothing brands, many of their cloth suppliers in China have also been involved in serious pollution problems.

As for those chemical companies, not to mention.

After being reborn, Wu Xiaozheng poured too much affection into his hometown, and he naturally did not want these investors he personally introduced to invest in those polluting projects in Hunan Province.

Therefore, he gave everyone a preventive shot as soon as possible.

In fact, he is not only for the good of his hometown, but also for the sake of these Chinese businessmen.

Investing in polluting projects does not come without a cost.

Before Wu Xiaozheng's rebirth, China's environmental consciousness was vigorously rectifying polluting enterprises, and a new development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" was proposed, and in order to achieve this concept, China had shut down 176,000 seriously polluting enterprises at one time.

And some particularly polluting enterprises have paid a huge price early.

For example, the international chemical giant DuPont's titanium dioxide project in Dongying, Shandong Province, was once a key investment project of the local government.

In the first eight years of the project, DuPont invested nearly 500 million yuan, but finally could not start construction due to environmental problems, which made DuPont lose all its money.

After roughly explaining the reason, Wu Xiaozheng once again pleaded with everyone present.

"Although the ultimate purpose of everyone's investment is to make profits, I implore everyone, for the sake of the Chinese people, do not touch those projects that cannot solve environmental problems, so as not to leave a stint in the motherland for thousands of years in the future. ”

For the sake of the person he invited in, Wu Xiaozheng said very politely.

In fact, if any of these people here dared to get involved in a polluting project in Hunan Province, he would definitely not sit idly by.

Once discovered, he will definitely use his influence to be evildoers, so that these people will lose all their money.

In this life, he will not sit idly by and watch his hometown become a polluted paradise.

Wu Xiaozheng just didn't know if he would be infamous once his words were spread.

It's quite possible.

As far as he knows, at this investment promotion meeting, some of the projects listed by many local governments actually have great potential environmental pollution risks, and many local leaders are still treating them as key projects and hoping to bring in huge sums of money.

This is very normal, after all, the awareness of environmental protection in this era is really not strong.

And Wu Xiaozheng's preventive injection will definitely ruin their good deeds.

Therefore, after the matter spread, Wu Xiaozheng is likely to be abused by some people behind his back.

But Wu Xiaozheng didn't care.

In fact, his preventive injection still has a certain effect.

William Lin, chairman of the General Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs, immediately stood up and responded.

Wu Dong's words are indeed worthy of everyone's attention, as a Chinese, although it is important to make money, but the national solar terms are more precious, we can't put domestic compatriots in dire straits in order to make money, that kind of behavior is no different from national scum. ”

"I propose that if any of us dare to ignore environmental protection for the sake of profit, the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association will consider blacklisting such people. ”

He was assuring Wu Xiaozheng in disguise.

As the chairman of the General Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs, he has this qualification and this obligation.

In fact, these people here, because they have lived in the United States for a long time, have long known the importance of environmental protection.

Wu Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction.

Polluted paradise will not exist under my nose!
