Chapter 2858

Everyone looked toward Zhou Andong, Ye Zhen's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Did something happen?"

Zhou Andong nodded, took out a cigarette and lit one: "It's not a small matter, but it has nothing to do with you, just a significant impact on the liquor industry."

Qin Zhi asked curiously: "What matter?"

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "A distillery in Jin Province exploded, causing a major accident with forty-six casualties."

"Damn it!" Zhang Zuo exclaimed in shock: "So many people died, what caused the explosion?"

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "The raw material crushing workshop had a dust explosion, multiple dust collectors were just for show, no explosion relief panels, no explosion suppression devices, not even an alarm function.

Even more terrifying, the workshop wires were bare, without explosion-proof hoses. And the cause of the explosion was exactly the bare wires oxidizing and sparking, thus triggering the dust explosion."

Ye Zhen said solemnly: "Over forty injured or dead, such a major accident will certainly attract national attention. Soon, distilleries nationwide will face the strictest safety inspections. I estimate a large batch of small and medium liquor enterprises will be shut down."

"Not just distilleries!" Zhou Dong said: "Oil pressing plants, drying plants, flour mills will definitely be included in the safety production inspection focus."

While Zhou Andong was waiting for the waiter to bring the newspaper, the State Administration of Work Safety meeting room.

Bureau Chief Huang Minsheng glanced angrily at the people below: "Everyone has seen the investigation report, some enterprises can't even be bothered to pretend. Some distilleries spot-checked had dust concentrations high enough to ignite a cigarette, yet the dust collectors were just for show, key alarm functions missing, air purge, pressure differential, back-blowing all absent, equivalent to using timed bombs as ordinary equipment..."

Huang Minsheng spoke very seriously, his fingers heavily tapping the tabletop, producing a tapping sound, indicating his inner anger at this moment: "Our investigation team found that these enterprises, emergency plans were all written on paper, risk identification relied on guessing, confined space operations had no approval, no gas detection, no supervisors.

Asking about rectification implementation, the person in charge hemmed and hawed for half a day, couldn't even say which opinion in the acceptance report was corrected and which wasn't. This is not a matter of ability, but of not taking it seriously at all. One could say, liquor enterprises' safety awareness is completely out of control, broken links, on-site management失守, emergency response ineffective, input guarantees lacking."

Saying this, Huang Minsheng heavily pointed his finger at the investigation report in front of him: "Safety is no joking matter, the bottom line is not to fake it, those who fake it must take responsibility. From falsifying test reports to missing non-destructive testing, the main responsible persons providing false certification documents must be strictly investigated and punished.

You must clearly know, this serious production accident that occurred, causing major casualties, is not an accident, but human-caused. Next, we will conduct a major safety inspection on liquor enterprises nationwide, including oil pressing plants, drying plants, flour mills.

You must remember, this is not going through the motions, nor nitpicking, but drawing a red line. The primary responsibility of enterprises is not just stamping a seal or filling a form. Rectification is not waiting for inspection to come sweep the floor and stick labels, but installing pressure sensors, setting up explosion relief ports properly, making employee training solid, and truly drilling the emergency plan."

In the meeting room of several dozen people, only Huang Minsheng's voice echoed, but the people below each had their own thoughts. This time, the distillery dust explosion in Jin Province will definitely lead to some local officials being dealt with.

Next, the positions vacated in Jin Province will naturally be arranged for our own people. Of course, those whose interests are not in Jin Province will strive for the inspection team slots. Know that this is a fat posting, going down for a trip, the oil and grease in their bellies could let them go two years without eating.

Yangcheng!

The waiter knocked and entered, placing the newspaper in front of Zhou Dong: "Zhou Dong, this is today's people's newspaper."

"Thank you!" Zhou Dong voiced his thanks, opened the newspaper, he hadn't yet seen the news about the Jin Province distillery explosion, when a photo on the second edition headline immediately caught his eye, then he let out a hey laugh.

"Heh heh heh..." Zhou Dong said with audible tsking: "The photo still looks quite good, the photo looks more pleasing than the actual person."

"What photo?" Zhang Zuo curiously stood up, his big head leaning over.

Sitting beside him, Ye Jun impolitely slapped Zhang Zuo's head: "Get lost, I'm picking vegetables in front of you."

"Damn it!" Zhang Zuo unwilling to show weakness slapped Ye Jun's head with a slap, pa! a very loud sound, making Ye Jun's head shake: "Ye Jun, did I give you face, dare to hit me."

"Your mother!" Ye Jun, dazed from the hit, immediately jumped up, grabbed Zhang Zuo's collar and was about to fight.

"Ye Jun!" Ye Zhen shouted sternly: "What do you want to do, let go for me!"

Ye Jun shouted with neck strained: "You didn't see, he hit me!"

Ye Zhen's emotions were very stable, her voice without fluctuation said: "I saw, it was you who moved first."

Ye Zhen didn't say more, but this calm tone made Ye Jun shudder involuntarily, without hesitation let go, still patted Zhang Zuo's shoulder, then squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Brothers, just joking, everyone keep eating."

Zhang Zuo rolled his eyes, just opened his mouth to speak, when a pair of chopsticks smashed into his face, immediately followed by Zhou Dong's voice: "You'd better shut up!"

Zhang Zuo had the words already at his throat, immediately swallowed them down, but still glared at Zhou Dong unwillingly, then sat down, picked up a piece of roasted goose and put it in his mouth, took a hard bite.

"Eh!" At this moment, Ye Zhen let out an eh, very surprised saying: "Yinxuan, how did he get wanted, why didn't the Yin family intervene?"

"I had a little unpleasantness with Yinxuan, he took out 200,000 to hire someone to assassinate me." Zhou Dong sighed, said with a helpless face: "I estimate he knows the matter has been exposed, so he fled. As for why the Yin family didn't intervene, probably the police didn't give them face."

This time, not only Ye Zhen, but also Ye Jun and Qin Zhi were shocked. They never dreamed Yinxuan would have such guts, dare to hire assassins to kill, and the target was Zhou Andong.

Ye Zhen laughed: "Also right, Yinxuan actually hired assassins to kill you, the impact is really too bad. Especially now your identity, status and influence are too great, if the municipal bureau suppresses this case due to Yin family pressure, would you swallow this anger?"

Zhou Dong snorted coldly: "Whoever wants to press down my Zhou Andong's head and make me eat dumb loss hasn't been born yet."

"So!" Ye Zhen said laughing: "Yue Guoqiang is no fool, how could he offend you over a sentence from the Yin family. If he really suppressed this case, once exposed, public opinion pressure could make Yue Guoqiang vomit blood. Moreover, his relationship with you is so good, it's impossible for him to share pants with the Yin family."

"Damn it!" Qin Zhi cursed: "Also don't know where Yinxuan is hiding, I'll call a few friends later, tell them to pay attention, if they know Yinxuan's whereabouts report immediately."

Hearing Qin Zhi's words, Zhang Zuo let out a hey laugh: "In this lifetime you won't find him domestically."
