Chapter 539: A Wordless Showdown

The financing cost and interest rate of obtaining a yen loan are lower than those of domestic financing, but the requirements for investment projects are quite strict: 30% of the $80 million loan must be used for wastewater treatment projects. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Even in Europe and the United States, where the most stringent requirements for environmental protection, the proportion of environmental protection investment in pure papermaking enterprises is not so high.

Nearly 200 million yuan of environmental protection investment, in addition to the second phase of the project wastewater treatment facilities required by the need, also includes the first phase of the project 60 million environmental protection facilities technical transformation funds. The second phase of the project has been fully launched and is not expected to be officially put into operation until this fall, but the technical transformation of environmental protection facilities in the first phase of the project has been completed.

After the team arrived at Shin Kong Paper, Zhou You was responsible for explaining the whole process, focusing on visiting the world's most advanced wastewater treatment equipment just introduced by Shin Kong Paper, so that Li Yuanhu could see that Shin Kong Paper had no elaborate huge investment in environmental protection, Zhou You said: "Huge investment in environmental protection, there is not much economic benefit for the enterprise, in addition to the one-time equipment investment in the early stage, it also requires a lot of continuous investment and later management, basically pure investment, but we are willing to bear it, This is the social responsibility of enterprises, and it is also the fundamental principle of long-term sustainable development of enterprises...... The industrial wastewater in front of it has been treated and can almost reach the standard of drinking water," Zhou You, general manager of the paper division, Zhou Fu, personally ran up to get a paper cup and a glass of water, so that Li Yuanhu and the officials accompanying the province could see the cleanliness of the water, "This water can be recycled, and this factory has completely realized the ...... of zero discharge of industrial wastewater"

In order to verify Zhou You's words, Zhou Fu also took a sip and said, "There is no bleaching powder smell of tap water......

Zhang Ke blinked, even if he knew that the treatment could meet the standard of drinking water, but seeing the gray and black filth of the industrial wastewater in the pretreatment tank, he would never have the courage to take a sip, which simply tested people's psychological endurance.

Through Su Yiqun, Xie Jiannan saw the earliest letter of intent submitted by Shin Kong Paper for the pulp project, which clearly mentioned that it was necessary to ensure sufficient supply of raw wood, but on the premise of not harming the natural forest ecosystem in the province and surrounding provinces and cities.

In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, the trend of economic ideology that has developed the economy at the expense of the ecological environment and even the interests of some people has occupied the mainstream in China.

In the province, the upper pulp project may cause great pressure on the already fragile natural forest system in the province, but it is not intolerable; Before Zhang Ke led Li Yuanhu and his entourage to Shin Kong Paper's expensive sewage treatment facility, he wanted to clearly tell Li Yuanhu that Kumho's postponement of the pulping project due to ecological and environmental considerations was by no means an excuse for no reason.

Xie Jiannan thought to himself that Kumho was determined not to let the province lead the way, and they wanted to survive and develop in this world according to their own intentions and implement their own will.

Chen Jing was silent, thoughtful, and glanced at Zhang Ke, who was standing on the sidelines, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and he was indeed acting very leisurely, and it was almost hard to imagine that domestic paper companies would pay such a high cost for the environment.

The team came out of the paper industrial park in Xinqiao Town, and Li Yuanhu could fully understand Zhang Ke's intentions, Kumho had no plans to start a pulp project in the near future; It's a showdown.

When going from Xinqiao Town to Haiyu International School at the southern foot of Xiangshan, Li Yuanhu specially called Su Yiqun to his car, in addition to him and Su Yiqun, there were also his secretary Gao Zhen and Lu Wenfu, secretary general of the provincial government.

"When the vice president of Xinguang poured down that glass of water, many newspaper reporters rushed to take pictures of this moment," Li Yuanhu sighed, "Foreign media have been criticizing domestic enterprises for sacrificing the environment for development, and there is hardly a clean river in China......

Although there is some disdain for Shin Kong Paper's approach, the people in the car are politically mature, so no one can open their mouths to criticize them.

"The State Council has been engaged in environmental protection since '93 and has made up its mind to rectify the papermaking enterprises," Su Yiqun said, "but overkill is not good......

Lu Wenfu asked: "Do you say hello to these reporters, don't deliberately promote Shin Kong Paper?" ā€

For Lu Wenfu, there is no question of taking sides, he is in such a position, there is no choice.

"Forget it, after all, this is something worth advocating, this kind of thing has to be greeted, so how will those newspaper reporters look at the province?" Li Yuanhu waved his hand, his eyes looked at the Elephant Mountain with a faint layer of mist in the distance outside the car window, and he was determined not to care about such a thing.

Once the media hyped up Shin Kong Paper's investment in environmental protection, it was tantamount to acquiescing to the fact that Kumho had delayed the pulp project without limit.

Su Yiqun speculated that the leader's intentions still had a hand, and he saw that Li Yuanhu's expression was a little depressed, and he smiled slightly in his heart: Zhang Ke and they used all kinds of means and methods, even at the expense of forcing Li Yuanhu, the governor of a province, to make concessions, and let Kumho develop to implement their own will, it seems that they have won, but the mustard in Li Yuanhu's heart may not be able to disappear.

The convoy drove along the tree-shaded road through the Botanical Gardens into Haiyu International Private School, where Xie Wanqing, her assistant Zhang Ting, and Guohai International School's recruited administrators greeted Li Yuanhu and his party at the school gate.

Over the past year or so, Tse has gradually downplayed her role as the leader of Kumho and devoted most of her energy to this private school with a high standard of education. To be precise, on the eve of Shin Kong Paper's forestry project, Haiyu completely withdrew from Kumho.

Li Yuanhu got out of the car and calmly looked at this woman, who may be the richest woman in the province who fell out with her brother and uncle and no longer interacted, she was indeed very beautiful, and she had a graceful and elegant bearing in her gestures, it should be her connivance that gave Zhang Ke the opportunity to achieve a dazzling Kumho.

In recent years, there have been many aristocratic schools in China, and many branches have been opened in Donghai Province, but they are all for the purpose of profit, like Xie Wanqing's investment in Haiyu International Private School regardless of the cost, which is unique. At present, what can be seen is only the investment in hardware, and it is not clear that Haiyu International School will adopt an educational philosophy and method that is completely different from the domestic education system.

Of course, it is still difficult for ordinary employees in the production line to bear the high education costs of Haiyu International Private School, but if Kumho wants to recruit top technical and management talents from all over the world, it has to consider their families. The vast majority of Chinese parents are willing to make concessions in their work choices for their children's education, but the families of high-educated people are worried about the current situation of education in China, and the education that can fully explore their children's nature and talents is what they are pursuing.

Listening to Xie Wanqing's introduction to the prospect of Haiyu International Private School, Li Yuanhu's mind moved, and Zhang Ke, who sat sideways like a lazy teenager, rarely spoke, and his eyes were rolling around, said: "Kumho has been thinking about its employees for a long time......

"Oh," Zhang Ke said with a smirk, "where do I think so?" Kumho's team is good at planning for their future lives. But there's nothing wrong with it, planting a plane tree can attract a golden phoenix," his hand lay on the table and asked Tang Xueqian on Li Yuanhu's right hand, "That's what you said, right?" He also said to Li Yuanhu, "If you want to recruit top technical and management talents, you must have a living environment that they yearn for. In addition to schools, Kumho also considered investing in the construction of a large community for those employees from other towns to settle down and work in Haizhou...... Considering Kumho's future development, this community will always have enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people......"

Kumho's Hanguang Paper and Aida Group have more than 5,000 employees in Haizhou, and Zhang Ke's words are casual, but they also reveal Kumho's long-term plan to focus on Haizhou.

Previously, Aida Group made a big splash in Beijing, buying buildings, and carrying out extensive cooperation with enterprises and institutions in Beijing, so that Li Yuanhu had the speculation that Kumho had the intention of moving its headquarters to Beijing, and Li Yuanhu was also afraid that Zhang Ke's juvenile heart attack would not play cards according to the rules, which was the purpose of his trip to Haizhou.

At this time, Li Yuanhu was a little relieved.
