The president's eyes opened wide and rounded immediately. At this time, the night was dark, but outside, it looked brighter.
From him, one can see the harbor in the distance. He opened the curtains and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a raging fire on the other side of the harbor!
It is on fire, how could it be on fire?
Oops, it's on fire! Only then did the president react and shouted loudly: "Quickly, mobilize all the forces and go and fight the fire together!"
This is definitely worse! Originally, they had sufficient foreign exchange reserves, but now, if it catches fire, the trouble will be big. In the President’s heart, there was an instant sigh. At this time, the police sirens had been sounded outside, and the fire trucks were moving forward. The port rushed past.
An oil tanker moored here is billowing thick smoke. The crude oil is sticky and difficult to ignite. Even if it is ignited directly, it is impossible to burn. At the same time, once it burns, it wants to extinguish it. It's quite difficult.
When the fire truck arrived at the port, they began to spray fire-fighting gas toward the tanker. They were anxiously rescuing, but they had forgotten another thing, evacuating other cargo ships around!
Thick black smoke hit the sky, large swaths of soot fell from the sky, and even covered the entire Lion City with soot. The scene looked quite terrifying. Fire officers and soldiers watched this after a night of fighting. When the tanker was about to be put out, a container cargo ship next to it was ignited!
When they saw this cargo ship lit up with heavy smoke, the fire officers and soldiers were all dumbfounded. The containers on this cargo ship were filled with luxury cars!
This is a vehicle transported from an island country. It is intended to be shipped to desert areas for sale. In recent years, the island country’s economy has also been quite depressed. Therefore, the export of cars in island countries is even more important, especially in desert areas. The car is very popular. Their off-road vehicles such as Mitsubishi Pajero are simply the favorites of the rich in the desert. Now, following this big fire, one after another cars were set alight in the container.
The fire at the gate of the city affected the pond fish, not to mention this crude oil carrier. The viscous crude oil splashed out, wherever it fell, there was a big fire!
Fortunately, this is a container ship, and they can use the most primitive way to put out fires, that is, sea water! Several firefighting boats finally approached and directly pumped sea water to extinguish the fire on this container cargo ship. However, it is a pity that all the cars on the ship were burned out, even if there was no fire inside, it was just that the container was exposed to fire. Smoked and roasted, it is destined to be broken and can no longer be used.
The island people are striving for perfection, and they will never sell such defective products. How much is the high-end car of this ship worth?
In the morning, the last trace of flame disappeared. Looking at the situation on the port, the government officials in Lion City wanted to cry in despair.
"This must be someone's leader!" The president gritted his teeth and said: "They deliberately created this fire. This is a barbaric violation of the order of the Lion City. This matter must be investigated to the end!"
"Mr. President, we will definitely track it down, but before that, we have to solve a big problem." The Minister of Economy was also quite embarrassed and tired. He looked at the President with worry in his voice: "These The cargo ship had an accident in our port, so the cargo shipping company will definitely come to us to compensate for the loss, especially the container cargo ship."
"Hmph, we have investigated the truth of the accident. Naturally, someone will be held responsible for this loss. Is it possible that we should pay compensation?" said the president.
What else can I do now? They have to deny it. If they want to make compensation, it is an astronomical figure.
A cargo ship transports thousands of cars or a car. If calculated according to 500,000, that would be billions. If it was in the past, this is of course nothing. Lion City can advance the payment in advance and wait until the culprit is found. The culprit asks the other party for compensation again, but it is no longer possible. Now they have a shortage of funds. If they spend such a huge sum of money again, how can they still have funds to resist the coming crisis?
"However, the other party has already found it." The Minister of Economic Affairs said: "The other party's ambassador personally came and asked us to pay compensation for this. We are a port. We are very responsible for the fire at the port. Now, we If we don’t respond positively to this, then there will be fewer and fewer ships at anchor in our port."
Reputation is very important. After all, there are so many ports in the entire Rokká Strait. Why is the Lion City the most popular? Naturally, it is the reputation that has been accumulated over a long period of time. Now, if you don’t admit the account like this, it will cause a decline in your reputation. It is not easy to get a good reputation, but if you have a bad reputation, it will take minutes.
"By the way, isn't there an insurance company?" At this moment, someone thought of something. Yes, they want compensation. Ordinarily, shouldn't the insurance company compensate for the loss? In this way, the risk can be transferred.
"The one looking for us now is their insurance company. Their insurance company wants to sue our port for lax supervision. Their insurance company cannot afford to compensate for such losses," said the Minister of Economy.
After talking for a long time, I came back again. This time, does the Lion City pay or not?
"It's not good, it's not good!"
Every time I hear this voice, the president has an urge to beat someone. What's wrong? Could it be worse than it is now?
"Someone is attacking our currency again!"
The other party’s intentions are so sinister. At this juncture, they actually came to set fire. For such behavior, the Lion City people are outraged. If they can catch the manipulator behind them, they will definitely not add oil and vinegar. Eaten up.
However, they have no other way now. They can't find the real murderer, or after they find it, it's too late.
Sure enough, every copper plate of those merchants was bloody.
"Put in our foreign exchange and stabilize our currency." The president said, although he knew that doing so would have more terrible consequences and would fall into the other party's trap, but now they have no choice. If their currency exchange rate becomes unstable, Then their economy will be hit hard, Luo Guo's today is their tomorrow.
Lion City’s huge foreign exchange reserves are constantly flowing into the market to stabilize their currency, but it’s like entering the ocean. No matter how much they invest, they don’t work. On their terminal displays, the exchange rate continues to drop. , I don’t know how many currencies are still trading!
