Before boarding the plane, Li Xuan took the initiative to have a phone call with the newly-appointed Executive Yuan, who had just assumed office in June this year, and explained to the President Yu in detail the possible serious pollution problems that may exist at the Taoyuan General Plant in Taiwan, and for the I sincerely apologize for the poor supervision of myself and the Oriental Group. [For more wonderful novels, please visit].

Therefore, the Executive Yuan temporarily held an emergency meeting at noon. At the meeting, the director of the Environmental Protection Agency was publicly named and criticized. Finally, it was decided to set up a special investigation team headed by Political Councilor Zhan Minshan to deal with the pollution incident.

The Taiwan-Taiwan Executive Yuan consists of one president, one vice president, one secretary general, and five to seven administrative members. The level of the political councilor, the state councilor who is responsible for the country, is half a level higher than that of ordinary ministers, which shows how much the Taiwan authorities attach to this incident!

The Department of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency then instructed Taiwan-Wanwan University to send an exploration team composed of professors and experts to sample and analyze the soil and groundwater around the Taoyuan General Plant. In the groundwater samples around the Taoyuan General Plant, the detected toxic and harmful substances exceeded the standard value by 1,000 times!

Even at a distance of two kilometers from the factory, the harmful substances in the groundwater samples exceeded the standard value by hundreds of times! This is no longer environmental pollution in a small area, but an ecological disaster that may spread to dozens of square kilometers around!

Therefore, this pollution incident cannot be overemphasized. Li Xuan naturally has to give an explanation for such a major flaw in the company!

In his previous call with President Yu, he said that after the Oriental Group acquired the company, it actually began to rectify the company immediately. But control a market cap in the billions of dollars. Multinational companies with operations all over the world are by no means an easy task.

Eastern Group after completing the adjustment of the company's North American business. It has just begun to conduct self-examination and self-correction of various overseas branches. Nixon, the former general manager of the Taiwan branch, was soon found to have some problems. And Nixon realized something was wrong. He immediately submitted his resignation to the U.S. headquarters.

Then he wanted to make himself stand on the moral high ground by actively exposing the Taiwan branch's long-standing illegal discharge of hazardous waste to cbs TV station, so as to escape the company's follow-up accountability to him.

The illegal pollution problems in the past ten years have nothing to do with Li Xuan. The only thing he needs to explain to the Taiwan authorities is why, a year after the acquisition of the company, the Oriental Group still failed to detect the problem in time.

The explanation given by Li Xuan is actually a bit far-fetched, but at least it gives the Taiwan authorities a step down! After the Taiwan authorities have a full understanding of the seriousness of the matter, the anger and dissatisfaction can be imagined! Not long after NTU's test report came out. The former director of the Environmental Protection Agency was immediately suspended and will likely be prosecuted for malfeasance!

For the Taiwan authorities, what to do next with the company is also a thorny issue. Before the company was acquired by the Oriental Group, it was a giant company with a market value of NT$200 billion (US$5 billion).

Moreover, the company is also one of the earliest US-funded enterprises to start large-scale investment in Taiwan. The annual economic output contributed by its Taiwan branch has always exceeded NT$10 billion.

The Taiwan branch has also been rated as a model foreign-invested enterprise by the government for many times in a row. The result is now this paradigm. But he gave the Taiwan side a slap in the face!

The Taiwan authorities did not dare to slap back, because although the company has been acquired by the Hong Kong Oriental Group, its main body is still located in the United States, and it pays taxes to the United States government. A U.S.-owned company protected by the U.S.!

Before dealing with the company, Taiwan had to consider the reaction of the American father. In fact, shortly after the company voluntarily reported the pollution incident to the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency, the director of the US office in Taipei reached the Executive Yuan by phone. expressed his concern about the incident.

In addition to the company's US-funded background, the Oriental Group behind it is also a Taiwanese authority. factors that must be carefully considered. Even putting aside Li Xuan's enormous influence as the world's richest man, it is only the Oriental Group that has invested heavily in Hsinchu Science Park for several consecutive years. Let the Taiwan authorities dare not act arbitrarily.

Taiwan is an important part of the triangular industrial planning of the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taipei in Li Xuan's vision. For this reason, in the past two or three years, Dongfang Group has not only catered to the industrial upgrading and transformation policy of the Taiwan authorities, but has continuously invested heavily in the construction of high-tech factories such as semiconductor wafer fabs in Hsinchu and other places, and the influence of Dongfang Group on Taiwan's electronics industry cannot be underestimated. watch for.

In the oriental supply and marketing system that Li Xuan has gradually built, Taiwan's electronics companies are the second largest component suppliers and production OEMs after Hong Kong electronics companies.

Every year, the value of Taiwan's production and exports, which are leveraged by the two major industries of the Oriental Group, games and computers, is as high as tens of billions of Taiwan dollars. If the Oriental Group and the company were to completely withdraw from Taiwan because of this incident, then Taiwan's electronics industry is bound to suffer a heavy blow!

What's more, the total number of employees recruited by the Taiwan branch is as high as 22,000, of which 13,000 are employed at the Taoyuan factory where the accident occurred. If the factory is directly closed, the 22,000 unemployed people that will be added all at once will be a heavy burden for the Taiwan authorities!

Therefore, anger is anger, and Taiwan will not take too severe punishment against the company and the Oriental Group! For this, Li Xuan already knew it before he came to Taiwan.

But Taiwan is also a place where Li Xuan can't give up, so he put on a low profile from the beginning and called President Yu of the Executive Yuan to make a sincere apology before leaving Hong Kong.

After Li Xuan arrived in Taiwan, he first went to the Taoyuan General Plant to understand the situation on the spot, and then went to Taipei to have an hour-long closed-door discussion with the executive committee member Zhan Minshan, who was in charge of the investigation of the incident!

Li Xuan made a sincere proposal from the very beginning~www.readwn.com~ The company is willing to spend NT$100 million to carry out emergency water network management construction and renovation in Taoyuan City, especially the area around the Taoyuan General Plant. First, ensure that nearby residents with polluted groundwater can quickly drink safe and hygienic tap water.

In addition, the company will invite world-renowned ecological restoration experts to formulate the most reasonable and proper remediation plan for soil and groundwater restoration in polluted areas in Taoyuan City. At the same time, the company is also willing to make certain economic compensations for the relevant personnel whose bodies have been damaged due to the pollution problem!

It can be said that the attitude of Li Xuan and the company is sufficiently positive and responsible! There may still be a lot of grievances on the Taiwan side, but they are quite satisfied with Li Xuan!

At least in Zhan Minshan's view, Li Xuan, who has just acquired the company for less than a year, is actually one of the victims of this incident. After all, all the real money needed for the aftermath work needs to be paid by him in the end!

And Li Xuan really needs to establish for himself the image of an aggrieved bearer. Only in this way, he does not need to bear huge moral responsibility in the subsequent counterattack! (To be continued..)
