I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 100: Blackrock and Pioneer Pilot Force Nongjiashanquan to Attack Sihai Bingquan
Michael Smith sent out the video and apology letter, officially admitting defeat to Yang Chen.

Soon the video and apology letter spread all over the world, and international social platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and TIKTOK soon became lively again.

South Korean netizen Li Zhongguo: Wow, he really fell! It can be seen that the people of the Bald Eagle family are still very trustworthy. They are willing to accept the loss and not cheat at all. This deserves our praise.

Sakura Country netizen Shota Yokota: Can you stop licking me, you make me embarrassed. He took the initiative to challenge Yang Chen, and it was his duty to honor the bet after losing. What is there for you to lick? As an Asian, I am really ashamed of you.

John Smith, a Bald Eagle netizen: Our two dogs should stop quarreling. The owner didn't say anything, so what are you guys arguing about? I feel so ashamed. Smith smashed not only the Nobel Prize, but also the crown of our Bald Eagle's technological hegemony! I hope there are more powerful scientists in our country who will continue to challenge Yang Chen to get back their place.

Muhammad, a netizen from Sand Country: This duel was so exciting. The party that took the initiative to provoke was defeated miserably, and it also caused Sakura Country to be ridiculed as the mutant offspring of Avatar. Haha... I told you a long time ago that the technological strength of Dongda is no longer what it used to be. We always spend so much money on them. Do you think we are stupid and rich? Now you know how unique our vision is. We will talk to Dongda some other day and let Sihai Group develop a beverage based on our genes. Money is not a problem. Is 10 billion Eagle Coins enough? If not, 20 billion or 30 billion. As long as they can develop it, we have no shortage of money.

……

Soon after, the Nobel Committee also issued an announcement.

"We are sorry to see Mr. Smith do this to the Nobel Prize, which is unacceptable. But we can understand his current situation. We strongly protest to Yang Chen, chairman of Longguo Sihai Group. His disrespect for the Nobel Prize means disrespect for Mr. Nobel, disrespect for scientific researchers around the world, and even less respect for science and technology. Today is the darkest day in the global science and technology field, but we believe that light will eventually pierce the darkness, and justice will surely defeat evil."

All they could do was to rant and rave about their incompetence, there was really nothing they could do to Yang Chen.

However, the announcement from the Nobel Prize Committee once again proved how correct Yang Chen's idea of ​​breaking the superstition of the Nobel Prize was.

What the Bald Eagle family cannot accept the most is that they have been surpassed by the Dragon Kingdom in all aspects. Now the two sides are engaged in fierce competition in various fields.

The Smith Research Institute is one of the most powerful research institutes in the Bald Eagle family. Now that the director has admitted defeat to Yang Chen in this way, it not only affects Smith himself, but also affects the image and status of the Bald Eagle in the field of science and technology.

compete!

We must continue to compete!

Michael Smith received a call from the top of Bald Eagle's science and technology department, demanding that he must get back at Yang Chen without any room for negotiation. If he failed to do so, the Bald Eagle military and all companies would no longer cooperate with the Smith Institute.

As a private research institute, the Smith Institute's main funding sources are divided into two parts. The bulk of the funding comes from selling research results to major companies and the military, and the smaller part comes from bonuses, grants, donations, etc.

If the Bald Eagle family really makes an official statement not to allow the military and major companies to continue cooperating with the Smithsonian Institute, then the Smithsonian Institute will not be able to support more than 10,000 scientific researchers, and disintegration is an inevitable result.

Michael Smith couldn't accept that after working hard for most of his life, his hard work was shattered.

Therefore, Michael Smith accepted the order from the top leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology. They will find another technology that is sure to win and challenge Yang Chen again. They will definitely win back everything they lost.

……

At this time, there was jubilation on the Dragon Country Internet.

Netizens flocked to Yang Chen’s Weibo to express their blessings.

"Boss Yang, you are awesome! You actually made the other party smash two Nobel Prizes."

"I climbed over the firewall to check it out. This incident is also very popular on the Internet. The comments are extremely polarized. Netizens from countries that have good relations with our country are praising it, while netizens from countries that are competitors of ours are scolding us. This time, Boss Yang made the foreigners who admire our country admire us even more, and completely broke down the defense of our competitors. Well done!"

"I read the announcement issued by the Nobel Prize Committee, and now I finally understand why Boss Yang said he wanted to break the Nobel Prize superstition. Damn, it's clear that the Nobel Prize represents scientific research, which is really arrogant. Our country has developed so well, relying on tens of millions of unknown scientific researchers. If they can't get the recognition of the Nobel Prize, their achievements can be wiped out? I strongly support Boss Yang to continue doing this, and he must completely break the scientific superstition."

……

Originally, Yang Chen was using this wave of popularity created by Smith to launch his Four Seas Ice Spring. Now that his goal has been achieved, it is time to make a summary of this matter.

Yang Chen posted a Weibo update.

"Thank you for your attention and support. My employees and I will continue to work hard to bring you more surprising products and services. I have no prejudice against Mr. Nobel. I just don't want researchers all over the world to be superstitious about the Nobel Prize and feel that they are not good enough if they don't win the Nobel Prize. My original intention was to make all researchers confident and to establish a belief that every researcher and every scientific research result is unique and worthy of respect. We don't need others to define us. This matter ends here, please stop discussing it."

As soon as Yang Chen finished posting on Weibo, Chang Sheng, the CEO of Sihai Healthcare, came to see Yang Chen with a group of guests.

Chen Xi rushed in and reported, "Director Yang, General Manager Chang brought a group of guests here. They said they were from the sports department and wanted to talk to you in person about purchasing Sihai Ice Spring as the only drinking water for the national teams in various sports events."

The big order is coming, the big order is coming!

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Take them to the small meeting room, I'll be there later."

Chen Xi nodded and hurried out.

After a while, Yang Chen came to the small meeting room.

Everyone in the conference room quickly stood up, and Chang Sheng introduced Zhou Haiming, who was in charge of the procurement negotiations, to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen greeted Zhou Haiming, and after some pleasantries, they got down to business.

"We are particularly interested in the Sihai Ice Spring Professional Athlete Edition. We have communicated with experts from the Longke Institute and asked volunteers to do professional tests. We are very satisfied with the results. The leader ordered me to bring a team to talk to Mr. Yang. We want to replace the drinking water for all sports with Sihai Ice Spring Professional Athlete Edition. This includes the national team, provincial team, municipal team, youth team, professional sports colleges, etc. The demand will be very large. Although we don't want to morally blackmail Mr. Yang, we still hope that Mr. Yang can give a preferential supply price. On behalf of the sports department and all athletes, I thank Mr. Yang." Zhou Haiming said very politely.

From the moment the genetic potion was born, Yang Chen had anticipated that today's scene would happen.

Therefore, Yang Chen had already decided on the supply price.

"It's a good thing that athletes win glory for the country. Sports are an important indicator to measure a country's comprehensive strength. Although I'm not a moral role model, I'm willing to contribute to the development of the country's sports. Can I give you a 20% discount?" Yang Chen said.

Zhou Haiming said: "The athletes' demand for water is very high, and 2-3L of drinking water a day is the minimum amount. With so many athletes in the country, the amount of drinking water consumed every day is very large. If the price is too high, the funds cannot afford it. Can Mr. Yang give us a better discount? Please."

Yang Chen explained: "If you use the professional athlete version of water as your daily drinking water, it would be a waste. Just drink a 500ml bottle a day and stick to it for a long time. If you use it as daily drinking water, according to the 2-3L a day you mentioned, then you can just purchase the regular version, which is also % off, which is much cheaper. Or you can purchase more regular versions for all athletes to drink daily, and purchase the professional version for athletes who are specifically trained in projects that need to increase their physical strength. This way you can afford it."

They all want the professional version, and they still think it’s too expensive even at a 100% discount. Yang Chen won’t do it. If the price is any lower, he won’t make any money. There’s no point in making yuan from a bottle of water.

Zhou Haiming thought Yang Chen's suggestion was good, and then asked: "Boss Yang means that it must be used for a long time and slowly take effect, and it cannot be used in a short period of time to quickly get results by drinking more. Is that right?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "That's right! If you just want to restore your physical strength, drinking one bottle is enough. If you need to increase your body's reserve physical energy, you need to make a little progress every day until you reach your physical limit. Drinking more is useless, there's no need to waste it."

"Oh, I see! Okay, I know what Director Yang means. I will go back and report to my leader. If there are no problems, we will sign the contract immediately." Zhou Haiming said with a smile.

Yang Chen smiled and stood up, shook hands with Zhou Haiming, and personally sent them off.

The lowest price Yang Chen could accept was a 30% discount. If they continued to bargain, Yang Chen would give them the bottom price. If they stopped bargaining, he would give them a 20% discount.

Athletes at the city level and above across the country all use Sihai Ice Spring. How much does that make in a year?

Yang Chen didn’t even dare to think about it now, it was a lot of money anyway.

Zhou Haiming and others got in the car and left.

Chang Sheng immediately reported: "Director Yang, I have received many calls asking for the right to be an agent for Sihai Bingquan. Do you think we should develop our own channels or sell the agency rights like other products?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "If you don't have confidence in your product, you will develop channels yourself. If you have enough confidence in your product, you don't need to develop channels yourself, you can just sell the agency rights directly."

"What if the agent uses sales channels to threaten us to lower prices in the future? What should we do?" Chang Sheng asked.

"Add restrictions to the contract. When the agent's behavior does not conform to normal business logic, we can take back the agency rights free of charge. If you were an agent, would you dare to force me out? Without you, there are still many people waiting to grab the agency rights." Yang Chen said with a smile.

The fact that channel dealers can threaten brands only means one thing, that is, the products of this brand can be replaced by other brands, and the channel dealers can give the channels to similar products of other brands, which will not affect the channel dealers' profits.

If the brand's products are unique, channel dealers will not dare to commit suicide. Once the agency rights are revoked, they cannot replace them with products from other brands. They can only watch other competitors get this unique and popular product and gradually snatch away their market share. Moreover, if consumers do not accept products from other brands, their channels will be ruined.

Take Jingdong now for example, does he dare to threaten Yang Chen to lower the price?

If Yang Chen takes back the agency rights that Jingdong bought, companies like Ali Gaba will definitely come to buy it as soon as possible. Not only will Jingdong lose a profitable project, but its market share will also be taken away by Ali Gaba. If they switch to other brands of weight loss pills, consumers will not buy them. The loss will be huge. Mr. Liu dare not play this game.

Chang Sheng said, "Then I will arrange for the auction of Sihai Bingquan's agency rights and Sihai Sports' equity to be held at the same auction?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay. The starting price for the Four Seas Ice Spring agency is 50 billion. Companies with strength can come and bid."

Slimming pills and breast enhancement pills have population restrictions, and the market is limited, but water has no population restrictions. As long as everyone needs to drink water every day, its market is unlimited. Who doesn't want to improve their physical fitness?

Which parent doesn’t want their children to become strongmen?

Which woman doesn’t want her man to become a physical monster to make her happier?
Which child doesn’t want their elderly parents to be full of energy even at their old age?
The market for this product is so vast that it even goes beyond the scope of water.

Nongjia Spring sold 140 billion bottles last year, Ipoh sold 146 billion bottles last year, and there are other brands of water. This shows how huge the drinking water market is.

If Sihai Bingquan only needs to take even 1% of the market share, it can sell hundreds of millions of bottles a year.

If all calculations are based on the regular version, Yang Chen gives the agent a gross profit of about 2 yuan per bottle, and the annual gross profit is about 50 billion yuan. With this calculation, a starting bid of billion yuan is simply a bargain.

Whoever wins the permanent agency rights of Sihai Bingquan will be able to count money every year in the future.

The mere 50 billion agency fee is really not expensive at all. Yang Chen even feels that the capital participating in the auction may push the price up to more than 100 billion.

Chang Sheng replied, "Okay. I'll do it right away. Then I won't take Director Yang back to the office. Take care."

Yang Chen nodded and walked into the elevator.

Returning to the office, Yang Chen called Chen Xi in.

Having just won a battle, Yang Chen would definitely reward himself as per convention.

Yang Chen held Chen Xi in his arms and touched her all over, the two of them had a lot of fun.

……

On the other hand, the two major investment institutions of the Bald Eagle family, BlackRock and Vanguard, received instructions from relevant senior executives, ordering them to do something bad at the shareholders meeting of Nongjia Spring and snatch away the only water source of Sihai Bingquan in Changbai Mountain through Nongjia Spring.

As long as the high-quality water source of Changbai Mountain is gone, Sihai Ice Spring will not be able to produce in large quantities for a while. If water sources from other places are used in the future, the quality of Sihai Ice Spring will decline.

To put it bluntly, they were just trying to make things difficult for Yang Chen.

BlackRock and Vanguard are among the world's top asset management and investment companies. BlackRock manages assets totaling more than 10 trillion Eagle Coins, and Vanguard is on the shareholder lists of a number of large listed companies in Dragon Country, such as Rice and Alibaba.

BlackRock and Vanguard are the second and third largest shareholders of Nongjia Spring respectively. They are well-capitalized and play a vital role in the global capital market.

Although the two companies cannot control Nongjia Spring together, Nongjia Spring's controlling shareholder Zhong Yuemin will definitely take their opinions into consideration.

Because Nongjia Spring is listed on the Hong Kong stock market where there is no limit on price fluctuations, if they anger BlackRock and Vanguard, they will definitely be able to explode Nongjia Spring's stock price in collaboration with other investment companies.

What’s more important is that Zhong Yuemin’s son Zhong Juntao is of bald eagle nationality, which means his lifeline is being controlled.

BlackRock President Pacquiao and Vanguard President Barkley successively contacted Nongjia Spring President Zhong Yuemin, asking Zhong Yuemin to expand the scale of Changbai Mountain water sources and seize the water source of Sihai Bingquan.

Zhong Yuemin initially rejected their suggestions, but under their joint threat, Zhong Yuemin finally chose to compromise.

After all, Sihai Bingquan will seize the market share of Nongjia Spring. If the water source of Sihai Bingquan can be taken away, the momentum of Sihai Bingquan can be restricted to a certain extent.

The water source of Changbai Mountain is the best water source in Longguo, and the water sources of high-end drinking water brands are all here.

According to their idea, without the water source from Changbai Mountain, the sales of Sihai Bingquan would definitely be affected.

Zhong Yuemin used this high-sounding reason to order the company's top management to immediately contact Changbai Mountain to purchase the water source of Sihai Bingquan at a high price.

Five p.m.

Chen Xi sat in Yang Chen's arms and played on the computer, while Yang Chen was playing with Chen Xi. The two of them were playing their own games in great harmony.

Suddenly, Changsheng called.

“This Changsheng is really something, how could he pick the time so well! If you have something to say, why didn’t you say it when we met just now? Isn’t it delaying my work to call at this time?” Yang Chen complained.

Chen Xi kissed Yang Chen, and whispered in his ear: "I bought crotchless shiny stockings online, and I'll wear them for you tonight. You answer the phone, I'm going back to my office."

Yang Chen immediately sat up straight, and couldn’t help but laughed coquettishly again.

Shiny stockings, with an open crotch.

hey-hey……

Yang Chen already had a picture in his mind.

Chen Xi ran out with a smile on his face, and Yang Chen grinned happily.

Where can you find such a perfect woman like Chen Xi? You've got a treasure.

Yang Chen answered the phone and asked, "Boss Chang, is there anything wrong?"

Chang Sheng immediately said, "Director Yang, something has happened. There is a problem with our water source in Changbai Mountain. They asked us if we want to raise the price. If we don't double the price, they will end their cooperation with us and sell the reservoir to other brands."

"Damn! Why is it like this? Seeing that our products are selling well, they took the opportunity to raise the price, right? Don't they know that the key to our water selling well is not the water, but our technology? Using this to scare me is really funny. In this way, we will take the initiative to cancel the cooperation." Yang Chen said angrily.

Chang Sheng said in embarrassment: "Changbai Mountain water is our only water source at present. The cancellation of cooperation will have a huge impact on us. We have to be forced to stop all production activities. How about we temporarily meet their requirements and then find a suitable water source to replace it?"

Yang Chen sighed. Even though he was angry, he still had to seriously solve the problem.

"Okay, let's do as you say. Temporarily meet their requirements and then we can contact other water sources for replacement." Yang Chen said.

Chang Sheng hung up the phone and immediately contacted Changbai Mountain and accepted their request to double the price.

But at this time the other party said that other customers had offered three times the price, and Sihai had to offer at least three times the price.

Chang Sheng was so angry that he immediately asked the other party to tell him which company was so unethical. If they wanted to compete, they should compete openly. Why do such tricks?
The other party refused to tell him on the grounds of protecting customer privacy, so Chang Sheng had no choice but to give up.

Chang Sheng personally came to Yang Chen's office to report the situation.

"Director Yang, it looks like someone is targeting us. We agreed to double the price, but Changbai Mountain said a company offered three times the price and asked us if we would follow suit. This is obviously a deliberate attempt to take away our water source and stop us from producing new Sihai Bingquan products. The demand for our products is so great that they will definitely take away the market share of other companies, so it's not surprising that they did this, but Changbai Mountain is unwilling to say who is behind this. Alas..."

Yang Chen sneered and said, "Since he has attacked us, we must fight back. I'll make a phone call and make sure he shows his true form."

Changsheng nodded and sat down.

Yang Chen called Huang Wenkang and said directly: "Mayor Huang, I'm in trouble. Originally, Sihai Ice Spring was selling well, and I was going to produce more at full capacity, making a lot of money while the popularity was still there, and also clearing all the debts of Sihai Health and Sihai Sports. But just now, Changbai Mountain called and said that a company offered three times the price to grab our only water source, and they are not willing to reveal who is trying to grab our water source. Please help me find out."

Huang Wenkang immediately said, "Is there such a thing? Okay, wait a minute, I'll call Changbai Mountain to ask about the specific situation, and I'll give you a reply after I've found out."

Yang Chen hummed, then hung up the phone.

Huang Wenkang immediately contacted Changbai Mountain and soon found out that it was Nongjia Mountain Spring who was trying to steal the water source of Sihai Bingquan.

Huang Wenkang found the phone number of Zhong Yuemin from Nongjia Spring and immediately called him to ask, "Boss Zhong, why did you, Nongjia Spring, want to steal the water source of Sihai Bingquan in Changbai Mountain?"

Zhong Yuemin immediately replied: "It's normal business competition, Mayor Huang, please don't interfere, right?"

Huang Wenkang was speechless after hearing what Zhong Yuemin said. Logically speaking, Nongjia Spring's behavior is indeed normal business competition behavior, which makes sense everywhere.

Huang Wenkang's momentum obviously weakened a lot. He said with a smile: "You should know what the situation of Sihai Group is now. There are so many debts waiting for them to repay. Director Yang finally came up with a project that can make money. You can't take away their only source of income. It's true that you are engaging in normal business competition, but there is no need to compete in this way at this time, right?"

Zhong Yuemin sighed and said, "Mayor Huang, please be understanding. I have no choice. The shareholders asked for this, and I cannot refuse their opinions. Once Sihai Bingquan is launched in large quantities, it will definitely seize our market, so we must find a way to slow down their production. Mayor Huang, please don't worry about it. Let us solve the commercial competition with commercial behavior, and don't get involved in other things. Director Yang is in the limelight recently, and he can compete with us normally. If the government departments are allowed to intervene, our Nongjiashanquan is not a small company, right?"
