When Gao Zilun said this, his face was full of anger, and he stared at Jin Binyang and Hu Yicheng almost angrily. His chest was rising and falling, obviously expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the way they handled this matter.
Jin Binyang and Hu Yicheng's faces became even more ugly. Gao Zilun's words were really heartbreaking.
Many times, in official circles, the most taboo thing is to tell the truth. Because the truth is the most thorny and hurtful.
Just like this moment, what Gao Zilun said was so true that it felt like needles pricking in the ears of Jin Binyang and Hu Yicheng. Their faces were full of embarrassment.
In the officialdom, who doesn’t want to pursue political achievements, and who doesn’t want to be able to do practical things for the people, just like the PX project. It’s not that they, the leaders, don’t know that there are certain risks in this project, but considering this project
After weighing the huge economic benefits and job opportunities it could bring, they finally believed that even if there were certain risks, the project should still be launched.
They made such a decision not only because the launch of this project would bring them political achievements, but also because they believed that such a project could indeed bring new opportunities to the economic development of Jiangkou City.
Everyone stands in a different position and thinks about the problem from a different angle. Jin Binyang and Hu Yicheng are parents, and they consider the development of Jiangkou City and the employment of the people, while Gao Zilun is the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and they think about discipline supervision and the people of Jiangkou City.
long-term benefits.
Jin Binyang and Hu Yicheng could only look at Liu Qingyu, waiting for Liu Qingyu's answer. Their hearts were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Of course, they are just showing this way. Liu Qingyu can put forward his opinions, but whether they listen or not is still their own business.
At this moment, Hu Yicheng's cell phone rang. When he answered the call, he heard a very anxious voice coming from the phone: "Mayor Hu, I don't know who released the news that Secretary Liu is coming to inspect today."
Go out. Now the front and back entrances of the entire biopharmaceutical group are blocked by angry people. They demand that our Jiangkou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government make an immediate decision to stop the PX project and continue to put it into production. Otherwise, their entire surrounding towns and villages will
We will go out collectively to petition and resolutely protect our living place from being seriously polluted!"
Hu Yicheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. This change was really beyond his expectation.
He looked at Gao Zilun, suspecting that Gao Zilun had spread the news, but he didn't have any evidence.
At this moment, Liu Qingyu was standing beside him, and he didn't know how to reply to his subordinates.
At this time, Jin Binyang, who was standing nearby, also heard the content on the phone and said to Hu Yicheng: "Let me calm down the emotions of the people first. You go over immediately to appease the people, and I will go over right away."
Hu Yicheng could only nod bitterly, looked at Liu Qingyu and said, "Secretary Liu, I have to leave first."
Liu Qingyu nodded, he also heard the phone call just now, which is why Jin Binyang gave the instruction immediately.
After Hu Yicheng left, Jin Binyang looked at Liu Qingyu and said: "Secretary Liu, I'm afraid you will be shocked this time. This is because our work in Jiangkou City has not been done well."
Liu Qingyu waved his hand: "Comrade Jin Binyang, I have experienced this kind of thing. In fact, the people's demands are really simple. What they ask for is only the most basic right to survive. I think your leaders of the Jiangkou City Party Committee are really
We should communicate well with the masses and listen to their voices."
Jin Binyang could only nod. He understood what Liu Qingyu said, but he still had many concerns in his heart.
At this time, Liu Qingyu continued: "Comrade Jin Binyang, I understand and even support your Jiangkou City officials' desire to develop the economy, but I believe that you must not develop the economy at the expense of the environment.
At the cost, I believe the common people don’t know what the PX project is, but you officials should know it.
I won’t go into details about the risks of the PX project. As you know, ordinary people are also worried. Of course, it is not appropriate to simply regard the PX project as a scourge. After all, PX is one of the very important raw materials in chemical production and is commonly used.
For the production of plastics, polyester fibers and films, the uses of PX items are very broad.
The purpose of Jiangkou City's plan to launch the PX project is clear to everyone, and its prospects are predictable. However, I think your mistake was that you forced the project to be launched instead of truly following the normal procedures.
Your government has not done enough in terms of transparency in decision-making, especially environmental risk assessment. Because our country has a set of procedures for safety assessment to control possible risks. If you had done a good job, there would not be so much trouble.
.And you should never, absolutely should not, lie in this process, causing the people who are already worried about this project to have even more distrust in your credibility. This is your fault, and you cannot blame others.
Secondly, before you launch this project, you should ask relevant practitioners to strengthen some science popularization work. There is a saying that "the truth becomes clearer with more debate." If you really want to launch this project, you must make some real
Reflect the information to the people. As long as you are sincere, open and transparent, the people should be able to understand and accept the real facts.
But you have to hide it, or even operate in secret, which leads to today's difficult situation.
Especially after the PX project explosion incident was reported, how can you let the people believe you?"
Jin Binyang's face was full of bitterness when he heard this.
For him, the reason why he hopes to launch this project is not very selfish, because from the information he has obtained, my country's current demand for PX is far greater than the production volume, requiring a large amount of imports, and it is becoming a relatively large demander in the world. Later, they had no say in the price of PX, so they had to accept exploitation by foreign companies.
As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jiangkou City, he hopes that through the creation of the PX project, on the one hand, he can develop Jiangkou City's supporting industries, increase Jiangkou City's fiscal revenue, and solve the employment problems of ordinary people. At the same time, it can also increase the domestic supply of PX and resolve problems.
It is a despicable act of foreign manufacturers to unilaterally control the right to speak in PX products.
His starting point is good.
At this time, Gao Zilun suddenly said: "Secretary Liu, Secretary Jin, with all due respect, in fact, as for the problems existing in the PX project, I think it is definitely not just a simple pollution problem, but a problem of social integrity, a problem of the boy who cried wolf.
, this cannot be fundamentally solved by relying on science and technology.
Even in terms of science and technology, your experts can definitely determine that PX is a low-pollution project, but for the common people, what they need is tangible and true information. It is a pity that when the common people hear this When I think of so-called expert opinions, the first thing that comes to mind is that they are "brick experts", and the so-called "brick experts" are all used to deceive the common people.
I am not 100% opposed to the launch of the PX project, but I am opposed to the launch of the PX project through black-box operations or even deception, or even forced launch. I think what we need most now is not the construction of PX, but the reconstruction of social morality. And it must be a bottom-up moral reconstruction, not a top-down government-led morality, but a moral code that everyone must abide by from top to bottom. Only if the people truly trust your integrity, then you No matter what kind of project you build, the people will support it. As long as you can give the people real information."
Hearing what Gao Zilun said, Liu Qingyu and Jin Binyang were both stunned. Neither of them expected that Gao Zilun actually said such a point of view.
Jin Binyang was greatly surprised, but Liu Qingyu admired Gao Zilun a little more.
When Liu Qingyu looks at any problem now, he is no longer the Liu Qingyu he used to be when he was just talking about things. He often looks at problems from a very high level.
If the words Gao Zilun said were just those before, then Liu Qingyu would think that Gao Zilun is a very good candidate for the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. But now, when Gao Zilun said that the reason why he was dissatisfied with Jin Binyang and Hu Yicheng was not because of the rebellion. PX project, but because of the way they operate this project, this shows that Gao Zilun is a person with great vision and integrity, and such a person can not only become a good Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, but if he is given a chance, He may be a good mayor or a good municipal party committee secretary, because he not only thinks about the people, but also knows how to do things.
For ordinary people, a leader who can make decisions openly, fairly and transparently and solicit opinions from a wide range of opinions when doing things and making decisions will have less pat on the head and more opinions when making decisions. Some real decisions made with the interests of the people in mind.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyu looked at Jin Binyang and said: "Comrade Jin Binyang, let's go to the factory gate and have a look. Since the people are here to see me, the secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, if I don't go out to see you, If they say it, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to end today.”
Jin Binyang could only nod with a wry smile. He knew that since things had developed to this point, it would be difficult to quell the people's grievances without Liu Qingyu coming forward. And he believed that as the leader of the provincial party committee, Liu Qingyu would definitely not be able to calm down the people's resentment. I hope that if this matter becomes a big deal, I will definitely find a way to calm it down.
So here comes the question. As a provincial party committee leader, Liu Qingyu will naturally look at the PX project from the perspective of a provincial party committee leader. So will the PX project in Jiangkou City go or stay? What will Liu Qingyu do to the people? What kind of promise will he make? Jin Binyang is very curious now.
