Vol 5 Chapter 475: Crisis

Fan Heng was stunned after the news of the successful listing of Tesse’s company returned to China. It is hard to imagine that just a message of signing a purchase and sale contract could make Fantasy’s stock listing such a huge success. .

"It feels like you are scamming money--" Fan Heng said to his son Fan Wuyi.

Fan Wubing smiled and corrected it, "It's circumventing money, not cheating money. Only asking for money without return is called cheating. The profitability of our company is predictable, but it has not been shown for the time being, but our After all, there are mines in our hands, with amazing reserves and high quality. This is the basis for us. As for the huge orders from China’s Big Six, it is to give Australians a shot to give them a boost to Fantasy The prospects and sales channels are full of confidence."

If there are resources in the first hand, and secondly, the sales of these resources are guaranteed, then do I still need to worry about the money? Investors have such a mentality, and naturally they want to pursue Fantasy's stock.

"How is the situation in Jiangnan Province?" Fan Wuyin stayed in Beijing for a while, then went to Shanghai for a while, and when he returned to Jiangnan, it was already April.

Speaking of Jiangnan Province, Fan Hyung frowned and said, "Everything else is fine, that is, the abnormal climate problem you mentioned is more serious. The impact of the El Niño phenomenon has been fully demonstrated. It is estimated that this year is very likely to occur. The flood disaster predicted is not small, and the scale is not small."

On New Year's Day, the state promulgated the flood law, which was the first time that flood control was upgraded to legal provisions. This shows that the high-level government's estimate of the flood fighting situation this year has been raised by more than one level.

In fact, since the beginning of the nineteenths, there have been four major floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Floods are fighting almost every year, but the situation is still under control. After all, the many reservoirs along the coast have played a big role.

But this year’s situation is special. First, El Nino and then La Nina are affected by the global abnormal climate. Without continuous concentrated rainfall, floods in the Yangtze and Nenjiang rivers will certainly not occur. From this perspective, the main cause of the 1998 floods was natural disasters.

On the one hand, if it is not that the forest vegetation in the middle and upper reaches of the river has been severely damaged, if it is not for the massive reclamation of downstream lakes, if it is not for the rapid increase in water and soil erosion that has caused serious siltation of the river, if it is not that the flood diversion area is blindly occupied and cannot be activated, it is impossible. When rainfall and flow have not broken records, and the water level has repeatedly hit high and new levels, it is impossible for the flood to continue for two months and flood peaks raging eight times.

Upstream ecological vegetation: destruction is also an important reason for flood diversion areas. But many people may not notice it. The destruction of ecological vegetation land is directly related to the one-sided publicity of the achievements of forestry land.

According to the information published by the State Forestry Administration. By 1993. China has already got rid of the declining forest area and stock volume and entered the "double growth" era. The forest area of ​​the country has increased from 0.8 billion hectares at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic to 137 million hectares. The forest coverage rate has increased from 8.7% to 13.92%. Since 1993, it has maintained the annual performance of planting more than 3.6 million hectares of trees. In 1994, Guangdong, Fujian, and Hunan declared that barren hills suitable for forests were basically eliminated. Anhui and other provinces also announced the elimination of barren hills suitable for forestry.

Good news about forest land is often seen in the news media. Ordinary people can only draw the conclusion that the forest situation in our country is very good or is moving towards a very good situation.

But experts who know the inside story are worried. Just a little deeper analysis. You know what the problem of forestry propaganda is.

In addition to the statistics of the State Forestry Administration. There is another set of figures listed in the Guangming Daily by the Water and Soil Conservation Department of the Ministry of Water Resources. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the area of ​​woodland in the twelve provinces in the Yangtze River Basin dropped by an average of 6 to 8 per thousand per year.

Assuming that the State Forestry Administration's land figures are on the ground. So the extent of forest growth is indeed gratifying if the Ministry of Water Resources Department of Soil and Water Conservation figures are on the ground. The figure that the national forest area has increased by more than 70% compared with the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China is worthy of scrutiny.

What was cut down was the old forest that shaded the sky, but the sparse young and middle-aged forest was planted. Therefore, even if the area is increased, the quality of forests and forestry productivity will definitely drop sharply, so that loggers often complain that it is difficult to find decent forest materials.

What needs to be pointed out in particular is that a large number of virgin forests known as ecological treasures and animal paradise in the middle and upper reaches of the rivers of northeast, southwest, and central south of our country have been destroyed, leaving behind irreparable debts, even if 100% of the greening in the future is still Not on this account. Because the primeval forest is the green crystallization of the earth's hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the comprehensive ecological function of the primeval forest is incomparable to the artificial forest, and the primeval forest and its functions cannot be replicated. In terms of water holding alone, the water holding capacity of a better natural forest canopy is seven or eight times higher than that of a planted forest.

The effective water storage capacity of the soil is six or seven times higher than that of the planted forest.

From the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the present, the number of virgin forests in our country has been cut down and destroyed. This number may become a mystery, and the number of natural forests remaining today is still unknown. The people concerned have always been not interested in these figures. They are only interested in the area of ​​afforestation, how much it increases each year, how much the total increase in how many years, and then promotes "brilliant achievements", and so on.

It is precisely because of years of one-sided promotion of the performance of afforestation, and even intentionally or unintentionally exaggerating this performance, many people are obsessed with the pursuit of afforestation area, coverage rate, growth rate, several major afforestation projects, and the like. However, the issue behind "performance" has been evasive or indifferent. As a result, it has misled public opinion and made some measures that should have been introduced earlier, such as stopping logging of natural forests, closing hills for afforestation, and increasing forestry investment, have not been introduced, thus increasing forest vegetation. The deterioration.

This phenomenon is more serious even in Jiangnan Province where the mountain and forest land is relatively intact.

Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing, "I did a helicopter survey on the environment in the province. It is true that the forest coverage rate is high, but those decimals have no effect at all. It is nothing more than making the land green. Speaking of the role of soil and water conservation, hum, can the turf hold the soil and water? It's just a dream!"

"No one can do this. Trees can't grow up in a day--" Fan Wubing shook his head after hearing this. After all, the economic benefits in it are huge. Saplings have achieved political success. It is in the interests of local officials to cut down large trees and plant small ones. How can you ask them to work hard to solve the problem of soil and water conservation?

Promotion and wealth is the first priority, and everything else is secondary.

In fact, the misleading nature of propaganda and the emphasis on exaggerating achievements go beyond forestry and water conservancy, and similar problems exist in many fields. For example, those engaged in agriculture only talk about expanding the arable land and increasing the output of food, not about how many forests, lakes, wetlands, and grasslands have been cultivated. Those engaged in industry only talk about how much output value profits and taxes have been increased, not about how much debt or resources were wasted.

And all aspects of work and achievements are emphasized. Agriculture talks about increasing production, forestry talks about afforestation, water conservancy talks about how many reservoirs are built, how much arable land is protected, and environmental protection talks about pollution control, there are as many institutions as there are fields, and there are as many political achievements as there are institutions. The political performance is again derived using the plane progressive inference algorithm.

Planting area, soil and water conservation area, net income per capita, and output value can all be derived in this way.

There are other "political achievements" that are "worked" at the cost, but the price paid is often not mentioned in publicity or reporting, but only the "political achievements" made.

Just as Su Shi of the Song Dynasty criticized some officials’ methods of requesting rewards for meritorious service at that time, “exchanging one cow for five sheep, the loss of one cow, concealing the loss of one cow, but not talking about it, but referring to the gains of the five sheep as merits.” Some practices like this add. It is impossible for a higher level to grasp one level and one level to be accountable to the next level. In a certain sense, this year's flood disaster is the bitter fruit of the long-term outstanding achievements of the relevant parties and the accumulation of problems to cover up the problems.

"Actually, there are also problems in the use of floodplains." Fan Wubing thought about www.wuxiamtl.com and said to Fan Heng, "The United States, like China, has large rivers and floodplains with a wide range. But As early as the 1950s, Americans realized that despite the government's investment in flood control projects, flood losses are still increasing. The reason is the unconventional use of land in floodplains. Government use The cost of flood control and disaster relief is the money of all taxpayers. Why do a few people go to the floodplain to show up, but all taxpayers are required to provide protection for them and take risks for them? So the United States will strengthen the floodplain Management is included in the system of flood prevention and disaster reduction. A series of laws and regulations restricting the use of floodplains have been formulated. After many twists and turns, a national compulsory flood insurance system has been established. The idea is that although land prices in floodplains are cheap, The higher the flood risk, the higher the insurance premium rate, which can reduce the attractiveness of the floodplain. Those who do not participate in the national flood insurance will no longer receive the federal government's relief after the disaster."

Fan Heng nodded and replied after hearing his son's words, "The truth is very clear, but it is not suitable for China's national conditions! It is not easy for ordinary people to make some money. If you want them to pay, it will be even more difficult. And this rural area Awareness is also stronger. To solve this problem, it is not that simple."

Fan Wubing said, "As long as the high-level determination is strong enough, this problem is not difficult to solve. The question is whether anyone is willing to take the responsibility."
