Chapter 157: Karma
Chen Mo's words set off a huge wave. Everyone did not expect that there was such a hidden secret. The two seismographs closest to the super earthquake were all salvaged, making it impossible for Army Ant to accurately determine the location of the super earthquake.
This is a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.
If the second station, as Chen Mo said, was taken away because of the prediction of the last earthquake, then things would be a bit more complicated.
Who took the second seismograph?
Island country? U.S?
The reporters on the field immediately popped up the names of the two countries.
The island country has a criminal record and is most suspicious. And there is also the United States that can salvage seismographs in the northeastern waters of the western Pacific island country.
Apart from these two countries, they could not think of any other country that would salvage seismographs.
In the expectation of everyone, Chen Mo said again: "This is a very unfortunate regret. I hope that in the future, this kind of regret will not happen again."
Chen Mo did not continue speaking, and ended his speech without any pain. His purpose has been achieved, and the rest has nothing to do with him.
The 'ceremony' is short and informative.
The second seismometer of Army Ant Company was taken away, and it was the seismometer closest to the super earthquake. As a result, Army Ant Company could not accurately predict the arrival of the super earthquake.
There is enough news about the earthquake in the island country, and the island country is not calm.
Now Chen Mo broke the big news, which made many people unable to calm down. The video of Chen Mo talking was quickly uploaded to the social networking site of the island country.
In an instant, people's grievances boiled over.
The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami has now risen to 7,264, with 23,140 missing.
Because the government took away the seismograph of the Army Ant Company, it was impossible to accurately predict the big earthquake, which indirectly caused the huge loss.
Under the leadership of the opposition party, voices against the island nation's government have emerged, criticizing the government's willful actions, which led to this avoidable disaster. The protests are getting louder and louder with the support of various ghosts and gods
There are countless comments on international social media.
The topic of the island country's death,
Become mainstream!
With just a few words, Chen Mo grabbed the headlines of major media and caused a sensation in public opinion.
He didn't talk about it, ordinary people wouldn't know about it, they just thought it was a natural disaster. Now that this matter is said, many islanders regret it.
The cheap hands picked up the seismograph of the army ant company, which indirectly caused this disaster, the causal cycle, and the retribution was unhappy.
Whoever took away the second seismograph has also become the focus of attention.
island embassy.
Inada Jinnan looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face was terrifyingly black. This time, he went to the Army Ant Company and was tricked. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a troublesome thing.
The words Chen Mo said were just personal regrets. It didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it, but the information revealed was digging a hole like a black hole for the island country government.
He was also in trouble, so he called from China and scolded him badly.
This matter, from beginning to end, has nothing to do with him. It has nothing to do with him that the seismograph was taken out. Chen Mo's words are also Chen Mo's business. Because of his presence, the black pot fell on him, and now he can't wait to strangle the media who talk nonsense.
"Ambassador. The Army Ant Company just replied." Yokoi Yu walked in and said cautiously.
"Say."
Inada Jinnan suppressed his anger and squeezed a word out of his teeth.
"They said that the seismograph was damaged, and we had to double the compensation before they could talk to us about the seismograph."
Yokoi Yu's appearance does not show joy or sorrow. He is fortunate that in this matter, the person who was blamed was not him.
He was also very upset. They just wanted to buy seismographs to reduce the losses caused by earthquakes in the country. As a result, they got into so much trouble because of Chen Mo's words.
"Double compensation?" Inada Jinnan's forehead throbbed violently, holding the teacup in his hand tightly: "How much?"
"One hundred million dollars."
Hearing this number, Inada Jinnan's blood rushed to his forehead and almost ran wild: "Why don't they go grab it? Is it inlaid with gold?"
His lungs nearly exploded.
A seismograph, $100 million? If it wasn't for some reason, he would rush to the Army Ant Company to find Chen Mo's theory.
"The seismograph is 50 million US dollars a piece, and other countries want to buy it at the same price. They say it is very difficult to manufacture." Yu Yokoi said.
He asked the staff of other embassies about this matter, and it was also 50 million US dollars, and it had to be booked and delivered within a year.
Paddy Jinnan calmed down. Anyway, it wasn't him who paid for it. The country asked him to buy it. If he gave the money, he would buy it. It had nothing to do with him if he didn't buy it. He was very upset by being slandered this time, and now he is not even in the mood to negotiate with the Army Ant Company.
After drinking the tea in his hand, Inada Jinnan took a deep breath and made a domestic call.
office.
Chen Mo and Zhao Min sat opposite each other, neither of them said a word, only the robot was pouring tea for them, and the office remained eerily quiet.
Zhao Min's gaze made Chen Mo's heart feel a little nervous.
"I have flowers on my face?" Chen Mo touched his face, breaking the weirdness.
"That's what you said about the courtesy exchanges?" Zhao Min asked.
"Well, it's not illegal to say it anyway, and what I'm saying is the truth. I'm sorry for not even bringing Ben and Likeng Islanders to them."
"I admire your ability to cause trouble." Zhao Min shook his head and smiled: "You didn't tell me about the second seismograph."
"Didn't you ask me why I announced the earthquake warning?"
Zhao Min nodded. When Chen Mo was about to announce the earthquake warning, she had already asked Li Lingfeng to prepare for crisis public relations, and the warning came true. She did ask why.
"Because at that time, the second seismograph was salvaged again. We didn't publish it, let them know the value of the seismometer, and they would salvage the next time the signal was sent. If this goes on, the test of the seismometer will be in vain. But not many people will believe us."
Zhao Min nodded. If it was her, she would hesitate to announce it, but why is Chen Mo so confident that the seismograph's warning must be right.
"If the warning failed at that time, what would you do?"
"What else can I do? Isn't it normal for scientific experiments to fail?" Chen Mo spread his hands, looking indifferent. He does not believe in the technology of the science and technology library, and there will be failures.
"You have such a big heart, can you tell me who took away the second seismograph?"
Zhao Min was sure that Chen Mo knew the news of the second seismograph, but it was inconvenient to tell.
"U.S."
Chen Mo threw out an unexpected answer.
"I was hesitant at the time, whether to tell the story of the United States taking the second seismograph, causing conflicts between the people of the island countries and the U.S. government, and then let them bite the dog. But I thought about it, and finally gave up. After all, the United States denied it. I can't show any evidence."
"It's fortunate that you didn't say it, otherwise the company will cause trouble again. You can guess what you said, if you guessed it, you deliberately made things clear." Zhao Min said.
"Is it that obvious?" Chen Mo said, touching his nose.
"It's very obvious! We're out of the game in this matter. Don't make trouble recently. What we want to do is to make a fortune in silence. After this lesson, no one should dare to touch the seismograph."
Zhao Min glanced at Chen Mo.
"Are you regretting that this incident did not successfully drag the United States into the water?"
"You're right." Chen Mo grinned: "But I believe that paper can't keep fire. Sooner or later, it will be exposed, and then I will definitely eat melons and watch the show."
