Section 70 Hot Topics

Xu Bicheng secretly scolded Lu Weihong for being cunning. It turned out that such super-large projects were good things that showed their faces and showed off their limelight. Lu Weihong would not leave it behind. This time, when he asked him to bring Luo Rui to report, he felt that there were some problems, but he did know that Lu Weihong had given this issue back to Ling Zhengyue, and he had also personally participated in the report with Lu Weihong, so he didn't think so much about it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guodong seemed to have no idea how much Ling Zhengyue attached to this project, and he still seriously followed the principles determined last time to pass the test one by one. Although he was prepared, in this case, he wanted to be careless and get away with it, which was obviously a matter of asking for trouble.

Xu Bicheng felt that it became a bit difficult for him to swallow his spit. Some of the questions raised by Zhao Guodong were indeed perfected, but they were mainly improved in the overall plan. They had not been truly included in the project plan, and even had not received the consent of the project owner. Some were completely stuck on paper and had a lot of work in writing.

It is obvious that Governor Zhao saw through this and showed no mercy at all.

Luo Rui also felt a little bitter in his mouth. Although he didn't think that Zhao Guodong was anything great before coming, especially with Luo Bing's factor, his mood was even more complicated. It's not that he wanted to rely on this shameful relationship. He even felt that it was a humiliation. This also made him psychologically include Zhao Guodong as a greedy and lustful character, and when he met Zhao Guodong, he lacked some necessary psychological respect.

But he found that his mental state was indeed not very good. In this specific atmosphere, some of his previous contempt and dissatisfaction quickly disappeared, especially when he saw Executive Vice Governor Yang Jinguang and Provincial Development and Reform Commission Director Zhang Hongwei sitting quietly aside, Xu Bicheng was sweating even more and more embarrassed and embarrassed expressions, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Tell me, why do I feel that you Tongcheng Municipal Government ignore the opinions of the provincial government?" Zhao Guodong leaned back slightly, with a calm expression. "I remember that the provincial government has meeting minutes on this project. The Provincial Department of Land and Resources and the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau have raised many questions, all of which are listed. I asked the Provincial Government Office to specifically hand them over to you Tongcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and let you explain how to solve these problems. Lao Mei, did they raise the questions raised by Tongcheng after receiving this meeting minutes?"

Mei Jiurong had just come in from outside, holding a stack of documents in his hand. After hearing Zhao Guodong's question, he hurriedly said: "It has been delivered, and the Tongcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have received it. At that time, I immediately asked the Provincial Government Office to pass it over after the Provincial Government Office."

"Old Xu, is this the result of your work during this period?" Zhao Guodong weighed the stack of information in his hand and said calmly: "I can't seem to see how many real things are."

Xu Bicheng swallowed with difficulty, "Governor Zhao, we are already carrying out some work, but you also know that this will not be taken out immediately in one or two days. There are also some we need to coordinate with the project owner. We have officially issued a document to Germany's BASF and Sinopec, requiring them to come up with plans in accordance with the opinions of the provincial government and relevant administrative functional departments. Uh, I guess there will be a reply in the near future. Uh, we have also had a candid exchange, and they also agree with the opinions put forward by the province, so..."

"So you just take the lead and start working in a hurry?" Zhao Guodong took a breath and said lightly.

He could understand the anxious mood of the Tongcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Lu Weihong also gave him a brief report on an occasion. Due to time reasons, he did not say much. He just asked Tongcheng to inform the project party to come up with a plan in accordance with the opinions of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources and the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, especially the opinions of the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau. Lu Weihong agreed readily, but did not expect that they were so fucked. A few general things that were verbally or written were wanted to fool themselves.

Xu Bicheng didn't dare to speak out when he heard Zhao Guodong's words.

"Old Xu, I'm not saying you, yes, this project is very considerable, it is very important to you Tongcheng and even to our Anyuan. However, this is not other projects, it is a chemical project. It is so large and involves all aspects. As a first-level government, we must treat it carefully. Once such a large project is started, it can be said to be irreversible, or the economic losses and political impact you may have to pay when you stop is difficult to estimate. Therefore, we would rather consider the problem carefully and improve the procedures in advance to prevent any adverse possibility. This is not only responsible to the people of Tongcheng, but also to our first-level party committee and government themselves!"

Zhao Guodong's tone became a little more severe.

Of course, he knew that Lu Weihong had already made a special report to Ling Zhengyue for this project. Ling Zhengyue showed a strong interest in this project. After all, it was a project with an investment of tens of billions, and it also had a great impact on the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Even Zhao Guodong himself was also very excited at the time. However, as a figure from the National Development and Reform Commission, he knew that all large-scale chemical projects such as this were a huge test in environmental protection.

Whether it is multinational enterprises or state-owned enterprises giants, they will not be stingy in production investment, but when it comes to environmental protection, they will always hold their wallets tighter than anyone else.

Multinational companies may be a little restrained because they are not familiar with the domestic situation. However, state-owned enterprise giants rely on their strong wealth and understanding of local conditions. Local party committees and governments rely on them a lot, and they are even more arrogant and arrogant. These companies are trying every means to take advantage of loopholes in policies and regulations, and try to avoid environmental protection responsibilities and be perfunctory. Or they want to push the solution of environmental protection problems to local governments. In many cases, in order to gain investment and drive the local economy, local governments have to bear it with their noses.

Zhao Guodong had dealt with these state-owned enterprises very early. In his memory, he met Cai Zhengyang and Dong Mingtang, the then deputy general manager of Dongneng Group, about the environmental protection project at the Andu Huayang Power Plant. The two sides fought openly and secretly.

Later, Zhao Guodong worked in the Ministry of Energy to work and deal with these giant state-owned enterprises more time, and his contacts with these giant state-owned enterprises became increasingly frequent, and he also had a clear understanding of the mentality of these state-owned enterprises. While pursuing GDP data, local governments had to rely more on the investment of these state-owned enterprises and giants. Therefore, in many cases, they seemed a little lack of confidence in the face of these state-owned enterprises, and thus lost some bottom lines that should have been drawn under the mutual cooperation between the two sides.

This project is a cooperation between multinational enterprises and state-owned enterprises giants. The investment scale is so large that it naturally has the intention of not having to worry about marrying the emperor's daughter. If An Yuanshen dares to challenge me, I will leave it for you to see who can waste it. Or just let some noise out and change the place to invest, see if you are panicked and see who will ask whom in the end.

However, for Zhao Guodong, who has been deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission for more than a year, the effect of this strategy is greatly reduced, and it can even be said to be meaningless.

Having seen the complex operation procedures of various large-scale projects, Zhao Guodong certainly knew the complexity of a project with an investment of more than 30 billion yuan. His preliminary research work should have started at least a year or two ago. In other words, at least the funds spent on the preliminary research, analysis and evaluation will not be less than 10 million. This is not considered a human and energy expenditure. For projects like this, whether it is the German side or Sinopec, they have long been determined. How dare they change easily?

In other words, unless the basic conditions of the investment project have changed, it is generally difficult to readjust, especially for chemical projects that require extremely high raw materials and transportation conditions.

Therefore, at the last provincial government office meeting, Zhao Guodong suggested that local governments should not be too accommodating to the project party, and should express their attitude with confidence. If you really feel that local governments have too many requests from the other party in some aspects and are difficult to raise conditions, you are allowed to "transfer conflicts" and hand them over to the superior government for "coordination and resolution".

But now it seems that Tongcheng still attaches too much importance to this project, and of course it is not ruled out that some other factors have misled Tongcheng. Zhao Guodong thought that perhaps the latter is more likely.

Zhao Guodong doesn't want to have any conflicts with Ling Zhengyue on this issue, but just judging from the various information provided by the current project, the environmental protection department's concerns are beyond doubt. If you make hasty decisions in order to win investment in such a large project, the first step is not strict. You have to rely on the State Administration of Environmental Protection and the National Development and Reform Commission to check for you, that is irresponsible.

"Okay, Lao Xu, I suggest that your municipal party committee and government should seriously and carefully implement the opinions put forward by the Department of Land and Resources and the Environmental Protection Bureau last time. I will arrange for the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Department of Land and Resources to form a special evaluation team to serve your project, but I want to emphasize that environmental protection standards cannot be reduced, which is a matter of principle." Zhao Guodong waved his hand lightly, "You can convey my opinions to Lu Weihong after you go back, don't be rushing to achieve success. Work progress and efficiency are not inconsistent with adhering to principles."

Xu Bicheng nodded a little depressedly. It seemed that today's trip was a waste of time. He was also a little puzzled. Could it be that Governor Zhao had never communicated with Secretary Ling before on this issue?
