Material Empire

Daqin Group has always been extremely self-disciplined in terms of environmental protection. Ning Mo and Xia Yangjie from the Chemical Materials Group often expressed their dissatisfaction with the environmental pollution of the chemical industry park on various occasions, and they even went to the municipal government to report this problem. Entrepreneurs know it. Don't look at everyone's righteousness on the issue of exhaust emissions, but it would be a lie to say that they don't know what their companies are doing and what the consequences of doing so are. People may have no conscience, but they will not lack common sense. Everyone emits waste gas without conscience, just because of greed. What is right and what is wrong, everyone's heart is like a mirror.

Everyone has heard about the complaints made by the chemical materials group to the municipal government, and there have been discussions in private. Some people feel that they are in the wrong, and just take a silent attitude towards this matter; others hold the idea that "the monk can touch me, and I can touch it", and are extremely dissatisfied with this kind of complaint from the chemical materials group. Complaints like "I don't know if the hungry man is hungry" or "the dog chases the mouse out of its own business".

No matter what attitude you adopt, in the chemical industry circle in Jintang, everyone regards environmental protection as a sensitive topic and doesn't touch it easily. Who knows if the city government will at some point succumb to outside pressure and ask everyone to be more environmentally friendly. What makes everyone feel more at ease is that when they test the tone of Jintang officials in private, the answer they get is that the government will take care of everyone's emotions and will not embarrass everyone. The subtext of these words is naturally about environmental protection issues. The government won't take it easy.

However, the scene today is a bit different. Qin Hai, who is the backstage boss of Ning Mo and Xia Yangjie, suddenly appeared in Jintang. The city government invited the bosses of all enterprises to come to the Yanhui Building and let Qin Hai speak to everyone. Qin Hai opened his mouth and pointed directly at the problem of environmental pollution, but Shen Chuanming and Cao Shanfei sitting next to him remained silent, clearly acquiescing to Qin Hai's statement. This also shows that Qin Hai and the city government have reached a tacit agreement, and the city government really wants to talk about environmental issues.

Liu Shuda, the director of Xinyuan Chemical Factory, was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice:

"Mr. Qin, we all understand the problems you mentioned, but our companies are weak in financial strength and cannot be compared with your Daqin Group. We have also tried our best in this matter, and some things are not perfect. It's inevitable, right?"

"That's right, if we had the same strength as yours, we wouldn't do this, no one would smell the exhaust gas, would they?" Several other factory directors and managers also muttered.

A feeling of resentment spread among the people, and some people began to regret coming to this fellowship, thinking that they would get a chance to make friends with local tyrants, but who knew that the original intention of the local tyrants was to clean up everyone, which made everyone How embarrassing.

"Boss Qin didn't say that everyone should be perfect..." Shen Chuanming stood up and smoothed things over. Qin Hai didn't care about offending everyone, so he couldn't do that. He still needed to talk about some necessary scenes. He said to everyone in a very tactful tone: "The city understands everyone's difficulties, and also knows that everyone has done a lot of work in controlling environmental pollution. However, we have to admit that the air quality in Jintang is indeed not satisfactory. We need to continue to work hard to create a better environment for living and working in Jintang.”

"Liveable and suitable for business is what everyone wants, but chemical industry, how can there be no smell at all?" Sun Daxiong, the director of Jinte Plastic Factory, retorted angrily, "A set of filtration equipment can cost hundreds of dollars at every turn. Wan, it costs money to operate normally, how can a small factory like ours afford it? According to me, our country is a poor country, and money must be spent wisely. What's the use of making these fancy things? When I was a worker in a chemical factory, the smell in the factory was much stronger than it is now, and I wasn’t feeling well? Why do young people nowadays become so squeamish?”

In Sun Daxiong's last sentence, the spearhead was directed at Qin Hai. Among the people in this room, Qin Hai is a veritable young man. Whether the rest of the entrepreneurs or officials, the youngest must be in their 30s, and most of them are in their 40s or even 50s. Many people here, like Sun Daxiong, used to be workers in state-owned chemical factories. Because of various opportunities, they went to sea to start business and have their own industries. As Sun Daxiong said, they didn't think it was a big deal to take a few more breaths of polluted air. Who didn't come here in those days?

Before the fraternity, everyone had a mentality of trying to get close to Qin Hai, but once the matter involved their own personal interests, they no longer cared about Qin Hai's face. In front of Shen Chuanming, they must make their voices heard and let the city government know that this matter cannot be done. Otherwise, if Shen Chuanming is fooled by Qin Hai and really decides to strictly punish the issue of exhaust emissions, everyone The loss can be great.

Hearing everyone arguing with each other, Qin Hai smiled faintly: "Everyone, do you really think that the air pollution is nothing special? I want to ask, which of you built your home in the chemical industry park?" ? If the municipal government builds a school in the chemical industry park, which of you would like to send your children to school there?"

"This..." All the entrepreneurs who were talking lively were dumb. A few people who were very close to Qin Hai wanted to refute a few words forcefully, but they opened their mouths a few times, but they didn't know what to say.

Isn't it true that none of the people present arranged their homes in or near the chemical industry park, and even some people who originally had houses in Jintang City have recently purchased new houses in places farther away. The elderly and children in the family all moved there because they were worried about the impact of the pollution in the park on their families.

However, if these people can move, where will the hundreds of thousands of residents around the Chemical Industry Park and Jintang City move? Many factory workers live in Jintang urban area, and they also have children and elderly people in their families. These people are all suffering from the damage of exhaust gas. To put it in a heart-to-heart manner, the family members of the bosses are human beings, and the family members of the workers are also human beings. Doesn’t the boss need to think for the workers?

"Everyone is silent?" Qin Hai sneered: "Actually, everyone says that pollution is nothing serious, but everyone knows that this is not a long-term solution. The people in Jintang have realized the impact of air pollution in the chemical industry park. Their damage is just that they haven't taken actual actions to protest. As everyone's living standards are getting higher and higher, so is the concern for health. You think that the peaceful days like now can be maintained for a long time Are we consciously controlling the pollution, or are we waiting for the people to block our factories? It’s time for everyone to think about it.”

Hearing Qin Hai's words, most people lowered their heads and began to think. What Qin Hai said was really not alarmist. Everyone has relatives and friends in Jintang. When chatting with relatives and friends on weekdays, they have heard complaints about pollution. As Qin Hai said, everyone just hasn't reached the point of taking practical actions. People today are really different from those in the past. People are becoming more and more resigned to their lives. Maybe one day, ordinary people will put pressure on the city government to take care of these chemical companies.

In other words, the question Qin Hai is raising now is just a little bit ahead of his time. Even if Qin Hai doesn't raise it like this, ordinary people will raise this question in the future.

Although I understand this in my heart, it is probably not realistic to ask everyone to spend real money to modify the equipment based on Qin Hai's words. Everyone is thinking about their own calculations, and they have the fluke mentality of being able to procrastinate for a while.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shen Chuanming cleared his throat and said to everyone:

"Dear entrepreneurs and friends, what Mr. Qin said just now is indeed from the bottom of his heart, and it is deafening. Everyone knows that with the increasing scale of our Jintang chemical industry, the air in Jintang City has become more and more serious. It's getting worse and worse. To be honest, when it's a south windy day, our city government can only work with the windows closed. Some pregnant lesbians have come to me to complain, saying that they are worried that this will not be good for the child in their womb.

In the past two years, from the perspective of protecting the interests of investors, the city's management of environmental issues was relatively small. This time, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have made a great determination to take some special actions to rectify the enterprises that discharge serious pollutants. This matter is a major event for the health of hundreds of thousands of Jintang citizens. I hope everyone can understand and cooperate. "

"The Jintang Chemical Material Group Company, which belongs to Daqin Group, is willing to provide strong support for the Jintang Municipal Government. I also dare to issue a call here. I hope that all colleagues in the chemical industry present today can take care of the overall situation and do a good job of the company on the one hand. On the other hand, they also participated in this movement to control air pollution, which fully demonstrated the social responsibilities of all enterprises." Qin Hai continued Shen Chuanming's words.

"President Qin, what do you want us to do?" Liu Shuda raised his head and asked Qin Hai.

Qin Hai replied: "It's not what I want you to do, but the country has legal requirements for environmental protection. There are national standards for the discharge of pollutants. Factory Manager Liu should properly handle the waste gas emitted by your factory in accordance with the requirements of the standards. In fact, as long as every company can do its own thing well, our entire chemical industry park can have clean air and a beautiful environment.”

"According to national standards, who will make the investment?" Liu Shuda continued to ask.

Qin Haidao: "These expenses are originally part of the cost of the enterprise, of course they are borne by each enterprise themselves. In fact, our profit level is not low. After adding these expenses, we are still profitable, just earn a little more It’s just a matter of earning less.”
