What Li Xuan did not know was that the pollution incident in another time and space was not exposed until 1994, ten years later. The company at that time was first acquired by GE, and later sold to Thomson in France.

And the factory in Taiwan was completely shut down in 199, two years before the incident was exposed. And even after this serious pollution incident was exposed, apart from causing an uproar in Taiwan, it was almost silent in the United States and Europe.

What is even more ironic is that later companies also played the environmental protection brand and implemented the so-called "product regeneration management plan" for all their home appliances, in order to emphasize the protection of the earth's resources and put a noble layer on themselves. coat.

However, the direct victims of the pollution incident at the Taoyuan General Plant have never been treated fairly. The American ge company and the French Thomson company, which have successively acquired the company, are multinational groups with extensive influence.

Under their operation, not only did the impact of this incident not spread to places outside Taiwan, thus dragging down the company's brand image, and even the Taiwan authorities were under a lot of pressure. In the 15 years since the incident, civil claims have been repeatedly rejected by Taiwanese courts.

By the time the victims of the incident finally arrived at the belated justice, the company had already completed the malicious termination of production, and had successfully remitted up to 100 million Taiwan dollars of foreign exchange to a French bank in advance. The remaining funds in the Taiwanese company's account are only a pitiful NT$10,000, which is just over US$10,000 in US dollars.

But this life Li Xuan is facing the situation. No doubt much worse! Because the media that exposes pollution incidents is CBS TV, one of the three major TV stations in the United States. Other American media that smelled fishy. There will be a crazy moral trial of the company and the Oriental Group soon!

What's more, this is not an accidental exposure incident, but it is very likely that the competitors of the Oriental Group have deliberately dug a hole! Therefore, Li Xuan decided to take the initiative to respond. Instead of blaming procrastination.

It has only been 4 hours since the "Sixty Minutes" column of cbs TV station exposed the long-term malicious discharge of toxic and hazardous production waste by the Taiwan branch, causing a serious ecological disaster to the local area. An update is broadcast.

The company announced that all its factories in Taiwan have implemented an emergency shutdown. At the same time, the company took the initiative to report to the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency, expressing that it would cooperate with the investigation of the Taiwan authorities with the greatest sincerity.

At the same time, the owner of the company, Mr. Li Xuan, the world's richest man, also flew to Taiwan immediately to deal with the emergency in person. He said in an interview with reporters at Taoyuan International Airport. He personally expressed his shock that Taiwanese factories have had such serious malicious violations for a long time.

At the same time, he is also ashamed that the Oriental Group still failed to detect these bad behaviors even after acquiring the company for a year. Mr. Li Xuan also said that Dongfang Group has always been a responsible enterprise and is willing to assume all necessary responsibilities!

After the incident was exposed, the company was bound to be in a disadvantageous position. The first thing Li Xuan had to do was to regain the direction of public opinion. Therefore, the company's TV station took the initiative to follow up, and sent back a detailed follow-up report from the scene in Taiwan as soon as possible.

In fact, none of the three major broadcasters in the United States has ever set up a reporter station in Taiwan. The television industry in the United States had to wait until the advent of n before it would spread its editorial network globally. And the TV station because of Li Xuan's relationship. It has a close cooperative relationship with Hong Kong Asia Satellite TV, which belongs to the same boss.

A female reporter who held a microphone with a Taiwan logo at Taoyuan Airport and interviewed Li Xuan on the spot as a TV reporter. In fact, it is an employee of Asia Satellite TV. The ATV interview team even went to Taiwan directly with Li Xuan on his private jet.

Likewise, the speed at which ATV reports on pollution incidents in Taiwanese factories. It is even one step faster than the three major local snakes, Taiwan Television, China Television and China Television. The speed of information dissemination in the 1980s was not as fast as it was three or four years later.

The three local TV stations in Taiwan have not had time to know about the distant United States. A major environmental scandal related to Taiwan broke out a few hours ago. Even if they stationed reporter stations in the United States, they mainly focus on breaking political news. It is simply impossible to keep an eye on all the programs of various American television stations all the time.

The Taiwanese media didn't realize the difference until the Taiwan branch completed the shutdown of each factory and carried out the necessary emergency aftermath internally, and then notified Taiwan's Environmental Protection Agency.

Although the company stated that it will actively cooperate with the investigation of the Taiwan authorities with the greatest sincerity. But that's just a gesture, Li Xuan naturally wouldn't be really stupid and let the relevant departments of the Taiwan authorities turn the Taiwan company upside down.

The first thing he did after arriving in Taiwan was to personally go to the Taoyuan General Factory on Zhongshan Road, Taoyuan City to conduct a field inspection. The Taoyuan General Plant has long dumped the toxic and hazardous wastes produced in industrial production into deep wells dug by itself, causing serious chemical pollution of the surrounding soil and groundwater.

What made Li Xuan even more troublesome was that the dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene~www.readwn.com~ and other organic solvents contained in these wastes all have a high probability of causing cancer. However, most of the ordinary employees in the Taoyuan General Plant and the surrounding residents drink the polluted groundwater for a long time. The resulting number of people suffering from cancer, even the company does not know.

"We have notified the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health, and the Labor Committee. The Executive Yuan held an emergency meeting on the 12th at noon, and appointed Zhan Minshan, a member of the department, as the general manager, and set up a special investigation team to investigate!" Taiwan branch Bill, the general manager of , reported to Li Xuan in English.

The Taiwanese company broke into such a serious disaster, and more importantly, the management of the branch company has always been very aware of the serious harm of the factory's sneaky waste discharge. For example, the managers of the factory never drink the groundwater in the factory, but allocate special funds every year to purchase mineral water.

This made Li Xuan very disgusted with these people. The internal investigation team sent by the Oriental Group from Hong Kong took over the operation of the Taiwan branch immediately after arriving in Taiwan with Li Xuan. If it wasn't for the fact that he still needed to know the actual situation from the original management, Li Xuan had no interest in meeting these people at all.

After listening to the undisguised report of the person in charge of the Taiwan side, Li Xuan realized that the matter was much more troublesome than he had expected! The calamity accumulated by the Taiwanese company for more than ten years may require him to spend tens of millions or even over 100 million dollars to deal with the aftermath! (To be continued..)
