Chapter 1631: Handling It With Ease

ink with the people from town and there wasn't anything substantial that happened. 。After dinner, Song Guoming was also sent home by a special car, and the others dispersed. 。There were no special fin..."Secretary Du's instructions are very appropriate " 。"Effective measures are the good ones," Xiao Jingyu continued. 。As for the 'long-term development' of Changxian battery industry, although we only have one direction at present, we believe that there are always more ways than difficulties. 。And our direction is clear, that is the 'green energy industry'. How to go about it We will work hard to come up with a plan and develop a strategy!

Now, the true situation has been made clear. It’s not a city-level issue, but rather an individual problem of the county party secretary Lei Tianyong and the county magistrate Che Xiao, two key leadership figures at the county level! Xiao Jingyu understands Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Du Longfei very well. He pulled in Feng Qianfan, former secretary of Yuanchang County Party Committee, to conduct a surprise investigation today. There is no doubt that this was originally intended to hold Xiao Jingyu accountable!

However, with Zhang Hongyi providing the recording, Du Longfei’s plan has backfired. 。From now on, what Du Longfei says or accuses doesn't really matter, so Xiao Jingyu just follows along with him. 。As for the "long-term considerations" of the battery industry, it's true that we need to plan carefully. The direction of the "green energy industry" is not wrong, but the specific measures still need to be carefully considered and not decided on a whim!

Therefore, Xiao Jingyu was relatively conservative in his statement. 。Du Longfei said: "I think you shouldn't just talk about 'schemes' and 'plans'! The first thing to consider is whether this battery industry should even be developed! This industry has caused lead poisoning and poses such a large environmental hazard. I think we shouldn't develop it at all." 。"Director Feng, what do you think"

At this, everyone was startled. 。Feng Qianfan was also quite conflicted: "This..." He couldn't make up his mind. After all, this industry had flourished during his tenure. If he were to cut it off now, it would be a loss both in terms of benefits and relationships; however, could the pollution problem in this industry really be solved Honestly, that was also a big question mark. 。For this reason, Feng Qianfan found it difficult to answer Du Longfei's question. 。As for Du Longfei, whether it was Chang County or Jingzhou, he had no feelings. "Cutting" or "keeping" were just a matter of words to him. 。At this point, Feng Qianfan couldn't do it. His feelings for Chang County kept him from detaching himself. He could only say again, "Secretary Xiao, regarding the development of this industry, your municipal Party committee and government, as well as the county Party committee and government, need to carefully study and consider it!"

"We definitely won't simply cut off this industry!" Xiao Jingyu said, "Firstly, the battery industry is one of Chang County's three pillar industries, with nearly 10,000 employees..." 。This knife cut, for the Party and government, is naturally shedding a burden of environmental protection. 。But the Party and government are comfortable. What about the bosses and the working people who run businesses This is a problem we must consider. 。

Secondly, is there still room for improvement in the environmental performance of the battery industry Currently, our domestic battery industry has transitioned from its previous state of being small-scale and decentralized to a more industrialized model since the end of last century. However, the recent lead poisoning incident highlights several issues: corporate illegal emissions, outdated equipment, and insufficient regulatory oversight by local government departments. 。Therefore, there is still much room for improvement in pollution prevention!

Furthermore, the battery industry can shift from low-end to high-end. 。Our Chang County battery industry primarily focuses on lead-acid batteries, with a small percentage of lithium batteries and more advanced types. We mainly supply small energy storage batteries for electric bicycles. In the future, we can expand to provide batteries for new industries like electric vehicles. Currently, our business model relies on low profit margins and high volume. We aim to shift towards higher added value and quality-first approach. 。We believe these transformations are very possible!

Therefore, the battery industry has not reached a point of being completely cut off. Perhaps through transformation, it can usher in new opportunities and vitality!

Hearing this, Feng Qianfan, former deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, also became excited: "Secretary Xiao, the three points you mentioned are very reasonable. They are more optimistic than I am and more specific than I thought. It is indeed that the younger generation replaces the older! Although I see the battery industry flourishing with a mix of good and bad, I can't see its future, let alone come up with a feasible transformation direction. " 。But, after hearing Secretary Xiao's words just now, I suddenly feel there is still a lot of hope! It wasn't easy for this industry to develop from nothing to what it is today, providing over 10,000 jobs. 。We can't just go and destroy the entire industry on a whim, leaving nothing but chaos. That wouldn't be responsible to either businesses or the people. The Party and the government must still plan well, guide well, and help enterprises embark on a green and sustainable development path. That's the only realistic approach!Feng Qianfan's words came entirely from his heart after hearing Xiao Jingyu's speech. He was moved. 。However, to Du Longfei's ears, it was quite jarring. Feng Qianfan's remarks about "smacking one's head and wiping out the entire industry" and "this is not a responsible attitude towards enterprises and the common people" seemed to be directly targeting what Du Longfei had said before! Du Fushou felt a surge of anger in his heart, thinking to himself, "This Feng Qianfan is truly senile!" At this juncture, Xiao Jingyu added, "Director Feng, you are too kind! We know that you have deep feelings for Chang County, otherwise you wouldn't have traveled so far today." 。So, the industries that have developed in your hands, we still need to inherit well, transform well, and carry forward well, so that more ordinary people can benefit. 。I hope that in ten or twenty years, when you come back to Chang County, you will see that the industries here are still thriving and the mountains even greener. 。"Feng Qianfan felt that Xiao Jingyu spoke very well, her mood was agitated, and she didn't care about Du Longfei's attitude. She only said: "Very good, very good, Secretary Xiao, when you say that, I feel relieved." 。。Du Longfei saw that it was impossible to hold Xiao Jingyu accountable today, so Du Longfei didn't want to waste any more time here. He said, "After listening to everyone's reports today, Director Feng also shared his thoughts" 。We believe that the Jingzhou Municipal Committee and Municipal Government acted swiftly and effectively in handling the lead poisoning incident. 。After I return, I will immediately report to the main leaders of the provincial committee and provincial government. 。As for the next steps in terms of regulation and improvement of the battery industry, the Jingzhou Municipal Committee and municipal government need to expedite research. 。I also learned that Comrade Xiao Jingyu is currently studying at the Huajing Party School. During this time, he has applied for a research topic titled "Breaking through the Financial Crisis in Local Economies with 'Green Economy'". 。This subject research group will arrive in Jiangzhong tomorrow afternoon. 。Originally, this was a good thing for both Jiangzhong and Jingzhou. 。Now, with such a serious case of blood lead poisoning happening in Jingzhou, is it still worthwhile to conduct this research project If we do proceed, should Jingzhou still serve as the model I think these are all points worth considering! I hope Comrade Xiao Jingyu can give this some serious thought and report back to the research team, and also make a report to Secretary Ye. 。I personally don't recommend continuing this project in Jingzhou. 。Unbeknownst to him, Du Longfei was still preoccupied with his project! Xiao Jingyu thought to himself, Du Longfei couldn't hold him accountable, and now he wanted to sabotage his research project! Xiao Jingyu didn't want to argue with Du Longfei. He simply agreed with a "yes" and then suggested: "Secretary Du, Director Feng, and all the leaders from our provincial department, why don't you stay here today We can arrange rooms for you in the county town" 。"Du Longfei immediately said: 'There's no need. I and Director Feng still need to report the situation to Secretary Ye and Governor Zhang.'" 。We'll be going back now. 。"Saying that, Du Longfei stood up directly. Feng Qianfan didn't want to leave so soon. " 。After all, he hasn't been back to Changxian for over a decade. This time, he managed to come back and wanted to stay for a few more days. He also hoped to catch up with his former colleagues and neighbors. 。However, Du Longfei said he would be back soon and that he would go with him to report to Secretary Ye and Governor Zhang. There was no reason for him to stay. 。Besides, Chang County is arranging a full-staff blood test today, and both of the county's top leaders have made mistakes. They definitely won't be in the mood to accompany him. 。So, Feng Qianfan could only say: "Yes, we still have tasks to do today, so we'll be going back now." 。Following suit, other department heads also stood up and walked out of the conference room along with Du Longfei and Feng Qianfan. 。Xiao Jingyu, Gao Chenghan and other city and county leaders sent them off. 。Upon reaching the courtyard of the town government, from the direction of the canteen, the village secretary and villagers had already eaten their fill and were walking towards this side with a slight stagger. Upon seeing Feng Qianfan, they came over again to chat about everyday affairs. 。iao just arrived and can still familiarize himself with the work. After entering a normal working state, he will have a lot on his plate every day and probably won't have time to spare. 。"Zhao Rongxin...
