Chapter 763 Jump (Part 2)
This major power outage lasted for 29 hours, lost 61,800 megawatts of load, and the population affected by the power outage was about 50 million.
The power outage caused the three major U.S. automakers to close their 54 factories for two consecutive days.
General Motors has temporarily closed 17 parts and assembly plants in three U.S. states and Canada.
Ford Motor Co., Ltd. has also been forced to shut down 23 factories in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Lake Ontario and Canada.
Chrysler Group has 14 of its 31 factories in the North American Free Trade Zone discontinued production.
According to analysis, the loss of this power outage to GDP is estimated to be between US$25 billion and US$30 billion per day.
This is the largest power outage in North American history. There were many fires, and some people took advantage of the fire to rob them while the electricity was out of the night. 911 urgent help call received more than 80,000 calls, and emergency medical services also received a record 5,000 calls for help.
Water cuts in several cities, thousands of flights were cancelled, and in short, all walks of life suffered heavy losses.
"See?"
Guo Tai saw the news and pointed to the news on TV without hesitation and said to Xiao Finn: "You're welcome, I didn't think about taking advantage of the situation to rob your financial market at this time, otherwise I could make another profit at will.
Don't be dissatisfied, it will definitely be more than enough to earn back all the expenses of this skydiving.
It's just that I'm kind!"
Guo Tailai, who was righteous, also regretted it a little. If you don’t remember the things you don’t pay much attention to in your dreams in the future, don’t you remember them very clearly?
I forgot the specific date of the power outage in the US and Canada, so how can I arrange it in advance?
I can only pretend with kindness.
However, Little Finn was stunned when he saw the real-time news. He never expected that the words Guo Tailai said casually in the car that day would come true, saying that there would be problems with the power equipment, and it would be true that something went wrong.
No wonder my father asked him to participate in every meeting at the Treasure Ship Club. It turns out that sometimes a casual judgment or the possible investment direction of these guys is probably a treasure pot for making money! If I had known this, I should have made some arrangements in advance. If I could realize this this time, I might make a small profit! For Guo Tai, taking advantage of the situation and affecting the national economy and people's livelihood, it's bullshit! Shouldn't capital take the starting point and fundamental purpose of seizing the greatest interests when it comes to this situation?
Where do you need to be so kind?
Money will not disappear, it just passes from someone else's pocket to your own.
If you really want to be so kind, you can make a charity fund to repay the society and avoid personal income tax! How noble is this?
Such a good opportunity was missed like this! It's really inappropriate! With such a large-scale power outage, the stock prices of companies related to the power grid will definitely fluctuate! Regrets are regrets, but Little Finn is not angry. Such opportunities will definitely be there in the future. As long as you follow the Treasure Ship Club, you won't have to worry about not getting rich! The power outage is only affected in some areas of the northeastern and midwest of the United States, and Los Angeles and Nasa will not be affected at all.
Moreover, Nasa's astronaut training base has independent power supplies, so there is no need to worry about problems with the State Grid, so Guo Tailai's training was not affected at all.
With the relationship between big names like Old Finn and enough numbers on the check, the quality and efficiency of Nasa are not ordinary. All equipment is in place within half a month, and the safety performance has also been inspected by Nasa and Guo Tailai's security team. After detailed weather data analysis, the date of the challenge was quickly determined.
On August 22nd, less than a week after the power outage, the weather will be very suitable on this day.
"It's a coincidence!"
Little Finn listened to the date selected by the Nasa expert and said with a smile: "It was actually the same day as the date when China launched a communication satellite.
But I believe that God will bless you more.”
"Do you know who that communication satellite was launched for?"
Guo Tailai couldn't help but ask at Little Finn speechless.
"I don't know!"
Little Finn shook his head and said, "Is it important to whom the satellites launched by China?"
"Depend on!"
Guo Tailai raised his middle finger viciously at Xiao Finn: "That is my satellite, one of the global communication satellite networks that I use to ensure the private contact of members of the Treasure Ship Club after launching it!"
"ah?"
Little Finn was shocked and immediately changed his words without thinking: "God will bless you, and your satellite!"
After saying that, Little Finn realized what a private communications satellite network meant and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
No way?
Just for more than a dozen people to contact, how many satellites should be launched to form a network?
Or is global communication easy?
Too exaggerated?
Seeing that Guo Tailai's face relaxed a little, Xiao Finn quickly changed the topic: "g, don't you really plan to tell Miss Phoenix in advance this time?"
Before, Guo Tailai took Chu Fei to jump over the umbrella, but that was just a parachuting. Guo Tailai never said he wanted to play such a high-risk and challenging project.
"No!"
Guo Tailai shook his head: "Let's just wait until I succeed in the challenge before telling her!"
Not only Chu Fei, but also Guo Tailai from his senior sister, didn't say anything.
The security personnel are now very abide by the rules. They will not take the initiative to ask questions in China, nor will they report on it. They completely regard Guo Tailai as the boss.
So, no one knew before Guo Tailai said that.
Lin Jiayi has begun to handle the handover of Colonel Card's commercial real estate and Juventus shares, as well as a batch of matters such as the processing contract for the lens of the Big Magellanic telescope. She has no idea what Guo Tailai is playing.
On the morning of the 22nd, the weather was as clear as Nasa's calculations. The sky was clear and there was no wind at all. It was indeed a good day to challenge.
The huge helium balloon was filled with two trucks of helium tanks.
When it is on the ground, the helium balloon looks very deflated, but when it reaches a high altitude, it will slowly bulge due to the decrease in air pressure.
Guo Tailai sat in the pressurized pod, wearing a parachuting suit made of space suit materials tailored by Nasa, wearing an astronaut helmet, carrying an oxygen supply system and battery. After checking the communication system shooting equipment and monitoring equipment, he began to rise slowly.
During the ascent, the high-definition camera was shooting all the time, and Guo Tailai was not idle, and kept communicating with the ground team via radio.
There is no way, the time to take off for three hours, and it is so boring to be alone.
"130,000 feet, g, do you really want to continue to rise?"
Looking at the height display in the ground monitoring equipment, Xiao Finn couldn't help but ask Guo Tailai.
"At the higher you go, at least 140,000 feet, it will be more satisfying to make up an integer."
Guo Tailai's voice was slightly distorted from the radio.
140,000 feet, 42,672 meters, this number is higher than the challenges in the next few times, but since Guo Tai is here, why not create a better record at once?
The helium balloon finally rose to a level that Guo Tailai was satisfied with. Guo Tailai opened the pressurized pole door, stood carefully at the door, looked at the arc of the earth in the distance and the outline of the atmosphere, and the opening notice was below: "I'm ready, three, two, one, go!"
