Reborn Capital Madman

The world is very big, so we have “scope” and “circle”.

As a member of the Hong Kong Executive Council, Gao Xian once promoted an improvement in Hong Kong's construction industry, which was to gradually phase out the use of highly carcinogenic asbestos materials and replace them with relatively safe new environmentally friendly materials.

For this reason, Gao Xian once ventured into the industrial production of a patented glass wool material. It was indeed a venture capital investment. After the inventor of the patent, Barr Dixie, opened the factory for production, he encountered a fire that could be called a catastrophic disaster. Factoryization

For a piece of rubble.

Fortunately, Barr Dixie was a very strong business man. After getting the money, he restarted the business and the business finally got better.

In order to reduce costs and increase production, Gao Xian lobbied Barr Dixie to open a new factory in Asia, where he had more advantages. As an Indian immigrant in the United States, Barr Dixie first thought of his hometown.

It is obvious that asbestos, as an ancient and mature material, must have produced many vested interests, such as the American petrochemical industry giant Union Carbide, which has been diversifying its expansion.

Take mining within the United States as an example. In the 1960s, the Union Carbide Company of the United States discovered a good mine in California. The asbestos fibers mined there were widely used under the brand name "Caledria".

In this way, the American Union Carbide Company fell into Gao Xian's attention.

As an old petrochemical company, the American Union Carbide Company's products cover a wide range of products, the most important of which is rocket propellant, which is absolutely indispensable in the aerospace and missile fields.

The driving force that can continue to mobilize Gao Xian's interest in Union Carbide of the United States is mainly its battery business operated under the "Yongbei" brand, because Gao Xian hopes to obtain a mature platform to carry applications including mobile phones and notebook computers.

Lithium batteries for consumer electronics, including.

Of course, Gao Xian prioritized the United States Union Carbide Company's meat. He must be confident that he could cut it off with one blow through the resources that the United States has managed for many years. After all, he is not greedy, and he does not want the entire United States to unite.

Carbide Corporation!

As for the opportunity, it was the large chemical plant of the American Union Carbide Company in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Gao Xian has never been one to mechanically apply the advantage of information asymmetry in a "little way", especially when his "butterfly wings" effect cannot be ignored.

Gao Xian has made great efforts to investigate the breakthrough point of the American Union Carbide India Company.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Sir Gao's current status as one that attracts much attention. It is certainly inconvenient for him to go to Asan's place to investigate at will, but this is not a big problem. Nowadays, the Gao family's kingdom has abundant resources and quietly

Calling it once is enough to achieve the purpose.

Aren’t some of the historical monuments in Asan quite famous? It’s normal for the Shanghua Culture program production team to go there to shoot scenes. By the way, they also went to the slums where the Union Carbide India Company of the United States is located to shoot video materials, which can basically be used.

Gao Xian went to the scene to observe the effect in person.

More importantly, Gao Xian's "special correspondent" contacted a reporter named Rajkumar Keswani in Bhopal. His understanding of the American Union Carbide India Company exceeded

The level of awareness of ordinary people.

Many sudden accidents give people a sense of accident, but there are many inevitable causal relationships behind them.

The Union Carbide plant in India, built in 1969, is one such situation. Its safety problems have reached a shocking level, but they are covered up by unspoken rules such as government bureaucracy and capital's pursuit of profit.

Just get up.

In recent years, safety accidents at Union Carbide's Indian plants have occurred one after another.

Take 1982 as an example. In January, 24 workers were admitted to the hospital due to a phosphorus leak; in February, methyl isocyanate leaked, affecting 18 workers; in August, an engineer died due to

Exposure to methyl isocyanate liquid caused burns to more than 30% of the body; in October, methyl isocyanate leaked again. During the disposal process, the supervisor was severely burned, and two other workers were also injured.

Serious impact.

After 1982, to 1983, and 1984, the situation of frequent safety accidents at the Union Carbide plant in India still failed to improve. Methyl isocyanate, chlorine and methyl isocyanate appeared one after another.

, leakage of monomethylamine, phosphorus, carbon tetrachloride, and sometimes multiple substances leaking together!

How could a company as big and powerful as Union Carbide be in such an unreliable situation?

Only God may know the answer!

It is undeniable that the market demand for pesticides has declined in recent years, which has affected the efficiency of the Union Carbide India plant, but it certainly cannot explain all the problems!

Rajkumar Keswani can be called "the whole world is drunk but I am alone". His friend Mohammad Ashraf, who worked at the Union Carbide plant in India, died in a phosphorus accident in 1981.

The leakage accident made Rajkumar Keswani pay attention to the situation at the Union Carbide India plant of the United States.

Through investigation, Rajkumar Keswani got to know Bashirullah and Shankar Malviya, who were fired from the Union Carbide India plant, and these two people helped Rajkumar Keswani obtain

All manuals and confidential reports of the American Union Carbide India plant.

This information is amazing. In addition, Rajkumar Keswani is a ruthless person and is willing to study hard. It took him nine months to become a chemical expert among Asan reporters, targeting Union Carbide of the United States.

He wrote a well-founded report on the huge safety hazards in Indian factories.

On September 26, 1982, Rajkumar Keswani's first article appeared in the newspaper, titled "Please Save This City"; on October 1, Rajkumar Keswani

Wani's second article appeared in the newspaper, titled "Bhopal Sitting on the Edge of a Volcano"; on October 8, Rajkumar Keswani's third article appeared in the newspaper, titled "If You Still Don't Understand

Risk, everyone will face disaster".

It is a pity that Rajkumar Keswani's report did not cause much waves. This situation is not surprising. After all, the world has heard about Asan's situation. The report can be published. The government

Regardless of whether you can manage it well or not, just let it happen, and it will come naturally to you.

Gao Xian took the congratulatory fruit to the screening room again and watched the interview video with Rajkumar Keswani, who was currently unattended. This thing has been handed over to Paramount United, which is in the early stages of its business in the United States.

The TV network is in need of some weighty news materials, and it can also help build momentum for capital market operations.

Although the curry-flavored English sounds a bit difficult, fortunately it does not seriously affect Gao Xian and He Zhuguo's understanding.

Gao Xian habitually tried his best to conceal the clues, "I watched the sky at night and saw the purple stars moving eastward. I counted with my fingers and something big must have happened."

The company is not unimportant. According to the latest news I have, Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson is visiting India.

However, judging from the years of safety management shortcomings at the American Union Carbide plant in India and the long-term bad trend that has not been changed, it will lead to a catastrophe sooner or later. Even if nothing happens, it will be a serious short-selling factor.

Gaoyi America is already planning a short-selling Union Carbide stock plan within the next six months. I wish you can go to the United States and just follow it for fun without taking too much risk. I hope it can help you. Congratulations.

It is enough to improve your status within the group.

Of course, I won’t remind you too much about confidentiality matters.

He Zhuguo nodded repeatedly, "Brother Xian, don't worry, I understand all the rules."

This is my plan. If Gaoyi still needs funds, I can take out the bulk of the funds and lend them to Gaoyi to earn a guaranteed income during droughts and floods. I will invest the rest of the money at my own risk. You see, what happens?

Sample?

Gao Xian waved his hand generously, no problem.

Okay, I'll go find Grandpa and discuss the funding issue again. He Zhuguo stood up and left.
