As soon as he finished speaking, reporters from news media in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan applauded. Many European reporters also applauded and expressed their appreciation for Nie Huizhen's flexibility and wit. The reporter who asked the question also knew that he was not good at this moment. But he shrank back dejectedly.
At this time, a Donglu reporter raised his hand. Nie Huizhen Huibang frowned. He had the least favorable impression of these Japanese people. Nie Huizhen Huibang had the least favorable impression.
Influenced by his grandfather since childhood, Nie Huizhen felt a little angry when he returned to his youth. But after all, he was not an ordinary person and would not show it even if he had no good feelings. Then he pointed at the Donglu reporter and said: "It's just you ().
The Donglu reporter stood up and bowed: "Your Excellency, I am Watanabe Kojiro, the reporter from the "Selling News" station..."
Before he finished speaking, Nie Huizhen Huibang interrupted Watanabe Kojiro's words. His face became serious and he said solemnly: "Are all people in Dongli speaking English at your level? The correct translation method of China. The most basic etiquette of respecting a country and respecting a person at home is to have accurate pronunciation. If your English is not good, you can speak Chinese. If all Donglian people have this attitude, I'm sorry and I will refuse to answer your question. . ”
Nie Huizhen Huibang was also pretending to be stupid. At this time, he knew that the word was not English but a discriminatory name for China. But Nie Huizhen Huibang did not say it. Even if he did say it, it would also reflect the image of the country. an influence.
Watanabe Kojiro's face turned red at this moment and he looked at Nie Huizhen with resentment as he returned to the country again: "I'm sorry, my exam is not very good. I also read the report you issued after asking Mayor Nie. As far as I know, your government has returned to the government beforehand. We have not signed a clear agreement with Weirgang and other three companies to carry out strict sewage treatment. Now that you are doing this, is it breaking the contract? And I think these are normal sewage discharges belonging to a company and there is nothing wrong with them."
Nie Huizhen, another guy who stole goods in exchange for ideas, cursed in his heart. These Japanese slaves are really slavish. Now they are hugging the American master's thighs tightly and won't let go. Little does he know that a Guangdong The Chucheng Agreement set Donglin back ten years or even two or ten years.
Then Nie Huizhenhuibang also said in a deep voice: "Mr. Watanabe, I personally think you are misleading. First of all, a company must have a sense of social responsibility. I believe that three companies such as Weir Gang and others are very successful in their own countries." The factory's sewage discharge facilities must be very advanced. If no clear agreement is signed, does it mean that their companies in the United States and their companies in other countries have the same discharge? If the above three companies can treat them equally, I guarantee that they will be restored immediately. Production and compensation for losses. As for your last sentence, it is even more funny. Normal sewage discharge does not show any biological signs in the entire polluted area. Is this normal? Is it normal that the originally clear river water turned into black water? If you I think it's normal. I'm willing to invest in relocating all three companies to your country. I wonder what Mr. Watanabe's plan is?"
Nie Zhendu's words are sharp and sharp, giving people a feeling of strong resilience (). This is completely different from the friendly approach of the Chinese government in the past. In Nie Zhendu's case, These foreigners saw what a great country looks like.
At this time, a European reporter stood up and said: "Dear Mr. Mayor, I am a reporter from Reuters in Germany. After reading the report you provided, I was shocked. This is a crime. What will you do to the three companies in the future?" What kind of treatment measures are there?”
Nie Huizhen Huibang looked at the chairman next to him, and Prime Minister Taiyun also looked over. This matter had not been discussed in advance. Nie Huizhen Huibang would not dare to make the decision in this situation. Look. From the words of affirmation and appreciation expressed by Premier Yun in return, it was clear that Nie Huizhen could return home to express his position on behalf of his country.
At this moment, Nie Huizhen returned to the country in deep thought. He and the Prime Minister had also said something about the follow-up issues, but they were not very systematic. At this time, he had to be cautious if he rashly expressed his stance on Nie Huizhen's return to the country. This was considered the most serious test.
After pondering for a moment, Nie Huizhen Huibang stretched out three fingers and said: "My request is very simple. First, Will and other general departments of the three companies published an apology in the newspaper. As a responsible company, such false accusations and attempts should not happen. The second and third companies must immediately transform their sewage systems and issue detailed treatment plans and pass the acceptance of our environmental protection department. Each company will pay a fine of 300 million yuan as the cost of pollution treatment and local The U.S. government and the U.S. Embassy must apologize for the negative consequences caused by this protest."
After the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar. The first article was acceptable. The second fine was acceptable even though it was three times more than the previous one. Nie Huizhen Huibang was right about the sewage system. This is a must-have supporting facility. As for the second article, it was acceptable. This is what everyone is amazed about. Mayor Nie Huizhen is so bold. He actually made such a request. You can imagine that the White House will definitely ignore it.
After the words fell, some reporters from the United States, some of whom considered themselves citizens of a superpower, immediately shouted: "No, this is impossible. We are the only superpower in the world. Mayor, are you representing Liangxi City?" On behalf of China, can I consider this a provocation to our great United States? You are trying to cause a war. We cannot and will not apologize to any country or region."
Nie Huizhen Huibang frowned and looked at Mr. Yun Huibang. At this moment, Nie Huizhen Huibang saw Mr. Yun Huibang nodding slightly. He felt calm. Then Nie Huizhen Huibang also burst out with an aura. Looking at the reporter, he said: "Can you represent President Clinton on behalf of the U.S. government?"
After a pause, Nie Huizhen returned to the country and said again: "Here I reiterate that it doesn't matter who I represent, whether I go back to my country or represent Liangxi City, this is our attitude as a people." The dignity of a big country cannot be violated. It is true that as you said, the United States is the only superpower in the world. But when President Clinton directly questioned him without even investigating, I think this decision must be hasty and unfair. Responsible. Facts have proved that you have been deceived. A big country, especially a superpower, should have the courage to take action. If the U.S. government does not even have this kind of tolerance, I will express my disappointment. This is not the behavior of a big country. .Okay, that concludes today’s press conference. Thank you all friends from the press.”
The next day after the press conference, the headlines of newspapers all over the world were exactly the same. Although the headlines were different, the core content was just the style of a great country. The chapter not only expressed the rise of China, a great power, but also the Let’s guess whether the attitude of the United States, a superpower, is really that of a great power.
On the afternoon of the press conference, Ambassador Hamilton of the U.S. Embassy in China personally visited Hu Yunlong, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and proposed that the Chinese and U.S. governments jointly form a special inspection team to visit Liang. Three US-funded companies in Xixi City were inspected. The tone was much lower-key than the previous protests. This also shows that the attitude of the US government has changed.
Naturally, Mr. Yun would not refuse such a thing, and he readily agreed to the U.S. request and immediately organized environmental experts from well-known domestic universities such as Huaqing University and Beijing Huicheng University to go home and rush to Liangxi City. The American delegation will fly directly from the United States to Jiangzhou City.
Nie Huizhen returned to Liangxi City () as the official representative of China and the representative of the United States, U.S. Ambassador Hamilton.
This time the Americans were very efficient. The next afternoon, the American team arrived in Jiangzhou City and stationed in Liangxi overnight. After a late night's rest, they were jet-lagged.
Early the next morning, joint teams from China and the United States entered three companies. After seeing the scene, Hamilton walked over and took a closer look at the cement troughs on both sides, enduring the peculiar smell at the sewage outlet. Even a layman like Hamilton could see that the sewage outlet had no trace of being re-forged. Looking at the black river water under the river embankment.
Hamilton was also shocked.
The expert team also issued an objective and fair report. However, the three companies did not carry out any pollution treatment. All industrial wastewater and waste residues were directly discharged. It is estimated that the downstream losses will exceed 3 billion yuan in the follow-up Pollution control is a long process.
After hearing the news, Hamilton immediately reported the results back to China. The next day, American newspapers and Chinese newspapers simultaneously published public apology letters from three American-owned companies. At the same time, the three companies sent senior managers to Liangxi City to discuss the follow-up. processing matters.
The most shocking and concerning thing is the apology issued by the U.S. government. Originally, all Chinese people thought that it was impossible to get the Yankees to apologize. But Nie Huizhen was very confident in what he said. If Clingwell wasn't stupid enough, he would definitely apologize.
Sure enough, three days later, the U.S. government finally responded. Representative Klingwell sent an apology to the Chinese Academy of Sciences on behalf of the U.S. government.
Seeing this, Yun Chaoli nodded slightly and smiled, and then wrote back to the secretary next to him: "Please arrange for this article to be published immediately by "Hope Daily", Huaxia TV and other Wenjia news media. "
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Qian Jin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. Now Nie Huizhen's reputation in the country will probably become a national hero. (To be continued.
