As Jiang Shuying expected, the economic crisis came as scheduled and swept the world from the Mediterranean with lightning speed.
Even as OPEC member states announce production increases one after another, there is still nothing to do with the overall upward oil price.
You should know that production capacity is only one factor that restricts price, not all factors.
The Turkish civil war cut off the southern corridor of European energy, and the Ukrainian issue and sanctions against Russia completely blocked the natural gas pipeline from the east to Europe.
Extreme forces such as IS, which grow wildly like weeds, have also caused the Middle East's oil production capacity to fall to the bottom.
The attack on the Pearson Synagogue was just a fuse.
The turbulence in the stock prices of industries under the thirteen consortiums directly triggered a crisis that had accumulated strength for a long time.
The global economy once again ushered in the disaster that was no less than 2008. The New York Stock Exchange Dow Jones Index failed and Wall Street dealers rang the bell for a reshuffle.
The first one to fall was India.
Due to geological conditions, India is a severely oil-poor country and has very little natural gas reserves.
As an emerging economy that is embarking on the road to heavy industry, the level of oil prices directly restricts the lifeline of this country.
As oil prices rise, India's crude oil import bills continue to rise, and the crisis is further intensified.
Production and transportation costs rose sharply, exports fell, investors withdrew, followed by a sharp rise in the fiscal deficit of the Indian government, which eventually triggered a crisis of external payments.
There are countless companies that have gone bankrupt, and the unemployment rate in various countries has increased by more than a little, and the consumption index has fallen to historic lows.
Due to the aftermath, Future Ren Group also suffered considerable losses in its global business, and these losses were intuitively reflected in November's financial report.
However, compared with other companies, the Future Group, which focuses on cutting-edge fields, has been relatively less affected.
Because the planting area of oil crops continues to expand, the factories under the Future Ren Group do not need to worry about the high oil prices.
As for other commodities that have been driven by crude oil to raise prices, Future Ren Group can also rely on three raw materials supply sites, Mindanao, the Philippines and Madagascar, to alleviate some of the pressure.
The global economic situation is in a sluggish state, and Jiang Chen has gradually shifted the focus of his investment to space outside the earth.
The real enemy is more than ten light years away, and the Freemason is indeed a big trouble, but in comparison, he has more important things to be laid out in advance.
The space elevator has been basically completed, and some plans that could not be implemented can also be gradually started.
But before this, Jiang Chen still has one thing to do.
……
Coro Island Central Hospital, a hospital funded by the Future Human Group, brings together the most cutting-edge technologies of Future Human Bio.
Many difficult and complicated diseases that modern medicine cannot solve for the time being can be treated to a certain extent or even completely eradicated here.
The entrance of the hospital was blocked by reporters and broadcasting vehicles.People stared at the door with anticipation, just like devout believers, as if waiting for some miracle to happen.
At this moment, a training cabin wrapped in pipelines stands in the hospital's special diagnosis and treatment room.
On the surface of the cultivation compartment, a screen about the size of a palm is embedded, with numbers similar to countdowns jumping in the center of the screen.
When the number returned to zero, the medical staff in the room rushed forward, evacuated the culture medium in the cultivation chamber, opened the cultivation chamber, removed the respirator and pipelines with different functions on the patient, and finally lifted him onto the mobile bed and sent him to the rehabilitation room.
There were riots coming downstairs. If it weren't for the security guard's obstruction, the impatient reporters might have rushed upstairs.
Who can win this honor?
That's right, the one lying on the hospital bed at this moment was the famous physicist and ALS patient.
Before being sent to the rehabilitation room, he had already opened his eyes and saw Jiang Chen at the door of the rehabilitation room. He used his vocal cords to say the first sentence in decades intermittently.
Where is my wheelchair?
Jiang Chen smiled without answering him, watching him being carried into the rehabilitation room.
In the 22nd century with highly developed medical technology, ALS is not an unsolvable problem.
The reason why he lies in the culture compartment for so long is mainly to repair the muscle cells and neurons that were necrotic due to paralysis.
In the rehabilitation room, accompanied by medical staff, Hawking held two handrails, regaining the feeling of walking like a baby toddler.
His expression was quite excited, and with each step forward, incoherent words were squeezed out from his trembling lips.
The nurse who was responsible for supporting him could only distinguish two words.
Unbelievable, and God.
More than an hour later, Hawking, who was able to walk with crutches, walked out of the rehabilitation room accompanied by two medical staff.
Learning to walk again is not an easy task, especially for an elderly man who has been sitting in a wheelchair for decades.
Looking at the old man with excitement and gratitude on his face, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
How do you feel?
Kick me, I need to confirm whether I am dreaming.Hawking reluctantly replied in non-standard English.
Haha, please ask your son and daughter for this kind of thing.It's really surprising. I originally planned to prepare a keyboard and a speaker for you, but I didn't expect that in less than two hours, you'll "learn" how to speak.Jiang Chen teased.
Where are they?I want to meet them now!
They are downstairs.Jiang Chen pointed to the direction of the stairs, but before going downstairs, you'd better be prepared because there are already surrounded by reporters.
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Hawking, who was eager to walk towards the stairs, stopped immediately and turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled look.
Can you drive them all away?
Jiang Chen shook his head.
We made an appointment. If I cure you, the first thing you need to do for me is to be interviewed by reporters.
I am a patient now and I need a rest!Hawking said unwillingly.
But people are eager to know the truth, and I have no right to stop them.Jiang Chen spread his hands and said, "Think about it carefully. We have cured patients with advanced ALS. This is a miracle that can be recorded in medical history."Doctors who are busy with your health must also look forward to you appearing in front of the media and not planning to do anything for them?
Perhaps the last sentence touched the stubborn old man.After going downstairs, Hawking accepted an interview with the media.
Thanks to Jiang Chen, Future Human Bio, and the caregivers of Coro Central Hospital, I feel very good now.What I want to do now is that there are many things I want to do, and the most I want to do hug my wife, my son, my daughter... I owe them this hug for too long.Also, I want to meet my wheelchair and I will give it to the Queen of England soon.I'm sorry I've been out of British nationality, but the Panu Islands were part of the Commonwealth in history, and I'm lucky I don't have to betray my oath...
Hawking spoke very slowly, but no reporter showed impatience.
Everyone can feel the true feelings in his words and the excitement of overcoming the disease.
His wife and children squeezed out of the crowd and hugged the old man.
The Times reporter wiped the corners of his eyes and left the warm picture on the photo and the cover of the Times the next day.
At the same time, the fame of Future Human Biology and Future Human Medicine has spread to the world with the news of Hawking's recovery.
The Beta-4 drone, which was originally unsold due to the economic crisis, was also digested by the North American market at an incredible speed.
The original rumors that the Future People Group could not cure Hawking was also self-defeating.
Even as OPEC member states announce production increases one after another, there is still nothing to do with the overall upward oil price.
You should know that production capacity is only one factor that restricts price, not all factors.
The Turkish civil war cut off the southern corridor of European energy, and the Ukrainian issue and sanctions against Russia completely blocked the natural gas pipeline from the east to Europe.
