Material Empire - v2 Chapter 779

Chinese people’s attention to environmental protection topics has gradually increased with the improvement of living standards. In the era of lack of food and less clothing, problems such as pollution and radiation have not received much attention. In the factories and mines, such as welding and exploration, which have harmed the operator’s body, people are often rushing to do it. The reason is that these types of jobs can be subsidized for a few dollars more than others.

In recent years, people’s lives have improved, and the problem of food and clothing is no longer a problem, and people are even more fragile than in the past. The proliferation of various true and false health theories is a typical reflection. Environmental protection public welfare organizations such as Blue Sky have been able to have a large number of fans in European and American countries because these countries have already entered a wealthy state. Now they can finally find new markets in China.

Both Gusev and Ekin are sensational masters. They know very well what kind of information the people need, so they choose to do what they like, arrogantly rendering the danger of the RX project, and let people fall into an inexplicable panic. In this case, as long as there is a breeze blowing, people such as the bow-struck bird will growl.

Chen Lusha is a white-collar worker with a high sense of “environmental protection”. She has a college degree and is an executive in a company in Yiping. She has a good income and a relatively leisurely job. In weekdays, she likes to read social science publications such as readers and acquaintances. In an article, as long as the author wrote something like “Thomas” or “McDonald”, she was convinced. She often tells her colleagues that most Chinese scholars are ignorant or unscrupulous, while foreign scholars and journalists are extremely conscientious and they never talk nonsense. In her words: “People don’t talk for money at all”, “People are a society of honesty, and everyone is responsible for speaking.”

Blue Sky organized an environmental lecture in Yiping, and Chen Lusha took a leave of absence in the company to listen. With a beard and a beard, Gusev impressed Chen Lusha with his extremely magnetic voice, deep eyes, and often nervous arms. Chen Lusha felt solemn and sacred. With such a preconceived impression, even if Gusev said that the earth is square, Chen Lusha would definitely believe it.

Gusev told everyone that RX is an extremely dangerous thing. In all countries except China, construction around cities is strictly prohibited. Such projects must be at least 100 kilometers from the city. Chen Lusha immediately thought of the Daqin RX project outside Yiping City, which was only more than 20 kilometers away from the urban area, according to Gusev. Hundreds of thousands of people in Yiping were sitting on the crater.

After listening to the lecture, Chen Lusha did not sleep well for several days. She has a well-off family and has a naive and cute child. She is afraid that the RX project will threaten her happiness, so she is worried. Every day she takes two dark circles to the company to go to work, all she thinks about is this.

“Sister Chen, what’s the matter with you? Are you sick?” Colleagues in the unit saw her like this and naturally came forward to care about it.

“Xiao Li. Did you go to the lecture? Do you know that the chemical plant under construction outside our city can be dangerous …” Chen Lusha took the hand of her colleague and began to preach, telling the set of Gushev Everything was sold to each other.

Colleagues were dubious: “No, if it is really dangerous, can the city let them build it?”

“Those government officials, just thinking about their achievements, will they not care about the lives of the people!” Chen Lusha said.

“However, I heard that the Daqin Group has always been concerned about environmental protection. The singer Qin Ling who endorses environmental protection on TV is the sister of Qin Hai, chairman of the Daqin Group.” These young girls may not understand economic life and science How much, but gossip in the entertainment industry, they are well aware.

“It’s all a show!” Chen Lusha asserted.

This kind of thing is called brainwashing. Once you accept a certain argument and consider it to be true, all other different voices can be interpreted in your mind as sophistry. Especially when this argument brings some elements that make you fear, the effect is more obvious.

So we can see. A variety of “crash theories” can prevail. Certain foods are poisonous, high-speed rail is radiant, and buying a Japanese product is equivalent to contributing a bullet to the Japanese army … Such snippets will always have a market, which uses people. The fear and hatred of people, no matter how much truth there is, no one cares at all.

“But this project has already been built, what can we do?” Colleagues were persuaded by Chen Lusha and began to worry.

“I heard that we have a non-profit organization in Yiping preparing to go to the municipal party committee to petition tomorrow to stop the construction of the RX project, or let’s go together, there are many people!” Chen Lusha said.

“Okay, go with you!” The people in the office answered in unison.

In this way, countless people emerged from various communities and office buildings, gathered together, shouted slogans, and marched toward Fuqian Street where the municipal party committee and city government are located. Thus, a large-scale demonstration began.

“We want to be environmentally friendly!”

“Boy RX!”

“Stop the harmful RX project immediately!”

A slogan higher than a wave shook the glass window of the municipal party committee’s meeting room. Police pulled a cordon in front of the municipal party’s door, preventing the protesters from impacting the municipal party’s compound. Among the people, a group of activists are constantly instigating propaganda, so that people’s emotions are constantly intensified, and the situation on the scene is very tense.

The meeting was no longer open. The leaders left the meeting room and came to the lobby on the first floor of the office building, watching the outside situation through the brown glass door. As the mayor, Wang Hongliang stepped out of the building and came to the citizens.

“Dear friends, I am Mayor Wang Hongliang. Please keep calm and express your demands rationally!” Wang Hongliang held a loud speaker and shouted to everyone.

“Everyone be quiet!”

“Well, let’s calm down and listen to what the city leaders say.”

The activists among the citizens made their voices, and their appeal was even greater than that of Wang Hongliang. When they heard their voices, everyone began to quiet down and stared at Wang Hongliang intently, waiting for him to continue.

Wang Hongliang secretly grieved. He was not convinced by the publicity of Gusev and others, and he was unwilling to deny a large investment of 10 billion yuan after listening to such a lecture. But what can he say in the face of passionate people?

“I looked at the banner you raised. If I made no mistake, everyone came to reflect their concerns about the RX project. Is that right?” Wang Hongliang asked, and at this time, he could only come slowly and see the move. Recruited.

“Mayor Wang, we did not come to reflect any concerns. We have only one request, which is to immediately stop the construction of the RX project to ensure the safety of our lives and property.” Chen Lusha walked to the front of the crowd and said to Wang Hongliang loudly.

Wang Hongliang said: “The construction of a large-scale project is very prudent. For the RX project, we conducted an in-depth demonstration at the beginning and determined that it was risk-free, so we agreed to its construction. There is no basis now, how can we stop it out of thin air What about building? “

“What is no basis?” Chen Lusha said loudly. “Foreign RX projects are all built 100 kilometers away from the city, and how far away is our RX project from Yiping City. Do you not see such a clear violation? Are you here? “

“Our country does not have such a rule.” Wang Hongliang replied that he had heard this article several times today for a distance of 100 kilometers. In his mind, this rule clearly exists.

“That is the system of our country!” Chen Lusha said.

“But as long as we can’t find such a rule, there is no reason for us to stop this project, isn’t it?” Wang Hongliang said, “Our government also needs to be disciplined when it comes to doing things.”

As soon as this statement was made, the citizens immediately fry the pan, and everyone attacked Wang Hongliang:

“What law! Definitely for political achievements!”

“We’d rather be poor and don’t want such projects!”

“Wang Hongliang is off class!”

“roll!”

Wang Hongliang was embarrassed. He held up his microphone and shouted desperately: “Everyone, everybody, everyone, be quiet! Listen to me …”

However, where are the angry people willing to listen to what he said, there are some people in the crowd who want to hear Wang Hongliang’s explanation, but these people can’t stop the companions around them from cursing. The voice of the crowd was so loud that the sound made by Wang Hongliang’s hand was completely drowned out.

“Pharaoh is really right. At this time, what regulations are not stipulated? When he is a leader, he must have the courage to break his wrist!”

Guo Shuqing, who was watching from behind, stomped his feet ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ took a loudspeaker from the secretary around him, pushed open the door, and walked to Wang Hongliang’s side.

“Secretary Guo, why did you come out?” Wang Hongliang was a little surprised.

“Lao Wang, at this time, we have to have a little determination!” Guo Shuqing said, “when we are constantly on the go, we must suffer from chaos.”

“Secretary Guo, what do you mean?” Wang Hongliang asked, staring.

Guo Shuqing ignored him, but held his microphone and walked towards the demonstrators. His image often appeared on local television, so many people present knew him, knowing that he could speak well, so he stopped talking and waited for him to speak.

“Dear friends, I am the secretary of this city, Guo Shuqing. I have heard all the demands of you just now. It is the consistent goal of this municipal party committee to pay attention to the safety of people ’s lives and property and create a harmonious and fresh living environment for the people. .In view of everyone’s concerns about the Yiping RX project, in order to eliminate the hidden dangers in your life, on behalf of the municipal party committee, I solemnly announce that the construction of the Yiping RX project will be stopped immediately and never restarted! “(To be continued.)
