That night, as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Moqun was respectful to Tian Jundong, while Lu Yiwei was calm and clear-headed. After dinner, Cui Junkai sent him to the hotel to rest. Li Moqun left him alone in the hotel's guest room to make arrangements.
"Yiwei, I planned to call Jiang Ping over today, but he's new here and isn't familiar with the situation. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it. "But I've told him to fully cooperate with you to get this project off the ground as soon as possible. This year, attracting investment was also a key project in the province. Secretary Zhang of the provincial party committee had mentioned more than once in a meeting that they needed to attract investment and attract big business. Suddenly, a project worth tens of billions was going to settle in Nanzhou. This was a great thing. This project alone is enough to be at the forefront of the province.
"Therefore, the Municipal Party Committee attaches great importance to this project, and Long 'an County must also attach great importance to it. Once you go back, quickly convene a standing committee to discuss and approve this matter. This project is the number one project in Nanzhou City. You must attach great importance to it. "
Lu Yiwei was silent for a moment. "Secretary Li, can I express my opinion?"
Li Moqun stared at him and didn't respond.
Lu Yiwei gathered his courage and said, "Secretary Li, Mr. Tian previously contacted me and expressed his intention to build a steel plant in Long 'an County, but I rejected it for three reasons. "First, the report of the 17th Party Congress proposed sustainable development, eliminating high-energy-consuming and high-polluting industries, and not building new ones. "I don't know how Mr. Tian got the approval, but this approach is clearly against the national policy.
"Second, Long 'an County is a pure agricultural county. Although there are coal resources, the reserves are small and cannot meet the needs of the steel plant. "Furthermore, the steel plant requires a lot of water. Once it is built, it will pollute the Xiao River. "Not only will it affect Long 'an County, but the entire river basin. "Also, Long 'an County's ecological resources are among the best in the province. Once it is built, it will affect the ecological environment of the entire county and even the surrounding areas. "Once it is damaged, it can't be restored for decades or even centuries.
"Thirdly, my plan for Long'an County's future development is to integrate agriculture with tourism. We'll rely on tourism to drive the development of the agriculture industry. When the scale starts to take shape, we'll reduce or even close down the coal mines …"
Li Moqun was a little impatient, so he waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't talk to me about this. What kind of society is it now? It's a market economy. Without an economic foundation, nothing could be accomplished. The country advocated low-carbon development, but if they could get the approval, it meant that the country allowed it. Didn't you hear what Mr. Tian said? It will be built into the largest steel production base in the northwest region. It will mainly produce fine steel for military aviation, and it will be exported in the future. After completion, how many people will be employed, how many industries will be stimulated, and how much financial revenue will be increased? At least thousands of surplus labor can be transferred to the local area. Its prospects are immeasurable. "
"I don't know if you have been to Hebei. There are many steel companies there. Are they polluting the river and destroying the ecosystem? If they didn't meet the environmental standards, they wouldn't continue production. So, they have their own way of dealing with it. It's not something you can imagine. "
Lu Yiwei stubbornly replied, "The pollution in Hebei has already affected the whole country. The smog has even drifted to Guangdong. The air pollution caused by it is immeasurable."
"Alright!"
Li Moqun was angry. He said with a dark face, "Now is not the time to discuss this. I'm not discussing with you. I'm arranging what you should do. This matter has been decided. I will arrange for Mayor Xiong to be in charge of this matter. You just need to carry it out. "
Lu Yiwei didn't know where he got his courage from. He retorted, "Secretary Li, I have to be responsible for the 800,000 people in Long 'an County and the future generations of Long' an. This project cannot be located in Long 'an. You should choose another location. If it has to be located in Long 'an, I will have to be transferred. "After saying that, he got up and left angrily.
Li Moqun was stunned. His face turned the color of pig liver.
After going downstairs, Lu Yiwei left the hotel in a car and returned to Long 'an County. On the way back, he regretted his impulsiveness. No matter what, the other party was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He shouldn't have spoken like that. On the other hand, if he destroyed the ecological resources of Long 'an County for political achievements, he would become a sinner in history. He couldn't say that.
However, could he change the situation by himself? The possibility wasn't high. The other party's approval was in his hands. Moreover, he had the support of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Maybe there was a bigger connection behind him. He was just the secretary of the County Party Committee. It would be a piece of cake to bring him down. However, when it was time to resist, he must resist. He couldn't easily succeed.
His phone rang. It was Li Moqun's secretary, Cui Junkai. Lu Yiwei took a deep breath and picked up.
"Secretary Lu, you're back?"
"Yes, I'm on my way."
"Oh, it's like this. Secretary Li asked me to call you to show his concern. Drive slowly. I don't know the specifics of tonight's situation, but I know the general situation. "
Cui Junkai said calmly, "Secretary Li has just arrived and wants to make some achievements. It wasn't easy for such a project to be located in Nanzhou. He doesn't want to miss this opportunity. In addition, from what you said, you should have known Director Tian for a long time. There's no need to say more about his background and origin. I want to be more thorough. It's fine if you and I know each other. When Director Tian came, the Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Zhang personally called Secretary Li. "
Sure enough, his background was deep. Lu Yiwei smiled indifferently and said, "Director Cui, thank you for your kind reminder. I don't care who made the call. Even if it's the central leadership, it's still the same attitude tonight. Of course, this is only my personal opinion. If you really want to do it, give the power to the people. If the people of Long 'an agree, I have no objections. I'll obey unconditionally. "
Cui Junkai said patiently, "Secretary Lu, I know you're doing this for the good of Long 'an, and I admire you very much. But some things need to be flexible and look at the long term. As a poor county, suddenly releasing such a big project, others might not even be able to get it even if they fought for it. But the other party chose Long 'an. First, the geographical location is good. Second, it's fate. Moreover, you won't be working in Long 'an for long. Who knows, you might soon be promoted to the Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Li still thinks highly of you. "
Cui Junkai's words were tactful, but Lu Yiwei was unmoved. He said, "Director Cui, how about this. If you insist on building it, I'll choose to avoid it. Is that okay?"
"This isn't a problem that can be solved by avoiding it. If everyone is like you, no one will work. How about this, you might have drunk a little too much tonight. Go back and think about it. Maybe you'll think it through after a good night's sleep. Also, let me inform you of something. Tomorrow morning, Mayor Xiong will accompany Director Tian to Long 'an County for a site inspection. Be prepared to receive him. Go back and rest early. I won't bother you anymore. "
