A few days later, Feng Yu received a call from Zong Qingxian again.
"Old Zong, have you chosen the address for the factory? Which production factory is close to us?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
This factory must be near an industrial park to facilitate the transportation of materials, so there are not many places to choose from.
"Mr. Feng, it's a bit troublesome." Zong Qingxian sighed and said: "We have inspected several places, and they are actually quite suitable. The transportation is good, and it is close to our electronics factory, which is convenient for management, and the local government is very good. We have dealt with it many times and are familiar with it. But we never expected that it would be boycotted by local residents!"
"Residents resist? Why? We go to them to build factories and provide them with more jobs, and most of them require machinery and other operations, not heavy manual labor. They should welcome it, right?"
They should be happy to be able to work in a relatively relaxed factory and not have to dig in the soil for food. Wouldn’t they rather be farmers than workers? The wages in factories owned by Taihua Holdings are not low.
"We're not worried about heavy work or salary. Our Taihua Holdings brand is here. Many of them are happy to work in our factory, but they are worried about environmental pollution."
"Didn't I explain it to you? Didn't you also find relevant experts to prove that what we bought at a high price is the internationally advanced electronic waste recycling and processing technology? And it combines the most advanced technologies from many countries. Our emission standards will not cause any harm to the human body, but you didn’t explain it to the locals?”
Feng Yu had a headache. He knew that everyone would be worried about this, but he had considered it and had done the most appropriate thing.
"I believe it, experts believe it, but local residents don't believe it. In the places we visited, many people went out to work, especially in coastal provinces such as southern Guangdong, where there are more factories."
"There are people in these places who have been engaged in electronic waste disposal or other garbage disposal jobs. They all got sick and their bodies collapsed. Now they will never engage in this industry unless they are about to starve to death. As soon as I heard that we were going to build this kind of factory in their hometown, they almost blocked the road under my wheels!"
Zong Qingxian also had a headache. He even said it, but others didn't believe it. No one believes what the experts or local politicians say.
They just believe what they see with their eyes and what people around them say. As for what businessmen and leaders say, they must all be lies.
Businessmen are just for money, political leaders are just for political achievements!
"Mr. Feng, if I hadn't asked our people to leave immediately, I'm afraid this matter would have been reported by the media. For this, we also spent some money to appease some reporters."
Feng Yu is a little angry. We haven't done anything wrong, but we are afraid that the media will process it and turn something white into something black, so that you can't defend yourself.
If you sue them and ask the local government to arrest them, then they will say that big companies spend money to bribe local governments to crack down on and persecute reporters like them who tell the truth, thus erasing the public's right to know.
If those reporters start to act violently, they will be much scarier than shrews.
The most helpless thing is that reporters now use online media, which has poor supervision and fast dissemination. In particular, most of the Internet users are young people. Many people just follow the wind and believe the reports on the Internet.
Some people randomly choose the name of a unit and make up an article at random, and countless people take it as the truth. Many people do not have poor discernment ability, but are unwilling to discern, so they are willing to believe these false reports.
When reason and emotion collide, many people will choose emotion over reason.
"Is there nothing you can do? Have you revealed your identity?" Feng Yu asked.
With Zong Qingxian's reputation, don't those people still believe it? Zong Qingxian's image is very good.
"Why didn't I show my identity? We have contributed a lot to the local economic construction, right? We invest in building factories, but how can we also build roads for the local people? We are the only ones, right?"
"Our local factory has the highest salary among local companies. There are also local hospitals, schools, etc., where are they without funding from our Taihua Holdings?"
"They actually say that we are black-hearted capitalists, that we don't care about the life and death of the people and only care about making money. This is totally different!"
When he said this, Zong Qingxian was still a little angry. Having done so much for the local area, yet to be criticized like this, no one would be happy.
"Old Sect, don't be angry with them. They are also frightened, which is human nature. But there must be someone instigating it, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that all the inspection sites would boycott us at the same time, right?"
Anyway, Feng Yu felt that if someone happens to stand up for all the inspection sites and make unceremonious accusations without any investigation, there must be something wrong.
"I don't think it's such a coincidence, but these local government officials have investigated and found nothing wrong with the leader. Our company also asked in person, but the other party just killed him and polluted the environment, which is absolutely not allowed. Even our company even asked There was a man who was scolded for annihilating his descendants and almost lost his temper."
Tsk~~
Feng Yu chewed his teeth and didn't know what to do. This is a conceptual shackles that is difficult to break in a short period of time. But if factories are not allowed to be built in these places, then what should we do if we encounter the same situation, not to mention wasting time by visiting other places
"Then what are you going to do? Do you have any plans to visit other places?"
"We did some research and thought there was a place that might be suitable and could make some contributions," Zong Qingxian said.
"where?"
"xx city in southern Guangdong."
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew this place. Isn't it the earliest and most centralized place for e-waste processing in China
It would be appropriate if this factory was built here. Many companies are already used to transporting electronic waste there. But there is also a problem. This place has just been named by an international environmental organization, and the country is about to take action.
"If it is placed there, is there any problem with the procedures? Can such enterprises still be approved there?" Feng Yu asked worriedly.
"Actually, I think there is another way, and that is to ask the higher authorities to speak out and prove that this factory is absolutely pollution-free. The country's credibility should still be acceptable, right?" Zong Qingxian said.
If this e-waste treatment plant is too far away from their electronics factory, the separated materials will still have to be transported over long distances twice, which is not cost-effective.
Only then did Feng Yu understand what Zong Qing meant by calling him first, asking Feng Yu to think of a solution.
"Okay, I'll talk to the top."
