Chapter 687: Being Sold and Helping Count the Money

Li Weidong and Zhao Jinshan came to the mine.

Where's the spy you caught? Zhao Jinshan said excitedly.

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

Zhao Jinshan saw what Li Weidong was thinking, and he explained: I lived in a compound when I was a child, and I liked to play the game of catching spies! None of us in the group wanted to be spies, so we finally decided on rock-paper-scissors. In the end, I always lost, and I was a spy every time, and this time I finally reversed.

The children in the big courtyard are different from others even when playing house. Li Weidong murmured in his heart.

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

Why let a janitor interrogate! Li Weidong asked.

Boss Li, you don't know, this old grandson is not an ordinary gatekeeper. He was a militia captain when he was young, and he really caught a spy. The spy he caught this time was also discovered by the old grandson. .” Lao Zhang 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 tied to a chair with his mouth blocked by a towel, presumably he was the spy.

Next to him is an old man in his early sixties, who should be the old grandson who caught a spy when he was young.

Old Sun, the two bosses are here! Lao Zhang greeted, and Lao Sun quickly greeted him with a smile on his face.

Old Sun, thank you for your hard work. Zhao Jinshan handed Old Sun a cigarette, and then asked, How did you catch this spy?

The old grandson took the cigarette, and said with a showy face; Yesterday, I noticed this man, sneaking around our mine, asking people for nonsense from time to time.

Today this kid sneaked into our mining area and wandered around in a sneaky way. I think this guy is definitely not a good guy, so I wanted to go over and ask.

Said he knew before I could ask a few words, the kid faltered, then ran away, and I immediately caught up. Boss, don't look at me in my sixties, but my legs and feet are very flexible. This kid can't outrun me at all, and I caught up with him!

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

When I 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! The old grandson said, pointing to the table next to him. Then said:

As a result, a bunch of spy tools were found, all on the table! Just the watch he was wearing, with a camera in it, and the pen, with a bug in it!

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 picked up the pen and opened it, and it was indeed a recording device with a twisting battery inside.

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

Old Sun Le said proudly; When I was the captain of the militia, I went to the army to learn how to catch spies. I was interrogating the spies just now. Where did I put the radio!

Okay, you don't want to interrogate, if this kid is really a spy, he has to hand it over to the national security department. Zhao Jinshan smiled, and then ordered; Old Sun, you have worked hard, go to rest first! By the way , Go back to the accountant and get a bonus of 3,000 yuan!

The old grandson happily went to the accountant to receive the bonus, while Li Weidong walked to the young Guo Guo and took out the rag that was stuffed in his mouth.

Cough, cough, cough... The young man coughed for a long time, and then said in a substandard 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 Island! I'm a compatriot! The young man's substandard Mandarin was mixed with some Cantonese.

Zhao Jinshan has done business in Hong Kong Island, so he can speak Cantonese very well, so he asked directly in Cantonese, You said you are a reporter, do you have any documents?

Hearing the Cantonese, the young guy was so excited that he almost cried, he quickly said, I have the ID, it's in my bag, on the table!

Why didn't you take out your ID sooner? Zhao Jinshan said, looked at the black bag on the table, then walked over and began to rummage through it.

The green one! The young man hurriedly added, I showed that uncle, but he didn't recognize him!

Is this it? Zhao Jinshan took out a small green book 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, That's not the case with our press card!

This is not the case for the press card holders on Hong Kong Island! Zhao Jinshan shook his head, and then opened the small green notebook, which was also all in English. Fortunately, Zhao Jinshan knew some English because he had done international business.

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

A freelance reporter is not an official reporter, but a reporter who does not belong to the media. He works on his own, usually does some interviews and reports, and sells them to the media to make money. Li Weidong said.

I understand this. I'm asking what is this Green Warrior organization? 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 organizations! There should be many such environmental organizations abroad. Many of these organizations have received money from the CIA and fanned the flames everywhere. Do things.

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

Yes, our Green Warriors is an international environmental protection organization. I am a freelance reporter for the Green Warriors! I am not a spy! My name is Jiang Yaozu. If you don't believe me, you can call Hong Kong Island and confirm my identity! The young guy finally reported himself. .

Li Weidong looked at this young man named Jiang Yaozu curiously, and then asked: You are an environmental protection organization, you should go to environmental protection, why come to our mine if you have nothing to do?

This... Jiang Yaozu's eyes flickered, hesitant to speak.

It seems that he is still a spy. The identity of a freelance reporter for an environmental protection organization is just a disguise. Li Weidong smiled slightly, then turned to Zhao Jinshan and asked, How many years does our country have to be imprisoned for being a spy?

Then I can't say for sure. The most serious thing is the death penalty! Even if they can live, many of them will be imprisoned for a lifetime! As far as I know, many spies caught in the 1950s are still imprisoned! Zhao Jinshan Sing along with Li Weidong.

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

What does your investigation of pollution have to do with our coal mines? We dig coal without polluting the environment! Zhao Jinshan snorted coldly.

Brother Zhao, strictly speaking, our coal mining will really pollute the environment. Li Weidong paused, and then explained: Not to mention, the harmful gases that are photographed 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, causing air pollution, and some can also destroy the ozone layer . Therefore, it is absolutely unambiguous to say 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 that we wash out of coal will pollute the environment.

Wherever the thing is placed, the land will not be able to grow food. 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 officer Zhao said! Jiang Yaozu, who was tied to the chair, nodded frantically.

Officer Zhao? Is it your leader? Li Weidong continued to ask.

Officer Zhao is the director of our Green Warriors environmental protection organization. He told us that the coal mines in the mainland have caused very serious pollution to the environment. I was appointed by Director Zhao to investigate the pollution of coal mines this time. Jiang Yaozu replied.

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

Because you are a private company, Director Zhao came from the mainland to Hong Kong Island. He knows the mainland well. He said that private companies often do not abide by the state's regulations when mining coal, which will cause relatively large pollution.

Ding Yaozu paused, and then said: Your Dongshan Mining is considered to be the best among private coal companies, and the pollution caused must be the biggest. Director Zhao asked me to come to your place to investigate.

Officer Zhao is still from the mainland? He even went to this kind of international environmental protection organization. I feel that he is full of traitor attributes! Li Weidong thought to himself.

The next second, Li Weidong thought about it, and he immediately showed a surprised expression: Your officer Zhao asked you to come to the mainland to investigate coal mines? Do you have any grudges against this officer Zhao?

No, Officer Zhao is a very nice person. He is very approachable and treats us very well. He often invites us to have afternoon tea! Jiang Yaozu continued: Officer Zhao thinks highly of me, which is why he entrusts such an important investigation task to me. Give it to me!

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

Harmful gases or coal gangue are not unique to our coal mines. American coal mines, European coal mines, Australian coal mines, and Southeast Asian coal mines, which one has no harmful gases? Which has no gangue?

These are the inevitable products of 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 started mining coal.

It is completely meaningless for you to come to us to investigate the pollution of the environment by coal mining. The pollution of the environment by coal mining is a common thing, and it is also known to the whole world. There is nothing worth investigating and reporting, right?

It's like you went to the mainland to do a report that smoking is harmful to your health. Smoking is harmful to health. Even a three-year-old child knows it. It is not a new topic, and even if it is done, it will 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 American smoking harmful to health? Europeans smoking will not be harmful to health? Is Japanese smoking harmful to health?

This kind of problem is common all over the world. Wherever you investigate, isn’t it the same? The conclusions from the investigation are similar, so why bother to come all the way to our place, and even come to our coal mine? Isn't this deliberately asking for trouble!

That's why I'm asking you, do you have any enmity with your Officer Zhao? If there is no enmity between you, why would he send you this troublesome and meaningless job!

Jiang Yaozu was taken aback 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 not been a day or two, is there really not much value worthy of research and investigation? What's the point of coming here to do research?

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

The same is true for the pollution caused by coal mining. Even if an investigative report is made, it seems to be meaningless, and it is a waste of time and energy.

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

When the sky is as dark as crows, who would care if you report on the color of the crows?

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

Li Weidong continued to fan the flames from the side: If you haven't offended Officer Zhao, then there is another possibility.

There is a saying that it is mediocre not to be envied by others. It is because of your outstanding work ability that Director Zhao feels jealous. He is afraid that you will threaten his position after being promoted, so he intentionally harms you, just because he doesn’t want you Make a work achievement!

It makes sense. Someone as outstanding as me will definitely be envied by others! Director Zhao must be worried that I will make achievements and take his place, so he deliberately harmed me and sent me to this bird. A place with shit! Jiang Yaozu nodded approvingly.

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 a formal company after all, and everything must be done according to the rules.

For example, safety supervision, environmental protection and other departments will come to check every month. If problems are found, they will be fined at least, or suspended for rectification. Even if we want to violate the regulations, there is no such condition.

If you really want to do in-depth excavation reports, you should not come to our formal coal mines, but to those irregular black coal mines, where there are many problems. If you dig deep, you can definitely make a report. Big news!

Irregular black coal mine? Is the environmental pollution there serious? Jiang Yaozu asked subconsciously.

Not only the pollution problem, but also many other problems! For example, the use of slave labor, forced labor, and concealment of mine accidents are all possible!

If this is caught by you, it will definitely be shocking news, it will definitely cause a sensation, and it is possible to win news awards! At that time, in front of Director Zhao, I can feel proud! Li Weidong said.

Hearing that he won the news award, Jiang Yaozu was a little moved.

However, Li Weidong changed his voice and continued, However, I don't recommend that you investigate black coal mines. It is illegal to open black coal mines. These people don't talk about the law! If you really investigate black coal mines, I'm afraid you will It's dangerous! Don't go there, safety first!

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

Li Weidong looked Jiang Yaozu up and down intentionally, and then said: If you really want to investigate the black coal mine, you can't do it like this now. With your investigation method, even our janitor can catch you. Going to investigate the black coal mine is not going to die! I think you have other methods? For example...

Like what? Jiang Yaozu immediately asked.

You must have watched Infernal Affairs, right? How did Zeng Zhiwei get arrested? It was because of being an undercover agent! Li Weidong said.

Jiang Yaozu nodded suddenly: I understand, if I want to investigate the black coal mine, I should learn from Liang Chaowei and go undercover 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 investigate black coal mines?

Don't you think that the problem of black coal mines should be dealt with? These years, the harm caused by black coal mines is not small! Li Weidong paused, and then said; There are many black coal mines in our territory. I check every year, but I can't finish it every year.

When the inspectors came, the mine owner shut down the black coal mine. After the inspectors left, they immediately reopened the mine, completely guerrilla against the inspectors. What's more, some black coal mines already have a local umbrella, so they have no fear at all.

The black coal mine should be thoroughly rectified. But then again, how can those who dare to open the black coal mine abide by the law? Some are even desperadoes. If this young man who has no experience in the world investigates the black coal mine, maybe he will follow the law. People were really buried alive! Zhao Jinshan shook his head and said.

It's only young men who are not well-versed in the world who dare to investigate black coal mines, but whoever has some social experience, who dares to investigate? Don't die! Haven't you watched Infernal Affairs? The undercover agents are all picked from the police academy. Why? Young people are so foolish! Li Weidong curled his lips.

But what if things really get serious? After all, he is from Hong Kong Island, and there is some 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 strong men cut their wrists and resolve to rectify those black coal mines. The people behind the black coal mines Those umbrellas dare not act rashly. What's more, the attack on black coal mines is also beneficial to the healthy development of our country's coal industry.

Zhao Jinshan looked at Li Weidong in bewilderment, and said in his heart that today's Li Weidong is really enlightened, and his whole body is glowing with the light of righteousness!

However, in the next second, Li Weidong went on to say: When the black coal mines are successfully attacked, those who go to the black coal mines to buy coal can only come to regular coal mines like ours. At that time, not only will our coal sales be better, but the price will also increase. It has to go up a lot more!

This is your real intention! Zhao Jinshan curled his lips, and the light of righteousness disappeared instantly.

Looking at the direction where Jiang Yaozu left, Zhao Jinshan couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

This poor child, who was sold and helped count the money!
