Zhou Guofu came to Qingping's tungsten mine.

On the day Meng Jinxing went to Ge's house to meet his parents, when he talked with Ge Yunzhuang in the study about grassroots work, he talked about the Qingping tungsten mine.

Ge Yunxiang spent some time in the Changfeng Mountains in his early years, and knew that tungsten ore was mined by the collective in the Xiawan area in the 70s, and the mining stopped in the early 80s, and Xiawan became a quarry.

Meng Jinxing mentioned that there may be a vein in Qingping, he thinks that it may be very high, and when Zhou Guofu visited him, he talked about it, and said that there is a concentrator in Qingping that is just about to expand its shares, and Zhou Guofu may wish to consider this matter.

Zhou Guofu made his intentions clear, but Meng Jinxing did not express his position immediately.

On the night of the dinner with his classmates in Yanjing, although Meng Jinxing was in a bad mood, he was not in a blurred mind.

At that time, there was a classmate who worked in the Mineral Development Department of the Ministry of Land and Resources, and Meng Jinxing chatted with him about the tungsten mine for a short time, and it was in these more than 30 minutes that he got two pieces of information.

First, the Mineral Exploitation and Development Rights Reform is to be carried out, and the document has reached the final stage of discussion, which will be published within the year and piloted in six provinces across the country.

Second, the environmental protection of tungsten mining cannot be ignored, which involves not only the waste residue and wastewater created by smelting, but also the landslides caused by a large number of indiscriminate mining and excavation.

It was the second of these two pieces of information that led to the introduction of the first.

When Tong Kai and other experts were in Qingping, he specifically consulted them on this matter, and the conclusions he came to made him stunned.

Experts believe that in order to prevent pollution, the only way to completely close the mine and seal the mine under the current low level of rare earth development technology in China is to completely close the mine.

To a certain extent, if the environmental problems caused by tungsten mining are not paid attention to in advance, it will be an act of grabbing resources with future generations.

This conclusion immediately put him in a dilemma.

Knowing that there are ore veins and not developing them, in the long run, the pressure from all levels of the city and county can be imagined, and the idea of one body and two wings will also fold one wing, and in the near future, the huge compensation owed by the mine has become a dead letter.

If he insists on mining, then if the technical problem is not solved, it means that the health of future generations will be exchanged for today's money, which is definitely an act of killing chickens and taking eggs, and he is tantamount to doing a thing that does not change the soup but not the medicine.

In just three or four days, before he had time to come up with a countermeasure and report to Xia Minghan, Zhou Guofu suddenly visited and proposed to invest in Mao's Mine, which made him hesitate.

Zhou Guofu saw that there was a problem from Meng Jinxing's hesitation, and said with a generous smile: "If this matter makes you embarrassed, we can sit down and talk slowly according to the requirements set by Changfeng County." ”

Meng Jinxing knew that Zhou Guofu had misunderstood, thinking that he wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price.

So, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou misunderstood." I went to Yanjing a few days ago and learned about some things that I didn't know about in the past, so I know that the environmental protection issues involved behind tungsten mining are very prominent. To tell you the truth, the reason why Mao's Mine wants to transform and expand its shares is also because of the last resort caused by pollution. ”

"Hehe, be careful, are you a little worried?" Zhou Guofu laughed loudly, "There are so many mountains in the country, and there are countless tungsten mines of all sizes, and I haven't heard of any city that has big problems because of tungsten ore, right?" ”

Meng Jinxing's pupils tightened suddenly, and he said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm not joking with you, nor am I using this to raise your investment goals. If you think my words are alarmist, you might as well go to the tungsten mineral fields in China to see if there are a lot of problems such as indiscriminate cutting of forests, soil erosion, river water pollution, etc., as I said. ”

Zhou Guofu didn't expect him to look at this issue so seriously, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "The fact that the state allows mining proves that these are not big problems." Even if there is such a situation as you mentioned, it should be a very isolated existence, and it can't be generalized, right? ”

Meng Jinxing said: "As far as I know, the state has been brewing a new mineral development management policy, which is aimed at the chaos of tungsten ore development. Therefore, it is not a question of whether it is a big deal or not, but a question of how many people at the grassroots level are willing to reflect the current situation in the face of regional interests. ”

Zhou Guofu's expression was a little stiff.

He originally thought that since Ge Yunxiang took the initiative to mention this matter to him, he should have reached an agreement with Meng Jinxing, as long as he came to show his face and settle the matter, he could let his subordinates deal with the investment matters later.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jinxing suddenly threw out this environmental protection issue, what was his intention?

Zhou Guofu speculated on Meng Jinxing's motives with his own thinking, and Meng Jinxing took out two magazines from his bookcase and handed them to Zhou Guofu, "Uncle Zhou, if you really want to invest in Mao's Mine, I suggest you take a look at these two academic magazines first. ”

Zhou Guofu took the magazine and found that it was all foreign academic publications, and immediately smiled: "You bully me so coarsely, these tadpole texts, it knows me, I don't know it!" ”

Meng Jinxing pointed to Zhou Guofu's assistant, "I'll leave it to your assistant to solve the translation problem, you are in a big business, and there must be many such talents in the company." ”

Zhou Guofu raised his eyebrows noncommittally, handed the magazine to the assistant, looked at Meng Jinxing and said: "As for me, I like to be cool in business, which has a lot to do with my background as a soldier." So, be careful, you give your uncle a word, will you open this mine or not? ”

Zhou Guofu's overlord attitude made Meng Jinxing a headache.

"I can't decide right now." He started Tai Chi, "I need to ask the county party committee and county zhèngfǔ for instructions, and in addition, the final report of the Provincial Geological Survey Institute has not yet come out, and there is no final determination whether there is really a vein or not." ”

Zhou Guofu snorted lightly and said, "Be careful, you are not real!" If Lao Ge hadn't told me that Mao's Mine was going to expand its shares and open tungsten mines, would I have come to you and asked? You don't want to keep this business for Chuangtian again, do you? ”

Meng Jinxing didn't expect Zhou Guofu to have such an understanding.

He shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhou, I am young and inexperienced, so I have not made a full in-depth and comprehensive assessment of the matter of the ore vein. So, it's my fault! But for now, I really think that the mining needs to be considered in the long run, rather than trying to save the fat for anyone, and I ask for your understanding. In any case, we can't earn money for the health of future generations, right? ”

Listening to Meng Jinxing's words about this, Zhou Guofu knew that there was no need to talk about this matter today, so he immediately said goodbye with a smirk, and asked Meng Jinxing not to worry about this matter.

But as soon as he got downstairs, he made a direct call to Ge Yunxiang.

Meng Jinxing realized that this matter must be reported to Xia Minghan immediately, and he must also explain it to Ge Yunxiang.

He also hung up Hu Yunshu's phone as soon as Zhou Guofu left, but Hu Yunshu quickly told him that Ge Yunxiang was talking on the phone and asked him to call later.

He had no choice but to report to Xia Minghan first.

Xia Minghan was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and Meng Jinxing was annoyed, feeling that he was too negligent and only thinking about solving the problems of Mao's mine reasonably, but ignoring more important long-term problems.

He remembered what Xiao Yunshan said in Fengshan at that time, "boldly assume and verify carefully", "don't change the shell and pollution will continue to happen", it can be seen that in the face of big problems, a person's experience and experience can still play a great role, no matter what kind of psychology Xiao Yunshan said this sentence, it is enough to prove that he is much worse than Xiao Yunshan.

Xia Minghan thought for about ten minutes before he said briefly: "I know, let's let this go in advance." ”

Without any attitude, Xia Minghan hung up the phone, Meng Jinxing was full of heart, and called Hu Yunshu again, this time, Hu Yunshu handed over the phone to Ge Yunxiang.

Meng Jinxing told the truth, and reported to Ge Yunxiang the information he knew, as well as the advice of experts, and his own views on this matter.

After hearing this, Ge Yunxiang said: "I know about this, Lao Zhou called me." You don't have to be anxious, when the report comes out, your county will come up with an opinion first. ”

Two phone calls were made, and he just got a chance to show his attitude, but as for the result, it was unpredictable.

He was frustrated and called Cai Kuangzheng to drink together.

On the second floor of Guanghan, smoke curled up, and on the table in front of Meng Jinxing and Cai Kuang, the hot pot soup base rolled out red bubbles.

“…… So scary? After listening to Meng Jinxing's words, Cai Kuangzheng opened his mouth, and a piece of lung slice was clamped on the chopsticks and forgot to put it in.

Meng Jinxing nodded and said: "Cadmium pollution is an example in front of us, this kind of harm is not in one day or two days, but in one or two years, or even ten or twenty years!" If I don't think about danger, when the day comes, the people will point to my backbone and scold me. ”

"I'm afraid of this kind of thing, you can't stand it alone!" Cai Kuangzheng said, "Boss Weng will shout big investment at the small meeting every day, and the whole city will be mobilized." Qingping found such a treasure, is he willing to let it go? He wants to be willing, I write the word Cai upside down! ”

"That's what I'm worried about!" Meng Jinxing said, "Changfeng has been poor for a long time, the people are poor and afraid, and there is a chance to make money, and few people are willing to let go of this opportunity." I told them that twenty or thirty years later, they might regret their actions today, you see that even people like Zhou Guofu who have seen the world don't think so, let alone the ordinary people in the mountains? If it weren't for the closure of the Mao's Mine, although the people of Qingping felt that the sewage had an impact, who would have known that it would kill them many years later? ”

He sighed and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want!" ”

Cai Kuangzheng wordlessly helped him fill his wine glass, and then raised his glass and drank another glass with him.

Meng Jinxing drank glass after glass, silent and did not say a word, for the first time since work, he felt the fierce collision between thought and reality, bringing him pressure like a mountain.

This kind of pressure makes him breathless, and it also makes it difficult for him to move, and he even thinks why can't he be a short-sighted person and take care of the present first?

At nine o'clock in the evening, he was carried back to the county by Cai Kuangzheng and fell on the bed.
