Provincial refining and chemical company is a refining and chemical company established by Nanhai Province and Sinopec according to 50% of the capital contribution, is a large petrochemical company with a pure state-owned background, last year, the annual sales revenue of the provincial refining and chemical industry climbed to a new high again, reaching 20.5 billion, with a total annual profit and tax of more than 2 billion, creating a large amount of tax revenue for the government. The governments at the two levels of the district have always been open to the provincial refining and chemical industry, and the government has tried their best to meet the requirements of the company.

Last year, for example, the Provincial Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. wanted to enclose 50 hectares of land again for enterprise development, and the Nangang District Government helped the Provincial Refinery Co., Ltd. complete the land acquisition work in the shortest possible time to meet the development requirements of the Provincial Refinery & Chemical.

At this moment, Chen Ronggui suddenly thought of the two major investors of the Provincial Refining and Chemical Industry, and the original worry disappeared in an instant, if Chen Xing really dared to let the Provincial Refining and Chemical Industry suspend business for rectification, it was also Chen Xing's order, and it had nothing to do with their Nangang District Government.

Chen Xing didn't know what Chen Ronggui was thinking, and the group walked along the small river in Datou Village for a while, and went up and found that there was a big water pipe connected from the industrial area that was discharging water into the river.

Zhao Shiming and Chen Ronggui and others saw this scene, the two of them were actually not surprised, they had not actually visited Datou Village in person, and today they went deep into the village, which was the first time for the two of them, but Datou Village is known as a cancer village, Zhao Shiming and Chen Ronggui, the leaders of the cadres, just don't have to think about it and know that the pollution situation here is very strict, otherwise it is impossible to cause such a strict situation, but for the petrochemical industry zone that the city attaches great importance to, as well as the petrochemical enterprises that can bring a lot of profit and tax income to the district, The Nangang District Government has always treated the enterprises in the industrial zone as bodhisattvas, and will not embarrass the enterprises for the villagers at all.

Chen Xing instructed the people of the Environmental Protection Bureau to test the sewage discharged from the petrochemical industry zone on the spot, and Zeng Pingzi, director of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, had no objection to Chen Xing's instructions, and asked the people below to quickly take water samples.

Because the detailed test results could not come out on the spot, Chen Xing went around from the edge of the petrochemical industrial zone, and entered the industrial zone, and many villagers followed, forming a very strange scene at the scene, a group of leading cadres followed by a large number of villagers, as if the leaders were leading the villagers to fight.

"Mayor Chen, the detailed test report will not come out until three days later, but an approximate number can be measured in about 20 minutes, and you can see if the pollution exceeds the standard." Zeng Ping, who was walking beside Chen Xing, took advantage of Zhao Shiming and Chen Guirong's lack of attention, and whispered in Chen Xing's ear, he actually didn't want to offend Zhao Shiming and Chen Guirong in person, but Zeng Ping inevitably wanted to slap Chen Xing, people like Zhao Shiming and Chen Guirong who had a cover on top of them might be resistant to Chen Xing, but he belonged to someone who had no backer, and he wished he could climb Chen Xing, even if Chen Xing's current situation was not very good, but he was still optimistic about Chen Xing, Li Haocheng was only the executive deputy after all, Chen Xing occupied the general trend, and he wanted to suppress Li Haocheng step by step, Boiling frogs in warm water can completely suppress Li Haocheng's arrogance sooner or later, especially after the executive meeting of the municipal government a few days ago, Zeng Ping's confidence in Chen Xing has greatly increased.

Hearing Zeng Ping's words, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, twenty minutes is not a long time, if there is pollution, the enterprises that discharge sewage can be closed for rectification.

In fact, anyone with long eyes can see that the sewage like ink must be polluted and does not need to be tested at all, but this matter always has to go through the form, and the test results of the Environmental Protection Bureau are more convincing than what they say.

Because of Chen Xing's arrival, the heads of the Working Committee and the Management Committee of the Petrochemical Industry Zone hurriedly greeted them, including the heads of several enterprises, and Wu Desheng, Secretary of the Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of the Industrial Zone, introduced Chen Xing one by one.

Chen Xing didn't greet everyone much, Wu Desheng asked yì to visit the industrial zone, Chen Xing also refused, making Wu Desheng unclear So, seeing that Zhao Shiming and Chen Ronggui both had a strained face, Wu Desheng was even more surprised.

Chen Xing walked directly to the water pipe that extended to the outside of the industrial area to discharge sewage into the river, and followed the water pipe until he walked to the sewage treatment pool of a factory.

To Chen Xing's surprise, this sewage treatment tank was not owned by the Provincial Oil Refining Company, although the Provincial Oil Refining Company was closest to the river in Datou Village, but the water pipe was not connected from their sewage treatment tank, but a chemical plant next to the Provincial Oil Refinery.

Wu Desheng didn't know that Chen Xing was here for pollution, and he also introduced to Chen Xing that the nylon 66 production line put into production by Dongcheng Chemical filled the gap in Nanhai Province, and Dongcheng Chemical is a world-renowned nylon manufacturer.

"Director Wu, this water pipe from the sewage treatment tank has been connected to the river outside the industrial zone, and the sewage is constantly discharged every day, do you know?" Chen Xing interrupted Wu Desheng's words and asked coldly.

Wu Desheng's face froze, and at this time, he quietly turned his head to look at the expressions of Zhao Shiming and Chen Ronggui, and Wu Desheng realized that Chen Xing suddenly came today, not to inspect the petrochemical industrial zone, but to ask the teacher.

"Mayor Chen, the sewage of enterprises is treated before discharge." Wu Desheng responded in a low voice, the confidence is not very sufficient, these enterprises in the industrial zone, Wu Desheng knows the roots, which companies are strictly in accordance with the contract in environmental protection investment, which companies are cutting corners, only shouting a boo, Wu Desheng is clear in his heart, but he also chooses to turn a blind eye.

"Treated and then discharged? So let me ask you, is the treated sewage up to standard? Chen Xing stared at Wu Desheng.

Wu Desheng, who was looked at by Chen Xing, flickered his eyes, and in the face of Chen Xing's aggressive questioning, Wu Desheng obviously didn't dare to say that he was up to standard, otherwise he would only be unable to get off the stage later.

Standing next to Wu Desheng, Zhou Yi, general manager of Dongcheng Chemical Nangang Branch, who originally wanted to introduce the situation of the company to Chen Xing, was also embarrassed at this time, and secretly said in his heart that he was unlucky, and he knew that he was hiding in the office, so that the vice president of the company came out to deal with it, as the general manager of the branch, Zhou Yi knew whether the sewage treatment after production in the factory was up to standard, the company's production line has been expanding in the past two years, and the production capacity is improving, but the sewage treatment tank is designed according to the first phase of production capacity. There is no way to cope with the increased sewage treatment capacity after the increase in production capacity in the later stage, and a lot of sewage is discharged directly without treatment.

The reason why there is no corresponding improvement in the treatment capacity of the sewage treatment tank, the key is that this investment is not small, the expansion of the sewage treatment pool, the upgrading of equipment, etc., at least hundreds of millions of dollars will be invested, in order to save this money, the company simply discharged the sewage directly, anyway, it is not them who are affected.

After a while, the test results from the Environmental Protection Bureau came out, although it was not a detailed report, but just an approximate number was enough to prove that the sewage was exceeded, Chen Xing handed the simple report to Zhou Yi, "General Manager Zhou, take a look for yourself." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yi just glanced away and looked away, his face did not change much, Chen Xing knew that Zhou Yi, as the person in charge of the company, must have known about this situation for a long time.

"General Manager Zhou, I don't care if you don't know about this situation before, now I only have two requests to you: first, immediately stop discharging sewage; Second, when the expansion and upgrading of your sewage treatment tank is completed, and the water discharged to the outside world is up to standard, you will continue to start production. Chen Xing made a decision almost without hesitation.

"Mayor Chen, ...... you" Zhou Yi was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only turn his attention to Wu Desheng and Zhao Shiming, Chen Ronggui and others for help.

"Mayor Chen, are you too hasty to make this decision? Do you want to talk to other leaders in the city before making a decision? Chen Ronggui stood up boldly.

"Why, does District Chief Chen think that I, the mayor, don't even have the power to make this decision?"

"No, I didn't mean that." Chen Ronggui hurriedly denied it, avoiding Chen Xing's gaze, Chen Ronggui explained, "Every day this company stops production will cause huge losses, Mayor Chen, are you thinking about it?" ”

"We should think about the enterprise, but don't we need to think about the people if we think about the enterprise? Can you ignore the lives and deaths of the common people? District Chief Chen, do you have no understanding of the situation in Datou Village in your district over the years, or do you know about it but don't even bother to take care of it? As long as it is not the family and friends of you cadres who live here, you will not care, regardless of the life or death of the villagers, right? Chen Xing held his breath and almost got angry at Chen Ronggui on the spot, and the latter sentence was even more questioning the cadres in Nangang District.

"Mayor Chen, you ...... I don't agree with what you say, the cadres in our district don't think like that. Chen Guirong's face turned blue and red for a while, and he denied it.

Zhao Shiming, secretary of the district party committee, stood aside and kept silent, in this matter, he and Chen Ronggui are advancing and retreating together, the two camps are different, but the purpose in this matter is the same, they are all to safeguard the interests of the petrochemical industry zone, but at this moment Zhao Shiming did not dare to stand up in solidarity with Chen Ronggui, Chen Xing was angry, and Zhao Shiming did not want to touch his mold.
