Chapter 0974 Pollution Control and Shutdown of Steel Mills
After Du Huanchang was severely reprimanded by Long Xiao, he did change his work style, no longer working in the office every day, but often went to the masses and the police to understand the difficulties that the people urgently needed to solve, and to understand the actual problems of ordinary policemen, which won a lot of praise, so that Du Huanchang's public opinion evaluation was very high, and there was great possibility of progress.
Long Xiao himself is like this, and he put forward the regular grass-roots level in the Standing Committee as a regular work criterion, and the entire Shanghai Stock Exchange was applauded by the people. Long Xiao proposed that each Standing Committee member not only go to the countryside and the grassroots level, but also discover, raise and solve problems.
As a result, the question of offshore steel plants was raised. The offshore iron and steel plant is an old steel plant established at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has been brilliant, and it can be said that it has made great contributions to the economic development of the offshore industry and even the economic development of the whole country. However, with the development of the economy of China, the offshore iron and steel plant does not want to forge ahead, has always been to eat the old capital, the products produced are still the products of the five or six years, nothing more than disc round steel, or rebar, at most for the construction of houses, it can be said that it is a civil economy factory.
Although the product is aging, but the offshore steel plant has never lost money, has always been a large taxpayer of the sea listing, although the current tax amount has been countless, but there are still hundreds of millions of taxes, therefore, the offshore steel plant has always been proud and complacent, staying on the basis of an old product.
The offshore steel plant covers an extremely wide area, with an area of 5,000 acres of land, and was the first steel plant in China a few decades ago, and is also a major polluter of the sea market, although in recent years, a lot of treatment measures have been taken, because of backward technology and backward production capacity, it has been the main source of pollution in the sea market.
There are two main types of pollution in steel plants, one is thick smoke and the other is wastewater. Because these two are difficult to govern, it is not impossible to govern, if it is really governed, the profits of the Haishi Iron and Steel Plant are not enough to control the pollution, therefore, the hundreds of millions of income of the Haishi Iron and Steel Plant is at the cost of polluting the entire Haishi.
There are also a few problems that the output value of the steel plant is no longer the first listed on the sea, and it has long lagged far behind other enterprises, even the top 100 cannot be counted, which is also a headache for the municipal government.
Someone submitted this question, which attracted Long Xiao's great attention, and on this day, Long Xiao took his own special plane to hover in the sea market, feeling the scenery of the sea market from a high altitude. Long Xiao found on the plane that the entire Haishi was very beautiful, but the smoky steel mill was ruining the scenery, and as soon as the sea breeze blew, the entire Haishi was smoky, and Long Xiao made up his mind to close down this big polluter.
Long Xiao convened a standing committee and raised this issue, but first met with opposition from secretary Li Qiran. Li Qiran has two views; One is that the iron and steel plant has tens of thousands of employees, how to arrange it after it is disbanded, and the second problem is that the city government cannot unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the steel plant used to make great contributions, but now it cannot be closed because of pollution, which makes the cadres and masses of the steel plant feel cold.
The current steel plant does not look at the output value is not large, only tens of billions of production capacity, but the level is not low, the director and secretary of the steel plant are at the provincial level, and the party secretary is also the deputy mayor of the sea market, which shows that there is a great background.
Haicheng Iron and Steel Plant has always been controlled by the old Li family, and it is the territory of the old Li family, if it is closed, it will be a big loss for the Li family, which is also an important reason why Li Qiran did not let it close, this reason cannot be spoken, but Long Xiao's heart is like a mirror.
Long Xiao was determined to close the steel plant, seeing that Secretary Li Qiran did not agree, he had to use his killer weapon to vote with a show of hands, not surprisingly, Long Xiao passed the resolution with more than half of the Standing Committee. Li Qiran didn't care, put forward his own opinions, and said that he reserved his own opinions, and demanded that the matter be reported to the central authorities, and the central authorities would make a decision. Long Xiao was stunned in his heart, feeling as if he had eaten a fly.
A few days later, the central authorities really sent people to inspect the Haishi market, and the person who came was Vice Premier Li, who was in charge of Huaxia industry, and praised the industrial situation of the Haishi market, but also raised a question, that is, we should not easily close down a large state-owned enterprise.
Long Xiao had no choice but to explain to Vice Premier Li, saying that the shortcomings of the Haishi Iron and Steel Plant are greater than a little, not only a pollution problem, but also a large energy consumer, which is not conducive to the economic development of the Haishi Iron and Steel Plant, and will not benefit the people of Haishi, but will only be a burden.
Vice Premier Li asked rhetorically: "Is the Haicheng Iron and Steel Plant losing money?" Is the output value of tens of billions of dollars a great contribution to the development of overseas listing? Do you want to close the steel mill with selfish motives? How to arrange the tens of thousands of cadres and masses in the steel plant? Have you thought about these questions? ”。
Before Long Xiao could answer a series of questions from Vice Premier Li, Vice Premier Li brushed his sleeves away, leaving Long Xiao with a very embarrassing situation, that is, Long Xiao had the impression of disobeying the leadership of the central government. This is a great sin. No matter what era it was in, China's politics was centralized, and the subordination of the lower levels to the higher levels and the subordination of the whole party to the central authorities was stipulated in the Constitution and was also the established policy of any term.
Although Vice Premier Li does not represent the entire central government, Vice Premier Li is in charge of industry, and what he says still has weight, so Long Xiao is embarrassed. On the one hand, if it has already passed the Standing Committee, it is said to be legal, but if it conflicts with the spirit of the Central Committee, even if it is passed by the Standing Committee, it will be vetoed.
So, Long Xiao decided to ask for help, so he called Chief No. 1 and asked to meet. The No. 1 leader approved, and Long Xiao took a special plane to the capital and met the No. 1 chief.
"Chief, I'm here, I want to report to you", Long Xiao said his thoughts in a very low-key manner when they met. No. 1 didn't immediately answer Long Xiao's question, but said to Long Xiao: "I didn't bring cigars and cigarettes when I came to Beijing this time, I heard that you brought them with you." Long Xiao said yes, so he took out a box from the ring and gave it to the No. 1 chief.
The No. 1 leader was surprised: "It's strange, how can such a big box be hidden on you?" Do you do magic? This is Long Xiao's secret, naturally he can't tell anyone, not even the No. 1 chief. Although the No. 1 leader also knew that Long Xiao had several abilities, it was better to keep more abilities from Long Xiao. Long Xiao smiled and said: "Chief, don't look at it, this is also one of my abilities, can I keep it a secret for the time being."
Since Long Xiao said this, the No. 1 leader couldn't ask to the end, but he sighed for Long Xiao's ability: "Long Xiao, how much ability do you have, can you tell me if you have the opportunity?" ”。 Long Xiao said: "No problem, when the conditions are ripe, I will definitely tell the chief, all my secrets, it's not that I don't tell you now, it's that there are some problems that can't be said, please understand."
The No. 1 chief didn't ask, but said, "Tell me about your work." Long Xiao said about Vice Premier Li's visit to the Haishi market, and the No. 1 chief pondered for a while and said: "Long Xiao, I think your proposal is right, just a steel plant of tens of billions of dollars, just exchange the pollution of the entire Haishi market, I don't approve of it, but there is also a problem, the problem that Vice Premier Li said, is also a problem, how to arrange the cadres and masses of the steel plant is a big deal, and there can be no chaos, besides, you also know the situation in Huaxia, and the balance of interests between various families is also important. You should also pay attention to this".
"I know that over the years, you have used your Long Group to create a lot of achievements for the country, and your contribution is also very large, but the benefits are also very large, and other families will feel unbalanced, which is also a problem, if you want to straighten out this relationship, there will be no problem, do you understand my words."
Long Xiao smiled and said: "I understand the chief's words, after I go back, I will formulate a plan to ensure that the people of the Li family will not suffer the slightest loss, this is always okay, right?" ”。 The No. 1 leader laughed: "You dragon Xiao, your brain is good, but you can do what you want, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, no one can resist it, this is the trend of history."
