Chapter 540 Emergency

Kodak now walks on three legs, namely consumer film and digital cameras, graphic and text printing, industrial film, and medical film. However, in terms of civilian projects, due to the rise of Fujifilm, Kodak's profitability has been greatly affected. influence, so they came up with the plan to establish a three-year monopoly in the Chinese market.

If the Chinese government agrees to merge and acquire the entire Chinese film industry, Kodak's goal will be achieved. Any foreign investors will be excluded from the Chinese market for three years, which is enough for Kodak to form a perfect monopoly operation. .

Of course, the digital camera industry has not yet formed a large scale, and the price of printing is also a bit high, and it is still far away from the market explosion. Therefore, China's digital industry will only enter after the advent of the Internet era. explosion period, and before that, the only digital operators in China were in dismal business.

Regarding these situations, Fan Wubing has a clear understanding, that is, most of the pioneers of China's Internet and digital products have become pioneers in the industry, and the so-called pioneers are the earliest to enter and the fastest to die.

The next morning, Fan Wubing saw the news, which was broadcasting the continuous evacuation of flood fighters. After all, everyone had been fighting on the embankment for almost two months, and it was time to stop fighting. .

Jiujiang people will be grateful to the people's soldiers and will always remember them. Without them, Jiujiang City would have been damaged. It can be said that they built a levee with their bodies and lives to protect this city that they may have heard of for the first time.

Fan Wubing was very aware of the situation at that time, because it was in the hottest summer days at that time, and because there were many problems with the embankment construction, large-scale machinery could not enter in many places, so the soldiers had to hold them with their hands and carry them on their shoulders. Carry the stone over.

In fact, many of the soldiers were children of 17 or 18 years old, but they did regard themselves as soldiers. Their hands were broken and their legs were injured, but they just rushed forward without anyone flinching. This was what he saw with his own eyes.

After completing a mission, a troop took a temporary rest on the embankment, ready to rush to another dangerous place at any time. Heat waves hit our faces on the river, and with the scorching sun above our heads, thirst is unavoidable. The water in the river is not drinkable. Many people's lips are chapped with thirst and there is no blood at all.

The people were heartbroken. Passers-by paid for mineral water and sent it to them. I wonder if they were disciplined and no one touched the water around them. Fan Wubing, who was passing by, saw this situation and communicated with their officers before giving an order for them to drink water.

During that more than a month, Jiujiang was like a battlefield, with troops everywhere, with various numbers and services. Military vehicles were parked on the streets. Soldiers with red armbands patrolled the streets. All government agencies and schools were under surveillance. Give the house to the army,

So at that time, Jiujiang could see a scene of one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps.

The people of Jiujiang were indeed very grateful to the soldiers. People organized themselves by the lake to wash and replenish them. The taxi driver stopped the car and bought them drinks with his own money. At that time, there were not many factories and mines in Jiujiang that could do this. Wages are paid normally, but people are very generous to the soldiers. Daily necessities and other things are given to them in batches and in a steady stream. It should be said that they really share the joys and sorrows.

Fan Wubing was aware of this, and provided unprecedented material support. Because he was worried that relying solely on logistics support vehicles to process vegetables and meat would sometimes be inconvenient, he also specifically asked Boss Wang and the others to organize efforts to process special products. Ham sausage is a nutritious meal with vegetables, grains and meat in a certain proportion.

It's just that this kind of stuff has a short shelf life and needs to be stored at low temperatures, so it's all freshly made and shipped here. At that time, Fan Wubing also gave the death order and asked a transport plane to move a production line over, directly to Jiujiang. Er began production and processing, making every effort to ensure the supply of the army.

As for those logistics support vehicles, although they were temporarily modified, the military commanders were very interested. Therefore, Fan Wubing said without hesitation that after the flood fight, all these logistics support vehicles would be donated to the military who participated in the flood fight. All troops.

Now, the flood is finally over and the soldiers are leaving.

It can be seen from the TV screen that people took to the streets and stood on the roadside to see them off. Because there were so many people seeing them off, the military vehicles could only move forward little by little. People pulled the soldiers' arms. He refused to let go of his hands and threw the candy, water and gifts he bought directly into the car, regardless of whether he knew the soldiers in the car or not.

There was a scene that shocked Fan Wubing very much. Several cars could not move. The officers and soldiers on the cars had to get out of the car and shake hands with the people one by one to say goodbye. At this time, an old man suddenly knelt down in front of the soldiers, with tears all over his face. The soldiers obviously did not have this experience, and they were helpless to help her up. The old man just hugged one of the soldiers and said something in a strong Jiujiang dialect. Fan Wubing estimated that the soldiers must not have understood anything, but like that Scenes and words are powerless, but the feelings in the heart are the most real. As for why the old man knelt down, no one knows, it just makes people simply moved.

Fan Wubing, who had personally experienced the flood fight, knew that this was not an act, but a true expression of emotion.

The casualties of the troops were also unavoidable. Someone was patrolling on the river bank and saw a military uniform floating on the shore, as if there was a soldier in the water. The man tried to fish it out with his hands, and five soldiers emerged from the water with their arms tightly linked together, their teeth tightly clenched. Later, others spent a lot of effort to separate them. These soldiers were all killed by the flood when they tried to block the flood with their bodies.

Many soldiers had never seen rivers and lakes before, and they could not swim, but when they arrived here, they jumped in without hesitation, just to defend the levee.

Fan Wubing also saw the figure of his father Fan Heng on the screen. On behalf of the top leaders, he expressed condolences to the troops who participated in the flood relief and expressed gratitude to the troops for their support on behalf of the local government. From the screen, after experiencing this summer, many white hairs appeared between his father Fan Heng's temples.

In a sense, although Fan Heng had experienced so many things, he could be said to be exhausted physically and mentally, but he was still satisfied in spirit, because standing in this position, he could really do something practical for the people, which was not in vain.

Especially this time, Fan Heng led the entire Jiangnan Provincial Government to ensure that there was no major disaster in Jiangnan Province, and strongly supported the flood control work of Jiujiang Dam. He personally went to Jiujiang at the most important time to command the flood control work, achieved victory in the flood control work, saved Jiujiang City, and did not use several flood discharge areas near Jiujiang City, avoiding great losses. This achievement is amazing.

However, because of the flood discharge, Jiangnan Province still suffered some losses. In order to reduce the pressure of the flood peak, Jiangnan Province opened two flood discharge areas. Although it reduced the pressure downstream and avoided greater losses, Jiangnan Province lost more than 100 million yuan for this.

Relatively speaking, this loss is bearable. After all, according to the current statistics of losses in flood control work across the country, the national loss is about 50 to 60 billion yuan, which is far less than the nearly 300 billion yuan in Fan Wubing's memory. The flood control losses in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been reduced to the lowest. Among these 50 to 60 billion, many of them are in other provinces and cities.

Fan Wubing was watching it, and suddenly the TV had no signal and a black screen appeared.

"Hmm? What's going on?" Fan Wubing was about to ask what happened when the phone rang.

"Mr. Fan, the network to the United States is completely disconnected. Now we can't access any websites in the United States." His subordinates said to him anxiously.

Fan Wubing was also shocked, thinking what went wrong? It's okay if one or two websites have problems, but why can't all the websites in the United States be accessed?

"Don't you use the satellite network?" Fan Wubing asked.

"The satellite network is normal, but the several lines connected through the submarine cable are all interrupted. Could it be a hacker attack?" After answering the question, the subordinates asked with some doubt.

Fan Wubing curled his lips and said, "Where can there be such a powerful hacker? Even the king of hackers can't do it! Hehe, paralyzing the entire American website, there is only one possibility."

"What possibility?" The subordinates were a little confused at this time. After all, the network company under the Fan Investment Group is responsible for the communication tasks of many domestic optical cable trunk lines. At this time, the calls reflecting the inability to access the Internet have already blown up the company's hotline. How can they not be anxious?

If it is because of his company that the customer cannot access the Internet, then the compensation issue will be a headache. After all, many people say that they are dealing with very important matters online. If the Internet is disconnected, the loss will be immeasurable.

Fan Wubing answered very confidently, "It is probably the submarine cable between China and the United States that is broken."

"The submarine cable is broken? There is really such a possibility. No wonder the entire US network is down, but the satellite network is normal. However, who would do such a thing? It can't be a shark, right?" The subordinate muttered.

"Who else? The old fisherman!" Fan Wubing replied with a sneer.

If this happened, of course it was a problem in the shallow sea area. Most likely, the fishing boat cut the cable. What a powerful old fisherman!
