Extraordinary Genius
chapter-683

When Tai Hua Supermarket published their articles, people start to doubt Japanese Companies, especially those 4 companies. The 4 companies also started to retaliate.

They published articles on the papers about the scale of their companies. They talk about how many companies they had invested in China and created how many jobs for the Chinese. They also disclosed how much taxes they paid to the Chinese Government. In other words, they were telling everyone that they had made significant contributions to China’s economy.

They were also showing off their positions in the world’s top 500 companies. This was to show how powerful their companies were and indirectly states that it was the Chinese Government who had begged them to come to China.

Now, these 4 companies were being treated unjustly, especially by Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation. Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation’s attitude towards them had saddened them greatly.

When people read these reports, they were anxious. If these factories moved out of China, many people would be out of jobs, and China’s economy will be finished!

What the 4 companies said was a joke. Without these Japanese companies, no other companies from other countries will invest in China? The local authorities cannot invest themselves? If those factories were to shift out of China, they would not suffer losses? In fact, whose losses will be more significant if they were to pull out of China?

When Feng Yu read these articles, he sighed. This was the best opportunity to fight back!

Feng Yu immediately contact the newspaper agencies to publish those articles. He also called Station Chief Jia and told him to air the episode of they had filmed before.

All these headlines were directing towards the Japanese Companies. This time, Feng Yu used environmental pollution to attack them.

Feng Yu had been waiting for Sony and the rest of the companies to announce how big they were. If not, this news will not have a significant impact. Now was the time. Pictures, people, and locations were all stated clearly. There were also independent doctors and environmentalist expressing their professional views. They increased the creditability of the reports.

Although these reports might not let all the people believe about the pollution caused by those companies, the majority of the people still believed the reports. People typically pay more attention to negative news. These reports were too shocking.

In the evenings, air a special episode that talks about environmental pollution.

“Electric components contain more heavy metals, and the discharge must be regulated. If people drink water contaminated by heavy metal, they will fall sick. They will feel tired, hair loss, listless, and breathing difficulties. If it was more serious, it could cause heart failure. Regardless of internationally or in China, there are strict regulations on the level of heavy metals. Now, we shall see the laboratory test results of the water samples taken from drains near to Toshiba factory.”

“Reporter Sui, I am a researcher with Beijing Water Quality Control. Professor Li Changtian. The analysis of these water samples is conducted by us.”

“What’s the result of the test?” Sui Junyi asked.

The researcher shook his head. “The heavy metal contamination is at least 8 times above the regulated levels. Some samples are over 46 times. This water is not fit for consumption, and they cannot even be used for domestic use. If people use this water to wash their clothes, they will also fall sick. This contamination has a significant impact on the surrounding environment. It will cause mutation to the plants and animals nearby. The plants might take a few generations of mutation before they could withstand the pollution. But how many generations will it take before our bodies can resist this? Who is willing to shorten their lifespan to only 50 years maximum?”

“Wait, Professor Li, what do you mean by 50 years lifespan?” Sui Junyi suddenly interrupted.

“It’s what I said. If someone were to live in such conditions, they would not be able to live more than 30 years in theory. But we have factored in the increased body immunity of these people. Even with medical treatments, it was impossible for them to live more than 50 years old! Their chances of getting cancer are more than 10,000 times compared to an ordinary person!”

“10,000 times?!” Sui Junyi was shocked. He did not expect this contamination was so severe.

“That’s right. This is why I suggest the people living nearby to the factories to have a body checkup. They must check to see if they were affected by heavy metal contamination. These are all caused by the factories there. They should be held responsible.”

……

“Hi, I am a researcher with China’s air quality research laboratory. Professor Zhao Ligang. We have collected samples from the fumes released by these electronic factories. The samples contain high concentration of lead particles. These lead particles are released by those factories’ high-temperature furnaces. These particles can be removed by filtration easily. I am curious why these factories did not filter the fumes and release it directly. These factories do have filtration devices. Why are they not using it? Are those devices for show, or are they trying to save cost? They don’t care about polluting the environment?”

……

“As everyone can see, this is just outside of the factory. There is a lot of smog. We will interview some passerby about the situation here. Good afternoon Mdm. I am reporter Sui Junyi with CCTV.”

“I know you. I love to watch your program. CCTV programs are very well produced.” The middle-aged woman said excitedly.

“Thank you for your compliments. I have a few questions to ask you. There is a lot of smog around here. Do you still remember when did this start?”

When mentioned this, the woman pointed to a factory angrily. “The smog appears after that factory shifted here. In the past, this place is clean and beautiful. Look at this place now. The air has a pungent smell. We have complained to the higher-ups, but no one cares!”

The camera zoomed in on that factory. Toshiba China XXX Factory.

“Eh, eh, eh, I am not finished yet. There are still loud noises constantly. Can you hear it? The noise continues day and night. We can’t even sleep well.”

“What about now?” Sui Junyi asked.

“Now? We are all used to it.” The woman replied helplessly. “My son is working in other provinces after he graduates. When he was studying, he was not willing to return home. He will start coughing badly when he returns. We will be shifting out in another two years. This place is not fit for living!”

……

The whole episode was talking about the pollution caused by these factories. But the viewers can see that these factories were specially picked. All the factories shown in the program belong to Toshiba and the other 3 companies.

Now, no one supported those companies. Everyone start to point their fingers at them. These evil businessmen are making profits at the expense of human lives!
