362 The Enemy's Road is Narrow

Liang Jincang came to Jidong City, found the most polluted areas, and negotiated with the local township government to build an emissions recovery and processing plant for small refineries at his own expense.

But the local government must give itself preferential policies.

This was originally something that benefited the local people and was mutually beneficial.

The local township governments also expressed their welcome and support - although they do not understand very well and do not know how to recycle these emissions and what they are used for.

But as long as someone can deal with the waste liquid and waste materials for them and stop causing pollution, they will be grateful.

Even Liang Jincang promised to collect waste gas. After the factory is completed, it seems that the locals can breathe a sigh of relief, right?

You know, in recent years, the exhaust gas emitted by the refinery has become the biggest headache for local villagers.

Of course, it’s not like township cadres don’t have noses.

The most common smell of exhaust gas is a strong smell of rotten duck eggs, and sometimes it can turn into an indescribable stench.

Local people say that the strong ones are unable to work during the day and cannot sleep at night due to the smoke. As for those who are already in poor health, they are just hanging on to survive.

The villagers who couldn't bear it jointly petitioned the authorities to shut down these refineries and stop polluting local water sources and land.

The most important thing is to let local old farmers breathe a breath of fresh air!

Those joint letters of complaint can be described as filled with blood and tears.

However, in an environment where economic development is vigorously pursued and the economy takes priority, there seems to be nothing wrong with people opening oil refineries in a reasonable and legal manner and operating them properly.

Neither the township cadres nor the county cadres could do anything about this matter.

As for those incidents that were so unbearable that they broke into armed fights with small refineries and resulted in bloodshed and sacrifices, the cadres above could only coordinate and handle the incidents after they occurred.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the rioting villagers fighting for their right to live.

However, the small refinery acted in self-defense, and it was not wrong for them to operate the factory reasonably and legally.

The cadres above really have no better way to deal with it.

Although there are laws to follow when dealing with villagers who cause trouble, there are extenuating circumstances.

If you deal with the refinery, you will have no choice but to rely on it.

Anyway, the local cadres are also living in the pungent stench and are very helpless.

Now such a savior suddenly appears, claiming that he can collect waste residue, waste water and waste gas to relieve the pollution pressure of oil refineries.

The local cadres were very happy.

Liang Jincang's negotiations with the local government went very smoothly.

Although the local government cannot provide him with subsidies, it can allocate some land to him free of charge to build a factory.

Other taxes and other aspects are even exempted if possible.

After the negotiation, Liang Jincang's first chemical plant was located downstream of a large, small refinery, focusing on recycling the refinery's emissions.

There are also densely populated small refineries in the surrounding area. In those small factories, waste gas collection devices and waste liquid rough processing equipment are installed.

The collected waste gas and rough-processed waste liquid are transported by tanker truck to our own chemical plant for further processing.

Everything started moving step by step, the land was ready, and then we started pulling building materials to the construction site, and the construction team was already in place.

But just when he was getting ready to start work, the road leading to his construction site was blocked.

The people who blocked the road for him were actually local villagers.

It turned out that rumors came out of nowhere that a more polluting chemical plant would be built here.

After it is completed, not to mention the waste residue and waste water, the exhaust gas from the chemical plant alone can make people within fifty miles around it unable to live.

The severity of pollution is a hundred times worse than that of an oil refinery!

When the rumor first came out, not many villagers believed it. Local cadres came out in time to refute the rumor, and the situation was still under control.

Unexpectedly, the cadres' refutation of the rumors was far slower than the spread of the rumors.

It seemed that someone had done it intentionally, and it quickly spread throughout the country, becoming more and more false.

This is why people don’t believe it.

There are many people among them who are fanning the flames. They suggest blocking the road to the chemical plant that will be built, not allowing it to be built, and smashing the trucks transporting building materials on the road!

Within a few days, local farmers were mobilized and participated in the road blocking movement.

This made local cadres quite angry.

Liang Jincang's chemical plant aims to benefit the local people and solve problems for the local government, which is a great thing that they can only hope for.

These farmers who did not know the truth and believed the rumors gathered to cause trouble and obstructed the construction.

It's so stupid!

So the police station was dispatched to drive away the villagers blocking the road.

Unexpectedly, the villagers were driven away easily that day, and more villagers gathered to block the road the next day.

Confronted with the police.

It is about to lead to a large-scale mass incident.

This is not the situation Liang Jincang wants to see.

To be honest, with the memory he has, there are too many channels and ways to make money.

But his first business, the Dawudian Gangue Brick Factory, was built on the principle of benefiting the people.

Not only can the gangue brick factory make money for itself, but it can also save three cancer villages and the land pollution problems in downstream villages.

Only in this way can his money-making behavior be considered valuable.

Now he wants to build a chemical plant. Although the purpose is to make money, he just wants to do industries that can not only make money but also benefit the people.

Now that the factory has just started to be built, it is about to cause a large-scale mass incident. If it results in bloodshed and sacrifice, the original intention of building the factory will be lost.

So at his request, all the police who drove away the villagers were withdrawn.

It's nothing more than a temporary stoppage of work and no more work.

Then Liang Jincang discovered among these incidents that this was not an accidental mass incident.

Rather, it is an obviously organized and premeditated attempt to spread rumors and cause trouble, which is an act of sabotage.

This made him puzzled. As a foreigner, he met a local by chance. The other party shouldn't hate him for no reason and spread rumors to cause trouble and harm him, right?

Everything has a cause and a result, there must be something going on here!

What is going on? This question must be clarified.

The task of investigating the reasons behind the incident must be entrusted to the local township cadres.

After the township cadres investigated, they came back and asked Liang Jincang: "What grudge do you have against the director of Donghua Refinery?"

"Donghua Refinery? Director?" Liang Jincang was confused.

He knew that the Donghua Refinery was not small in scale.

But there are relatively few small refineries around that refinery, and they are not large-scale.

If you build a chemical plant there, at most it will be a relatively large-scale chemical plant and the waste collected will not be enough.

You cannot allow your chemical plants to operate at their maximum efficiency.

So I didn’t choose Donghua Refinery.

However, when Liang Jincang was selecting the location, he did not disclose the information to the outside world.

It's just that he took a few people and wandered around the local area for several days and drew a sketch.

Then come back and plan.

In other words, outsiders don’t know the principles behind their site selection.

There is no such thing as a commitment to any manufacturer.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't offend anyone, right?

Liang Jincang thought for a while: "You mean, the director of Donghua Refinery instigated people to block the road for me and prevent me from building the factory. Does he want me to build the factory there?"

According to Liang Jincang's logic, the small refinery has caused serious pollution to the local area, and it is not so easy to feel at ease.

When pollution reaches a certain level, their lives are not easy. Many small refineries actually have many conflicts with local farmers.

Even if a fight breaks out, the losses will be huge.

Therefore, for refineries, they actually welcome companies that can handle waste residues, wastewater and other emissions to come downstream of their factories for recycling and processing.

However, the cadre's next sentence negated all Liang Jincang's conjectures:
Chapter completed!
