Chapter 430: Li Zetian is going to disaster relief
1. "Will the White House be knocked out?"
Li Zetian was uncertain in his heart, he didn't have it in his previous life, but in this life, he didn't know if it would change because of the hero of the butterfly effect......
At this moment, in the hall, Yu Jingqiu, Dongfang Yuqin and others were mostly watching the live broadcast of the TV station, and they were all shocked by these terrorist acts. At this time, he suddenly remembered what Li Zetian had mentioned to them before, and suddenly felt palpitations.
Li Zetian opened his mouth and said: "This time, the terrorists hijacked a total of four planes, two of which belonged to Chronos Airlines! No matter what, we should immediately compensate and comfort all the victims of these terrorist incidents!"
As he spoke, Li Zetian looked at Selena and ordered, "Let people prepare, I'm going to take a private jet to New York right away!"
Without waiting for Selena to answer, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin cast worried glances.
"My dear, terrorists are so rampant, I don't know if they will continue to hijack other planes in the future, I am afraid it will be very dangerous for you to pass at this time!" Yu Jingqiu persuaded.
Li Zetian shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, it will take a few hours to travel from Los Angeles to New York, and by the time I get there, it should be safe." In addition, the U.S. government has notified major airlines that no flights will be allowed, so there should be no more terrorist attacks in the future......"
Hearing Li Zetian say this, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin were a little relieved.
"By the way, Vanessa, contact the reporter immediately, and I will introduce the interview at the Los Angeles airport. At this time, I must stand up and express my position on this rescue operation as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!!"
Vanessa nodded, and immediately walked towards the door with Selena, picked up the mobile phone, and began to give Li Zetian's orders!
Li Zetian went to the room, ready to change the casual clothes on his body into a solemn black suit.
Ten minutes later, Li Zetian drove to the airport.
Li Zetian's private jet has been replaced by a Space-X2000 large passenger plane, which can only be accommodated by large airports. This Lee mansion above Beverly Hills is naturally unable to fly a plane on it.
Li Zetian sat in the car, couldn't help frowning, thinking that he had to go to the airport by private jet, he felt that it was a bit of a waste of time, and thought about it, buy a piece of land, build the Li manor, and build a large airport in the manor......
Jingle bells!
Jingle Bell!!
Li Zetian answered a phone call at this time, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Well, okay, I know!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Zetian said to Selena and Vanessa: "The news just came that American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, causing a large-scale collapse and huge losses!"
Selena and Vanessa turned pale when they heard this.
Li Zetian said in a light tone: "The three hijacked planes have all achieved terrorist attacks, and now there is only one plane left, and it is the most serious situation, once the presidential residence, which symbolizes the highest power of the United States, the White House, is hit, the negative impact is unbelievable!"
Selena and Vanessa were disgraced: "These terrorists are too rampant!"
"Outlaws are not afraid of death at all. ”
While Li Zetian was talking, a fierce battle was taking place in the last hijacked flight, Chronos Airlines Flight 93!
Passengers and crew have been able to contact people on the ground, and they have also been informed of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The U.S. government can't save them, and now, they can only save themselves!
"Guys, the other three hijacked planes have all crashed, and no one on board survives! At this moment, everyone follows me to the first class cabin, or we will die!!
"Rushing to !!"
Dozens of passengers began to fight back, and although the terrorists relied on the advantage of their weapons, they were too few to parry, however, in the course of the struggle, the plane began to face down and roll over, and Chronos Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a clearing in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 580 miles per hour, only about 20 minutes from Washington, D.C.
Flight 93 had already been locked in by US satellites, and as soon as it crashed, the US government immediately got the news.
President George W. Bush was relieved and grief-stricken, and sent rescuers to the crash site to rescue him, and perhaps some survived.
Li Zetian had already arrived at the Los Angeles airport at this time.
At this moment, outside the airport, reporters gathered.
When Li Zetian's iconic Rolls-Royce drove by, reporters immediately rushed forward.
Li Zetian got out of the car, looked at the reporters with a sad face, and lamented: "I already know about the terrorist attack this morning. At this moment, I am ready to go to the front line to rescue these innocent victims! I will mobilize all my forces to support this disaster relief operation! At this moment, all my companies in New York have sent rescue personnel......
"Finally, I would like to solemnly assure you that Chronos Airlines will compensate the victims of our flights, and promise that in the future, we will work with the U.S. government to strengthen aviation security, implement various anti-terrorism measures, and strengthen the fight against terrorists to ensure the safety of every passenger!!
In this "911 incident", American Airlines and Chronos Airlines were both tragic, and each had two planes hijacked. Of course, other airlines are no better, after the "911 incident", Americans are afraid to fly, and the aviation market is in a trough.
Li Zetian showed his face outside the airport and showed his attitude.
Subsequently, when Space-X2000 flew into the sky, reporters at the rescue site of the World Trade Center connected to report on Li Zetian's previous interview. Li Zetian's image as a "good man" and "great philanthropist" was immediately erected and was praised by countless people in the United States and even around the world.
“Chronos· Li is a businessman with a conscience and a sense of responsibility!"
"yes, I've seen a lot of people from the Chronos· Microsoft, Sprint, Apple, Amazon, Galaxy Network, Qualcomm and other companies...... Amazon brought a lot of food, water, and tents. Doctors and nurses are everywhere at Chronos Hospital! Apple has brought a lot of Apple phones!"
"Uh, what is Apple doing with so many Apple phones?" at this time, a reporter who had just arrived couldn't help asking.
"This is Manhattan, New York, a highly populated area, and at the moment, everyone is using their mobile phones to seek communication, so although there is a signal, the channel is extremely crowded, and many people can't make calls or send text messages. However, unlike ordinary mobile phones, Apple mobile phones have mobile email system terminals, not only business communication or handheld computers with call functions, but also mobile phone users will be able to send emails to and from the computer at any time!
U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney was at the scene of the disaster relief, and at first, he used a mobile phone of another brand, unable to make calls, send text messages, and could not give orders at all. The whole disaster relief operation was chaotic without a head, but it was soon discovered that the iPhone could send and receive emails, so that they could get real-time information about the disaster scene anytime, anywhere. At this moment, U.S. Vice President Cheney is using an Apple mobile phone to receive messages and give orders!
When Apple learned of this, it immediately had a large number of iPhones shipped over and delivered them free of charge to all disaster relief teams and those who needed to make phone calls. ”
After hearing this, the reporter who had just arrived was shocked, and couldn't help but say: "In times of crisis, we can see the good and the bad! Or the Apple mobile phone is powerful, no other mobile phone can communicate, only the Apple mobile phone can, this disaster relief operation, the Apple mobile phone has contributed a lot! So I decided to make a special report on the Apple mobile phone!!
"Well, this one is worth reporting, I support it!"
When the two were talking about the iPhone, the BlackBerry wanted to cry without tears. It can also communicate, but because of the existence of the Apple phone, the brilliance of the BlackBerry is obscured, and it is almost ignored.
In the previous life, BlackBerry mobile phones bloomed in the "911 incident", beating major mobile phone brands and becoming the most popular mobile phone in the United States.
The BlackBerry of this life is tragic......
A few hours later, Li Zetian landed at the airport in New York, and then rushed to the disaster relief site non-stop.
His arrival immediately attracted great attention from the media, and reporters stepped forward to interview him.
However, Li Zetian refused to be interviewed on the grounds that disaster relief was important.
……
The relief operation lasted for several days, and it was clear that the U.S. government did not have a good experience in disaster relief, and was slow to act and inadequate. Li Zetian and his company performed prominently in this disaster relief operation and made a great contribution, which made a good impression on the Americans.
It is worth mentioning that Apple's mobile phone has almost become the standard for communication in this disaster relief operation, which is very eye-catching, and major media around the world have reported on it. In just a few days, Apple has sold more than 4.5 million Apple mobile phones, which is stunning!
It can be said that Apple has benefited greatly from this "911 incident".
On September 15, the U.S. Department of Defense released statistics on the number of victims and missing persons in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, totaling 3,025.
City officials say 70 people are missing, health facilities have issued death certificates for 1,400 people, and 1,331 people have been confirmed dead, but their bodies have not yet been found. Of those killed at the World Trade Center building, 230 were vice presidents of large U.S. financial institutions. There are 130 people who are brokers of securities companies of various sizes, and among the killed and missing there is a special group of people: 343 firefighters.
American Airlines Flight 11: 87 passengers and crew died
Washington: 184 deaths.
Pentagon: 125 dead.
……
After the "911" incident, American investors began to panic sell stocks, causing the stock market to plummet. Within a few days, despite the Bush administration's massive injection of money into the stock market, the Dow Jones, NASDAQ and S&P fell by 14.3%, 16.1% and 11.6% respectively, and the stock shrank by about $1.4 trillion!
The island of Manhattan in New York is home to a large number of multinational financial companies, and the World Trade Center is the center of Manhattan, and the companies that can locate their offices in the World Trade Center are naturally powerful companies.
But after the "911 incident", these companies have become unlucky.
Their business was nearly paralyzed, and a large amount of data was lost, among the famous companies are Bank of America, Asahi Bank, Deutsche Bank, International Trust Bank, Kemper Insurance Company, Marsh Insurance Company, Imperial Life Insurance Company, Guy Carpenter Insurance Company, Kanter Fitzgerald Investment Company, Morgan Stanley Financial Company, and the American Commodity Futures Exchange. Among them, Morgan Stanley suffered the most because it rented a total of 298,000 square meters of office space in the World Trade Center, and many of the company's employees did not even have office space.
This time in the "911 incident", Li Zetian did not short the US stock market, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the United States. However, it does not mean that Li Zetian will not do anything!
Morgan Stanley is commonly known as "Big Mo" in the financial world and is one of the three major investment banks (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch).
JPMorgan Chase, the financial pillar of the JPMorgan consortium, is known as "Little Mo" in the industry.
This time, Morgan Stanley was hit hard, and Li Zetian wanted to buy it.
Therefore, when the whole world was paying attention to the "911 incident", Li Zetian sent personnel to communicate with the board of directors of Morgan Stanley, taking advantage of its illness to kill it!
Li Zetian explained to the people he was sent: "This acquisition is focused on a quick word, and it must be a lightning-fast acquisition! At this moment, Morgan Stanley is at its lowest point in history, and two months ago, John Mack, a well-known banker in the financial circles, resigned, and now he has encountered the '911 incident,' and the losses are the heaviest. So, as long as the price is so appealing to the Morgan Stanley board, they won't necessarily consider selling to us!!"
Morgan Stanley is a world-leading international financial services company with business scope covering investment banking, securities, investment management and wealth management.
In the end, it took only a week for the deal to be negotiated.
Li Zetian bought Morgan Stanley at the market value before the "911 incident", so Morgan Stanley's major shareholders immediately nodded and agreed.
On the morning of September 17, Li Zetian signed an agreement with them.
Selena and Vanessa, who followed Li Zetian's side, were extremely surprised.
"The world's most famous Morgan Stanley was so easily acquired...... Vanessa lamented.
Li Zetian looked at the narrow Wall Street and said lightly: "As long as you give money, these Wall Street bankers will sell you anything!"
After a pause, Li Zetian said: "This time the casualty data has been counted, and it is time to compensate the victims of the Chronos Airlines flight and the victims of the World Trade Center." Oh, by the way, what kind of compensation did American Airlines make, and is it high?"
"The other party has not yet announced. Selena replied.
"Hehe," Li Zetian smiled and said, "You say, if the compensation on our side is very high, isn't it embarrassing for American Airlines." ”
Selena and Vanessa looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, obviously, they both guessed that Li Zetian was going to make American Airlines ugly this time, who made it the biggest competitor of Chronos Airlines. [.]
