MTL - Wall Street Legend-Chapter 431 Accident
Chapter 431 Accident
It was just a simple shopping trip, Ye Dongqing wanted to have some fun and see the sales of iPhones with her own eyes.
What I didn't expect was that I saw my old acquaintance at the entrance of the Apple store. To be precise, it should be the enemy.
Todd Hankins.
In her previous life, before Ye Dongqing jumped off the rooftop, the last name she heard was probably this guy. When he was facing a crisis, it was ridiculous to say that the two of them had been together for a long time. Even better friends.
What now?
He is a super rich man who stomps his feet and shakes New York three times, and the other party turns out to be... a security guard?
Standing at the door of the Apple Store, responsible for maintaining order. Judging from the clothes on his body, he is indeed a security guard, and he is probably an Apple employee.
It's been a while since I paid attention to him. Ye Dongqing checked it before, and even thought about giving up the opportunity to understand this grievance. She didn't expect to meet him again in the huge New York City by such an unfortunate coincidence.
It's hard to describe his mood. He rarely thinks about it now. Anger and desire to destroy emerge from the bottom of his heart. It's not very strong, but it does exist.
Wait until the mood calms down a little, and then start to feel proud again. After all, there is a huge gap between the status and status.
It’s all said to be forgiving and forgiving, but when it comes to human life, or your own life, that’s another matter.
He was thinking about whether to find a reason to expel the other party, or to be more tactful, to promote the other party to a high position, and then let the other party fall to the bottom, to taste the feeling of falling, Ye Dongqing felt that he would definitely not feel guilty, After all, he had actually jumped from a tall building, and those few seconds felt like a century.
Just thinking about it, wondering how such a natural villain would be so good, he could obediently do such a boring job as a security guard, and within a few seconds, he saw an employee of an Apple direct store running out, shouting that the warehouse was on fire up!
The crowd at the door began to commotion.
They don't care about why the fire caught fire, they only care about whether they can still buy the new mobile phone they have wanted for a long time. Even when they saw the smoke in the store, the line did not disperse, but moved from the sidewalk to the side of the road, and many people poked their heads towards it. Look in the store.
Ye Dongqing also saw it, and couldn't help frowning.
Accident, it’s normal, but what’s abnormal is the speed of the fire. The store was so empty, but the fire quickly spread along the ceiling, emitting thick black smoke.
Looking at the bodyguards around, he ordered: "You two go and have a look, bring a fire extinguisher, don't care about anything, it's important to save people first!"
After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called the fire department, his eyes rested on Todd Hankins.
Several other security guards welcomed the employees out of the store in a panic, some took the fire extinguisher by the door and sprayed it inside, and some were maintaining order and asked the customers in line to retreat quickly, while this guy looked around, wondering if it was true Misunderstanding, Ye Dongqing even saw a smile on his lips.
In an instant, she thought of something, cursed secretly, and sure enough, a dog can't change eating shit. Ye Dongqing walked across the road to the store entrance, and shouted: "Is there anyone else in there? Check it out, is there anyone else?"
Because of the launch of the iPhone, a few university students were temporarily hired as temporary workers, but the total number of employees in a directly-operated store is only a dozen people. This is still a flagship store on Fifth Avenue. few.
Seeing Ye Dongqing, some people stared at him in surprise, but the current situation is not suitable for star chasing, otherwise the scene would probably become frantic.
The store manager of the directly-operated store recognized him and stopped talking. He took the lead in counting the number of people, and then told him, "They all came out. There are sixteen people in total, including me, that's right."
As long as people are fine, Ye Dongqing was relieved a lot, and continued: "Think about whether there is anything wrong, and check again to confirm, and whose cars are these on the side of the road? Drive away and make way for the fire truck. Coming soon..."
Apple bought the three-story building in front of them as a flagship store on Fifth Avenue in Midtown. They bought it a few years ago. The billboard is very large, and it can be regarded as advertising with the help of the traffic on Fifth Avenue. up.
However, at this moment, the first floor and the basement were on fire, and black smoke came out of the windows and doors, attracting more people to watch. Seeing that the time for the sale is coming, many consumers are simply desperate, just thinking that they must not Burn those phones!
The fire is spreading to the second floor. Thick smoke is already coming out of the windows on the second floor. The burned materials are mainly various decoration materials. The interior layout is mainly simple, and there are not many things to burn.
Surrounded by too many potential consumers, he asked that he couldn't just leave after waiting for so long. Ye Dongqing also felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply asked the employees to organize it first, and he called Jobs to communicate with him from other direct sales. A batch of goods was transferred from the store's warehouse.
Probably due to frequent training, the firefighters took less than ten minutes from receiving the call to arriving at the scene, and soon high-pressure water jets were sprayed into the store, starting from the second floor, to control the further spread of the fire. The first floor here also went out soon.
Business district, there are not many people in the morning, and many shops are not even open.
Even the Apple store opened just a few minutes before the fire broke out. Fortunately, the store manager was giving lectures to the employees at the time. Otherwise, it might be dangerous for some employees to go up to the second or third floor.
It's not a big deal, but it looks strange to Ye Dongqing.
His attention was always on Todd Hankins. At this moment, a police car arrived, and he saw this guy quietly squeezed into the crowd, and soon disappeared.
It's not that there is no chance for his bodyguards to catch him, but there is no reason to catch him, and he already knows who he is. If this guy really messed up, he probably won't be able to escape.
Explaining the scene I saw to the police, I calmed down the noisy consumers by telling them to wait a little longer, and they can still buy things. A line immediately formed again, which shows the determination to snap up new mobile phones.
A police superintendent from NYPD arrived at the scene, looked at the scene of the fire, and told Ye Dongqing, "It must have been an accident. I don't think anyone would go crazy enough to suddenly burn down your store on purpose this morning."
Because there were no casualties, the police supervisor's tone was relatively calm, probably because he deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to get to know Ye Dongqing, with a look of regret on his face, he added: "It's a very nice old building, I hope there is someone to buy it." Fire risk, the main building does not seem to be damaged, and it can continue to be used after decoration.”
If he hadn't seen Todd Hankins, Ye Dongqing might have thought the same, but at this moment he always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly asked the fire department's little supervisor, "Can you please go to the warehouse to have a look? See if the goods inside are damaged? It’s a batch of relatively high-value mobile phones and computers, which have already been delivered, right?”
The last sentence is for the small manager of the directly-operated store.
The middle-aged woman was taken aback, and told: "Yes, it was just delivered at 6:30 in the morning. You know, boss. In order to prevent outflows before the sale, the delivery time is uniformly arranged today. Those batches of mobile phones have just been sent into the It’s not long in the warehouse, I’m just about to disassemble a few and put them on the booth as a trial machine…”
