Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 589
The once-in-a-decade circuit breaker caused a lot of noise on the US network. At the beginning, most people thought it was a normal technical adjustment and didn't pay much attention to it.

But when the stock market began to plummet in all directions and got out of hand, everyone understood the big deal.

The stocks in the hands of almost everyone are depreciating, and at the same time they are also selling the depreciated stocks in their hands in order to stop losses. Under such a vicious circle, the circuit breaker occurred.

Trading in the stock market was forcibly interrupted, and it seemed to have calmed down a bit, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

Luo Quan was free and had nothing to do, so he also paid attention to the stock market.

The stocks that fell the hardest this time were some oil companies, and their losses were calculated in tens of billions.

And giants like Apple, Amazon, and Wal-Mart have not fallen as hard as oil companies, but because of the size of the company, even if it falls by a few percentage points, the converted amount is quite terrifying.

All walks of life have been greatly affected by this circuit breaker, but what is more worrying is not the circuit breaker, but whether there will be a real financial crisis in the future.

If this happens, it will not be the United States, and it will be a disaster for the whole world.

Even though Huaxia survived the last financial crisis, there was a price.

After absorbing a large amount of U.S. national debt, China's economy has actually been greatly affected, but the country has successfully transferred these effects through the development of real estate.

So during the 08 financial crisis, China's economy did not collapse, but after that, the domestic housing prices, which were not considered outrageous, began to soar at a rocket speed.

In the past ten years, it has more than doubled, but the salary has not increased particularly much. This has caused many young people to change their minds when they talk about housing. All their ambitions have finally turned into being able to save enough money to buy a house.

If there is another financial crisis, who knows what will happen, so Luoquan is still paying attention to this kind of major event related to the world, and has been searching for the latest situation on Twitter and Reddit.

The latest news we have received so far is that the problem is not particularly serious, and the Fed is already preparing for regulation.

If the control is not enough, then simply print money and distribute it to the people. Anyway, the United States is now deploying weapons all over the world, no matter how much money it prints, it can be distributed to countries all over the world.

It's shameless, and it's embarrassing.

The night passed, and the day came.

With the world watching, U.S. stock markets reopened.

This time, the stockholders were prepared and sold their stocks as soon as the stock market opened, causing the stock price to plummet again.

This time the circuit breaker was faster than yesterday, and it took less than three hours, which made people all over the world cry outrageously.

Circuit breakers in the United States are actually a rare event in history. It happened twice in the last century, and it only happened once in this century before yesterday.

Some people may not be able to encounter a circuit breaker in their entire life, but it happened twice in a row yesterday and today, and it may even happen tomorrow.

I have to say that everyone has witnessed history this time.

The good news is that the two consecutive circuit breakers did not have much impact on Luo Quan's family.

The real estate of the Albert Group belongs to the industry, and most of them are concentrated in Europe, which has not been affected yet.

As for some of the investments made by the company in other fields, they are just small-scale troubles, and they are not worth a lot of money if they are all lost.

As for his father's shipping company, it has long been delisted, and it hasn't even started operations yet. Even if it is shut down for a month, it has nothing to do with him.

The same goes for the company Luoquan invested in. Nicholas is probably busy working on research and development at the moment, so he doesn't necessarily know about the circuit breaker.

Therefore, although Wall Street, which controls the lifeline of the American economy, is now gloomy, at least the crew on the outskirts of Las Vegas has not been greatly affected.

After the self-heating hot pot arrived, Luo Quan excitedly called all the employees and recommended this special food from his hometown to them.

"Everyone, this self-heating hot pot is a unique delicacy in my hometown. Eat this in winter to ensure that you will feel warm all afternoon." Luo Quan said while taking out a self-heating hot pot the size of a lunch box from the box .

To be honest, she has never eaten self-heating hot pot, but she has never eaten pork, but she has seen pigs run away. Many food section up owners on station B have eaten this kind of product.

And the brand she bought is the one with the most favorable reviews, and there is definitely a gap between it and the freshly cooked hot pot, but the base used is the authentic Yuzhou old hot pot base, which tastes absolutely top.

As for the ingredients, considering that foreigners may not be able to eat hairy tripe, duck intestines, and xuewang, Luo Quan didn't buy them, and chose beef rolls, pork rolls, etc., and some vegetarian dishes.

"Friendly reminder, this taste is very spicy, very very spicy. If you have a bad stomach, you don't have to try it out. It's better to choose hot fast food." Before distributing, Luo Quan solemnly reminded all those who have never eaten hot pot colleague.

Whether it is Sichuan cuisine or hot pot, it is basically inferior to Jiangxi in terms of pure spiciness.

But in addition to being spicy, Sichuan cuisine and hot pot also carry the same level of numbness.

When the two flavors are combined, it is just the beginning of eating, because it is too numb and temporarily makes the tongue and lips feel the intense spicy taste.

It has been scientifically proven that a slight pain sensation can excite the senses and become addictive, which is why many people get more and more high when they eat spicy food.

And after eating high, the numbing taste gradually fades, and the spicy taste hits, and the consequences will be very serious. It is not an exaggeration to say that the mouth seems to be breathing fire.

And there will be very uncomfortable sequelae the next day, so it is not recommended to try hot pot if the taste is relatively light.

Seeing what the director said, the crew members, who were originally quite curious, immediately became hesitant.

It's good to have a warm meal in the cold, but it's not worth the candle to get acute gastroenteritis.

Most of the people in the crew don't have regular diets. The director is so excited that a shoot lasts for several hours. If he doesn't open his mouth, no one can rest.

If things go on like this, everyone will more or less have some gastrointestinal problems. After all, not all directors can actually eat as soon as the meal time comes like Luo Quan, and they can also buy food from their hometown and bring it to the crew to share with everyone.

Although I really wanted to give the director this face and try the hot pot, but considering the actual situation, many people still didn't force themselves. In the end, only about forty warriors dared to stand up and taste the hot pot, most of them were boys.

Lyon was the most active among them. He took the lead and took a beef hot pot with the Chinese word "extra spicy" from his sister.

This was originally prepared by Luo Quan himself, but Leon took it away.

"This is the highest level of spiciness, you can eat it after you think about it." Luo Quan kindly reminded his brother when he saw his brother unpacking the outer package in a hurry.

"It's okay, it's just diarrhea at most." Leon said nonchalantly.

Angela picked and picked in the box, and finally took out a box of "Pork in Clear Soup + Potato Chips".

On Lyon's side, the water was quickly poured into the self-heating bag, and the boxed hot pot became boiling after a while.

After waiting for 5 minutes, Leon carefully opened the bag, and a gust of hot air came out directly.

"I'll go, this thing is enough to be used directly as a hand-held heater." Leon groaned strangely, and opened the lid of the hot pot.

What appeared in front of his eyes was bright red chili oil first, and then a spicy aroma came to his nostrils.

Leon took a sip and immediately coughed. It was because he choked before eating.

"Can you do it? Don't force yourself if you can." Luo Quan himself had already opened the box and prepared to cook. Seeing that his younger brother seemed to be in trouble, he couldn't help but said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's a mistake." Leon grabbed a bottle of ice water and said, "I didn't expect the smell to be so strong, it's so spicy just by taking a sip."

"It's useless to drink water when it's hot. You have to drink milk. Milk can secrete a substance to protect your mucous membranes, which is very helpful in reducing the irritation of peppers." Luo Quan said, throwing a bottle of pure milk to his younger brother.

These tips are summed up by her often eating spicy food.

Pure milk is a good thing. Drinking a cup of hot milk before going to bed at night can help you fall asleep, and drinking a cup in the morning is good for your health.

You can drink milk when you eat spicy food, and you can also drink milk when you drink alcohol, both of which have a protective effect on the stomach.

The only pity is that many Chinese people have the symptom of lactose intolerance, and drinking pure milk is prone to diarrhea.

"I'll talk about it later, let me see how spicy this thing is." Leon took the milk and put it aside, scooped up the soup and meat with a spoon, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wait a minute..." Luo Quan wanted to stop him when he saw it, but he was a step too late.

Eating hot pot is to eat the food in it, she dare not drink this red soup, Leon just drank a spoonful, is that okay?

Sure enough, after eating a spoonful of red soup, Leon's face suddenly turned from white to red, and his lips began to congest rapidly.

"Oh, my God." Now Leon knew what his sister meant by extra spicy, and this mouthful of soup was like a flame, burning along the esophagus and into the stomach.

At this moment, part of his mouth had temporarily lost consciousness, as if he had bitten something slightly smaller than a pea, and after biting it, it was like being injected with an anesthetic.

"You are a real bully. You drink the red soup mixed with peppercorns. I have never tried this way of eating." Luo Quan hurriedly opened a bottle of milk and let his brother drink a few sips.

Fortunately, there is only one bite, not too much.

"Um..." Leon's expression was as if he had drunk three catties of Erguotou, and his speech became difficult.

"This hot pot... tastes really good." After a little relief, Leon found that his back was already sweating.

It was really uncomfortable at first, but after eating, his taste buds also became excited under the stimulation of pain.

Soon he spooned again, but this time he spooned beef...

Ten minutes later, Leon put down the spoon and burped full of spicy taste.

He enjoyed this meal so much that his forehead was dripping with sweat.

Leon was not the only one who had the same idea. The other employees who ate the hot pot also showed quite satisfied expressions, but they were not so brave.Few of them are slightly spicy.

After eating, Luo Quan went to the medical team and asked them to prepare medicine for gastroenteritis, which might be used at night.

Fortunately, everyone's intestines and stomachs are still relatively strong. Since they dare to eat hot pot, they still have this confidence, so there are no illnesses.

However, when the tuba was finished the next day, it was unknown how many people walked in strange postures. Anyway, Leon didn't sit down very much the next day, either standing or lying on his stomach.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the crew successfully finished filming all the real scenes in the snow according to the original plan.

The contingent then returned to Hollywood for the next phase of filming.

Special effects are a big part of this movie, and a lot of the plot will be done on green screen, and there will be quite a few non-physical performances.

In any movie, acting without physical objects is one of the most difficult. The imagination and improvisation of the actors and directors determine what the scene will look like in the end.

Generally, special effects blockbusters will spend a long time in this area, because many actions need to be changed, and there are too many places that need to be adjusted in the characters' positions, eyes, and movements.

However, the employees didn't know that Luo Quan had already had a standard answer on how to shoot these special effects plots. It was originally the most difficult part of filming, but in her opinion it was not that difficult.

In the remaining three days in Las Vegas, the US stock market once again experienced a circuit breaker, the financial market has all been pulled up, and there are more news about leeks and capitalists jumping off buildings.

In this perilous moment, the Federal Reserve has finally started printing money.

Green dollars poured out of the printing presses continuously. These worthless papers, after being printed with Franklin and watermarks, turned into dollars worth gold.

This is the ultimate manifestation of the strength and hegemony of the United States. They can print money arbitrarily and make the whole world pay for it, because the US dollar is the world's common currency and is also bound to the strategic resource oil.

After the money printing machine started to operate, the circuit breaker that lasted for three days finally happened without exception. Although it was still falling, the magnitude was much smaller.

And on the fifth day, there was a short-term recovery in the curve.

But this didn't last long, and the decline is still the main theme in the stock market.

The evaporated capital will not come back so easily. The people at the bottom are really bankrupt, and most of the banknotes printed by the Federal Reserve cannot be sent to their skills. After all, the American relief stations have never been short of food.

But the economic downturn is definitely unavoidable, but having said that, since the 08 financial crisis, the U.S. economy has been going backwards, so what if it can’t go down.

But at least the financial crisis will not appear, at least for now, there is no such sign.
