Section 71: Hard choice

After Xu Bicheng and Luo Rui left, the reception room became quiet.

Whether it is Yang Jinguang, Zhang Hongwei, or Mei Jiurong, everyone knows that Xu Bicheng will leave, but they are afraid that there will be endless storms again.

This project is extraordinary. The investment of 30 billion yuan is a fatty meat that cannot be refused wherever it is. It can even be said that even if you have to pay some price for environmental protection, many provinces will have to bear it without hesitation. Zhao Guodong, Yang Jinguang and Zhang Hongwei are all very clear about this, which is also the main reason why they feel huge pressure.

It is not only Tongcheng that can provide the necessary natural gas resources. Sichuan, Chongqing and Xinjiang can all provide them. Perhaps they are not as good as Anyuan in terms of comprehensive conditions, but if Anyuan's requirements are too excessive, it is difficult to say whether there will be some twists and turns in the process. Even if they still settle in Tongcheng in the end, I am afraid that the province will still maintain a superficial harmonious relationship and will completely break down.

Zhao Guodong didn't want this, but it seemed that the situation was unstoppable.

Relying on the support of Ling Zhengyue, Lu Weihong was obviously a little perfunctory about some of the questions and requirements he raised last time. In his opinion, no one can stop such a huge project. If anyone is sorry for such a project, it is to give it to himself and not go there.

Yang Jinguang noticed that Zhao Guodong's face was also a little gloomy, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Tongcheng's performance, but Yang Jinguang believed that Zhao Guodong's attitude on this issue was too tough and sloppy.

With an investment of 30 billion yuan, it is no wonder that Tongcheng has spared no effort to promote it. They believe that BASF and Sinopec have promised to handle and build environmental protection completely in accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, and to absolutely ensure that this project has no impact on the safety of life and property of the surrounding people and the ecological environment. However, the project is still in the pre-examination stage, and it is indeed a bit difficult for the project party to come up with specific plans and opinions immediately. This is no wonder Tongcheng is not very happy.

Ling Zhengyue has sufficient reasons to support this project. Even at the Standing Committee, Ling Zhengyue will definitely receive the support of the vast majority of Standing Committee members. Yang Jinguang believes that it is not a wise move to rashly intensify the conflict between the two sides under the current situation.

"Governor, I think we still have to consider the actual situation of Tongcheng and this project. Some requirements can be gradually achieved during the project construction process. It does not necessarily have to be fulfilled before. This requirement is too harsh." Yang Jinguang smacked his lips and pondered: "It is normal for industry giants like BASF and Sinopec in Germany. I want to put such a large investment in other provinces and cities, but I am afraid they will be more arrogant. Tongcheng or Anyuan actually has no choice."

Zhao Guodong understood the meaning of Yang Jinguang's words. In fact, Germany's BASF and Sinopec had made some concessions when they exchanged views with him last time. After all, they came from the National Development and Reform Commission and worked in the Ministry of Energy. Both Sinopec and BASF knew the details of this. They could not be untouched by their opinions, or they could not take any action without taking any action. Even if it was a false conspiracy, they had to decorate the storefront with something practical.

"Jinguang, I understand what you mean, but do you think if we stick to our requirements, they will have a stumble with us? In other words, how likely is it that they will choose another place?" Zhao Guodong looked serious.

Yang Jinguang was surprised, glanced at Zhao Guodong's expression, and said tentatively: "Governor, this is not necessary. Many problems can be resolved through negotiation. Both parties can make some compromises. As long as they can do the terms we think are principles, I think we can make a step forward in some details and take them to gradually improve them after the subsequent project starts construction."

"Hmph, I'm afraid that Sinopec and BASF have a good word. After the work is really started, I'm afraid you will be unable to intervene." Zhao Guodong sighed softly and shook his head. "I know the virtues of Sinopec and multinational giants too much. How high do you think their social responsibility is? Do you think they are really seeking development for the local economy wholeheartedly? In the face of commercial interests and social moral responsibility, they will choose commercial interests without hesitation. Perhaps BASF in Germany has done well, but we must be careful. You don't improve these details in the early stage. I'm worried that later everyone will see the interests after completion. In their minds, some environmental problems are just insignificant details. Think about it, by that time, do you think we can stop such a big project? I'm afraid that public opinion and pressure from all sides will make you unable to take action."

Yang Jinguang remained silent. He admitted that what Zhao Guodong said was true, especially in the current political environment of Anyuan, Ling Zhengyue had already shown an impatient "development" sentiment. If anyone dared to "hinder economic development", in his mind, it was the roadblock that should be removed.

The reason why Zhao Guodong has been here for so long and Ling Zhengyue and Zhao Guodong can still maintain a peaceful appearance is that Ling Zhengyue also has hope that Zhao Guodong can come up with a decent "gift list" in economic development, which can also increase An Yuan's weight across the country and make him look shining. If Zhao Guodong is not able to show something special, I am afraid that Ling Zhengyue's patience will be difficult to maintain for too long.

Yang Jinguang was worried that Ling Zhengyue would want to turn the road in this project, especially Lu Weihong, who is a person Ling Zhengyue admired very much. Ling Zhengyue would inevitably think that Zhao Guodong would have intentionally made things difficult for Lu Weihong, and even thought that Zhao Guodong was afraid that Tongcheng would steal Ning Ling's limelight, so if this was the case. If this thought was together, Ling Zhao and the others would be afraid that they would be awkward in every issue. Yang Jinguang was the most worried about this.

"Governor, we cannot preset all possibilities. We can only consider the current situation and the project itself. Perhaps what you said may exist, and it is even very likely to become a reality. However, as a first-level government and various administrative functional departments, I think it has the responsibility, power and ability to supervise the project in advance. We also have enough strength to prevent, restrain and resolve possible problems and problems that have already arisen." Yang Jinguang carefully said, "Just you said, we can set up a supervision team for this project to urge the project owners to correct and improve in the aspects of insufficient work. However, given the importance and timeliness of this project, we should still consider the actual development needs in a realistic manner."

Zhao Guodong smiled bitterly and lowered his head, but said nothing.

"Governor!" Yang Jinguang was really anxious. If Zhao Guodong insisted on not giving in on this issue, he could indeed find a basis for support, but this would inevitably worsen his relationship with Ling Zhengyue, which would even exceed the matter itself. The two of them had only been working together for more than two months, which would lead to a huge storm. It can be imagined what the central government would think, and how much impact this would have on Zhao Guodong's political image?

Zhao Guodong understood that Yang Jinguang's concerns were not the problem itself, but the emotion that might arouse. He also understood? But Zhao Guodong also had his concerns. Once he opened his mouth on this issue, if other places followed suit, it might be like a flood in the future. Of course, this is just the worst idea. The key is that Zhao Guodong does not want to make unprincipled concessions on this issue.

"Jinguang, I understand, let me consider it." Zhao Guodong's heart was filled with an indescribable bitterness. He had long known that even if he was sitting in the position of governor, he might not be able to act completely according to his own ideas, but he didn't expect that this sense of frustration would come so quickly.

Everyone else left, Zhao Guodong sat alone on the sofa, feeling tired and meditated.

He is not the kind of person who is unrestrained, but he has to take risks in choosing some issues.

It’s not that he is afraid of taking political risks. The key lies in whether it is worth taking political risks and moral risks on this issue. He thinks it is not worth it. This is said to be flood control and rescue or handling emergencies. He needs to make a decision to take political risks. Zhao Guodong is not afraid of it, but a commercial project like this has to take on moral risks, which he thinks is not worth it.

Is it really worth it? In the eyes of outsiders, is this a simple business project? Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is an opportunity for Tongcheng to develop and revitalize. This is true. Zhao Guodong was thinking about it and tried to look at the problem from the other party's perspective, in order to convince himself.

Do you have subconsciously a hostile feeling? Do you have no room for maneuver on this issue? Deep in your heart, do you want to find reasons to make things difficult because Lu Weihong and Ling Zhengyue are too close?

For a question, it seems difficult for you to look at and analyze something with an absolutely objective attitude.

Yang Jinguang's worries were not unthinking about how Ling Zhengyue would think about this matter? Moreover, Zhao Guodong could also imagine that the Standing Committee members would basically support Ling Zhengyue one-sidedly on this issue. This may be an unbearable blow to him, which will cause him to lose too many points and put his future work in a huge dilemma.

Keep the green mountains there and don’t worry about burning firewood. Is this sentence suitable for yourself now? Is it accurate?
