"Do you know, what base is there in Taogang? It's a toxic factory!"

"You are talking about the extreme manufacturing base? It's a machinery factory, not a chemical factory. What kind of poison can it be?"

"The machinery factory is not poisonous? I have seen them transport chemical raw materials to the factory, and pull them with a large tanker truck, with skulls painted on it."

"That seems to be a raw material for pickling, right? Many factories in our Hoi'an use these."

"But they use it a lot. I saw a top-secret document saying that it was because of the construction of this base. In the past ten years, the incidence of more than a dozen chronic diseases in Hoi'an has increased by more than 40%. Isn't this exchanging our lives for the government's GDP?"

"How did you see the top secret information?"

"My uncle's brother-in-law's second aunt has a classmate who has a child from a senior confidentiality unit in the state. When he came back, he secretly told his family..."

Since when, a number of rumors related to the Extreme Manufacturing Base began to circulate in the streets and alleys of Hoi'an. The messengers all said it with confidence, as if they had seen something with their own eyes. There were also many unveiled posts on the local Internet forum "Hoi'an Hotline". Some were insinuated and said something about the Wuji Country. In fact, everyone could tell that it was about the local area of ​​Hoi'an. Some were even more direct, saying that the extreme manufacturing base was like this. The conclusion was often that if this base was not moved away, the people of Hoi'an would be unable to escape the disaster.

With the online public opinion, traditional media can still be idle. First, local media, then Haidong Province media, and finally media from all over the country, all rushed to Hoi'an. As soon as Gu Shijian went to work, dozens of reporters were blocked from the office building, among which the cameras in the hands of the photographer looked like gun barrels, and they looked extremely professional. This is not to say that the base guards were not dedicated. These reporters came to interview with formal reporters, and the guards could not stop them.

"Director Gu, there is a rumor at present. Can you please confirm it..."

"Director Gu, I just saw an oil tanker transporting toxic liquid entering the base outside the base gate. What is the name of this toxic liquid and what damage will it cause to humans and other organisms?"

"Director Gu, can you explain to us from a theoretical perspective whether the lives and health of the people are important or GDP is important?"

"Director Gu, why did such an enterprise that harms the country and the people be built in Hoi'an, rather than in the capital?"

The reporters' questions were sharper than the other. The recording microphone was just about to hit Gu Shijian's mouth. The flashes came one after another, making Gu Shijian feel like he was going through the tribulation.

"Dear reporters, please be quiet." Gu Shijian shouted desperately, suppressing everyone's voice, and then said: "The base's public relations department has noticed the rumors about the Extreme Manufacturing Base on the Internet. We can responsibly say that the statement that the production activities of the Extreme Manufacturing Base have had an environmental impact on the local area of ​​Hoi An is completely untrue. Since its construction, the Extreme Manufacturing Base has implemented the concept of environmental protection, and our production activities have no negative impact on the surrounding environment."

"Is that?" A reporter from the south said coldly: "Director Gu, if you have no problem with your ears, you should be able to hear a lot of noise in your base now, right?"

"This is our 10,000-ton hydraulic press that is performing forging operations," said Gu Shijian.

"Director Gu means, isn't noise pollution considered pollution?"

"This..." Gu Shijian was choked all of a sudden. Of course, noise is also a kind of pollution. Gu Shijian dare not deny this, otherwise he would publish a manuscript saying that the director said that noise is not pollution, and he would become known as "Noise Brother" in the future. But the problem is that what he said has no negative impact, which refers to the toxic gas, liquid, etc. mentioned online, which is completely different from noise.

How could that reporter not know Gu Shijian’s original intention? But the reporter just wanted to seize the flaws in the other party’s words, catch the other party off guard, and then take advantage of the other party’s panic to find more flaws and thus expose a big piece of information.

Inspired by the reporter above, another reporter also made a break, pointed to a large flatbed car that was pulling a large heat exchanger toward the base, and asked Gu Shijian: "Director Gu, that big car over there is also the car from your base, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Gu Shijian asked in a daze.

"I noticed that this car emits a very thick exhaust. Is this considered pollution?"

"Exhaust gas..." Gu Shijian even cried. Damn, you breathe air and pollute the environment, why don't you tell me? There are more than 100,000 motor vehicles in the Plenary Hokkaido, and it's illegal to discharge some exhaust gas in our cars?

"Dear journalists, I admit that we do have some noise pollution, but the main impact is a very small range around the factory area. As for the exhaust pollution mentioned by this journalist friend just now, this is inevitable. All companies have to transport it, and there will inevitably be exhaust pollution in transportation. This is not like this, our extreme manufacturing base." Gu Shijian could only change his words.

"But, Director Gu just said that your production has no negative impact on the surrounding environment. How do you explain this?"

"I'm not speaking rigorously enough, I apologize."

"So the rumors on the Internet just now are completely untrue, isn't they not rigorous enough?"

"Well..." Gu Shijian thought for a while and said, "Some of our criticisms online, such as some of our vehicles that transport large parts, have an impact on the traffic in Hoi An. This does exist. We will try our best to improve it in our future work. But when it comes to the production of our company, it will emit toxic substances and affect the lives and health of the people in Hoi An, I think this statement is not true."

"Are you sure your production will not emit any toxic substances?"

"Of course not..." Gu Shijian said with a bitter face, "No enterprise's production cannot achieve zero emissions. For example, when we do heat treatment, we will use some heat treatment liquids, some of which are toxic. We have very advanced toxic gas recovery facilities, which can recycle 99.9% of toxic gases. If you don't emit any of them, it is definitely not accurate, but the emission is only 0.1%. After being diluted by air, it is basically harmless to the human body."

So tired... Gu Shijian sighed in his heart. The other party was deliberately looking for trouble. Anything that he was not rigorous would be pulled by others, so he could only say it carefully as much as possible. But once he was thorough, it seemed that there were flaws everywhere, and the toxic gas recycling was only 0.1%, and it was not considered highly toxic, and it was not even more toxic than the oil smoke used by residents at home. But do you dare to say it is completely non-toxic? As long as you admit that there is still a little toxicity, people will say that you admit that you emit toxic gas, and then you will make this matter very hot and make it impossible for you to come down from Taiwan.

Alas, why did I fight to be this director? How happy it would be to stay in the company and let Mr. Feng, who has great powers, be protected by him. Mr. Feng, come and save me!

Feng Xiaochen is not the summoning beast raised by Gu Shijian. It is impossible for him to shout in his heart, and Feng Xiaochen appears. However, the base office still has some experience in dealing with such things. Office director Yang Yuan came out of the office building, blocked Gu Shijian's face, and shouted to the reporters:

"Dear reporters and friends, a very important phone call has been received in Beijing. Director Gu needs to answer it. Please do not stop Director Gu. We will quickly clarify some rumors about the extreme manufacturing base on the Internet in the near future. Reporter who need clarification, please come to me to register the information and provide your email address. We will send you an electronic version of the clarification announcement as soon as possible."

The leader has an important phone number. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the reporters will not be able to continue to bother with it. Otherwise, they can say that you are disturbing official duties. This is a saying that you are reasonable wherever you go. Gu Shijian escaped back to the office, grabbed the phone without hesitation, and dialed Feng Xiaochen's number in the capital:

"Mr. Feng? I am Gu Shijian. The situation is not good..."

Putting down the receiver, Feng Xiaochen showed a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth. Since Gu Shijian and Xue Mucang jointly reported to him about Hoi An last time, he knew that the other party would not give up until he achieved his goal. As for what measures the other party would take, he couldn't guess at the moment, but there were several alternatives, including the other party's approach of playing environmental protection cards.

In recent years, the Chinese people's environmental awareness has become stronger and stronger, which is a good thing. As long as anything has received widespread attention from the people, it can become a weapon in the hands of those who are interested. This is common sense in public relations. Feng Xiaochen has also used environmental protection as the name of the past to put pressure on some units and achieved good results. This time, what Hoi An did is no different from what Feng Xiaochen did, but the motivation is completely opposite.

Speaking with environmental protection, it conforms to the principle of correct procedures, but the motivation belongs to the part that is essentially correct. If we blindly start from the correct procedures and do not consider the correct substance, then Hoi An's actions are flawless. After the public opinion is fully fermented, they will force the extreme base to relocate in the name of respecting public opinion. At that time, the equipment company and the Development and Reform Commission will not say much.

But Feng Xiaochen is a person who does not believe in evil. He does not believe that correct procedures can surpass the essence. If you sell them out, you can sell them out. No matter how many arches you set up, you cannot change this essence. The country's industrialization goal is supreme. Anyone who attempts to shake this goal is the public enemy of the country. Feng Xiaochen has a hundred ways to make them live worse than death. China is not the kind of country in the West that pursues correct procedures. It is not that easy to exploit loopholes in procedures.

"Mengyang, go and invite Mr. Wang to come to me."
