Chapter 186
,
According to villagers, in recent days, many people from the county came to know the situation. Some people who looked like reporters took photos everywhere, took photos of the hospital examination form and drug bills for copying, and some people who looked like cadres specifically talked to cancer families, and there were people recording them next to them!
The villagers also said that whenever it was dawn in the early morning and after dark, people would use various instruments to inspect and record data in the village fields. They would often see people sitting in small boats to extract water samples along Chuanyu River. Some villagers vaguely recognized them like staff from the Environmental Protection Bureau, but they could not name them.
This situation is so terrible!
Yu Tieya instantly felt like a disaster was coming. Intuitively, he realized that it was Fang Sheng who was behind the scenes. The matter of punishing Cheng Gengming last month was not over yet. This time he was the seven-inch who was sure to take revenge.
Therefore, after Yu Qiudi retweeted Yu Yunfu's words, Yu Tieya fell into confusion.
"Stop production and rectification?" he said blankly, "Isn't that a slap in the face? Yan Teng was the first thing I did after taking office. It was very popular at the beginning. Now... Mr. Luo couldn't agree. How much loss would he have to bear when he stopped?"
Yu Qiudi said impatiently: "We cannot consider economic losses now, but try to minimize the negative impact. You have not read the recent news and there are more and more reports on pollution. What does it mean? The central government has increased its efforts to protect the environment and began to hold local officials accountable. In the near future, it will become a high-voltage line. Whoever touches will be unlucky!"
"Then..." Yu Tieya thought for a while and gritted his teeth, "Dad, can you make more concessions to that piece of land? Try to get Mr. Luo to agree to stop production, even if it is for three months to let me take a breath."
"The loss of production suspension is much greater than that of sewage treatment. He cannot be impressed by the price fluctuation of that piece of land," Yu Qiudi said while thinking, "I also think the suspension of production is not realistic and has a bad impact on you. I will persuade Mr. Luo to start German equipment to treat sewage as mentioned earlier. You have to make more concessions in the compensation issue and can no longer let the villagers cause trouble."
"That's all."
Yu Tieya said helplessly that the cowardly in his heart is really indescribable. As a chemical company, it is a matter of strictly following the relevant national regulations to treat sewage. Now, it’s better. My father has to use his power to privately deliver benefits to Yanteng Group in exchange for the other party’s agreement to enable imported equipment. Where is this?
Mr. Luo was conducting overseas inspections and did not make a phone call until the early morning. He listened to Yu Qiudi's meaning impatiently, and was only interested in the price of that prime location. He repeatedly asked about his bottom line. Yu Qiudi carefully said that as long as Huanghai did his work well, you would definitely be satisfied.
Mr. Luo said it was not me who shirked the responsibility. The factory site given by the development zone was wrong at the beginning. As we all know, pollution from chemical companies is inevitable. They are generally far away from the village and located in the lower reaches of the river. The Huanghai is better. The factory site is located in the middle of Chuanyu River, which is only two kilometers away from the nearest Qiaobei Village. There is something wrong with this plan itself. It is not our Yanteng, but the Huanghai!
Yu Qiudi also had trouble saying that now is not the time to hold the responsibility accountable, but to calm down the situation as soon as possible and prevent large-scale mass incidents from happening. As long as the people don’t make trouble, everything will be easy.
Isn’t it over to give some money? Mr. Luo doesn’t care.
It can't be passed on just a little bit... Yu Qiudi was too lazy to talk to him, and said bluntly that please call Director Qi immediately and quickly start the sewage treatment equipment! That piece of land, let's talk about it after you return to China!
Mr. Luo smiled and said ok.
However, the plan is not as good as change. Almost while the two were talking on the phone, all domestic portals and major forums published a major news headline:
Severe pollution in the Yanteng Huanghai branch has caused dozens of villagers to suffer from cancer and chickens and ducks not to drink tap water!
The article lists in detail the number of new cancer cases and people in the five villages near the Yanteng branch this year, and the curve of the number of new cancers in the past five years, as well as the foamy, light yellow and turbid river water, as well as the dying crops in the fields, small and deformed fruits, and the villagers with despair and helpless eyes.
The worst thing is that the news quoted the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony of Yanteng branch when the start of construction. In the picture, Yu Tieya and Director Qi from the branch smiled like a flower, and sat side by side on the construction car with great enthusiasm!
Netizens commented:
"Introducing investment = introducing disaster?"
"Please ask the county magistrate to drink the water from Chuanyu River in public, which proves that the pollution is a rumor that the masses spread."
"What kind of pain and helplessness is that even though you know that the air you inhaled and the water you drink will cause cancer, you are still living numbly?"
"Yanteng is a senior and big-name polluter. You can check it online and you will know."
"Such heavy pollution and high energy-consuming enterprises can blossom from all over the world, and are warmly welcomed by local governments. What's wrong with it?"
At this time, Yu Tieya was still in the dark. After Yu Qiudi said that he had reached an agreement with Mr. Luo, his heart fell to the ground and finally got a stable sleep that night.
At around six o'clock in the morning, my cell phone suddenly rang. When I saw that it was called by the secretary, I was very unhappy and picked it up and said with a bad voice:
"Speak something quickly?!"
What I mean is that if nothing big will make you dare to disturb my good dream, you will be in trouble!
The secretary said in a panic: "County Mayor Yu... Yan Teng's pollution is online... It's everywhere on the Internet, please take a look..."
"Boom", Yu Tieya's mind exploded!
The sleepiness instantly flew out of the sky. I woke up quickly and opened the computer and clicked a portal. The headlines were the shocking Yanteng polluting news. I also clicked a few equally influential portals, as well as forums, post bars, etc., without exception, all of them were Yanteng!
The pictures of himself grinning while sitting in the construction car were repeatedly quoted, and the members of the leadership team, including Zeng Weihua, who also participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony, could not even see a shadow.
Yu Tieya sat in front of the computer sweating. After a while, he jumped up and called Minister Dai's cell phone. After answering, Minister Dai said tiredly and helplessly:
"I know what... Forty minutes ago, the Internet cell called me to report it and urgently deleted the posts. However,... except for some forums and post bars that agree to delete the posts, most of them require the official Huanghai to issue a certificate..."
“What proof?”
"Prove that Yanteng's pollution is a rumor..." Minister Dai said lightly and hung up the phone without waiting for him to make any statement.
It's really amazing! According to the current situation, Zeng Weihua was too busy clearing it, so how could he help him issue this proof that it was obviously a fraud?
Yu Tieya stared blankly at the bold characters on the computer screen, like a worm that hurts the internal organs. He regretted for a moment: Why was he eager to show himself to Huanghai? Why did he have to attract this heavy pollution project? Why did he forcibly pass the challenge when he was opposed?
Originally, if Qiu Haibo was there, he could still share some responsibilities for himself. Now he has been assigned to the provincial party school to study in a closed manner. According to official rules, it will not cause any injustice to others. Therefore, all responsibilities can only be borne by Tieya alone.
This is a huge responsibility!
Fortunately... the only thing that is thankful is that there is no collusion between officials and businessmen and money-power transactions. Yu Tieya did it purely for political achievements, and no economic problems are his amulet.
Thinking of this, he trembled with his fingers and connected Director Qi's mobile phone and said bluntly: "Have you seen the online news? Mr. Luo also agreed last night that now, please stop production and stop production immediately, and give the outside world an attitude!"
Director Qi was very calm: "County Magistrate Yu, Luo always sent a text message at night, only asking for the sewage treatment equipment to be started, and he did not say that the production was stopped..."
Yu Tieya was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "The situation has changed, Director Qi! I can guarantee that the provincial investigation team will arrive in Huanghai within ten hours. In addition, Wuxiang City leaders and major media reporters will come like flies. Instead of being forced to stop production and rectify, it is better to take a stance and strive for forgiveness from the outside world..."
"That's your problem, not mine," Director Qi interrupted him and said mercilessly, "How can chemical production eliminate pollution? There is no one in the world. The so-called saying that it can be directly drunk after sewage treatment is to fool outsiders. Do you dare to drink it? Anyway, I don't dare! Since Yan Teng is led to the Huanghai, you must be mentally prepared to accept moderate pollution. You can't be both a bitch and a archway! This is my attitude, and you can do what's next!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
This is the second person to hang up his phone in the morning, but Yu Tieya no longer cares about these subtitles.
His whole body was soaked in cold sweat, his head buzzed until it was about to explode, and his limbs seemed to belong to the body, numb and without feeling.
When he called his father's cell phone, Yu Qiudi seemed to wake up from his sleep and said in a daze: "Didn't everyone agree last night? What phone call early in the morning?"
"What happened!" Yu Tieya hurriedly told the story of Yanteng's pollution on the Internet.
Yu Qiudi jumped up from the bed, then felt dizzy, and sat on her forehead for a while, barely saying, "Wait a minute, let me see."
After reading the reports from more than ten portal websites - the content is similar, and it is obvious that the source comes from the same place. Yu Qiudi sat on the sofa for a long time and couldn't get up.
Regarding the struggle in the officialdom, Yu Qiudi is far more experienced than his son. With the political sensitivity and instinct he has developed over the years, he knows that this time the matter is a big deal, and it is no longer a matter of replacing the production of Yanteng's dead and shutting down production. The sewage treatment can be quelled. He needs to beg for the Central Propaganda Department, which Yu Yunfu is in charge, and Mr. Yu, who has been retired for many years but has a strong influence!
Why? This incident has aroused public outrage!
