What Li Xuan didn't know was that the RCA pollution incident in another time and space was not exposed until ten years later, in 1994. At that time, RCA was first acquired by GE and later sold to Thomson in France.

RCA's factory in Taiwan was completely shut down in 1992, two years before the incident was exposed. And even after this serious pollution incident was exposed, in addition to causing an uproar on the island of Taiwan, it was almost silent in the United States and Europe.

What is even more ironic is that later RCA also played the environmental protection card and implemented the so-called "product recycling management plan" for all its household appliances, so as to emphasize the protection of the earth's resources and put on a noble coat for itself.

However, the direct victims of the RCA Taoyuan plant pollution incident have never been treated fairly. GE of the United States and Thomson of France, which have acquired RCA companies, are both multinational groups with extensive influence.

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

By the time the victims of the incident finally waited for the belated justice, RCA had already completed the malicious de-production and had successfully remitted up to NT$3.2 billion in foreign exchange to a French bank in advance. The remaining funds in RCA's Taiwan account are only a pitiful NT$330,000, which translates into just over $10,000 in US dollars.

However, the situation that Li Xuan faced in this life. It's undoubtedly much worse! Because the media that is now exposing the RCA pollution incident is CBS, one of the three major television stations in the United States. Other American media that smell fishy. Soon there will be a crazy moral trial against RCA and the Eastern Bloc!

What's more, this is not an accidental exposure incident, but it is likely to be a hole specially dug by the competitors of the Eastern Bloc! Therefore, Li Xuan immediately chose to take the initiative to deal with it. Instead of prevarication and procrastination.

It has only been 4 hours since CBS TV's "60 Minutes" program exposed the long-term malicious discharge of toxic and harmful production waste by RCA Taiwan's branch, which caused a serious ecological disaster to the local area, and NBC's midnight news broadcast an update on the news.

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

At the same time, Mr. Li Xuan, the boss of RCA and the richest man in the world, also flew to Taiwan as soon as possible to deal with this emergency in person. He said in an interview with NBC reporters at Taoyuan International Airport. He personally expressed his shock at the fact that RCA's Taiwan factory has been so serious and illegal for a long time.

At the same time, he was ashamed that the Oriental Group, a year after acquiring RCA, still failed to discover these egregious behaviors. Mr. Li Xuan also said that Oriental Group has always been a responsible enterprise and is willing to assume all necessary responsibilities!

After the incident is exposed, RCA will inevitably be in a disadvantageous position, and the first thing Li Xuan has to do is to regain the guidance of public opinion. Therefore, NBC TV, a subsidiary of RCA, 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 set up a reporter station in Taiwan. The television industry in the United States waited until CNN came out to spread its editorial network around the world. And NBC TV because of Li Xuan's relationship. It has a close cooperative relationship with Hong Kong Asia Satellite TV, which also belongs to the same boss.

A female reporter holding a microphone with the NBC logo at Taoyuan Airport, as an NBC TV reporter, interviewed Li Xuan on the spot. In fact, it is an employee of Asia Satellite TV. And ATV's interview team even rushed to Taiwan directly with Li Xuan on his private jet.

Similarly, ATV reported on the pollution incident at RCA's factory in Taiwan. It is even one step faster than the three major snakes of Taiwan Television, China Television and China Television. In the 80s, information was disseminated far faster than it was 30 or 40 years later.

Taiwan's three major local television stations have not yet had time to know about the distant United States. A few hours ago, a major environmental scandal related to Taiwan broke out. Even if they have a reporter station in the United States, it is mainly to pay attention to the current political news. It is simply impossible to keep an eye on all the columns of the American television stations all the time.

Taiwan's media didn't notice anything unusual until RCA's Taiwan branch had shut down the factories and carried out the necessary emergency aftercare internally, and then notified Taiwan's Environmental Protection Agency.

Although RCA said that it would actively cooperate with the investigation of the Taiwan authorities with the greatest sincerity. But that is just a gesture, Li Xuan naturally will not be really stupid, let the relevant departments of the Taiwan authorities turn RCA Taiwan Company upside down.

The first thing he did when he arrived in Taiwan was to personally visit the Taoyuan General Factory on Zhongshan Road in Taoyuan City. For a long time, the Taoyuan General Plant dumped toxic and harmful waste materials generated in industrial production directly into deep wells dug by itself, resulting in serious chemical pollution of the surrounding soil and groundwater.

What makes Li Xuan feel even more troublesome is that the dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and other organic solvents contained in these wastes all have a high probability of causing cancer. Most of the ordinary employees and surrounding residents in the Taoyuan factory have been drinking the polluted groundwater for a long time. The number of people who suffer from cancer as a result is not known even to RCA.

"We have already informed the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health, and the Labor Committee, and the Executive Yuan held an emergency meeting at 12 o'clock at noon, designating Zhan Minshan, a member of the local committee, as the general responsibility, to set up a special investigation team to conduct the investigation!" Bill, general manager of RCA's Taiwan branch, reported to Li Xuan in English.

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

This made Li Xuan very disgusted with these people, and the internal investigation team sent by the Oriental Group from Hong Kong took over the operation of the Taiwan branch of RCA as soon as he arrived in Taiwan with Li Xuan. If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to learn about the actual situation from the original management, Li Xuan would not be interested in meeting these people at all.

After listening to the report of the responsible person of the Taiwan side without concealment, Li Xuan realized that the matter was much more troublesome than he had expected! The troubles accumulated by the Taiwan company over the past 10 years or so may require him to spend tens of millions or even more than 100 million dollars to deal with the aftermath!
