Blue Sky is a global environmental protection public welfare organization. For more than 30 years, they have launched various environmental protection campaigns around the world, including intercepting whalers on the Pacific Ocean, opposing nuclear power plant construction in France, and resisting potash plants in Canada. In the Philippines, eradication of genetically modified experimental fields, every campaign was a riot, causing governments of all countries and related companies to talk about changes.

The Warren Group, as one of the world's largest chemical companies, has also been a key object of Blue Sky's resistance. Ten years ago, Blue Sky organized a large-scale boycott campaign specifically targeted at the Warren Group, at the same time blocking more than a dozen chemical companies around the world at the same time. Demonstrators ignored the security barriers and rushed Entered the central control room of the chemical plant and tried to force the brakes, which almost caused a serious accident.

The Warren Group urgently launched the public relations mechanism, sent a commissioner to secretly negotiate with the Blue Sky organization, and finally agreed that the Warren Group would "donate" an annual amount of 15 million US dollars to the so-called environmental public welfare fund under the Blue Sky organization in exchange for Blue Sky provided "environmental protection supervision" services to the Warren Group, which calmed down the situation and enabled factories in various places to resume production.

Bernice and Gusev also knew each other in that conflict. Since then, Bernice has participated in several environmental forums organized by Blue Sky as a technical expert. At the meeting, he introduced his colleagues to the "pleasant experience" of working with Blue Sky. Tell other companies to give up resistance and surrender to the blue sky organization.

Bernice knew very well what the Blue Sky organization was all about. On this earth, there are indeed many genuine public welfare organizations that aim to save lives and help the society, but more of them are in the name of public welfare. Pseudo-public interest organizations that earn money and launder money. People in the post-industrial era can easily breed the mentality of the Virgin and need someone to help them give away their excess love, so all kinds of public welfare organizations are like a river. Fanmo is here, and the blue sky is just one of them.

Come here as a victim. Bernice is well aware of the destructive power of the blue sky. In the face of the aggressive competitive pressure of Chinese companies, Bernice thought of this old enemy and gave birth to misfortune.

Gusev is the secretary-general of a division of Blue Sky. He has more than a dozen full-time staff and has been active in Western Europe. In recent years, due to the proliferation of various public welfare activities initiated by various public welfare organizations, governments of various countries that originally had appeasement policies for the activities of public welfare organizations are very disturbed. They have also begun to show red cards to these organizations. Gusev organized several demonstrations for the construction of high-speed railways. The results not only failed to achieve the expected results. Several staff members were also arrested by the local police for crimes such as disrupting social order and assaulting the police. It took little energy to rescue them.

This place in Europe is not good anymore, and Gusev is increasingly aware of it. He set his sights on other parts of the world, including China, which was booming. Coincidentally, when he was planning to take time to study China, Bernice's phone call reached his desk.

"Mr. Bernice, why do you start to care about environmental issues?" Gushev asked lightly.

"We, the Warren Group, have always been very concerned about environmental protection." Bernice responded. "After I came to work in China. I found that the Chinese people's awareness of environmental protection is still in the era of the industrial revolution. There is an urgent need for European Environmental organizations come to do some work for them, don't you have that interest? "

"Of course we are interested." Gushev answered perfunctoryly. At the same time the mouse in his hand was moving fast, he was looking for information about the rx project. After reading several reports, a familiar smile appeared on his face, and he understood why Bernice had called him.

The rapid development of China's economy has brought huge demand for various chemical products. rx is an important chemical raw material, and its demand in China has grown extremely rapidly in recent years. China's own rx output is seriously inadequate and requires a large number of imports from abroad. Japan, South Korea, Germany and Singapore are the major producers of rx. Among them, the Warren Group exports up to 2 million tons of rx to China every year. Billions of dollars.

China is a very self-sufficient country and has been working to increase rx capacity over the years. To meet their needs. Once China's own rx units are put into production in large numbers, it will inevitably reduce its dependence on imported rx raw materials. At the same time, greatly reducing the price of rx, the interests of many foreign manufacturers, including the Warren Group, will be harmed.

Under such circumstances, wasn't it clear that Bernice invited Blue Sky to organize activities in China?

Knowing this, Gusev knew how to communicate with Bernice. He snorted and said, "Mr. Bernice, although we are very interested in going to China, we do n’t know about China. It takes a lot of energy to study this country. Also, after all, China is a distant place, and our branch's funding ... "

"I think this problem is easy to solve. If Blue Sky organizes an event in China, the Warren Group's China representative office is willing to provide part of the convenience." Bernice replied without hesitation. He knows that these non-profit organizations don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and his tongue alone can't make Gouschev tempted, so before calling Gouschev, he did a good job for Gouschev. Psychological preparation for money.

"If so, that would be great. We would thank the Warren Group for their enthusiastic sponsorship for the Chinese." Gousev Haha smiled, and unceremoniously substituted himself into the Chinese savior role.

A few days later, in the office of Guo Shuqing, the new secretary of Yiping City in Dongyuan Province, two big-nosed Europeans were ushered in. Accompanying them was Xu Yang, deputy director of the Science and Technology Bureau of Yiping City.

Xu Yang was returned to the place because of a serious problem in his life style. The base remembered that Xu Yang had made some contributions, so he didn't want to make things absolutely impossible. Instead of keeping Xu Yang's mistakes on file, he returned Xu Yang to his hometown of Yiping for resettlement in accordance with the general procedures for changing jobs.

Xu Yang graduated from a prestigious school and was promoted to the main post when he was in the army. Therefore, after transferring to a local place, Xu Yang was placed in the Science and Technology Bureau as a middle-level cadre. Due to his outstanding talents and some good background in Yiping City, he was quickly promoted to be the Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Bureau, and it was rumored that the newly appointed Municipal Party Committee Secretary Guo Shuqing appreciated him and intended to focus on his cultivation. It is estimated that such a shining unit cannot be tolerated by such a unit as the Science and Technology Bureau.

"Secretary Guo, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Gusev, Secretary-General of the Post-Industrial City Civilization Division of the International Blue Sky Organization. This is Mr. Ekin, Executive Director of the Post-Industrial City Civilization Division. They are on a special trip. I arrived in China from Europe to promote the concept of a post-industrial civilization city. "Xu Yang pointed to two Europeans and introduced to Guo Shuqing.

"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Gusev and Mr. Ekin, and welcome you to teach the Chinese people the concept of post-industrial civilization in Europe." Guo Shuqing shook hands with Gusev and Ekin with greetings and greetings They sit down on the couch, and on the single sofa on the side, this is a courtesy that only VIPs can enjoy.

"Blue Sky is one of the most well-known environmental protection public welfare organizations in the world. It has carried out a large number of environmental protection public welfare activities around the world and is welcomed by people from all countries. This time Mr. Gusev and Mr. Ekin came to China. Blue Sky organized its first trip to China. We in Yiping are very honored to be the first stop of their trip to China. "Xu Yang told Guo Shuqing with a bit of pride.

"Oh, is that it?" Guo Shuqing was really interested. "Our little Yiping city has such a big attraction?"

"I'd like to ask Mr. Gusev to answer this question yourself."

Xu Yang said, and murmured a few words of English to Gusev, Gusev nodded, and began to speak. Xu Yang gave him an interpreter on the side.

"Mr. Guo, our post-industrial urban civilization branch is a branch of Blue Sky that specializes in urban civilization. We have our own interpretation of urban civilization. Our concepts are contrary to today's popular concepts ~ www.novelmtl .com ~ We can confidently say that our ideas are at least 50 years ahead of this era. "Gusev opened his mouth with a tall tone, dazzling Guo Shuqing and Xu Yang. Already.

"Modern cities in the west have emerged along with industrial civilization, such as Birmingham in the United Kingdom and Detroit in the United States. These cities are born of industry and now die of it. The development of industry can bring urban development A large number of people and huge wealth, while depriving humans of the connection with nature, alienated humans into slaves of machinery.

With the advent of the post-industrial era, cities will face a choice whether to let industry squeeze humans out of cities, or human beings squeeze industry out of cities. Unfortunately, cities like Birmingham and Detroit have made the wrong choice and are now facing a severe depression.

For the future of mankind, our post-industrial city civilization division launched a campaign to save cities around the world, hoping to help cities in all countries break free from the magic claws of industrialization and return cities to their original functions. This time we chose Yiping, China, as the first stop of our visit, and we hope to be able to do a pilot project with global significance in a rising industrial city like Yiping. "

Gusev continued to talk, Guo Shuqing sat and listened, his eyes gradually glowed. (To be continued)
