"***, alas, this..." Yu Youhe had something to say and shook his head.
"Are they colluding?" Boss Ye snorted.
"Most of the comrades are good at it, but a small group of comrades have taken away other people's things and have become the protective umbrella of the local mine owners.
Several major cases that occurred the year before last were caused by farmers who were dissatisfied with the mine owners who occupied their land. In the end, the owner of the land was maimed or even killed, and his relatives filed a lawsuit with the police. In the end, some compensation was paid.
Money matters.
Their power is too huge, and farmers are a weak-sighted group, so how can they withstand their power. In the end, what will happen after the land is occupied and there is no land to eat, so they have to work in the mines.
To be honest, those mines are not as safe as they are safe. They only know how to make money. If an accident occurs, sometimes they just bury them on the spot.
If people find out, the most you can do is get some money to settle the matter. If the family members refuse, use force. In the end, things will be settled naturally." Yu Youhe said with a solemn look on his face.
When the car entered Qingniu City, Mr. Wu Danglin and Mayor Gu Shunli had already been waiting at the door of the city hall with the municipal party committee and government team.
Mr. Wu Danglin's face looked quite thick-lined, comparable to that of a butcher. The image of Comrade Zhou Fude, the county party committee secretary in Machuan, immediately appeared in Ye Fan's mind.
Although the two don't look alike, their postures are somewhat similar. Mayor Gu Shunli, on the other hand, wears gold-rimmed glasses and looks as gentle and quiet as a scholar.
After seeing Ye Fan's car stop, Wu Danglin strode up with a big smile and said: "We Qingniu were chosen as the first stop to welcome the mayor, which shows that our Qingniu is still worthy of the mayor."
It’s a place to take a look! Haha..."
Wu *** seemed to be very happy and held his hands tightly with Boss Ye.
"Qingniu has been developing very well in recent years! It suddenly rose from seventh place to second place in the city. I heard that if it develops like this, it will be on par with Anlou District, which is number one. Great! Such a development
The momentum is good, and if all major districts strive to reach the top, it is something our city government would like to see." Ye Fan praised it.
Comrade Wu Danglin was naturally so happy that he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Thank you, mayor, for the compliment. I, Wu Danglin, didn't do anything. It was all the comrades who worked together to create the current legend of Qingniu." After he finished speaking, he glanced sideways.
Mayor Gu Shunli stood aside and was waiting to shake hands with Mr. Ye.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but Comrade Wu Danglin was so happy that he held Boss Ye’s hand with both hands for five or six minutes.
Mayor Gu on the side could only smile stiffly with his smiling face. In fact, he was already scolding Wu Danglin for being such a jerk in his heart. You just held the mayor's hand and wouldn't let go.
"I heard that the mayor came here for a casual walk. Secretary-General Yu, can you tell us a little about the walking route so that we can lead the way?" Mayor Gu interjected.
"Go to the municipal committee and sit down first. You have to let the mayor get enough rest first. I'm tired after driving for a long time. Comrade Shunli, we can't tire out our mayor." Wu Danglin snorted.
"Okay, let's go sit down at the municipal committee first. As for rest, I think just having a casual meal will be fine." Ye Fan nodded. This face should be given to Comrade Wu Danglin.
The urban construction of Qingniu City is quite good, and there are a few decent high-rise buildings. Moreover, the streets are quite wide, and they should have been recently built.
When we arrived at the Municipal Party Committee, we had a simple symposium, and then went to the guest house for dinner. However, after entering the guest house, Mr. Ye was still stunned for a few times. This box was too damn luxurious, and he would never lose to
of a five-star hotel.
"Qing Niu is very rich!" Ye Fan glanced around and said calmly.
"Haha, this is a box specially designed to entertain leaders, so it should be done in a decent manner. It is not easy for leaders to come down to inspect their work. We have to let them eat well. Otherwise, how can we do revolutionary work when we are exhausted? Mayor, right?
?All this is arranged for work." Wu Danglin naturally heard the implication of Boss Ye's words, his face was stunned, and he said. He said all the extravagance and waste were for work needs. This guy's mouth
, it can also be called a masterpiece.
At the wine table, the core team of Qingniu City took turns toasting to Mr. Ye to show respect. Of course, among them, Mr. Ye finally felt the passion for power.
After dinner, Ye Fan went to the room to rest for a while.
Comrades Wu Danglin and Gu Shunli came again to ask for instructions on the afternoon's itinerary.
"Let's go shopping in the industrial area." Ye Fan said calmly.
When Wu Danglin and Gu Shunli heard this, they looked at each other and made arrangements.
"Comrade Lin, I heard that the copper processing industry in Qingniu Industrial Zone has a particularly good reputation?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes, Qingniu is the distribution center for the province's copper processing industry. Even if we were to rank the entire Nanfu Province, it would be among the top three.
The copper processing industries of Qingniu, Canghai and Badu are known as the top three copper cities. Of course, Canghai is a coastal city and a special zone. They started old and have abundant funds.
Coupled with the geographical advantage, it naturally ranks first. The economy of the eight cities ranks among the top five in the province, and the copper they process has its own advantages. Our Qingniu is catching up with them based on the quantity of copper."
Wu Tanglin said.
"Why can't we catch up with them when there are so many?" Ye Fan asked casually.
"Well, it's up to Mayor Gu to tell you about this matter." Wu Danglin glanced at Comrade Gu Shunli sideways and said.
"Mayor, I'm not afraid of losing my family. Although the amount of copper produced by our Qingniu exceeds Canghai City and Badu City combined.
However, we only have more copper raw materials, so the output value is less. The money that others sell for a copper product is several times or even dozens of times more than ours.
Therefore, we have to bring a cart of copper materials to exchange for one of their copper products." Gu Shunli said, looking a little embarrassed.
"Why not develop high value-added copper products, such as copper artworks, copper products for expensive machines, etc.?" Ye Fan asked.
"We have no technical advantage in this regard. Moreover, they are ahead and the client has already been taken away by them.
It is a complete industrial chain, and it is too difficult for us to join in. Therefore, all the time, we can only pick up the remaining low value-added products that they are unwilling to do and process them.
Originally, we wanted to build a more complete industrial chain. However, it was too difficult. For example, the production of motors requires a large amount of copper, but the motor equipment industry is not in Qingniu.
As long as one chain is not well connected and customers feel inconvenienced, they will naturally look for places with complete industrial chains to invest.
Moreover, today's customers are all uncles. We ask them to make money, but they still have to serve us. Not only are they picky and picky, but they also ask for preferential policies and policies, and they also propose a series of things that are difficult for us to do.
Alas, this has formed a vicious cycle, and all high-end customers have been taken away by them. In fact, we can only do some hands-on work in the copper industry.
Take our country, for example. Basically, the products exported abroad are low-end products. It says "Made in China" everywhere, but in fact we don't make much money." Mayor Gu also made some sense.
Because the industrial zone is newly built, the planning and construction are pretty good. Ye Fan walked around and took a look, accompanied by the two heads of the family.
However, Ye Fan discovered a big problem. Although there were still some pollution problems in the factories in the industrial zone, the problem was not particularly big. It should be said that it was controlled within a controllable range.
"Mayor Gu, you have done a good job with the environment! Many industrial zones in the province have a big problem, which is that they are extremely harmful to the environment." Ye Fan asked deliberately.
"Since the construction of the industrial zone, we have put environmental issues on the agenda. Moreover, we have strictly controlled construction and approval.
We don't want companies that don't take pollution control measures. We would rather make less money than do it at the expense of the environment.
Of course, as you saw just now, mayor, there are still some unsatisfactory things. However, we are still continuing to make rectifications, and environmental governance will never be shelved," Gu Shunli said.
After visiting the industrial area, Ye Fan went to the city for a while and stayed in a guest house that night.
"Youhe, I didn't find any serious pollution problems. Their industrial zone is well constructed! Is there something hidden in it? What's going on?" Ye Fan looked at Comrade Yu Youhe.
"It's just superficial. I heard some time ago that someone sued our Haidong City because of the copper in Qingniu Market.
When the mayor visited the industrial zone, all their pollution control equipment was turned on and production was deliberately reduced, so it seemed to be within an acceptable range.
Actually, this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is where they transferred the sewage." When Yu Youhe said this, Ye Fan was slightly stunned and asked, "Transfer, where did it move to?
It should be a secret communication to the outside world, right?"
"I heard that they are very smart and built a large sewer directly to the lower reaches of Tailiang River. So, we just drove into the city and saw that the condition of the stream seemed to be pretty good. However, if the mayor goes to the lower reaches
If you walk around, you can see the clues. I have been to that place before, and the stream is yellow, green and smelly, which is a disaster for the cities downstream.
Is the water problem almost unsolvable? Therefore, the following cities have been suing our Haidong City. In fact, the biggest source of pollution is in Qingniu City.
Of course, this matter is difficult to solve. Development and environment have always been two big issues. If you want development, you don’t need the environment. If you want the environment, you don’t need development. Moreover, environment and poverty are often linked.
If we really want to solve the problem, we must close all sources of pollution. Then what else will Qingniu City have to eat? Of course, some coastal cities are doing very well now.
But how can our Qingniu compare with them? They have mature supporting measures, excellent geographical conditions, and are not afraid of companies leaving, etc. If the mayor wants to start from the environment, he will probably encounter a lot of resistance.
Moreover, the sudden loss of Qingniu City in Haidong will definitely affect Haidong's financial ranking in the province.
Furthermore, it is estimated that the indicator rankings of other industries will be affected. In this way, the comprehensive index will definitely decline." Yu Youhe also frowned and said.
