Chapter 992 (1/2)
The situation is more critical than Hughes said.
After Qin Shiou comforted a group of young people in the convenience store, he called Hamley and said, ”Dow Chemical wants to build a damn chemical plant on the island. As mayor, don't you have the right to stop it?”
Hamley said reluctantly, ”if they apply for the construction of new plants, I can stop them, but damn it, these bastards are too powerful. They bought the plants of spring chemical and other factories. As long as they get the access agreement of the production line, they can reopen the chemical plant.”
Qin Shiou said, ”then block them and let them not get the access agreement!”
Hamley was even more helpless: ”however, this agreement was approved by the provincial government, and our municipal government is not qualified for direct jurisdiction! And they've got it! ”
Dow Chemical is very powerful. They are cutting first and then playing. They are pretending to investigate public opinion. Everything is ready there. They just wait for the production line to start. At that time, they will not take into account public opinion because their procedures are legal.
Poor little Hughes and others still want to threaten others to leave by violence. In fact, they don't care at all.
Qin Shiou was silent and asked, ”in other words, it's no use for me to spend 50 million yuan to help you become mayor?”
He was oppressed. After Hamley became mayor, he had not enjoyed the benefits of political investment. Although this guy gave him advice to run for mayor, Qin Shiou was not interested.
Hamley had a conscience, or he didn't want to lose Qin Shiou's powerful ally, so he quickly said, ”of course I can help in this matter, but I can't help directly. Listen to me, Qin, there is a way to deal with Dow chemistry. This way is to drag! ”
”Drag? What is this? ”
Hamley explained: ”Dow bought the plant, got the bank loan, and they have begun to invest. But as long as their production lines can't be built for one day, they can't make profits for one day. For businessmen, it's tantamount to losing money. ”
”There is no doubt that the chemical plant must be polluted. So why can't the townspeople organize themselves to resist the opening of the chemical plant? As long as the townspeople block the wharf, I don't know what way they can transport machinery and equipment to the island by air drop? Then they have to hire the Canadian air force to work for them. ”
After hearing this idea, Qin Shiou thought it was a bad idea. He wondered, ”Mr. Mayor, are you encouraging me to fight the government?”
If they block the dock and do not allow the production of chemical plants with reasonable plant construction, it will be tantamount to confronting the government, which is commonly known as violent protest.
Hamley said briskly, ”no, my help to you is here. When you have a dispute with the chemical plant, they will need the municipal government to help regulate, and I will refuse to regulate, and I will not sign a warrant to allow the police to regulate, so this matter can only be delayed. ”
”In addition, Qin, you actually have a lot of resources to use. First of all, I checked for you. The Dow loan bank this time is the Bank of Montreal; Secondly, you have a militia that you can use. Don't forget the purpose of your militia force! ”
Hearing this, Qin Shiou suddenly realized that 50 million yuan was not in vain. Politicians like Hamley are really old-fashioned. They help him think about economy, politics, military and civil affairs. He just needs to do it.
Yes, why does he have a militia? Because his fishing ground is the habitat of leatherback turtles, and the militia protect this habitat, they can't let the chemical plant land on the island, otherwise the sewage discharged will destroy this protected area. What should we do?
After understanding this truth, he thanked Hamley and went home at ease.
