Blue Sky Organization is a global environmental public welfare organization. For more than 30 years since its establishment, it has launched environmental campaigns on various themes around the world, including intercepting whaling ships in the Pacific, opposing the construction of nuclear power plants in France, and boycotting potash fertilizer plants in Canada.
, every campaign to eradicate genetically modified experimental fields in the Philippines has been vigorous and vigorous, making governments and related companies become distraught.
As one of the largest chemical companies in the world, the Warren Group was once the target of a major boycott by the Blue Sky Organization. Ten years ago, the Blue Sky Organization launched a large-scale boycott campaign specifically targeting the Warren Group. At the same time
A dozen chemical companies of the Warren Group around the world were besieged simultaneously. The demonstrators ignored the security guards and rushed into the central control room of the chemical plant in an attempt to forcefully close the switch, which almost caused a serious accident.
The Warren Group urgently launched a public relations mechanism and sent commissioners to secretly negotiate with the Blue Sky Organization. It was finally agreed that the Warren Group would "donate" an amount equivalent to US$15 million to the so-called environmental protection charity fund affiliated to the Blue Sky Organization every year in exchange for blue sky.
The Sky Organization provided "environmental supervision" services to the Warren Group, which calmed the situation and allowed factories everywhere to resume production.
It was during that conflict that Bernice and Gusev met, and it can be considered that there was no deal without a fight. Since then, Bernice has participated in several environmental forums organized by the Blue Sky Organization as a technical expert.
At the meeting, introducing the "pleasant experience" of cooperating with the Blue Sky Organization to one's colleagues is actually equivalent to telling other companies to give up resistance and submit to the Blue Sky Organization.
Bernice knew very well what the Blue Sky Organization was about. On this earth, there are indeed many true public welfare organizations that aim to save lives and care for the wounded and caring for society, but more of them are actually making money in the name of public welfare.
Fake public welfare organizations that are actually money laundering. People who have entered the post-industrial era can easily develop a Virgin mentality and need someone to help them give away their excess love. Therefore, various public welfare organizations have appeared like crucian carp across the river.
The blue sky is just one of the representatives.
As someone who has been deeply affected by it, Bernice is well aware of the destructive power of Blue Sky. Faced with the aggressive competitive pressure from Chinese companies, Bernice thought of this former enemy and came up with the idea of diverting the disaster eastward.
Gusev is the secretary-general of a branch of Blue Sky. He has more than a dozen full-time staff and has been active in Western Europe. In recent years, due to the increasing number of public welfare activities launched by various public welfare organizations,
Governments that used to have an appeasement policy towards the activities of public welfare organizations were troubled and began to show red cards to these organizations. Gusev organized several demonstrations against the construction of high-speed railways, but not only did they not achieve the expected results,
Several staff members were also arrested by the local police for disturbing public order and assaulting police officers. Gusev spent a lot of effort to rescue them.
Europe is no longer a place to be messed with, and Gusev is increasingly aware of this. He begins to turn his attention to other parts of the world, including the booming China. Coincidentally, just when he is planning to smoke
When it was time to research China, a call from Bernice came to his desk.
"Mr. Bernice, why did you start caring about environmental issues?" Gusev asked calmly.
"We at Warren Group have always been very concerned about environmental protection." Bernice responded, "After I went to work in China, I found that the Chinese people's awareness of environmental protection was still in the era of the industrial revolution. There is an urgent need for European solutions here.
Don’t you have such interest in environmental organizations coming to do some work for them?”
"Of course we are interested." Gusev answered perfunctorily, while the mouse in his hand was moving rapidly. He was looking for information about the rx project. After reading several reports, his face showed
With a knowing smile, he understood why Bernice called him.
The rapid development of China's economy has put forward huge demand for various chemical products. Rx is an important chemical raw material, and the demand in China has grown extremely rapidly in recent years. China's own rx production is seriously insufficient and needs to be imported in large quantities from abroad.
Countries such as Japan, South Korea, Germany and Singapore are major producers of rx. Among them, the Warren Group exports up to 2 million tons of rx to China every year, worth billions of dollars.
China is a country that pursues self-sufficiency very much. Over the years, it has been working hard to increase the production capacity of rx to meet its own needs. Once China's own rx devices are put into mass production, it will inevitably reduce its dependence on imported rx raw materials and greatly reduce rx.
If the price rises, the interests of many foreign manufacturers, including the Warren Group, will be harmed.
Under such circumstances, isn’t the purpose of Bernice’s invitation to Blue Sky Organization to carry out activities in China clear?
Understanding this, Gusev knew how to communicate with Bernice. He hummed a few words and then said: "Mr. Bernice, although we are very interested in going to China, we don't know much about the situation in China."
, it takes a lot of energy to study this country. Also, China is a distant place after all, and our branch’s funds..."
"I think this problem can be easily solved. If the Blue Sky Organization intends to come to China to carry out activities, the Chinese representative office of the Warren Group is willing to provide some conveniences." Bernice answered without hesitation. He knew that these
Public welfare organizations tend to ignore rabbits and don't let go of hawks. His eloquence alone cannot tempt Gusev, so before calling Gusev, he was mentally prepared to pay part of the money for Gusev.
.
"If so, that would be great. We will thank the Warren Group for their enthusiastic sponsorship on behalf of the Chinese." Gusev laughed and unceremoniously assumed the role of the Chinese people's savior.
A few days later, two big-nosed Europeans were welcomed into the office of Guo Shuqing, the new secretary of Yiping City, Dongyuan Province. Accompanying them was Xu Yang, deputy director of the Yiping City Science and Technology Bureau.
Xu Yang was sent back to the local area by a naval base because he had serious problems with his life style. The base remembered that Xu Yang had made some contributions, so they did not want to make things right and did not record Xu Yang's mistakes.
In the meantime, Xu Yang was sent back to his hometown of Yiping City for resettlement according to the ordinary job transfer procedures.
Xu Yang graduated from a prestigious school and was promoted to a full-time position in the army. Therefore, after transferring to the local area, he was assigned to be a middle-level cadre in the Science and Technology Bureau. Due to his outstanding talents, there are also some good jobs in Yiping City.
Background: He was quickly promoted to deputy director of the Science and Technology Bureau, and there were rumors that the newly appointed Municipal Party Committee Secretary Guo Shuqing admired him very much and intended to focus on cultivating him. A unit like the Science and Technology Bureau, which is neither good nor bad, would probably not be able to accommodate him.
He is a shining new star.
"Secretary Guo, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Gusev, the Secretary-General of the Post-Industrial Urban Civilization Branch of the International Blue Sky Organization, and this is Mr. Akin, the Executive Director of the Post-Industrial Urban Civilization Branch. They are here specially
They came to China from Europe to promote the concept of post-industrial civilized cities." Xu Yang pointed at the two Europeans and introduced to Guo Shuqing.
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Gusev and Mr. Ekin are very welcome. You are welcome to teach the Chinese people the concept of European post-industrial civilization." With a kind smile on his face, Guo Shuqing shook hands with Gusev and Ekin respectively.
They sat down on the couch, while they sat on the single sofa on one side. This was a courtesy that only VIPs could enjoy.
"Blue Sky Organization is one of the most famous environmental protection public welfare organizations in the world. It has carried out a large number of environmental protection public welfare activities around the world and is very popular among people from all over the world. This time Mr. Gusev and Mr. Akin came to China.
It is the first time for the Blue Sky Organization to carry out activities in China. Our Yiping City is very honored to be the first stop of their trip to China." Xu Yang said to Guo Shuqing with a somewhat proud tone.
"Oh, really?" Guo Shuqing was really interested, "How can our small Yiping City be so attractive?"
"Let Mr. Gusev answer this question himself."
As Xu Yang spoke, he muttered a few words in English to Gusev. Gusev nodded and began to speak, with Xu Yang translating for him.
"Mr. Guo, our post-industrial urban civilization branch is a branch of the Blue Sky Organization that specializes in urban civilization. We have our own interpretation of urban civilization. Our concepts are contrary to today's popular concepts. We can easily
We can confidently say that our concepts are at least 50 years ahead of this era." Gusev opened his mouth with a condescending tone that made both Guo Shuqing and Xu Yang feel dizzy.
"Modern cities in the West all emerged with industrial civilization, such as Birmingham in the United Kingdom and Detroit in the United States. The characteristics of these cities were born because of industry, and now they die because of industry. The development of industry can bring about changes in cities.
It brought a large population and huge wealth, but also deprived humans of their connection with nature, alienating humans into mechanical slaves.
With the advent of the post-industrial era, cities will face a choice, that is, let industry squeeze humans out of the city, or humans will squeeze industry out of the city. Unfortunately, cities such as Birmingham and Detroit have made the wrong choice
, so it is now facing a severe depression.
For the future of mankind, our post-industrial urban civilization branch has launched a campaign to save cities around the world, hoping to help cities in various countries break free from the clutches of industrialization and return cities to their original functions. This time we choose China’s
As the first stop of the visit, Ping City hopes to set up a pilot project with global demonstration significance in a rising industrial city like Yiping."
Gusev continued to talk, while Guo Shuqing sat aside and listened, with a glimmer of light gradually shining in his eyes. (~^~)
