The two looked at each other. Miao Peilong's eyes almost got angry when he looked at Qiao Liang, while Qiao Liang looked much calmer.
"Secretary Miao, how much investment is considered a big project?" Qiao Liang suddenly smiled.
"Of course it has to be hundreds of millions." Miao Peilong said coldly.
"Okay, in my opinion, Secretary Miao can have a competition with me. Let's set a time, say half a year, or three months, to see who can get big investment first, or who can get more How about investment?" Qiao Liang smiled.
"Who is competing with you and playing children's games? I think you are full of food!" Miao Peilong said angrily.
"Children's games? After eating enough? What does Secretary Miao mean by this? Isn't this a great thing that is conducive to the development of Songbei? As the secretary and county magistrate of Songbei, shouldn't the two of us work for Songbei? Are you trying your best to develop? Is Secretary Miao willing to just be a leader who only wants to enjoy comfort and enjoyment?" Qiao Liang asked rhetorically.
"Qiao Liang, please stop irritating me with your words." Miao Peilong said angrily.
"Secretary Miao misunderstood. I'm not trying to provoke you, but I think that as the secretary and county magistrate, we should take the lead in setting an example for other cadres and do our best for the development of the county, right?" Qiao Liang said.
Miao Peilong was at a loss for words. He wanted to refute, but he was afraid that Qiao Liang would take the blame. Moreover, if he refused, Qiao Liang would inevitably think that he was showing cowardice. This was absolutely unacceptable to Miao Peilong, especially He was the first in command and Qiao Liang was the second in command. How could he let Qiao Liang look down on him?
His expression changed, and Miao Peilong gritted his teeth: "Let's compete, who is afraid of whom?"
"Okay, let's compare it." Qiao Liang chuckled, "This is a great thing that is beneficial to the development of Songbei. Maybe it will become a good story if word spreads about it."
Miao Peilong snorted coldly and ignored Qiao Liang's words. He was already thinking about where to get one or two big investments.
"Secretary Miao, since we are competing, we have to agree on a time, right? Secretary Miao, do you think three months or half a year is better?" Qiao Liang asked again.
"About half a year." Miao Peilong thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, then it will be for half a year." Qiao Liang nodded.
Miao Peilong nodded subconsciously. Suddenly, Miao Peilong didn't know what he thought of and said quickly: "Qiao Liang, you are not allowed to let Li Youwei help you, otherwise you will be considered cheating."
Miao Peilong was thinking of Li Youwei as the president of Chint Group. If Qiao Liang went directly to Li Youwei and asked Chint Group to invest in Songbei, he would be a far cry from him.
Qiao Liang didn't expect that Miao Peilong would think of this. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I won't go to him for help."
The two decided to compete for investment. Qiao Liang changed the topic and said: "Secretary Miao, let's get back to the topic. Regarding the plastic factory, I still insist on my opinion. The plastic factory must be shut down for rectification now, otherwise we will not be able to I will give the explanation to the inspection team."
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he turned around and left Miao Peilong's office.
Behind the scenes, Miao Peilong was so angry that he jumped up and down. When Qiao Liang walked to the stairs, he could faintly hear Miao Peilong banging the table.
Qiao Liang ignored Miao Peilong's anger. Although Miao Peilong was the leader, Qiao Liang would also insist on what he thought was right.
After returning to the office, Qiao Liang thought for a moment and called Zhao Jie over.
"County Magistrate Qiao, what did Secretary Miao say?" Zhao Jiejie asked cautiously as soon as he entered the door.
"Don't worry about him, we will act in accordance with the principles." Qiao Liang waved his hand and said, "Immediately organize law enforcement officers to go to Sanbei Town. The plastic factory must be shut down today."
"County Magistrate Qiao, what if the plastic factory doesn't cooperate and causes a conflict?" Zhao Jiejie asked worriedly.
"If there really is a conflict, whoever takes the lead will be treated as obstruction of official business. I don't believe that we can't fix a factory." Qiao Liang said with a cold look in his eyes, "I'll say hello to Deputy County Magistrate Sun later. Let the police station send people to cooperate."
Zhao Jiejie nodded slightly when he heard this. The deputy county magistrate Sun in Qiao Liang's mouth refers to Sun Dongchuan, who is the deputy county magistrate and county bureau chief. Now that Qiao Liang wants to dispatch people from the police station, he is obviously serious about it.
However, Zhao Jiejie obviously still had some concerns about this matter. He hesitated and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, do you want to say hello to Secretary Miao about this matter?"
"No, I have my own opinion." Qiao Liang shook his head and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, you go make arrangements first, and I will go with you to the town later."
"County Magistrate Qiao wants to go there in person?" Zhao Jiejie said in surprise.
"Well, that's right." Qiao Liang nodded.
After letting Zhao Jiejie leave first, Qiao Liang quickly called Sun Dongchuan and asked the county bureau to cooperate with the operation, and at the same time sent a notice to the town.
Half an hour later, law enforcement officers from the County Environmental Protection Bureau, including police officers from the County Bureau, had gathered in the county compound, and Qiao Liang personally led the team to the plastic factory.
Upstairs in the office building, Miao Peilong was standing at the window, looking at the battle that Qiao Liang had caused. Miao Peilong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't stop it openly. He was named and criticized by the inspection team. If he If you try to stop it, you will be given a leg up.
Looking downstairs with a gloomy look, Miao Peilong thought for a moment, called his secretary in, and ordered: "Get the car ready, I want to go to the city."
Qiao Liang and Zhao Jiejie took people to the plastic factory, and people from the town also rushed over, including the town government and the town police station. At first glance, it seemed that the battle Qiao Liang had created this time was indeed quite big. .
The owner of the plastic factory, Cai Jinfa, heard the commotion and came out. When he saw the situation outside, Cai Jinfa's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that even people from the police station came this time.
"County Magistrate Qiao, what do you mean?" Cai Jinfa walked up to Qiao Liang.
"What do you mean you still ask?" Qiao Liang glanced at Cai Jinjin coldly, "You are so brave. Your factory already posted a seal last night, but today you dare to tear it up without permission. You are trying to openly resist law enforcement. ?”
"County Magistrate Qiao, I didn't tear the seal, so don't slander me," Cai Jinfa argued.
"Even if it wasn't you who tore it, it still has something to do with you. Don't tell me that it was the workers who tore it themselves." Qiao Liang sneered, "Even if it was the workers who tore it, without your permission as the boss, the workers would have the guts to do this. What kind of thing?"
Cai Jinfa was at a loss for words. This matter was indeed his order. He was also sure that the county would not do anything to him before he dared to do this. However, Qiao Liang's actions were beyond his expectation. Is the other party really planning to go to war today? ?
Qiao Liang ignored Cai Jinfa and turned to Zhao Jiejie and said: "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, let people seal the factory. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be directly detained for obstructing official duties."
"Okay." Zhao Jiejie nodded.
"County Magistrate Qiao, are you sure you want to do this?" Cai Jinjin asked anxiously.
"It's not that I want to do this, but that your factory discharges pollution illegally and damages the environment. Why, does Mr. Cai think I am targeting you?" Qiao Liang looked at the other party indifferently.
Cai Jinfa's expression was angry. He felt the contempt for him in Qiao Liang's words, but he did not dare to get angry. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. Although he has made a big business, Qiao Liang is the county magistrate after all. He also didn't want to go against Qiao Liang directly.
Cai Jinfa walked aside to make a phone call. At this time, he wanted to ask Miao Peilong for help. The other party was his support. Cai Jinfa could only place his hope on Miao Peilong.
Guessing that Cai Jinfa might have called Miao Peilong, Qiao Liang did not stop him and walked towards the factory.
Because it was already evening when he came here last night, and he was surrounded by factory security guards as soon as he arrived, Qiao Liang did not have time to see clearly the situation around the factory.
Now that this meeting is here, Qiao Liang plans to take a look around.
There is a small river flowing next to the factory, and there are acres of farmland beside the river. At a glance, the fields along the river are all empty land without any crops.
When he walked to the river and saw that the water was black and smelly, Qiao Liang frowned tightly.
"There is a factory drainage pipe there, and the factory's wastewater is discharged directly into the river from there." Zhao Jiejie walked up behind Qiao Liang at some point.
Qiao Liang looked up and saw that in the direction Zhao Jiejie was pointing, there was indeed a very thick water pipe. Perhaps because the factory was still in production just now, the drainage pipe would still have sewage flowing out, directly into the river. inside.
"How long has this problem existed?" Qiao Liang asked in a deep voice.
"It should have existed since the day the factory started production." Zhao Jiejie smiled bitterly.
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment and then asked: "The inspection team said that many villagers in the surrounding areas have contracted cancer due to factory pollution. Is this true?"
"That's right." Zhao Jiejie answered this question with some shamelessness.
"What do you mean?" Qiao Liang asked.
"The rate of cancer in surrounding villagers is indeed higher. It is obviously impossible to say that this has nothing to do with the factory. However, a person's cancer is the result of many reasons. Maybe it cannot be said to be entirely the factory's problem." Zhao Excellent said helplessly.
"In the end, it still matters. Otherwise, wouldn't the surrounding villagers be more likely to get cancer for no reason?" Qiao Liang's face was expressionless, and his words were a little rude. He glanced at Zhao Jiejie, and Qiao Liang sighed, "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao , We have failed in our duty. If the cancer in the surrounding villagers is caused by factory pollution, then our government also has a share of responsibility."
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Zhao Jiejie was speechless. If he was responsible for this matter, he really couldn't shirk it. However, Zhao Jiejie was also full of difficulties. He was a deputy county magistrate, but there were some things he wanted to do. If he can't control it, who can he complain to?
Qiao Liang just said it in passing and had no intention of criticizing Zhao Jiejie. Judging from Miao Peilong's attitude of protecting the plastic factory, he knew that this matter was not something that Zhao Jiejie could take care of if he wanted to.
Looking at the situation around the plastic factory, Qiao Liang said with a heavy heart: "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, you know, before I came here, I wanted to give an explanation to the inspection team, and the plastic factory must be shut down for rectification, but this After seeing the situation here, I feel very sad. What I think now is that we not only need to give an explanation to the inspection team, but also to the surrounding people. This is a responsibility that we must shoulder. We are the common people. An official, not a capitalist official..."
