Chapter 1534: Derailed Tram

April 25th, Monday, morning, Good Mood Area, East 63rd Floor, Sunyao Building, Miko Miyamoto's office.

Miko Miyamoto browses the information sent before, looking for investment inspiration and business opportunities, but usually just as news.

Socially, places in the world where there have been long-standing conflicts are still in chaos.

The most eye-catching is the anti-terrorist war led by the United States and its allies, and then the religious and ethnic conflicts, which are more prominent in West Asia and Africa; followed by the war on drugs, which is the most prominent in Latin America.

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

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

Top toy companies are merging, hit by video games.

Some audiovisual publishing companies are merging, affected by intellectual property rights.

Communication companies are expanding into the field of information vendors, connecting consumer places through the electronic network field. Simply put, it is microfinance for individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises.

This thing, the Good Mood Consortium is only open to members, that is, employees and their families. Others only have electronic consumption, and do not provide advance payment and loan functions.

In terms of incidents, the bank for small and medium-sized enterprises advocated by Governor Du has only been opened for less than a month, and several relatives of him have gone to work, using public money to do private affairs, and help him win votes by the way, Gao Ming.

"Boom!"

Ji Ji's voice came along with the knock on the door, "Ma'am, can I come in?"

Throwing down the documents, Miko Miyamoto stretched, "Come in."

Ji Ji put the laptop she brought on the table and showed it to Miko Miyamoto, "Ma'am, what happened just now, the Fukuchiyama Line of the Saikoku Railway derailed between Tsukaguchi Station and Amagasaki Station."

During the live news broadcast, the tram derailed and crashed into a residential building on the side of the road. The first 5 of the 7 carriages were derailed.

The residential building is on the bend of the track, on the side of the track, as if the house on the side of the road was hit by a car out of control, except that this is a tram.

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

The second carriage hit the outer wall laterally, causing the outer wall to collapse, pressing on the third and fourth carriages behind.

The first car and the second car were completely deformed, and the passengers inside were in danger.

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

"Ah, what a major event." Miyamoto Miko sighed.

"I have let people from the nearby Xibu Zukaguchi Shinmachi Square and Darong Amagasaki Lvyou Xinduxin pass by," Ji Ji said, "The Xinduxin Hospital has entered a state of emergency."

Miyamoto Miko asked: "Speaking of which, when exactly did this happen?"

"9:18 in the morning." Ji Ji said, "At this time, employees should be at work or in the company. There should be no employees in the car. Moreover, today is Monday, and the children are all in school, so they will not be in the car." Travel at this time, and besides, this house is not ours."

"That's good." Miyamoto Miko said, "Then, after talking about the bad aspects, let's talk about the good aspects, and you have someone prepare a speculative accident report."

"Accident report?" Ji Ji asked, "You don't want to launch a news offensive, do you?"

"Why not?" Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Nanhai Railway has no chance to make a move, but Xiguo Railway has this opportunity at your door, so you can't miss it."

"The six consortiums won't let go," Ji Ji laughed, "but for the sake of the Xiguo Railway Company, it's worth fighting with the six consortiums."

"That's right," Miko Miyamoto said, "You inform the higher-ups immediately that we have four proposals, and they will have time to consider until ten minutes before the market opens in the afternoon."

"One is to acquire all the assets of Xiguo Railway Corporation except the Shinkansen for 2 trillion yen;

Including relevant station building real estate and employee housing, etc.; the third is to purchase some railway assets of Xiguo Railway Corporation at market prices except for the Shinkansen, which can be regarded as a compromise solution. "

"Fourth, we sold all the shares of Xiguo Railway Corporation in our hands. The odds and ends add up to 15%. In addition to the follow-up caused by this incident, it will not be a problem to cut the stock price of Xiguo Railway Corporation in half in the next few days. .”

"This is the start of a war. I don't know whether the six major financial groups are willing to take money or lose money."

Ji Ji smiled and said, "It's really hard to say." Then she said seriously, "Then, I'll make a phone call right now."

"Let's go." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile. ...

More than an hour later, Ji Ji sent a speculative report on the cause of the accident.

To put it simply, there are four reasons for the derailment of trams. One is artificially placing stones and other objects on the track;

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

The 7 carriages are the 207 series of National Railways. The first 4 carriages are from Fengyu Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with a motor output of 155 kilowatts, and the last 3 carriages are from Kinki Railway Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with a motor output of 200 kilowatts.

Although the braking equipment is VVVF type, that is, the variable voltage and variable frequency braking method, the first 4 vehicles are from Mitsubishi Electric, using choppers; the last 3 are from Shibaura Electric, using gate-off thyristors.

There are also many reasons for the driver's operation. It has been confirmed that the driver's driving history is only 11 months. It is very likely that he is inexperienced and misjudged by an instrument problem.

This point is directly related to the West Country Railway Corporation. After the West Country Railway Corporation was completely privatized, there were a number of new and old personnel.

The track route and speedometer are also directly related to the Saikoku Railway Corporation. This is a matter of inspection. Because of the pursuit of profit, the number of inspections has been reduced, 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. If there is no residential building, even if the tram derails, there may not be too many casualties.

Now, the estimated casualties are more than 500 people, making it one of the worst railway accidents after the war.

At the same time, in May 1991, a major accident occurred in the tram of the West Country Railway Company.

The temporary tram of the Saikoku Railway Corporation collided with the normal tram of the Shigaraki Kogen Railway in Shigaraki Town, resulting in 42 deaths and 614 minor and serious injuries.

Shigaraki Highland Railway was determined to be mainly responsible for the incident, but Shigaraki Highland Railway refused to accept it. It is still pursuing a compensation lawsuit for this incident, and the total amount of compensation is about 5.6 billion yen. ...

"This report is good. Let's broadcast our news and release it online simultaneously," Miko Miyamoto urged, "Warning to those in charge of the project, be careful not to make it a rumor. We are only speculating on the cause of the accident based on the facts."

"Send it now?" Ji Ji said, "The stock price of Xiguo Railway has been falling. If this is the case, I am afraid it will plunge immediately."

Miyamoto Miko said: "Put some pressure on the top and the six major consortiums, and at the same time prepare for the sell-off."

"That's it." Ji Ji smiled, "Okay."...

garden.

During lunch, Miyamoto Miko received a call from Suzuki Shiro from the Suzuki Foundation, "Shiro, have they reached a conclusion in their discussion?"

"yes."

"They disagree with such a heavy tone?"

Suzuki Shiro said: "Yes, they would rather lose than let the Good Mood Foundation expand its territory to Kinki."

"That's really good." Miko Miyamoto said, "I lost 150 billion yen, and they each lost 100 billion yen. I just don't know if anyone will go back on their word."

"Well," Suzuki Shiro said, "In short, the Shiling Foundation and the Yujing Foundation made it clear that they don't want to lose money. The Mikaichi Foundation insists on opposing it. The positions of the Toyama Foundation, Otomo Foundation, and Yiyin Foundation are very vague."

Miyamoto Miko said: "This is for sure. The Mikaichi Foundation has many core industries in Kansai. The expansion of the Good Mood Foundation will have a direct impact on the other five companies, but it is definitely not as much as 100 billion yen for the time being. "

"For the Mikaichi Consortium, just the transfer of financial items such as insurance and deposits is enough to cause him heartache." Suzuki Shiro laughed.

"That's right," Miyamoto Miko said, "but you have to be careful, the Mitsuling Consortium doesn't support him, they want to weaken him, and of course the purpose is to annex him completely."

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

Miko Miyamoto asked, "Okay, what about up there?"

"The higher-ups don't want to see Xiguo Railway being acquired," Suzuki Shiro said with a smile, "but the higher-ups don't want to see big losses that affect the positions of many people."

"That is, there is still an opportunity to collect 35% of the shares and buy them at the market price, which will save money." Miko Miyamoto said, "Thank you for telling me this."

"It should be." Suzuki Shiro smiled, and then asked, "Miko, you don't seem to be worried that the six major consortiums will acquire Xiguo Railway?"

"Didn't I eliminate the Shinkansen?" Miko Miyamoto said, "The main profit of Xiguo Railway is here, and other railway lines are just burdens for them."

"That's right, it seems that Miko, you have already thought about it." Suzuki Shirou said with a smile, "That's it, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you Jiyan." Miko Miyamoto smiled. ...

The stock market opened in the second half, and Xiguo Railway dived directly to the suspension level, and a group of stocks in the railway bus, land transportation industry, insurance industry, automobile manufacturing industry, retail industry, real estate industry, tourism industry and other industries collectively fell.

I can't sit still at the top. If this continues, the amount of evaporation will definitely exceed two trillion yen. Although it will rise back in the future, that is a matter of the future.

On the eve of the end of the stock price suspension of Xiguo Railway, Xiguo Railway's stock was suspended and a tender offer was made. ...

The garden outside Miko Miyamoto's office.

Miko Miyamoto was drinking tea and listening to the phone with hands-free. The official mediator said a lot, but only one meaning. The higher-ups hoped that everyone would sit down and talk to resolve this matter.

"In short, my conditions have already been stated. After the Shinkansen is removed, there will be no monopoly behavior, and it can be considered as a contribution to society." Miyamoto Miko took a sip of tea, "You know, maintaining and renovating those railways, planning modernization Locomotives may cost more than one trillion yen, and according to the current situation of the West Country Railway, the state subsidy is about the same."

"Okay, ma'am, I will convey your meaning to you."

"Then there is work."

"I hope you will be patient."

"Okay, that's it."...
