Chapter 175: The outbreak of 911

Monday, September 11, 2001, Manhattan, New York.

In New York in September, the temperature is around 10-18 degrees Celsius, which makes people feel very comfortable. The sky is clear and many people are starting a new busy day.

With the end of the rest day and the beginning of a new week, this international metropolis has once again become bustling with people and unusually noisy, especially the New York Stock Exchange, which is crowded with people in front of it.

I am very excited about the reopening of the market today.

All securities staff are full of hope for the future and believe that in this new week, the economy will continue to develop vigorously.

But no one could have imagined that at this moment, in the sky of the United States, various radio signals suddenly went crazy and were sent and received in large numbers, and various information was continuously exchanged. It was just because several planes lost contact that it was impossible to determine

Exact location.

Not long after that, two F-15 Eagle fighter jets scrambled from the Massachusetts Air Force Base to search for missing American Airlines Flight 11 near New York.

The New York Fire Department was also notified, but it was not yet sure whether it was a rescue operation or preparation to prevent an attack.

Unfortunately, such a reaction was too late. At the same time, the 11 missing flights hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. There were 92 people on board. The plane crashed directly into the upper middle part of the building, 30 meters above the ground.

Located on the 20th floor.

Less than ten minutes later, the hijacked American Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center with 64 people on board.

The two 411-meter-tall, 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center were hit by fire. At 9:45 and 10:30, the two towers in the north and south collapsed one after another, and thousands of people were immediately buried under the rubble.

At 9:37, the third hijacked United Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon of the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington. There were 65 passengers and crew on board, and one wing of the Pentagon collapsed.

Since then, a fire broke out near the U.S. Presidential Palace, and bomb explosions occurred near the State Department building and Capitol Hill.

At the same time in Pennsylvania, at 10 a.m. local time, another hijacked United Airlines flight 93 from New Jersey to San Francisco crashed near 80 miles from Pittsburgh, with 45 passengers and crew on board.

people.

The residents of Manhattan looked at the apocalyptic scene and fell completely into silence, followed closely by madness. Some people ran towards places they thought were safe, while others knelt on the ground, looking completely lost.

.

But there were also some brave people who rushed to the center of the disaster and began to rescue survivors immediately.

And more people outside New York City were watching the news on TV and fell into an incredible trance, including one who was eating breakfast in a ranch in Texas.

Kaos and Lin Yifei's two families.

"Oh my God, how could this happen?"

Jess stood up, full of disbelief. There had been no attacks in the United States for many years since Pearl Harbor.

Then he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Kaos. Seeing the incredible look on his face, he relaxed a little.

After a moment of silence, Jess picked up his phone and walked out. When something like this happened, as the federal minister of the interior, he naturally needed to get in touch with his superiors as soon as possible to determine the next step.

plan.

After his father left, Kaos got up and made a phone call, and began to lay out the next action plan. With advance psychological preparation, Kaos naturally handled the matter in an orderly manner.

Companies such as Google will not be greatly affected, and with Carson's handling, there will not be any big problems. Kaos is more likely to contact Jones Investment Company and prepare to short the US stock market through indirectly controlled companies.

.

Although the action was arranged in this way, in fact Kaos could not say so. Instead, if necessary, he would need to cooperate with the government to make statements later to show that he was very confident in the stock market and that when someone was shorting

In this case, there will be remarks about bailing out the market.

This is the way of survival for a capitalist. Saying one thing and doing another is the kingly way. After all, the words on the lips are a person's moral benchmark, but how the body behaves is the greedy nature of human beings.

In Kaos's opinion, there was nothing wrong with either of them. He just made a mistake that ordinary people would make.

Even conversely, I think that what he is doing now is to make more charitable donations in the future and send warmth from society to the victims and their families. This is a kind act of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

When he returned to the restaurant after arranging everything, he found that the place was empty. Almost everyone was on the phone, contacting people around them, notifying them of their safety and asking how the other party was doing.

Even Lin Yifei did the same and called her classmates in New York and Paris.

On the contrary, Kaos does not need to do this. The people he cares about are already in the ranch. As for Ivana and her children, although they were not picked up by Kaos, they are relatively safer.

Because the other party is currently in Seoul, South Korea, aggressively acquiring local real estate and conducting real estate speculation.

After the Asian financial crisis, South Korea's real estate market also suffered a huge blow, with house prices in South Korea falling by nearly half.

In order to support the construction industry, quickly restore the economy, and stimulate economic growth, the Korean government relaxed restrictions on apartment transfers in 1997. At the same time, the Bank of Korea implemented a low interest rate policy, which successfully activated the Korean real estate market.

Kaos gave this information to Ivana when Ivana came to see him in June. As a real estate businessman, he immediately understood the meaning and went to South Korea with his children.

So far, he has not come back.

According to the news received by Kaos, after Ivana learned about the situation in Southeast Asia, she not only made real estate investments in South Korea, but also extended her tentacles to Hong Kong and the Mainland, and began to make limited investments in the two places.

.

"Huh... Fortunately, your uncle's family took your grandpa to the mainland. Otherwise, if this disaster happened, I don't know what I would have done."

It was my mother who finished the phone call after Kaos. The other party breathed a sigh of relief when she came back.

Although she knew that at the end of last year, due to the expansion of the mainland market, her brother's family went to the mainland, but seeing the news on TV, Han Huixian couldn't help but make a phone call to make sure that the other party's family had not returned to New York.

This is human nature in the face of disaster. Just like Lin Xiaoli is currently on the phone with the country, reporting on her current safety. The number of calls today will probably create a new historical peak.
