Chapter 754 The Endless War of Words

To be fair, Fan Heng still has a relatively strong say in the Politburo.

There is no other reason. His position as executive deputy prime minister is mainly in charge of large domestic state-owned enterprises, but it cannot be denied that his influence on other enterprises is also far-reaching. Understanding the status of domestic enterprises is also one of his required courses.

Enterprises are the foundation of a country's economic lifeline, which means that the business that Fan Heng is responsible for can support almost half of the country. In addition, the Fan family's current huge influence and increasingly heavy Through personal connections, this family has become an important force that can influence international and domestic situations.

No one dares to underestimate the true power of this emerging family, especially those who reach a higher position, the more they can understand Fan Wubing's powerful power overseas, and how much can be done with the power supported by real wealth. .

In this world, the right to speak has become an increasingly important right. Only those who have the right to speak can be regarded as truly powerful people. To obtain the right to speak, you need to pay a lot of price, or you Already possessing the power to make others listen.

Although money cannot be the power to dominate everything. But in this troubled world, as long as you master huge wealth, not the kind of wealth that makes you comfortable, but the kind of wealth that can rival the country, you can stand upright and stand in the spotlight. Talk loudly.

Shen Wansan is sad because he was born in the wrong era. He always has wealth that is unparalleled and has no say in the country. Fan Wubing is lucky. He can rely on the wealth he has accumulated in twenty years to make himself and his family better. Standing on a stage where he can freely express his opinions allows his father Fan Heng's will to be transformed through the state machinery into a force that pushes the society to move in a better direction.

But if there was only one voice, there would be no need for a Politburo.

When Fan Heng reported the experience of his southwest trip to the Politburo in written form, it aroused some different discussions. After all, he was concerned about environmental protection issues, especially the hidden dangers of mountains in the reservoir area, forestry issues, and small hydropower. The raising of the construction issue has touched the sensitive nerves of many people.

"Comrade Fan Heng has discovered many problems this time, such as the mountain environment, which is very important, but regarding the Fenglin issue, is it a bit exaggerated?" A committee member expressed his different opinions, "At least in the At present, no one in the industry thinks that Fenglin is so harmful. What kind of trees do you plant? As long as they are trees, they can maintain water and soil. This is an indisputable fact."

Another one was even more tit for tat. "As far as I know, the Fan Investment Group founded by Comrade Fan Heng's son also has large paper-making companies in Indonesia and other places, and is also promoting Fenglin. Could it be that Comrade Fan Heng understands this truth, and Mr. Fan Wubing doesn't Do you understand this? If Mr. Fan Wubing knew the dangers of Fenglin,

We also need to promote large-scale planting overseas. Isn't this a beggar-thy-neighbor approach? "

Fan Heng felt very dissatisfied after hearing such words. He glanced at the two people and said, "It's because I know the dangers of Fenglin that my family will build a factory overseas. What's wrong with beggar-thy-neighbor? It's better than doing it in the past." Are you a lot stronger for your own good? In the conflict of interests between countries, which one does not put one's own interests first? You don't really want to promote the spirit of internationalism? "

His direct words made the two people lose their temper at all. Things between countries are just the same thing. They are not intrigues and plots against each other. Even the Chinese people have a mellow nature and have experienced so much. You should learn to behave a little better after this incident.

What traditional friendship is all official talk, the real focus is the issue of cooperation between interests, no matter who it is. As long as it blocks the way of your country's exhibition, it should be moved. This is an iron rule. Otherwise, you will not get exhibition space. Without exhibition space, there is no point in building the four modernizations. ?

Fan Heng prepared a lot of information for this meeting. He also brought his personal computer into the Politburo meeting. He connected it to the laptop through a portable projector and projected it on the white screen of the conference room. The ppT projection made yesterday with the help of Fan Wubing.

"Five years ago, Jinguang Group launched a 600,000-ton gold sea pulp project and a supporting 3.5 million acres of forestry plan in Hainan. It spanned eight years. This is the largest project launched by the group in China." Fan Heng pointed out With some pictures, he explained to everyone, "In the past few years, there have been many incidents of destruction of natural forests in Hainan. During the construction of the first phase of 700,000 acres of pulp forest, more than 200 acres in Chang'an Township, Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County were 79 centimeters in diameter. Trees were cut down, and more than 50 trucks were cut down on the Triangle Maple in Hongshan Township, Wuzhishan City. According to statistics from the Hainan Provincial Fire Prevention Office, there have been 500 symbiotic forest fires in Hainan in the past three years, of which more than 100 were caused by eucalyptus planting companies. The forest area affected reached nearly 4,000 acres.”

No one expected that Fan Heng was so well-prepared, and they were very surprised how he got this information. After all, he was inspecting the southwest two days ago. How could he get the relevant information about Fenglin in Hainan so quickly, and it was so complete? Looks like pictures, text, and data?

The two committee members who expressed different opinions to him just now. At this time, I felt a little regretful in my heart. I shouldn't have spoken out against it so early. They were well-founded, but I was being reckless. In contrast, the superiors and the superiors had made a judgment. This time, the first bird was in vain. .

"After many on-the-spot investigations, Greenpeace released an investigation report on the Sinar Mas Group's land grabbing and deforestation incidents, revealing the truth about the Sinar Mas Group's land grabbing and deforestation around the world." Fan Heng then presented some information and told everyone Said, “Although the government has very strict laws and regulations on the protection of natural forests, Greenpeace’s investigation has proven that some of Sinar Mas Group’s domestic operations have violated these laws and regulations.”

Indonesia's Sinar Mas Group is one of the largest pulp and paper production companies in the world. As one of the famous deforestation companies, it has always been criticized by many environmental organizations. The development history of Sinar Mas Group is closely linked to deforestation. For a long time, they have almost completely destroyed large areas of Indonesia’s virgin rainforest.

Nowadays, there is a lot of opposition to the Sinar Mas Group in Indonesia. This time, they have also been affected by the domestic turmoil in Indonesia. Based on this, they have recently increased their investment in the country and plan to include all major paper-making companies. Move to the mainland. So as not to get stuck in a quagmire in Indonesia and be unable to extricate yourself.

From the bottom of their hearts, they are still attached to the environment in Indonesia. If the Suharto regime had not been too harsh on the Chinese, they would have been reluctant to leave. However, after some annual exhibitions in the mainland, they Suddenly, they discovered that compared with Indonesia, the mainland is their priority development base. The political and legal environment here is really suitable for forest destroyers like them.

Since the 1990s, Sinar Mas Group has shifted its focus to China, in addition to building paper mills and pulp mills. Jinguang Group has also rapidly expanded in China through land encirclement, and has established multiple artificial forest investment projects in major forestry provinces such as Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, in order to obtain as much forest and land resources as possible.

Greenpeace’s investigation report on the deforestation incident of the Sinarw Group Corporation revealed the truth about the deforestation of the Sinarw Group Corporation’s land enclosures. The report pointed out that Sinar Mas Group has delineated a huge pulp and paper forest base of more than 20 million acres in the southwest and started what it calls "afforestation on barren hills."

However, according to statistics, among the more than 20 million acres of bases delineated by Sinar Mas Group, barren hills suitable for forestation only account for one-fifth of its planned area. The rest is made through illegal felling of natural forests and conversion of natural forests into Pulp and paper plantation to complete.

"Greenpeace has also investigated the Hainan issue. It is found that due to the huge raw material supply gap of Jinguang Group's Jinhai pulp mill, it poses a major threat to Hainan's forest resources." Fan Heng changed another slide, "These issues include, including Forest land is given to contractors to plant raw material forest, and "barren hills are afforestation" on forested land; the policy of converting farmland to forest - destroying forests for forest; encroaching on public interests - destroying and changing the ecological functions of highway shelterbelts, and farmers' interests in cooperative afforestation Due to the poor reputation of Sinar Mas Group in the world, many companies in many countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and the United States, do not want to be involved in Sinar Mas Group's environmental damage activities and refuse to buy its products. ”

After Fan Heng gave the presentation to everyone, everyone held group discussions with the information with pictures and texts. Obviously, the situation of using data to speak allowed them to more intuitively understand the extent of the risks currently encountered, and began to have a deeper understanding of Fan Heng. Several committee members who had objections to the topic also expressed at this time that this kind of behavior that endangers national interests is indeed intolerable.

But after discussing it for a while, someone suddenly said, "Oh, we were originally discussing the environmental issues in the reservoir area, but why did we get around to the Fenglin issue? Isn't this a thousand words and thousands of miles off topic?"

Boss Zhu was reading information with his glasses on. Hearing this, he said, "Haha, this is scattered thinking. Since a hidden danger has been discovered, of course we must take precautions and dig out all related hidden dangers and strive to solve them all at once." Otherwise, it will always cause a lot of trouble in the future. "

The number one commander also said. "This problem needs to be solved seriously, otherwise it will inevitably form a major social problem that will be difficult to deal with."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but when the solution was mentioned, it felt more difficult.
