Duan Zetao said that the situation of Dongshan Dairy he investigated was shocked by Li Benshun and Zhou Boqing. The previous melamine case of Sansheng Dairy had shocked the whole country, and even the senior central leaders were alarmed. The city secretary and mayor of the city where he was located were removed from his post, and the director of the National Quality Inspection Bureau resigned. Not only did Sansheng Dairy suffer a heavy blow, but the dairy industry across the country plummeted. Now there is a melamine case in Dongshan Province again. That is really a big incident!
Li Benshun was still cunning when he was able to become the secretary of the provincial party committee. Although he was shocked, his face was still calm. He forced himself to not spray out a mouthful of milk that had just been drunk, but he felt very disgusted. The cup of milk he drank was produced by Dongshan Dairy, so he calmly put down the milk cup in his hand.
Zhou Boqing and Li Benshun exchanged glances, their faces became solemn, and then asked tentatively: "Comrade Zetao, are all the things you just said verified? Is the evidence conclusive? Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't believe you. It's really too much to do with this matter. Dongshan Dairy Group is a star enterprise in our province, a big profit and tax owner, and has thousands of employees. It will inevitably have an adverse impact on the economic development and stability of the province. We have to be cautious!..."
Duan Zetao smiled slightly and said, "I understand your feelings. No one wants to see such a thing happening, but if I have not found out the evidence, I will not report to the two leaders. In fact, our investigation team arrived in Nanshan City half a month ago. All the situations I reported before were seen by me at Dongshan Dairy Group. For this reason, I also worked in the production workshop of Dongshan Dairy Group for half a month..."
Li Benshun and Zhou Boqing looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise. It turned out that Duan Zetao had arrived in Dongshan Province and had found out everything. He, as the director of the State Food and Drug Administration, visited the production workshop of Dongshan Dairy Group in a private manner, personally went to the production workshop of Dongshan Dairy Group to go undercover, which shows how determined he is to investigate and handle the case.
Li Benshun stood up, walked a few steps in the room, and waved his hand suddenly, "Comrade Zetao, I feel very sad that such a thing happened to Dongshan Dairy Group. Our government has not supervised effectively, so there must be an unshirkable responsibility. As I said, our Dongshan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government will definitely cooperate with the actions of the State Food and Drug Administration. We will never cover up, let alone indulge and shelter! For the sake of interests, these people ignore the health and safety of the people, and even shoot them! No matter who is involved, we must investigate it to the end!..."
"However, Dongshan Province has a weak economic foundation. Dongshan Dairy Group is a key support enterprise in our province. We are planning to expand the production scale of Dongshan Dairy Group and build it into a leading enterprise in the national dairy industry. So I think if we can handle this matter internally and strictly investigate and punish the relevant responsible persons, and we will no longer report it to the central leadership or inform the news media. This may minimize the adverse impact of this matter on Dongshan Province..."
Duan Zetao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Li Benshun is generous and has a strong principle. He can be said to be a righteous person, but he is not a sage. When encountering problems that may affect his political achievements and political future, it is difficult for a senior official like Li Benshun to maintain a normal mind. However, Li Benshun can stick to principles. If he encounters sinister things, he has made a good statement to you on the surface, but secretly notify Dongshan Dairy Group to destroy the batch of milk powder, then he will be really blind.
It seems that it is really difficult to convince Li Benshun. Duan Zetao took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Secretary Li, thank you for supporting our work, but there is one thing I have different opinions from you. You must have heard of the melamine case of Sansheng Group. I have reviewed the relevant case files before and found that in fact, three years before the Sansheng Group's case, Sansheng Group and the local quality inspection bureau had received complaints from consumers that after infants and young children consume Sansheng Infant Milk Powder, urine discoloration or urine particles occurred. However, Sansheng Group did not pay attention. Instead, by silenced the complainant, conducting so-called "crisis public relations" through advertising companies, deleting relevant posts on the Internet, and refusing to disclose the truth to the outside world. The local government also did not investigate and deal with the local economy for the sake of protecting the local economy, but instead cooperated with Sansheng Group to cover up the truth..."
"Later, the overseas joint venture of Sansheng Group also discovered this problem and immediately proposed to the Chinese investors and local governments of Sansheng Group to recall all the milk powder produced. However, the Chinese investors and local governments of Sansheng Group still had a fluke mentality, turned a blind eye, tried to hide it, and refused to formally recall it. The overseas joint venture had to report to their country government, and the government of their country reported the matter to our central government, which was taken seriously and officially began to investigate the matter..."
"What are the final consequences of this incident?! Tens of thousands of infants and young children who have taken Sansheng infant milk powder were hospitalized and four died. The country paid hundreds of millions of yuan for this. Many countries therefore banned the import of my country's dairy products. The entire Chinese dairy industry suffered a heavy blow! No matter how severe the punishment is, these losses cannot be recovered!..." Duan Zetao looked at Li Benshuncheng with a bright look, making a loud noise.
Li Benshun was also a little moved by Duan Zetao's words, frowned, and Zhou Boqing lowered his head and smoked. Suddenly, Li Benshun walked up to him and said in a deep voice: "Boqing, give me a cigarette!" Zhou Boqing suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Benshun in surprise. What's wrong with the old guy? He never smoked! But he still handed a cigarette to Li Benshun and lit it for him. Li Benshun took a few sips suddenly. The cigarette butts were bright and dark, just like Li Benshun's mood at this time, and was in a fierce battle between heaven and man.
Seeing that his words had been effective, Duan Zetao increased his tone and continued, "A lesson from the past, the teacher of the future, now that Dongshan Dairy has such a case has occurred again, shouldn't we reflect on it? Why are there always problems in the dairy industry? Why are there always people taking risks? If we continue to look so short-sighted, it will not only destroy the health of the people of the whole country and the entire Chinese dairy industry!..."
"I am going to take this Dongshan Dairy case as an opportunity to rectify dairy companies across the country and establish a new dairy safety supervision mechanism. I think this is not a good thing for Dongshan Dairy. As the saying goes, putting it to death can only lead to the realization of quality. Only after learning from the pain can quality be truly established. Even if it will be affected in the short term, it will definitely lead to a rapid outbreak of difficulties and a sustainable brand path!..."
