Guan Yuntian has always kept a low profile and has been unwilling to appear in the media. He keeps a proper distance from politicians. However, he is enthusiastic about local construction. Not only did he independently fund the construction of more than 20 kilometers of rural roads leading to his hometown, he also participated in the June 7th Movement.

Years ago, he actively responded to the call of the county government and invested huge sums of money at the risk, allowing Changda Group to undertake the agricultural poverty alleviation and development project in the northern mountainous area. Therefore, Guan Yuntian left a good impression on most members of the previous county government team.

, and also have certain personal contacts with individual leaders.

However, in recent years, because Changda Group has been busy upgrading its industry and entering the real estate market in provincial capitals, Guan Yuntian has no energy to pay attention to local affairs. Even when the county leadership team changed and the new county leaders took office, he was ignored

He is not familiar with the current team members, and the new team members do not know him either.

Director Jia of the county government office was brought from other places by the new county magistrate. He was appointed to take charge of mineral mining in the northern mountainous area. Director Jia had been in office for more than a year. After all, Changda Group was the leading large enterprise in the area. Of course Lao Jia listened.

I have mentioned Guan Yuntian, but he and Guan Yuntian have never met, and they are still strangers to each other.

Guan Yuntian was originally opposed to the mining of mineral deposits. After hearing Lao Jia's nonchalant words, his resistance became even greater, "Director Jia, if you want to start mining in the northern mountainous area, just telling us is not enough. It seems that you should ask for permission.

Does Changda Group agree?"

"You have already said that the underground mineral deposits are not yours, so why do you need to ask for your consent?" Lao Jia did not expect Guan Yuntian to say such a thing.

"If I had the final say on everything, things would be simple. Director Jia, I said that the underground mineral deposits are not ours. That is only one side of the truth. The other side of the truth is that all the mountains in the northern mountainous areas are

Changda Group contracted from the villagers, and with the approval of the county leaders at the time, we had a contract with the villagers," said Guan Yuntian.

"However, what is being mined is underground mineral deposits, so what does it have to do with the mountainous areas contracted by you?" Director Jia may have a purely secretarial background and knows nothing about the industrial production process.

"Director Jia, is mining such a simple matter? If it has nothing to do with us, it's superfluous for you to say hello to me. The key is that mining not only destroys the surface of the earth, but also takes up a lot of land!" Guan Yuntian said angrily.

"But the matter has been settled. Now it has entered the preparatory stage. I am the leader of the preparatory team. What do you think we should do?" Lao Jia was obviously deliberately provoking.

"What you do has nothing to do with me. I happened to be on the phone today and I want to express my position on behalf of the Changda Group, that is, we are opposed to mining mineral resources in the northern mountainous area!"

"This is a government action. As a business owner, you have no right to make irresponsible remarks on this!"

"What's wrong with businesses? We are taxpayers. Based on this, no one can deprive us of our right to speak!"

The attitudes of both parties were very tough, and the first phone call ended on bad terms.

After getting off the expressway, the driver, Master Wang, drove straight to the National Development and Reform Commission. Guan Yuntian had a phone call with Director Wei last night and told Wei in advance that he would be visiting today.

Pushing the door open and entering Director Wei's office, Old Wei was handling official duties. Seeing Guan Yuntian's arrival, she greeted: "Sit down first and drink the water yourself. I'll finish this and then talk about your business."

Guan Yuntian picked up a paper cup, took a glass of water from the water dispenser, and sat on the single sofa to wait. About ten minutes later, Old Wei closed the document in front of him, raised his head and asked, "What happened there?"

Guan Yuntian explained the county government's decision to open a mine in the northern mountainous area, "I just learned about it. It is said that the county has set up a preparatory group."

"Why are you paying attention to this matter?" Old Wei still didn't know Guan Yuntian's intention.

"Because the mining site is located in the agricultural poverty alleviation project invested and developed by Changda Group, if it is officially implemented, it will cause huge losses to the agricultural project that we have spent a lot of effort on!"

"What do you want to do? What is the purpose of looking for me?"

"I want to stop this, Director Wei, can you help me think of a way, even if you give me some suggestions or ideas." Guan Yuntian and Lao Wei are not outsiders, so he said bluntly.

"Even though we are a provincial agency, we are a functional department. We have no right to interfere with the actions of local governments. If you want to stop this..." Lao Wei didn't finish his words. After two seconds,

After three minutes, she continued: "It is not impossible to stop it, but we cannot use suppression or administrative intervention."

"Director Wei, what do you think we should do?" Guan Yuntian saw hope.

"To prevent this, we can only start from the level of relevant policies."

"Can you be more specific?"

"You know that mining requires a license, right? The current policy is very strict in this regard. In addition, mining is a high-risk industry, and mineral processing will produce a large amount of wastewater. I think we can attack from these three aspects." Lao Wei is the planning director.

He has a thorough understanding of the policies.

"Yes, these documents are indispensable. The problem is that the county government takes the lead in this matter. They can use administrative orders to force local functional departments to handle it. I'm afraid these documents will not be a problem for them." Guan Yuntian

road.

"The county government is responsible for their one-third of an acre. If it is beyond the scope of jurisdiction, who will listen to them? Didn't I say that mining is now subject to very strict policy control, and all procedures are required by county and city-level functional departments

None of them have the authority to handle it. They have all been sent to provincial agencies, and their administrative orders have no effect."

"Director Wei, you mean to ask the provincial-level functional departments to block them at relevant links and not issue them licenses and other documents?"

"This is the only way to do it, and I think this method should work." Director Wei said.

"But...," Guan Yuntian paused, "Director Wei, I only know you from the provincial functional departments. I only know you in other departments. I don't know anyone. How can I express this to them?"

Woolen cloth?"

Old Wei thought for a while, "How about this? Let me contact the environmental protection and safety supervision department for you. The mining license should be under the control of the land and resources department. Find the consultant Lao Cao hired by your office in the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau and ask him to help

You think of a way."

Guan Yuntian agreed with Lao Wei's suggestion, "Director Wei, I'm sorry to bother you! If you need my help here, please call me at any time."

When he came out of Lao Wei's office, it was only about ten in the morning. The time was still early. Guan Yuntian used his mobile phone to dial the number of Deputy Director Cao of the Provincial Land and Resources Bureau. "Hello, Director Cao! I am Guan Yuntian."

"Hello, Mr. Guan! What can I do for you?"

"Director Cao, is it convenient for you now? I want to go to your office. I have something to discuss with you."

"It's convenient, can you come over now?"

"Yes, I'll be there in a minute."

More than 20 minutes later, Guan Yuntian came to Lao Cao's office and said, "I didn't make an appointment with you in advance, so I interrupted you all of a sudden.

Sorry!" Guan Yuntian said.

Lao Cao stood up and invited the guests to sit down, then poured a glass of water and put it in front of Guan Yuntian, "Mr. Guan is too polite. In our relationship, do we still need to make an appointment?" He pulled up a chair and sat across from Guan Yuntian, "Uh, just now

On the phone, you said you wanted to interview me about something, what was it?"

"Bureau Cao, do you have any acquaintances in the provincial department? Especially people related to license issuance." Guan Yuntian said.

"The provincial department... I have some acquaintances, but does it have anything to do with the issuance of licenses? I really don't know what kind of work that friend is currently in charge of. What kind of licenses are you referring to?"

"Mining licenses are under the control of the land and resources department, right?"

"Yes, all resource-related licenses are under the control of our department. Please wait a moment, I will call and ask."

Back at his desk, Lao Cao dialed his friend's phone number. Because he didn't understand Guan Yuntian's intentions, he couldn't explain it clearly to his friend on the phone. He only knew that his friend was now the deputy director of the General Affairs Department.

, "If you have time, you'd better come to my place."

After a while, a middle-aged man about the same age as Lao Cao pushed in the door. Lao Cao immediately introduced: "This is my best friend Mr. Guan, and this is Director Feng of the Provincial Department of General Affairs."

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Director Feng asked: "What kind of license does Mr. Guan need to apply for?"

Guan Yuntian smiled, "It's not that I want to apply for a license, but I want to prevent others from applying for a mining license."

Lao Cao and his friends suddenly realized, "Oh, Mr. Guan wants to prevent others from applying for permits. Is there any reason behind this?"

Guan Yuntian explained the general situation, "Facing the actions of local governments, perhaps this is the only way to stop them."

"Mr. Guan, the current policy on the mining industry is very strict. If it is a corporate behavior, you don't need to stop it. The license will most likely not be issued. However, if the local county government wants to handle this matter, the situation may be

It’s slightly different.” Director Feng said.

"Oh, it's all mining. Do enterprises and local governments have to treat it differently?" Guan Yuntian found it difficult to understand.

"On the surface, there shouldn't be any difference. No matter who it is, the policies are now very strict. However, don't underestimate the ability of local governments. As long as they make up their mind to do something, they will often do something unexpected.

, I’ve seen it many times over the years.”

"According to what you said, it seems like this trick can't stop them?"

"Not necessarily, I mean it is possible. Under normal circumstances, I think it is difficult for them to obtain a license, especially for small mines with small reserves and small scale, and the policies are stricter."

The director said.

"In order to make it more difficult for them to obtain licenses, Director Feng, do you think it is necessary to do more work on the agency in charge of licenses in your department?" Guan Yuntian said.

"Do your job...," Lao Feng thought for a while, "otherwise, in some name, you can write a report letter to the Department of Land and Resources about mining damage to the environment, and then ask the relevant personnel of the office to eat it.

Just a meal is enough.”

"Isn't this a little too simplistic?"

"Mr. Guan, the local government's behavior is not in compliance with policy regulations, and there are reports from the masses. I think this is enough."
