Chapter 992 Environmental issues

"Puchi..." Zhao Caizhen was amused by Liu Yongzhuo. Although she was an environmentalist in the new era, she was only in her twenties, so she was not as cunning as she was. Book friends uploaded

After she smiled, she quickly raised her face and said, "I think there is no need for Baise to follow the old path of pollution first and then control in heavy industrial areas. It can develop some pollution-free industries."

"Can you give an example?" This was not the first time Liu Yongzhuo has heard such a conclusion, he was very calm.

"For example, the tourism industry!" Zhao Caizhen obviously came prepared. "Baise mountains are high and beautiful, and there are hundreds of attractions that can be found in the number of attractions. Why can't we vigorously develop the tourism industry?"

"We have developed the tourism industry." Yue Huanshan said indignantly, "We have developed several tourism routes and have also done tourism advertising on provincial TV stations. Who hasn't developed the tourism industry?"

"This is far from enough!" Zhao Caizhen quickly shouted, "Look at the Yellowstone Park in the United States, it is a world-famous tourist area. I have seen it. The scenery there is definitely not as good as our Baise. Why can't we build Jingxi into a world-class tourist attraction like Yellowstone Park?"

As the earliest national park established in the world, Yellowstone Park is still not famous.

An Haoyu, who had not said anything, suddenly interrupted: "Ms. Zhao, I have been to the United States, and I have visited Huangshi Park. Your idea is indeed correct. However, I would like to ask you one thing. According to your estimate, if Baise increases its efforts in tourism development, how many tourists can it receive in a year?"

"How many..." Zhao Caizhen was a little speechless. She did not have such a concept of quantity in her mind. She stammered, "I think at least, there will be no less than 100,000 people a year, right?"

"One hundred thousand people, well, okay, let me calculate it for you. Everyone's travel here is nothing more than accommodation and catering. Accommodation fee is 15 yuan a day, and meals are 15 yuan. They play here for three days. Before leaving, they buy some souvenirs, which is 30 yuan. The per capita consumption is 100 yuan, right?" An Haoyu calculated for Zhao Caizhen with his fingers.

"Well. It's about the same." Zhao Caizhen also agreed. She had traveled to China with her friends. She knew that An Haoyu's algorithm was roughly correct, and even slightly higher.

An Haoyu then said: "In this way, the total tourism consumption of 100,000 people is 10 million yuan. If it is divided into two million people in Jingxi, each person's income from the tourism industry does not exceed five yuan. This is still gross income, and there is no cost deduction. Do you think that such an income can help the local people get rid of poverty?"

"This..." Zhao Caizhen was stunned. She was an environmentalist. When it comes to economic calculations, she was not An Haoyu's opponent. An Haoyu's calculations were seamless, which made her unable to argue at all.

"But if our reputation is great, maybe there may be less than 100,000 people a year, or 500,000 people?" Xie Mingcheng said.

"That's the city's per capita income increased by 50 yuan. Is this a lot?" An Haoyu asked briefly.

"What if it was five million people?" Zhao Caizhen and An Haoyu were competing.

An Haoyu smiled slightly: If five million people enter the mountain, there are 15,000 people every day. This is not the obstacle caused by the heavy snow in Baise to block the mountain in winter. Can the road to enter the mountain afford it? Are Baise's accommodation facilities sufficient?"

"You can widen the road..." Zhao Caizhen knew that she was wrong as soon as she said that she said that she was wrong.

Sure enough, Yue Huanshan finally got the opportunity to fight back. He sneered: "Ms. Zhao, you really don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. Do you know how much investment you need to widen the road to the mountain? Just count it casually, there is no effect without 100 million yuan. Baise's annual finance is less than 40 million. Where do you ask us to get you money?"

"Haha, Ms. Zhao, you know now. It is absolutely impossible to have no GDP without GDP." Liu Yongzhuo laughed.

"Don't be busy." An Haoyu found a sense of superiority from his rebuttal to Zhao Caizhen. He interrupted Yue Huanshan and Liu Yongzhuo impolitely and continued to teach Xie Mingcheng.

"Ms. Zhao, maybe you think that talking about money is too vulgar, so let's talk about environmental protection. If you are based on your experience, Baise receives five million tourists a year, and each tourist stays in the mountains for three days, the average mountain will accommodate 50,000 tourists every day.

These 50,000 people are mainly concentrated in a few tourist attractions. Have you ever thought about how much harm their activities will bring to local vegetation and animals. How much ecological pressure will the domestic waste they cause will bring to the local area?"

"But..." Zhao Caizhen was a little defeated. It was no wonder that local officials like Yue Huanshan were not afraid of their level, but people like Liu Yongzhuo and An Haoyu all had both professional knowledge and rich business experience. The problems they were thinking about were much more mature than those of idealists like Zhao Caizhen who had just left campus.

"So, Mr. An, do you think Huangshi Park is also a failure? Why hasn't it happened like yours?" Zhao Caizhen asked refusingly.

An Haoyu was not panicked: "Ms. Zhao, you have overlooked many problems. First of all, tourists to Huangshi Park are all European and American tourists, and their per capita consumption is more than seven or eight times that of Chinese tourists. Therefore, Huangshi Park only needs to receive one-tenth of the number of tourists we just calculated to make a profit."

"Secondly, Wyoming, where Yellowstone is located, has only 500,000 people in total, while Baise has two million residents, and their respective burdens are completely different. Third, Wyoming itself does not rely on tourism to maintain its economy. It has mining and oil refining industries. It is precisely these industries that provide it with sufficient financial resources so that it does not need to rely on Yellowstone to stimulate local economic development at all."

Liu Yongzhuo also took over the conversation: "Ms. Zhao, you have accepted the latest environmental concepts in school and want to promote it to reality. This is worthy of recognition. But you must carefully understand what Mr. An just now. The facts are different, and some things cannot be simply copied. Human life is first based on production, and then you can talk about other things, otherwise it is just a fantasy."

"Although Baise's basic living situation has improved a little bit compared to the past, compared with some economically prosperous places, it is still a pauper. A pauper is more casual than a millionaire. Isn't this asking for death by himself?"

Zhao Caizhen was speechless, and it took a long time to sigh and said, "According to your method, Baise has no other way out except to be polluted by the factories you brought to you?"

The evolution of the industrial structure of human society is regular.

First, we evolved from an agricultural society to an industrial society. Only after the industry fully developed will we enter the economic model dominated by the tertiary industry. Before the industrial foundation was established, we would talk about culture and service industries. That was ridiculous.

Zhao Caizhen is not a brick-hitting man who was in the head of a later generation. She just lacked practical experience. After hearing the well-founded analysis of An Haoyu and others, her beliefs began to loosen, but the instinct formed over the years still made her doubts about the development of industry in Baise.

Liu Yongzhuo advised from the side: "Ms. Zhao, in fact, your words have also given us a lot of inspiration. Mayor Yue, I think our Baise Municipal Government should also seriously think about the questions raised by Ms. Zhao. While developing the economy, environmental protection must not be ignored."

His next sentence was directed at Yue Huanshan. He is now the most honorable guest of Baise. He has a huge halo of "one sentence is worth ten thousand sentences" on his head. Yue Huanshan dared not refute his words, so he could only follow his words.

"Mr. Liu has to be very right. Ms. Zhao taught us a very educational lesson. Indeed, we must not only develop the economy and ensure that the environment is not polluted."

"Since that's the case, why do you still want to continue to build the Tiandong Chemical Factory?" Zhao Caizhen was right now and finally brought the topic back to her original intention.

"The environmental impact assessment of this chemical plant has passed the test," said Li Yuegen, vice president of Tiandong Environmental Protection Committee. "We have all the environmental impact assessment materials it submitted here. The investors promise that during the production period, they will definitely not emit wastewater and waste gas that exceeds the standard to the environment."

"Can this be done?" Liu Yongzhuo turned his head and asked An Haoyu. He did not ask Li Yuegen. Instead, he chose to let An Haoyu, who has professional evaluation skills, answered, hoping to technically evaluate whether the investor's promise is credible.

In order to obtain investment opportunities, some investors often make various unrealistic promises. After the project is put into production, they would rather accept fines than fulfill their promises.

When An Haoyu was a graduate student, he was engaged in industrial engineering and was good at making economic assessments of various technologies, which can often be used to predict corporate behavior.

Enterprises are the main body that pursues profit maximization. If the cost of pollution control is lower than the expenditure of fines, then enterprises will be willing to control pollution. On the contrary, if the investment in pollution control exceeds the fine, then enterprises will choose to accept the fine and emit arbitrary emissions.

An Haoyu's eyebrows frowned into a lump. He gently tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, pondered for a long time before saying, "I just heard that Mayor Yue, this company produces laundry detergent, and all the products are exported to the United States. As a company that produces laundry detergent, it is not difficult to ensure that wastewater and waste gas are fully treated. The technology in this area is now very mature and the cost is not high. Therefore, it is credible that Tiandong Chemical Factory makes this promise."

"Look, Ms. Zhao, if you don't believe me, you always believe Mr. An, right?" Li Yuegen said to Zhao Caizhen proudly. He had already seen from the conversation just now that An Haoyu had the ability to convince Zhao Caizhen, and she no longer dared to question the words of An Haoyu, an expert.

Zhao Caizhen rolled her eyes back to Li Yuegen and said, "Vice President Li, don't be full of words, Mr. An has no words to finish."

Sure enough, after the above analysis, An Haoyu frowned even harder, and hesitated and said, "I just don't understand why this company built a factory that produces laundry detergent to Baise?"

"It's a long time to get up." County Magistrate Tian Dong said with great emotion, "Mr. An, you don't know that in order to attract this company to invest in our Tian Donglai, the staff of our Investment Promotion Bureau have put in a lot of effort."

"The investor is Zou Rirong. He is an overseas Chinese who has returned from the United States. He wants to build such a Sino-US joint venture in China to produce new types of laundry detergent. Listen, many cities and cities in China are looking for him. In the end, he was moved by the staff of our Investment Promotion Bureau and decided to build the factory here."

"The spirit of this Mr. Zou is the same as Mr. Liu and Mr. An, and they are all worthy of our Baise people's gratitude." Yue Huanshan said with emotion.

"Is this Zou Rirong very rich?" An Haoyu asked again.

"It's not very rich. His life is very frugal. It sounds like he earned the first amount of money from starting a business in the United States." The county magistrate quickly replied.

"Why? Lao An, do you think there is a problem in the middle?" Liu Yongzhuo asked when he heard that An Haoyu was in doubt.

An Haoyu shook his head and said, "I may be judging a gentleman's ambition with a human heart. Laundry detergent is not a high value-added product, and the demand for labor is not large. On the contrary, the value of its unit weight is relatively low. Therefore, the requirements for transportation conditions are very high."

"A product like this should not be laid out in areas with extremely inconvenient transportation conditions. This Zou Rirong built the laundry detergent factory in Jingxi, which clearly could only make losses."

"What if his products were sold locally? This way the transportation cost would be lower." Liu Yongzhuo asked back.

"No, Mr. Zou. All his products are exported to the United States." The county magistrate replied on behalf of An Haoyu.

"This is the flaw." An Haoyu's brows were deep, "First of all, it is very difficult to transport laundry detergent from Baise to the outside of the mountain. Secondly, it takes hundreds of kilometers to transport it outside of the mountain to reach the southern port. This is a very unreasonable industrial layout."

Liu Yongzhuo also understood a little. When he contacted the question asked by An Haoyu before, he said: "There is indeed unreasonable in this way. Zou Rirong is not a very rich entrepreneur, he is a person who just started a business. At this time, it is impossible to choose a loss-making business method because he was moved by Baise government staff."

"If it were a large enterprise like our Huayang Heavy Industry who did this, it would be barely understandable that Zou Rirong's doing this is completely unreasonable."

As a mayor of a prefecture-level city, Yue Huanshan only lacks knowledge level and is still able to pass the IQ. He also felt something was wrong when he heard about An Haoyu and Liu Yongzhuo.

Before this, he only saw that the Tiandong Chemical Factory could bring investment and employment opportunities. After the production in the future, there would be fiscal and tax revenue, so he never analyzed the rationality of this investment from the perspective of an enterprise like An Haoyu and others. Now, after the analysis of Liu Yongzhuo and An Haoyu, he also became confused.

"County Magistrate Qin, have you asked Mr. Feng? Did he build a laundry detergent factory?" Yue Huanshan hurriedly asked the elected county magistrate of Tiandong County in detail.

"I must have asked about this. He produced washing powder or a new type of washing powder, which has a US patent. However, I don't understand the specific technology." The elected county magistrate named Qin is also quite innocent. He really only knows these things.

Li Yuegen smoothed out: "This is not a big problem. No matter whether he produces laundry detergent or other products, as long as he can fulfill his promise of not discharge pollutants, it will be the same. If you are worried, after his company goes into production, I, Lao Li, will set up a shed at the door of his factory and stare at it every day. As long as his emissions exceed the standard, I will seal his door immediately. What do you think?"

"I think it's OK," said Yue Huanshan. "Mr. Liu, Mr. An, by the way, and Ms. Zhao. If you feel uneasy, we can introduce a policy. As long as the emissions of this company do not meet the standards, we will close the door and let it stop production."

"Even if it is willing to pay a fine, we will not accept it. No matter how much it pays, we cannot allow it to pollute our Baise environment, are you?"

When Yue Huanshan's words reached this level, Zhao Caizhen had nothing to say.

An Haoyu had already educated her before that to make the people of Baise rich, they must rely on the development of industry and carry out real production activities. Other so-called zero-pollution industries, green industries, etc. are too early in Baise today and are not at all responsible.

Since industry is to be developed, a little pollution is definitely inevitable. If the government really has such a great courage and promises that if emissions exceed the standard, the door will be closed, and Zhao Caizhen will not find any reason to object.

"Director Li, I think you seem to be bringing environmental assessment information from Tiandong Chemical Factory? Can you show it to me?" An Haoyu said to Li Yuegen.

Li Yuegen knew that today would be related to Tiandong Chemical Factory, so he brought relevant information about Tiandong Chemical Factory. Hearing An Haoyu's words, he quickly pushed a large file bag along the desktop.

"Please see, this is all the information submitted by Yanling Chemical Factory to our Environmental Protection Committee, which contains their production line drawings and the drawings of sewage and waste gas treatment equipment. These are all reviewed."

An Haoyu was not polite, so he took the file bag and opened it, took out the drawings inside, and spread them on the table.

Liu Yongzhuo and An Haoyu sat together, and at this time they stood up and looked at the drawings with An Haoyu. One of the major industries of Huayang Heavy Industry is chemical equipment manufacturing. From the early days of chemical fertilizer equipment, it has developed to today's all-encompassing and covering almost all types of chemical equipment.

As technical officials, Liu Yongzhuo and An Haoyu are naturally clear about equipment drawings.

The two of them slashed at the drawings and said in unison: "Zou Rirong is lying, this is not a laundry detergent production line!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and they exploded directly in the hearts of Yue Huanshan and others.
