Chapter 363: Heavy Punch Response
After being rejected, he felt that he didn't mind showing his strength to the Zhu family and let them understand what a good choice this would be.
Douglas, with the help of his servant, connected to the TV, transferred to the CNN channel, and said, "Your Excellency, the latest news!"
"Douglas, please keep quiet." Anthony scolded in a majestic voice, without looking at the TV, sat on the soft and comfortable sofa opposite, lifted up his wine glass, and signaled the servant to pour wine. "Douglas, you should drink two."
"Your Excellency, it's not the time to drink!" Douglas replied seriously.
Anthony disagreed and took a sip of wine and changed into a more comfortable position.
TV is timely replaying the midnight news of the hot online column of BBC News Channel.
The anchor said in the tone of the tablet: "Now I will broadcast a news to you, the news that the BBC reporter had just sent back from the front. Today, at 3 pm Jinghua time, that is, at 3 pm New York time, Xiangjing City Hongwu Group, located in southern China, held a press conference, claiming that it had built a thermonuclear reactor and announced that it would start building the world's first thermonuclear power plant later this year. Let's take a look at the reports sent back from the front."
At this time, Anthony's goblet glass stayed on his lips, keeping the gesture of pouring wine into his mouth.
However, there was no swallowing in his throat. The transparent wine spread across his lips, rolled through his wet beard, and spread onto his clothes.
His eyes were straight waiting for the TV screen, and he looked like a severe Parkinson's disease patient, motionless.
The TV switched the screen, a female reporter with a thick and smeared face stood in front of the camera, holding the microphone of the BBC TV station logo in her hand, with the noisy Hongwu Group press conference in the background.
"Dear viewers, I am sending you a report back to Xiangjing. Not long ago, Hongwu Group President Zhu Qingshen announced the construction of the world's first thermonuclear power plant and the first unit will be built within five years. At that time, all electricity needs in Xiangjing, Zhonghai, Guangnan and other provinces and cities, including industry, commerce, and residents' lives will be met."
The background noise is a bit loud, and the female reporter had to speak loudly with all her might to make it clear. "So far, there is no thermonuclear power plant in the world. Due to material limitations, the relevant technology is far away. At the Global Physics Conference in 2012, the famous physicist Horton said that it will take 30 to 50 years to complete the thermonuclear reactor. But only a few years after his assertion, Hongwu Group has built a thermonuclear reactor. I can also feel the feeling of witnessing the dawn of the eve of the Golden Age of Energy, uh...uh... that sacred and beautiful feeling is very great. To be honest, I didn't expect Hongwu Group to release such shocking news before coming."
The live broadcast, the camera has not been edited yet, and the female reporter is a little difficult to organize language, but her words can describe the atmosphere of the venue across the ocean.
The female reporter sorted out her hair and said: "We were lucky enough to interview the relevant person in charge of Yongle Technology Company, Longqing Laboratory, Professor Song Yanguo. Professor Song Yanguo is a professor of physics at Xiangjing University and a top physicist in China. His position is the deputy director of the Research Office of Longqing Laboratory. Professor Song, please."
A middle-aged man wearing large black-framed glasses appeared next to him, well-dressed and pale. Perhaps because of his long-term excessive work, Professor Song's expression was tired, and the current success of research added him an uncontrollable excitement and excitement. The two contradictory expressions mixed together made him look very strange.
The female reporter held a microphone and asked in broken Chinese: "Hello Professor Song, are all the thermonuclear reactors developed by you independently?"
English translation is reflected below the screen.
"Yes, it's completely independent research and development, and Hongwu Group has all patented technologies." Professor Song Yanguo took the microphone and answered in an extremely firm tone.
"What are the follow-up plans for Hongwu Group?"
Song Yanguo said: "What is certain is that we will build more and more thermonuclear reaction power plants. Mr. Zhu plans to use 20 to 30 years to build five thermonuclear power plants along my country's coast to meet the growing demand of my country's industry. In addition, we have new overseas plans. If the EU needs it, we will provide them with technical support. Use our technological advantages to help countries in the eurozone to build thermonuclear reaction power plants, gradually replace oil energy in the next 30 years, reduce environmental pollution, and give future generations a clean sky."
"Thank you, Professor Song."
Douglas in the room turned his head and saw Anthony taking a bath with whiskey, and couldn't help but shout, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
Anthony suddenly woke up and threw away the carved agate goblet he had loved for many years, letting the wine flow in his chest, his eyes still had not left the TV screen, and he didn't even say anything.
The cup fell on the soft and heavy carpet and rolled a few times.
On TV, Professor Song explained to female reporters a grand blueprint and great idea for future use of thermonuclear power generation.
Next, the female reporter randomly interviewed several guests on site, and the respondents showed great enthusiasm.
One of the guests from Germany even shouted in an incoherent voice: "Incredible! Absolutely incredible! They actually made a thermonuclear reactor! Oh my god! This century should be dominated by the Chinese! Oh my god, I should have sold my oil stocks long ago, and from today on, they will become worthless."
The female reporter finished the interview and said to the camera: "In a moment, we will follow the staff of Hongwu Group to Longqing Laboratory to visit the indicator thermonuclear reactor of the New World Energy Artery. I hope that the audience will continue to pay attention to our follow-up reports."
The TV switched back to the anchor room screen, and the news anchor said: "Let's see what the thermonuclear reaction means."
The TV broadcast a set of short films composed of computer special effects, picture information and video information. The BBC began to popularize the audience's knowledge about thermonuclear reactions.
Douglas glanced at him and saw Anthony curling stiffly on the sofa, his face as if dead.
Douglas couldn't help but reach out to pull his sleeve and shouted softly: "Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?"
Anthony jumped up as if he was caught in a nightmare and shouted: "Impossible! How could they have thermonuclear fusion reaction technology! Can the holy God no longer protect the country of America? Douglas, what should I do?"
As the helmsman of the Rockefeller family, he experienced countless storms throughout his life, and he always controlled the giant ship to move forward steadily, and his will was as firm as a rock. Now he could actually ask Douglas: "What should I do?" Such weak words showed that he was at a loss.
Douglas said: "Your Excellency, we must stop the crazy actions of the Hongwu Group."
In a moment, Anthony had recovered from his calmness, kicked the other person hard and said, "How do you say stop it? Just as the female reporter said, this century is already the century of China. They have a population of one-fifth of the world and a vast land, as well as a history of four thousand years. After 40 years of accumulation of reform and opening up and a long wait of two hundred years, they finally began to explode. How do you say stop this energy?"
Douglas sighed softly.
The New York Stock Exchange opened at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the stocks of ExxonMobil and other major oil companies listed around the world fell.
None of the listed companies, including coal, natural gas and solar energy, survived. Tires, plastics, fertilizers, pesticides, solutions and other petroleum derivatives also fell severely.
Almost everyone is selling stocks related to the energy industry, and other industries are deeply affected.
The stock exchange was filled with sorrow, and all the curves in the display were moving down, full of despair everywhere.
By noon, six people had already jumped from the Empire State Building with farewell slogans and fell to pieces, which once became a hot topic in social news. The management of the Empire State Building issued an apology statement announcing the emergency closure of the rooftop entrance, and media from various countries reprinted the news one after another.
By the end of the afternoon, ExxonMobil's market value evaporated by $82.5 billion.
Just one day.
News comments say this is the darkest day for stock market trading since the 21st century.
In the Honghe Valley Bar in Liuxu Lane, Yujing, who had just taken over the logistics affairs of the committee, is receiving Wu Hong, the owner of Kaifu Supermarket, the largest supermarket chain in Xiangzhang Road.
There are many residents in Xiangzhang Road, life is prosperous, and consumption demand is very high. Boss Wu opened the supermarket here four years ago, and now he has accumulated tens of millions of dollars. He is one of the celebrity entrepreneurs praised by Mayor Li.
Boss Wu came with a BMW V6 with a rectangular shoe box under his armpit and said directly at the counter that he wanted to find a monkey to do business.
Monkey was still in the hospital. Sister Huang Yueyun, the waiter for the foreman, told Boss Wu that the new General Manager Yu had taken over the position of General Manager Monkey. So Boss Wu found Yu Jing, the general manager who was hiding in the corner to drink coffee.
"I am from Kaifu Supermarket. My surname is Wu and Wu Hong." Boss Wu smiled and slowly sat opposite Yujing, saying, "I came here today to pay the management fee for last month."
"Oh, you are Boss Wu. Sorry, Mr. Monkey was laid off from work. I am currently managing him for a while. My name is Yujing, and I will deal with him frequently in the future. Please take care of Boss Wu." Yujing reached out to shake hands with the other side, poured him a cup of Lanshan coffee, and asked the waiter to serve a few delicious snacks.
"Master Yu, you are so young." Boss Wu praised insincerely.
Yu Jing picked up the bag he carried with him, flipped out the account book inside, followed the catalogue slowly, and said, "According to our agreement, you are a super-large supermarket, and the management is very difficult. You need to pay 850,000 yuan in management fees every month. Have the money been brought? I will open a receipt for you."
"This is exactly what I want to say." Wu Hong said with a smile: "Manager Yu, this time, there is a question, I want to have a good talk with you."
"Tell me." Yu Jing raised his hand and signaled that he was not polite. The Crab Committee was very good at talking to nearby businesses.
Boss Wu put the shoe box on the table, changed into a heavy tone, and said, "Mr. Yu, it's true that from last year to now, due to the international environment, our supermarket business has been in a very downturn. It has been suffering from net losses for six consecutive months and is almost unable to pay the employees' wages..."
The shoe box pushed in front of Yujing and said, "Master Yu, this is the management fee last month."
