Who is the blacksmith behind the scenes

Ground bar steel, an irregular steel slab product that has almost disappeared from sight, is now reappearing in Yandan Town, Yancheng.

Recently, some people have reported that Longxin Special Steel Co., Ltd., located in Yandan Town, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, has ignored the national decree and is still producing steel bars. On January 3, the reporter went to Longxin Special Steel Co., Ltd. to conduct an on-site interview. At the company’s door, the reporter saw more than a dozen long trucks pulling steel billets parked on both sides of the road. After chatting with the truck drivers, the trucks were loaded with more than 2,000 tons of billets and were destined for Jiangsu’s Shuyang County.

Since Loncin Special Steel Co., Ltd. was reconstructed from an old cement factory, it had multiple doors. No one was guarded except for the main entrance. The reporter entered the company without encountering any obstacles. There are several grey buildings in the middle of the towering area, and there are sewage, rotten rubbish, and crushed iron scraps everywhere in the factory building. They move a little and the dust is suffocating.

Inside the factory building, busy workers are everywhere, some lifting steel billets in the car, some lifting steel scraps, and others repairing and installing equipment. None of these workers have taken any security measures. Even the helmets are not worn by anyone.

“Because of the serious pollution, we are afraid of local people petitioning and environmental protection departments to inspect. We usually produce at night. From 8pm to 8am, it takes 12 hours to produce more than 400 tons of steel billets a day.” The Sichuan worker who revealed his name told the reporter.

According to the whistleblower's report, the company was already on the verge of bankruptcy. Later, with the introduction of the local government, a businessman named Zhao was recruited from Zhejiang. Under the conditions of promising various kinds of preferential policies, the company was rejuvenated. Currently, it is still working. Prepare to expand and expand the production scale of rolling mills.

This statement was confirmed by the deputy general manager of Jianhu Longxin Special Steel Co., Ltd. He said that the plant was going to close down last year and Yan Danzhen’s government later introduced more than 80 million yuan from Zhejiang to make the plant back to life. However, It is more than two billion in foreign investment. According to the disclosure, up to now, the company's steel-making environmental assessment procedures have not yet come down, and now it is using the casting environmental impact assessment issued by the local government.

Some people in the vicinity told us that since the company was established, the surrounding people’s living environment has been seriously polluted. The strong smoke and dust produced during the production of the company could not be dispersed for a long time when there was no wind, and the spikes of the steel collision were mixed with the roar of the machine, making the surrounding people uneasy. Some people also suffer from respiratory diseases.

Then, why was such a high-pollution, high-hazard company not banned? With all sorts of questions, the reporter came to the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau of Jianhu County, Yancheng and met with Wang Xinsheng. “I haven’t transferred here for half a year. I don’t know much about the specific situation here, but all companies that build the lake are under our surveillance. We will never allow any companies to illegally produce or allow a steel bar to flow into the market. , It does not allow the existence of the steel bar." Wang Xinsheng said. Subsequently, Wang Xinsheng said that he will immediately arrange inspection of the captain of the brigade and go to the law enforcement inspection and ask the reporter to go with them. However, after Wang Xinsheng reported to the county leader in charge, he changed his mouth to allow reporters to rest at the hotel and inform him of the results of the inspection.

However, until he left the country, the inspection results of Deputy Director Wang did not come out. Subsequently, the reporter told reporters that more than 2,000 tons of strip steel mysteriously disappeared under the supervision of law enforcement officers. In view of the above situation, the reporter dialed the report from the Yancheng Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau and reported to a female operator named Li. The staff member told reporters that the inspectors would soon contact the reporter. Later, the reporter contacted the reporter again and again, but he could not be connected, let alone the result.

According to the normal process, a company from the establishment of the project, environmental assessment, access to production, any link should be checked by the relevant departments. However, in Yancheng, these are incredible.
