It didn't take long for all the officials in the city to come to the conference room, including Mayor Wang Hongliang, Executive Vice Mayor Ma Muyuan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Lei Guangcheng, Propaganda Minister Liu Zhengfang, etc., these people Xu Yang knew, but it was the first time for Xu Yang to sit in the same conference room with them.

Guo Shuqing didn't say too much nonsense, explained the purpose of the meeting straight to the point, and then asked Xu Yang to introduce the relevant situation to everyone. Xu Yang was quite nervous in his heart, but his face was forced to be calm, and he used the Spring and Autumn brushwork to introduce the problems of the RX project to everyone, although the opinions on both sides were explained, but the sense of proportion gave people a hint that the RX project did have serious hidden dangers.

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he left the venue, Guo Shuqing watched the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office close the door of the conference room, then cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, if it weren't for the Blue Sky Organization to do such a science popularization in Yiping City, we wouldn't have known that Daqin's RX project would have such a big risk. Now that the masses have been talking about it, they are asking our city to make an attitude clear, let's discuss it and see what should be done about it. ”

Guo Shuqing's words have actually shown tendencies. He directly claimed that the RX was a huge risk, not that it was controversial, and that the two claims had different effects. In this matter, Guo Shuqing and Xu Yang have a subtle tacit understanding, Guo Shuqing wants to realize his idea of "de-industrialization" in Yiping through this kind of thing, while Xu Yang is purely for the purpose of venting his anger. Xu Yang's words were somewhat slurred, and when he arrived at Guo Shuqing, he was a poor dagger.

Other city officials think differently than Guo Shuqing, having worked at the grassroots level for many years and are well aware of the importance of a large-scale project to local economic development. Regarding Guo Shuqing's idea of "de-industrialization", everyone has always been in defiance of yang and yin, and on the surface praised Guo Shuqing's advanced thinking. Behind his back, they are laughing at him for not eating fireworks in the world. Previously, Guo Shuqing only put forward a concept, and everyone was happy to perfunctory with him, but this time, Guo Shuqing pointed to the Daqin RX project, and everyone couldn't be calm anymore.

Ma Muyuan was the first official to negotiate with Daqin Group about the implementation of the RX project. This large project, with an investment of tens of billions, once became an important political achievement of Ma Muyuan. Hearing Guo Shuqing's words, Ma Muyuan frowned and said, "Secretary Guo, I think we still need to understand the situation again, right?" These propaganda organized by Blue Sky are somewhat exaggerated. The RX project was subject to an environmental assessment before it began, and the environmental protection authorities did not show that it was so risky, so how could we just take the Blue Sky side of the story? Think there's something wrong with this project? ”

"The environmental protection department is also based on political performance, and some of the assessments are probably just going through the motions, right? Hasn't Mayor Ma heard of such a thing? Guo Shu said lightly.

Ma Muyuan's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "This project is really different......

Mayor Wang Hongliang said: "I agree with Muyuan's statement that perhaps in some other projects, the Environmental Protection Bureau has had some flaws in one way or another out of human considerations, but specifically in the RX project." I think the EPA is still more responsible. In particular, Daqin Group has always been very self-disciplined in environmental protection, and it is unlikely to relax its requirements on this project. ”

"Mayor Wang. You have to take into account that our country's environmental protection standards are different from those of the West, maybe according to our environmental protection standards, this project is qualified, but compared to Western standards, this project is not qualified. Let's not forget the lesson of the pesticide factory in Bhopal, that project is not legal in the United States. But it is legal in India. Liu Zhengfang retorted.

The Pesticide Factory Leak in Bhopal was the most famous environmental accident in the world in the mid-80s, and the youngest of these people here is 40 years old, and they are all deeply impressed by this incident. The pesticide factory is an American company, and its products are banned in the United States. So the U.S. company moved it to a third-world country with lower regulatory standards, and it caused a human tragedy.

Liu Zhengfang cited this example to show that the security standards of third world countries are much lower than those of European and American countries, and that projects that fall within the security scope of third world countries may not be considered safe in developed countries. The Blue Sky organization represents the developed countries, while China belongs to the third world countries, so the problem of disagreement between the Blue Sky organization and the Daqin group is explained.

Guo Shuqing took over Liu Zhengfang's words and said: "Minister Liu's words are worth our deep thought, our country is a third world country, which is true. But we can't demand ourselves according to the environmental protection standards of third world countries, even if the country has to temporarily accept some lower standards because of such and such difficulties, for us, since we know the international advanced standards, we should consciously use this advanced standards to demand ourselves. We resolutely do not follow the old path of pollution first and then treatment. The lives of Chinese are not cheaper than those of foreigners, so why should we accept things that are unacceptable abroad? ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, so that Wang Hongliang, Ma Muyuan and others couldn't find a reason to refute it. When the economy is underdeveloped, it is an unspoken rule to sacrifice some environmental and security interests for the sake of economic development, and officials everywhere do this, and Yiping City has done this in the past. But after all, this kind of thing can't be put on the table, otherwise once it is recorded, when there is any environmental accident in the future, the person who said such things will be held responsible. Therefore, as soon as Guo Shuqing sang this high-profile song, Wang Hongliang and others found that they couldn't say anything more.

"So, Secretary Guo, what is your opinion?" Wang Hongliang simply kicked the ball back to Guo Shuqing and let Guo Shuqing express his position.

Guo Shuqing waved his hand and said, "Negotiate with Daqin Group to stop the construction of the RX project." ”

"It can't be!" Ma Muyuan couldn't help it anymore and blurted out.

"Why can't it be?" Guo Shuqing asked.

Ma Muyuan said: "The construction of Daqin's RX project is nearing completion, and tens of billions of investments have been invested, so let them stop construction at this time, how can they accept it?" ”

Guo Shuqing said: "They can relocate, which place is willing to accept it, where can they move." ”

Ma Muyuan smiled bitterly: "Secretary Guo, this is really not something that can be done as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, 30% of the construction investment of chemical enterprises is civil engineering investment, which is impossible to move, and nearly 40% of the equipment investment is not detachable, those large tank towers, and a large number of pipelines, may be disassembled at all, if you want to move away, 70% of the investment will be wasted, which is nearly 7 billion yuan of funds." ”

"With such a big loss?" Guo Shuqing was also a little dumbfounded, he originally planned to propose to compensate for the losses of the Daqin Group by the finance, but now that he heard that the loss may be as high as 7 billion, where would he dare to speak.

Ma Muyuan said: "This is only an obvious loss. Daqin's RX project was originally scheduled to be put into operation next year, if they are required to relocate now, they move to other cities to start construction again, at least it will take more than three years, and the value of these times is at least 100 billion for Daqin Group. ”

"Yiping should not be responsible for this kind of loss." Lei Guangcheng, deputy secretary, interjected, "Daqin Group did not consider safety issues when building this project, and the construction of the project is only more than 20 kilometers away from the city, which in itself is a violation of international regulations." I've heard people say that foreign RX projects should be at least 100 kilometers away from urban areas, and Daqin Group is engaged in chemical industry, don't they understand this? ”

"Yes, I've heard about it, too." Liu Zhengfang echoed.

"If that's the case, then the responsibility is not on Yiping." Guo Shuqing said, "It was the Daqin Group that violated the rules first, and we are just correcting this mistake." It is already very good that they did not hold them accountable for building such a high-risk project so close to the city without regard for the safety of the people of Yiping. As for the loss caused by this, it is entirely their responsibility. ”

"I've heard that the RX project should be 100 kilometers away from the city." Ma Muyuan said, "However, it seems that the source of all these claims is from the Blue Sky Organization, and we have not heard of such regulations in the past, do you want to verify this?" ”

"Yes, let the Science and Technology Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau find out after the meeting." Guo Shuqing said, "Now let's vote first, if there are indeed violations of the Daqin RX project, should we stop it immediately?" ”

Wang Hongliang and Ma Muyuan glanced at each other, and were about to say something, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the window. The meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee is on the 7th floor of the office building, and you can see the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee compound from the glass window. Everyone turned their heads to look down, only to see that outside the gate of the municipal party committee compound, thousands of citizens had gathered at some point, and the crowd was holding a large-character banner, and some people were holding placards in their hands, shouting slogans excitedly around the gate.

Without waiting for Guo Shuqing to tell someone to understand, the secretary hurriedly pushed the door and came in. He walked to Guo Shuqing's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in Guo Shuqing's ear. Guo Shuqing's face changed suddenly, he raised his head and said to everyone:

"Comrades, now that things are out of our control, we are afraid that we will not have time for any more arguments. Those people outside the door are here to demand that the municipal party committee immediately stop the RX project, and if we can't make a decision immediately, it is very likely to cause a serious mass incident!
