Chapter 574 Environmental Protection Pioneer
The Yanling County Government didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, but they actually made such a large plaque for Xie Mingcheng. It was clear that they didn't want Xie Mingcheng to take it away, right?But Xie Mingcheng also had her way, she handed the plaque directly to Lin Zhenhua, and asked him to put it in the trunk of the off-road vehicle driven by Hanhua, and take it away with him when he went down the mountain.Xie Mingcheng has already said that she intends to establish an NGO with a few like-minded friends in the future to promote environmental protection, and this plaque can just hang in her office.

After several rounds of interrogation of Feng Chengzhi, Chen Tian was convinced that his behavior was an isolated incident and did not involve any international political conspiracy or organized crime.But even so, the nature of Feng Chengzhi's matter was bad enough. When Chen Tian returned to Beijing, he was taken away directly. As for how to deal with it in the future, Lin Zhenhua and others no longer cared about it.

The chain reaction caused by the incident of Yanling Chemical Plant was also very large. After Jingxi City and the national security department jointly reported the incident to the central government, the state quickly issued a series of management regulations on chemical industrial projects, including It issued a list of toxic chemicals that are strictly prohibited from being produced, stored and transported in mainland China. At the same time, it stipulated the site selection requirements, environmental impact assessment requirements, etc. of various chemical projects that are allowed to be constructed.

When the provinces and municipalities inspected the projects that have been put into production and started construction within their jurisdictions according to the newly promulgated standards of the country, they found several projects involving highly toxic chemical raw materials, and stopped them in time, eliminating many major projects. security risks.After Xie Mingcheng got the news, he was ecstatic and felt that his efforts had been rewarded unexpectedly.

"Boss Lin, this is too unfair." Walking on the boulevard in Jingxi, Xie Mingcheng said to Lin Zhenhua in a coquettish tone.

"What's unfair?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile. Although they only got along for a few days, Xie Mingcheng's enthusiasm and pungentness left a good impression on him.On Xie Mingcheng's body, Lin Zhenhua could see some shadow of He Lan. Of course, that was He Lan 10 years ago.

Xie Mingcheng said: "My friends and I have been running around calling for local governments to pay attention to environmental protection, but the result is not as effective as your one phone call. You see, you only made one phone call, and you called Director Chen, Yanling Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. The factory stopped construction immediately. Then, the state quickly issued relevant regulations to thoroughly investigate chemical construction projects across the country. Compared with this person, the gap is really too big.”

Lin Zhenhua asked: "Then how do you think the difference between us came about?"

"How else could it be formed? You are the boss of a large enterprise group, so you have the right to speak." Xie Mingcheng said.

"You're only half right." Lin Zhenhua said.

"What?" Xie Mingcheng asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Indeed, I have a relatively close relationship with Director Chen Tian, ​​including some familiar friends in the State Planning Commission and other units. There is a relatively smooth communication channel, which is the reason why I can accomplish some things. But on the other hand, the reason is that I can respect practice and rely on solid knowledge to do things, instead of just being enthusiastic without professional knowledge like you. Think about it, the matter of Yanling Chemical Plant , If Lao Hu didn’t see something wrong and everyone blindly thought about the problem according to the standard of a washing powder factory, then this matter can’t be solved until now.”

"Well, okay, I admit that I have no social experience and no professional knowledge." Speaking of this question, Xie Mingcheng faltered, and she had to admit that Lin Zhenhua and Hu Gui were much better than her.Hu Gui, in particular, was able to discover the problems in the Yanling Chemical Plant just based on some cost-benefit analysis, which Xie Mingcheng thought he could not compare to.

"Xiao Xie, you are still young. It is good that you have the enthusiasm to do things. However, you must pay attention to the methods and methods, and learn to think from the perspective of the other party. Environmental protection is a very important thing, but if you cannot If you think from the perspective of the other party, it is impossible for them to accept your opinions, and in the end, you can only rely on simple and crude methods such as blocking roads and demonstrations to achieve your demands, isn't the price too high?" Lin Zhenhua Said.

Xie Mingcheng looked up at Lin Zhenhua, with a half-smile on his face, Lin Zhenhua was a little hairy from her stare, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I found that you like to preach." Xie Mingcheng said.

"Uh..." Lin Zhenhua was a little embarrassed. People who like to preach are most afraid of being pointed out in person by others.Lin Zhenhua thought about it carefully, and felt that he seemed to be too preachy.

"Xiao Xie, I think it is a good thing that you and your friends can devote themselves to the cause of environmental protection. It is worth advocating. Just because I think what you are doing is a good thing, so there are some deficiencies. You point it out to help you do better. If it were someone else, I'm not interested in pointing them out." Lin Zhenhua defended himself lazily.

"I know..." Xie Mingcheng said in a long voice.

"Well, there is one more thing. I want to discuss it with you. I wonder if you are interested." Lin Zhenhua said.

"If Mr. Lin has any instructions, please speak up." Xie Mingcheng said in a teasing tone.

"That's right." Lin Zhenhua said, "Didn't you say that when you were studying in the United States, you studied issues such as environmental protection and internal labor protection in enterprises?"

"To be precise, what I study is comprehensive corporate social responsibility issues, which involve not only the external environmental protection of the enterprise, but also the internal protection of the enterprise related to the working environment of employees, as well as employee benefits, social welfare, and the promotion of community development, etc. Wait. These ideas, even a large enterprise group like your Hanhua Heavy Industry, have not accepted it yet." When talking about his major, Xie Mingcheng finally regained his confidence.

"It should be said that I didn't fully accept it." Lin Zhenhua corrected with a smile, "Actually, since the beginning of our establishment, our group has paid great attention to environmental protection, labor protection, etc. As for social welfare and other things, we have also done a good job. A lot, you see, I came to Jingxi this time to help Jingxi get rid of poverty, isn't this considered social welfare?"

Xie Mingcheng said: "Mr. Lin, you are an amateur. There are many ways of corporate social responsibility, and you can't understand it by patting your head. For example, you said that you pay attention to environmental protection, have you passed the ISO14000 certification? ?”

"Isn't it ISO9000?" Lin Zhenhua asked in a daze.

"That's two different things." Xie Mingcheng said, "ISO14000 is a set of environmental management certification system. It requires enterprises to control the factors that affect the environment in the whole process of product design, production, use, scrapping and recycling. It involves the enterprise's environmental policy. , goals and indicators, environmental management plans, organizations and responsibilities, and more than a dozen aspects, all of which, do you dare to say that your group can do it?"

Seeing Xie Mingcheng's triumphant look, Lin Zhenhua didn't show any sign of anger or frustration at all, he asked with a smile: "So, you know this?"

"Of course." Xie Mingcheng said, "Not only these, but also the European Union's Ecological Management and Audit Act, called EMAS for short; the UK's BS7750 environmental management system, and SA8000 to protect the welfare of employees... All these things, I know I have studied it. When I was in the United States, I also went to guide several companies with my mentor."

"Hehe, that's great, it's really hard to find anywhere, and it doesn't take much effort." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Xiao Xie, you don't know, we have always wanted to find a knowledgeable person to help We're working on that."

"Really?" Xie Mingcheng couldn't believe it, "No way, after I returned to China, I asked many big companies to tell them about this, but they haven't even heard of it, let alone have any interest. You guys Hanhua Group really intends to do work in this area?"

"Our Hanhua concept is always at the forefront." Lin Zhenhua said proudly.

This is not Lin Zhenhua's bragging. Hanhua's concept is indeed very leading among large domestic enterprises.Among Hanhua's executives, there are several returnees, including general manager Xiang Zhe.Thanks to Lin Zhenhua's encouragement, these returnee executives who have drunk foreign ink can promote many advanced foreign management concepts in Hanhua. Of course, this is also based on the full integration with China's national conditions.

Another important reason for Hanhua's advanced concept is that there is such a super cheater as Lin Zhenhua.Taking the concepts of ISO14000 and SA8000 mentioned by Xie Mingcheng as an example, in 2000, domestic companies generally did not pay much attention to them, but after 2005, Western countries were beaten by Chinese manufacturing in foreign trade. With these social responsibility weapons, Chinese companies were dumbfounded for a while.

For example, if a Chinese company sells shirts to Europe, European countries don’t look at your quality and whether the price is low, but first ask you whether there is any abuse of employees in your company, and whether your workers can enjoy weekends and weekends.If these requirements cannot be met, European countries will refuse to import the shirt on the grounds that it comes from a "sweatshop".These cleverly named trade barriers also have a very beautiful name in the world, called "green barriers".

As early as a few years ago, when these social responsibility standards were just emerging in Western countries, Xiang Zhe and others had already noticed this problem, but at that time the impact of Chinese products on the Western market was not that serious, and Western countries wished that Chinese products were better. The price is cheaper, and I don't even bother to put on a sympathetic face, so Hanhua has not put this task on the agenda for the time being.

This time, Lin Zhenhua ran into Xie Mingcheng in Jingxi. During the chat, he learned that she specialized in these environmental certification standards, employee welfare certification standards, etc. abroad, so he decided to ask Xie Mingcheng to do this certification for Hanhua. idea.He told Xiang Zhe this idea on the phone, and Xiang Zhe also agreed very much, thinking that he should take precautions and quickly establish an internal system that meets international standards to deal with possible difficulties abroad.China has just completed the WTO accession negotiations with the United States, and will join the WTO next year. It is time for Chinese companies to learn these international rules of the game.

In addition to dealing with foreigners' ideas, Lin Zhenhua and Xiang Zhe are also very positive about environmental protection and employee protection. They really hope that Hanhua can do more standardized and effective work in this regard.

"Xiao Xie, if you are interested, we would like to hire you as the social responsibility director of our group. First, let me explain that this is not prepared. We can provide you with 100 million yuan as a reward. Please guide us to establish a What do you think of a social responsibility system that complies with international norms?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Mingcheng was overjoyed, "Mr. Lin, what you said is true?"

"You have no jokes... well, although I am not a gentleman, I also have no jokes." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Great! Mr. Lin, I really love you!" Xie Mingcheng took Lin Zhenhua's arm and shook it happily.

"Uh..." Lin Zhenhua was even more embarrassed this time. He pulled back his arm and said cautiously: "Xiao Xie, well, pay attention to the influence, men and women can't kiss each other."

"Hahahaha, it's not a question of whether men and women can kiss each other. Mr. Lin, have you made a mistake, are you an uncle?" Xie Mingcheng bent down with a smile.

"What's the matter, uncle?" Lin Zhenhua felt that his self-esteem had been hurt. He seemed to be only 39 years old, so why did he become an uncle?He had asked about Xie Mingcheng's age before, and it seemed to be 25 years old, and the difference was less than a generation.

Xie Mingcheng said seriously: "As an uncle, you should have the consciousness of an uncle. You know, you are no longer attractive to girls, so you don't have to worry about giving or receiving a kiss."

"Actually, I wasn't attractive to girls before." Lin Zhenhua replied angrily.He suddenly realized that he might really have become an uncle. When some 20-year-old girls in the company saw him, there was far more respect in their eyes than admiration or shyness. This is a good thing Or is it a bad thing?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of He Lan. In a blink of an eye, he hadn't seen He Lan for six or seven years, and he didn't know how this girl was living now.Hearing what He Haifeng said, it seems that He Lan has always been single, which should be the result of being delayed by him.Alas, if he was an uncle who was harmless to girls 20 years ago, how good would it be?
"You don't know, Uncle Lin." Xie Mingcheng had a rather crazy personality, and he was no different from Lin Zhenhua in a blink of an eye. "My parents didn't understand me when I went abroad to learn about social responsibility. After I came back , I wanted to promote this concept in China, but no one cared about it. I was just frustrated, I never thought that such a big client like you would fall from the sky.”

"So, I've been looking for you all the time, and you've been looking for me too, and it turns out that in Jingxi, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers..." Lin Zhenhua couldn't continue, and the following words were not suitable for children.

"Are you trying to say something sparked?" Xie Mingcheng giggled, and punched Lin Zhenhua with his small fist.

Well, this is the niece acting like a baby to the uncle, absolutely!Lin Zhenhua watched his nose with his eyes, his heart with his nose, and his heart was like still water...
