Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong and Zhao Jinshan came to the mine.

"Where is the spy you caught?" Zhao Jinshan said excitedly.

Li Weidong looked at Zhao Jinshan in surprise and wondered why you are so excited.

Zhao Jinshan saw what Li Weidong was thinking, and he explained: "When I was a child, I lived in a compound, and I liked to play the game of catching spies! No one in our group wanted to play the role of spies, so in the end we decided on rock, paper, scissors. In the end, I always lose, always acting as a spy, but this time I finally reversed my position.”

"Brother from the big courtyard, even playing house is different from others." Li Weidong muttered in his heart.

The person in charge of the mine, Lao Zhang, immediately came over, pointed to a room not far away, and said, "The spy is locked up in that room, and the gatekeeper, Lao Suntou, is interrogating him!"

"Why let a gatekeeper interrogate you?" Li Weidong asked.

"Boss Li, you don't know. This old Sun Tou is no ordinary janitor. He was a militia captain when he was young, and he actually caught spies. The spy caught this time was also discovered by Old Sun Tou. ." Lao opened his mouth and replied.

"Our mine is really full of talents." Li Weidong said with a smile.

As they talked, they walked into the room and saw a young man in his early twenties who was tied to a chair and his mouth was blocked by a towel. He must have been the spy.

Next to him was an old man in his early sixties, probably the old Suntou who had captured a spy when he was young.

"Lao Sun, the two bosses are here!" Lao Zhang greeted, and Lao Sun quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you, Old Sun." Zhao Jinshan handed Old Sun his first cigarette and asked, "How did you catch this spy?"

Old Sun took the cigarette and said with a showy face: "Yesterday, I noticed this person, sneaking around our mine, and looking for people to make inquiries from time to time.

Today this kid sneaked into our mining area and wandered around secretly. I felt that this guy must not be a good person, so I wanted to go over and ask.

Before I could ask a few questions, the boy hesitated and ran away, and I chased after him. Boss, don't look at me. I'm over sixty years old, but my legs and feet are very flexible. This kid couldn't run away from me. I caught him! "

"Then how do you know he is a spy?" Li Weidong asked.

"When I first caught this kid, he called himself a reporter. I asked him to get his press card, but he couldn't get it out, so I searched him!" Lao Suntou said, pointing to the table next to him. Then he said:

"We found a bunch of spy tools, all on the table! The watch he was wearing contained a camera, and the pen contained a bug!"

Li Weidong and Zhao Jinshan walked to the table, picked up the watch and took a closer look. It was still a miniature camera. Then they picked up the pen and opened it. It was indeed a recording device with a twist-type battery.

"Old Sun, you are amazing. You can find such a hidden device!" Zhao Jinshan couldn't help but praise him.

Old Sun Le said quite proudly, "When I was a militia captain, I went to the army to learn how to catch spies. I was interrogating the spy just now, where did he put the radio!"

"Okay, stop interrogating this kid. If this kid is really a spy, he will have to be handed over to the national security department." Zhao Jinshan laughed and then ordered; "Old Sun, you have worked hard, go and rest first! By the way. , go back to the accountant and get the three thousand yuan bonus!"

Lao Suntou happily went to the accountant to collect his bonus, while Li Weidong walked to the young effect and took out the rag stuffed in his mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." The young man coughed for a long time, and then said in a less than standard Mandarin: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am not a spy, I am a reporter!"

"The accent is from the south?" Li Weidong said.

"I'm from Hong Kong! I'm from my compatriots!" The young man's substandard Mandarin was also mixed with some Cantonese.

Zhao Jinshan had done business in Hong Kong Island, and his Cantonese was very standard, so he asked directly in Cantonese: "You said you are a reporter, do you have credentials?"

Hearing the Cantonese language, the young man was so excited that he almost cried. He quickly said: "I have my ID, it's in my bag, it's on the table!"

"Why didn't you take out your ID earlier?" Zhao Jinshan said, looking at the black bag on the table, then walked over and started rummaging through it.

"The green one!" The young man quickly added: "I showed it to that uncle, but he didn't recognize it!"

"Is this it?" Zhao Jinshan took out a small green notebook with English on the cover from his bag.

"Yes, that's it!" The young man nodded quickly.

Li Weidong looked at the small green notebook and said, "Isn't that what our press credentials are like?"

"That's not the case for journalists from Hong Kong Island!" Zhao Jinshan shook his head, and then opened a small green notebook. It was all in English. Fortunately, Zhao Jinshan had done international trade and knew some English.

"Green Warrior Agency? Freelance reporter? What the hell is this?" Zhao Jinshan frowned.

"Freelance reporters are either formal reporters or reporters who do not belong to the media. They work alone, do some interviews and reports, and sell them to the media to make money." Li Weidong said.

"I understand this. I'm asking what this Green Warriors organization is?" Zhao Jinshan continued.

Li Weidong thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Generally, those with a little green on their heads are environmental protection organizations! There should be many such environmental protection organizations overseas. Many of these organizations receive money from the CIA and stir up trouble everywhere. Making trouble."

Zhao Jinshan nodded, turned around and asked, "Are you from an environmental protection organization?"

"Yes, our Green Warriors are an international environmental protection organization. I am a freelance reporter of the Green Warriors organization! I am not a spy! My name is Jiang Yaozu. If you don't believe it, you can call Hong Kong Island to confirm my identity!" The young man finally announced his family name. .

Li Weidong looked at the young man named Jiang Yaozu with curiosity, and then asked: "You are from an environmental protection organization. You should be engaged in environmental protection. Why do you come to our mine for nothing?"

"This..." Jiang Yaozu's eyes flickered, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"It seems that he is still a spy. His identity as a freelance reporter for an environmental protection organization is just a disguise." Li Weidong smiled slightly and turned to ask Zhao Jinshan: "How many years can we be imprisoned for espionage in our country?"

"Then it's hard to tell. The most serious case would be the death penalty! Even if they survive, many of them will be imprisoned for the rest of their lives! As far as I know, many spies caught in the 1950s are still imprisoned now!" Zhao Jinshan Sing and harmonize with Li Weidong.

"I'm not a spy!" Jiang Yaozu couldn't stand the intimidation. When he heard that he would be imprisoned for life, he immediately said, "I said it's not okay! I came to your coal mine just to investigate the pollution."

"What does your investigation of pollution have to do with our coal mines? Our coal mining does not pollute the environment!" Zhao Jinshan snorted coldly.

"Brother Zhao, strictly speaking, our coal mining will really pollute the environment." Li Weidong paused and then explained: "If nothing else, the harmful gases released every day in our coal mines will pollute the environment." Air."

In the process of coal mining, a lot of harmful gases need to be discharged, such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, etc. These gases are not only flammable and explosive, but also affect the air, produce atmospheric pollution, and some can destroy the ozone layer. . Therefore, it is certainly true that coal mining produces air pollution.

Just listen to Li Weidong continue to say; "In addition to air pollution, coal mining will definitely have an impact on the land, and the coal gangue we wash out will pollute the environment.

Wherever that thing is placed, food cannot be grown on that land. If it rains, the water soaked in coal gangue will pollute the groundwater. Not to mention that coal mining will cause surface subsidence, which will also have an impact on the environment! "

"Yes, that's what our Director Zhao said!" Jiang Yaozu, who was tied to the chair, immediately nodded crazily.

"Director Zhao? Is he your leader?" Li Weidong asked next.

"Director Zhao is the director of our Green Warriors Environmental Protection Organization. He told us that coal mines in the mainland have caused very serious pollution to the environment. Director Zhao was the one who assigned me to investigate the coal mine pollution." Jiang Yaozu replied.

"Then why did you choose our coal mine?" Li Weidong then asked.

"Because you are a private enterprise. Director Zhao comes from the mainland and has been to Hong Kong Island. He knows the mainland better. He said that private enterprises often do not comply with national regulations when mining coal, which will cause relatively large pollution."

Ding Yaozu paused for a moment, then continued: "Your Dongshan Mining Group is the leader among private coal companies, and the pollution it causes must be the largest. Director Zhao asked me to come to your place to investigate."

"Director Zhao, is he from mainland China? He went to an international environmental protection organization like this. I feel like he is full of traitor traits!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

The next second, Li Weidong's plan came to his mind, and he immediately showed a surprised expression: "Your Director Zhao asked you to come to the mainland to investigate coal mines? Do you have any grudge against this Director Zhao?"

"No, Director Zhao is a very nice person. He is very approachable and treats us very well. He often invites us to afternoon tea!" Jiang Yaozu continued: "Director Zhao thinks highly of me and that's why he gives such an important investigation task to me. Give it to me!”

"Important investigation task? What kind of important investigation task is this!" Li Weidong smiled contemptuously, and then said: "Coal mining does cause a lot of pollution, but the problem is that the pollution conditions I just mentioned are not just The coal mines here are like this, and coal mines all over the world are the same!

Hazardous gases and coal gangue are not unique to our coal mines. Which coal mines in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia do not have harmful gases? Which one doesn’t have coal gangue?

These are all inevitable products in the production process of coal mines, and they have been on the earth longer than us humans! It is no exaggeration to say that these pollutions have existed since the day humans began mining coal.

It is completely meaningless for you to come to us to investigate environmental pollution caused by coal mining. Environmental pollution caused by coal mining is a common thing and is known to the whole world. There is nothing worthy of investigation and reporting, right?

It's like you went to the mainland to report on the harmful effects of smoking on health. Even a three-year-old child knows that smoking is harmful to health. It is not a new topic, and even if it were made, it would not attract much attention.

Secondly, you came to us to investigate and came to the conclusion that smoking in China is harmful to health. What kind of bullshit conclusion is this? Isn’t smoking harmful to Americans’ health? Isn't smoking harmful to Europeans' health? Isn’t smoking harmful to Japanese people’s health?

This is a universal problem all over the world. Isn’t it the same wherever you investigate? The conclusions from the investigation are all similar. Why come all the way to us and even come to our coal mine? Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?

That's why I ask you, do you have any grudge against your Director Zhao? If there is no grudge between you, why would he give you this troublesome and meaningless job? "

Jiang Yaozu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that what Li Weidong said seemed to make sense.

Since the pollution caused by coal mining is a common problem all over the world, and it has existed for more than a day or two, there is really not much value worthy of research and investigation. What's the point of coming here specifically to do the investigation?

Just like the fact that smoking is harmful to health, slogans have been shouted for decades, and even children understand it. But except on World No Tobacco Day, the media will pay attention to this issue. On weekdays, who would care about this matter!

The same goes for the pollution caused by coal mining. Even if an investigation report is produced, it seems to be meaningless and a complete waste of time and energy.

You say that coal mining in China pollutes the environment, but in major coal-producing countries such as the United States, Australia, Russia, and Indonesia, which country does coal mining not pollute the environment?

When all crows in the world are as black as black, if you report on the color of crows' fur, who will care?

"Could it be that I really offended Director Zhao, so he arranged such an errand for me?" Jiang Yaozu thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out when he offended Director Zhao.

Li Weidong continued to fan the flames from the side: "If you have not offended Director Zhao, then there is another possibility.

There is a saying that not being envied by others is mediocrity. The main reason is that your work ability is outstanding, which makes Director Zhao feel jealous. He is afraid that you will threaten his position after promotion, so he deliberately harms you because he does not want you. Make good work! "

"It makes sense. An outstanding person like me will definitely be jealous of others! Director Zhao must be worried that I will make achievements and take his place, so he deliberately harms me and sends me here. What a shitty place!" Jiang Yaozu nodded with deep understanding.

Li Weidong continued: "Actually, if you come to our mine to investigate, you can't find anything. Although we are a private enterprise, we are also a formal company after all, and everything must be done according to the rules.

Departments such as safety supervision and environmental protection will come to inspect every month. If problems are found, they will be fined in light cases or suspended for rectification in serious cases. Even if we want to violate the rules, we don't have the conditions.

If you really want to do in-depth reporting, you should not come to regular coal mines like ours, but to those irregular black coal mines, where there are many problems. If you dig deeper, you can definitely make a report. Big news is coming! "

"Irregular black coal mines? Is the environmental pollution produced there very serious?" Jiang Yaozu asked subconsciously.

"It's not just pollution, there are many other problems! It's possible to use slave labor, forced labor, and conceal mining accidents!

If you catch one of these, it will definitely be shocking news, it will definitely cause a sensation, and it is possible to win a news award! By then, I will be able to feel proud in front of Director Zhao! "Li Weidong said.

When Jiang Yaozu heard that he had won the journalism award, he was immediately moved.

However, Li Weidong changed his voice and continued: "But I don't recommend that you investigate black coal mines. It is illegal to open black coal mines. These people don't follow the law! If you really go to investigate black coal mines, I'm afraid you will It’s dangerous! It’s better not to go, safety comes first!”

"I will not bow to the evil forces!" Jiang Yaozu immediately puffed up his chest.

Li Weidong deliberately looked Jiang Yaozu up and down, and then said: "If you really want to investigate the black coal mine, you can't do it now. With your investigation methods, even one of our gatekeepers can catch you. Going to investigate the black coal mine is not a good idea! I think you have other options..."

"Like what?" Jiang Yaozu asked immediately.

"You must have watched "Infernal Affairs", right? How was Eric Tsang arrested? It was all by undercover!" Li Weidong said.

Jiang Yaozu nodded suddenly: "I understand, if I want to investigate the black coal mine, I should follow Tony Leung and work as an undercover agent in the black coal mine!"

…

Li Weidong returned the equipment and documents to Jiang Yaozu, and then sent a car to take Jiang Yaozu back to the city.

Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, Zhao Jinshan asked: "What's your plan? Why did you instigate this young man to check for black coal mines?"

"Don't you think the problem of black coal mines should be taken care of? In recent years, the harm caused by black coal mines is not small!" Li Weidong paused and continued; "There are many black coal mines in our area. I check it every year, but I can’t finish it every year.

When the inspectors came, the mine owner closed the black coal mine, and when the inspectors left, they immediately reopened the mine. This was a complete guerrilla fight against the inspectors. What's more, some black coal mines already have local protection umbrellas, and they are simply confident. "

"Black coal mines should be thoroughly rectified. But then again, how can those who dare to open black coal mines obey the law? Some are even desperadoes. If this young man with no experience in the world goes to investigate the black coal mines, he might be able to He was really buried alive!" Zhao Jinshan said, shaking his head.

"Only young men who have no experience in the world dare to investigate black coal mines. Who dares to investigate black coal mines? Anyone with some social experience dares to investigate? Do you want to save your life! Haven't you watched "Infernal Affairs"? The undercover agents are all selected from the police academy. Why? Young people are so easy to fool!" Li Weidong curled his lips.

"But what if things really get into trouble? He is from Hong Kong after all, and there is some kind of Green Warriors organization behind him. If someone is killed, it will be a big trouble!" Zhao Jinshan said.

"Anyway, it's not us who are in trouble!" Li Weidong continued: "And if things get big, it may not be a bad thing. Only when things get big will the top have the determination to rectify those black coal mines, and the people behind the black coal mines. Those who protect us dare not act rashly. What’s more, cracking down on black coal mines is also beneficial to the healthy development of our country’s coal industry.”

Zhao Jinshan looked at Li Weidong with a puzzled look on his face, and said to himself that Li Weidong today has a really high level of ideological consciousness, and his whole body is glowing with the light of righteousness!

However, the next second, Li Weidong continued: "When we successfully crack down on black coal mines, those who go to black coal mines to buy coal will have to come to regular coal mines like ours. By then, not only will our coal sales be better, but the price will also be better." It has to go up a lot more!”

"Is this your true intention?" Zhao Jinshan curled his lips, and the light of righteousness disappeared instantly.

Looking at the direction Jiang Yaozu was leaving, Zhao Jinshan couldn't help but show a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"This poor kid was sold and still helping to count the money!"
