Chapter 1159: Sunset Afterglow
Located in the northeastern part of Illinois and on the southwest shore of Lake Gergan on the Great Lakes of the Great Lakes, the city is the third largest metropolis in the United States after New York and Los Angeles.
Chicago is known as the home of skyscrapers. When it comes to the Moyu Building, people in China first think of New York City, where there are many high-rise buildings on TV. In fact, the tallest building in the United States is not in New York, but in Chicago. The building, called the Sears Tower, sits on the west side of the city center, with two giant antennas piercing the sky, a dark brown inscription exterior and a bronze glass curtain wall that glows in the sun. The main building of the Sears Tower is 443 meters high, with 110 floors above ground and three floors underground, and a total height of 527 meters if the two line towers are included.
From a distance, the tallest building in the United States forms a staggered telescopic rhythm in the air, similar to the image of "reed sheng" in China's national musical instruments, which not only has rich changes in shape, but also brings the effect of stability like Mount Tai, and it looks like it is not as "thin" as the general skyscraper
The owner of the Sears Tower is Sears Roebuck, one of the largest department store chains in the United States. Sears is home to nearly a thousand department stores. Four and a half million employees, and the Sears Building, which serves as the headquarters of the chain, has a total of 7,000 people working in the building, occupying the 50 floors below the building. Venues above 50 floors are rented out. The first floor is called the Sky Terrace and is open to visitors. Overlooking the sunset and sunset in Chicago, the view is myriad. Sometimes you can also encounter the wonders of the red sun shining on the roof of the building and the clouds and rain falling downstairs.
On the 99th floor of the tallest building in the United States, in a luxuriously decorated suite, Poplar wears a wide maternity dress and reclines into Yoo Jun's arms. Sitting in front of the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the whole city of Chicago, with a blush on his face that has not yet faded, it is incomparably beautiful.
Mayor Liu was also wearing a loose old red nightgown at this time. His hands were crossed around Aspen's neck. The palm of the hand landed on the two slippery and smooth towers on the poplar's chest, slowly grinding, as if there was some unfinished.
Originally, he said that he would come here to see the sunset, but unexpectedly, the little urchin boy was messing around and kept teasing Sister Poplar. Reserved as an aspen, he can't bear it. Fortunately, the little urchin is still measured and does not make a lot of effort. Rao is like this, Sister Poplar is also delicate and delicate, and she looks invincible.
"Don't make a fuss, it's okay to be obedient,"
Bai Yang was disturbed by the little urchin's hands that always refused to be honest, and reached out to hold down Liu Jun's big hand, and said with a pant.
"Sister, you're still the same as before, so beautiful,"
Liu Jun stopped the small movements of his hand, pressed against the soft earlobes of the poplars, and whispered. Even though they were only five months apart, they all felt too long for each other. They've never been apart for so long since they've been happy.
Bai Yang smiled slightly, and a tenderness shook in his heart, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Liu Jun's arm gently.
Yoo Jun couldn't help but be happy.
Sister Poplar rarely takes the initiative like this.
Judge, Jun, what are the main cooperation projects between you and Liao's Group this time? ”
Poplar asked casually, also trying to divert the little urchin's attention. This guy is very good, but he is "not in a hurry" and puts it in peacetime, so he naturally makes him mess around, and he is very doting on Poplar, and he always satisfies his requirements with shyness and coquettishness. Now that he is pregnant, once is already an "adventure", how can he "score twice"?
Fortunately, Mayor Liu also knows the importance and no longer messes around. Although his hands were still holding the two balls of mutton fat jade, he refused to let go, and finally stopped his small movements.
"The main thing is to cooperate to build a chemical enterprise."
"Building a chemical enterprise?" Poplar was a little surprised, and asked, "I remember you seem to have said it before." Qianzhou should be developed into a tourist city and a livable city
It seems that the livable city and the chemical industry are somewhat incompatible.
Liu Jun smiled and said, "This is not a conflict. Jiangcheng City and several nearby counties, mineral resources are relatively rich, mining and beneficiation enterprises are also more, varied, state-owned, collective, private and even individual, many are very miscellaneous, concentrated in more than a dozen large mines, desperately mining, technology is very backward, equipment is even more backward; nbsp; In those cities and counties, there are many tailings ponds, and there are very serious safety hazards. During the major floods last year, several tailings ponds burst their dams, but fortunately, the surrounding people were evacuated in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. These mining enterprises are scattered in many ways. Repeated bans are very headaches
Poplar got serious and sat up slightly straighter. said: "Then you must pay attention to this." No matter how difficult it is, those small mining enterprises with incomplete safety facilities should be sealed and closed. Otherwise, once something happens, it will be a big deal. It will affect the whole picture. ”
In Liu's memories of his previous life, a major accident occurred in a province in northern China, when the tailings pond of a concentrator plant suddenly burst, and the flood water was accompanied by a mudslide, flooding a nearby market town, killing hundreds of people. As a result, the main responsible officials of the local area were all strictly divided because of Yoshikawa, that is, at the provincial level. There are also big leaders who are properly involved,
Jiangcheng City and Zibian City and County, large and small tailings ponds, there are dozens of places, some of which have a history of more than 20 years, the dam body needs to be strengthened every year, and the risk factor is quite high.
"Well, these tailings ponds are indeed a high-risk source of hidden dangers, and the city has organized a special remediation activity. But the symptoms are not the root causes. If these mining and beneficiation enterprises are not controlled, it will not have much effect by relying on the treatment of tailings ponds. The number of these tailings ponds will only increase! ”
Yoo Jun agrees with Poplar's statement.
Bai Yang asked worriedly, "So, what is the Liao Group's good plan for this situation?"
Yoo Jun replied, "Yes." The Liao Group has a long history and experience in the steel and chemical industries in Chicago. Because of our low level of mining and beneficiation technology, a lot of tailings actually have high reuse value. The reprocessing of these tailings can yield significant economic benefits, even more than the benefits of mining. We plan to introduce the chemical enterprises of Liao's Group, settle in Qianzhou, process these tailings in batches, gradually reduce the number of tailings ponds, reduce the number of mining and beneficiation enterprises, and take the road of elite soldiers. If it can be successfully introduced, this alone will be within the next five to ten years. It can generate more than 10 billion yuan of net profits for Qianzhou and Jiangcheng counties. And most of them are profits and taxes, which can provide a huge impetus for the follow-up exhibition of Qianzhou. ”
Bai Yang said, "The economic benefits are so big? ”
Now that Bai Yang is studying Peng, he knows more about economic construction and business operations, and knows what such a large source of wealth means for the follow-up exhibition of Qianzhou City.
"Yes, Qianzhou, like many other cities in the country, actually hides money everywhere, just by picking up leaks, I can detect one or two hundred billion yuan. The key is to change the mindset, to change the way of thinking, and a good idea is a lot of money
Liu Jun said with a smile, a slight smug in his tone.
"Hustle, I know that I am boastful and praised, and I am not modest at all
Poplar tilted his head back and glanced at him. With a hint of a teasing smile on his face. The little urchin is never modest in front of her, and always likes to "show off". Even a long time ago, when I had just graduated from school, and I hadn't even graduated yet. Bu fart child, dare to point fingers in front of Poplar. Poplar recalled those scenes, and a warm tenderness swelled up in his heart.
Liu Jun casually pinched a huge green grape from the fruit bowl next to him. put it between Poplar's slightly open red lips and said with a smile, "I've always been like this, and you don't know!" ”
Poplar grinned, stood up, walked to the bar, and brought over a glass of freshly squeezed juice. In a tall glass, two straws are inserted. This kind of Valentine's Cup. But it wasn't Mayor Liu's idea, it was Sister Poplar's doing.
Poplar sat down again in front of Yoo Joon. The two heads came together and drank the juice sweetly. The afterglow of the setting sun, projected through the window, dyed the entire house a brilliant orange-red.
"Real hair,"
Poplar looked at the sunset outside the window and admired softly.
"Yes, it's so beautiful" It's a pity, the sunset is infinitely good, but it's just nearly poisonous! ”
Poplar gave him a blank look, and seemed to reproach him for not saying such a terrible thing at such a romantic time. Mayor Liu smiled. Suddenly, he was childlike and made a face at her.
Poplar giggled.
These two days are the happiest days of Poplar's life. What could be happier than a woman, leaning on the strong arm of her beloved man, with his flesh and bone in her belly?
"Yang Yang, you are alone in a foreign country. And with Mao Mao, you must pay special attention to your body in the future, you know?
Yoo Joon's mouth shattered again. Moreover, Bai Yangxian, Liu Jun especially likes to call her "Yang Yang" in the past two days. Instead of being called "sister" when you open and close your mouth as before. This change in title actually indicates a change in Yoo Jun's mentality.
In the past, he always liked to "lean on the small and sell the small" in front of the poplar. Now, he consciously takes on the responsibilities of a big man, and in his mind, Sister Poplar has become a little girl's family to be cared for everywhere.
And Poplar noticed that he seemed to like this change in Yoo Joon as well. She feels that the "doting" component of Liu Jun is gradually decreasing, and the attachment component is gradually increasing. Perhaps, from the time he decided to give birth to a child for Liu Jun, Bai Yang had really regarded himself as Liu Jun's wife in his heart, instead of the previous "doting" and affectionate relationship, which seemed slightly awkward.
"Got it,"
Poplar bit her lip and replied softly.
