During this period, another major event occurred in the country, that is, opposition to the construction of factories reappeared in many places, and the scale was much larger than when Feng Yu and others built an electronic waste recycling and processing plant.
This incident involved millions of people, and the cause was a chemical raw material called paraxylene.
This is a widely used chemical raw material that can be extracted from petroleum and coal tar. It is slightly more toxic than ethanol. If a normal human body ingests a certain amount, it will be excreted through human excretion, such as urine, breathing, etc. .
The hazard rating of this product is the same as that of diethyl ether internationally.
The cause of this incident is that a certain Chinese state-owned oil company wants to invest in building a factory to produce this raw material, because this is a chemical raw material that is extremely widely used, and the demand will be increasing in the future.
In the past, everything used in our country was imported from abroad, which cost a high price. But since we have the production technology, it is of course more cost-effective to produce it ourselves.
But I don’t know who has heard that this is very harmful to the human body, and there are leaks and so on. Then all the places that were previously invested in building factories were surrounded by people to protest against it.
They claim that they are not allowed to build a factory here because it is extremely poisonous.
This is someone with good intentions who is deliberately tampering with the concept. Who benefits? Those big countries that produce paraxylene.
For example, the United States, South Korea, Nanyang, etc.
Those countries, why do they dare to build factories in their own countries and produce in large quantities? Obviously, this can be controlled.
To put it bluntly, many people have been deceived, especially some local people who follow what others say. They would rather believe that this kind of harm theory exists than that it does not exist.
And who was the first person in China to say that paraxylene is very toxic? The U.S. Ambassador to China is a banana man.
Even though he has a Chinese face, deep down he never thinks of himself as Chinese, only as an American!
What they hope most is that China's industrialization process will be blocked, and then it will slowly become an agricultural country again, with everything restricted by them.
Everyone knows that the added value of industry is much higher than that of agriculture.
They just want this concept of environmental protection to limit China's industrial development and distance the industrialization strength of the two sides.
How terrifying an industrial power is can be seen from the former Soviet Union.
Even if the economy of the former Soviet Union collapsed, no one would dare to provoke it, because their strong industrial strength allowed them to not be afraid of any country or any war!
No one wants to fight, but if you want peace, you must first have the strength not to be bullied by others!
Once China suspends its industrialization development, it will once again become a factory for developed countries like other underdeveloped countries, and those heavily polluting enterprises will return to China again.
Therefore, by constantly developing and improving our own technology, we can continuously reduce pollution.
Just talking about cars, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers used to be dozens of liters, but what about now? How much progress has been made and how much exhaust emissions have been reduced
If it stops developing, will cars disappear? There will definitely still be high-fuel consumption cars running rampant, and pollution will be even more serious.
To put it simply, the earliest power generation in China was thermal power, and then came hydropower, wind power, etc., and then nuclear power, which has the best economic benefits and environmental protection.
Isn’t the country now gradually shutting down thermal power plants? Replace it with hydropower, wind power and nuclear power.
One is to save resources, and the other is more environmentally friendly and economical.
Some people also say that saving resources is actually a paradox. Because the more we think about saving, the more we consume.
For example, scientific research consumes a lot of resources, and after successful scientific research is transformed into product promotion, even more resources will be consumed.
Let’s take cars as an example. Although emissions were more than ten times what they are now, the number of cars in existence is only a few tenths of what it is today.
But people’s lives cannot be separated from these. Who wants to go back to a time without cars? Do you ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day, or ride a bullock cart or horse-drawn carriage
Although resource consumption is greater now, environmental pollution is actually much smaller than before. It is said that those chimneys no longer emit those thick black smoke columns, and the sewage discharged no longer kills the fish and shrimp in the river.
Development is the fundamental way to solve pollution. With the continuous improvement of technology, the continuous reduction of pollution and the continuous treatment, the environment will get better and better.
Just like people once said that the world's population will increase, but when the economy develops to a certain level, especially in many developed countries, the population will grow negatively.
Even China, a super-populated country, had a negative population growth before Feng Yu was reborn. The country was even formulating a two-child policy to stimulate population fertility.
Energy consumption is large, but stimulated by scientific and technological progress, various clean new energy sources will continue to be discovered. With careful planning, you can embark on a sustainable development path.
From his past life experience, Feng Yu knew that China would become better and better. More and more heavily polluting enterprises would be moved out of China, and the environment would be continuously improved.
Moreover, he had never heard of any paraxylene contamination in his previous life. This was simply a rumor!
Poor people who don't know the truth, who don't know what paraxylene is at all, think in their hearts that it is a highly poisonous substance! I even went to Qiandu to change the definition of the term because I thought it was wrong.
To put it simply, they are being used without even realizing it.
In fact, the most fundamental problem is that China is not developed enough and the education level is not high enough. Many people have low discernment ability and are easily deceived.
Feng Yu picked up the phone and called Zhang Ruiqiang: "Old Zhang, I heard that the paraxylene incident has caused a lot of fuss recently?"
Zhang Ruiqiang sighed: "Oh, that's not true. You said that so many people at Huaqing University conducted experiments, and even students and teachers voluntarily used the data obtained from their own experiments. Those people didn't believe it, so they were willing to believe those Rumors.”
"Lao Zhang, you are right, they are willing to believe those rumors. So at this time, they need someone they can trust to stand up and make them willing to believe in the country."
"I know that paraxylene is very important to the development of the country. It is a raw material that will be in great demand in the future and cannot be controlled by others."
"So our Taihua Holding Group can help with this matter. If the superiors agree, we, the Taihua Holding Group, can take a stake in this factory. With our credibility in environmental protection, the people of the Taihua Holding Group should be able to believe that our products It won’t pollute the environment!”
Zhang Ruiqiang was delighted: "Feng Yu, are you willing to invest? Okay, great. I will report this matter to the superiors and I will give you an answer tomorrow, no, tonight. You have been a big help!"
