Chapter 539: A Wordless Showdown

The financing cost and interest rate of obtaining Japanese yen loans are lower than domestic financing, but the requirements for investment projects are quite strict: for a loan of 80 million US dollars, 30% of the funds must be used for wastewater treatment supporting projects.

Even in Europe and the United States, which have the most stringent environmental protection requirements, the proportion of environmental protection investment of pure paper companies is not so high.

Nearly 200 million environmental protection investment, in addition to supporting the waste water treatment facilities of the second phase project, also includes 60 million environmental protection facilities technical transformation funds for the first phase project. The second phase of the project has been fully started and is expected to be officially put into operation this autumn, but the technical transformation of the environmental protection facilities of the first phase of the project has been completed.

After the convoy arrived at Xinguang Paper, Zhou You was in charge of explaining the whole process, focusing on visiting the world's most advanced wastewater treatment equipment that Xinguang Paper had just introduced, so that Li Yuanhu could see Xinguang Paper's huge investment in environmental protection without fancy, Zhou You said: "Huge investment in environmental protection does not have much economic benefit for the enterprise. In addition to the one-time equipment investment in the early stage, it also requires a large continuous investment and later management. Basically, it is a pure investment. But we are willing to bear it, this is the social responsibility of the enterprise, and it is also the fundamental principle of the long-term sustainable development of the enterprise... The industrial wastewater has been treated before, and it can almost reach the standard that people can drink," Zhou Yourang, general manager of the paper business department, said. Fu personally ran up to fetch a cup of water from a paper cup, and asked Li Yuanhu and the provincial officials to see the cleanliness of the water, "The water can be recycled, and this factory has completely achieved zero discharge of industrial wastewater..."

In order to verify the words of traveling around. Zhou Fu took a sip and said, "There is no bleach smell like tap water..."

Zhang Ke blinked, even if he knew that the treatment could meet the drinking water standard. But seeing the gray and filthy appearance of the industrial wastewater in the pretreatment pool, he never had the courage to take a sip. This is a test of one's psychological endurance.

Through Su Yiqun, Xie Jiannan had seen the letter of intent for the pulping project submitted by Xinguang Paper, which clearly mentioned that sufficient raw material wood supply should be ensured, but the premise of not damaging the natural forest ecosystem in the province and surrounding provinces and cities was the premise.

In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, the trend of economic thinking that sacrifices the ecological environment and even the interests of some people to develop the economy has become the mainstream in China.

In the province, the pulping project may put great pressure on the already fragile natural forest system in the province. However, it was not unbearable; Zhang Yan and Li Yuanhu and his team had to tell Li Yuanhu clearly that Kumho's suspension of the pulping project was by no means due to ecological and environmental considerations before they received the expensive sewage treatment facilities of Shin Kong Paper. An excuse for no reason.

Xie Jiannan thought that Kumho was determined not to let the provincial government lead them by the nose, and they wanted to survive and develop in this world according to their own intentions and execute their own will.

Chen Jing remained silent,

Thoughtful, he glanced at Zhang Ke who was standing aside, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He did appear to be very laid back. It is almost hard to imagine that domestic paper companies will pay such a high cost for the environment.

When the convoy came out of the papermaking industrial park in Xinqiao Town, Li Yuanhu could fully understand Zhang Ke's intentions. Kumho had no plans to start a pulping project in the near future; this was a showdown.

When going from Xinqiao Town to Haiyu International School at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, Li Yuanhu specially called Su Yiqun to his car. Besides him and Su Yiqun, there were also his secretary Gao Zhen and the secretary-general of the provincial government Lu Wenfu.

"When the vice president of Xinguang drank the glass of water, many newspaper reporters rushed to take pictures of this moment," Li Yuanhu said with emotion, "Foreign media have always criticized domestic companies for sacrificing the environment for development. There is almost no one in China. A clean river, if the photos are developed, it would be good to take them out to pay back to those chattering foreign media..."

Although they disdain Xinguang Paper's practices, the people in Cheli are all politically mature, so no one can open their mouths to express criticism.

"The State Council has been carrying out environmental protection for the century since 1993. It is determined to rectify the paper-making enterprises." Su Yiqun looked at his face and said. "But it's not good to overcorrect..."

Lu Wenfu asked: "Should I say hello to these reporters and stop deliberately promoting Shin Kong Paper?"

For Lu Wenfu, there is no problem of standing in line. He is in such a position and has no choice.

"Forget it, after all, this is something worthy of vigorous advocacy. This kind of thing needs to be greeted, so how will those newspaper reporters look at the province?" Li Yuanhu waved his hand, looking at the faint mist in the distance outside the car window Xiangshan, he was determined not to care about such things.

Once the media hypes Shin Kong Paper's investment in environmental protection, it is equivalent to acquiescing to the fact that Kumho has no delay in the pulping project.

Su Yiqun still has a hand in guessing the leader's intentions. He saw Li Yuanhu's expression was smoldering, and smiled in his heart: Zhang Ke and the others used various methods and methods, even forcing the governor of a province Li Yuanhu to make concessions, and they also wanted to let the Kumho development implement it. Their own will, it seems that they won, but the grudge in Li Yuanhu's heart may not be able to disappear.

The motorcade drove into Haiyu International Private School along the tree-shaded corridor passing through the botanical garden. Xie Wanqing, her assistant Zhang Ting, and the management staff recruited by Guohai International School welcomed Li Yuanhu and his party at the school gate.

For more than a year, Xie Wanqing has gradually downplayed her role as Kumho's leading role, and devoted most of her energy to this private school with high educational standards; On the eve of the project, Haiyu completely withdrew from Kumho.

Li Yuanhu got out of the car and looked calmly at this woman, who may be the wealthiest woman in the province, who had fallen out with her brother and uncle and no longer interacted with her. She was indeed very beautiful, and her gestures were graceful and elegant. Have the opportunity to achieve a dazzling Kumho.

In the past few years, many aristocratic schools have sprung up in the country, and many have opened branch schools in Donghai Province, but they are all for profit. Like Xie Wanqing, who invested in Haiyu International Private School regardless of cost, it is unique. At present, what can be seen is only the investment in hardware. Haiyu International School will adopt the same educational philosophy and methods as the domestic education system, which is still unclear.

After Haiyu International Private School was established, it did not open enrollment to the public. In the early stage, it only considered recruiting the children of employees in the Kumho system. Of course, it is still difficult for ordinary employees in the production line to bear the expensive education of Haiyu International Private School. However, if Kumho wants to recruit top technology and management from all over the world, it has to consider their families carefully. The vast majority of Chinese parents are willing to make concessions on the choice of work for their children's education, but the families of the intellectuals are worried about the status quo of education in China. Education that is easy and can fully tap the nature and talents of their children is the what they are after.

Hearing Xie Wanqing's introduction of the prospect of Haiyu International Private School, Li Yuanhu thought about it, and Zhang Ke, who sat aside like a lazy boy with his head turned sideways, rarely spoke, and looked around, said: "Kumho is the employee of the company. Thinking about it for a long time..."

"Oh," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Where did I think? Kumho's team is good at planning for their future life. But there is nothing wrong with it. Only by planting phoenix trees can the golden phoenix be attracted," Putting his hands on the table, he asked Tang Xueqian, who was on the right hand of Li Yuanhu, "Is that what you said?" He then said to Li Yuanhu, "If you want to recruit top technical and management talents, you must have a living environment that they yearn for. For Africa, no matter how high the annual salary is given to them, there is no place to spend it. Who is happy to go there? Some conditions are not available in the city for a while, so Kumho has to give priority to its employees. In addition to schools, Kumho also has to consider Invest in the construction of a large-scale community, so that those employees from other places can settle down in Haizhou...Considering Kumho's future development, this community will always have to accommodate tens of thousands of people..."

Kumho's subsidiaries, including Shin Kong Paper and Aida Group, have more than 5,000 employees in Haizhou. Zhang Ke's words are casual, but it also reveals Kumho's long-term development plan centered on Haizhou.

Before that, the Aida Group made a big splash in Beijing, bought properties, and carried out extensive cooperation with enterprises and institutions in Beijing, which made Li Yuanhu speculate that Kumho would move its headquarters to Beijing. Li Yuanhu was also afraid of Zhang Ke's youthful behavior Not following the rules, this is the purpose of his trip to Haizhou.

By this time, Li Yuanhu felt a little relieved.
