Pan Shengjie received a call from Guo Ming, asking him to rush to the office to discuss the matter. He ran over excitedly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Guo Ming's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"County Magistrate Guo, what happened?" Pan Shengjie's smile condensed on his face. He didn't know what happened. When he left Guo Ming's office just now, Guo Ming was still beaming with joy. Why did it suddenly change?
Is it raining?
"Xiao Qin, please tell Director Pan about the situation." Guo Ming pointed to Qin Hai sitting on the sofa and said.
Only then did Pan Shengjie discover Qin Hai and realized that Guo Ming's change of face was directly related to Qin Hai. He forced a smile and said to Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, did County Magistrate Guo tell you about the Japanese friends?
?The two piles of slag from your steel plant have gone somewhere."
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Director Pan, I was wondering about this with County Magistrate Guo just now. You said that the Japanese help us remove garbage, which is a good thing. But China is so big, how can it not even hold tens of thousands of tons of waste?
, why do you have to transport it back to Japan?"
"I asked about this, and they said they would transport it back to the sea for land reclamation," Pan Shengjie said.
Qin Haidao: "This is like taking off your pants and farting. From Pingyuan to Cenzhou Port, there is 200 kilometers of railway transportation. Then you change to a river ship and to Pujiang to change to a sea ship. How much money will you have to spend? Japan itself has a lot of money.
In a country with mountains, digging a mountain to fill the sea is not much better than transporting these waste residues?"
"That's true..." Pan Shengjie scratched his head, "I used to wonder about this, but now the wagons are very nervous. Our county wants to transport agricultural products, but we can't even find wagons on the railway. The Japanese get these wagons.
I don't know how much effort was spent just to transport this waste. It seems a little uneconomical."
"Since you were wondering, why didn't you tell me just now?" Guo Ming scolded angrily. He had to wait until Qin Hai slapped him in the face to realize a simple truth. It was really embarrassing. This was the root of his shame.
, because this Pan Shengjie is too brainless.
Pan Shengjie said with a sad face: "I always feel that the Japanese have a lot of money and they are willing to do this. They always have their reasons and cannot follow what we Chinese think. As for what they think, how can I guess?"
Qin Hai shook his head. He was too lazy to correct Pan Shengjie's thoughts. In that era, countless Chinese people believed that foreigners were rich, and rich people did not need to consider logic when doing things. He said to Pan Shengjie: "
Director Pan, County Magistrate Guo just talked to me and said that he was a little unsure about the motives of the Japanese. I will go back immediately to arrange for testing of those slags to see if the Japanese have any other intentions. Now I need to ask Pan
What the director is assisting is to delay the Japanese as much as possible, at least for three days, before discussing this matter. What does Director Pan think?"
"Three days is no problem." Pan Shengjie promised, "The Provincial Foreign Affairs Office has just notified me, and it is estimated that it will finally be implemented. It will take a few days anyway. But, Xiao Qin, can you tell me what's going on?
What's the secret in these slags?"
"Don't spread these things outside until the matter is confirmed." Guo Ming intervened. Qin Hai just said that he noticed that Japan's motives were impure. This is equivalent to putting gold on his face. He really needs such a piece of gold.
To cover up my shame. If I talk too much to Pan Shengjie, I'm afraid Pan Shengjie will understand that these truths are not something he, Guo Ming, can comprehend. It was Qin Hai who really discovered the problem.
The three people discussed the relevant details again, and then Pan Shengjie hurried back to make phone calls to make arrangements. He had already notified the villages under Chengguan Town to prepare for arranging migrant labor. Now he needs to tell everyone that the matter has been shelved. As for the reason, then
That's not what Qin Hai needs to worry about.
Qin Hai returned to the steel plant and introduced the relevant situation to Li Linguang. Li Linguang suddenly changed his color and cursed a few curse words such as "devil". Then he took two students to the slag mountain behind to dig two large slags.
Packing slag, he rushed to the bus station to buy a ticket back to Hongze. Li Linguang knew more about the value of tantalum and niobium ores than Qin Hai. He heard that the Japanese actually used such methods to defraud precious minerals. Li Linguang
There is no reason not to be impatient.
Qin Hai didn't take this matter too seriously. When he thought about it, no matter what tricks the Japanese played, these slags were under his nose. Could the Japanese dig them away in the middle of the night?
After two days of this, there was no news from either the Japanese or Pan Shengjie. Qin Hai couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the phone and called the county economic committee to ask Pan Shengjie directly about the progress.
"Oh, it's Xiao Qin." Pan Shengjie's tone on the phone was a little careless, presumably because the lingering resentment of being scolded by Guo Ming that day had not yet been eliminated. He said: "Mr. Kawashima is in Beixi now. The Foreign Affairs Office said
, wait until he has finished handling the matter in Beixi, and then come down to the county.
Xiao Qin, I told you what happened last time. Are you a little suspicious? Mr. Kawashima went to Beixi Steel Plant to discuss the slag matter. Beixi Steel Plant had no objection and even sent a large forklift to help with the shipment.
For our small Pingyuan County to make irresponsible remarks about the motives of our Japanese friends, doesn't it seem too petty?"
"What, Kawadao went to the Beixi Steel Plant?" Qin Hai was shocked. He suddenly remembered that in addition to the steel plant in Pingyuan, Beixi City also had a steel plant, and its scale was larger than that of Pingyuan Steel.
The factory is much larger. In addition, there are seven or eight steel plants in the districts and counties under Beixi City. Some are still barely operating, and some, like Pingyuan Steel Plant, have been shut down for many years. However, all these steel plants have two points.
Common features: first, everyone uses local ores from Beixi; second, they all leave behind a large amount of slag.
The little devil is indeed very meticulous in his work.
Obviously, after Kunio Kishida discovered the waste residue from the Heiyuen Steel Plant, he immediately drew inferences, associated it with other steel plants, and arranged for personnel to conduct a secret investigation. This time Ichiro Kawashima came to Beixi, and the picture was not from the Heiyuen Iron and Steel Plant.
This bit of waste is aimed at the entire Beixi.
Putting down Pan Shengjie's phone number, Qin Hai went straight to the post and telecommunications office, filled out the form and asked to be connected to Chai Peide of the Beixi Municipal Government. When he called, the person who answered the phone was neither Chai Peide nor Xu Yang, but a confused and staring young man.
After listening to Qin Hai's request, he replied: "Mayor Chai went out for a meeting. I don't know when he will come back..."
"Where did he go for the meeting?" Qin Hai asked.
"Who knows, it seems to be the capital, or... it's the Pujiang River." The young man said.
In the era before mobile phone pagers, finding someone who was on a business trip was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Qin Hai patted his head and filled out two more call slips. This time he called Hongze.
After talking on the phone for a full 40 minutes, Qin Hai finally came out of the phone room. The female salesperson in charge of business at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau cast an extremely complicated look at him: 9 cents a minute for a long-distance call, a dozen
It’s just 40 minutes. What kind of tycoon is this? I don’t know if this young man has a partner. If not, it would be great... However, the age gap seems too big to marry him. Why let my daughter marry him?
,Uh, it seems that the age gap is too big...
Qin Hai never imagined that making a phone call could trigger so many erotic scenes. He paid the fee at the counter, then drove back to Qingfeng Factory and went straight to Ning Zhongying's office.
"Director Ning, besides Mayor Chai, do you have any other connections in Beixi City?" Qin Hai asked Ning Zhongying directly.
"Of course." Ning Zhongying said proudly, "I'm not bragging to you, in the entire Beixi area, I don't need to carry a penny with me, and I won't starve to death in any county I go to."
"Is there anyone you can talk to Beixi Steel Plant?" Qin Hai asked again.
"Yes, Old Liu from the Municipal Economic Commission has a relationship with me, and he is also a soldier of Mayor Chai. It will definitely be useful if he goes to Beixi Steel Plant to speak." Ning Zhongying said.
"Well, could you please introduce it to me? I have to go to Beixi now." Qin Hai said.
Ning Zhongying said: "You've been talking for a long time, but you haven't told me what it is. Why, your business has gone to Beixi Steel Plant?"
"It's not about business, it's about whether our country's mineral resources will be stolen by little devils," Qin Hai said.
Then, he told Ning Zhongying about Kishida Kunio, Kawashima Ichiro and the waste slag. The more Ning Zhongying listened, the uglier his face became, and finally his face turned a little angry.
"Damn little Japan, I just don't think that Kishida Kunio is a good guy! You people have to talk about being friendly, friendly!" Ning Zhongying scolded.
Qin Haidao: "Director Ning, that's not what you said. We are one yard after another. Slag is slag, and Kishida Kunio is Kishida Kunio. Think about it, our rotary tillage blades have to be close to Kishida Kunio."
Will you help us sell it?"
"That's true." Ning Zhongying suddenly returned to reality. In the final analysis, the waste residue from the Beixi Steel Plant has nothing to do with him. China is such a big country, and there are many treasures that have been defrauded. The matter of the Beixi Steel Plant has nothing to do with it.
It cannot bring harm to the country and the people. In contrast, maintaining a harmonious relationship with Kishida Kunio is crucial for Qingfeng Factory. This year Qingfeng Factory still hopes to earn one or two million from this business.
.
"You said that the Japanese want the slag because it contains tantalum and niobium ore. Do you have evidence?" Ning Zhongying asked. He is also a cautious person. When encountering such a thing, the first thing to consider is to have evidence, so that he can
Make yourself invincible.
Qin Haidao: "I just had a phone call with Professor Li. They are still doing analysis and the results will be available soon. The top priority now is to let Beixi Steel Plant suspend cooperation with Japan until the analysis results come out.
Now, everything will be clear. In fact, even if the Japanese don’t have any bad intentions, there’s no harm in dragging out the waste removal for a day or two, right?”
"Well, let's do this. Let's go to Beixi to find Lao Liu now. We can't explain such things on the phone, so it's better to talk about them in person." Ning Zhongying said. (To be continued...)
