"When you are negotiating with the Taiwan authorities, you should be tough when it's time to be tough! We are willing to cooperate with the government to deal with the aftermath, but the dominance of the matter must not be completely lost!" Li Xuan said to Han Peng, who was sitting on the side. road.

"I understand, Li Sheng! When I met with Commissioner Zhan Minshan today, I suggested that the company would completely shut down the Taoyuan General Plant as soon as possible to make room for the subsequent remediation of soil and groundwater pollution. As a result, Commissioner Zhan hoped that we could reconsider! According to Commissioner Zhan, production and remediation are not contradictory, only when the factory resumes operation can the company continue to generate profits, and we can also reduce losses as much as possible!" Han Peng said with a smile.

Li Xuan also smiled casually: "Commissioner Zhan is very thoughtful for us! If we really shut down the Taoyuan General Factory at once, the 10,000 unemployed workers in the factory would have to go to the streets immediately. No! However, if the factory resumes operation, it will definitely have a negative impact on the follow-up ecological remediation work, and this must be made clear with the government in advance!”

The two tacitly stared and smiled, and the Oriental Group was willing to take responsibility for the ecological remediation of the polluted area. But to what extent to remedy it is a question worth pondering.

After the incident, Dongfang Group also invited two professors who have researched on ecological pollution prevention and control from the University of Hong Kong as soon as possible to go to the Taoyuan General Plant for evaluation. According to the views of the two professors of the University of Hong Kong, it is almost impossible to completely remove the pollution and restore it to its original state.

Especially those pollutants that have penetrated into the subsurface, because these pollutants cannot dissolve with water, so they will only slowly diffuse into the water source. This leads to the problem of contamination of groundwater in the surrounding area. Most likely it will be a long process. It is impossible for the company to carry out pollution control work for many years, so it is very important to reach an understanding with the government.

After Li Xuan paused. He continued: "After this incident, this signboard. It must be completely rotten in Taiwan in the future! And in recent years, wages and benefits in Taiwan have been greatly increased. I remember that a Hong Kong newspaper had previously reported that a certain Taipei City This is a very profitable company that pays 0 months salary to its employees every year, which makes countless Hong Kong wage earners envious!

Although the factory is not so exaggerated, the two months at the end of the year also pay double wages! Fortunately, there is no such bad trend on the mainland. It is also one of our most important development ideas to transfer some low-end and medium-end manufacturing industries to mainland China, where labor costs are lower!

In order to take care of the employment pressure from the government, we can temporarily suspend the closure of these factories, but the divestiture of the Taiwan branch must be carried out as soon as possible! First, a new Taiwan subsidiary was established under the Oriental Group.

Then wait until the pollution incident subsides. Quickly transfer all the assets of the Taiwan branch to the new company by means of sale and transfer! The company will completely withdraw from Taiwan in the future, and the current branch will be directly cancelled! "

Several days have passed since the pollution incident was exposed, but on the island of Taiwan, it did not cause an uproar as Li Xuan had imagined. Various media reports on this incident were carried out under the unified guidance of the government's propaganda department.

In 1984, Taiwan was still under newspaper-ban and party-ban. Anyone who disagreed with the authorities was sent to Green Island to eat in prison. And this also put a lot of pressure on Li Xuan.

Although ecological remediation is troublesome, it will come to Dongfang Group and the company. Not the most annoying thing. The real fear is the issue of compensation for victims of the incident. To know that the groundwater pollution in this incident may involve dozens of square kilometers, who knows how many victims will eventually escape.

Drinking polluted groundwater for a long time will not only cause various harm to the body. The most deadly consequence is that people will suffer from various cancers. According to the information provided to the company by the Department of Health, the cancer fatality rate in the area near the Taoyuan General Plant is indeed much higher than the Taiwan-Taiwan island-wide average.

But if you let the company's compensation range. Expanding to hundreds of thousands of residents within a radius of tens of square kilometers is basically no different from making the company directly bankrupt!

According to the preliminary negotiation plan between the Eastern Group and the government. The scope of compensation will be strictly limited to those who have sufficient evidence to confirm that the pollution caused death or disability.

And Li Xuan is not even willing to use the word "compensation". He will set up a relief fund. Then, in the name of the company and himself, a sum of money was injected into the foundation.

This foundation will operate under the supervision of the government. Any confirmed victims of this incident can apply for a relief fund from the foundation! This is equivalent to letting the government and the foundation take over the follow-up compensation matters, allowing the company to break free from this quagmire.

But in Li Xuan's view, this is not safe. He needs to set up another firewall, so that the company can directly withdraw from the Taiwan market after divesting its assets. Because the Taiwan-Taiwan authorities are not ready to impose heavy fines on the company for various reasons.

But this does not mean that the government authorities will continue to be so friendly in the future. For example, twenty years later, when the blue and green parties began to fight to the death, those politicians might not be able to repeat the same thing in order to attract voters! Only if the company completely withdraws from the Taiwan market ~www.readwn.com~ will people who want to knock a fortune out of it have no way to be held accountable.

And if those victims want to hold other companies of the Oriental Group accountable, then I am sorry that the property rights are separated by several layers and have nothing to do with the company at all. The difficulty for the other party to win the lawsuit will definitely increase exponentially. After all, the Oriental Group It's not up to anyone!

"Originally, I thought the Taiwan-Taiwan side would be the most troublesome, but I didn't expect that everything would be calm here, and I just had to talk with the government step by step and slowly, but instead, the chaos in the United States is getting bigger and bigger!

When Charlieson called me yesterday, he had already revealed that he wanted to resign! Next, the aftermath work in Taiwan can only be left to you to follow up. I plan to fly to New York tomorrow! "Li Xuan sighed helplessly towards Han Peng.

As a company, Charlison naturally has to take on management responsibilities. But what's even worse is that Charlieson had previously served as the general manager of the Taiwan branch. Although he argued that when he was working in Taiwan, he focused his energy on developing the Asia-Pacific market and did not pay too much attention to the following factories. actual operation.

But these explanations still couldn't make him completely extricate himself from this pollution scandal. American newspapers and magazines have gradually pointed their finger at his moral character! (To be continued..)
