Pan Shengjie, director of the County Economic Commission, stumbled into the office of County Magistrate Guo Ming, his face full of joy, as if he had picked up gold ingots along the way.
"Old Pan, what good news makes you so happy?" Guo Ming looked at Pan Shengjie happily and asked.
"County Magistrate Guo, do you remember the Japanese named Kunio Kishida?" Pan Shengjie asked.
Guo Ming nodded: "How could I not remember? Is he here again?"
"No, he's not here. He's a Japanese named Ichiro Kawashima. He's a... by the way, the vice president of the Greater East Asia Shared Green Foundation. He's coming to our Pingyuan."
Pan Shengjie said.
"Greater East Asia Shared Green Foundation... This company produces paint?" Monk Guo Mingzhang was scratching his head. Of course, a foreign guest can be regarded as a happy event, but a representative of a paint company coming to Pingyuan is not worthy of Pan Shengjie.
I'm so excited. Besides, there aren't many buildings in Heiyuan that need green paint. Why is Ichiro doing this in Heiyuan?
"Haha, County Magistrate Guo didn't understand it either, did he? When I first heard the news, I struggled for a long time and couldn't figure it out. The Provincial Foreign Affairs Office explained it to me for a long time before I figured it out." Pan Shengjie said proudly.
Said, although he is Guo Ming's subordinate, the level difference between the two is not that big, and they can be joked about. The news he got is really good, so he can't help but tell it and let Guo Ming share it.
a moment of his joy.
It turns out that the so-called Greater East Asia Shared Green Foundation is not a paint company, but a Japanese environmental protection charity organization whose purpose is to help Asian countries restore ecology and protect the environment. Kawashima Ichiro came to Anhe this time. The reason was that he heard about the North
There are some old steel plants in Xi City that have accumulated a lot of iron-making waste residue, which has not been effectively processed for many years.
It is said that if this kind of waste residue is exposed outdoors for a long time, it will affect the local air quality. It will also pollute the groundwater. In short, it will cause an extremely serious ecological disaster. As Japanese friends who are willing to help others, for the health of the Chinese people, they are willing to help Beijing
The local government of Xi City removed these slags and gave the people of Beixi a clean living environment.
"What he's talking about are the two slag mountains at Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant?" Guo Ming realized after hearing Pan Shengjie's explanation. The two slag mountains were indeed somewhat obstructive to the view, and the county had planned to get rid of them. But.
I still couldn't find a way to deal with it, so I kept putting it off for more than ten years. I didn't expect that Pingyuan County itself was unknown, but the two slag mountains had alarmed Japanese friends.
"I have to thank Kishida Kunio for this. The Japanese are so kind." Pan Shengjie said with emotion, "I heard that when Kishida Kunio visited the steel plant at Qin Hai's invitation, he discovered those two
A mountain of slag. After returning to China, he has been thinking about this
After many efforts, I finally contacted Mr. Kawashima. The green foundation where Mr. Kawashima works is dedicated to this kind of public welfare undertaking. Their money is donated by Japanese entrepreneurs. It is specially used to help people like
A developing country like ours.”
"Then how do they plan to remove this waste?" Guo Ming asked.
"I heard that they plan to pay their own money to hire migrant workers in our Pingyuan area to dig out the waste residue, load it on train wagons, transport it to Cenzhou for loading, and then transport it back to Japan," Pan Shengjie said.
Guo Ming was surprised and said: "Didn't they say that these waste residues are poisonous? Why do they have to transport them back to Japan?"
Pan Shengjie smiled and said: "Don't you know County Magistrate Guo? I didn't understand it at first, but I understood it as soon as they explained it. Think about it, Japan is an island, and it is said that the area is only as big as our Beixi area.
.If they want to develop their economy, they must rely on land reclamation. So they transport these waste residues back to be used for reclamation. Haha, this thing is just waste to us, but when it goes to other people, it can be turned into treasure.
It’s impossible to say that the Japanese are not admirable for their abilities.”
"So, they help us clean up the garbage, not only do we not have to pay, but we can also make some money, is that right?" Guo Ming asked.
Pan Shengjie said: "Yes, that's exactly the case. I heard that the Japanese hire migrant workers to work and pay them very high wages, which are higher than the wages of our government cadres."
"This is a great thing!" Guo Ming thought about it, "Lao Pan, go implement it immediately and contact the village cadres in the villages below Chengguan Town to ask them to mobilize and organize the most conscious farmers to work as migrant workers.
Also, we have to tell the steel factory about this matter. It’s not Qin’s job now.
Has Hai rented the site of the steel plant? Tell him in advance and ask him to cooperate. If this matter can be done, Qin Hai has made another contribution to our county. If he hadn't brought Kishida Kunio to the steel plant
If we go to visit, how will our Japanese friends know that we have this problem?"
Pan Shengjie happily ran to make arrangements. Guo Ming asked his secretary to call the steel factory and inform Qin Hai to come to the county government immediately and inform him of something important.
Qin Hai was studying smelting technology with Li Linguang and others at the steel plant. When he received the call, he didn't think much about it. He changed into clean clothes and drove to the county government. After the previous events, Qin Hai and
We already know the leaders of the county, and we have been to Guo Ming's office four or five times, so we are familiar with them.
"Our great hero is here, please take a seat, please take a seat." Guo Ming was in a very good mood and started a lighthearted joke with Qin Hai.
"County Magistrate Guo is teasing me again. How can I be a hero? I've only caused trouble for the county." Qin Hai said modestly with a smile.
"Well, it is true that we have caused a lot of trouble, but we also have merit. You don't know it yet, but you have unknowingly helped our Pingyuan County to make another great contribution." Guo Ming said.
Qin Hai scratched his head and couldn't think of any good things he had done these days. What happened at the Qujiang Cement Plant couldn't be considered "unknowingly" at least, right? As for other aspects, it seems that it can be called "great achievements".
Can't find it.
"County Magistrate Guo, I'm not smart enough. If you have any questions, just tell me directly and don't make me guess." Qin Hai said.
Guo Ming laughed and told Qin Hai exactly what Pan Shengjie had just told him. Qin Hai was a little unable to react at first, but when he heard that the Japanese planned to transport the waste back to the sea for reclamation,
At that moment, he burst out laughing.
"County Magistrate Guo, you don't really believe that pie will fall from the sky, do you?" Qin Hai asked casually. After traveling through time for so long, he still couldn't get his position right, especially at some critical moments.
If you are not careful, you will not regard the county magistrate and mayor as cadres.
Guo Ming was a little embarrassed by Qin Hai's words. He was originally in high spirits, but Qin Hai's words were like a drop of cold water in the face, which made him very angry.
"Xiao Qin, what do you mean by this?" Guo Ming asked with a dark face.
Qin Hai said angrily: "Kishida, this old devil, is really good at taking advantage of loopholes. If I wasn't paying attention, I must have let him take away the slag samples from the steel plant. If I had known this, I shouldn't have taken him to see the slag mountain.
, or you should let him clean it after reading it
When he left home, he wouldn't let him take away even a speck of dust. County Magistrate Guo, I dare to bet you that this bullshit Green Foundation is probably a subsidiary company of Fukuoka Corporation. They are here to take our resources for free. Why don't we still
I am grateful to them here."
"Resources?" Guo Ming was startled, and he began to realize that things were not simple.
Anyone who can reach the level of a county magistrate is not a fool. If Guo Ming was a little confused at first, it was only because the media constantly advocated Sino-Japanese friendship and the kindness and enthusiasm of the Japanese, which made him confused.
Some preconceived illusions. After Qin Hai broke through this, Guo Ming naturally returned to his normal rationality. Yes, they are courteous for nothing, and they are either traitors or thieves. Do the Japanese really have such good intentions?
"Xiao Qin, please explain the matter clearly. What the Japanese want is our waste, how can it be resources?" Guo Ming asked Qin Hai seriously.
Qin Haidao: "County Chief Guo, there is a technical problem here. In the past, our Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant only knew how to smelt iron. We found iron ore from the mountains and started smelting it. As a result, we smelted a pile of scrap iron of poor quality, leaving behind a pile of scrap iron.
Heaping rubbish. Little do we know, we
The iron ores in the entire Beixi City are poor ores in terms of iron content. But these iron ores are actually tantalum-niobium iron ore, in which the most valuable elements are not iron, but tantalum and niobium. On the market
, the price of one kilogram of tantalum is equivalent to dozens of tons of iron.”
"You mean, these waste residues contain the tantalum you mentioned and the niobium?" Guo Ming asked.
Qin Haidao: "I'm not 100% sure about this now. From the distribution of mineral deposits, our Beixi City happens to be in an area rich in tantalum and niobium ores. Most of the iron ores should be associated tantalum and niobium ores. Before
Because I was too busy for a while, I never took the time to analyze the composition of these slags. However, I once talked about this matter with Professor Li Linguang, and he also believed that these slags should be tantalum-niobium slags.
The most powerful evidence is this little devil named Kawashima Ichiro. If there were no tricks involved, he would not be able to come here in such a hurry to offer his love."
"But..." Guo Ming hesitated. If these slags are really rich in tantalum and niobium as Qin Hai said, then the Japanese have very sinister intentions. Pingyuan County should resolutely refuse the Japanese to transport the slag. But
On the other hand, if Qin Hai's guess is wrong and Pingyuan County accuses the Japanese of goodwill without reason, then the impact will be very bad. When the higher authorities investigate, he will not be able to explain it at all.
Qin Hai saw Guo Ming's thoughts and said: "County Magistrate Guo, you don't have to be embarrassed. I will go back now and ask Professor Li to bring some samples back to the School of Engineering for testing. If the test results confirm my guess,
Then we have reasonable reasons to reject the Japanese request. What we need now is to delay for a few days. I think County Magistrate Guo has this method, right?" (To be continued...)
