"China Environment News" is just a special surname newspaper in the industry, and its influence in the society is not great, and public opinion has not been mobilized, but if the party and government organs still turn a blind eye, once the matter is catalyzed, it may have to bear a huge social morality and responsibility.

At Kang Yiming's stern request, the city's environmental protection bureau was forced to send an investigation team into the Longtan Development Zone after a week's delay.

The four chemical companies involved have all come up with a fairly complete and advanced set of pollution control and anti-pollution programs without exception, and swear that the orders for the most advanced sewage treatment and air purification equipment purchased from Germany and this have been issued, and will be installed before the enterprises are put into production, and there is no need to have any doubts about this.

It took only two days for the investigation team to complete the project and qualification review of the four enterprises, and handed over an investigation report to the municipal axe.

"This is the investigation report that your EPA came up with?" Kang Yiming waved the investigation report in his hand, his face flushed, "I don't know what the basis for your conclusions?" Yes, the companies have not yet been built, and we cannot make an objective and detailed judgment on them, but this is the reason? Why did they move from Jiangsu? How are they doing in Jiangsu? Have you done any research? ”

Gu Mingsheng, director of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, seemed a little careless, and there was only a record of Kang Yiming's questioning, and the municipal axe held a special meeting on this matter, in his opinion, it was purely a trivial matter, and a few enterprises that had not really been built should conclude that the other party would definitely cause pollution to the surrounding environment? Maybe someone else already has quite advanced pollution control capabilities?

Seeing Gu Mingsheng's attitude, Kang Yiming was even more angry, "Two of these four companies are polluting enterprises named by the State Environmental Protection Bureau many times, and the other two are also key monitoring objects of the Jiangsu Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau. ”

"Mayor Kang, development is the main theme in various places, we can't categorically conclude that the other party will definitely cause pollution without basis, they have ordered quite advanced pollution control equipment from Europe and the United States, is this not a responsible performance? If we refuse to settle in our city because of this unwarranted reason? I think other places just clap their hands and can't wait to invite them in, do we want to see this happen? ”

Gu Mingsheng is also an old oilman in officialdom, he has been rolling in municipal organs for more than ten years, and it is easy to get mixed up with an environmental protection director, of course, he does not want to offend the leader in charge, but as the director of environmental protection bureau, he naturally has to have a clear statement at this special research meeting, and the defense discourse is just a needle hidden in the cotton.

"Hmph, Director Gu, I have seen several sets of pollution control equipment proposed by those companies to buy, and I have also consulted the price of these equipment through various channels, not to mention whether these equipment can meet the pollution control standards, just a complete set of pollution control equipment is worth five or six million US dollars, and which of these companies has invested more than 30 million? What a joke, the investment is not more than 30 million, but the pollution control equipment will exceed 30 million? Do you think this kind of strange thing is going to happen? Kang Yiming said with a sneer.

"Mayor Kang, is there any basis for you to say that this set of equipment will cost five or six million dollars?" Cai Zhengyang interjected, although he knew that it was immature to easily express his stance on such an occasion, but Secretary Ning also asked him to pay attention to this matter, and investment promotion belongs to his scope of responsibility, and it is reasonable for him to ask.

"Absolutely! I have a classmate who works in the State Economic and Trade Commission, and through his help, I checked the foreign quotations for this type of equipment, all of which are more than 5 million US dollars, whether it is produced in Germany or in this country, the price is not much different. Kang Yiming glanced at Cai Zhengyang and said in a deep voice: "This kind of equipment must be complete to play a role, and even if it is fully functional, it can only be said that it can minimize pollution, and it cannot be completely eliminated, this kind of enterprise is not suitable for construction in the suburbs at all, especially in a big city like Andu, and Longtan District is still in the upwind area of Andu City, which is more harmful!" ”

"Well, I also discussed this issue with the heads of several companies, and they said that it is indeed expensive to import new equipment, and they are ready to import second-hand equipment, but they guarantee that these second-hand equipment can function normally." Gu Mingsheng didn't expect Kang Yiming to be so serious, and he could make a fuss about the price of these pollution control equipment, so he was caught off guard for a while, and could only reluctantly use buying second-hand equipment to explain.

"Used equipment? Not to mention that the state has strict restrictions on the import of second-hand equipment, and this kind of pollution control equipment has only been developed by foreign countries in recent years, where is the second-hand equipment in the international market? Could it be that foreign companies are using it, because we want to buy it, so we take the initiative to withdraw it and sell it to us? If so, either foreign companies are crazy, or our domestic prices are higher than the price of new equipment? Director Gu, which of the two possible surnames do you think is greater? ”

Kang Yiming said coldly and sarcastically, he has always had no good impression of this director of the environmental protection bureau, he is purely an official oil, and he can't do his job at all, but Feng Yingba's leader is better than anyone else, and he is a typical official for the sake of officials.

Gu Mingsheng's face did not change, "Maybe foreign science and technology are developing faster, foreign countries are also paying more attention to environmental protection, and their equipment is updated faster, after all, we have not been abroad, if we have the opportunity to investigate, I think we should draw a clearer conclusion." ”

Kang Yiming could only be speechless. To deal with this kind of official oil, it is pure wishful thinking to convince the other party in the mouth, the only thing this kind of person values is power, and whoever can master his black gauze hat, he will bow down to whomever he wants. Although the deputy mayor of the Mingzhu Party like Kang Yiming is nominally in charge of the Environmental Protection Bureau, he does not have much say in the black yarn hat of him, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, not to mention that Gu Mingsheng thinks that he is also an old man with a municipal axe, and there is naturally a reason for being able to come to this point.

Although Cai Zhengyang does not agree with Kang Yiming's way of working, he still respects Kang Yiming a lot, after all, this position in this era can be dedicated to his work without hesitating to offend people, and this spirit alone is worthy of admiration.

"Lao Gu, don't go so far, I think Mayor Kang said that there is a certain truth, most of these chemical enterprises are developed from township enterprises, and the property rights reform along the coast, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is at the forefront, which means that these enterprises have been restructured into purely private enterprises, which also makes these business owners to a large extent more important to economic interests and lack of social responsibility, that is to say, it is doubtful that they will spend huge sums of money on environmental protection and pollution control. This also requires our functional regulatory departments to strengthen the tracking and supervision of these enterprises. ”

"Mayor Cai is right. Our environmental protection bureau and the scale of high pollution industry have established a regular contact mechanism, in addition to listening to their reports on environmental protection and pollution control, we also regularly take spot checks and monitoring methods to understand the pollution discharge situation of these enterprises, but these enterprises have just entered the project construction stage, the other party put forward their environmental protection and pollution control plan, theoretically in line with the national environmental protection policy, our environmental protection bureau can not interfere with the normal investment and construction of enterprises without anything to do, right? ”

Gu Mingsheng's attitude towards Cai Zhengyang is obviously different, not only his tone is respectful, but his face is much more solemn.

Cai Zhengyang was able to defeat Mayor Huang's right-hand man, Vice Mayor Yin Zhaoji, became a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, that is to say, he entered the decision-making body of Andu, although he is not the executive deputy mayor, but he has a close relationship with Ning Fa, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the municipal party committee, in a sense, he is the spokesperson of Ning Fa in the municipal axe, and the weight of his words is naturally very different.

Cai Zhengyang ignored the other party's prevarication, and said straightforwardly: "Mayor Huang, my personal opinion should attach great importance to this matter, Longtan District is located in the upwind area of our Andu City, these companies settled in Longtan is still in the project approval stage, and has not entered the construction stage of the actual surname. ”

"My opinion is whether we can suspend the approval of the project progress of these enterprises, and organize a research team by the political axe, and invite some relevant experts from environmental protection and some academic units to have an environmental consultation on these projects, to see if this project will have an impact on the environment of our Andu City, if there is, then we must decisively stop, if not, then the expert group will come up with an opinion on this, and the experts must sign and be responsible!"

"Mayor Cai, whether it is safe to do so I am afraid that we need to study it, now all over the country are wholeheartedly developing the economy, these four enterprises for the economic development of Longtan District this year can be a great help, so unclear stop, will it affect the positive surname of investors? If investors leave to invest in other regions, will this dampen the enthusiasm for attracting investment? Qiao Bo interjected quietly.

"However, if these projects are allowed to be built, the harm to the environment in the Andu area will be stopped after the final investigation, and the possible losses and impacts will only be greater." Cai Zhengyang said lightly.

Huang Yuansheng did not make a clear statement on the issue, but asked the environmental protection bureau to re-conduct environmental reviews of several companies, but there was no explanation on whether the project was terminated.

Just after Huang Yuansheng, Cai Zhengyang and Kang Yiming left the conference room, Qiao Bo held the glasses on the bridge of his nose and snorted softly: "People are worried!" Director Gu, do whatever you have to do, didn't Mayor Huang say it? Re-conduct the EIA, seize the time, improve work efficiency, this year time waits for no one, and investors are very particular about the concept of time. ”
