Time passed very quickly. With the conclusion of the investment promotion conference, various investors also settled in the high-tech industrial park. At this time, those power companies also began to resume power production in an orderly manner.
Because they found that Liu Haotian had a very tough attitude towards pollution control, and at this time, the county party committee secretary Meng Qinghu's attitude towards these polluting enterprises became more and more ambiguous, and he did not support them as clearly as before, but
They must consider the overall development of Longhu County and have serious negotiations with Liu Haotian.
Under this circumstance, they have realized that with the entry of these high-tech enterprises, the survival of these serious polluting enterprises will become increasingly difficult.
Especially when Liu Haotian gave them time to prepare for their gradual withdrawal, more and more companies became more and more anxious.
In particular, Lin Xiaohu, the chairman of Longhu Electric Power Group, directly resumed production. After all, for Longhu Electric Power, as long as production continues, the daily profit can be hundreds of thousands, which he is absolutely unwilling to give up.
As for gradually withdrawing, he had never thought about it, because he believed that as long as these power companies united, Liu Haotian would have no way to do anything to them.
Moreover, they have already formulated a strategy to remove the salary from the bottom of the cauldron, which will make Liu Haotian completely admit defeat.
Liu Haotian has also been very busy recently, but many people don't know what he is busy with, because during this period of time, Liu Haotian often travels to some villages and towns in mountainous areas, and sometimes he even travels for a day or two.
Everyone in Longhu County has long been accustomed to Liu Haotian's behavior, so no one pays much attention to it anymore.
Three months after the investment promotion meeting, with the entry of funds from major investors, Longhu County High-tech Zone ushered in the peak period of construction. High-rise buildings can be seen rising from the ground everywhere.
Huge tower cranes are constantly operating, and various material transport vehicles are running on the roads in the high-tech zone.
This morning, Liu Haotian came to the High-tech Zone again for inspection. Qi Zhidong, the director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, personally accompanied him and inspected various construction sites.
From time to time, Liu Haotian communicated with the persons in charge of the major investors who stayed on the construction site, asking them if they had encountered any difficulties and what kind of coordination they needed from Longhu County.
These people in charge said that Longhu County and the High-tech Zone have done a good job in this area, and they have not encountered any difficulties so far.
Liu Haotian is very satisfied. This shows that Qi Zhidong has a good control over the management committee after taking office, and the heads of all aspects of the management committee attach great importance to these investors and provide excellent services.
At this moment, Liu Haotian suddenly discovered that all the tower cranes that were originally running suddenly stopped, and the noisy construction sounds seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Liu Haotian suddenly frowned.
At this moment, the cell phone of the person in charge of the sensor manufacturer who was communicating with Liu Haotian rang.
The project manager of the construction company said in an anxious voice: "Mr. Wei, the entire construction site suddenly lost power. The workers on the tower crane are very anxious now. More than a dozen workers are trapped on the crane at the top and bottom of the construction, unable to get up or down. They are very scared.
Mr. Wei turned pale after hearing this. He knew very well what a sudden power outage meant during busy construction.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wei looked at Liu Haotian and said: "Mr. Liu, there was a sudden power outage at the construction site. Now people are panicked. Both the main power supply and the backup power supply are unusable."
At this moment, Qi Zhidong's cell phone also rang, and it never stopped. He quickly received a series of calls.
After putting down the phone, Qi Zhidong looked at Liu Haotian with a serious expression and said: "Mr. Liu, we are in big trouble. All construction sites in our Hi-Tech Zone have a power outage. Including the Hi-Tech Zone Management Committee."
Liu Haotian's face darkened at that time. He called the person in charge of the Longhu County Electric Power Company and asked directly: "There is a power outage in the High-tech Zone. What's going on?"
"Mr. Liu, I just received news that all power companies in Longhu County have stopped transmitting power to our power grid at the same time. At the same time, all the power grids that were responsible for coordinating power supply to us have also stopped supplying power. That is to say, now
Our Longhu County Electric Power Company has no power available. Magistrate Liu, I was just about to call you. I hope the county can coordinate and help us obtain power resources. Otherwise, I am afraid that our jurisdiction will fall into a widespread power outage.
"
After hearing the other party's response, Liu Haotian's face became extremely solemn.
At this moment, Liu Haotian's phone rang.
After Liu Haotian answered the phone, a familiar voice sounded beside Liu Haotian: "Mr. Liu, I am Lin Xiaohu, the chairman of Longhu Electric Power Group, and also the president of Longhu County Electric Power Association. I now represent our Longhu County Electric Power
All members of the association, and on behalf of all power plants in Longhu County, formally submit our demands to you."
Liu Haotian's face was a little gloomy, but his tone was very calm: "If you have any demands, tell me."
Lin Xiaohu said: "We ask the county to issue a document directly to completely cancel the relevant regulations that require us power companies to withdraw completely after one year, and allow us to produce and operate normally. Otherwise, I believe that the power supply in Longhu County will
Supply will encounter serious obstacles. This is not what we power companies want to see. But without us power companies, I believe this problem will always exist."
When Liu Haotian heard this, he still didn't understand that the large-scale power outage that had just occurred was caused by the joint efforts of these power generation companies.
Liu Haotian snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Lin, if I don't agree to your request, our Longhu County will face a continuous large-scale power outage?"
Lin Xiaohu nodded: "It will definitely be like this."
Two cold gleams flashed across Liu Haotian's eyes, and his tone suddenly became tough: "Mr. Lin, I will give you one last chance. Are you sure that you power generation companies must force me to take back the previous document?
?”
Lin Xiaohu nodded: "Mr. Liu, this is necessary because we power generation companies need to survive. We cannot accept the fate of gradually withdrawing within a year. We have made such a big contribution to the economic development of Longhu County."
You cannot ask us to withdraw completely just because we have introduced these high-tech enterprises. This is unfair."
Liu Haotian nodded slightly: "Okay, then let me ask you one last question, can you represent all other power supply companies?"
Lin Xiaohu nodded: "Yes, I can represent that all our power companies are now in the conference room of our company. If you need, I can ask each of them to stand up and express their position."
Liu Haotian nodded: "Okay, let's make a video call. I want to see if what you said is true and if they are willing to express their support for you."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Haotian directly had a video call with Lin Xiaohu through the 5G video call technology that came with his mobile phone, and witnessed with his own eyes the scene where dozens of leaders of power companies put pressure on him collectively.
Liu Haotian smiled after reading it: "Comrade Lin Xiaohu, heads of electric power companies, I understand your attitude."
Lin Xiaohu said with a smile: "County Magistrate Liu, how do you respond to our demands?"
Liu Haotian said with a smile: "My response is very simple, only three words."
"What three words?"
"Impossible!" Liu Haotian said each word one by one.
Lin Xiaohu's face darkened at that moment, he glared at Liu Haotian on the video call and said, "County Chief Liu, are you kidding?"
Liu Haotian said coldly: "Do you think I'm joking?"
"Aren't you afraid that Longhu County will always be in a state of widespread power outage?" Lin Xiaohu said aggressively.
Liu Haotian smiled disdainfully: "Do you think you power companies can cover the sky with one hand?"
After saying that, Liu Haotian hung up the phone directly, and then dialed the number of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yan Zhixiong: "Secretary Yan, this is Liu Haotian. Now some power production companies in our Longhu County are forcing me to take back all the comprehensive information about our county.
We have formulated a document on the gradual withdrawal mechanism for serious power polluting enterprises. They have jointly stopped supplying power to our Longhu County power grid. At the same time, they have also conducted a lot of public relations. The city's power grid has also stopped supplying power to our Longhu County. Now I request
Please help us coordinate this matter."
Yan Zhixiong was silent for a while and said slowly: "Liu Haotian, I already know about this matter. I can also help your county to coordinate this matter, but there is one thing that I must make clear to you. Your Longhu County
These power companies are indeed very powerful. Not long ago, a leader from the province greeted me and made a tactful criticism of Tianmu City’s attitude towards power companies. At the same time, he also made it clear that due to the province’s power
The gap is relatively serious. Therefore, the power resources that can be allocated to our Tianmu City are also limited and cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities. Therefore, in the future, the power gap in our entire Tianmu City will be relatively large. Therefore, your Longhu County side
Although I can coordinate part of the power supply, it is impossible to supply it in unlimited quantities. You must find a way to supplement the power gap, otherwise, we will all face difficulties."
Only then did Liu Haotian suddenly realize why Lin Xiaohu, the chairman of Longhu Electric Power Group, acted so tough. It turned out that they had so much energy.
Even Secretary Yan felt the pressure.
Liu Haotian pondered for a moment and said: "Secretary Yan, please give me three months. I promise to completely fill up the power gap in our Longhu County within three months. At the same time, even after one year, even if
Without these thermal power plants, our Longhu County will continue to be the largest power output base in Tianmu City!"
Yan Zhixiong was stunned for a moment because he did not expect that Liu Haotian would speak so wildly.
However, Yan Zhixiong trusted Liu Haotian's talent and nodded lightly: "Okay, then, I will personally coordinate and ensure that there are no problems with your power supply in Longhu County in the past three months. But
It only lasts for three months, not even one more day."
Liu Haotian said: "No problem. Just three months!"
With Yan Zhixiong's intervention, the power supply in Longhu County was fully restored an hour later.
In the conference room of Longhu Electric Power Group, the heads of these power companies all had serious expressions, because they all knew the news that the power supply in Longhu County had been completely restored.
Hu Tiande, chairman of Tianma Electric Power Group, said with a face full of grief and indignation: "The matter has been investigated clearly. The reason why the power supply in the High-tech Zone was able to be restored so quickly this time was because Yan Zhixiong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, personally coordinated and restored power to other counties and districts.
After the power indicators were squeezed respectively, they were finally adjusted to Longhu County.
However, it only lasts for three months at most."
Lin Xiaohu, chairman of the Longhu Electric Power Group, said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that Liu Haotian would have such a strong relationship and be able to find the secretary of the municipal party committee to personally coordinate this matter. Let's talk about what we should do next."
Huang Yungang, chairman of Lingkong Electric Power Group, raised his head and said: "I think that since Yan Zhixiong has come forward, it will be useless for us to contact anyone within three months, so our only way now is to wait for three months.
I believe that after three months, Liu Haotian will definitely surrender to us!"
After careful discussion, everyone found that facing Yan Zhixiong's personal appearance, they really had no good solution and could only wait for three months.
As time goes by, Longhu County almost looks the same.
On the one hand, in Longhu County High-tech Zone, factories and office buildings are rising one after another. Some factories have begun large-scale recruitment, and many working-age workers around the High-tech Zone have begun to work.
Many recent and past college graduates in Tianmu City have also begun to come to Longhu County High-tech Zone to apply for jobs, and even college students from some famous universities have also come here.
Because there are a lot of high-tech companies here, and the annual salaries offered by some of the more high-end jobs are relatively high. Although the location is a bit remote, the annual salaries offered by these companies are high, so graduates from these prestigious universities don't mind.
The location here is a bit remote.
Suddenly, the High-tech Zone was booming.
At the same time, many people in the impoverished mountainous areas of Longhu County also discovered changes in their surrounding environment. Many originally bare stone mountains suddenly had patches of shining silver solar panels.
Longhu County is a mountainous area, and many mountains have sparse trees and occasional bushes.
Various economic fruit trees are difficult to survive.
Due to the emergence of these solar panels, many people around mountainous areas have found jobs, especially those whose families are slightly more difficult, and will be given priority.
With two days left before the three-month deadline, the atmosphere in the conference room of Longhu Electric Power Group seemed very depressing.
Huang Yungang, chairman of Lingkong Electric Power Group, said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Lin, all of us have been deceived by Liu Haotian."
Lin Xiaohu nodded slightly: "Yeah, I really didn't expect that Liu Haotian would have such great courage and powerful means, and he would actually introduce three major photovoltaic power generation companies, turn the barren mountains into treasures, and fully develop the photovoltaic power generation business.
If the current trend continues, I am afraid that in one year's time, even if there are no thermal power generation companies like ours, relying solely on these photovoltaic power generation companies, Longhu County will become the power supply base for the entire Tianmu City.
By that time, we, thermal power generation companies, may really have no room for survival."
"Then what should we do?" someone asked.
Lin Xiaohu closed his eyes and pondered for a while: "The situation is pressing. If we continue to challenge Liu Haotian, we will definitely die!
We dared to challenge him before because we thought Liu Haotian would be unable to leave us.
But now it seems that even without us, the economic development of Liu Haotian and Longhu County will not be too seriously affected, because we did not expect that Liu Haotian would directly introduce three major photovoltaic power generation companies to Longhu County.
It now seems that the concept of clear waters and green mountains is gold and silver has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Regarding environmental protection and ecological civilization construction, Longhu County and Tianmu City have implemented it very solidly. The living space of our highly polluting enterprises has been seriously affected.
Compression, if we want to continue to maintain profitability, we indeed need to transform the economic development model, so I think we should join forces to establish a large-scale photovoltaic power generation enterprise and directly enter the photovoltaic power generation industry. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of county documents, in
Slowly withdrawing from the thermal power generation industry within a year is an inevitable historical trend and we are powerless to stop it.
And we have to admit that photovoltaic power generation is indeed pollution-free, and we power generation companies must conform to the general trend of history, otherwise we will inevitably be eliminated by the times."
Just as these thermal power companies were discussing what to do next, these coal manufacturers in Longhu County were also holding meetings.
Because as the demand for thermal power generation decreases, coal manufacturers have more and more backlogs. Especially with the increase in external coal imports, coal companies are facing a severe situation. In order to survive, they must find a new way.
path of.
In the conference room of the entertainment club invested by Zhang Tianqiang, the largest coal boss in Longhu County, more than 20 coal bosses were sitting around the conference table with serious expressions.
"Mr. Zhang, the demand for coal in thermal power plants is less than one day now, and the market situation is not good. Coal has piled up in our warehouse. We must find a way to sell it. Otherwise, we will not be able to do anything this day."
pass."
A coal boss said with a bitter look on his face.
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Zhang, the provincial road from Longhu County to Tianmen County should be repaired. That road is too dilapidated. Our coal trucks can easily break their axles when crossing that road.
phenomenon. You must go to Secretary Meng in person for this matter."
Everyone was talking to each other, and most of them were praising Zhang Tianqiang.
Zhang Tianqiang was so overwhelmed by the praise of everyone that he immediately patted his chest and said: "Okay, since everyone trusts me and supports me so much, it is my duty to go to Secretary Meng. However, there are some things I must say first.
Let me make it clear to everyone that Secretary Meng may give me some face, but sometimes, some things cannot be solved with face alone, and when it’s time for you all to bleed, you also need to bleed.”
Everyone said there was no problem.
Zhang Tianqiang immediately took two people into his luxury car worth tens of millions and drove all the way to the county party committee compound.
At this time, in Liu Haotian's office, Qi Zhidong, director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, placed a planning plan he had formulated in front of Liu Haotian.
"Mr. Liu, please take a look. This planning plan is a supplementary plan that I customized based on the recent situation of our high-tech zone and the county.
I think that with the rapid development of our Longhu County High-tech Zone, the current road traffic conditions in our Longhu County are no longer enough to meet our needs for road transportation, especially as more and more companies begin to put into production in the future
, there will be a large amount of materials transported in and out, and our current roads from Longhu County to Tianmu City and surrounding counties are still mainly provincial roads. Although there is a highway passing through our Longhu County,
It is twenty or thirty kilometers away from our county seat, and even further away from the development zone. Road transportation is very awkward.
Especially now that major investment companies are in the midst of infrastructure construction, the provincial roads leading to high-tech zones are often congested, and major companies are complaining. I think we must solve this problem as soon as possible.
The best way to solve this problem is to build a highway from our county and high-tech zone to the highway network 30 kilometers away. If possible, it is best to build a highway directly to Tianmu City at the same time.
, in this way, it will be very beneficial to enhance the convenience of transportation and logistics in our Longhu County."
Liu Haotian stood up and walked to the map of Longhu County and Tianmu City hanging on the wall. He observed it carefully for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we in Longhu County really need these two maps."
highway.
But I estimate that the difficulty is not small. After all, if these two expressways are built at the same time, they will be at least more than 80 kilometers long. According to the construction cost of the expressway, at least tens of billions of funds will be needed, and this fund will be
This is an unbearable burden for Longhu County. The county finance department will definitely not be able to spend so much money.
And now that half of the year has passed, even if we ask for financial support from the city and province, I’m afraid it may not be available soon, so we have to think carefully about it!”
At this moment, the phone on Liu Haotian's desk rang. It was the director of the county party committee office, informing Liu Haotian to come to the county party committee for a meeting, saying that the county party committee was preparing to discuss issues related to strengthening road transportation construction in Longhu County.
When Liu Haotian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and said: "You can come and get whatever you want. We are discussing the construction of the highway. You are about to have a meeting to discuss this matter. I just happened to bring this matter to you."
We will mention it at the meeting. Now that the county has reached a consensus, I will think of a solution from the city and province."
Qi Zhidong was also a little excited.
At this moment, in the office of County Party Committee Secretary Meng Qinghu, coal boss Zhang Tianqiang was lighting a cigarette for Meng Qinghu: "Secretary Meng, thank you so much. As long as this provincial road of more than 100 kilometers can be built, the taxes paid by coal companies like us will definitely increase."
Significant increase. I promise not to smear the GDP data of our Longhu County!"
