Chapter 920: Evil Neighbors
After returning from Zhang Weizheng's office, Zeng Yi received the latest progress on the development of Jianda Manufacturing Company, and the person in charge of Jianda will be able to return to China today, and will hold a press conference in the internal conference room of Jianda Company tonight to answer questions about the EIA report.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Zeng Yi changed into casual clothes, and he was going to go to the press conference site of Jianda Manufacturing Company to see what Gulang Group would do this time.
As soon as I got out of the office, I ran into Wang Hongyi, Wang Hongyi said: "Director, I plan to go to Jianda Company in the evening." ”
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "That's right, then let's go together!" ”
Only then did Wang Hongyi know that Zeng Yi was also going, so he asked, "Do you want to make an appointment with the lawyer from the Hesheng community?" Wang Hongyi meant that if the person in charge of Jianda Company was talking nonsense to reporters, it happened that the lawyer was very familiar with the EIA report, so he could refute it on the spot.
Zeng Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, Jian Da is holding a press conference, not going to court!" ”
Wang Hongyi didn't say anything anymore, he followed Zeng Yi downstairs together, and said that this press conference of Jianda Company, just go over and see it yourself, why should Director Zeng go in person. Director Zeng's appearance, if it is seen by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be clear to tell others that the matter of the lawsuit filed by the residents of Hesheng Community is strongly supported by you Director Zeng behind the scenes?
Could it be that Director Zeng can't sit still now?
Wang Hongyi didn't understand Zeng Yi's plan, so naturally he couldn't understand the reason why Zeng Yi went to the Jianda press conference, and he seemed a little worried.
The reason why Zeng Yi has not made direct contact with Jian Da for a long time is that after waiting for Gu Lang and them to take further action, they will launch a targeted counterattack, and now Jian Da is going to hold a press conference, it is obvious that Gu Lang and they have already made up their minds and launched actions, at this time, of course Zeng Yi has to go to the scene to take a look, so as to find out the real intentions of the other party.
After a casual bite to eat on the street, the two went to the Jianda Manufacturing Company.
At the door of Jianda's company, it was still crowded with people at this time. Reporters from all walks of life have surrounded the entrance of the factory, and the residents of the Hesheng community opposite heard that the CEO of Jianda Company was going to hold a press conference, and they also came to join in the fun, wanting to know what Jianda Company would do, and they wanted to know whether it would be effective to win the lawsuit.
After receiving the briefing, the traffic patrol police have come to the scene to maintain order, so as not to block the road again, at this time it is the rush hour after work, and the traffic flow from the high-tech zone back to the urban area is very large, if the road is blocked. The consequences are unimaginable.
Wang Hongyi saw the situation here from afar. He didn't drive the car over. Instead, I found a place to park the car first, and then sat in the car with Zeng Yi and waited for the start of the press conference of Jianda Company.
It wasn't until dark that there was progress on the Jianda side, and two black Mercedes sedans were escorted by factory security. The crowd that passed through the door entered the factory.
After another 20 minutes, the security guards of the factory began to check the IDs of the reporters at the gate and let people in one after another to attend the press conference.
It didn't take long for all the reporters at the door to basically go in. However, the security guards refused to let the residents in, and they only asked the residents to choose five representatives to enter, and the others either went back and waited, or waited at the factory gate.
Zeng Yi saw that it was almost there, so he got out of the car and walked over with Wang Hongyi. In front of the security guards, Wang Hongyi showed his work card.
The security guards were taken aback at first, and then watched Zeng Yi and Wang Hongyi walk in, they didn't dare to stop it, but they couldn't stop it. If you stop you, the other party may be on official duty.
According to the instructions, Zeng Yi and the others found the conference room of Jianda Company, where the media who had arrived earlier had set up all kinds of long guns and short cannons, and all aimed at the rostrum in front of the conference room, just waiting for the press conference to start. Those reporters who came in late and did not occupy a vantage point simply sat on the floor under the rostrum with their equipment, and rushed to the question session when they were ready to do so.
Zeng Yi looked at it, then went to the back and found an inconspicuous position to sit down.
"These reporters are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Wang Hongyi couldn't help but complain while sitting, but he kept his voice low, the scene was full of reporters, if this was heard, maybe Wang Hongyi would have to appear in the newspaper tomorrow.
Zeng Yi just smiled faintly, then sat there with his legs crossed, quietly waiting for the start of the press conference.
After another twenty minutes, no one entered the conference room again, and everyone turned their eyes to the door of the conference room, thinking that it was time for the person in charge of Jianda's company to show up.
"Click!"
The door to the conference room was opened again, and the first person to appear was a security guard.
After the security guard, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a well-cut suit, very imposing, and behind the middle-aged man, was a tall, blonde foreigner.
"Director, the person in front of you is Cao Jiangpeng, the president of Jianda Investment." Wang Hongyi gave Zeng Yi an introduction, but Wang Hongyi didn't know what the origin of the blonde and blue-eyed foreigner was.
The two came to the rostrum and sat down, Cao Jiangpeng cleared his throat and said: "Friends of reporters, as well as neighbors of Hesheng Community, it is an honor to invite everyone here, thank you!" ”
There was sparse applause at the scene, and everyone didn't come to listen to Cao Jiangpeng's polite words, and their reaction to this sentence was not very strong.
"Everyone is here tonight for the same thing." Cao Jiangpeng looked at everyone and said: "I went abroad for business these days, according to the itinerary, I will come back after a week, but after hearing that the EIA report was revoked, I immediately ended the trip and returned, I want to say that we Jianda attaches great importance to environmental protection, which is my Cao Jiangpeng's personal attitude, and it is also the highest purpose of our Jianda." ”
The reporter at the scene clicked the shutter and gave Cao Jiangpeng a close-up.
The corners of Wang Hongyi's mouth twitched, and he said that Cao Jiangpeng is really good at, and the EIA report is not just a few days ago, as early as a few months ago, the residents of Hesheng community found that there were many unreasonable places in the process of issuing the EIA report, but at that time, the residents of Hesheng community did not choose to sue, but chose to negotiate with Jianda.
"About this incident, I just want to talk about three points, just now is the first point, we are a company that attaches importance to environmental protection." Cao Jiangpeng paused for a moment and continued: "Our Jianda's spraying production line is fully in line with the gas emission standards, not only that, but we also implement it with the highest standards. At this point, there is a professional environmental assessment company that can prove the innocence of our Jianda, and we have invested a lot of money in environmental protection, and it is also responsible, so you can verify it. ”
"The second point is that although there is no problem with our environmental protection measures, since the residents of the surrounding communities have opinions, then I will express my position here, starting from today. Jianda Manufacturing stopped all spraying operations. All loss of orders and financial compensation caused by this. It's all up to us Jianda to bear it ourselves, and we are willing to be a good neighbor full of goodwill. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene broke out into warm applause after a few seconds of stagnancy. Especially the residents of the Hesheng community, they were even more red-slapped. In fact, their requirements are not high, as long as Jianda does not discharge that pungent smell, everyone is still willing to accept Jianda.
Wang Hongyi said in a low voice at this time: "The surname Cao is playing the sympathy card!" ”
Zeng Yi didn't have any expression change on his face, but he couldn't help but glance at Gu Lang in his heart, this time Gu Lang was obviously much smarter, showing weakness and sincerity, and suddenly became the object of everyone's praise and sympathy.
Hear everyone's applause. Cao Jiangpeng stood up, folded his hands and apologized to everyone, and when the applause stopped, Cao Jiangpeng raised his hand and pointed to the blonde foreigner next to him, and said, "Let me introduce it to you." This is Mr. Brown, President of SKM International Investment Group. ”
Brown stood up, clasped his hands together like Cao Jiangpeng, saluted one after another, and then said in broken Chinese: "Hello everyone! ”
Cao Jiangpeng said: "The third point I want to talk about today is related to Mr. Brown. At the beginning, Zhonghua City warmly invited Jianda to come to invest, we are very happy, because Zhonghua is a very good place, and the people of Zhonghua City are more open and tolerant, it is our honor to come to Zhonghua, there may be big or small things in recent years, but we and the surrounding residents should be able to get along well. ”
"This recent incident, let me be a little sad, but also a little disappointed, we Jianda is an international investment group, dare not say how much contribution to the economic development of Sinochem City, but we dare to say that all their procedures are legal, and always abide by the law and operate in good faith, otherwise we will not be able to become bigger and stronger."
"The more controversial EIA report was also issued after careful verification by the environmental protection department of Zhonghua City, which was recognized by the government, and now it is said that it will be revoked, I don't understand the code of conduct of the Zhonghua municipal government, and I don't want to defend Jian Daduo. I understand this as may also be the end of our Jianda and Zhonghua City's fate, since everyone doesn't like it, in line with the principle of good gathering and good dispersion, we Jianda decided to leave Zhonghua City. ”
The people at the scene were stunned, just now Cao Jiangpeng also said that the spraying production line was suspended, how did it become leaving Sinochem in a blink of an eye.
Cao Jiangpeng pointed to Brown at this time and said: "After the overall consideration of the group leadership, we have decided to transfer all the assets and business of Jianda Precision Manufacturing Company to SKM International Investment Group, and Mr. Brown has solemnly promised in the transfer agreement that the new company will never start the spraying production project, which is the most important reason why we choose SKM!" ”
As he spoke, Cao Jiangpeng opened an agreement in front of him and showed everyone with Brown, and the part shown was the clause on the permanent abandonment of the spraying production project.
The reporters at the scene pressed the shutter again, and bright flashes came and went.
Brown continued in broken Chinese: "I hope everyone will continue to support SKM, and we are willing to be good neighbors." ”
Zeng Yi had basically figured out Gu Lang's plan at this time, this kid was really much smarter, and he was more lethal by retreating, but he was more lethal, not only reversing everyone's bad impression of Jian Da in one fell swoop, but also forcing Zeng Yi, who supported the prosecution of the residents of Hesheng Community, into a desperate situation.
Sinochem City has always been striving for foreign investment, but now Jianda is going to withdraw its capital and leave Sinochem, which is very unfavorable to Sinochem, and someone has to come out to take responsibility for it.
"Director Wang, you can find a way to get a Brown business card back!" Zeng Yi gave an order to Wang Hongyi, and then prepared to leave, after Cao Jiangpeng's three points, Zeng Yi had already figured out Gu Lang's intentions, and the rest of the press conference was nothing more than Cao Jiangpeng's "goodwill" performance, Zeng Yi was not interested in watching this boring performance.
Wang Hongyi's face was also very ugly, he didn't see it through Zeng Yi, but he also understood that Jian Da's move was called retreating, which seemed to be retreating, but in fact, it was to force his enemies into a desperate situation.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Wang Hongyi nodded, this matter is not difficult to do, Brown's first appearance, business cards must be distributed in large quantities, otherwise how can the image of this good neighbor be maintained.
Zeng Yi got up and walked towards the door, everyone's attention was on the rostrum, and no one noticed Zeng Yi's departure.
After returning to the car and waiting for about ten minutes, I saw Wang Hongyi running out of breath, and as soon as he got in the car, Wang Hongyi took out a business card and said, "Director, this is what you want!" ”
Zeng Yi raised his hand and looked at the business card, which was indeed written SKM International Investment Group, but it was much more detailed, with the other party's website and the company's contact information.
Zeng Yi nodded and said, "Send me back!" ”
Wang Hongyi didn't understand what Zeng Yi wanted Brown's business card for, but he didn't dare to ask more, let Cao Jiangpeng's three axes be cut down, Director Zeng's mood would definitely not be better, so he better ask less about things.
Back at his residence, Zeng Yi took out Brown's business card and read it carefully several times, and then checked the information about SKM Investment Group on the Internet, and found that SKM Group, like Gulang Group, is also an investment company registered in the United States, and its headquarters is also located in the same city.
Sitting in the chair and thinking about it, Zeng Yi picked up the phone and dialed Du Ruo.
The phone was connected, and Du Ruo's voice came from inside, saying, "Zeng Yi, I heard that you have been discharged from the hospital?" I knew you were an impatient character. ”
Zeng Yi smiled: "If I stay in the hospital any longer, I'm afraid I'll go crazy." ”
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Just be discharged from the hospital, it's almost too long to stay for so long." ”
"There's something, I want to ask Brother Du for help!" Zeng Yi said.
Du Ruo was very happy and said, "Say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" ”
"The case of the counterfeit money syndicate should be almost discussed, right?" Zeng Yi asked.
Du Ruo said: "Well, we plan to hand over those two unimportant fundamentals to the United States first, and that's just a matter of the next few days." ”
Zeng Yi laughed and said, "It's just right, before handing over, can you help me add another condition?" ”
