PEWC Scandal

2011 - 12 - 12

PEWC has been founded for over half a century, it belonged to the first phase to build conventional industry, and then started to diversify and become more international.

走過半個世紀的「太平洋電線電纜公司」,從以前屬於創建傳統產業基礎的第一階段,到開啟多角化與國際化的第二階段。太電為台灣地區最大的電線電纜製造廠之一,不但在泰國、新加坡、澳洲、大陸地區有廠房,多角化的發展,更使太電成為一個跨足線纜、光電、通訊、衛星電視、電子資訊及高速鐵路等事業的企業集團。

1994年太電公司當時之副總經理及財務長胡洪九,利用公司資金在香港、英屬維京群島等地設立公司,以太電公司為擔保透過海外公司發行公司債,外加使用轉投資、不當交易等方式將資金轉入這些海外公司,再將這些資金匯到146家海外公司洗錢。

胡洪九還利用海外交叉持股,用太電公司在香港的資金購買不動產,將其登記再另一家海外公司名下,其擅自處分太電公司資產並不當挪用,利用假定存單掩飾資金缺口,事後企圖解散海外公司以防減掉追查,前前後後共掏空太電公司約171億元,使公司陷入財務危機,被媒體形容為世紀經濟犯罪掏空案。

太電公司於民國54年即已上市,長久以來被視為成長性佳的績優股,股東人數眾多,受到掏空案影響,導致太電下市,投資人受害人數創下新紀錄,國安基金也慘賠17億,等於是全民埋單!

Hong Kong: One country, One system

When Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997, Chinese government promised in the joint declaration that Hong Kong’s economic and political systems will not be changed for 50 years. 1997年香港回歸時,中國共產黨在中英聯合聲明中,附帶了一個「50年不變」的承諾。今天,在中國共產黨之下,經濟發展前景看好,又有新聞自由、港人自治、司法獨立;是不是萬民擁戴,邁向下一個二十年? 香港人,現在都不信了。這群平常講廣東話、公司裡白領工作都用英文的,原本自視高人一等的香港朋友,現在反而覺得是二等公民了。華爾街日報這篇報導,道出了香港人今非昔比的痛 “Many Hong Kong people…

The Effectiveness of Start-Up Incubators and Accelerators

Building incubators or accelerators has become a thing in Taiwan. Even governments have allocated funds in the business. 近來在台灣,設育成中心或加速器,變成了顯學,連政府都挹注公部門的資源下來一起做。這二個同樣都屬於「幫早期的創業者長大」的概念,彼此該如何劃分,尚非本文重點;在此僅針對我們所觀察到的怪象,略作省思。 現在從北到南的育成中心,都在做些什麼? (1) 提供Co-working space,一定期間免租金 (2) 提供講師、相關課程 (3) 自己投資一點點資源或資金,再提供與投資人媒合的機會 至於那些「嘴砲打很大、小孩生不出、付錢辦領養」的「掛榜」育成,和三流補習班買考上建中台大的名單有什麼差別? 純粹丟人現眼,在此就不提了。 先檢討上述(1), (2), (3)三項。 〔問〕Co-working space有沒有用? 不能說完全沒有。但重不重要? 〔答〕當然不重要。蛤? 「我還以為創業育成中心主要就是在提供這個啊」?…
