Chapter 7 Post-disaster and donations

Although Thailand issued a tsunami warning in a timely manner, due to the long coastline, the dispersion of people, and the tsunami's rapid arrival and ferocious momentum, there are still some people who were not notified in time, or who were informed but did not find shelter in time.

Unfortunately, according to statistics from the Thai government afterwards, there were 347 people killed in the Indian Ocean tsunami, including missing people, one-fifth of whom were foreign tourists. Compared with Indonesia, which was the first to be hit by the disaster,

This number is not even a fraction of the other party's! Of course, the Thai government does not know that in Fan Mingyuan's previous life, the total number of dead and missing people in Thailand in the Indian Ocean tsunami was fifteen and a half times this number, among which the number of foreign tourists who died was

More than a thousand people.

As the second closest country to the earthquake source, the response time for Thais is naturally not as good as that of India and Sri Lanka. Countries such as Sri Lanka can achieve such a small number of casualties. It has to be said that the Thai government issued a tsunami warning in a timely manner and immediately evacuated the coast.

The personnel played a decisive role! And because of timely warning, an important member of the Thai royal family who was vacationing in Phuket escaped from danger in time. This made the Thai royal family very grateful to China. Of course, this is all later

Talked.

The tsunami continues to rush towards other countries along the coast, and people in these countries are racing against time to fight against death.

At the same time, the post-disaster scene in Sumatra was finally released to the world. Although it was a hasty aerial photography and the scene on the ground was not so clear, it still shocked the world.

Relevant departments of the United Nations have already taken action. Secretary-General Annan announced that he would immediately dispatch disaster assessment and relief coordination working groups to the countries and regions affected by the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, and called on countries around the world to immediately provide economic support and dispatch rescue teams.

By 3:30 in the afternoon, the tsunami swept through many countries along the Indian Ocean. Among them, India, which has a large population, a long coastline, and underdeveloped communications, and Sri Lanka had the most shocking death toll. The violent sea water poured thousands of meters inland.

A large number of ships nearby were pushed inland, and the huge tsunami calmed down, leaving only devastation. Although the death toll and the number of people who became refugees could not be counted in a short time, people were

We know that the number of dead and missing people caused by this natural disaster will be tens of thousands, and the number of refugees will be hundreds of thousands!

China was the first country to announce that it would send a rescue team to the disaster area and donate supplies and medicines worth US$5 million, and in the following days, it expanded the donation to US$58 million. At the same time, the Chinese government also

It was announced that the maturing government debts of these severely affected countries would be exempted to help local post-disaster reconstruction. Chinese people, as well as compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also actively donated, raising a total of nearly 80 million US dollars in funds and materials.

European and American countries also responded quickly, not only promising huge amounts of financial and material assistance, but also quickly deploying army and navy soldiers and equipment to serve as rescuers. Among them, the Germans even sent heavy trucks and large shovels.

Equipment such as trucks are transported to disaster areas by air.

Some international organizations and many world-renowned companies and social celebrities have also joined the ranks. Among them, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, Kuok Shipping Group Company, and Carrefour Group were the first to announce donations of funds and materials to the disaster areas.

Enterprises. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group announced that it would donate disaster relief materials and medicines worth 10 million US dollars. In addition to donating disaster relief materials worth 5 million US dollars, Kuok Shipping Group Company also promised to donate all shipments to the disaster areas in the next six months.

There will be no shipping charges for supplies, and Carrefour Group announced that it will donate disaster relief supplies worth US$5 million.

"Are the United States and Europe fighting against each other?" Fang Mingyuan looked at the newspapers on the table and said with some humor. It was like this in the previous life. Unexpectedly, it is still like this in this life. The amount of donations from both sides to the disaster area has been taking turns in the past few days.

Additional, and both sides openly and secretly accused the other party of failing to fulfill its due responsibilities.

"Are you done with your busy work?" Zheng Jiayi put a cup of coffee in front of him and said. Ever since he received the notice from Liu Zhengyan, Fang Mingyuan has not been idle. He has been busy for four days and is finally free today.

"Well. Now that we're done, it's their business now. I, a person with high ambitions and low abilities, can't help much." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, your coffee making skills are getting better and better."

"Cook it often, practice makes perfect." Zheng Jiayi said with a smile. Since becoming Fang Mingyuan's assistant, she has been much busier than before. The pressure of work has made her drink more and more coffee. She and the ready-made coffee

Li Xintong didn't like it, so she ground her own coffee and drank it.

"Well, this is the box office performance of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group these days! The growth rate has dropped significantly." Zheng Jiayi handed the folder in her hand to Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan took it and put it aside. He had already thought of this result. After the Indian Ocean tsunami, all people's attention was directed to the areas along the Indian Ocean coast that suffered heavy casualties. Many countries and regions were in various ways.

Expressing condolences for the victims, not many people pay attention to the movie, and not many people are in the mood to watch the movie. It is normal for the global box office growth rate to decline.

"We need the staff of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group to discuss with movie theater companies in various countries to extend the schedule appropriately." Fang Mingyuan said, "I think they will give it this face." After the Indian Ocean tsunami, Liu Zhengyan certainly

He has become a celebrity pursued by many media. Everyone has seen the importance of this theory in determining the exact location of earthquakes and warning of tsunamis. Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group, which was the first to issue tsunami warnings to the world, also received overwhelming praise.

Not to mention the governments of the countries affected by the disaster and the citizens and tourists who benefited from the disaster, after learning the truth, they were grateful to the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. There are also many media, including those who had questioned or laughed at the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.

The media for the company's behavior also praised Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company again and again on various occasions. Many of the media mentioned that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company actually took extreme risks by issuing a tsunami warning.

There is a huge risk. Liu Zhengyan’s theory was not really tested before the Indian Ocean tsunami. If Liu Zhengyan and his team’s judgment is wrong, the behavior of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group will not only bring it the consequences of others

ridicule, and may also face numerous lawsuits demanding compensation for damages. A large number of such remarks will undoubtedly make people like Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd. even more, praising it as a socially responsible enterprise.

Nowadays, in the media around the world, the name Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company can be said to appear with extremely high frequency, and not only in the entertainment section, but also film companies and cinema chain companies have always been prosperous.

A community of interests that all suffer, this is also a good thing for these movie theater companies - due to the occurrence of the Indian Ocean tsunami, the number of moviegoers in the global movie market has dropped significantly, which has also affected their interests.

However, even if you are dissatisfied with this kind of thing, if you cannot speak out, you will be asking for criticism from thousands of people.

"This time is really too tragic!" Zheng Jiayi said with a sigh. In the past four days, detailed local reports from some disaster areas have spread all over the world. In those hardest-hit areas, it is true that corpses are everywhere.

It's not too much. Especially in Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka, the number of deaths so far has been in the tens of thousands. Indonesia, as the country closest to the earthquake source, was also the country that was not prepared at all, and suffered the most tragic losses.

Moreover, the disaster-stricken areas in Indonesia are not developed areas in the country. Aceh Province on the island of Sumatra, which was the most severely affected, has been a place of great turmoil. The local guerrillas and government forces have been struggling for nearly thirty years.

, making Aceh Province a mess, the Indonesian government stationed more than 10,000 troops on the island to annihilate them. In a turbulent place, it is naturally impossible to develop the economy, and the serious lack of infrastructure has also brought difficulties to the rescue work.

The situation was extremely difficult. Four days was simply not enough time for rescue teams from various countries to carry out any large-scale rescue. Teams like those from North America or Europe could not even transport their own working equipment into the disaster area.

Not easy.

The rescue work these days has mainly relied on people in the disaster area and Indonesian soldiers to save themselves. However, due to the constant aftershocks here, not only caused more casualties, but also made the rescue work not progress smoothly. But even so, it has been

It is confirmed that more than 70,000 people died, and there are hundreds of thousands of missing people. Although they are said to be missing, everyone understands that in a natural disaster of this level, missing and dead can basically be equated, and they can be found again.

The probability of being alive is 1 in 100.

In other countries, such as Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Malaysia and other countries, although the casualties are not even a fraction of those of these three countries, the economic losses are also very staggering.

Some experts in the insurance industry have estimated that the property losses caused by the Indian Ocean tsunami to neighboring countries will not be less than 10 billion euros! It will also have a significant negative impact on the economic development of these countries.

"Mingyuan, have you heard that the ambassadors of Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka have all been recalled by their governments?" Zheng Jiayi said.

"Haha." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said nothing. This result did not surprise him at all. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
