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

Chapter 107 You borrow a knife to kill someone, and I borrow a knife to kill someone too

Jiangcheng Municipal Government.

Secretary Xiao Liu hurried to Wang Wenkang's office and reported: "Mayor Wang, something bad has happened. FIFA and other international sports organizations have issued a notice prohibiting Chinese athletes from drinking Sihai Ice Spring. Once found, they will be banned directly. As a result, the cooperation between Sihai Ice Spring and the national team has failed, and Sihai Health will lose a lot of money."

Wang Wenkang excitedly opened his phone to search for relevant news, and after reading it, he quickly called Yang Chen.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, what did the national team say? Are they going to cancel the cooperation?" Huang Wenkang asked straight to the point.

Yang Chen smiled and asked: "Why did they cancel the cooperation?"

"Ah? Didn't you read the news online? FIFA, Basketball, Athletics, and all international sports federations have issued announcements prohibiting Dragon athletes from drinking Sihai Ice Spring, otherwise they will be banned. Didn't the national team contact you?" Wang Wenkang replied.

"Oh, about this matter, they haven't contacted me yet. I guess they are in a meeting to discuss what to do." Yang Chen replied easily.

Wang Wenkang couldn’t hear any nervousness in Yang Chen’s tone, so he smiled and asked, “Have you figured out a way to deal with it?”

"I'm thinking of a solution. As long as it's a problem, there must be a solution. Don't panic. I'm going to take a nap. Bye." Yang Chen said with a smile.

On the other hand, the Sports Bureau is holding an emergency meeting to discuss the issue of international sports organizations restricting Dragon athletes from drinking Sihai Ice Spring.

"I don't think there's any need to be nervous. We can pour water into the athletes' cups. How do they know what our athletes are drinking?"

“What if they do random testing?”

"The Longke Institute has confirmed that the Four Seas Ice Spring contains no banned ingredients. Even if we test it, no problems will be found. If it doesn't work, let the athletes drink it in the dormitory or at home. It's okay to increase the upper limit of physical reserves little by little. Just don't drink it in public."

"Alas... It really makes me feel uncomfortable to have such a good thing but not be able to use it. Why not contact Boss Yang and ask for his opinion?"

……

The Sports Bureau leader immediately ordered Zhou Haiming, who was in charge of purchasing, to contact Yang Chen to communicate and hear what Yang Chen had to say.

Zhou Haiming immediately called Yang Chen and asked with a smile, "Director Yang, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Yang Chen rubbed his eyes and replied, "Sorry for disturbing my sleep. What's the matter?"

Zhou Haiming was a little embarrassed. It was rare for someone to speak to him so directly and without giving him face.

"Well... didn't the International Sports Federation issue a notice prohibiting Dragon athletes from using Sihai Ice Spring? We just signed the cooperation agreement and this happened a few days ago. We would like to hear your opinion." Zhou Haiming said.

Yang Chen immediately replied: "Don't worry, we provide after-sales service. Just give me a word, do you want to do as they say, or do you want to drink the Four Seas Ice Spring openly like you do now."

"Oh, Mr. Yang, you asked this question. Of course we want to be able to drink Sihai Ice Spring openly like we do now. But we can't let the athletes be suspended. What's the point of playing behind closed doors? Don't you agree?" Zhou Haiming said.

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. I'll go to sleep first, and then do things after I wake up. You don't have to worry, we will provide after-sales service. Hang up." Yang Chen replied lazily, and then hung up the phone.

From what Yang Chen said, it seemed that there was a way to deal with it.

Zhou Haiming quickly told his colleagues exactly what Yang Chen said.

"He has a way to deal with it? We are all helpless, what can he do?"

"If it was a listed company that was causing trouble, perhaps he could force them to comply by means of short selling. But these are international organizations, not listed companies. How can he force them to change their minds?"

"I think since he dared to say that, he must have had some idea. Let's wait patiently for now and see what he does after he wakes up."

"I agree! We won't express our views for now. Let's see what Yang Chen does first, and then decide how we respond to the international sports organization based on the results of his actions."

……

The others nodded in agreement, waiting to see the results of Yang Chen's actions before deciding how to express their opinions.

The announcements from international sports organizations quickly spread around the world, and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell was very satisfied after seeing the news.

"Haha... You are the only one who can play open conspiracy? I can do it too! There is no solution to my open conspiracy. Even if you are a business genius, what can you do? Can you do anything to these international organizations? Haha..." Powell said with a very proud smile.

The assistant at the side flattered him, "Mr. Powell is really resourceful. This conspiracy of borrowing a knife to kill someone is really unsolvable. Not to mention him as a businessman, even the official organization of Dragon Country can't do anything about it. Either they do it, or they can do it on their own in the future."

Powell laughed and said, "I can't stop him from making waves in the stock market, but can I also stop his products from being put on the market?"

At this time, Marquez Rubio, the chief executive of the Bald Eagle's genetic weapons project, called Powell.

"Haha... Mr. Powell, you played this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife so well. Why didn't I think of it? It made me unhappy these days." Rubio said gloatingly.

Powell laughed and replied smugly, "This guy treats our financial market as an ATM. What's worse is that he always shorts our giant companies, making money while humiliating us. How can I tolerate his tyranny? This time I will give him a small warning. If he dares to short our stock market again, I will make him suffer even more."

"Haha..." The two of them laughed heartily.

Rubio then said, "I'm in such a good mood right now, let's drink together tomorrow?"

"Okay! Let's have a drink together tomorrow." Powell replied happily.

At this time, netizens from all over the world are also discussing this issue enthusiastically on platforms such as YouTube and Twitter.

South Korean netizen Lee Seung-heon: Great, this should have happened a long time ago. It is so unfair to other countries for them to use technology so blatantly. As long as there is no technology to help, we will still be the strongest in Asian football.

Shinichi Yokota, a netizen from Sakura Country: We are wronged. We were beaten by them with technology. Otherwise, we would have been able to brag about our 7:0 victory over them for the rest of our lives. Just because they used technology, we lost 0:8 to them and were mocked by fans all over the world as the descendants of Avatar. It is really a great shame. But I still want to say that without any technology, the strongest football team in Asia is our Sakura Country. Don't embarrass yourself, Koreans. You can't play football without using dirty moves. Do you still want to be the strongest in Asia?

Bald Eagle netizen Jeff Duncan: Xiao Baga and Xiao Xiba shut up, we haven't said anything, why are you so angry? Let me tell you, my cousin works at the Federal Reserve Bank of Eagle, this matter was completely handled by Powell, this is the strength of our Bald Eagle, with just one sentence, we can make the sports organizations of major countries in the world follow us and ask the international sports organizations to do things according to our wishes. This time it's just a small warning to Yang Chen, if he dares to come to our country to short stocks at will in the future, there will be more severe punishment for him.

A netizen from India, Galawa: As a pharmaceutical kingdom, India can easily produce this kind of high-tech water that is only effective for its own people. But we did not do so because we want to compete fairly with athletes from other countries. We advise the people of Dragon to not be clever. It is not because you are good, but because we are too lazy to make it.

German netizen Arnold: Great, great, they are finally banned from using that damn technology. If it weren't for the technology water helping them last time, how could we lose to them by 2 points? Now I really want to play against them again, so as to prove that our real strength is stronger than theirs.

……

Sihai Group.

Unable to bear the pressure from public opinion, the Sports Bureau representative Zhou Haiming, the Supply and Marketing Group representative, and Wang Wenkang from the Jiangcheng Municipal Government came to Sihai Group to find Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, we really can't take it anymore. The pressure from public opinion is too great. What are you going to do?" said Zhou Haiming, a representative of the Sports Bureau.

The representative of the Supply and Marketing Group said, "Yes, we just spent so much money to win the agency rights of Sihai Bingquan. This ban will have a certain impact on our sales. Director Yang also knows that our group has just completed the reorganization, and it can be said that we have bet everything on Sihai Bingquan. You can't let us lose too badly."

Wang Wenkang smiled and said, "Everyone, please be patient. Director Yang looks so confident that he has a way to deal with it. This matter is difficult to resolve after all. Let's give Director Yang a few more days. Okay?"

Everyone looked at Yang Chen, still wanting to hear what his plan was.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Director Zhou, if Longchao or LBA don't have sponsors to support them, and there are no major broadcasters to buy the broadcasting fees, can you still operate these two leagues?"

Zhou Haiming shook his head and said, "That's definitely not going to work. We can't even pay salaries by relying on ticket sales. It's also unrealistic to rely entirely on government subsidies. There's not that much funding for clubs."

Yang Chen nodded, and asked again: "If sponsors cancel their cooperation with organizations such as FIFA, and broadcasters no longer broadcast games of these sports. Do you think these organizations can still operate?"

Zhou Haiming replied: "That's definitely not going to work. We can't rely on membership fees to make it work. But those international competitions are popular with many big names. How can they cancel the cooperation? If the broadcasters don't broadcast popular competitions, how can they make money?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "I have a way to make sponsors afraid to sponsor, and broadcasters afraid to broadcast."

At this point, Wang Wenkang had already guessed Yang Chen's method. "Haha... Director Yang is indeed very smart. The Bald Eagle family used a knife to kill someone, and you also used a knife to kill someone. Wonderful! Wonderful!" Wang Wenkang said with a smile.

Representatives from the Sports Bureau and the Supply and Marketing Group were all confused. How could this be considered killing someone with a borrowed knife?
"Mr. Yang, Mayor Wang, I'm sorry, forgive my stupidity, but I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain it more clearly so that we can feel at ease?" Zhou Haiming said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded, and replied: "Those big names must be listed companies, and the shareholders of large broadcasters must also be listed companies, or have invested in listed companies. I will make the stock prices of these companies fall to a level they can't accept, and then I will set conditions for them to come forward and force those international sports organizations to cancel the ban on Sihai Bingquan. Will they agree? Will those international sports organizations agree to lift the ban on Sihai Bingquan?"

The representatives from the Sports Bureau and the Supply and Marketing Group understood instantly and then burst into laughter.

"Director Yang's move is really ingenious. I never thought it could be played this way. I admire you! I admire you!" Zhou Haiming said with a smile.

The representative of the Supply and Marketing Group said: "Mr. Yang's method does sound very clever, but it is too difficult to implement. How can you ensure that you can successfully short the stock prices of those highly profitable companies? Institutions and stockholders will not listen to your orders and short with you."

Yang Chen smiled and said, “This is my business secret, I’m sorry I can’t tell you clearly. Anyway, as long as I target them, I want their stock prices to fall, and their stock prices will fall, and no one can stop them.”

Wang Wenkang said quickly: "Director Yang's operation method is well-known and known to people all over the world. Since Director Yang said so, you two families don't have to worry at all, just wait and see. In the end, Bald Eagle's Smith Institute and Coca-Cola will definitely be blamed for this matter. I dare to say so now. Haha..."

There is nothing wrong with what he said. The Sports Bureau and the Supply and Marketing Group may not believe in Yang Chen's abilities in other aspects, but they must unconditionally believe in his ability to operate stocks.

Zhou Haiming smiled and said, "In that case, we can rest assured. Director Yang's control over the stock market is beyond reproach."

The representative of the Supply and Marketing Group immediately said, "Then we will wait for good news from Director Yang. When Director Yang is free, please operate our company's stock and help us raise the stock price to a safe level. The current price of more than one yuan is too dangerous. Haha..."

Considering the 60 billion agency fee, Yang Chen agreed.

"Okay, okay. I'll ask the investment department to help you raise the stock price to more than three yuan. Then we'll sell the stock to suppress it, and finally stabilize it at around two and a half yuan. Okay?" Yang Chen said with a smile.

The total share capital of China Supply and Marketing Co-operative is 180.6 billion shares, and the current share price is 1.6 yuan. If the share price can finally stabilize at around 2.5 yuan, it means that the mayor’s share price will increase by about 160 billion yuan.

The company spent 60 billion to purchase the agency rights of Sihai Bingquan, and its market value increased by 160 billion. This is a huge profit.

The representative of the Supply and Marketing Group immediately shook Yang Chen's hands excitedly and said, "That's great! Haha... Then I'll leave it to Director Yang, we will definitely have a pleasant cooperation. Haha..."

After seeing off Wang Wenkang and the others, Yang Chen went to the Investment Department.

Chen Chao ran over to greet Yang Chen, and said with a smile: "Director Yang, according to your instructions, we have almost sorted out the information. We have sorted out the information of all the co-sponsors and broadcasters of the international sports leagues, whether they are our company or major shareholders. Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Yang Chen nodded, sat in his exclusive boss chair and waited.

Huang Wei at the side couldn't help but ask: "Director Yang, what are you going to do?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Today I will teach you a trick to hit the bull from behind the mountain. I want to force those sports leagues to admit defeat. I don’t have to target them. As long as I can subdue all the sponsors related to them, I can still achieve the desired effect. The Eagle Federal Reserve can mobilize the sports organizations of those countries to put pressure on the international sports leagues to threaten me, and I can also mobilize their sponsors to threaten them. With so many big companies and broadcasters putting pressure on them, I wonder how many of them can withstand this kind of pressure. You are living a hard life now and it doesn’t matter, but if you have lived a life of extravagance for decades and suddenly have to live this kind of hard life again, can you bear it?”

After Yang Chen said this, everyone understood his operating ideas.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Boss Yang is still smart. No one can withstand the anger from Party A's father."

"Haha..." The whole audience laughed.

Not long after, the traders sorted out the information, and Chen Chao immediately took it and handed it to Yang Chen for review.

Yang Chen flipped through it, then said with a smile: "FIFA was the first to jump, and football is the most popular sport in the world, so let's start with it. Adidas, Coca-Cola, Visa, Hyundai Motor, Sony, we will deal with these companies first."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Coca-Cola is really tragic. We just beat them up, and before they can recover, they are being beaten up again."

Huang Wei followed up by saying, “You know what, they always run into our guns. This is fate.”

"Haha..." Everyone laughed again.

These companies are all listed on the Bald Eagle Stock Exchange, so it's a good idea to deal with them all together in the evening.

Hyundai Motor’s total share capital is 4.46 million, the current share price is 65.5 Eagle Coins, and the total market value is 292.13 billion Eagle Coins.

Sony's total share capital is 300 billion shares, the current share price is 23.5 Eagle Coins, and the total market value is 7050 billion Eagle Coins.

Visa’s total share capital is 18.63 billion shares, the current share price is 308 Eagle Coins, and the total market value is 5738 billion Eagle Coins.

Adidas has a total share capital of 3.57 million shares, a current share price of 110 Eagle Coins, and a total market value of 392.7 billion Eagle Coins.

The total share capital of the big complainer Coca-Cola is 43 billion shares. It has just been dealt with by Yang Chen. The stock price is recovering. Yesterday's closing price was 61 Eagle Coins, and the current market value is 2623 billion Eagle Coins.

Chen Chao asked: "Director Yang, how many Eagle Coins do we need to borrow from the five major banks this time?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "We won't use our own account to operate this time. If we make too big a move, it will be easy to be targeted. If the Bald Eagle family suddenly issues a bill, or simply forcibly freezes the money we earn after closing our positions, then it will be troublesome."

"Ah? Then how do we do it?" Chen Chao asked.

It’s not that Yang Chen is a mean person and is judging others by their own standards, but it’s better to be careful. Besides, Powell’s assistant has already suggested freezing the Sihai Investment account. Powell was unwilling to do so before, but it doesn’t mean that Yang Chen will not be willing to do so again when he shorts the stocks in the Eagle Market on a large scale.

Therefore, Yang Chen thought of a way, this time directly using the accounts of the five major banks to carry out short selling operations.

The five major banks are strong enough, and the Bald Eagle family would not dare to illegally freeze their accounts unless they were at odds, unless it no longer wanted to invest its own company in Dragon Country.

Yang Chen called ICBC President Zhao Kun.

"Hey, President Zhao, please do me a favor. I want to borrow your account to short several companies listed on the Bald Eagle stock market, and I also want to borrow some foreign exchange from you. Is it convenient?" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Kun laughed and replied, "Mr. Yang, it's a bit too polite to say that. Just tell us how you want to use it. We will cooperate unconditionally."

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Okay! You help me bear the risks, and I won’t let you suffer any losses. I’ll use your accounts and your money, and we’ll split the net profits in half. Is that okay?”

Zhao Kun laughed happily and said, "Of course! This way, whenever you need it, I will directly connect with you via video, and we will do whatever you say. As for the risks, we will bear them. As long as it is the money earned, we will immediately transfer half of it to you in China, and you don't have to worry about the foreign exchange issue."

"Haha... that's what I want you to say. Video call at 9 o'clock tonight. It's settled then. I'll call the other bank presidents to chat." Yang Chen said.

Last time, ICBC made a lot of money by following Yang Chen to short Deutsche Bank and other companies. Now Yang Chen is going to do it again, and Zhao Kun is reluctant to give the profits to other banks.

"Mr. Yang, we have enough foreign exchange, enough accounts, and strong enough strength. It's okay for us to work hard. We can help Mr. Yang complete all the short-selling work. Hehehe..." Zhao Kun said.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I want to short Hyundai, Sony, Visa, Coca-Cola, and Adidas at once this time. Are you sure you can buy them all? I can completely understand your desire to make money. But you can't delay my important business. The purpose of this operation is not to make money."

Zhao Kun immediately smiled and said, "I didn't know the purpose of Mr. Yang's operation just now, but after you mentioned the names of these companies, I roughly guessed it. These companies are all sponsors of FIFA. You want to short sell them and force them to ask FIFA to withdraw the ban on Sihai Bingquan. Right?"

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said, “President Zhao is really smart, he guessed my purpose right away. That’s right, it’s true, so making money is secondary, the main task is to successfully force these companies to ask me to negotiate, so that I can make such a request to them. Therefore, you must ensure that you can take it all, and no mistakes are allowed.”

ICBC is the most powerful bank in Dragon Country and it does have such capability.

It’s not that Yang Chen doesn’t believe it, he just wants to make it clear to Zhao Kun that if any problems occur later, Zhao Kun must take responsibility.

Zhao Kun immediately assured Yang Chen: “Don’t worry, Director Yang, if anything goes wrong here, I will bear all the consequences. I will resign without hesitation.”

“Okay! It’s settled then. Get ready over there and we’ll have a video call at 9pm tonight.” Yang Chen said.

Zhao Kun said happily: "Okay, okay, thank you, Director Yang, I will go and prepare now. Haha..."
