Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Seven

He Jiaguo snorted, and said disapprovingly: "I don't think there may be no political interests involved! Let the workers occupy the factory for a long time, forming a stalemate, and our car radio station broadcasts in the park every day. This is not a good idea. The situation? Isn’t it a visual publicity of Secretary Zhong’s defeat? I may not know Secretary Zhong, but I do know Mr. Zhao well. After all, I have been his son-in-law! The second investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department The group is coming again, can he not find a balance in politics?"

The political life in Xiajiang City still maintains the calmness of the past, and the social order still maintains the daily stability. Zhong Mingren is well aware of the crisis behind this peace and stability: after all, the International Industrial Park has been in operation for 15 years, and so many contradictions and problems have accumulated. Once the law is enforced, the curve is difficult to turn. Once the measures are not taken properly and the curve turns sharply, the car will overturn!Therefore, Zhong Mingren paid close attention to the development of the International Industrial Park, and asked the secretary to ask Li Dongfang and He Jiaguo for information almost every day in the first few days.Li Dongfang understood Zhong Mingren's mood, and later took the initiative to report, and asked the confidential staff of the municipal party committee to submit the first issue of the "Situation Briefing" to Zhong Mingren's office before the ink was dry.

As the meetings were held one after another, the situation gradually improved, and the chaotic momentum was effectively contained. The party members and cadres of Xingguang Plating Company quickly changed their positions after being criticized by the municipal party committee. Intervened in the labor negotiations of Jingliang International Company. After several rounds of see-saw, the Taiwanese boss finally signed the aftermath problem settlement agreement. The long-term wage arrears problem of the workers was solved, and the factory occupation problem was also solved; environmental protection propaganda also played a role. The photo exhibition at the entrance of the park made many people see the serious consequences of the pollution of the Xiajiang River for the first time, and knew what "heavy metals" and "Minamata disease" were for the first time.

On the tenth day after the government order was issued, most of the organized activities of "protecting factories and posts" ended, and the major problems were basically solved. Although some employees of the twelve enterprises did not evacuate, they were all stragglers. The workers are still left to deal with the aftermath.The staff of the provincial and municipal environmental protection bureaus and dozens of security policemen entered the park peacefully, and all the production workshops of the polluting enterprises were sealed.The whole process was indeed safe and smooth. Except for a few small incidents of pushing and scuffling, no violent conflict occurred, and the public security organs did not arrest a single person.

This issue of "Situation Briefing" was sent to Zhong Mingren by the confidential staff within two hours. Zhong Mingren called Li Dongfang, saying that he wanted to visit the International Industrial Park.At that time, Li Dongfang was holding a meeting with comrades from the Foreign Economic and Economic Committee to study the matter of attracting investment. When he heard that Secretary Zhong wanted to visit the industrial park, he dared not neglect and asked Qian Fanxing to continue the meeting. He got into the car and went to the park by himself. Welcome Zhong Mingren at the gate of the park.

Unexpectedly, it was only when they reached the gate of the park that they realized that Zhong Mingren had already arrived. He went to Xingguang Plating Company without asking anyone to accompany him. After meeting Zhong Mingren at Xingguang Plating Company, Li Dongfang joked, "Secretary Zhong, are you afraid of being deceived by others, and worried that I will deceive you this time?" Zhong Mingren also said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Yes, once bitten by a snake, I am afraid of well ropes for ten years!" Then, the smile on his face faded, and his expression became serious, "Comrade Dongfang, it's not easy, this The corner has finally turned around, you guys did a good job!"

Li Dongfang thought for a while: "Secretary Zhong, I also had a process of understanding. I really discovered the seriousness of the problem after I became mayor in 1993. Less than a year after I became mayor, a comparison occurred in the International Industrial Park. Serious pollution incident. After dealing with this incident, I raised the issue of gradually shutting down the pollution-producing enterprises that cannot be remodeled to Comrade Zhao Qigong, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Zhao Qigong disagreed, saying that this is your political achievement project and cannot be touched. I also have selfish intentions, no I wanted to make trouble, so I worked hard on the technical transformation of the sewage system. Of course, this kind of effort was in vain, and the effect was not great. Afterwards, I mentioned it to Comrade Zhao Qigong several times. Get my position right, once my position is right, the problem will be dragged down, that's why I said, my responsibility is no less than yours."
