Chapter 819 The Poisonous Takashima II
When Qian Xiaobao returned to Osaka, he found that the factory producing HCH was normal.

"Due to damage to the corroded pipeline, a slight leak occurred. According to your instructions, our workers wore the best protective clothing in Japan, so the more than [-] workers near the leak only showed slight discomfort and were sent to the hospital for treatment. It will be fine immediately after taking the medicine. But I think that as long as there is a problem in the factory, I should report to you, so I took that telegram." Vice President Abe explained.

"You are right!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Many basic issues have not changed after the Japanese surrender, such as the land issue.Most of Japan's land is in the hands of big landowners like Earl Komatsu.

In order to prevent the redification of Japan, the headquarters of the occupying forces forced the Japanese government to carry out agricultural land reform, and forcibly purchased land from large landlords and distributed it to farmers who did not have land.

This has resulted in an unprecedented increase in the production enthusiasm of a large number of farmers.The output of agricultural products is increasing rapidly, and the demand for pesticides is huge.

Moreover, the proportion of forests in Japan is very high, and the demand for pesticides is also great.

Because Qian Xiaobao bought not only the equipment but also the patent right for the production of HCH in Japan when negotiating with the British company Carnemen, so now they are the only company that produces this highly effective insecticide.

At present, the supply of hexachlorocyclohexane produced by Takashima Chemical is in short supply, and the profits are huge.

Now that he has arrived, Qian Xiaobao carefully inspected the various workshops of the factory, and everything is running normally.

He went outside the factory again.

Osaka has many rivers and a port, so it is very suitable for chemical production.Takashima Chemical was built next to a river, and the waste water after simple treatment was discharged into the river and finally into the sea.

When Qian Xiaobao walked to the sewage outlet, he obviously smelled a strange smell.

Although it is January now, because the temperature of the discharged wastewater is very high, there are a few green grasses growing sparsely in the two to three square meters near the sewage outlet.

Qian Xiaobao raised his head and looked around again. With the keen observation of Qian Xiaobao's intelligence personnel, he immediately discovered the problem!The withered and yellow weeds around the factory were not luxuriant, and Qian Xiaobao looked at the trees for a long time, but he didn't find a sparrow or any other kind of bird!

This is very unusual.

Since the Japanese economy has just recovered, there are no other factories near Takashima Chemical. Qian Xiaobao clearly remembers that when the Takashima Chemical construction plant started, there were overgrown weeds and dense vegetation.

So what exactly caused this situation?
Obviously, it must be caused by Takashima Chemical!
After Qian Xiaobao returned to the office of Takashima headquarters, he immediately called for Vice President Abe.

"You will go to Suita immediately, and find a professor of chemical analysis at Osaka University, and ask him to sample and analyze the environment near Takashima Chemical." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Hi!" Abe replied.

"Wait!" Qian Xiaobao said immediately again.

He bowed his head and thought for a while and said: "You don't want to go, just ask one of the class leaders below to go, and don't find any professors, just find one or two graduate students in chemistry or pharmacy. Try not to mess up Movements, people don't see that we take this matter seriously."

Abe left, and Qian Xiaobao sat alone in the office lost in thought.

Four days later, Section Chief Nagakura of Takashima Co., Ltd. privately found Nosuke Sano, a Ph.D. student majoring in pharmacy at Osaka University.

"Takashima Co., Ltd. has always supported education and the cultivation of Japanese talents! It has also always given opportunities for scientific and technological talents to exercise! That's why I found Dr. Sano and wanted to give you an internship opportunity. The reward is [-] yen!" Mr. Yongcang said.

It's January and college is about to go on vacation, and it's great to be able to make some extra money during this time.

"I don't know what subject you asked me to do?" Sano Nosuke asked.

"There is nothing complicated, just a simple analysis of the surrounding environment of Takashima Chemical." Mr. Yongcang replied relaxedly.

"Chairman Takashima has ordered you to satisfy you as much as possible in terms of equipment and expenses during your investigation, and we at Takashima Co., Ltd. have never been stingy about spending money on cultivating talents!" Section Chief Nagakura continued.

A few days later, the winter vacation of Osaka University came, and Sanosuke immediately rushed to Takashima Chemical to investigate.

"Arrange his food and lodging, don't interfere with him on the surface, but pay close attention to him secretly!" Qian Xiaobao ordered Abe.

Sanosuke is a doctoral candidate in pharmacy. After receiving this investigation task, he first thought of the impact of HCH on humans, so he brought fifty experimental mice when he came.

He fed two groups of mice with different trace amounts of hexachlorocyclohexane provided to him by Takashima Chemical Co., Ltd.Then he began to take soil samples, plant and animal samples near Takashima Chemical for analysis.

Due to the backwardness of the experimental equipment, Sanosuke had to return to Osaka University from time to time to drill into the laboratory for long-term tests.

Half a month later, Abe came to see Qian Xiaobao.

"President, Sanosuke wants to dig a deep well next to Takashima Chemical. What do you think about this matter?" Abe asked.

"Cooperate fully and let him fight!" Qian Xiaobao replied without hesitation.

Ten days later, Sano's help found the person in charge and contacted him with Mr. Yongcang.He handed over a piece of paper with experimental data to Mr. Yongcang.

"I want to write a paper based on this survey and publish it," Sano said.

Section Manager Yongcang looked at the paper full of data and gradually became gloomy.

"This time, our Takashima Club gave you a generous reward, and we also fully cooperated with you when you conducted the investigation, and all the conditions were met. Is this how you rewarded our Takashima?" Mr. Yongcang asked sharply.

"I'm also really sorry, but I think this matter must be known to everyone in Japan! The problem is not obvious now, but as time goes by, the problem will become very serious!" Sanosuke replied with a bow.

"This matter can still be discussed. I can go to meet President Takashima and give you more compensation for your hard investigation during this period." Section Chief Yongcang said.

"Srimasai! Of the fifty mice I brought this time, only a dozen are sick. I must let all the Japanese know the great harm of HCH if it is used for a long time! "Sanosuke replied stubbornly.

Section Chief Nagura stared at Sanosuke for a long time with murderous eyes and then slowly said: "Okay, put this piece of paper with me first, and I will report to the higher authorities immediately."

Half an hour later, Abe hurried into Chairman Takashima's office with the paper of Sanosuke and said angrily: "President, look at this, I really want to kill that bastard Sanosuke right now! "
