The Great Power of Times

Chapter 419: Li Zetian went to disaster relief

Views:

"Will the White House be knocked out?"

Li Zetian was unsure in his heart, he didn't have it in his previous life, but he didn't know if this life would change because of the hero of the butterfly effect...

At this moment, in the hall, Yu Jingqiu, Dongfang Yuqin and others were watching the live broadcast of TV stations, and they were all shocked by these terrorist acts. At this moment, I suddenly remembered what Li Zetian had mentioned to them before, and my heart lingered in fear.

Li Zetian said: "This time the terrorists hijacked a total of four planes, two of which belonged to Colonos Airlines! No matter what, we should immediately make compensation and comfort to all the victims of these terrorist incidents! "

With that said, Li Zetian looked at Selena and instructed, "Let's prepare, I'm going to New York by private jet immediately!"

Before Selena could answer, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin cast worried glances.

"Dear, terrorists are so rampant, and I don't know if they will continue to hijack other planes. If you go at this time, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous!" Yu Jingqiu advised.

Li Zetian shook his head and said, "No, it will take a few hours to travel from Los Angeles to New York. By the time I get there, it should be safe. In addition, the U.S. government has notified major airlines that no flights are allowed to take off, so, There should be no more terrorist attacks in the future…”

After hearing what Li Zetian said, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin felt a little relieved.

"By the way, Vanessa, contact the reporter immediately. 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 phone, and started giving Li Zetian's orders!

Li Zetian went to the room, ready to change his casual clothes 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Li Zetian's private jet has been replaced by a Space-X2000 large passenger plane, which can only be accommodated by large airports. The Lee mansion above Beverly Hills is naturally impossible to fly on it.

Sitting in the car, Li Zetian couldn't help frowning. Thinking of taking a private plane and going to the airport, he felt that it was a bit of a waste of time. He thought about buying a piece of land, building a Li's manor, and building a large plane in the manor. field…

Jingle Bell!

Jingle Bell! !

Li Zetian answered a phone call at this time, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Well, okay, I see!"

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 area of collapse and huge losses!"

When Selena and Vanessa heard the words, their pretty faces turned pale.

Li Zetian said lightly: "The three hijacked planes have already achieved terrorist attacks, and now the last plane is left, and the situation is the most serious. Once the White House, the presidential residence that symbolizes the highest power in the United States, is hit, all The negative impact is unbelievable!"

Selena and Vanessa turned pale: "These terrorists are too rampant!"

"Desperados are not afraid of death at all."

While Li Zetian was speaking, a fierce battle was taking place in the last hijacked flight, Colonos Air Flight 93!

Passengers and crew have been able to successfully contact ground personnel, and they have also been informed of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The US government cannot save them, and now, they can only save themselves!

"Guys, the other three hijacked planes have all crashed, and no one on the plane survived! At this moment, everyone is following me to the first class, or we will die!!!"

"Go for it!!!"

Dozens of passengers began to fight back. Although the terrorists relied on the advantage of their weapons, the number of terrorists was small, and they could not resist after all. However, during the fight, the plane began to face down and turned over. Flight 93 crashed at 580 mph in an open space in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about twenty minutes flying from Washington, D.C.

Flight 93 had already been locked by US satellites, and as soon as it crashed, the US government was informed immediately.

While relieved, President Bush was grief-stricken and sent rescuers to the crash site for rescue, and perhaps some people survived.

Li Zetian had 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 over, reporters 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 going to the front line to rescue these innocent victims! I will launch my own All in support of this disaster relief operation! And at this moment, all the companies in my name in New York have sent their rescuers…”

"Finally, I hereby solemnly assure everyone that Colonos Air will definitely compensate the victims on our flights, and promise to work with the U.S. government in the future to strengthen aviation security inspections and implement various All kinds of anti-terrorism measures, strengthen the terrorist attack, to ensure the safety of every passenger!!!"

In this "911 Incident", American Airlines and Colonos Airlines were both tragic, with two planes each being hijacked. Of course, other airlines are not much better. After the "911 Incident", Americans are afraid to fly, and the aviation market has fallen into a trough.

Li Zetian showed his face outside the airport and expressed his attitude.

Later, when Space-X2000 flew into the sky, a reporter at the rescue site of the World Trade Center reported on Li Zetian's previous interview. Li Zetian's image of "good man" and "great philanthropist" immediately stood up, and was praised by countless people in the United States and even around the world.

"Chronos Li is a conscientious and responsible businessman!"

"Yeah, I saw a lot of employees from Chronos Li's company at the rescue site! Microsoft, Sprint, Apple, Amazon, Galaxy Network, Qualcomm, etc... Amazon brought a lot of food, water and tents. Corot Doctors and nurses at North Hospital are everywhere! Apple has brought a lot of Apple phones!"

"Uh, what is Apple doing with so many Apple phones?" At this moment, a reporter who just arrived couldn't help asking.

"This is Manhattan in New York, a highly densely populated area. At this moment, everyone is using 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. But Apple mobile phones are not as good as normal. Different from the mobile phone, it has a mobile e-mail system terminal, not only a business pass or a handheld computer with a call function, but also a mobile phone user will be able to exchange e-mails with the computer at any time!

U.S. Vice President Cheney was commanding the disaster relief scene. At first, he was using a mobile phone of another brand, and he couldn't make calls, send text messages, or give orders at all. The whole disaster relief operation was in chaos. Fortunately, someone immediately discovered that the iPhone could send or receive emails, so they could get real-time information on the disaster site anytime, anywhere. At this moment, US Vice President Cheney is using the Apple mobile phone to receive information and issue orders!

When Apple learned about this, it immediately sent a large number of iPhones to be delivered free of charge to all disaster relief teams and those who needed to make calls. "

After hearing this, the reporter who just arrived was startled and said involuntarily, "In times of crisis, you can see how good or bad it is! It's still the Apple mobile phone that is so powerful, and other mobile phones can't communicate, only the Apple mobile phone can, this disaster relief operation. , Apple is a big part of it! So I decided to do a special report on iPhone!!!"

"Well, this 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 mobile phone, the brilliance of the BlackBerry mobile phone is covered up, and it is almost ignored.

In the previous life, the BlackBerry mobile phone flourished on the "911 Incident", overwhelming the major mobile phone brands and becoming the most popular mobile phone in the United States.

The tragedy of this lifetime of BlackBerry phones...

A few hours later, Li Zetian landed at the New York airport, and then rushed to the disaster relief scene non-stop.

His arrival immediately attracted great attention from the media, and reporters came forward one after another to interview him.

However, Li Zetian refused to be interviewed because of the importance of disaster relief.

The disaster relief operation lasted for several days. The US government obviously did not have good disaster relief experience, and the action was slow and improper measures were taken. And Li Zetian and the company under his name performed outstandingly in this disaster relief operation and made great contributions, which made Americans have a good impression of them.

It is worth mentioning that in this disaster relief operation, the Apple mobile phone has almost become the standard of communication, which is very eye-catching, and major media around the world have reported it. The popularity of Apple's mobile phone brand is unparalleled for a while! In just a few days, Apple has sold more than 4.5 million iPhones, which is staggering!

It can be said that Apple has benefited enormously from this "911 Incident".

On September 15, the U.S. Department of Defense released statistics on the victims and missing persons of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, with a total of 3,025 people.

City officials say 70 people are missing; medical facilities have issued death certificates for 1,400 people; 1,331 people have been confirmed dead, but bodies have yet to be found. Among those killed at the World Trade Center complex were 230 vice presidents of major U.S. financial institutions. 130 people were brokers of securities firms of various sizes, and among the dead and missing there was a special group of 343 firefighters.

American Airlines Flight 11: 87 passengers and crew killed

Washington: 184 dead.

Pentagon: 125 dead.

The economic losses caused are also extremely serious. After the "911" incident, American investors began to sell stocks in panic, causing the stock market to plummet. In a few days, despite the massive injection of funds into the stock market by the Bush administration, the Dow Jones index, the Nasdaq index and the S&P index fell by 14.3%, 16.1% and 11.6% respectively, and the stocks shrunk by about 1.4 trillion US dollars!

Manhattan Island in New York is a gathering place for multinational financial companies, and the World Trade Center is the center of Manhattan. Companies that can set up their offices on the World Trade Center are naturally powerful companies.

But after the "911 Incident", these companies have become unlucky.

Their business was almost paralyzed and a lot of data was lost. Notable companies were Bank of America, Asahi Bank, Deutsche Bank, International Trust Bank, Kemper Insurance Company, Marsh Insurance Company, Imperial Life Insurance Company, Guy Carpenter Insurance companies, Cantor Fitzgerald Investments, Morgan Stanley Financial, U.S. Commodity Futures Exchange. Among them, Morgan Stanley suffered the worst loss, because it rented a total of 298,000 square meters of office space in the World Trade Center, and many employees of the company did not even have an office space.

This "911 Incident", Li Zetian did not short the U.S. stock market, for fear of causing suspicion in the United States. However, it does not mean that Li Zetian does nothing!

Morgan Stanley, commonly known as "Morgan Stanley" in the financial circle, is one of the three major investment banks (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch).

JPMorgan Chase, the financial pillar of the Morgan consortium, is known as "Little Morgan" in the industry.

This time, Morgan Stanley was hit hard, and Li Zetian wanted to buy it.

Therefore, when the world was paying attention to the "911 Incident", Li Zetian dispatched personnel to communicate with the Morgan Stanley board of directors, taking advantage of its illness and killing it!

Li Zetian explained to the people who sent: "This acquisition is about a quick word, to achieve a lightning-fast acquisition! This moment is the lowest point in Morgan Stanley's history. In the first two months, the financial world was well-known. Banker John Mack has left, and now the '911 incident' has occurred, and the loss is the most. So as long as the price can make the board of Morgan Stanley feel the heart, they may not 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. The acquisition of Morgan Stanley will greatly help Li Zetian's property management. Therefore, Morgan Stanley has become Li Zetian's acquisition target.

In the end, it took only a week for the acquisition to be negotiated.

Li Zetian bought it at Morgan Stanley's 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 were extremely surprised.

"The world-famous Morgan Stanley is so easy to be acquired..." Vanessa exclaimed.

Li Zetian looked at the narrow Wall Street and said lightly: "As long as you give money, these Wall Street bankers will sell you everything!"

After a pause, Li Zetian said: "The casualty data has been collected this time, and it is time to compensate the victims of the Coronos Airlines flight and the victims of the World Trade Center. Oh, yes, American Airlines does What kind of compensation was made, and is the amount high?"

"The other party hasn't announced it yet," Selena replied.

"Haha," Li Zetian smiled and said, "You said, if the compensation on our side is high, wouldn't it be 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 a fool of American Airlines this time, and who would make it the biggest competition for Colonos Airlines. opponent.
