Chapter seven hundred and seventy second tsunami
Tsunami is called "tsunami" in many Western languages. The word originated from Japanese because the most affected area in history is on the Pacific coast. The Japanese have unparalleled fear of various tsunamis coming and destroying everything along the way. They regard it as a national disaster second only to a major earthquake.
The magnitude of the Indonesian subsea earthquake reached an unprecedented magnitude 9 level in Asia, and the energy released exceeded the total energy consumed by the United States in one month, equivalent to the power of 7.5 US largest nuclear warheads (25 million tons of tnt equivalent) at one time. It caused some small islands in Sumatra, the epicenter, to translate about 20 meters. Such huge energy was transmitted through the long wave of the tsunami. The power can be imagined.
Human beings are not without precautions for the huge harm of tsunamis, but a complete early warning mechanism has long been formed internationally. Since it usually occurs on the coast near the Pacific earthquake belt, governments of countries (regions) facing the Pacific have joined in and established an effective tsunami warning network, and constantly introduced common sense of refuge to local people along the coast. Now, it is basically possible to achieve a tsunami just happened in Japan, and people far away on the west coast of the United States can receive an alarm and evacuate the coastline in time. Because although the tsunami is powerful, it is always a marine disaster. No matter how high the waves are, you don’t have to worry about danger if you can hide in a higher terrain.
But what's special about the tsunami of this Indonesia earthquake is that the long waves of the tsunami are heading straight to the Indian Ocean. Given that the recent tsunami in the region was a hundred years ago and there had not been such a disaster for a long time, the locals almost forgot the threat of the tsunami. As a result, they suffered a great loss. Because there was no defense system like the Pacific tsunami warning system, many residents and tourists along the Indian Ocean were swept away by the huge waves, especially in Indonesia, where the epicenter was located. The country has become the worst-hit place, with more than 100,000 casualties after the disaster.
Originally, Yang Xing almost forgot about this great disaster in his previous life. Fortunately, he used modern technology to preserve his memories of his previous life as much as possible. This great disaster was also ranked among the major events in 2004. Although in 1998, he secretly sneaked into Indonesia with Lin Jiana's mercenaries and made a big fuss, killing the commander of Indonesia's special forces, so he has always had a bad impression of this country. But people's hearts are full of flesh. In addition, as the largest and most populous country in Southeast Asia, the Indonesian market is an indispensable part of his career in occupying Asian business strategy, so in order to welcome the arrival of this great disaster, Yang Xing made a lot of detailed preparations before and afterwards.
Since the ** incident, Indonesia's vitality was severely damaged. The Chinese capital flowing out of Indonesia and the subsequent waves of currency depreciation frenzy that it encountered later caused Indonesia's direct book economic losses of up to 100 billion US dollars. This has not yet counted the various invisible economic losses caused by the Asian financial crisis. Fortunately, the Indonesian military military coup caused the political strongman Suharto to step down and quickly returned the government to the elected government. After the new government came to power, it completely changed its attitude to suppress Chinese people in China. Actively make friends with Asian neighbors such as China and open up the domestic economy.
After entering the new millennium, Indonesia's economic growth rate has remained above 5%, and it has basically restored its confidence as the largest country in Southeast Asia. Even Yang Xing regards it as one of the "Nine Golden Diamond Kingdoms". It is regarded as a very potential economic leader in future developing countries. Zhongxing Group is focusing on developing two major markets in Asia and North America. The Southeast Asian market is the focus of deep cultivation. Indonesia is the largest country in the region, so naturally it will not let it go.
Moreover, the family of Lin Yanghu, the richest man in Indonesia, was greatly impacted by the Indonesian ** incident. In a disheartening manner, he resold most of his business to Yang Xing. Later, when the Suharto family was searched, Zhongxing Group even took advantage of the low-level acquisition to attract many local high-quality assets. Now Zhongxing Group is one of the top foreign investors in Indonesia, and its industries are spread all over the country. When this tsunami comes, Zhongxing Group's local branches will definitely become the main force in rescue.
Before the tsunami, Xingdou Research Institute established an organization to study under the banner of surveying Indonesia's submarine oil and gas resources, and sponsored the company to establish a small tsunami surveillance system. It also took advantage of the group's advantages in electronics and information technology. In the group's business of communication companies with a huge number of customers, it added the function of SMS to predict natural disasters for free. Before the Indonesian tsunami, it won a few minutes of alarm time for many people, greatly reducing coastal casualties, especially foreign tourists on beach vacations. Many people are grateful for this "life-saving text message" system and donated money to support the establishment of a real Indian Ocean tsunami warning mechanism.
Although the group did not understand why Yang Xing had to spend a lot of money and privately paid for the establishment of the system in coastal countries along the Indian Ocean, they did so out of their respect for Yang Xing. It was not until the tsunami that the boss had a great vision. This anti-tsunami system played an unimaginable role and saved millions of lives. Not only did the boss's reputation and the group's social responsibility evaluation greatly increased, but it also greatly improved the situation in India, Maldives and other countries, which had always been resistant to Zhongxing Group's commercial expansion in the region. They invited Zhongxing's kind multinational companies to invest, and the problems that plagued the market development department for a long time were solved. We have to admire the boss's far-sighted vision!
Although the Indian Ocean tsunami occurred in a short time, its huge harm makes post-disaster reconstruction as well as pre-disaster warnings. Since most of the affected people are countries and regions with underdeveloped economic and transportation, the tsunami has caused a lot of messes of transportation, food and electricity, and it is a big problem to only allow the international community to distribute humanitarian rescue materials to the hands of disaster victims. For this reason, many Hong Kong transportation companies led by Xinghai Logistics donated money and contributed their efforts, and sent multiple aircraft and freighters to transport disaster relief materials for free.
On this day, Yang Xing was pushed by the public relations department to end his Christmas holiday early. As the representative of the image of Zhongxing Group, he came to the dock not far from Sky Star City, inspecting the disaster relief supplies ships and personnel in the disaster area to carry out publicity. Yang Xing stood in the bitter rain and cold wind, rubbing the tip of his cold nose, while pretending to have a kind smile in front of the camera to show his people-friendly image. He secretly complained that it is indeed difficult to deal with money these days. After he was named the third richest man in the world, this kind of rest work increased greatly, which made Yang Xing very annoyed. It was not until he saw two familiar faces on the scene that he temporarily forgot the cold.
The two women in front of him were his acquaintances, so familiar that he knew every inch of their skin. They were Meng Qingqiu and Pang Youjuan, who had not seen each other for a long time. The two amazing women who were not stained with the mud, from being trapped in the dust to being rescued by Yang Xing, and then left him and devoted themselves to Buddhism and charity.
Yang Xing once asked them to manage the "Sunshine Fund" to prevent domestic violence and help women and children in need. They did not disappoint and made the "Sunshine Fund" the leader of such non-governmental organizations in China. Now the "Sunshine Fund" offices are spread all over the country. The "Sunshine Midway Travel" took in "Sunshine Midway Travel" and other vulnerable groups in society, such as domestic violence, and trafficked children, have reached hundreds of thousands. They have been followed and interviewed by many domestic and foreign media. The two women have become the "living Bodhisattvas" in the minds of vulnerable women and children in China.
Yang Xing was very happy to meet them unexpectedly at the wharf. Although there was no relationship between husband and wife, the second daughter did not look for men after leaving him, and often kept in touch with him. He became his confidante who could talk about everything. The three of them met again after a long time of separation and had a lot of things to say, so Yang Xing ordered the bodyguards around him to drive the car and follow him. He and the second daughter walked in peace and walked back to the sky star city along the wharf, and talked about what happened after the parting.
Meng Qingqiu and Pang Youjuan told him that there was a reason for them to appear here. This Indian Ocean tsunami has attracted widespread attention in China. Now that the people are rich, the people's charity mentality has improved a lot. In order to aid the Indian Ocean victims, the first large-scale voluntary fundraising activity was carried out in China for foreign disasters. Of course, the "Sunshine" Foundation is indispensable. Yang Xing hosted the departing ceremony of China's donated materials headed by the "Sunshine" Fund. As the leader of the foundation, they thought they should go to the disaster area in person and hand over the disaster relief materials to the victims in person to feel at ease. Unexpectedly, they met Yang Xing.
Seeing that their thin but energetic state was indeed a world of difference from the decadent and self-destructive image he had in the "******" club, Yang Xing felt very comforted. It seemed that under the influence of religion and the appropriate development environment, their personalities and destiny have finally changed their personality and destiny. Although he was still a little reluctant to leave them, he was able to express his feelings, "Please be happier than me."
The three of them had a lot of fun talking, and suddenly excitedly told the story of Pang Youjuan, who had obtained the first lama in the **Dalun Temple, who stopped and said in confusion: "I feel something is wrong?" Yang Xing was stunned for a moment. At the same time, his instinct after practicing the Dragon and Tiger Alchemy Tripod for a long time also felt that it was wrong. Then several electronic products on his body made sharp noises. He took out his phone and saw that there were only white electronic interference signals left on it.
"No, there is an ambush!" As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw Pang Youjuan pounce on him, and at the same time a huge blood flower bloomed on her chest. The huge impact from her bodyguards knocked down with the bodyguards who supported her. "Sniper!" The bodyguards shouted and showed off their weapons and fought back in the direction of the bullets.
Yang Xing felt the warm blood gushing out of Pang Youjuan's body in his arms flowing all over him, and tears burst out of his eyes, but he looked at Meng Qingqiu, who was still standing still in a frightened state, and knew that he had no time to be sad, so he jumped up and pulled her down. He immediately made a judgment on the situation in his mind and handed Meng Qingqiu to a bodyguard beside him. He ordered loudly: "Their target is me, hurry up and take her by car!"
