Xu Zhi nodded, and Yao Mingcheng took out a few documents and handed them to a few people.

Wang Liming took it, opened it and looked at it quickly, and was suddenly a little confused, and said, "This looks like a list of chemical materials for a liquid?"

Yao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's indeed an ingredient list, but you look at the ingredients inside?"

He Guoyuan looked at one of the pages of the table and said: "Looking at these ingredients, the main liquid should be water, but it is mixed with a lot of heavy metal elements and organic chemicals, which looks like the composition of some industrial wastewater? Could it be the wastewater composition of our company or foundry?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Lao He, you know a lot!"

"I used to be a manager at the Phillips factory, and I also worked with some chemical ingredients, but I also have experience in this area since MacLehose became Governor of Hong Kong, when the Hong Kong government began to restrict environmental protection," said Ho. ”

Yao Mingcheng asked, "Lao He, do you look at the various harmful ingredients in this?"

He Guoyuan looked at it carefully and said: "I am not a professional environmental protection expert, but although there are some heavy metals and chlorine-containing organic compounds in it, the proportion is very small, if it is factory sewage, it should be qualified, and it is not a heavy pollution." ”

Xu Zhidao: "What if it's the water that people drink or bathe directly?"

"No!" He Guoyuan was a little surprised, and said: "Although this kind of water is not too polluted, if it comes into direct contact with people, it is easy to cause cancer! Where did this water come from?"

Xu Zhi said: "About two years ago, when I was still in the United States, I once met an American in a bar, he got drunk and told me that his previous company in the United States deliberately discharged wastewater from a factory in Wanwan, I didn't care at the time, until we asked RCA to buy LCD patents and was opened by the lion, I didn't remember this matter, so I arranged for Yao Mingcheng to go to Wanwan to investigate the matter." ”

"RCA's factory in the bend?" He Guoyuan asked, "which factory?"

Yao Mingcheng said: "It is the Taoyuan factory where Midea's displays are supplied. ”

"I see, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with us, right?" He Guoyuan said: "If there is pollution, the environmental protection agency over there should know about it, if it doesn't know, it is inaction, or acquiescing, even if we get evidence, it is useless, right?"

Yao Mingcheng shook his head and explained: "It's not that simple, if it's really like this, how can it be worth a few of us here to discuss this matter!"

Although RCA is a large company, the local government may turn a blind eye to some aspects, but no matter how maliciously it will not allow large factories to discharge pollutants at will.

If RCA's Taoyuan plant just discharges this water into the river, we don't bother to ask, even if we know, do you know where the samples for this test were taken?"

He Guoyuan said: "What do you mean?

Yao Mingcheng shook his head and said, "It's not in any river, but in the groundwater hundreds of meters deep!"

"Groundwater?" Wang Liming on the side was also surprised: "How can there be such an ingredient in groundwater?"

"If it's just in the river, some of it will be sent underground, but it's very small, and it won't be possible to go hundreds of meters deep. Yao Mingcheng explained: "After obtaining the ingredient report, I deliberately spent a lot of money and investigated for a month, only to find out that the RCA plant had already drilled several underground wells in its own factory area, and then pumped a large amount of sewage into the ground with a high-pressure pump late every night!"

"So frustrated?" Wang Liming was also a little speechless.

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, although all enterprises have some pollution, even if they are discharged into the river, as long as it is not excessive, the river can clean up part of itself, and the people around the river have eyes, at least they will not be directly harmed by heavy pollution."

This kind of large amount of highly toxic sewage can be discharged into the ground, which can no longer be described as frenzied, the underground water is extremely poor, and there are a large number of residents above Taoyuan City, this kind of behavior has insulted the word human nature!"

It was only in 1994 that the RCA pollution case was fully exposed, and at that time, only 1,375 cancer patients were found to be directly related to pollution, and there were countless unknown diseases or uncontrollable ones.

However, at that time, RCA's factory in Wanwan had long been closed, and its company was acquired by General Electric as early as the mid-80s, and the TV business was also acquired by Thomson in France, and the legal prosecution became a lawsuit against the world's two top companies, several major consortia shirked their responsibilities to each other, and even directly rejected it, coupled with the special reasons of the Wanwan government at that time, thousands of families went through 15 years of running, and in the end, it was only General Electric Company to compensate NT$500 million.

For thousands of families, 15 years, NT$500 million, on average, each victim is not even enough to pay for an operation.

In the future, this area of Taoyuan City was identified as a permanent pollution area, and the General Electric Company was finally forced by American environmentalists to send experts to deal with the matter, but the subsequent result can only be: even if it is a thousand years later, this area will still have this kind of pollution!

Yao Mingcheng continued: "In addition to investigating the RCA factory, I also sent people to a place about ten kilometers around the factory, in the local area, there have been a lot of abnormalities, some plants have died inexplicably, and many people have suffered from breast cancer, nose cancer, liver cancer and other diseases, I have also checked the hospital data, the number of cancer patients and skin disease patients near the Taoyuan factory has increased several times in recent years, and it is much higher than other places, but because the total number is still small, it has not attracted the attention of the local government." ”

He Guoyuan said: "Then what are we going to do?

"No, how can it be so easy!" Xu Zhi said: "RCA has a market value of more than 5 billion US dollars, and it is a very influential enterprise in the United States. ”

Yao Mingcheng said: "In the past few months, I have been on the bend side, and I have also set up a relationship with the local government personnel, if this matter really breaks out, I am still sure that the factory can be shut down for a few months, after all, such a big environmental pollution incident, the world is extremely rare, even if some officials of the Wanwan authorities want to shelter, it is impossible to be indifferent at all, but whether they can continue to let the factory stop after that depends on Xu Sheng's layout in the United States." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Either we don't do this thing, or if we want to do it, we will make a big fuss, so that we can get these benefits from it, and I will open up the relationship on the US side, and we can't come forward directly with this kind of thing, we can only look for large consortia in the United States that can make profits together, as long as some consortia in the United States can profit from it and let them use political and economic resources, it is possible to succeed."

We don't need to get the maximum benefit, it's enough to achieve our business goals, the only thing missing now is a contract!"

He Guoyuan also understood, and said with a smile: "I understand,I'll immediately negotiate with RCA company,According to the current scale of our Midea's color TV market,It's no problem to set millions of color tubes!"

Midea's arcade and color TV businesses need to buy color tubes,But it used to be said to buy from several companies,RCA is just one of them。

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "1 million is too little, if you want to play, you can play 3 million units, and find a way to set the liquidated damages a little higher." ”

"3 million units?" He Guoyuan said: "It's too much, at present, our annual sales of color TVs are only two or three hundred thousand units, and the arcade machines are about 300,000 units.

Xu Zhidao: "The most important thing in the United States is liquidity, and the 3 million color tubes are not shipped over at one time, nor do they need to be paid at one time, don't worry, and now Hutchison is mine, and half of the wharf in Xiangjiang is Hutchison, are you still worried that there is no place to put it?"

Again,Our current annual sales are 500,000,It doesn't mean that it will be in the future,Whether it's an arcade or a color TV,The current sales are increasing。 ”

He Guoyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Although we have a plan, but you go to negotiate it is still the same as normal, to suppress the price, so that even if our plan is not successful, Midea can save a sum of money, in addition, the contract must be signed in the United States, so that it will be more convenient to operate in the future." ”
