"Mainly ethylene and refining projects," Xie Dong said of the final project, "We are preparing to put these two projects into the Malaysia Economic and Technological Development Zone. The annual profits and employment opportunities brought by these two projects are unlimited. So I hope that everyone will do it for Pingxi
The city’s development department approves the launch of these two projects.”
After Xie Dong finished speaking, he stopped talking and sat there quietly, but his eyes kept scanning the people present, especially Gu Changde and Lei Hong.
"Let's all talk. I hope everyone can speak and clarify their opinions," Gu Changde said after seeing Xie Dong finish speaking.
No one answered, they were all silent.
Xie Dong looked at Wei Anyun, the executive deputy mayor standing aside.
Wei Anyun put down the pen in his hand very cooperatively, coughed and said, "Let me say a few words first. The ethylene and oil refining project is a good project with a high return on investment and a large number of jobs. I participated in this matter. I will fight for it."
There is a lot of space for the two projects, and it was finally through the efforts of Mayor Xie that we won them. Now the other party is waiting for our reply. I hope all members of the Standing Committee agree. After all, it is difficult to get such an investment of several billion.
Of course, when I say this, I must agree with it."
Xie Dong looked at Wei Anyun. There was no surprise in his eyes, but a hint of anger, which Wei Anyun did not see. The words of Standing Committee Vice Mayor Wang Xufei and Zou Bingyun were exactly the same as Wei Anyun's, and they both supported it.
The venue cooled down again. Xie Dong and Gu Changde both looked at Leng Liang. Of course, the meanings they saw were different. What did Gu Changde want to determine from Leng Liang's statement? Xie Dong, on the other hand,
I hope Leng Liang, like Wei Anyun and others, will express his agreement with his opinion.
But Leng Liang didn't seem to notice the glances from the two of them, and buried his head wondering what was written there.
Hong Yun, the organization director, raised his head and said, "Since everyone is silent, let me say a few words. I do not approve of this project."
Hong Yun's words did not arouse the slightest reaction from everyone. From the perspective of those present, this seemed to be expected.
Hong Yun said, "Before the meeting, I also checked relevant information. This ethylene and oil refining project has a great impact on the local environment and ecology, especially if this project is to be built in the Economic Development Zone, I am even more opposed to it because
The Economic Development Zone is close to the urban area."
"I agree with Minister Hong's opinion, but I also hold an opposing opinion."
Secretary-General Lin Longfei also spoke there at this time and said, "I think everyone sitting here is very aware of the consequences of the cement plant in the Economic Development Zone, right? Many citizens now wear masks when commuting. Is this pollution still there?"
If it’s not heavy enough, do you want another deeply polluting project?”
"I don't agree with the Secretary-General's opinion." Wei Anyun stood up at this time and vetoed Lin Longfei's opinion. "Any project will have some impact, including the cement plant, but it will not be as serious as what the Secretary-General said. Besides,
This time both the ethylene and refining projects have related funds to deal with pollution, so there is no need to worry about these."
Hong Yun said, "Vice Mayor Wei, you said the same thing when the cement project was launched, and your original reply had no impact at all, but what about now? So such an argument is untenable."
Wei Anyun was a little angry, but he didn't continue.
Xie Dong looked serious there. It was hard to tell what he was thinking at this time. But it was somewhat certain that he was thinking about how to get these two projects off the ground.
"These two projects must not be promoted. I think such issues should not be discussed on the Standing Committee."
Lei Hong spoke there, which made everyone focus on Lei Hong. Xie Dong was even more furious at this time.
Lei Hong said, “Ethylene and oil refining projects are highly polluting projects, and the gases they produce, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide, are extremely harmful gases that are harmful to the human body and also emit carcinogenic substances.
At the same time, workers who work in this environment for a long time have a particularly high incidence of dermatitis, conjunctivitis, pharyngitis and other diseases. And I have also checked relevant information. In Houston, the United States, because there are many large refineries, the air quality has been poor for many years.
It ranks last in the United States, and has the highest incidence of cancer and asthma. Even the most developed United States cannot solve the problems of oil refineries! Let alone China, which is just starting out."
Huh, Xie Dong snorted coldly at this time and said with great dissatisfaction, "Did Secretary Lei say it was too serious? Vice Mayor Wei also said just now that there will be supporting protective measures during the installation. Besides,
Well, if it was really so serious, would China still agree to the establishment of these two projects?"
Lei Hong smiled faintly and said, "Mayor Xie, the Secretary-General also said just now that for projects like cement plants, it should be relatively easier to prevent pollution than these two projects. What's the result? The result is
Now everyone is complaining."
At this point, Lei Hong glanced at Xie Dong and said, "If Mayor Xie dares to say in front of everyone in China that you guarantee that these two projects will not cause any harm, then I will support it with both hands."
Xie Dong's face turned red. He really didn't dare to fight this guarantee, and he couldn't fight him, because he knew his purpose very well.
Lei Hong ignored Xie Dong and continued, "If everyone really cares about economic development, you should know that developed countries have stopped such high-pollution projects one after another and transferred these high-pollution projects to developing countries.
, why is this? Do they really have such good intentions and receive such good rewards, yet they remain indifferent?"
Lei Hong looked at Xie Dong and said, "Mayor Xie also said just now, if such a project is really polluting, will China approve it? I would like to correct this, China does not have relevant documents to support and agree with this.
The project has been launched, but it is still being verified and discussed. This is because China's current technology, especially environmental protection technology, is not mature enough. However, the upper levels have not explicitly prohibited it. They only hand over these projects to a very few companies for experimentation, but there are certain restrictions.
Quantity limit. Mayor Xie, I think I am right? But there are document requirements. Such a project must be put into operation in a remote place with sparsely populated areas and where the wind direction is downwind."
Xie Dong didn't speak, but the expression on his face was angry.
Lei Hong continued, "I believe everyone knows that the location of the Economic Development Zone is upwind. This is why the public has greater opinions now. That is because the dust produced by the cement factory has flowed into the city, so I am firmly committed to this project.
stop."
"I support the project establishment"
Just after Lei Hong finished speaking, deputy secretary Leng Liang made his position clear, and looked directly at Lei Hong.
Lei Hong's expression didn't change at all. In fact, he no longer had the slightest doubt about Leng Liang's stance.
But Gu Changde's face showed deep concern.
Xie Dong's expression was different, showing a very happy expression. In his opinion, as long as Leng Liang expressed his position, there would be no problem. Even if Lei Hong and Gu Changde were against God? That would be okay.
Yu Bu, you must know that the Standing Committee is a place for collective decision-making. Although the municipal party secretary has a veto power, he believes that Gu Changde will not use this veto power because he is a princeling and a second-generation red generation.
, Mr. Xie’s family is still here.
Sure enough, after Leng Liang stated his position, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Long Dejun and Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Feng Jilai both expressed their approval. Now there are seven votes in favor. Even if the neutral military division commander Meng Honghai and Propaganda Minister Liu Xiaofei object, it is only
Just six votes.
The proud expression on Xie Dong's face was unmistakable. He looked at Leng Liang, and the two had a pleasant eye contact. In their opinion, there seemed to be no controversy over this matter.
Gu Changde's face was dark. He kept looking at Lei Hong, but Lei Hong was sitting there quietly like a fine person. This made Gu Changde very anxious. He knew that it would definitely happen later.
During the voting process, do I really need to use my veto power? But in that case, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Just when several different mentalities were intertwined, the door of the conference room was opened, and Gu Changde's secretary walked in.
"Secretary Gu, the province just called and asked you and Mayor Xie to rush to the provincial capital now. A provincial meeting of cadres at or above the department level will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon, and they especially emphasized that they must attend on time."
The secretary's voice was very loud, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Gu Changde frowned, then stood up and said, "It seems that this matter will be postponed for a while. Commander Meng and Minister Liu's speeches will only be suspended."
Having said this, Gu Changde looked at Xie Dong next to him and said, "We have to hurry up, time is very tight right now."
Xie Dong did not expect such a situation, and the anger on his face was obvious. He looked at Lei Hong who was calm beside him, and he really wanted to eat Lei Hong alive.
At the same time, this sudden change also made Leng Liang a little confused. He thought he would see Lei Hong's painful expression immediately, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.
Xie Dong snorted heavily and walked out of the conference room. The other members of the Standing Committee stood up with different expressions and looked at Lei Hong intentionally or unintentionally.
"Deputy Secretary Leng"
When everyone had finished leaving, Leng Liang and Xie Dong seemed to be very inspired and did not leave. After seeing the last member of the Standing Committee leave, Lei Hong shouted to Leng Liang.
"Did you plan this in advance?"
Leng Liang asked calmly,
Lei Hong did not answer Leng Liang's words, but smiled faintly and said, "I heard that you are an out-and-out Pingxi City person, and you are also honored as the secretary of the underground municipal party committee. I also heard that you are upright and don't like it.
You reached out and grabbed things randomly, and you were firmly opposed to the launch of the cement plant last time. Why did you agree this time? Don’t you know the harm of these two projects after they are built? "
