Material Empire

Seeing Qin Hai's serious face, Yu Kexiu stepped forward and persuaded: "Mr. Qin, you don't have to think too seriously about these things. There is no pollution in the chemical industry. I have been to other places The pollution in the chemical factory is much more serious than ours, and the big chimney is emitting yellow smoke. At least there is no such situation in our park.”

"This is mainly because our group's several companies in the park are well controlled." Yu Huiguo said proudly, "Our factories are the largest companies in the park. We have controlled emissions, and the entire environment will be improved. Much better. As for those small businesses, there is really no way.”

"Our big companies can control it, but their small companies can't do anything about it. Isn't it strange?" Qin Hai retorted.

Yu Huiguo said: "Technically speaking, of course it can be done. But this kind of thing has to be calculated economically. In fact, our strict control of emissions will have a great impact on profits. I roughly calculated Note, if we don't pursue low emissions so much, the entire production cost can be reduced by at least 10%, and the reduction is our profit."

Yu Kexiu took his words and said: "Yes, Mr. Qin, in fact, I wanted to mention this matter during the meeting the day before yesterday. Of course, we still have to be strict in terms of exhaust gas treatment, but is this standard correct? Can we be a little more relaxed? Of course our big group is very powerful, but in terms of our subordinate enterprises, we are not yet so rich and powerful. If we can save a little, we can save a little. The money saved can at least be given to the workers. Give some benefits?"

Qin Hai asked calmly, "Old Yu, is this your idea, or the worker's idea?"

"I think so, and so do the workers." Yu Kexiu said, "Compared with our Jinnan factory in the past, the current production equipment is much better. Everyone says that we have come here under the same conditions in the past. Now What’s the point of having a little bit of taste? If you can save some money, it’s good to keep a big head in the factory and give a small head to the workers. Prices are rising so fast now, and everyone’s wages are not enough.”

When Yu Kexiu said this, Yu Huiguo also showed an expression of "I feel sorry for me", obviously agreeing with Yu Kexiu's statement. Looking at these two people, Qin Hai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Environmental protection is a game that only the rich can afford. Today's China is still in the early stages of economic development. Everyone thinks about earning as much money as possible. As for things like environmental pollution, they don't care at all. At this time, those environmentalists with great reputation in later generations either have not made their debut, or there is no market at all. In short, on various occasions, topics related to environmental protection are not heard at all.

However, as a person with memories of two lifetimes, Qin Hai knows that people's concept is only temporary, and sooner or later they will regret what they did today. When people's material life is gradually satisfied and they start to pursue the quality of life, they will find that the surrounding environment has become so bad that it is difficult to restore it no matter how much money is spent.

Even if you don’t talk about the problems in 10 or 20 years, even now, this kind of serious pollution will damage the health of the workers in the park and the surrounding residents. If you have no money, you can find a way to earn it; if your health is gone, it will be too late to regret.

"Old Yu, Section Chief Yu, you are all engaged in chemical industry, don't you really know what impact these exhaust gases will have on workers' health?" Qin Hai decided to talk about this topic from a more realistic perspective, "You always It is said that the pollution in the old Jinnan factory is also very serious, but have you forgotten how many workers in the old Jinnan factory got sick due to long-term breathing of harmful gases? I remember that when I went to the Jinnan factory, I visited those How much pain do bedridden patients, themselves and their families, suffer? Can this pain be smoothed out with money?"

"Well..." Yu Kexiu was speechless. Of course he knows the dangers of exhaust gas. Some positions in the factory that are exposed to the most exhaust gas have always been paid health subsidies. Those workers who work in this kind of position don’t feel much when they are strong. They think it’s a beautiful thing to get more than ten yuan more than others every month. But when they get old, their bodies suffer The damage was revealed. Yu Kexiu had witnessed their sick appearance.

"Mr. Qin, you are right. Without good health, what is the use of earning more money." Yu Kexiu said in a low voice, "Actually, I understand this truth. However, now the people in our park The pollution is caused by other factories around us, and there is nothing we can do about it. We spend money to control emissions, but people don’t care about it, and we will do what we need, and our people will suffer accordingly. Speaking of which, we have suffered a lot.”

"If you suffer a loss, you have to get it back." Qin Hai said, "We are the leader of the Jintang chemical industry. The boss has to look like a boss and set the rules. Old Yu, you have been working in the park all the time. Do you know which enterprises in the park have the most serious pollution?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Yu Kexiu said, "Just next to our factory, Xinyuan Chemical Factory, which is engaged in epoxy resin, has the most serious emissions; a little further ahead, there is a Jinte Plastic Factory , the main product is polyamide, the production equipment is still in the early 1960s, and it is also a major emitter..."

Although there are many enterprises in the park, most of them are enterprises in the chemical industry. Yu Kexiu has worked in Jintang Chemical System for many years and has a wide network of contacts, so he is familiar with many companies. Although some enterprises were invested and established by foreign merchants, the managers and workers employed are all from Jintang, and have some indirect relationship with Yu Kexiu. When it comes to the background, production situation, pollution situation, etc. of each company, Yu Kexiu is very familiar with it.

Qin Hai took out a small notebook and carefully recorded what Yu Kexiu said, interjecting a few questions from time to time to clarify the specific situation. After Yu Kexiu finished speaking, he looked at his notebook and asked, "Old Yu, in your opinion, if we launch an initiative calling on these companies to seriously improve their waste gas treatment devices and reduce emissions, will they accept it?" Woolen cloth?"

"Absolutely will not accept." Yu Kexiu said without hesitation.

"Won't the whole family accept it?" Qin Hai asked unwillingly.

Yu Kexiu said: "People follow the herd. If everyone doesn't care about emissions, then individual companies won't be taken advantage of at all...Of course, our group is an exception. This is mainly because of your request, Mr. Qin. Strictly speaking, as for other companies, it is impossible for their bosses to have such awareness. Don’t look at the factory directors of many companies here who have a good relationship with me. It’s okay for everyone to talk about other things. For example, let them If you pay me for a meal, they have nothing to say. But if you ask them to deal with exhaust gas, then it’s out of the question, and no one will talk to us.”

"Hehe, that means that everyone is toasting and not eating fine wine?" Qin Hai said with a sneer.

Yu Kexiu said: "Mr. Qin, the Jintang Municipal Government is willing to come forward for such a matter. We are an enterprise just like everyone else, and we have no control over others. But if you go to the city, the attitude of the city It must still be the same as in the past, and it is useless to make a request lightly."

"I understand." Qin Hai replied, "Environmental protection is not a dinner party, and it is impossible to do well without taking some extraordinary measures. As for Jintang City, I will go talk to them, and it will be best if we talk about it. If you can't agree, you can only find a way to put pressure on them. Old Yu, Section Chief Yu, you are all old people in Jintang. You should mobilize among your acquaintances and spread the concept of environmental protection. As for the above Let me do the work."

Yu Kexiu and Yu Huiguo responded at the same time: "Boss Qin, don't worry, we will do some work."

Coming out of the Jinnan new factory, Qin Hai told Chang Pei to drive around the entire park slowly. Regarding the situation introduced by Yu Kexiu, Qin Hai went to the field to do research and recorded the names of various enterprises and the visual inspection results of the pollution situation. After collecting enough information, he ordered Chang Pei to drive back to Jintang City, and went directly to the compound of the city government.

Shen Chuanming was a little surprised when he heard that Qin Haimen came to the door. He had already met Qin Hai the day before, and he had agreed to attend the entrepreneurial networking event held in Yanhui Building together. Before the event was held, Qin Hai suddenly came to the city hall, which made Shen Chuanming feel strange.

"Why did Mr. Qin come to our place when he was free, without prior notice?" Shen Chuanming went downstairs to greet him personally, took Qin Hai to his office and sat down, and asked with a smile.

"I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do." Qin Hai said with a smile, "I didn't want to disturb Mayor Shen's work, but because some things are more troublesome, I still have to report to Mayor Shen."

Shen Chuanming waved his hands again and again and said: "Qin is always a well-known big entrepreneur in the whole country. Even Director Wang of the State Planning Commission looks at you differently. I am a small deputy mayor. How dare I listen to Mr. Qin's report? What does Mr. Qin have? If you ask, just follow the instructions, aren't we doing government work to serve your company? The door here is always open to Mr. Qin. "

Qin Haidao: "Haha, I don't dare to give instructions to Mayor Shen. I'll just cut to the chase. I just went to our chemical industry park in Jintang and experienced the air pollution in the chemical industry park for myself. This time I The purpose of coming to the municipal government is to discuss this issue with Mayor Shen."

Hearing that the issue Qin Hai was going to talk about was pollution, Shen Chuanming's face froze all of a sudden.
