"That's for sure, Mr. Liu, don't worry about this?" Seeing that Liu Yongzhuo's expression slowed down, Yue Huanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.

"Where is this in front of me?" After the two girls' affairs, Liu Yongzhuo changed the subject and pointed out the open space outside the window and asked...

"Oh, this is the development zone of Tiandong County. Do you see those houses there? It was a private enterprise just recruited by the Tiandong County Investment and Merchants Bureau last month. It is a chemical factory that produces laundry detergent. It invests 8 million yuan in Huayuan and all the products are exported."

"This is the largest company we have recruited so far in Baise area! No, right? I am, besides you Huayang Heavy Industry." From that company, the dark clouds on Yue Huanshan's face scattered, and he looked very happy.

"Can we go and have a look?" Liu Yongzhuo asked curiously.

"Of course." Yue Huanshan nodded and led the way in front. "There is such an item on the schedule we arranged. You can go and visit it and communicate with their investors. Look, there are many people gathered on the construction site there. Did they specially arrange to welcome you? Really, don't you have to get too many people with them? No, those people! Could it be that something happened to those people?"

As the convoy gradually approached the chemical factory under construction there, everyone could see the atmosphere at the scene being abnormal.

People gathered there seemed to be shouting something, and more than a dozen policemen in dark black uniforms were running around. Next to the crowd, two police cars were parked, and the police lights on the roof were constantly turning, flashing with shocking white lights.

"Mayor Yue, something happened on the construction site. Are we still here?" A staff member ran to the car where Liu Yongzhuo and Yue Huanshan were sitting and reported to Yue Huanshan.

"Mr. Liu, look?" Yue Huanshan did not dare to be alone, so he turned his head and asked Liu Yongzhuo for advice.

Liu Yongzhuo turned his head and asked the staff member: "What happened?"

The staff looked at Yue Huanshan, and Yue Huanshan immediately stated: "It's okay. Just be honest with me if you have any matter. We have nothing to hide from Mr. Liu."

The staff nodded and then said to Liu Yongzhuo: "Mr. Liu, that's right. This morning, an unidentified woman suddenly ran to the construction site of Tiandong Chemical Factory and asked to stop the construction. The chemical factory could not be built here. The construction staff ignored her, so she blocked the roads to the construction site and asked the construction party to find the county leaders."

"What then?" Yue Huanshan asked with a frown.

"Then, the fight started." The staff had to tell the truth.

"Are you fighting?" Liu Yongzhuo widened his eyes. "Aren't you just a woman? Can she fight with so many men in the construction team?"

"Uh, that's right, everyone actually dared not hit her, for fear of something wrong. However, because she stopped the construction, some people around her who were popular would smash her with dirt, and she might have suffered a little bit of injuries. Then, the police came. Look. Didn't the police bring her out?"

While talking, two female policemen squeezed out of the crowd with a woman of about 25 or 26 years old, and there were several male policemen surrounding them maintaining order.

Behind them, there were a group of people who looked like people cursing, and some people were holding blocks of soil in their hands. It was like that, if the police were not present, those blocks of soil would hit the woman.

Liu Yongzhuo and Yue Huanshan had already got out of the car. Seeing this scene, Liu Yongzhuo frowned slightly. Yue Huanshan saw Liu Yongzhuo's expression. Knowing that he was dissatisfied, he hurriedly ran to the police and shouted loudly: "Which branch are you from? Why are you savagely enforcing the law?"

A leading policeman recognized Yue Huanshan and quickly stood up to salute, explaining: "Mayor Yue, we are not savagely enforcing the law, we are rescuing Ms. Zhao. Many people are smashing her with dirt. If we don't arrive in time, some danger may even occur."

At this time, Liu Yongzhuo also walked over. In order to leave a good impression in front of Liu Yongzhuo, Yue Huanshan said to the two female policewomen who were holding Ms. Zhao: "Let go of her, don't hold her."

"Mayor Yue, you can't let it go. Once you let it go, she ran back." A policewoman complained.

"Ms., I am Yue Huanshan, the mayor of Baise City. If you have any requirements, please follow me and don't take extreme measures. Now I ask the police to let you go for the time being. Can you keep your restraint and stop doing inappropriate things?" Yue Huanshan said to the lady with a kind face.

In normal times, he may not interfere with such a thing, let alone negotiate with the other party so politely. In fact, Liu Yongzhuo is standing by his side now, and he must let Liu Yongzhuo see how the Baise Municipal Government is friendly to the people.

A trace of disdain appeared in Ms. Zhao's eyes, and she said hatefully: "I have nothing to do with you bureaucrats. I only have one requirement, that is, this chemical factory must be stopped and cannot be allowed to harm the people of Baise."

Hearing that she refused to negotiate with Yu Ping, the two female policemen did not dare to let her go, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Liu Yongzhuo walked up and said to the lady: "It's Ms. Zhao, right? Let me introduce myself. I am Liu Yongzhuo, general manager of Guangdong Huayang Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd., and I also came to Baise to invest. Can you give me a face to clarify the reasons for your opposition to building this chemical factory? If your reasons stand firm, I may be able to do some work for you."

"Huayang Heavy Industry?" Ms. Zhao nodded and said, "I have heard of your company in Guilin. Your education fund has funded many out-of-school children. Well, you two, please let me go. I will tell this General Manager Liu."

The two female police officers let go of Ms. Zhao. As expected, she did not run back to stop the construction. Instead, she stood there, raised her hand to clean her messy hair first, and then pulled her clothes, making her look less embarrassed.

After seeing her finishing the packing, Liu Yongzhuo asked, "Ms. Zhao, you can do it now. Why are you obstructing the construction of this company? By the way, can you take the liberty to ask about your name and identity?"

Ms. Zhao looked at Liu Yongzhuo and then slowly came: "My name is Zhao Caizhen, I am a native of Baise. I also studied in Wuhan in university and am currently unemployed. I and a few friends who have the same ideals are preparing to establish an environmental protection association, which is the non-governmental organization, which is mainly committed to the environmental protection cause."

"So that's it." Liu Yongzhuo nodded. He looked up at the crowd around him and said to Zhao Caizhen: "Ms. Zhao, this is not a place to talk, why don't we talk about it in another place. Mayor Yue is here too. Let's talk about environmental protection together to see if your matter makes sense. What do you think?"

Zhao Caizhen looked unhappy and asked, "General Manager Liu, are you trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain? I've passed and this factory will not stop working, so I won't leave."

Liu Yongzhuo smiled relaxedly and said, "Ms. Zhao, a factory was not built in one day. You are with us now. If we can't reach an agreement, you can come to protest tomorrow, or even bring more people. Is that true? You may have many reasons, but do you think you can be clear on such an occasion?"

After all, Zhao Caizhen is just a girl in her twenties and has a tough personality. But she has little experience.

After hearing what Liu Yongzhuo said, she nodded and said, "Your ones make sense, so I'll go with you. I hope General Manager Liu can have an open mind. After all, among our peers, you are a very tall image."

"That's a misunderstanding. Actually, I'm just a young man from a good background." Liu Yongzhuo said with a smile.

Yue Huanshan was naturally happy to end an incident in this way, so he immediately asked someone to make arrangements. He found a conference room in the county government of Tiandong County and brought Zhao Caizhen there.

The doctors from the two county doctors also arrived quickly and treated Zhao Caizhen's place where the body was scratched by the soil.

"Okay, now Mr. Lin, me, and the person in charge of Tiandong County are all here. Ms. Zhao, if you have any opinions, please come up with it here." Yue Huanshan sat upright in the host's position and asked Zhao Caizhen.

Although Zhao Caizhen was young, she was not nervous. She talked happily in the face of the room.

"Sir, I think everyone knows the harms of environmental pollution. The pollution caused by Western countries in the first hundred years of development, according to current research in our country, even if trillions of dollars were spent after the fact, it was not completely eliminated."

"Our country is now in the process of rapid industrialization. The pollution caused by excessive industrial development in various places is very serious, which has attracted the attention of the federal government. In wealthy areas, environmental protection issues are already the first factor in urban development that is higher than the economy."

Zhao Caizhen fully accepted the new ideas proposed by the Chinese Federation during her college years, which was decades earlier than the West paying attention to environmental protection issues, and was considered a preparatory plan.

"Ms. Zhao, we all know about you. Look, there are government staff members of the Tiandong County Environmental Protection Committee here today." Yue Huanshan pointed to an official sitting at the corner of the table.

"I know him." Zhao Caizhen glanced at the official and said, "He is Li Yuegen, vice president of Tiandong Environmental Protection Committee? I have contacted him many times for the matter of Tiandong Chemical Factory."

Li Yuegen also stood up: "Yes, Ms. Zhao, our district environmental protection committee has given you a formal reply to the question about Tiandong Chemical Factory. The environmental protection measures of this chemical factory are very complete. The investor promises that there will never be any waste gas or wastewater discharged that exceeds the standard. Have you seen these materials, right?"

Zhao Caizhen turned her face dark: "What are the uses of environmental protection measures? Any measures cannot be taken care of. Baise is a place with green mountains and green waters, with a beautiful environment. Building factories here is itself a destruction of the local environment and infringement of the welfare of the local people."

"You are, all factories are destroying the local environment?" Liu Yongzhuo keenly discovered the difference in Xie Mingcheng's words.

"Of course it is!" Zhao Caizhen said, "As long as it is an industry, it will cause pollution to the environment, but the degree of pollution is different. Baise should not develop industry at all. The development of industry is entirely to meet the needs of local officials to pursue economic indicators."

Liu Yongzhuo laughed in silence. It seemed that the girl in front of him was still a very extreme environmentalist, not only opposed chemical factories, but also opposed all forms of factories.

In her opinion, only the original one is the best. But is such an ideal really consistent with the ideals of the local people?

"Ms. Zhao, I heard that you were besieged just now. Do you know who was besieging you?" Liu Yongzhuo asked.

"Of course it's the factory. I've delayed their money making, so they will hate me." Zhao Caizhen said hatefully.

Liu Yongzhuo shook his head and sighed: "You are wrong. It is not the factory who smashed the soil at you. It is the people around you, that is, the people who you always want to protect their interests."

"No! They must be disguised by the factory." Zhao Caizhen was still sticking to her own opinion, "Which ordinary person doesn't want his living environment to be clean? They are not officials, so how could they support the construction of such projects for economic indicators?"

"Whoever listens to people does not need economic indicators?" Liu Yongzhuo couldn't help but scold. "Let me tell you, I've learned about it just now. Those who smashed dirt at you are the people around you. Some of them can go to the factory to work after the factory is completed. The salary they receive is more than five times more than their current income from farming."

"Others among them are planning to rent the house to workers in the future factory, one that can earn hundreds of dollars. If you block factory construction and don't let them make money, can they not hate you?"

"Why are these people so short-sighted!" Zhao Caizhen shouted aggrievedly after hearing this.

Liu Yongzhuo has seen many people like Zhao Caizhen who hold a beautiful and simple idea. As China's economy flourishes day by day, various views on "opposing the worship of industrial output value" are constantly being published in the newspapers.

Some people believe that the essence of the economic indicator of pursuing industrial output value is that officials pursue political achievements, while others believe that industrial output value is actually just some numerical symbols and has no meaning to the people.

When he was studying, Liu Yongzhuo was half-believing and half-doubted about this view. He was a mechanical student and did not have a deep understanding of economics. He did not make any mistakes in this view.

But when he really entered society and came into contact with the entire industry and experienced China's development path again, he began to form his own view on this issue. That is: industrial output value is definitely not omnipotent, but without industrial output value it is absolutely impossible.

Industrial output value is actually similar to later GDP, or it is called "gross domestic product", which refers to the sum of all new value added by a country in a designated year, which is the value created by all labor and capital in a year.

Calculated according to the income method, this economic indicator is equal to the sum of workers' remuneration, operating profit, net production tax and depreciation, representing the compensation of workers, capitalists, government income and all fixed assets respectively.

The consumption of a country's people, investment of enterprises, etc. must come from the total output value. This output value cannot represent all happiness, but if you want to pursue happiness, you cannot be without industrial production.

Just like Zhao Caizhen, the Baise Municipal Government’s purpose of attracting investment is to increase the local GDP, but this is not a sin.

On the contrary, if the local GDP is high, it means that the people's income increases and fiscal and tax revenue increases. Only when the finances are rich can it be possible to invest in education, medical care, poverty alleviation and other aspects. Without production, all social welfare is just a pie painted on paper.

"Ms. Zhao, since you are a native of Baise, do you think the people of Baise live in poverty?" Liu Yongzhuo asked. But he already understood what Zhao Caizhen meant and knew that she was also out of sincerity, so it was not convenient to simply deal with this matter. He hoped that he could convince Zhao Caizhen.

"Of course poverty!" Zhao Caizhen said bluntly. She was also a smart person in Bingxue. When she heard Liu Yongzhuo's words, she knew that Liu Yongzhuo wanted to guide her thoughts, so she took the initiative to attack: "However, the reason for Baise's poverty is not the laziness of Baise's people, but...they, government officials, are inaction."

At this point, Zhao Caizhen used her hand to make a circle in the conference room and put all local officials such as Yue Huanshan into it. She was actually just the time to live in Baise. Now her parents have been transferred to Nanning, the capital of Guizhou Province to work. She herself has returned from studying abroad outside the province and has no timidity towards the local officials in Baise.

Yue Huanshan was a little annoyed, but with Liu Yongzhuo beside him, he was not in a state of furiousness. He said to Zhao Caizhen: "Ms. Zhao, you must be responsible for your words. If we do not do anything, how could we bring in the Tiandong Chemical Factory?"

"Do you know how much energy the staff in Tiandong area have spent to attract this company? Also, as the mayor, I have to go to Liuzhou in person and invite General Manager Liu and his party to go to Baise to invest and build a company. Is this also inaction?"

"You just have simple thinking!" Zhao Caizhen said bluntly, "Okay, I admit that you want to change Baise's appearance and make Baise's people rich. But the method you chose was wrong. Other places have become rich by developing industries, so you also want to attract industrial projects to Baise."

"But have you considered Baise's ecological environment? A beautiful place like Baise will soon be turned into a place where you can't survive by smoke."

"Uh...Ms. Zhao, don't be too exaggerated, right?" Liu Yongzhuo was helpless. "The factories in Liuzhou and Dongguan are more than twice as many as Baise. I haven't seen anyone who can't survive there. Do you think I look like an alien?"
