Chapter 73 Dilemma

Ling Zhengyue walked around the office with his hands on his back, and he couldn't suppress his inner anger.

How important is this to Tongcheng and An Yuan for 30 billion yuan? Could it be that Zhao Guodong doesn’t understand the priorities? In his opinion, Zhao Guodong is just sticking to it and not knowing how to adapt. He also said that this person is open-minded and flexible, but his performance is simply disregarding the overall situation!

Although the boss of Sinopec was half-joking on the phone, Ling Zhengyue could hear the other party's inner dissatisfaction, which was not a threat, but it was also a warning to An Yuan, don't think that the emperor's daughter would not have to worry about marrying. An Yuan did not want to take on this project. Some places wanted to, Sichuan, Chongqing and even Xinjiang, they were all throwing balls to attract them.

Of course, Ling Zhengyue was not so angry because of the other party's words, because he had expressed his meaning through some different occasions. He believed that Zhao Guodong was a smart person and should understand his intentions. This project cannot be missed!

To be honest, although he was not very satisfied with Zhao Guodong's former governor as the governor of An, and even had some intentions of being indifferent to the other party, he still quickly adjusted his mentality.

As a provincial party secretary and squad leader, he was not united with the people in the team, especially with the deputy. The central government would only hit him with the board. Zhao Guodong had just arrived and was so young, maybe the central government would just put Zhao Guodong here to partner with him, and to let him lead the area. If he couldn't even do this well, he would underestimate his mind and ambition.

Besides, he still has some hope for Zhao Guodong. Didn’t he say he is very good at economic work? Ning Ling can make a fortune in his hands, so maybe the Anyuan platform can also touch him well. What he needs to do is to keep the rudder well.

But he never expected that Zhao Guodong would focus on the Pipaxi Science and Technology Corridor as soon as he came. This was originally a matter of being led by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. In his opinion, it tasted a bit like a bottomless pit, but the province took on this hot potato, and I don’t know how deep it would be dragged down.

I won’t say that this is a real investment of 30 billion yuan. Germany’s BASF is also a top 500 company in the world. It also has a joint venture project in Rongshan. It is also very pleasant to cooperate with Anyuan. In addition, Sinopec is such a big project that is hard to find even with lanterns. I don’t know why Zhao Guodong always dislikes this project. Thinking of Zhao Guodong’s somewhat extreme remarks when he was deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Ling Zhengyue had to suspect that the other party had an inexplicable prejudice mentality towards foreign capital and central enterprises.

Zhao Guodong's performance during the National Development and Reform Commission was not in charge of himself, but on this major project related to Anyuan's development, Ling Zhengyue would never allow anyone to act emotionally. If it affects Anyuan's development, it would not work, no one would do it! Even if Ling Zhengyue broke up for this, he would not care about it. If this matter really affects the so-called unity of the team, then this so-called unity and harmony would not be necessary!

He wanted to call Zhao Guodong immediately and ask what problems exist in the Tongcheng project, why the provincial government has not made a decision for a long time, and what is the reason for the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau and the Department of Land and Resources has not given a clear answer yet? But Ling Zhengyue quickly warned himself to control his anger. As a secretary of the provincial party committee, he should not be easily controlled by bad emotions, but should learn to control his emotions.

When he turned his head, his face had calmed down again. He slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he calmly said: "Wei Hong, tell me the truth. Is this project seriously hindering the environmental protection issue? Needless to say, the procedural issue, I think the provincial government can coordinate the procedures with the Ministry of Land and Resources, but environmental protection issues are not a small matter. We must ensure development, but we cannot sacrifice the environment for economic development. Then we will be poked by future generations for the backbone of our lives. As a local party committee and government, we must have a clear understanding of this issue. I just want to tell the truth!"

Lu Weihong only felt that his scalp was numb. How could there be no problem with the chemical project? Even if the process flow is advanced and the environmental protection system is strict, it is not a foolproof one. Especially for such a large project, which is large in scale, covers a wide area, and involves all aspects. This is one of the main reasons. The key is that some environmental protection facilities that are controversial on the issue of right and wrong are huge, and they are also incredible to operate. On this issue, the owners react the most strongly.

However, the provincial government was very nervous about this issue, and Lu Weihong also scratched his head for it, but the controversy over this issue was stalemate. Sinopec was furious about it and also said to himself, the secretary of the municipal party committee. If he could not make a breakthrough, he would really have to transfer his position.

"Secretary Ling, to be honest, the questions raised by the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau are not nitpicking. They certainly have their basis for picking up the bones in the eggs. However, for such a large project, the process flow brought by BASF is the most advanced in the world. There is currently no domestic scale. In addition, the scale is so large, the Environmental Protection Bureau has no experience to learn from and has no confidence in mind. So they just proposed to meet environmental protection requirements from the strictest and most demanding conditions to prevent environmental protection accidents. However, the project has not yet entered the formal construction stage. The multiple requirements put forward by the province are a bit unacceptable to BASF and Sinopec. I think that our Anyuan is deliberately controlling them, so I think this issue can be viewed in two."

Lu Weihong said it very strategically, and did not deny the opinions of the province, but he also tactfully defended BASF and Sinopec.

"The requirements put forward by the province are of course good, but we must combine the actual situation and write the basic requirements into the agreement first, that is, for some controversial terms, we can consider gradually solving them during construction. I think they are building on our Anyuan site after all, and are supervised by our administrative functional departments. These issues can be completely resolved through negotiation. It is not a good idea to drag on this."

Ling Zhengyue took a deep breath and waved his hand, "I understand. I will discuss this matter with Governor Zhao. Wei Hong, the province has advantages in higher requirements on environmental protection issues. After all, if a problem occurs in such a large chemical project, it will be a huge disaster. So being cautious on this issue will only have the benefits but no harm."

"That's, that's, just..." Lu Weihong nodded repeatedly.

"Don't be impatient, and don't be scared by the people of Sinopec. Do you think it's so easy for them to change places, and the Germans will agree? Foreigners are much more cautious than our domestic companies before investing. Are all the work done in the early stage invalidated? Humph, these guys can only be in a nest and really want to go abroad, humh..." Ling Zhengyue didn't say anything further.

"Secretary Ling, then we..." Lu Weihong was a little anxious. Why did the boss's tone change a little?

"Hastyness means not being able to achieve, good things are not busy. Wei Hong, being a municipal party secretary, must have some cleverness and mind." Ling Zhengyue glared at the other party, "Okay, you go first, I will consider this matter."

After hearing Ling Zhengyue's words, Lu Weihong was helpless, but he also thought that Boss Ling had not changed his mind, but had to consider how to handle this matter safely. After all, this involves the provincial government, and the approval authority is on the provincial government rather than the provincial party committee. Even if the provincial party committee wants to interfere, it must pass necessary procedures and strategies.

As long as there is a clear statement about this matter, that's fine. As for how Boss Ling and Zhao Guodong negotiate and communicate, it's not something he can ask about.

Chen Yinglu was also surprised by Ling Zhengyue's initiative to convene the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee to study the recent economic work in the province, but he quickly realized that it was either the Pipaxi Science and Technology Corridor or the Tongcheng Petrochemical Project issue was about to showdown.

Zhao Guodong was very dissatisfied with the matter of Pipaxi Science and Technology Corridor. He believed that the provincial party committee had delayed convening a standing committee to study and determined that it would delay the construction of the science and technology Corridor in Mianzhou. Ling Zhengyue was also very dissatisfied with the provincial government's excessive caution in Tongcheng Petrochemical Project. He believed that Zhao Guodong was scaring people with the big hat of environmental protection involving people's livelihood issues. Chen Yinglu felt that Ling Zhengyue even had some doubts about whether Zhao Guodong was worried that Tongcheng would overwhelm the limelight after the development of this project would lead to Ningling's popularity, so he was so "hard" but Chen Yinglu felt that Zhao Guodong should not be such a person.

Chen Yinglu was also a little surprised that Zhao Guodong's view seemed to have changed a lot compared to when he was working in Huaiqing, and even compared with when he was working in Ningling. There was a significant adjustment from paying attention to economic development to paying attention to social and people's livelihood issues. Is this the mentality change after the local and department-level cadres entered the ministerial-level cadres' sequence, or the change of ideas?
