Chapter 2985

Just looking at the first impression, Guan Tongfu had a good impression of Su Xinghui and Xin Jing because he felt that environmental protection was a very young science, and only officials as young as Su Xinghui could understand his academics.

Su Xinghui raised a glass of wine and said, "Dr. Guan, welcome back to China! I toast you!"

Guan Tongfu raised a glass of drink and said, "Mayor Su, I don't drink alcohol, so I'll use this instead."

Su Xinghui smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, no problem."

Xin Jing said, "Dr. Guan, can you really treat heavy metal pollution in the soil? The problem of heavy metal pollution in Baozhou is already very serious."

Guan Tongfu said, "Theoretically, it is feasible, but I can't make a conclusion yet. I have to go to the scene to investigate and test, and then after the experiment, I can make a conclusion."

Guan Tongfu's attitude made Su Xinghui nod repeatedly. Guan Tongfu didn't brag, and he spoke very rigorously. Su Xinghui appreciated this style very much. This meant that Guan Tongfu's academic style must also be very rigorous. People with such an academic style often have real skills.

Because Guan Tongfu didn't drink alcohol, this meal was eaten very quickly. After eating, Su Xinghui opened a room for Guan Tongfu at the municipal government reception house to let him rest here. They agreed to go to the scene tomorrow morning.

Afterward, Su Xinghui chatted with Yu Ruizhi in his room. Yu Ruizhi said that if the conditions were suitable, he would invest in Guan Tongfu's company to treat heavy metal pollution in Baozhou City.

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, I really have to thank you for this matter. The heavy metal pollution problem in Baozhou is really very serious, and it has reached the point where it must be treated. If this Dr. Guan really has a way to treat heavy metal pollution here, it will be a gospel for the people of Baozhou."

Yu Ruizhi said, "I also met Dr. Guan by chance. I just remembered that you were worried about the heavy metal pollution problem that time, so I talked to him. I don't know if he can do it."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "If he can really treat heavy metal pollution, then your investment, Brother Yu, will not lose money, but will have a great return. Our Baozhou municipal government will sign a contract with their company, and the contract amount will be very large."

Treating heavy metal pollution is a highly technical job. It can be said that only experts like Guan Tongfu can do this job. Basically, there is no competition. Due to the high technical content, the contract amount will certainly not be small, and the profit will also be very high.

However, for the Baozhou municipal government, this work must be done because the harm caused by heavy metal pollution is too great. The soil and groundwater polluted by it are difficult to fully restore. Heavy metals are very easy to accumulate in the soil and are also very easy to be absorbed by animals and plants, accumulating in the bodies of animals and plants.

Many of these animals and plants are human food, such as fish, seafood, and various agricultural products, which are very easy to accumulate heavy metals. People eat such food, and heavy metals enter the human body. It is very difficult to discharge them out of the body. Once accumulated to a certain concentration, it will have a very large impact on human health.

In fact, in the current Baozhou City, many people living around those mining areas have already contracted various diseases.

Now the Baozhou municipal government has begun to treat these victimized people, is gradually relocating them to unpolluted areas, and is helping them find cleaner water sources. However, to eradicate pollution, it is necessary to treat these polluted areas.

Yu Ruizhi said, "That's a good thing. It can treat heavy metal pollution and make money. This is killing two birds with one stone."

Su Xinghui said, "But this money is not easy to earn. The initial investment of such a company is also very large. This doesn't put any pressure on you, right?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "There is no pressure. I still have a lot of cash on hand now."

Yu Ruizhi made a lot of profit in the Asian financial crisis in the past few years. In the past few years, he has invested in the tourism industry in several places and opened many factories. Now these tourist scenic spots and factories have entered the mature stage and are beginning to make profits. The cash flow is flowing back, so Yu Ruizhi has a huge amount of funds on hand.

This is also the reason why he is looking for good projects to invest in now. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have met Guan Tongfu.

Because Yu Ruizhi always remembered Su Xinghui's words, Su Xinghui asked him to invest in some high-tech industries and cooperate with some scientists. That's why Yu Ruizhi met Guan Tongfu.

Su Xinghui said a few more words to Yu Ruizhi, then got up and said, "Brother Yu, then you should also rest early. Tomorrow we will go to the scene to have a look together."

The next day, Su Xinghui and Xin Jing came to the municipal government reception house early in the morning, accompanied Yu Ruizhi and Guan Tongfu for breakfast, and then went to the Baota Mountain Gold Mine in the western suburbs of Baozhou City together.

The Baota Mountain Gold Mine was the former Dacheng Mining Co., Ltd. After Zhang Dacheng was arrested, Dacheng Mining Co., Ltd. had been nationalized. Because it was located on Baota Mountain in the western suburbs of Baozhou, it was renamed Baota Mountain Gold Mine.

The Baota Mountain Gold Mine was already overhauling equipment and preparing to install new environmental protection equipment, after which it could resume production.

Before long, the car drove to the Baota Mountain Gold Mine. Looking at Baota Mountain from a distance, it looked like a towering pagoda, which is how Baota Mountain got its name.

Mine Manager Li of the gold mine was already waiting at the foot of the mountain. When the cars Su Xinghui and Xin Jing were riding in drove to the foot of the mountain, Mine Manager Li got into his own car and led the way in front. Before long, they arrived at the gold mine.

Xin Jing said, "Mine Manager Li, take Dr. Guan to see the wastewater pond and the waste residue pond."

Mine Manager Li nodded and led the group to the wastewater pond and waste residue pond behind the mountain.

When everyone saw the wastewater pond and waste residue pond behind the mountain, their expressions could not help but become solemn.

The wastewater pond and waste residue pond here were huge in area. Because they were all large pits dug directly with excavators and were not built with bricks and cement, after being shut down for so long and not having rained for a long time, the wastewater pond was close to drying up, but the pond walls were pitch black, and the residual wastewater at the bottom of the pond emitted a foul smell. One could imagine what the scene here would be like if it started to rain.
