Chapter 508: Asking the Chinese for Help
Los Angeles, Santa Monica.
Here are Highway 66, which represents American culture, the oldest marina in Los Angeles, beautiful coastal beaches, lively beach carnivals, exciting Pacific amusement parks and world-class shopping halls.
The Coastline Group's offline retail flagship store in California is not only located here, but also North American films have been established in this world-famous coastal town.
"The United States is also full of disasters and difficulties. There are big fires and big power outages. Who can I spare my life? I will do evil and suffer the consequences."
North American retail film assembly stands by the floor-to-ceiling window and looks out. Well, he admits that this idea is a bit unauthorized, but it makes people feel very happy.
Santa Monica at this time was not as good as the legendary one. Thousands of tourists were hopeless. How much impact would the lack of electricity have on modern life? For most people, they were heartbroken.
This major power outage in western North America affected the normal lives of 70 to 80 million people, which was equivalent to 22% of the population in the United States being affected, and every minute and every second of the economic losses are immeasurable astronomical figures.
However, in the case where most stores in Santa Monica operate in a dark and banks are closed, the only offline flagship store of Coastline Group continues to operate calmly and normally. Just two hours ago, the electricity supply has resumed.
Instead, it has led to a small sales of phm-s devices.
As for the source of electricity in the store, of course it was transported from China.
Other local places or business units are still busy preparing for emergency power generation, but it is also very limited. Some units have backup generators, but they have not been moved for more than ten years. If you pull them out, it will break down when you need to use them at critical moments. Do you think it’s annoying?
There are more units that do not have emergency backup energy at all. When it comes to this matter, they can only stare at them and wait for the place to restore power supply as soon as possible. During this period, there is nothing to do except scold "Bichi", "Madfak".
"President Cheng, Los Angeles' current mayor Grenavis came to visit." The assistant knocked in and reported.
"Greenaves? What did he come to me for? He came in person?" Cheng Manlou looked suspicious and the assistant added: "I don't know, but he seems to be quite urgent. Do you want to see him?"
"See you." Cheng Manlou thought for a moment and roughly realized the other party's purpose.
After leaving this house, a few minutes later, the two parties met in the reception room downstairs. Grenavis simply met him, saving all the polite words: "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry for coming to visit, but you should know about the western region now. It's a disaster. We urgently need your help."
"Help? Mr. Grenavis, please tell me in detail." Cheng Manlou reached out and said, both sides were sitting on the same sofa. In fact, he had already expected that he did not know each other and had no intersection with the mayor of Los Angeles. He must have seen that there is a large-scale power outage in western North America, while coastline retail stores have supplied power on their own after half an hour.
I fell in love with this one.
Sure enough, Grenavis said with great enthusiasm: "We need you to provide us with emergency power supply in the power outage area..."
However, he just spoke up and interrupted him: "Sorry, Mr. Mayor, the power outages in several continents in western North America, and even Vancouver, Canada, was not spared. We do not have so much electricity to provide, which is impossible. Although China accounts for one-third of the world's power generation, it still cannot meet the development needs of our country."
Speaking of this, Cheng Manlou added: "Maybe you don't know that the space-based energy system for life light in our company has just started. There are currently only six transmission satellites over North America, and the current radio energy is allocated to the space-based system by a wireless transmission tower located in Yongzhen. It was officially put into operation two weeks ago, and the supply of radio energy is very limited."
Grenavis thought to himself: I don’t care about this. Who asked you Chinese to build so many damn high-speed rail lines? How can that thing not eat electricity?
Then, the mayor of Los Angeles said: "Mr. Cheng, I understand what you said. We do not want you to provide emergency backup energy directly for all areas, but hope that you can help major hospitals provide emergency energy supply, which is certainly OK."
Seeing Chengmanlou's attitude of not getting into the air, he cursed in his heart, but on the surface he was moved, he immediately said: "Countless lives are waiting for surgery, and they need treatment in an extremely urgent way. At present, the emergency medical service calls received by the western power outage area have reached 1.62 million times, and Los Angeles alone has reached 120,000 times..."
This is what you say... You, the American Empire, have time to ask for help?
Cheng Manlou hesitated for a while, but he had no authority to make this decision for the film president. At this time, the assistant came to him and whispered: "Cheng Cheng, the landline phone number in your office was called by the embassy."
embassy?
Cheng Manlou unexpectedly glanced at his assistant, then turned around and glanced at the Americans who were visiting Grenavis.
It seems that they have done a lot of work, these Americans...
The embassy called, and the Americans felt deeply sympathized with the disaster at this time, so they silently offered some conditions, which must be like this. The Americans must have given benefits, but they don’t have benefits. There is no cheap lunch in the world, and I never do business at a loss.
"Transfer it." Cheng Manlou ordered to his assistant, then looked at Grenavis: "Sorry, I'm missing a little."
After saying that, he immediately got up, took out a wireless earplug and put it in his ear, and then adjusted the holographic bracelet on his wrist to a floating screen for skillful operation.
About three minutes, Chengmanlou ended the call with the embassy in North America and then called a number.
...
At the same time, Huaxia, Yongzhen.
When the western part of North America is currently upset by a major power outage, the eastern hemisphere has entered about two in the morning.
Basically, those who have not slept at this point are all part of the immortal cultivation party.
Ye Hua did not sleep. His physique is now enough to sleep for only three or four hours a day. Going to bed late and getting up early is the norm, and he has already entered the realm of the Immortal Emperor.
But when he arrived at this point, he was ready to go to bed. Ye Hua went to the master bedroom and saw Lan Ping alone, and said casually: "Where are the two of them?"
Of course, it refers to Qiao Wei and Kitagawa Ayako. Today, it was not Shuangxiu Shanna who didn’t come. Lan Ping lies sideways and looks at him hooking her fingers and laughs: “The spring night is so short that you have to have fun, and you can only sleep at night with tiredness…”
"I'm right, the night has been on the rise." Ye Hua brought the gun and came as she wished, but at this time Xiaoyin's voice sounded: "Master, the retail film assembly in the North American market is full of the floor and requested to call you? The signal source comes from Los Angeles."
"What time is it that smelly robot that is not sympathetic?" Lan Ping was very dissatisfied with Xiaoyin's sudden jump out to destroy the atmosphere. There is also the retail president in the United States, who is also a bastard. I wonder if this is 15 times faster than Los Angeles?
It was midnight...
Xiaoyin: "Although Xiaoyin has corrected it many times, it will still correct it. Xiaoyin is a digital life, not a robot."
Lan Ping: "You are!"
Ye Hua shook his head helplessly and made a gesture of banning voices. Lan Ping was very obedient and became a quiet beauty.
"Click here, there is nothing important, I won't call you in the middle of the night."
After a while, Cheng Manlou's voice sounded: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I'm disturbing you so late."
Ye Hua responded lightly: "Just know, what a long story is to tell me."
Chengmanlou: "Uh... OK. A large-scale power outage occurred in western regions such as California, North America and other places more than two hours ago. The local state government asked our company for help, hoping that we would provide emergency power and energy support to the local area, and also contacted the local embassy..."
