Chapter 17 Liu Zhou's first round of confrontation
Liu Handong drove back to Jiangbei overnight, handed the water sample to the person arranged by Secretary Xu, and quickly conducted a test. The results were obtained in the early morning, and the water sample did contain diethyl carbonate.
After the information was fed back, Xu Ning immediately made arrangements to publicize on the Internet and spread the news about Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park discharging industrial chemical solvents into the Huaijiang River.
At 8:30 a.m., Secretary Xu of the municipal government opened the mayor's mailbox and found an email reporting that a large amount of toxic chemical solvents had flowed into the Huaijiang River from a leak in the industrial condensation pipe in the Xiaoshang Village Industrial Park. He immediately forwarded it to the Municipal Work Safety Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau.
, ordering relevant departments to investigate.
Both the Work Safety Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau are relatively marginal units in the municipal government system, but they have certain powers and a lot of leverage. The top leaders of the two bureaus are deputy positions promoted by Liu Fei when he was the mayor. Naturally, they have a lot of influence on them.
Boss Liu is grateful and loyal. Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park is Liu Fei’s proud work. Safety supervision and environmental protection are all green lights. It’s too late to protect him. How can he find faults and find faults?
However, the reports from the masses forwarded to the mayor's mailbox should not be taken lightly, in case the mayor intervened and it would be difficult to communicate, so both bureaus instructed the Yunshan branch below to go to Xiaoshang Village to conduct an investigation.
Law enforcement officers from the Work Safety Supervision Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau came, but the security guards of the industrial park still refused to accept it and turned them away. They reported the business to Fumin. The business manager was surprised. He took every precaution, but still failed to prevent the news from leaking out.
But it doesn’t matter. Safety supervision and environmental protection are all our own. The economic development of Xiaoshang Village is to pollute first and then treat it. In recent years, we have dealt with the Environmental Protection Bureau a lot, and we have long been familiar with it. The safety supervision is no stranger.
Friends who have interacted with each other.
"Let them come in and check whatever they want." Shang Fumin said. He was very sure because the emergency repair crews worked overtime last night and had plugged the loopholes. If they just took a quick look, they wouldn't find any problems.
The joint inspection team from the Work Safety Supervision Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau walked around the industrial park, took a general look, questioned several workers, and concluded that the leak was false.
Before leaving, Shang Fumin asked someone to prepare some gifts. Of course, the comrades in the inspection team refused to accept them. Civil servants are very cautious these days. Who dares to touch the muzzle of a gun?
After sending the inspection team away, Shang Fumin said: "It seems that someone wants to mess with us. The reporter at the police station tried to find a way to deal with him."
At the town police station, the reporter was taken into a room. Sitting across from him was an officer wearing bluestone high-tech work clothes. He took out a thick envelope and handed it over without saying a word.
The reporter took the envelope and took it out. Inside was a thick stack of RMB, estimated to be about 10,000 yuan. This was money to ward off disasters. He pushed it back on the spot and said sternly: "What are you doing, bribery?"
"
The man smiled sinisterly and said: "I did it according to the rules of the road. It's your business whether to accept it or not. I'll just ask, who asked you to come."
I have seen the dark side of reporters a lot, so naturally I didn’t want to do this, so the man didn’t force me, he just collected the money and left.
There was a camera installed in the corner of the ceiling of this room, which captured this scene. The video data was handed over to the people in Xiaoshang Village. The reporter will be severely punished by the law.
Shang Fumin felt that the situation was getting more and more serious, so he picked up the phone and called Tang Yinuo, the president of Qingshi Hi-Tech.
"Mr. Tang, there was a small accident. The condenser pipe of the factory leaked last night, and a small part of the electrolyte entered the Huaijiang River. Somehow, people found out about it. Security and environmental protection personnel came just now, and there was a leak last night.
Some reporters wanted to enter the factory for interviews, but they have been controlled. There were also unidentified people operating near the water intake of the circulation system at night. I suspect this is an action against our industrial park."
Tang Yinuo was shocked: "Leak? Is it serious? Is it poisonous?"
"The toxicity is very small. It's too exaggerated to eat it with rice. At least you won't die if you drink it." Shang Fumin said, "It's not like you don't know our craftsmanship. It's environmentally friendly and non-toxic."
Tang Yinuo was just a white glove guy who knew a little about finance. He didn't know much about the specific production process as Shang Fumin. After hearing this, he was still a little worried, so he put down what he was doing and rushed to Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park.
Shang Fumin accompanied Tang Yinuo to inspect the workshop where the accident occurred. As a precaution, they all wore gas masks. The workshop was producing normally and everything was business as usual.
"Several workers were exposed to solvents and developed symptoms of nausea and vomiting. They have been sent to the village central hospital for treatment. Other related personnel were arranged to stay at the Hot Spring Hotel, under supervision, and had no contact with the outside world," Shang Fumin said.
.
Tang Yinuo nodded: "What impact will leaking electrolyte have on the environment?"
Shang Fumin said with a smile: "The danger of diethyl carbonate is that it is flammable and explosive. There is nothing to worry about in terms of toxicity. A ton of solvent flowing into the Huaijiang River is just a drop of water in the sea. It will not cause any impact. It has long been
Diluted.”
Tang Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was the environmental incident.
"However." Shang Fumin changed the topic, "Old people are ignorant, and the fire cannot be contained in paper. I suspect that the secret has been leaked. Someone in the city wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble and cause trouble for Secretary Liu. Mr. Tang, you have to report it to the higher ups.
Take a moment, otherwise we will be passive when things get serious. You know, the communication power of the Internet is terrible."
Tang Yinuo was convinced. He hurriedly ended the inspection and called Secretary Liu's secretary to report the matter.
Liu Fei was very politically sensitive, and he could tell from the dispatch of the Work Safety Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau that Zhou Wen was behind this incident.
"If you want to fight with me, you are very young." Secretary Liu stood on the top floor of the Suzaku Hotel, looking down at the world with arrogance.
…
The leakage incident continues to unfold. Someone broke the news on the Internet, saying that hundreds of tons of poison leaked from the Xiaoshangcun Battery Factory, and all of it flowed into the water intake of the waterworks one kilometer away. The tap water in Omi is no longer safe. Drink too much.
It will kill you, pregnant women will miscarry, and you will get skin diseases if you use it for bathing. At the same time, people started to rush to buy pure water in the market, driving vans and sweeping away the bottled water and bottled water in the supermarket.
People always have a herd mentality, especially retired old men and women who have nothing to do. They usually line up to buy cheap eggs when they don’t have a chance to buy them.
Everything in the supermarket was bought, and the supplier was too late to rush to deliver the goods. The shelves in the supermarket were empty, and even the high-end imported mineral water was sold out.
The Environmental Protection Bureau urgently refuted the rumors on its official Weibo, saying that there was no production accident in Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park and that after testing, the water in the Huaijiang River was safe.
The water company also issued a statement, claiming that the tap water is safe and hygienic and can be drank.
Qingshi Hi-Tech Xiaoshangcun Production Base reported the case to the local public security department, saying that someone was creating rumors that would have a huge negative impact on the factory, and requested the public security organs to investigate and deal with the case strictly.
Refuting the rumors and reporting the crime did not alleviate the negative impact of the rumors. Some people were still hoarding drinking water. This incident finally alerted the mayor, and Zhou Wen summoned the directors of the Work Safety Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Although the two directors were members of Secretary Liu's group, within the government system, they had to listen to the mayor's call. Faced with Zhou Wen's rebuke and questioning, they repeatedly stated their stance to conduct an in-depth investigation and come up with a report as soon as possible.
That night, the propaganda department intervened. Omi TV News introduced the environmental crisis at great length, saying that the industrial zone did use Huaijiang water as a cooling cycle, but it was absolutely safe. The chemical solvents used in the battery factory were flammable and non-toxic.
If there is a leak, it will have no big impact and will not cause an ecological crisis.
The Omi City Government Information Office also responded to clarify the rumors. News spokesperson and anchor Ling Zijie took a glass of tap water and drank it on TV in front of millions of viewers to prove that the river water was not polluted.
The reporter also interviewed fishermen and cargo ship sailors on the Huaijiang River, and everyone reported that the water quality had not changed at all.
"We use river water to wash rice and wash vegetables. If there is pollution, we will be the first to find out. This is purely a rumor, a low-level rumor." The boatman with a tanned face smiled honestly and effectively refuted the statement that the river water was polluted.
.
The next day, Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee made a high-profile inspection of Qingshi Hi-Tech Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park. This was a routine survey with no real content. It was just for encouragement and support. Liu Fei said at the symposium that some people with ulterior motives questioned Omi’s speed. This
It is against the people of the whole city, it is a clown's behavior that does not know what it can do.
Tang Yinuo and Shang Fumin were deeply inspired and full of energy. Shang Fumin issued a military order in person and put it into full production on July 1st.
Secretary Liu smiled and said: "I don't want your head. I want Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park to thrive and contribute to the development of Omi."
"I guarantee with my party spirit that I will complete the task." Shang Fumin was extremely excited.
At the same time, the public security organs quickly mobilized and arrested several netizens who spread rumors about the contamination of the Huaijiang River water on the Internet, and imposed administrative detention and fines on them respectively.
The Public Security Bureau also arrested a TV reporter suspected of extortion. According to the video, he extorted a sum of money from Xiaoshang Village, and got mad when the amount did not meet the requirement.
With these foreshadowings, the Work Safety Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau were strengthened. In their report to Zhou Wen, they insisted that the safety production management of Xiaoshangcun Industrial Park is in place, and the environmental protection work is even better, and it can be called green.
Environmental protection unit.
This round of competition basically ended with Zhou Wen being completely defeated.
…
Zhou Wen didn't take the temporary defeat to heart. The new mayor wanted to fight the local snake secretary, which was unrealistic in itself. This initiative was just a small retaliation for the last blood sample incident. Both sides won a round.
, tie.
The next step is to arrange the troops. Zhou Wen was completely suppressed by Liu Fei in the Standing Committee. His proposal was bound to be stillborn. It was impossible to replace high-level cadres in the municipal government system on a large scale. He could only start quietly.
, the layout from the grassroots level requires the strong assistance of one person, Ding Guanchen, the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee.
Minister Ding is Zheng Jeff's secretary, and is about the same age as Zhou Wen. They had dealt with each other earlier when Zheng Jeff was in power in Jiangdong Province. Although the relationship was not deep, when they met now, everything was clear.
The meeting was held at the Jiangbei Guild Hall, a private club opened by Jiangbei businessmen in Omi. The location was secret and outsiders could not even find the door. Zhou Wen acted cautiously. He knew that Liu Fei had a group of people who specialized in shady activities.
I am proficient in surveillance and eavesdropping, so I walked around a few times before taking a taxi to go there.
The club arranged a private room for the two leaders. After serving two cups of tea, the service staff left. Zhou Wen got straight to the point and said, "Minister Ding, I have to rely on you."
Ding Guanchen smiled and said: "Mayor Zhou is very polite. If you need any assistance, just ask. As long as it is beneficial to the development of Omi, our organizational department will definitely support it."
Zhou Wen said: "You are also aware of the current situation. Some key departments do not have their own people and it is difficult to carry out their work. I want to transfer a few capable people to the propaganda office and the political and legal office. The level can remain unchanged, but the people must be transferred."
come over."
Ding Guanchen said: "Please draw up a list for me. I can't guarantee the specific time. Try to arrange it as much as possible."
Zhou Wen handed over the list he had already prepared, and Ding Guanchen stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it. The two parties shook hands and said goodbye before leaving separately.
After leaving the club, Zhou Wen saw an inconspicuous car parked on the side of the road from a distance. The car window with dark car film slowly rose, and a cold man wearing sunglasses sat vaguely in the car.
A picture emerged in Zhou Wen's mind. A few seconds ago, this guy was taking random pictures of himself with a telephoto camera. He got angry and took out his mobile phone to dial a number.
"Zhuo Li, help me arrange for a few people to live in Omi permanently. They must be capable, smart and skilled."
