Chapter 117: A Japanese Friend Who Helps Others
"Good news! Good news! ”
Pan Shengjie, director of the county economic commission, stumbled into the office of the county magistrate Guo Ming, his face full of joy, as if he had picked up gold ingots all the way.
"Lao Pan, what good news makes you happy like this?" Guo Mingle looked at Pan Shengjie and asked.
"County Magistrate Guo, do you remember the Japanese named Kunio Kishida?" Pan Shengjie asked.
Guo Ming nodded: "How could I not remember, is he here again?" ”
"No, he didn't come, it's a Japanese named Ichiro Kawashima, he's a man named ...... By the way, the vice president of the Great East Asia Shared Green Foundation is coming to our Pingyuan. Pan Shengjie said.
Greater East Asia Shared Green Foundation...... Is this enterprise a manufacturer of paints? The second monk Guo Ming couldn't touch his head. Of course, a foreign guest can be regarded as a happy event, but the representative of a paint company came to Pingyuan, and it is not worth Pan Shengjie to be so excited. Besides, there aren't too many buildings in Pingyuan that need to use green paint, so what did Ichiro do when he came to Pingyuan?
"Ha Luha, County Magistrate Guo didn't figure it out, did he? When I first heard the news, I couldn't turn the corner for a long time, and the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office explained to me for a long time before I figured it out. Pan Shengjie said proudly, although he is Guo Ming's subordinate, the difference in rank between the two is not so big, and he is also an object that can be joked. The news he got was so good that he couldn't help but sell it and let Guo Ming share his joy.
It turns out that the so-called Greater East Asia Shared Green Foundation is not a paint company, but an environmental protection public welfare organization in Japan, whose purpose is to help Asian countries restore their ecology and protect the environment. Ichiro Kawashima came to Yasugawa this time. The reason is that I heard that there are some old steel mills in Nord Stream City that have accumulated a lot of ironmaking waste residue, which has not been effectively disposed of for many years.
Reputedly. This waste residue is exposed to the outdoors for a long time, which can affect the local air quality. It will also pollute groundwater and, in short, cause an extremely serious ecological disaster. As Japanese friends who help others, for the health of the Chinese people, they are willing to help the local government of Nord Stream City remove these slags and give the people of Nord Stream a clear living environment.
"He's talking about the two scum mountains of Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant?" Guo Ming reacted when he heard Pan Shengjie's explanation, and the two scum mountains did obstruct the view, and the county had planned to dispose of them. But I couldn't find a way to deal with it, so I delayed it again and again, and it dragged on for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, Pingyuan County itself is unknown, but the two scum mountains have already alarmed Japanese friends.
"I have to thank Kunio Kishida for this, the Japanese are so kind." Pan Shengjie said with emotion, "I heard that when Kunio Kishida was invited by Qin Hai to visit the steel plant, he found those two scum mountains. After returning home. He had been thinking about this for a long time, and after several efforts, he finally contacted Mr. Kawashima. Mr. Kawashima's Green Foundation is dedicated to this kind of public welfare, and their money is donated by Japanese entrepreneurs. Dedicated to helping developing countries like ours on a pro bono basis. ”
"And how are they going to get rid of the slag?" Guo Ming asked.
"I heard that they plan to pay their own money and hire migrant workers in our Pingyuan. The waste is dug up and loaded onto the train wagons. It was shipped to Cen Zhou for loading and then shipped back to Japan. Pan Shengjie said.
Guo Ming was surprised: "Didn't they say that these waste slags are poisonous." Why do you have to ship it back to Japan? ”
Pan Shengjie said with a smile: "County Magistrate Guo doesn't know what to do, right?" I didn't understand it at first, but as soon as they explained, I understood. You think, Japan is an island, and the area is only as large as our Nord Stream area. If they want to develop their economy, they have to rely on land reclamation. So they brought it back and used it for reclamation. Ha Luha, this thing is a waste in us, and when it comes to others, it can be turned into treasure, and if you want to say that the Japanese are capable, people can't admire it. ”
"So, they help us clean up the garbage, not only do we not have to pay for it, but they can also make us some money, right?" Guo Ming asked.
Pan Shengjie said: "That's right, that's right. I heard that the Japanese invite migrant workers to work, and the wages they pay are higher, which is higher than the salary level of our government cadres. ”
"That's a great thing!" Guo Ming figured it out, "Lao Pan, you go to implement it immediately, contact the village cadres of each village below Chengguan Town, and ask them to mobilize and organize the most conscious farmers to be migrant workers." Also, I have to say hello to the steel mill for this matter, isn't it now that Qin Hai has rented the site of the steel mill, tell him in advance and let him cooperate. If this thing can be done, Qin Hai has made another contribution to our county, if it wasn't for him to take Kunio Kishida to the steel plant to visit, how would Japanese friends know that we have this problem? ”
Pan Shengjie happily ran to make arrangements, Guo Ming asked the secretary to call the steel factory, informing Qin Hai to come to the county government immediately, and there was something important to inform him.
Qin Hai was studying smelting techniques with Li Linguang and them at the steel mill at this time, and when he received the call, he didn't think much about it, changed into clean clothes, and drove to the county government. After a few previous events, Qin Hai and the leaders of the county can be regarded as acquaintances, and they have also walked four or five times to Guo Ming's office, which can be regarded as familiarity.
"Our great hero is here, please take a seat, please take a seat." Guo Ming was in an extremely good mood and made a relaxed joke with Qin Hai.
"County Magistrate Guo teased me again, what kind of hero am I, I have caused trouble for the county." Qin Hai said modestly with a smile.
"Well, it's true that there is no shortage of trouble, but there is also credit. You still don't know the way, you have unknowingly helped us Pingyuan County to make a great contribution. Guo Ming said.
Qin Hai touched his head, he couldn't think of any good things he had done these days. The matter of Qujiang Cement Factory, at least it can't be regarded as "unknowingly", right? As for the other aspects, it seems that it is really impossible to find those that can be called "great achievements".
"County Magistrate Guo, I don't have enough IQ, if you have anything, just tell me directly, don't let me guess the riddle." Qin Hai said.
Guo Mingha smiled and told Qin Hai what Pan Shengjie said to him just now. Qin Hai couldn't react at first, but when he heard that the Japanese planned to transport the waste back to reclaim the sea, he burst out laughing.
"County Magistrate Guo, you don't really believe that pie will fall from the sky, do you?" Qin Hai asked without a big or small face. After so long, he has never put himself in the right position, especially at some critical times, and he will not treat the county magistrate and mayor as cadres if he is not careful.
Guo Ming was a little embarrassed by Qin Hai's words, he was originally on the rise, Qin Hai's words were like a scoop of cold water in the head, which made him very annoyed.
"Xiao Qin, what do you mean by that?" Guo Ming asked with a dark face.
Qin Hai said indignantly: "Kishida, this old devil, is really capable of exploiting loopholes. I didn't pay attention, and I must have let him get a sample of the slag from the steel plant. If I had known this, I should not have taken him to see the slag mountain, or after reading it, I should have let him go out of the house, and not even a single dust would have been taken with him. County Magistrate Guo, I bet with you, this bullshit Green Foundation may be a subsidiary of Fukuoka Kaisha, they are here to take our resources for nothing, and we are still grateful to them. ”
"Resources?" Guo Ming was stunned, and he began to realize that things were not simple.
People who can do it at the level of county magistrate are not fools. If Guo Ming was still a little confused at the beginning, it was only because the media kept advocating Sino-Japanese friendship and the kindness and enthusiasm of the Japanese, which gave him some preconceived delusions. Qin Hai broke like this, Guo Ming naturally returned to normal rationality, yes, nothing to be courteous, either treachery or theft, do the Japanese really have such good intentions?
"Xiao Qin, you make things clear, what the Japanese want is just our waste scum, how can it be a resource?" Guo Ming asked Qin Hai seriously.
Qin Haidao: "County Magistrate Guo, there is a technical problem here. In the past, our Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant only knew how to make iron, and found iron ore in the mountains and began to smelt, resulting in a pile of low-quality scrap iron, leaving a pile of waste residue. As everyone knows, the iron ore in our entire Nord Stream City is poor ore from the perspective of iron content. But these iron ores are actually tantalum and niobium iron ores, in which the most valuable elements are not iron, but tantalum and niobium. In the market, the price of one kilogram of tantalum is equivalent to tens of tons of iron. ”
"You mean, what kind of tantalum and what niobium are in these waste residues?" Guo Ming asked.
Qin Haidao: "I can't be 100% sure of this matter now, in terms of mineral distribution, our Beixi City happens to be in an area rich in tantalum and niobium ore, and most of the iron ore should be tantalum and niobium associated ores." Some time ago, because I was so busy, I didn't have time to analyze the composition of these slags. However, I have talked to Professor Li Linguang about this matter, and he also believes that the slag should be tantalum and niobium slag.
The most powerful evidence is that this little devil named Ichiro Kawashima, if there was no cat in this, he would not have come to offer love in such a hurry. ”
"But......" Guo Ming hesitated. If these slags are really rich in tantalum and niobium as Qin Hai said, then the intentions of the Japanese are very sinister, and Pingyuan County should resolutely refuse to allow the Japanese to transport the slag. But on the other hand, if Qin Hai's guess is wrong, and Pingyuan County unjustifiably accuses the Japanese of goodwill, then the impact will also be very bad. When the time comes, the higher authorities will investigate it, and they will not be able to explain it at all.
Qin Hai saw Guo Ming's thoughts, and he said, "County Magistrate Guo, you don't have to be embarrassed. I'll go back now and ask Professor Li to bring some samples back to the Institute of Engineering for testing, and if the results of the tests confirm my suspicions, then we will have a reasonable reason to reject the Japanese request. What is needed now is to drag it out for a few days, I think County Magistrate Guo should have this way, right? (To be continued......)
