Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Chief Zheng, let's put aside the conditions for now. I'd like to know more about your company's level of pollution control."
Zheng Sanli raised an eyebrow and said, "Pollution control? You can rest assured about that. Our company's fertilizer factory uses the American assembly line in its production process and German technology in its environmental control process. These are the most advanced and high-end technologies in the world so far. They can achieve zero emissions and zero pollution, and they won't cause any pollution to the local environment. "
Song Chaoyang had been waiting for Zheng Sanli to say that. He smiled proudly and raised the two pieces of printed paper in his hand. "Is that so? Then how do you explain these two pieces of news? "He handed them over and said," Help me pass them to Chief Zheng. "
The people sitting between him and Zheng Sanli passed them in order, and the two pieces of printed paper quickly reached Zheng Sanli's hands.
Zheng Sanli focused his eyes on them and his expression changed slightly, becoming unnatural. After flipping through them for a while, he suddenly smiled and said to Song Chaoyang with a magnanimous expression, "That's impossible. This is a malicious rumor spread by a competitor of Yellow River Chemical to affect our reputation. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, and we've long gotten used to it. The news described here is actually fake news. Some of the places mentioned in the news don't even have our Yellow River Chemical Fertilizer Factory. This is a blatant rumor and slander. Song Shuji, please don't take it seriously. "
After saying that, he handed the printed paper to his three colleagues sitting next to him and said, "You guys take a look too."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Is this a rumor? Chief Zheng, did you not read the source of the news carefully? The first piece of news is a copy of the Jizhou branch of Xinhua News Agency. Even Xinhua News Agency knows how to spread rumors? "
Zheng Sanli's eyebrows twitched, and he snatched back a piece of news in disbelief. He stared at it and found that it was written clearly at the beginning of the article. It was an interview report from the Jizhou branch of Xinhua News Agency. When he saw this article, his face changed greatly, and his lips moved. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
At this moment, the Deputy Chief Engineer of the Yellow River Group, who was sitting beside him, said, "Oh, this is news from a year ago. What was reported in the news is true. At that time, our group's production technology was outdated, and we didn't do enough to control the pollution, so there were some small problems. Later, our group's leaders learned from the painful experience and decided to completely solve this problem. Therefore, they spent a huge amount of money to buy assembly lines and advanced production technology from America, and also brought in the most advanced environmental protection equipment from Germany. After the combination of the two, we have achieved zero pollution and zero emissions. This time, our group is going to invest in a new fertilizer factory. It will use brand-new equipment and technology. I guarantee that it will not cause any pollution to the local environment. You can rest assured about this, Song Shuji. "
When Song Chaoyang heard what he said, he couldn't refute it. He thought for a moment and said, "Chief engineer, I'm very willing to believe your words, but before the fertilizer factory officially starts production, no one knows whether it will cause pollution or not. Let me ask you bluntly, what will you do if it causes pollution? " After that, he explained, "President Zheng, please don't blame me for thinking too much. It's just that our Green Sun City has suffered greatly from the consequences of environmental pollution. We have to be more careful in this regard."
Zheng Sanli said casually, "If it causes pollution, our group will be responsible for dealing with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Mayor Cai Lin's phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, then whispered to Song Chaoyang, "It's the mayor. I'll go out and take it." Song Chaoyang nodded. Cai Lin took the phone and walked out of the meeting room.
Song Chaoyang waited for him to leave before chuckling. His smile was cold as he looked at Zheng Sanli and said, "Solve the problem after the pollution? That won't do! Our Green Sun City will not allow any polluting enterprises to settle here. We'd rather develop backward and leave a good environment for our future generations! "
His words were powerful and resonant. Li Rui secretly applauded. He thought to himself that this was a slap to Zheng Sanli's face. Who asked him to be so arrogant before? Let's see how he can be arrogant now.
Zheng Sanli's expression changed instantly. He looked at him in shock and anger. Naturally, he didn't expect his attitude to be so firm. He said, "Song Shuji, what do you mean by this? I've already said so much, and you still don't believe me? We promised that there won't be any pollution, so there won't be any pollution. Even if there's a little pollution, it's still within the scope of the national environmental law. Besides, if we want to develop the economy now, how can we not rely on industry? As long as it's industry, whether it's heavy or light industry, it will cause environmental pollution, heavy or light. If other places can bear it, why can't Green Sun City? "
At this point, he sneered and said, "Moreover, I've already done my research before coming here. Are there any fewer polluting enterprises in Green Sun City now? Steel mills, cement factories, chemical factories, pharmaceutical factories … Which of these factories isn't a polluting enterprise? What right do you have to make special demands on our Yellow River Group? Haha, I understand. Song Shuji, are you trying to use this as an excuse to gain an advantageous position in the negotiations with us? If that's the case, I have to say that I'm sorry to say that you're thinking too much, Song Shuji. Our Yellow River Group won't make any concessions. If we can negotiate, then we'll negotiate. If we can't, then we'll leave. Green Sun City isn't the only place in the world where we can invest. Hmph! "
Song Chaoyang said with a solemn expression, "Green Sun City didn't pay attention to environmental protection in the past, and that's why there was a big mess a while ago. Therefore, from now on, we'll have to pay extra attention in this aspect. It's not that we're targeting your group. Chief Zheng, my opinion is very clear. We can negotiate any preferential terms, but there can't be any problems with environmental protection. That's our bottom line. "
Zheng Sanli stood up and said angrily, "In terms of environmental protection, we've said again and again that our fertilizer factory can achieve zero pollution. Why don't you believe us? Fine, since you don't trust us at all, then there's no need to continue the negotiations. Let's go! "With that, he left the table angrily.
Song Chaoyang just smiled faintly and didn't have any intention of stopping him.
"Don't go, don't go … Don't go first!"
Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Deputy Mayor Cai Lin, who had just gone out to make a call, came back. When he saw that Zheng Sanli was about to leave, he quickly stopped him and said, "Don't go first, Chief Zheng. Our mayor is on his way back and will be back soon. Chief Zheng, please wait for him at the city hall for a while. You can talk when he arrives."
Zheng Sanli glanced at Song Chaoyang and asked Cai Lin arrogantly, "Is the mayor sincere? If not, then there's no need to negotiate. "
Cai Lin nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, absolutely."
Zheng Sanli sneered and said, "Fine, then I'll wait for a while and see the mayor's sincerity."
Cai Lin waved his hand and said, "Please come with me to the city hall." With that, he said to Song Chaoyang, "Secretary, I'll take them to the city hall first."
Acting Mayor Yu Heping was originally in charge of the Yellow River Group's inspection trip to Qingyang. However, he had to go to the provincial capital for a meeting at the last minute, so he entrusted the task to Song Chaoyang. Now that he was back, Song Chaoyang naturally had to return all the work to him. He nodded and agreed.
Cai Lin quickly brought Zheng Sanli and the rest to the city hall, leaving only Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, and Li Rui in the conference room.
Song Chaoyang said angrily, "This Zheng Sanli is too arrogant, too arrogant! He came to Qingyang to discuss a collaboration, but he made it sound like he was blackmailing us. He kept saying that he would agree to his conditions. Who does he think he is? Does he think that Qingyang can't develop without the Yellow River Group? How despicable! "
Li Rui hurriedly said, "Secretary, please calm down. Don't lower yourself to his level. He's a snob through and through. I don't believe that if he went to Beijing or Shanghai to discuss a collaboration, he would still have such an attitude. Doesn't he think that our Qingyang is poor and behind in development, so he can only act like a boss? This kind of shameless person doesn't deserve your anger. "
Du Minsheng also said, "Yes, there's no need to be angry with this kind of person."
Song Chaoyang sighed and said, "That's true, but I can't help but feel angry when I think of his arrogant attitude. It's clearly a collaboration that benefits both of us. Why did he have to make it like this? Does our Qingyang owe him something? "
Du Minsheng changed his mind and said, "Secretary, what you meant just now was that we can discuss his conditions, right?"
Song Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, we can discuss it. Although the conditions are a little harsh, they can indeed bring a lot of benefits to Qingyang. However, we can't agree to all his conditions. For example, how can we do the preferential tax policy? We can change it a little and change it to: the first two years will be completely tax-free, and the next six years will be refunded at a rate of 50%. That's equivalent to tax-free for the next three years. Otherwise, how can the city not get any tax for the first five years? If there are problems after five years of production, such as the factory not being profitable, or if there's a major environmental pollution incident like the one in Dongshui Village, or even if the factory closes down, who can we ask for money from? Who can reason with us? "
Li Rui nodded as he listened. He thought to himself that the boss was indeed the boss. His way of solving problems was ingenious. He had to learn from him. However, he was afraid that Zheng Sanli would not agree to this change.
