Duan Zetao did not care about the emotions in Shu Danming's words and said bluntly: "The most important thing now is to calm down the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there are casualties, it will be even more difficult. So I suggest that, first, hold a press conference immediately to make an announcement.
The px project is still in the stage of scientific popularization and demonstration, and will never be launched hastily before reaching a consensus with the public. Second, for
We publicly apologize to the people who were accidentally injured in this incident. Third, we urge the criminals who beat, smashed, and robbed to surrender themselves. The public security organs will severely crack down, and remind the public not to listen to a small group of criminals.
He was instigated and committed an extreme act that I will regret for the rest of my life!... I had a special exchange of opinions with Secretary Tianlong before I came here, and he also meant the same thing..."
Shu Danming had been listening to Duan Zetao's words with a gloomy face. It was okay that Duan Zetao didn't mention Ye Tianlong, but when he mentioned Ye Tianlong, he became very angry. You Duan Zetao, you actually teamed up with Ye Tianlong to suppress me. I really misjudged you.
, you are just a piece of grass that is blown away by the wind! Before Duan Zetao could finish speaking, Shu Danming stood up suddenly and waved his hand vigorously.
Interrupting Duan Zetao's words, he said angrily: "I disagree! I don't think there is anything wrong with implementing the px project. This project is included in the 12th Five-Year Plan and must be carried out! What do ordinary people know? If everything is done
If you listen to them, why do you need the government? If you do what you say, what prestige will the government have in the future?..."
Duan Zetao was also a little angry. He stood up and argued with each other: "Whether the government has prestige depends not on big sticks and force, but on integrity and leading by example! If you insist on going your own way, it will only make the situation worse!...
”.
Shu Danming was like a fighting cock with red eyes at this time. He couldn't hear any different opinions at all. He waved his hand vigorously and said: "I am the governor and the highest commander here. You don't need to do anything here."
If anything happens, I will be responsible!..." The argument between the two naturally ended unhappily.
However, the seriousness of the situation far exceeded Shu Danming's expectation. That night, there were messages on the Internet such as "Mingmao turned into hell overnight, innocent people were killed", "Army tanks suddenly appeared on the streets of Mingmao, and blood flowed into rivers!" and so on.
Rumor-mongering posts, in which fake photos of people lying on the ground with blood on their heads and tanks marching on the streets were posted, which instantly stirred up waves. All kinds of bloody rumors that were unfavorable to the Mingmao government quickly spread on the Internet.
spread.
What's worse is that after seeing the false rumors on the Internet, many famous traders who didn't know the truth walked out of their homes angrily and gathered in front of the municipal party committee gate again. The number of people suddenly exceeded yesterday, reaching an astonishingly close number.
Thousands of people!
At this time, some young people with tattoos and blond hair appeared on the street. They rode motorcycles and started throwing gasoline bottles at the roadside storefronts. After throwing, they ran away. At this time, the road was full of protesting people, police and armed police.
Unable to drive to catch up, and not receiving instructions from superiors to shoot, and having to hurry up to extinguish the flames, I could only watch helplessly as the criminals who were as slippery as mice were wreaking havoc everywhere, and the situation was completely out of control.
Shu Danming was also shocked when he received the report. He had to keep calm and instruct the supervision department to quickly refute the rumors online. At the same time, he ordered the police and armed police forces to quickly arrest the criminals who caused the trouble. However, by this time, the rumors had spread like wildfire online.
, Mingmao’s official rumor-refuting post was like a stone dropped into the ocean, no one believed it at all, and it was quickly submerged in a massive amount of rumor-mongering posts.
As more and more protestors gathered, the police and armed police were unable to distinguish between ordinary people and the lawless elements who fanned the flames, which made their arrests very difficult. Although they also caught several blond men throwing gasoline bottles
Young people, but they are all street gangsters with no money and salt. They can't find anything famous at all, let alone find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
The famous trade incident quickly escalated, attracting national attention and even alarming central leaders. Even Shu Danming's uncle, the big boss of the Central Organization Department, personally called Shu Danming and said in a very stern tone, "Danming
, what did you do? How did you create such a big mess! If the situation in Mingmao City is not under control and continues to deteriorate, the central government will send an investigation team down. No one can protect you by then, so just wait.
Take off your hat!...".
Shu Danming didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate to this point, and he couldn't help but secretly regret not listening to Duan Zetao's suggestion. However, he was so proud that he was unwilling to bow his head, so he finally decided to go all out and asked Xie Shuzhen to find a tweeter.
Protest mass dialogue!
Under the protection of the brigade of armed police, Shu Danming came to the gate of the Mingmao Municipal Committee. Seeing the black heads outside the gate, Shu Danming was even more frightened. At this time, the protesters outside were shouting "PX project go away"
The slogan "Mingmao Market!" was very loud. Shudanmin shouted several times with a loudspeaker, but the sound was drowned by the huge sound and could not be heard at all.
In the end, Shu Danmin had no choice but to ask his entourage to bring a chair, stood up on it, and shouted with all his strength: "Comrades, fellow citizens of Mingmao City, I am Shu Danming, Governor of Western Guangdong Province.
Can you please be quiet and listen to what I have to say?..."
The name of the governor still has some effect. When the protesting people heard that the governor was coming and wanted to talk to them, their voices gradually dropped. "The governor is here. It seems that our protest is still effective. Let's listen first."
What do you think he said?" the protesting crowd asked incessantly.
When Shu Danmin saw that the protestors' voices had dropped, he quickly seized the opportunity and shouted loudly: "Comrades, you may have some misunderstandings about the PX project. PX is not as scary as you think. PX is only a low-toxic chemical, and
Its entire storage and production process is carried out in completely sealed tanks.
It will not harm human health at all if it is carried out under installation conditions. These have been verified by experts. The fundamental purpose of the government's PX project is to promote the economic development of Mingmao City and improve everyone's income level. Whether it is for Mingmao
The city government still does more good than harm to everyone!..."
It should be said that what Shu Danming said is not wrong. Because of the fear of unknown things, the toxicity of PX has indeed been exaggerated in China. The public's understanding of PX does have some misunderstandings, but because the public's resistance to the PX project is too great.
It's a big deal, and what Shu Danming said has been mentioned many times in the previous indoctrination propaganda of Mingmao City. When the protesters heard it, it became a cliché. There was nothing new, but it made the people suspicious.
