Chapter 1534 - Rushing the Tram That Derailed

Monday, April 25, morning, Good Mood Area, 63rd Floor, Hiyo Building, Miko Miyamoto's Office.

Mimiko Miyamoto browses through the materials she sent before, looking for investment inspiration and business opportunities, but usually just watching it as news.

On the social front, the world's long-standing conflicts are still in turmoil.

The most striking is the war on terror led by the United States and its allies, followed by the clash of religions and ethnicities, most prominently in West Asia and Africa, and then the war on drugs, most prominently in Latin America.

Economically, Argentina's debt crisis continues, but it has little impact on the global economy, crude oil has risen steadily and slightly recently, and commodity and equity markets are improving.

Domestically, pharmaceutical companies continue to merge, affected by the merger of six major consortia.

The top-ranked toy companies are merging, being hit by video games.

Some audiovisual publishing enterprises are merging and are affected by intellectual property rights.

Telecommunications companies are expanding into the field of credit sales, connecting consumer places through electronic networks, and in short, microfinance for individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises.

This thing, the Good Mood Foundation is only open to members, that is, employees and their families, and only electronic consumption for others, and does not provide advance function and loan function.

In terms of incidents, less than a month after the opening of the bank for small and medium-sized enterprises, which was strongly advocated by the governor, several of his relatives went to work, used public money, did private affairs, and helped him to canvass votes by the way.

"Knock knock!"

Jio-hime's voice was accompanied by a knock on the door, "Madam, can I come in?"

Throwing down the information, Miyamoto Miko stretched, "Come in." ”

Jionghime put the laptop she brought on the table and showed Miyako Miyamoto, "Madam, what happened just now, the Fukuchiyama Line of the Seikoku Railway derailed, between Tsukaguchi Station and Amagasaki Station. ”

During the live news, the tram derailed and crashed into a residential building on the side of the road, and the first five of the seven cars went off the track.

The residential building is at the bend of the track, and on the edge of the track, it is as if the house on the side of the road has been hit by an out-of-control car, but it is a tram.

The first carriage rushed into the first floor of the residential building, a parking lot formed by the overhead of the ground floor.

The second car hit the outer wall laterally, causing the outer wall to collapse and press on the third and fourth cars behind it.

The first and second carriages are completely deformed, and the passengers inside are more than lucky.

The frightened cries for help came through the live news, which made people feel a little empathy.

"Ah, what a big deal. Miyako Miyamoto sighed.

"I've already asked the people from the nearby Yubu Tsukaguchi Shinmachi Square and Oeki Amagasaki Midoriyuki Shintoshin to pass," Hirohime said, "The Shintoxin Hospital is in a state of emergency. ”

Miyamoto asked, "By the way, when exactly did this happen?"

"Nine eighteen in the morning. "At this point in time, employees should be at work or at work, there should be no of our employees in the car, and today is Monday, the children are all in school, and they will not travel at this time, and besides, this house is not ours." ”

"That's good. Miyamoto said, "So, after the bad side is finished, talk about the good side, and you have someone concoct a speculative accident report." ”

"Accident report?" asked Jihime, "you wouldn't be trying to launch a press offensive, would you?"

"Why not?" Miyakoto Miyamoto said with a smile, "The Nankai Railway has no chance to start, and the Seikoku Railway has delivered this opportunity, so we can't miss it." ”

"The six consortia won't let go," Jiong Ji said with a smile, "but for the sake of the Seikoku Railway Company, it's worth fighting with the six consortia." ”

"That's right," Miyamoto said, "you immediately inform the above, we have four plans, give them time to think about it, until ten minutes before the afternoon opens." ”

"The first is to acquire all the assets of the Seiguni Railway Company except for the Shinkansen for 2 trillion yen; the second is to acquire the transportation part of the Nishikuni Railway Company at market price, including the real estate of related stations and employee housing, and the third is to acquire the assets of the Nishikuni Railway Company other than the Shinkansen at the market price, which can be regarded as a compromise plan. ”

"Fourth, we sold all the shares of the West China Railway Company in our hands, and the bits and pieces added up to 15 percent, plus the follow-up caused by this incident, in the next few days, it will not be a problem to cut the stock price of the West Country Railway Company in half. ”

"This is the start of the war, I don't know if the six major consortia are willing to take money or lose money. ”

Jiji smiled: "This is really hard to say. Then he said, "Well, I'm going to call." ”

"Let's go. Miyamoto Miko laughed. ……

More than an hour later, Jiong-hee sent a report on the cause of the accident.

To put it simply, there are four reasons for the derailment of the tram, one is the artificial placement of stones and other objects on the track, the second is the problem of the tram failure, the third is the problem of the driver's operation, and the fourth is the problem between the track route and the speed meter.

There are many kinds of tram breakdowns, but the accident tram group is a patchwork.

The first four cars are of the 207 series of the National Railways, with the first four from Toyoyu Manufacturing with an electric motor output of 155 kW and the last three from the Railway Rolling Stock with an output of 200 kilowatts.

Although the braking system is VVVF, which is a variable voltage and variable frequency braking system, the first four are from Mitsubishi Electric and use choppers, and the last three are from Shibaura Electric and use door-off thyristors.

In terms of driver operation, there are also a variety of reasons, it has been confirmed that the driver's driving experience is only 11 months, it is very likely that it is inexperienced, and the misjudgment caused by equipment problems.

This point is directly related to the West Country Railway Company, which has been completely privatized, and has a number of new and old personnel personnel.

The track route and the speedometer are also directly related to the Seiguni Railway, which is a problem of spot checks, and the number of checks has been reduced because of the pursuit of profits, but this is within a reasonable range.

In addition, it has been verified that the residential building was newly built more than two years ago, and it is only about 6 meters away from the railway, which is too close, and if there is no residential building, even if the tram derails, there may not be too many casualties.

Now, casualties are expected to be more than 500, making it one of the worst railway accidents since the war.

At the same time, in May '91, a major accident occurred on the train of the Seiguni Railway.

The Saikuni Railway's makeshift train collided with the Shigaraki-Kogen Railway's normal tram in Shigaraki-cho, killing 42 people and injuring 614 people slightly.

Shigaraki Kogen Railway was found to be primarily responsible for the incident, but Shigaraki Kogen Railway was not satisfied with this, and is currently in a lawsuit for compensation for this incident, with a total amount of about 5.6 billion yen. ……

"This is a good report, let's broadcast our news and launch it on the Internet at the same time," Miyamoto Miyako advised, "warn those in charge of the project not to make rumors, we are just speculating on the cause of the accident from the facts." ”

"Send it now?" said Jionghime, "The stock price of the Seikoku Railway has been falling, and in this case, I am afraid that it will immediately take a big dive." ”

Miyamoto Miko said: "Give some more pressure to the top and the six major consortia, and at the same time prepare for the sell-off." ”

"That's right. Jihime smiled, "Okay." ”……

Garden.

During lunch, Mimiko Miyamoto received a call from Shiro Suzuki of the Suzuki Foundation, "Shiro, have they discussed the results?"

"Yes. ”

"Such a heavy tone, they don't agree?"

Shiro Suzuki said, "Yes, they are willing to lose, and they can't let the Good Mood Foundation expand its territory into. ”

"That's a good point. Miyamoto Miko said, "I lost 150 billion yen, and each of them lost 100 billion yen, but I don't know if anyone will regret it." ”

"Well," said Shiro Suzuki, "in short, the Yotsubishi Foundation and the Tamai Foundation have made it clear that they don't want to lose, and the Mikachi Foundation is firmly opposed, and the positions of the Toyama Foundation, the Otomo Foundation, and the Iyin Foundation are all very vague. ”

Miyamoto Miko said: "That's for sure, the Three Days Foundation has many core industries in Kansai, and the expansion of the Good Mood Foundation has a direct impact on the other five, but for the time being, it is definitely not as much as 100 billion yen." ”

For the Three Days Foundation, the transfer of financial items such as insurance and deposits alone is enough for him to feel heartache. Shiro Suzuki laughed.

"That's right," Miyamoto said, "but you have to be careful, the Mitsubishi consortium does not support him, it wants to weaken him, and the purpose is, of course, to annex him completely." ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I understand. Shiro Suzuki said solemnly.

Miyamoto asked, "Okay, what about above?"

"The above don't want to see the Seikoku Railway being acquired," Shiro Suzuki said with a smile, "but the above doesn't want to see a big loss that affects the position of many people." ”

"That is, there is still an opportunity to collect 35 percent of the shares and buy them at the market price, which is more economical. Miyamoto said, "Thank you for telling me this. ”

"That's as it should be. Shiro Suzuki smiled, and then asked, "Miko, you don't seem to be worried that the six major consortia will buy the Seshikuni Railway?"

"Didn't I get rid of the Shinkansen?" said Miyamoto, "The main profit of the Seigoku Railway is here, and the other railway lines are just a burden to them." ”

"Also, it seems that Miko has thought it all out. Shiro Suzuki smiled, "That's it, I wish you all the best." ”

"Thank you very much. Miyamoto Miko laughed. ……

At the opening of the second half of the stock market, the West China Railway dived directly to the suspended version, and a number of stocks in the railway bus, land transportation industry, insurance industry, car manufacturing industry, small store industry, real estate industry, tourism and other industries collectively declined.

I can't sit still on it, and if I continue like this, the amount of evaporation will definitely be more than two trillion yen, and although it will rise back in the future, that will be for the future.

On the eve of the end of the suspension of the share price of the Western National Railway, the trading of the Western Railway stock was suspended and the tender offer was made. ……

The garden outside Miyamoto's office.

Mimiko Miyamoto drank tea and listened to the phone on hands-free, the official mediator, said a lot, and there was only one meaning, and I hope everyone will sit down and talk about it and solve this matter.

"In short, I have already said that after the Shinkansen is removed, there will be no monopolistic behavior, and it can be regarded as contributing to society. Miyamoto Miko took a sip of tea, "You know, it may cost more than a trillion yen to maintain and renovate those railways and plan modern locomotives, and according to the current situation of the Western Railway, the state subsidy is about the same." ”

"Well, ma'am, what do you mean, I'll convey it to you. ”

"Then there's work. ”

"We hope you will be patient. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”……
