At Los Angeles International Airport, the security level has been several times higher than before the 9/11 incident. If you want to board the plane, you must go through several extremely strict security checks, even a well-known actor like Anne Hathaway is no exception.

Ronan sent Anne Hathaway to the boarding gate.

As a man with a conscience and responsibility, after learning that Anne Hathaway wanted to return to New York as soon as possible to reunite with her family, Ronan has been paying attention to aviation controls. The civil aviation flight ban has just been cancelled, so he booked an air ticket to New York for Anne Hathaway.

"Call me when I arrive in New York." Ronan looked at Anne Hathaway's slightly haggard face. The other party obviously hasn't had a good sleep these days: "If you need my help, call me."

Anne Hathaway focused heavily and hugged Ronan with her arms wide open.

"It's okay." Ronan gently patted Anne Hathaway's back and comforted: "Everything will pass."

After saying that, he raised his head slightly and kissed Anne Hathaway's forehead.

Anne Hathaway lowered her head and buried herself on Ronan's shoulder and said, "I'm fine."

She let go of her arm, took the luggage from David, waved at Ronan, and walked into the gate.

Ronan did not turn around and leave until Anne Hathaway's figure disappeared.

A few days have passed since the disaster occurred. Even though the attacks occurred on the East Coast, the streets of Los Angeles have changed significantly. Police cars patrol more frequently, and various security measures have been added in public places. In some broad areas, people are spontaneously commemorating the victims.

Among them are many people who pray and raise funds for the victims.

This is the most basic and simplest emotion of human beings and the most basic social moral concept.

Ronan sat in the car and looked at both sides of the road, and could feel the changes in society.

For example, the airport's body search and security checks are almost like taking off all their clothes. Before 9/11, it was probably a long time ago that the people and the media had been criticized as enemies of the free world and the regression of society. However, now there is no complaint in the mainstream media, and even those who take the plane are very cooperative.

This is also the most prominent change brought about by the 9/11 incident. The security checks and protection of airports have become more stringent. Even private jets have also been restricted. In the past, these behaviors that were called for by the media and the public to infringe on and restrict personal freedom, but now no one opposes it. The North American continent is no longer a land that cannot be violated in the minds of Americans.

The world is indeed changing, and so is Hollywood.

Hollywood movies have an eternal theme that little characters save the world, in other words, that is personal heroism.

The "9/11 Incident" has had a huge impact on Americans' political and economic life, and the entertainment industry is naturally inevitable. In Hollywood, which is in the leading position of world movies and entertainment, personal heroism will be more prevalent. The public needs heroes more than ever before, even if it is just illusory heroes.

Superheroes will be more popular than before.

Another change will be the American-made in the entertainment market.

As we all know, the North American film and television market is basically an insulator. North American audiences have never caught a lot of attention from non-North American productions. After this incident, this market will be more closed. It is more difficult to succeed in foreign products. The choices of producers and consumers in the entertainment industry will be more inclined to be "Made in the United States".

In the past, some European movies that were popular all over the world were highly regarded in North America, and this situation will become even worse in the future.

In the next few days, Ronan also participated in Hollywood-related memorial and donation activities as a famous producer. Not only did he donate $5 million, but he also rarely accepted public interviews from the media.

"Any hero who stands up and saves civilians deserves our respect." Ronan said solemnly: "When facing terrorists pointing guns at innocent people, we should condemn them no matter who they are."

As a part of this society, Hollywood is being deeply influenced by 911.

Since 9/11, Hollywood has been hit hard. The coldness of the theater market alone has made many films victims, especially those that were just released when the incident happened, which have undoubtedly become victims of terrorist attacks. Other films planned to be released have changed their schedules.

The entertainment industry is just a microcosm of the North American economy. The economic situation in the entire United States has been severely setbacked, and its scope has even spread to the whole world.

The US stock market, which had just had a stable trend, suffered another heavy blow. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq plummeted at the same time, with a huge decline comparable to last year's black March.

From society to agency, the whole country is wailing.

After 911, the US stock market had to close to stop the crazy selling.

Ronan roughly understands that the negative effects caused by this emergencies may not affect the stock market for a very long time, and the Washington authorities will not watch the economy collapse in the terrorist attacks, which will become a laughing stock in the world. After all, this is completely different from the bursting of the bubble last year.

After the 911 incident, it is also the best opportunity to enter the stock market to invest.

The stock market collapsed in 2000. Without waiting for a breath, the 9/11 incident in 2001 was ushered in again. After two consecutive heavy blows, the stock market can only be described as dismal.

Ronan always pays attention to the situation in the stock market and constantly obtains first-hand information.

After the stock market reopened on September 17, despite the sudden cut of 0.5 percentage points in the Federal Reserve to stabilize people's confidence in order to support the stock market, both Dow Jones and Nasdaq fell more than 7% on the day, and in less than a week, the decline reached 15% and continued to decline.

Ronan found Scott and prepared to invest the funds from his personal foundation into the stock market.

"The stock market is not optimistic." Scott said with a serious face: "Many analysts believe that the overall decline of the stock market this month will exceed 20%, or even reach 25%, and it will be difficult to return to the level before the event in the next year."

He recalled and said to Ronan: "Since the stock market reopened on September 17, investors sold stocks in panic, causing the stock market to plummet. In less than a week, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P index fell by 14.3%, 16.5%, and 12%, respectively, with an estimated stock price shrinking by 14 trillion US dollars. Although the government injected a lot of money into the stock market, panic selling was still inevitable, with major stock indexes falling to their lowest points in five years."

Luo Nan nodded slowly: "That is to say, it is lower than the lowest point in the stock market crash last year."

Scott said with great certainty: "Yes, this is the worst time in the stock market in the last five years."

Luo Nan's face was calm, and the waiting period was right.

In fact, after the bubble burst last year, it was a good time to invest, but he knew that the 9/11 incident would inevitably have a serious negative impact on the social economy, so he was patient and waited for a while longer.

As it turns out, the waiting is totally worth it.

Ronan whispered: "The Washington authorities will not watch the stock market fall into the abyss. It is estimated that the bottom should not be far away."

Scott did not fully agree with Ronan: "I think there will be a relatively long decline period."

"Let the foundation's funds enter the market." Ronan wants to leave a certain operating time for investment: "It starts from the opening of the market next Monday."

Out of professionalism, Scott asked: "Is it a bit early to enter the market now?" After the incident, Ronan communicated with him. He has done enough work in the past few days: "It will take a long time for the stock market to recover. We will invest a large amount of money in it, and we will wait for a long time..."

Ronan knew that Scott's words made sense, but he was more aware of the future trends of some companies and directly interrupted: "The stock market is ever-changing, and for us small investors, it is never possible to find the best time. I decided to enter the market from next Monday."

Scott knew his position very well. Seeing that Ronan had made up his mind, he said, "Okay, I'm ready." He asked, "What about the specific investment goals and amounts?"

Ronan said directly: "The foundation's $65 million in investment in the stock market during this period. The primary goal is Apple and then Amazon. You are a good operator in this area, and the specific rhythm is up to you to control."

"I get it," Scott said.

But thinking of Ronan's help to him, Scott couldn't help saying: "Nasdaq was severely hit last year, and Internet stocks have been sluggish. Although Apple welcomed Steve Jobs back, the situation has not been very good in the past two years. At this time, investing in Apple and Amazon..."

Ronan could hear that Scott was kind-hearted and pondered for a moment, and said, "I always thought that the Internet was the future. As for Apple, I believe Steve Jobs."

Faced with Scott, Ronan couldn't find any good reason. Even if he had studied the stock market in the past two years, he was only a general understanding level, which was far from comparable to that of professionals. It would be timid to say too much.

Ronan opened the briefcase, took out the file bag, and handed it to Scott: "This is the relevant authorization, and you will enter on time next Monday."

Scott packed the file bag and said, "No problem."

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, it was hard to say anything more. Moreover, Scott remembered what Ronan said to him before the Nasdaq bubble burst. Ronan's investment has always been successful, and perhaps he really saw something that others could not see.

There is never a shortage of people with unique eyes in this world.

Ronan once again reminded: "Before the stock market rebounds, all the $65 million should be exchanged for the target company's stock."

"Don't worry." Scott was full of confidence: "Using the current situation, it's not difficult to achieve the goal."

Ronan nodded and said, "Call me if you have any questions and keep communicating."

Scott said: "Okay."

Ronan sighed inwardly, hoping that everything would go well.

As long as you can achieve your goal, you can at least be invincible for a long time in the future.
