Li Ruixin thought that it was because they thought that flattery was the fastest way to get promoted. Moreover, there were many officials like that in reality. Many officials were promoted because of this, and more and more officials followed suit. This led to a foul atmosphere in the bureaucracy and indirectly affected the level of governance. It was really sad. He went out of the house and called Tang Haoran back. He repeated Song Chaoyang's words word for word.
Tang Haoran was shocked when he heard Song Chaoyang's harsh words. He asked nervously, "Director Li, is Song Shuji angry? He … he might have misunderstood me. The villagers of Dongshui Village really organized themselves. I didn't ask them to do so. This matter has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, we can ask them to send a representative to confront me. "
Li Ruixin thought, Shibei District is your territory. Is it difficult for you to make the representative of Dongshui Village listen to you? You can only say that to a three-year-old child, but not to me. He said, "No, Secretary Tang, you don't have to think too much. Don't mention this matter again. By the way, did you catch the owner of the Taifu Chemical Factory? What will you do about the factory? If you don't, where will the funds for the villagers' treatment and environmental protection come from? "
These questions were not asked by Song Chaoyang, but by Li Rui himself. He wanted to understand the follow-up of the series of events in Dongshui Village. After all, he had experienced it himself and wanted to follow it to the end until everything was resolved.
Tang Haoran said, "The owner hasn't been caught yet. He's stuck with the authorities. The authorities asked us to provide evidence of his crimes. Otherwise, they won't hand him over to us. However, according to our current environmental protection law, even if the owner caused serious environmental pollution, he won't be punished. Therefore, this matter is very difficult to handle."
Li Rui asked curiously, "Isn't he also involved in bribery?"
Tang Haoran said, "He asked the factory director to do all the bribery. He didn't do any of it himself. The factory director also has no evidence to prove that he asked him to do it."
Li Rui cursed inwardly and said, "Since we can't catch them, we can only sell the chemical plant and use the money to treat the villagers' illnesses and improve the environment."
Tang Haoran said, "Yes, the district is preparing to auction off that chemical plant. The Eastern State Petrochemical Company is very interested in it and has already sent someone over to inspect it."
Li Rui was stunned. "What? Auction? Auction as a whole? Secretary Tang, you don't mean to say that the Taifu Chemical Factory will continue to produce and pollute the air, soil, and water of Dongshui Village, right? "
Tang Haoran said awkwardly, "Of course not. We will strictly ask the buyer to do a good job of pollution control and control the pollution to the minimum …"
Li Rui immediately panicked and shouted, "Secretary Tang, don't you see it now? The thousands of villagers in Dongshui Village are like a large time bomb. Although we have controlled it before, it can explode at any time in the future. The fuse is that chemical plant. With the precedent of the Taifu Chemical Factory, do you think that the villagers will accept a change of name and boss? It is very likely that it will lead to an even bigger emergency! Aiya, why would you think that way? I think the right thing to do is to sell off all the assets of the chemical factory and tear it down. It doesn't matter if it's abandoned or built another factory. In short, we can do whatever we want but we can't keep that chemical factory. "
Tang Haoran sighed bitterly. "Director Li, do you think that we don't want to sell off all the equipment in the chemical plant? But we asked someone who knows the industry to look at it. He said that if you sell it like that, it would be a good thing if you can sell it for a few million. But what can a few million do? It's not even enough to pay for the villagers' medical fees and compensation. "
Li Rui said, "Then how much can we sell it for if we auction it as a whole?"
Tang Haoran said, "Tens of millions. If we auction it as a whole, as long as the buyer has the raw materials, they can continue to use the original production line and make money the next day. It is easy to sell and can be sold for more money. But if we dismantle it and sell it, we can only sell scrap metal. How much is scrap metal worth? "
When Li Rui heard this, he knew that he had taken it for granted. He only thought about the villagers and did not think about the Northern District Government. This was actually a multiple-choice question. It was up to leaders like Tang Haoran to choose. For the sake of the villagers, dismantling the chemical plant and selling it would not make much money. They would not be able to treat the villagers' illnesses, and they would not be able to improve the environment. But for the sake of the government, of course, this was also for the sake of the villagers. Auctioning off the chemical plant as a whole would make enough money, but the chemical plant would still exist and pollute the local environment. It was very likely that it would lead to mass unrest. Sigh, there was a reason for choosing either option.
Tang Haoran suddenly realized something and said, "Director Li, did the Secretary ask you to ask about this?"
Li Rui said, "No, but I will report to him."
Tang Haoran hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Director Li. We will definitely supervise the buyer of the chemical plant to install the best environmental protection equipment in the country. I guarantee that we will not make the same mistake as the Taifu Chemical Plant in the future."
Li Rui said, "It is useless for you to promise the Secretary. I want to ask Secretary Tang first. Do the villagers of Dongshui Village know about this situation? Will they accept this treatment plan? "
Tang Haoran said, "This matter has not been told to them yet. But if they want to get money to treat their illnesses and improve the environment in the village, they can only accept this treatment plan."
When Li Rui heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. He secretly lamented for the villagers of Dongshui Village. Could it be that they were born to be polluted? Well, they had actually fallen into a vicious circle of serial pollution. If they wanted to treat the diseases caused by the previous chemical factory, they would have to endure the continuous pollution caused by the next chemical factory. This was like a fantasy story. It was simply too ridiculous. Who would believe it if they told it to others? But this kind of situation happened in real life. Alas, it could only be said that God liked to play tricks on people.
He hung up the phone sullenly and turned to go into the back room to report this new change to Song Chaoyang. But he remembered that he still had a phone call to make, so he could only stop and call Ma Ruoxi in Beijing. When he thought of that vixen, his mood was slightly better.
"Hello, who is this?"
Ma Ruoxi's lazy voice came from the other end of the line. She sounded like she had just woken up from a dream.
Li Rui whispered, "It's me, Li Rui from Qingyang. Are you still asleep?" When Ma Ruoxi heard that it was him, she giggled and said, "Why is it you? Yes, yes, I am still asleep. I didn't even look at the caller ID when I picked up the phone. " Li Rui said, "I am looking for you for business. I want to ask if you have published any news articles or comments on the Dongshui Village incident after the interview." Ma Ruoxi said, "Not yet. I just finished the article and haven't sent it to the chief editor for review. Why, are you feeling guilty? Haha. "Li Rui laughed and said," No, I just want to understand. After all, we have to finish what we started. What is your evaluation of Qingyang's government in the article? "
Ma Ruoxi laughed and said, "What do you think it will be? Do you want me to praise you? You should know that the news published by the Legal Daily is basically nothing good. Even if there is something good, it is rare. "Li Rui said," So it's a criticism? "Ma Ruoxi said," Smart, it's a tactful criticism! Don't worry, I have already given Qingyang some face. "Li Rui whispered," Because of my face? "Ma Ruoxi asked in return," Because of whose face? " Li Rui's heart was tickled by her teasing. He lowered his voice and asked, "When will you come to Qingyang again?" Ma Ruoxi giggled and asked, "What will I do there again? Interview you or ride you?" Li Rui's blood boiled at her words and said, "Whatever you like …"
The two whispered for a while and both were aroused. Unfortunately, they were thousands of miles away and had nowhere to vent their anger. They could only agree to continue their previous relationship when they met again.
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui calmed down and went inside to report the two situations to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang was relieved when he heard that Ma Ruoxi was merciful and did not care about the incident anymore. When he heard that the Northern District of the city was going to auction the chemical plant so that it could continue production, he frowned again.
Li Rui said, "When I first heard about this change, I was also anxious. Directly criticizing the Northern District of the city will only cause endless trouble in the future. But after Secretary Tang explained it to me, I calmed down. Alas, it seems that this is the only way to get enough money to treat the villagers, compensate them, and clean up the environment. "
Song Chaoyang sighed and said, "I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried that if the chemical plant continues to operate, the villagers of Dongshui Village will cause more trouble."
Li Rui said, "If there's no other way, we can ask Secretary Tang to throw this multiple-choice question to the villagers of Dongshui Village and let them vote to choose whether to have no money to treat the disease and endure the harm of the polluted environment, or to have money to treat the disease and endure the less serious pollution that will follow."
Song Chaoyang sighed and said, "'Prosper, the people suffer; perish, the people suffer.' It seemed that no matter what happened, the people who suffered were the people. This poem could not be more appropriate for the villagers of Dongshui Village. Don't tell me there's no better solution? The Northern District of the city should have received a lot of tax from the Taifu Chemical Plant over the years. Can't they take out a part of the tax to repay the suffering of Dongshui Village? "
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "It's not realistic for the Northern District to take out tens of millions of yuan from the Northern District of the city."
Song Chaoyang said, "But we can't let the villagers of Dongshui Village continue to suffer the harm of environmental pollution just to raise money. Call Tang Haoran again and tell him that this is my idea. This plan is not suitable and I rejected it. Let them think of another way. Hmph, the Northern District of the city's leadership is a typical example of lazy governance. They don't use their brains when they encounter problems and only think of the simplest solution. They don't know that if they really follow this method, Dongshui Village will become a land of death in the future! "
