In order to expand the low-end product line, increase revenue stability, and also to get more chips in the price war, Xu Xiaoran is responsible for the capital-level operation and acquires lithium battery manufacturers.

In theory, this is indeed a good practice under price wars. Since Zhilai has a financial advantage, he should take advantage of the financial advantage. It just so happens that many manufacturers are also confused by price wars and cannot cope with the fierce competition after capital invasion, and they all have the intention to cash out and leave the scene.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Xiaoran spent a lot of money to acquire a large lithium battery manufacturer Shuilianshan Battery Factory, an environmental pollution crisis broke out.

Shuilianshan Battery Factory was exposed to emit a large amount of heavy metal pollution to the surrounding land!

As a top student, Wei Lai worked hard on many basic common sense in order to avoid revealing the truth.

Lithium batteries are not that much pollution at all!

In fact, the overall pollution emissions of lithium batteries themselves and during the production process are very controllable.

In one sentence, it is clear: several places that may cause pollution are profitable and have complete recycling measures.

There are three large heads that may be contaminated: heavy metals of NMP, Co, Mn, electrolyte lithium salts and solvents; all of them can be sold for money.

Pollution that is worthless is waste, and it may be directly discharged without control.

But how can valuable things be directly emitted?

Workers also know that electric cars can be sold for money if they are used in old ways. Who would be willing to throw them into the ground and pollute the environment?

Moreover, the pollution of lithium batteries is much easier to deal with than the pollution of lead batteries.

Therefore, when Wei Lai heard that the newly acquired Shuilianshan Battery Factory had a pollution crisis, he only had four words: Unbelievable.

The more unbelievable the problem is, the more serious the problem will become after it breaks out.

"We have fallen into the trap... my responsibility. I... am willing to take all the responsibility." When Wei Lai saw Xu Xiaoran again, he quickly understood the whole story and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Xu Xiaoran had a bare face and was haggard. Her facial features were still beautiful and charming, but she was full of shame.

"It's not the time to talk about these things now. Since the war begins, we are all comrades in the trench. I don't agree to being deserters at this time. Besides, I delegate power to you. If you want to talk about responsibility, I will take it all first, and then talk about your affairs." Wei Lai asked again:

"Tell me carefully, what is going on?"

"Huiyi Consortium obviously grasped our trends, so it took the initiative to negotiate acquisitions with other large and medium-sized lithium battery manufacturers, deliberately raised the price, leaving only a trace of flaw in the Shuilianshan Lithium Battery Factory. In the end, we acquired the Shuilianshan Lithium Battery Factory, but unexpectedly a very strange pollution incident suddenly broke out." Xu Xiaoran said.

"A man-made trap?" Wei Lai asked.

"The trap is man-made. I am 80% sure that the Huiyi Consortium bribed people and deliberately created pollution. But the reason why it is so serious is that the polluted land existed long before the battery factory. The factory was originally a printing factory building, and I don't know how those people dealt with it later. I didn't find this during the due diligence. This is also my dereliction of duty..." Xu Xiaoran gritted her teeth, both annoyed and ashamed.

"The media and public opinion are under great pressure, and the official response is also very fast. We are directly fined and closed for rectification. The huge amount of money we invested was wasted. The orders for ordinary lithium batteries that we originally received could not be fulfilled and we had to bear a large amount of liquidated damages. What's more troublesome is that now there are still residents who are asking for compensation for it..."

"I understand, I also heard that you advised Xu to borrow money from Zhi, but it dragged down Xu... Xiaoran, you have done a good job. But we are indeed very weak. Just do our best and have a clear conscience. There is no need to blame us too much." Wei Lai let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, I'm back." Wei Lai realized that a strong enemy had come.

But in the same way, he also burned his ambitions.

"Next, it's time for them to see and see, my means."

A month has passed.

Few people know Wei Lai's whereabouts, and very few people understand Wei Lai's hardships.

But what surprised outsiders was that the child, such a rapid development of Zhilai Technology, grew up rapidly and was facing a crisis, and was not knocked down or squeezed down.

No one knows what magic Wei Lai has, which allows all the people who come to the wise and technology to quickly stabilize the situation and calm down.

However, the moment when the winner is about to be decided has arrived.

Yaocheng, Shuilian Mountain.

Wei Lai accompanied the city leaders and walked on the road. Looking at the polluted land, both of them looked very solemn.

"As a well-known high-tech enterprise, Zhilai Technology is very welcome to come to Shuilianshan Investment. But... the seriousness of the whole matter has reached the point where it must be resolved as soon as possible." The city leader of Yaocheng said, taking out a thick stack of newspapers from his hand.

"There are 13 major national newspapers reported."

"There are dozens of articles from various self-media, and 100,000+ articles."

"The most important thing is... the local residents' emotions are very unstable, and the possibility of mass time again is too high. Therefore, we have to make such a decision. Comrades in environmental protection also made a decision in accordance with the law and regulations: Shuilianshan Battery Factory will be closed and rectified."

Wei Lai listened quietly to the city leaders' speeches. In theory, there was no need for a city-level leader to come to explain in person if a business closure is suspended and rectified.

But this time, Wei Lai took the initiative and invited the city leaders in charge over on the grounds that Zhilai Technology was about to start a huge investment in Shuilianshan.

Wei Lai knew very well that Huiyi Consortium had done a lot of work in the official position, and he had to strive for the balance not to be controlled by the other party at will.

"We have no objection to environmental protection problems and the suspension of business is to deal with it. This is a legal and reasonable solution, and it is also a responsibility we should bear. Zhilai Technology is developing too fast and some problems have not been handled well. We understand and support the decision made by the city, and we will use this time to cultivate internal strength."

Wei Lei paused and said, "But when the rectification can be completed and the acceptance will be passed. We have no idea, so we invite the leader to come this time just to solve this problem."

"No one can make a decision in person and give an answer immediately. Continuing to discuss this professional issue with the expert group scientifically and rigorously, it also requires a complete procedure and a legal and compliant process. Please understand this, Mr. Wei." The city leader said without any haste, rolled up his sleeves, and glanced at the time.

Wei Lai sighed in his heart, knowing that there is very little time and opportunity left for him.

"I understand, so this time I come here, I also want to talk about Zhilai Technology's next work plan. I believe that after listening, everything will be properly resolved." Wei Lai took out a report and talked about his plan concisely.

As the leaders of Yaocheng City listened, their eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter, and their expression seemed a little incredible and incredible.
