Chapter 1538 Blackout (Part 1)

The U.S. stock market was the first to fluctuate. However, this is a good sign. This is definitely good news. The Dow Jones index and the Nasdaq index rose slightly in an instant, and the price of crude oil fell slightly, which is completely in line with the previous trend predicted by everyone.

The layout was made one and a half hours in advance, and the layout has already been in place, and this wave of small market has been firmly grasped, and then quietly waiting for more markets to open.

Guo Tailai knew that he had no influence in the face of this general economic situation, and was halfway across the world, so there was no help for him except to watch, so after learning from Lin Jiayi that everything was going according to plan, he felt relieved to put everything together. The work was handed over to Lin Jiayi, and she continued to sleep.

Of course, before going to bed, Guo Tailai did not forget to call Chu Fei who was far away in the United States, asking her to go home immediately from now on. In the next few days, stay in the mansion in Beverly and do not go out. The mansion has already prepared enough supplies, and there are security personnel and service personnel, so there is no need to worry about any trouble.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Chu Fei obediently rushed home, turned on the TV, and slowly watched the news from various channels. Fatty has never warned himself so seriously before, once when he left the United States, and again in a serious manner on the phone, obviously it is not a trivial matter.

When I woke up, it seemed that there was nothing exciting except the good news from Iraq. People in China sighed more or less when they watched the morning TV news and news on the Internet.

So far, the Americans have not found any traces of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that is to say, the reason for the war they flaunted will not stand until the end of the war. However, the United States is powerful, even if countless people in the world feel that Iraq is wronged, so what? The war is over and the tyrant's rule has been overthrown. Can the Americans still be caught and demanded to compensate Iraq for war losses?

Of course, in other stock and futures markets around the world, a bloodless battle is going on, and the smoke is full. It was the evening in Iraq when the raid was launched, and it was very sudden, but by the time the Asian market opened, it was already a few hours later, and the news had already spread. It's just dialing the market.

However, when almost the vast majority of people think it is good news, there are a few stocks that are bearish, acting against everyone. The operation of this batch of funds was so weird that everyone who saw them couldn't help laughing. Such great news, actually bearish? Isn't this a fool? Send money to everyone!

The market in Japan has just opened for more than an hour. Affected by the good news from the Iraqi battlefield, the Nikkei index rose by 2.3% just after the opening of the market. Judging from this posture, there is still an upward trend. Now, more people simply can't understand the short-sighted funds. Why would anyone think there is a problem with the obvious things?

It's just that the happy people haven't warmed up their happy mood, and suddenly a breaking news fills all the big and small screens.

Unexplained blackout in New York City. Affected by the blackout in New York City, several states in the northeastern United States repeated the same mistakes as the blackout in the United States and Canada last month. In a short period of time, hundreds of power stations tripped. In addition to the eight states that were affected last time, even Washington, D.C. was affected this time. The entire east coast of the United States seemed to have suddenly returned to the Middle Ages and fell into darkness in an instant.

Due to the impact of the power outage, even the network has problems. Only a few facilities that do not need power grid power can still operate normally, and some news is still transmitted back quickly through various methods.

This is not over yet, only less than 20 minutes apart, on the west coast of North America, it seems that someone has deliberately turned off all the city switches, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, successive power supply failures, the entire west coast is also in trouble In the vast darkness.

Boom, everyone who received the news was horrified, what's going on? what happened? Could it be that the United States and Canada have suffered terrorist attacks again? Why are all the coastal cities without power?

Before getting specific news, the stock markets of Japan and South Korea, which had been rising just now, suddenly plummeted thousands of miles. Now the global economy can be said to affect the whole body. If the United States, the world's largest economy, suffers another 9/11, I am afraid that it will bring more than just economic turmoil. The performance in the stock market is just the initial reaction of capital instinct, and there will be a series of terrible consequences in the future.

People will never forget that after 9/11, the United States frantically searched for targets, then frantically attacked Afghanistan, and then began to attack Iraq. Now that Afghanistan is occupied, and Iraq has just killed the dictator, what's next? Which country should I choose to target next?

The time of the power outage in the United States happened to be 9:30 p.m. on the east coast, and it was still 6:30 p.m. on the west coast. People were still awake. The sudden power outage made the residents in the affected areas start to panic subconsciously. Some time ago, the power outage in the United States and Canada Shadows once again enveloped everyone's hearts.

Under the cover of darkness and the darkness that was coming, the riots that occurred during the last power outage were repeated, and various stores were looted and looters abound. Fires and police incidents came and went, the sound of police cars and ambulances never stopped, and even gunshots rang out in many places, causing chaos.

In the mansion, Chu Fei couldn't even watch the TV for a while, and it took a quarter of an hour before she resumed reporting. This is the TV station's own generator power supply, which quickly resumed the news broadcast. Seeing that almost half of the United States and a small half of Canada fell into the hysteria of a power outage again, Chu Fei couldn't believe her eyes.

No wonder the fat man told him to go home quickly and not to go out. If he went out now, he must be facing a chaotic city, and his safety could not be guaranteed. As for how my fat man would have expected something to happen in advance, it doesn't matter at all, okay or not.

The upheaval in the United States has also affected the Singapore stock market. It didn't take long for the stock market to rise at the opening, but it also took a sharp turn for the worse.

The incident happened suddenly, and the US government quickly dispatched a large number of police to stabilize the city's law and order, and even dispatched the National Guard, finally confining the sudden riot to a small area.

Six hours later, the government spokesperson issued an announcement in the middle of the night. The power outage was caused by aging equipment and improper operation of the power system when updating equipment, which caused a short-circuit burning in a super-large high-voltage substation. Now the fire has been completely controlled , It's not a terrorist attack, don't panic.

Various cities have also begun to restore power supply one after another. Many people who have been paying attention to the situation in North America breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder the impact was so great. It turned out that a large substation was burned.

Affected by this news, the stock markets of European countries that had just opened were relatively stable, and even rose slightly on a small scale. They continued to be optimistic about the good news of the killing of the dictator and his son.
