No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 904 Pollution Paradise
As long as it is a foreign businessman who invests in the mainland in this era, will he be successful?
not necessarily.

Even in previous lives, there were many cases of foreign investment failures, and there were many well-known international companies among them.

There are many reasons for the failure. Now, Wu Xiaozheng will use his own experience to tell everyone about some possible risks that should be avoided as much as possible.

This is not only for the presence of these foreign businessmen, but also for the image and reputation of the country.

In this era, it is not easy to attract business and investment. In order to help the country establish a good image and reputation, Wu Xiaozheng can do his best.

Although his next words may be suspected of "eating the inside out", he believes that in terms of long-term interests, he should be right.

Be a person and do things with a clear conscience.

"The first thing I want to remind everyone is not to touch projects that involve environmental protection issues."

This is a question that Wu Xiaozheng hates the most.

This is still an era without environmental awareness.

In this era, in order to promote local economic development and to attract investment, many local governments have brought in many enterprises with serious environmental pollution under the mentality of eagerness for success.

In previous lives, China paid a heavy price for this.

Attracting investment has always been a double-edged sword.

The influx of foreign capital made China quickly develop into a veritable world factory, and the domestic economy has developed rapidly.

But at the same time, China is also regarded as a polluting paradise by foreign companies.

With the awakening of environmental protection awareness in foreign countries, in order to reduce the cost of pollution, many multinational companies will regard developing countries with lower environmental supervision standards as "pollution paradise" and export a large number of polluting industries.

In order to attract foreign investment, developing countries often launch a "race to the bottom" and compete to lower environmental regulatory standards, thereby deteriorating the environment.

In the 90s and early 21st century, China was a polluting paradise in the eyes of many multinational corporations.

China has indeed paid a heavy price for this.

In the 21st century, China's water pollution and air pollution have become the most serious problems. Countless cities have fallen into a crisis of smog, and the appearance of green water and green mountains is no longer there.

Until later, when the pollution had deteriorated to an unbearable level, the Chinese government finally woke up and began to pay attention to this issue. A large number of multinational companies were included in the blacklist of serious pollution.

In this blacklist, the top ones are many well-known multinational companies.

For example, the well-known mobile phone company Apple, and its supporting enterprises in China, used the toxic solvent n-hexane instead of alcohol in the production of touch screens, causing many employees to be poisoned, which triggered the famous "Apple Pollution Incident", which aroused the resistance of the Chinese people and attack.

Another example is the well-known Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Many of their domestic production plants have been ordered to suspend operations for rectification due to water pollution.

Another example is the well-known Panasonic Electric, which has about 5000 first-tier suppliers in China to provide it with components and materials, and a considerable number of these suppliers are involved in serious environmental pollution problems. At the request of the Chinese government, strict scrutiny of suppliers' environmental pollution issues began.

There are many similar well-known multinational companies, such as Armani and other well-known international clothing brands. Many of their cloth suppliers in China have also been involved in serious pollution problems.

As for those chemical companies, let alone.

After rebirth, Wu Xiaozheng has devoted too much affection to his hometown, so he naturally doesn't want these investors whom he personally brought in to invest in those heavily polluting projects in Hunan Province.

Therefore, he immediately vaccinated everyone.

In fact, he did it not only for the good of his hometown, but also for the sake of these Chinese businessmen.

Investing in heavily polluting projects is not without cost.

Before Wu Xiaozheng's rebirth, China, which has awakened awareness of environmental protection, was vigorously rectifying polluting enterprises. The new development concept of "lucid waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" was also proposed. In order to realize this concept, China once Closed down 17.6 enterprises with serious environmental pollution.

And some enterprises with particularly serious pollution have paid a huge price early.

For example, the international chemical giant DuPont, its titanium dioxide project in Dongying, Shandong Province, was once a key investment project of the local government.

In the eight years since the project started, DuPont invested nearly 8 million yuan, but in the end it was unable to start the project due to environmental protection issues, which made DuPont lose everything in the end.

After roughly explaining the reason, Wu Xiaozheng made another plea to everyone present.

"Although it is said that the ultimate goal of everyone's investment is still for profit, but I implore everyone, for the sake of being Chinese, don't touch projects that cannot solve environmental protection problems, so as not to leave a bad name in the motherland in the future."

Seeing that he invited the person in, Wu Xiaozheng spoke very politely.

In fact, if any of these people here dared to get involved in heavily polluting projects in Hunan Province, he would definitely not sit idly by.

Once he finds out, he will definitely use his influence to become a villain and make these people lose everything.

In this life, he will not sit back and watch his hometown become a polluted paradise.

Wu Xiaozheng just didn't know whether he would be infamous if his words got out.

It's quite possible.

As far as he knows, at this investment promotion meeting, some projects listed by many local governments actually have great hidden dangers of environmental pollution. Leaders in many places still regard them as key projects and hope to introduce huge projects. capital.

This is normal, after all, the awareness of environmental protection in this era is really not strong.

And Wu Xiaozheng's vaccination will definitely spoil their good deeds.

Therefore, after the news got out, Wu Xiaozheng was likely to be abused behind his back by some people.

But Wu Xiaozheng didn't care.

In fact, his dose of vaccination still has a certain effect.

William Lin, chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, immediately stood up and responded.

"Wu Dong's words really deserve everyone's attention. As a Chinese, making money is important, but national integrity is more precious. We can't put our compatriots in dire straits just to make money. Such behavior is no different from national scum .”

"I suggest that among us, if anyone dares to ignore environmental protection for the sake of profit, the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce will consider blacklisting such a person."

He was offering a guarantee to Wu Xiaozheng in a disguised form.

As the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he has this qualification and also has this obligation.

In fact, those present here have already known the importance of environmental protection because they have lived in the United States for a long time.

Wu Xiaozheng showed a satisfied smile.

Polluted heaven, will not exist under my nose!
