Chapter 392: The Wind of a Great Power
As soon as the words fell, news media reporters from China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan applauded, and many European reporters also applauded, appreciating Nie Zhenbang's flexibility and resourcefulness. The reporter who asked the question also knew that he was not good, but at the moment he shrank back in a gloomy manner.
At this time, an East Filter reporter raised his hand, and Nie Zhenbang frowned, for these widows, Nie Zhenbang was the least impressed.
Influenced by his grandfather since he was a child, Nie Zhenzhen Bang can be said to be a little angry, but after all, he is not an ordinary person, even if he has no good feelings, he will not show it, and then pointed to this East Filter reporter and said: "It's just you."
The reporter stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Excellency, I am the reporter of the Yomiuri Shimbun in the branch office, Kojiro Watanabe......"
Before he finished speaking, Nie Zhenzhen Bang interrupted Watanabe Kojiro's words, his face became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the spoken English of the Dongzhu people at your level?" The correct way to translate Huaxia is Chana, respect a country, respect a person, the minimum etiquette is to speak accurately and accurately, and, if you are not good at English, you can completely speak Chinese. If all the people in Dongzhu have such an attitude as you, please be sorry, I will refuse to answer your question. ”
Nie Zhenbang was also pretending to be stupid, at this time, he knew that this word was not in English, but Dong Filter's discriminatory name for Huaxia. But Nie Zhenbang didn't say it. Speaking out, it is also an impact on the image of the national family.
Watanabe Kojiro's face turned red at the moment, and he looked at Nie Zhenbang resentfully, and came again: "Please apologize, my Chinese is not very good." May I ask Mayor Nie, I have also read the report you issued. As far as I know, your government has not signed a clear agreement with Wilgang and the other three companies in advance that they must carry out strict sewage treatment. Now, are you tearing up the contract by doing this? And I think that these are all normal sewage discharges belonging to an enterprise, and there is nothing about it. ”
Another guy who secretly changed his thoughts, Nie Zhen Zhenbang cursed in his heart, these slaves are really servile, and now they are holding the big legs of the American master and not letting go. As everyone knows, a cetaceous agreement has set the East Filter back ten years or even ten years.
Immediately, Nie Zhenbang also said in a deep voice: "Mr. Watanabe, I personally think that you are misleading. First of all, an enterprise must have a sense of social responsibility. I believe that the sewage facilities of the three companies in their home countries must be very advanced. If there is no clear agreement, does it mean that their companies in the United States and companies in other countries emit this way, and if the above three companies can be treated equally, I promise to let them resume production immediately and compensate for the damages. As for your later sentence, it's even funnier. Normal sewage, the entire contaminated area, without any biological signs. Is this also normal? Is it normal that the originally clear river water has turned into black water? If you think it's normal, I'm willing to fund the relocation of all three companies to your country. I wonder what Mr. Watanabe thinks? ”
Nie Zhendu's words are sharp and sharp, giving people a sense of strength. These are completely different concepts from the previous way of harmony of the Chinese government. In Nie Zhenbang, these foreigners saw the demeanor of a big country.
At this time, a European reporter stood up and said: "Dear Mr. Mayor, I am a reporter from the German Road Transit Agency, I am shocked to read your report, this is a crime, may I ask what kind of measures you will take in the future for the three companies?" ”
Nie Zhenbang's eyes looked at the main table next to him, and Mr. Yun's eyes also happened to look at this matter, which had not been discussed in advance On this occasion, Nie Zhenbang did not dare to make the decision. Seeing Mr. Yun's affirmative and appreciative gaze, the meaning conveyed was also obvious, Nie Zhenbang could express his position on behalf of the country.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang pondered, and he and the general manager also said some things about the follow-up issues, but it was not very systematic. At this time, if you want to make a rash statement, Nie Zhenbang should also be cautious. This is the heaviest test.
After pondering for a while, Nie Zhenbang stretched out three fingers and said: "My request is very simple, first, Wei Gang and the other three enterprise headquarters should publish an apology, as a responsible enterprise, there should be no such framing and slander." Second, the three companies must immediately renovate their sewage systems, issue detailed treatment plans, and pass the acceptance of our environmental protection department, and each company must pay a fine of 300 million yuan as the cost of pollution treatment and the compensation of the local people. Third, the U.S. government and the U.S. Embassy must apologize for the adverse consequences caused by the protests. ”
When the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, the first one, the second one is acceptable, although the fine is three times more than the previous one, it is also acceptable. The sewage system, Nie Zhenbang is right, this is a necessary supporting facility. As for the third one, that's where everyone marvels. This mayor of Nie Zhenbang is really too bold. It is conceivable that the White House will absolutely ignore such a request.
As soon as the words fell, some reporters from the United States, some reporters who regarded themselves as citizens of the superpowers, immediately shouted: "No, this is impossible, we are a superpower, the only superpower in the world, Your Excellency the Mayor, are you acting for Liangxi City or for Huaxia, can I think this is a provocation to our great United States?" You're going to cause war. We cannot, and will not, apologize to any country or region. ”
Nie Zhenbang frowned and looked at Mr. Yun, but at this moment, Nie Zhenbang saw Mr. Yun nodding slightly. I was reassured. Immediately, a momentum also erupted from Nie Zhenbang's body, and he looked at the reporter and said, "Excuse me, can you represent the US government and President Clinwell?" ”
After a pause, Nie Zhenbang said again: "Here, let me reiterate, it doesn't matter who I represent on behalf of the country, whether it is Liangxi City or Liangxi City, this is our attitude, as a big country, the dignity of a big country cannot be violated." True, as you say, the United States is the only superpower in this world. However, when President Clintwell directly questioned him without even conducting an investigation, I thought that this decision must have been hasty and irresponsible. It turns out. You are being deceived. A big country, especially a superpower, should have the mind to dare to act, and if the US government doesn't even have the grace to do so, I am disappointed. This is not how a great power should behave. Well, that's all for today's press conference. Thank you, friends of the press. ”
The next day, the day after the press conference, the newspapers all over the world, the front page headlines, were exactly the same. Although the titles are different, the core content is only one big country style. In the article, it not only indicates the rise of China, a great power, but also speculates whether the attitude of the superpower, the United States, really has the demeanor of a great power.
In the afternoon of the press conference. Hamilton, ambassador of the US Embassy in China, personally visited Hu Yunlong, head of the Foreign Affairs Department. He also proposed that Huaxia and the U.S. government jointly form a special delegation to inspect three U.S.-funded enterprises in Liangxi City. The tone is much more low-key than the previous anti-requisition. This also shows that the attitude of the US government has changed.
Naturally, Mr. Yun would not refuse such a thing, so he readily agreed to the US request, and immediately organized environmental protection experts from well-known domestic universities such as Huaqing University and Jingcheng University to rush to Liangxi City. The US delegation will fly directly from the United States to Jiangzhou City.
Nie Zhenbang, as the representative of the Chinese officials, and the US ambassador Hamilton returned to Liangxi City.
This time, the efficiency of the Americans was very fast, and the next afternoon, the American special team rushed to Jiangzhou City, and after stationing in Liangxi overnight, they rested for a night after jet lag.
Early the next morning, the joint expert group of China and the United States drove into the three companies. After seeing the scene, Hamilton also deliberately stepped forward to take a look, endured the smell at the sewage outlet, and carefully looked at the cement troughs on both sides. Even a layman like Hamilton can see that there is no trace of re-creation at the outfall. Look at the black water below the embankment.
Hamilton was also shaken.
The expert group also issued an objective and fair report, but the three companies did not carry out any pollution treatment, and all industrial wastewater and waste residue were directly discharged. It is estimated that the downstream loss will exceed 3 billion yuan, and the subsequent pollution control will be a long process.
Upon hearing the news, Hamilton immediately reported the results back home. The next day, American newspapers and Chinese newspapers simultaneously published public apology letters from the three US-funded companies, and at the same time, senior managers of the three companies rushed to Liangxi City to discuss the follow-up matters.
What is most shocking and concerning is the issue of the US administration's apology. Originally, all the people of the country thought that it was impossible to get the Yankees to apologize. However, Nie Zhenbang is very confident that his run, if Clinwell's brain is not stupid, he will definitely apologize.
Sure enough, three days later, the US government finally reacted, and Clinwell sent a telegram of apology to the Chinese State Council.
Seeing this, Yun Chaoli nodded and smiled slightly, and then said to the secretary next to him: "Shangjin, you can arrange for this telegram to be published in the original text of Wenjia news media such as "Hope Daily" and Huaxia TV Station. ”
Hearing the words of the general manager, Qian Shangjin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
