Chapter 420 Li Zetian is going to rescue the disaster

"Will the White House be knocked down?"

Li Zetian was unsure, he didn't have it in his previous life, but in this life, he wondered 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, I suddenly remembered what Li Zetian had mentioned to them before, and I felt lingering fear.

Li Zetian said: "The terrorists hijacked four planes in total, two of which belonged to Chronos 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 ordered, "Get ready, I'm going to New York in a private jet right away!"

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

"Honey, the terrorists are so rampant, and I don't know if they will continue to hijack other planes in the future. It's very dangerous for you to go there at this time!" Yu Jingqiu persuaded.

Li Zetian shook his head and said, "Probably not. It takes several hours to travel from Los Angeles to New York. When I get there, it should be safe. In addition, the US government has notified major airlines that no flights are allowed to take off. Therefore, There should be no more terrorist attacks in the future..."

Hearing what Li Zetian said, both Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin felt a little relieved.

"By the way, Vanessa, contact the reporter immediately. I will introduce the interview at 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 out the door with Selena, picked up the phone, and began to give Li Zetian's order!
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Li Zetian's private jet has been replaced by a Space-X2000 large passenger jet, which can only be accommodated by large airports.Naturally, the Li family's mansion above Beverly Hills cannot fly a plane on it.

Sitting in the car, Li Zetian couldn't help frowning. Thinking of taking a private jet and having to go to the airport, he felt that it was a waste of time. He thought about buying a piece of land, building 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, nodded and said, "Well, yes, I see!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Zetian said to Selena and Vanessa: "The news just came that American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, causing a large-scale collapse and huge losses!"

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

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

Selena and Vanessa paled: "These terrorists are too rampant!"

"Desperadoes are not afraid of death at all."

While Li Zetian was speaking, the last hijacked flight, Chronos Airlines Flight 93, was in fierce battle!

Passengers and crew have successfully contacted ground personnel, and they have also learned of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.The US government cannot save them, now, they can only save themselves!
"Guys, the other three hijacked planes have all crashed, and none of the people on board survived! At this moment, everyone follows me to the first-class cabin, or we will die!!!"

"Go for it!!!"

Dozens of passengers began to fight back. Although the terrorists relied on their weapons, the number of them was small and they were finally unable to stand up. However, during the struggle, the plane began to face down and turned over. Flight 93 crashed at 580 mph in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 10 minutes from Washington, D.C.

The location of Flight 93 had already been locked by American satellites. As soon as it crashed, the U.S. government got the news immediately.

While President Bush was relieved, he was deeply saddened, 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, the 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 forces support this disaster relief operation! At this moment, all companies under my name in New York have sent rescuers..."

"Finally, I hereby solemnly assure you that Cronos Airlines will definitely compensate the victims on our flight, and promise that it will join hands with the U.S. government in the future to strengthen aviation security checks and implement various Take various anti-terrorism measures and strengthen the strike against terrorists to ensure the safety of every passenger!!!”

In this "911 incident", American Airlines and Chronos Airlines were both tragic, with two planes hijacked respectively.Of course, other airlines were not much better. After the "September 911 Incident", Americans were afraid to fly, and the aviation market fell into a trough.

Li Zetian showed his face outside the airport, expressing his attitude.

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

"Chronos Li is a conscientious and responsible businessman!"

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

"Uh, why does Apple bring so many Apple phones?" At this moment, a reporter who just arrived couldn't help asking.

"This is Manhattan, New York, a highly populated area. At the moment, everyone is using mobile phones to seek communication. Therefore, although there is a signal, the channel is extremely crowded. Many people cannot make calls or send text messages. Different from mobile phones, it has a mobile e-mail system terminal, not only a business communication or a handheld computer with a call function, but also a mobile phone user will be able to send e-mails with the computer at any time!

U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney was in command at the disaster relief site. At the beginning, he used a mobile phone of another brand, unable to make calls, send text messages, or give orders at all.Snakes have no heads, and the entire disaster relief operation is in chaos. Fortunately, someone soon discovered that Apple mobile phones can send or receive emails, so they can learn real-time information at the disaster site anytime, anywhere.At this very moment, US Vice President Cheney is using his iPhone to receive information and issue orders!
When Apple learned of this, it immediately sent a large number of Apple mobile phones to all disaster relief teams and those who needed to make calls to the outside world for free. "

After hearing this, the reporter who just arrived was startled, and couldn't help saying: "In times of crisis, you can see the good and the bad! The iPhone is still very powerful. No other mobile phone can communicate. Only the iPhone can. This disaster relief operation , the Apple mobile phone is indispensable! So I decided to do a special report on the Apple mobile phone!!!”

"Well, this is worth reporting, and I support it!"

When the two talked about Apple phones here, BlackBerry wanted to cry but had no tears.It can also communicate, but due to the existence of Apple mobile phones, the brilliance of BlackBerry mobile phones has been covered up, almost to the point of being ignored.

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

The BlackBerry mobile phone in this life is a tragedy...

A few hours later, Li Zetian landed at New York Airport, and then rushed to the disaster relief site without stopping.

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

However, Li Zetian refused to be interviewed on the grounds that disaster relief is important.

……

The disaster relief operation lasted for several days. The US government obviously did not have good disaster relief experience, and acted slowly and took improper measures.However, 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 the Apple mobile phone has almost become the standard communication equipment in this disaster relief operation, which is very eye-catching, and major media around the world have reported on it.The popularity of the Apple mobile phone brand is second to none!In just a few days, Apple sold more than 450 million iPhones, which is jaw-dropping!

It can be said that Apple has benefited a lot from the "911 Incident".

9月15号，美国国防部公布了9·11恐怖袭击事件的遇难者和失踪者的统计数字，总数为3025人。

Municipal officials said a total of 70 people were missing; medical institutions issued 1400 death certificates; 1331 people have been confirmed dead, but the bodies have not been found.Among those killed at the World Trade Center towers were 230 vice presidents of major U.S. financial institutions.There are 130 brokers of securities companies of various sizes, and among the dead and missing is a special group of people, they are 343 firefighters.

American Airlines Flight 11: A total of 87 passengers and crew died

Washington: 184 dead.

Pentagon: 125 dead.

……

The economic losses caused by the "911 Incident" were also extremely serious. After the incident, American stockholders began to sell stocks in a panic, causing the stock market to plummet.Within a few days, despite the massive injection of capital 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 stock market shrank by about 1.4 trillion US dollars!

The island of Manhattan in New York is where multinational financial companies gather, and the World Trade Center is the center of Manhattan. A company that can set up its office in the World Trade Center is naturally a powerful company.

But after the "September 911 Incident", these companies became unlucky.

Their business was almost 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 companies, Cantor Fitzgerald, Morgan Stanley, Commodity Futures.Among them, Morgan Stanley suffered the worst loss, because it rented a total of 29.8 square meters of office space in the World Trade Center, and many employees of the company did not even have office space.

When the "September 911 Incident" happened, Li Zetian did not short the U.S. stock market, for fear of arousing suspicion in the U.S.However, it does not mean that Li Zetian does nothing!

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

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 "September 911 Incident", Li Zetian sent personnel to communicate with the Morgan Stanley board of directors, taking advantage of its illness and killing it!
Li Zetian explained to the people sent: "This acquisition is focused on a quick word, to achieve lightning acquisition! This moment is the lowest point in Morgan Stanley's history. In the first two months, well-known financial circles The banker John Mack resigned, and now he has encountered the '2 incident' and suffered the heaviest loss. Therefore, as long as the price can make Morgan Stanley's board of directors happy, they may not consider selling it to us!!!"

Morgan Stanley is a world-leading international financial services company whose business scope covers investment banking, securities, investment management, and wealth management. The acquisition of Morgan Stanley is of great help to Li Zetian's property management. Therefore, Morgan Stanley has become Li Zetian's acquisition target.

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

Li Zetian bought Morgan Stanley at the market value price before the "911 Incident", so the major shareholders of Morgan Stanley immediately agreed.

On the morning of September 9, Li Zetian signed an agreement with them.

Selena and Vanessa, who followed Li Zetian, looked extremely surprised.

"Morgan Stanley, which is well-known in the world, can be acquired so easily..." Vanessa sighed.

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

After a pause, Li Zetian said: "The statistics of the casualties have come out, and it is time to pay compensation to the victims of the Chronos Airlines flight and the victims of the World Trade Center. Oh, yes, American Airlines does What kind of compensation has been paid, and is the amount high?"

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

"Hehe," Li Zetian said with a smile, "You say, if the compensation on our side is high, won't it be embarrassing for American Airlines?"

Selena and Vanessa looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Obviously, they all guessed that Li Zetian was going to make a fool of American Airlines this time. Who made it the biggest competitor of Chronos Airlines? .
