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

Chapter 126: Silver and Gates admit defeat, NBA sends 24 teams to Dragon Country

"Because the NBA does not protect the rights of the Miami Heat, after careful consideration, the Miami Heat has withdrawn from the NBA. From now on, the Miami Heat has no connection with the NBA. Please do not blame the Miami Heat for the NBA's actions. Thank you."

"Because we were unable to reach an agreement with the NBA league office, the Clippers decided to withdraw from the NBA. From now on, the Clippers have nothing to do with the NBA. Please do not vent your anger on the NBA to the Clippers, and do not implicate Microsoft. Thank you."

"The Trail Blazers cannot accept the NBA's disregard for the interests of major clubs and sponsors. After careful consideration, we have decided to withdraw from the NBA. Please ask relevant personnel to target other clubs instead of the Trail Blazers. Thank you."

The Cavaliers, Suns, 76ers and other teams also announced their withdrawal from the NBA. The Nets, Nuggets and other teams threatened to withdraw from all NBA games in the new season to support these teams' rights protection actions.

As the preseason is approaching in October, more than 20 teams have withdrawn or refused to play, which is tantamount to announcing that the NBA will be shut down.

The news quickly rushed to the Bald Eagle's Twitter, YouTube and other platforms, and the foreigners were "again" broken.

South Korean netizen Jin Zhongxi: What's going on? Kneeling again? Even Gates can't do anything? Are the Bald Eagles really capable? Are you still the Bald Eagle that dominates the world? How can you be so useless, being defeated by Yang Chen again and again. You are so useless, I won't give you the bodyguard fee next year.

Shinichi Miyamoto, a netizen from Sakura Country: NBA is about to disband because of Yang Chen's attack? This is too shocking, isn't it? Even with Gates as the leader, he can't beat Yang Chen? Why can Yang Chen succeed every time he shorts? Can anyone tell me how he does it? It can be seen that the bald eagle is really not good enough, it's time to return to the Chinese cultural circle.

Bald Eagle netizen Jim Hollis: Our two dogs should watch their words. If they dare to speak like this again, their protection fee will be increased tenfold next year. Having said that, Gates couldn't resist Yang Chen, which is something I never expected. Didn't Gates say that even if he threw all his wealth into increasing his holdings, he would keep the stock price up? Why didn't he keep the stock price up? Did he use all his wealth to increase his holdings?

Bald Eagle netizen Jeffs: Fuck! The NBA was just on lockout before, and there was no problem as long as the salary was negotiated. Now it is going to be disbanded, and we will have no NBA games to watch in the future. If Yang Chen wants the NBA to send a team to play against his team, wouldn’t it be fine if Xiao Hua sent a few teams to deal with it? Must it be like this now, and only be happy when the league is torn apart and disbanded?
Mohammed, a netizen from the Kingdom of Sand: Haha... I said they can't beat Yang Chen, right? Hurry up and learn from us, and buy more of Dragon Country's cutting-edge technology. As long as we maintain a good relationship with Dragon Country, Yang Chen will not take the initiative to short us. It's useless for Gates to come out, Microsoft's stock price has fallen to shit. If your country's company is targeted by him, do you have a boss who is more powerful than Gates to resist Yang Chen? In addition, I want to ask if I can claim compensation from Microsoft? The blue screen incident has had a huge impact on our airports, stock markets, banks, wills, and all walks of life. Such a huge loss can't be pretended not to have happened, right?

……

The media in Longguo also published related news.

Sports Express: Big news! Faced with Yang Chen's short selling, NBA bosses have no ability to resist. In order to minimize their wealth losses, the short selling bosses have issued announcements to withdraw from the NBA. The NBA is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment 78 years ago. If Yang Chen refuses to stop, the NBA will definitely be disbanded. Let's just say that Boss Yang's methods are too cruel, and Gates's actions are useless. I hope that both sides can negotiate amicably and don't let the fans have no games to watch.

Basketball Pioneer: The sky is falling for basketball fans all over the world. The Heat and 18 other teams have issued announcements to withdraw from the NBA, and the Nets and 5 other teams have issued statements refusing to play. If the NBA and Yang Chen cannot reach a settlement agreement, the NBA, which has been in operation for 78 years, will end. Boss Yang's ruthless and destructive method is really powerful. Even Gates's counterattack failed. Basketball fans in New York have taken to the streets to protest and force NBA President Adam Silver to protect the interests of various clubs, otherwise they will not leave the NBA headquarters. I hope that Adam Silver and Boss Yang can negotiate a settlement and don't make basketball fans sad.

Soon, news of the NBA’s disbandment appeared on the hot search lists of platforms such as Weibo and Tik Tok, and netizens came to watch the fun again.

"Didn't Gates say that he would spend all his wealth to maintain Microsoft's stock price? Why can Microsoft's stock price still drop by half? If Microsoft's stock price can't be maintained, the stock prices of the companies of those NBA bosses can't be maintained either. They can only cut ties with the NBA. I hope Boss Yang can show mercy and let them go."

"Boss Yang is so powerful that he can kill gods and demons. Even Bill Gates, the idol of entrepreneurs all over the world, is no match for him. The new generation is really better than the old."

"Why is the NBA still struggling? Now that Boss Yang has targeted them, they should just obey and do as he says. So many European football clubs have knelt, and the NBA, a basketball league, still wants to stand in front of Boss Yang?"

"Boss Yang once again showed the world how powerful he is. I never thought that Gates would be useless, and I never thought that NBA owners would be forced to withdraw from the NBA. Silver looked down on the Sihai basketball team. Let's see what choice he makes now."

……

When Heat owner Allison saw the huge reaction from netizens, he immediately came up with an idea.

Why not mobilize fans to take to the streets to force Silver to compromise?
Allison immediately contacted other club owners who had announced their withdrawal from the NBA and expressed his thoughts.

In fact, these bosses did not really want to withdraw from the NBA. They were just forced into a desperate situation by Yang Chen and had no choice but to cut ties with the NBA.

If it means they can keep their company and continue playing in the NBA, these owners would definitely be willing to give it a try.

So, after a group of bosses discussed it, they decided to pay people to take to the streets to protest.

Demonstrations and marches are commonplace in the Bald Eagle family, and they can be carried out immediately.

Early in the morning, tens of thousands of fans occupied New York's Times Square. They held up banners and shouted slogans, demanding that the NBA protect the rights of various clubs and prohibit discrimination against teams from other countries.

The Bald Eagles immediately dispatched a large number of police officers to maintain order and escort the fans towards the NBA headquarters on Fifth Avenue.

Major media outlets rushed to shoot footage and sent it out as quickly as possible to grab traffic.

Soon the fans blocked the entrance of the NBA headquarters building, and Silver had to come out to face everyone.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! I understand that you all want to watch the game, but you can't solve the problem in this way. I assure you that the new NBA season will start as scheduled, so please go home quickly." Silver said loudly while holding a loudspeaker.

But some of these protesting fans are hired by owners like Alisson, and they will not leave until they achieve their goal.

"You have to get the owners of the Miami Heat and other clubs to come to the scene and promise us that they will not withdraw from the NBA, otherwise we will not leave!"

"I like the Clippers and can't let them withdraw from the NBA!"

"If you ask the club owners who announced their withdrawal from the NBA to come over and give us a guarantee that they will not withdraw from the NBA, we will leave!"

……

Xiao Hua had no choice but to call all the bosses over for an emergency meeting.

Xiao Hua said in a panic: "You are too impulsive. It's not like we can't discuss it. Why do you have to take this step?"

Heat owner Allison immediately said, "Stop talking nonsense. Didn't I discuss this with you last night? You didn't care about our lives. We gave the order in front of you. Why are you pretending to be confused now? I still say that I'm going to go bankrupt. I can do anything!"

Clippers owner Ballmer immediately said, "If it doesn't work, we, the teams that have withdrawn from the NBA, will form a new basketball league, and the remaining teams will continue to play under the name of the NBA. We will each play our own games, and no one will interfere with anyone else. Is that okay? In short, if the league doesn't meet Yang Chen's requirements, we dare not have any connection with the NBA."

Xiao Hua immediately said: "That's definitely not possible. You can't form another basketball league to compete with us! Jenny, what do you think?"

Jeanie Buss looked unhappy. She didn't want the NBA to lower its status and send a team to play against the Four Seas team. However, the NBA was at risk of disbanding, and she didn't dare to continue to insist on her attitude.

Jeanie Buss sighed and replied: "You are the president of the NBA, you decide what to do, don't ask me!"

Other bosses have their own companies, but Jeanie Buss only has the Lakers. If the NBA is really disbanded, Jeanie Buss will have no choice but to retire and enjoy her retirement.

Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Jenny Buss had no choice but to compromise.

Those bosses who followed Jeanie Buss in opposing the NBA's compromise with Yang Chen no longer dared to oppose and expressed their willingness to obey Silver's arrangements.

Everyone looked at Xiao Hua. Now it was his turn to make the decision.

At this time, Microsoft Group Chairman Thompson called Silver.

Thomson said directly: "Mr. Xiao Hua, you call Yang Chen immediately to seek a settlement. Any request he makes must be met. You must convince him to stop shorting Microsoft Group before the stock market opens. Do you understand?"

Xiao Hua asked: "Mr. Gates will not resist?"

Thomson immediately said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You do what I say, or the sponsorship will be cancelled."

Thomson hung up the phone immediately, too embarrassed to continue.

Before, he was the one who forced the NBA not to accept Yang Chen's request, and now he is asking Xiao Hua to accept Yang Chen's request.

Before Silver could react, Disney President Bob Iger called.

"Mr. Xiao Hua, you must call Yang Chen immediately to seek a settlement. You must convince him to stop shorting Disney before the stock market opens. Do you understand?" Iger said.

Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment, then replied: "You won't resist either?"

Egger replied angrily: "What are we resisting? Yang Chen is too cruel. He bribed our shareholders and institutions, lent them stocks and sold them to suppress the stock price. How can we resist? Stop talking nonsense, quickly contact him to admit his mistake and ask for peace, otherwise I won't give you the remaining broadcast fee!"

As soon as Xiao Hua hung up the phone, the presidents or chairmen of AT&T Group, Puma, Under Armour and other companies called him one after another, all demanding that he must make peace with Yang Chen before the stock market opens, otherwise they would cancel the cooperation immediately and stop paying sponsorship fees.

The players have received doubled salaries thanks to broadcasting fees and sponsorship fees. If the subsequent broadcasting fees and sponsorship fees are no longer available, the players' salaries will not be paid and they will definitely "rebel."

So Xiao Hua had no choice at all, he could only admit defeat and compromise with Yang Chen.

Xiao Hua was silent for a while, then reluctantly called Yang Chen.

At this time, it was 10 o'clock in the evening in Longguo, and Yang Chen was telling Liu Mei a bedtime story.

"So the big bad wolf rushed towards the lamb, ah..."

"Well... I'm scared!"

"So scared!"

"Papa, I need a hug!"

……

The six beauties immediately divided up Yang Chen. Some occupied his head, some occupied his limbs, and some occupied his stomach.

“Hahaha…” Yang Chen laughed happily, this kind of day was really wonderful.

At this time, Xiao Hua called, interrupting this wonderful atmosphere.

Yang Chen answered the phone, and Xiao Hua forced a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang, I am NBA President Xiao Hua. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Yang Chen said directly: "At this time, do you think it will disturb my rest? What's the matter? Tell me." Xiao Hua smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Mr. Yang wants to play a friendly match with our NBA team. I think this is a very good idea. We are willing to accept Mr. Yang's invitation and send our team to play a friendly match with your team."

Yang Chen smiled and asked, "Not resisting anymore?"

Silver smiled awkwardly again and replied, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I wanted to accept your invitation, but Microsoft Chairman Thomson stopped me from accepting it. He even used Mr. Gates to guarantee me. Now they have received the punishment they deserve and dare not go against Mr. Yang anymore. I can contact Mr. Yang to discuss the friendly match without any worries."

The club owners on the side all looked at Xiao Hua with contempt, how could he lie with his eyes open.

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said, "Oh, so that's what happened. It doesn't matter if there's a misunderstanding, just resolve it. Is your side open for trading? Act faster, do what you should do, and I will do what I should do. Otherwise, the stock prices of your sponsors and club owners' companies will fall again. Oh, by the way, tell Gates to pass a message to Powell. If he doesn't unfreeze the accounts of the five major banks, I will continue to short Microsoft and then Apple. He must consider whether he can bear the consequences of the stock price collapse of the Bald Eagle's star technology company."

Xiao Hua glanced at his watch. It was already nine o'clock and five minutes past nine. He had to race against time to complete Yang Chen's request.

"Okay, I'll do as you say right away!" Xiao Hua said.

Xiao Hua hung up the phone and immediately called Gates.

Xiao Hua told Gates about Yang Chen's request, and Gates immediately called Powell.

"Mr. Powell, unfreeze the accounts of the five major banks in China immediately!" Gates said bluntly.

Powell said angrily: "Mr. Gates, have you tried your best? Didn't you say you would spend all your wealth to keep Microsoft's stock price? Why did it turn out like this?"

Gates was already very angry about losing to Yang Chen, and after hearing Powell's words, he could no longer hold back the anger in his stomach.

"I also want to know why it turned out like this. Damn, no one in this gang is loyal. Those damn companies like BlackRock stabbed me in the back just to make money! Microsoft's market value is 3 trillion Eagle Dollars. Even if I spend all my fortune, I can't buy all the stocks they have! Fuck!" Gates roared angrily.

The idol of two generations, the genius of his generation, Gates, has now been beaten down by Yang Chen. Before this, Gates would never have thought that there would be such a day, and his fans certainly would not have dared to imagine that there would be such a person who could crush their idol.

Powell naturally didn't dare to confront Gates. He softened his tone a little and said, "Mr. Gates, don't get excited. I'm just asking casually."

“What the hell are you asking! Hurry up and do what I say, or I’ll talk to those Morgan families and remove you from your position as the top leader! If I can’t deal with Yang Chen, how can I deal with you?” Gates said angrily.

Powell lost his temper and quickly assured, "I understand, I understand. I know what to do. Don't be angry, Mr. Gates. I will contact their negotiation team right away to come and talk again. I promise that we will reach a settlement agreement this time. OK?"

Gates immediately responded: "You'd better do it!"

Gates hung up the phone immediately.

Powell sighed and ordered his secretary to contact the delegation of the five major banks in Longguo to come over for negotiations.

On the other hand, the NBA league office issued an announcement.

"NBA fans around the world, I'm very sorry. There were some misunderstandings between the league office and the clubs, and something happened that made everyone unhappy. Now the NBA league office has reached a settlement with the clubs. The NBA will not disband or shut down. We guarantee that the new season will be held as scheduled and all clubs will participate. In order to save the NBA's market in Longguo, the league office decided to send a team to Longguo to play a friendly match with the Sihai team. Clubs that are willing to play in Longguo have taken the initiative to sign up. We will respect the clubs' choices and allow them to play a friendly match in Longguo with the Sihai team."

The Heat followed up with an announcement.

"After friendly consultation and careful consideration, we have decided to cancel our decision to withdraw from the NBA and continue to compete in the new season to present exciting games to our fans. In addition, the Heat team has taken the initiative to sign up to play a friendly match with the Sihai team in Longguo. Longguo fans, see you in Longguo Jiangcheng."

The Clippers also issued a statement.

"After friendly negotiations, the misunderstanding between the Clippers and the league office has been resolved. We have canceled our decision to withdraw from the NBA and will continue to play in the NBA in the new season. We hope to expand the Longguo market. We have taken the initiative to sign up to go to Longguo to play a friendly match with the Sihai team. I hope the league will approve it."

Subsequently, the Suns, Magic, 76ers, Cavaliers, Nets and others issued similar announcements.

Originally, Yang Chen only wanted three NBA teams to play against the Sihai team, but now more than a dozen teams have signed up, and Xiao Hua doesn't know which three teams to choose.

So, Xiao Hua called Yang Chen again, gave him the list of registered teams, and asked Yang Chen to select the team to play against the Sihai team.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Since they all want to come, then let them all come."

Xiao Hua was stunned. This Yang Chen had such a big appetite.

Xiao Hua only dared to think so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"If Mr. Yang thinks it's okay, then it's fine." Xiao Hua said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said, “I think it’s okay, let them all come. You guys take care of your own food and lodging, and buy your own insurance. I only ask you to come and play the game, and I don’t care about anything else.”

Xiao Hua was almost crying out of grievance. The slave owners in the past were not so cruel. They should at least give the slaves food and a bed to sleep on after they finished their work, right?
"Okay... okay... we will arrange everything ourselves and don't bother Mr. Yang." Xiao Hua forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.

Yang Chen smiled happily, and said: "Then it's settled. I'm already prepared here, you guys come over as soon as possible."

Xiao Hua quickly replied: "Okay, okay. I'll make arrangements right away and go there as soon as possible."

Not long after, the NBA league issued a new announcement.

"After friendly negotiations, the NBA League Office decided to have the Lakers, Celtics, Kings, Jazz, Rockets, Hornets and other six teams play preseason games in Las Vegas, and the remaining teams will all go to Longguo Jiangcheng to play friendly matches with the Sihai team. The NBA Longguo Tour will start on October 6 and end on October 10. I wish this NBA Longguo Tour goes smoothly. Longguo fans, here we come!"

Soon the NBA’s new announcement went viral on Twitter, with netizens from all over the world staging another defense-breaking drama.

South Korean netizen Li Dazhong: Damn, is the NBA kneeling so thoroughly this time? Sending 24 teams to play against the Four Seas team at once! I really can't stand it, why can't a country as powerful as the Bald Eagle find someone who can deal with Yang Chen?

Sakura Country netizen Aoi Ryosuke: Am I seeing this right? 24 teams going to play against the Four Seas team? Where is the NBA's status? Are you ignoring the brand value? Who will want to watch NBA games in the future if you do this? Are you not afraid of being laughed at by fans all over the world for mobilizing so many teams to play against a newly formed amateur team?
Richardson, a Bald Eagle netizen: I can't stand it anymore. NBA should just go to Dragon Country to host the game. It's really embarrassing for the whole world. You vowed before that you would never lower yourself to play against the Four Seas team. Now you send so many teams to play there at once. Do you still have dignity?
Mohammed, a netizen from the Kingdom of Sand: Haha... Dignity must be won with strength. Gates can't beat Yang Chen, so what right do you have to talk about dignity in front of Yang Chen? The loser should honestly pay the protection fee, this is an eternal truth. Yang Chen is the winner, he should get these spoils. Countries that are still waiting and watching should stop waiting and quickly follow our footsteps to join the great Eastern country.

……

Sports Express, Basketball Pioneer and other media immediately posted the NBA league's announcement on the Longguo Internet, which once again set off a sensation on the Longguo Internet.

"Haha... Boss Yang won again! He's so happy with his win!"

"Oh my god, 24 teams were sent here all at once. If you didn't know, you would think the NBA was going to be held in Dragon Country."

"What happened to the Lakers? The owners are poor, they don't have a listed company, and they escaped Boss Yang's threats, right?"

"But I'm uneducated, so I can only say 'wow'. Boss Yang is really awesome. He said he would get the NBA to send a team here to play games, and he will definitely do what he says. Football and basketball fans in Longguo are so happy that they can watch high-quality games right at their doorstep."

……

the other side.

Powell and the head of the Bald Eagle Securities Regulatory Department, Galicosler, are conducting a new round of negotiations with representatives of Longguo, and the negotiations between the two sides have entered the final stage.

Powell said unwillingly: "We can unfreeze your accounts immediately. I hope you and Yang Chen can go long on our stock market in the future, and don't go short at every turn. Is that okay?"

"Hope" and "OK?", these two words clearly express Powell's attitude of admitting defeat at this time.

Powell had previously spoken to the representatives of the five major banks in an imperative tone, but now it had changed to a pleading tone. This was because he had been scared by Yang Chen and had to be more humble.

Zheng Qiangdong, the representative of CCB, leaned back in his chair and laughed loudly, then said, "I have told you a long time ago that you are not qualified to negotiate with us from the perspective of strength! Do you agree with me now?"

Powell and Gallicos nodded with heavy faces, but were too embarrassed to speak.

Chen Shihong, the representative of Longguo Bank, smiled and said, "You are not qualified to put forward conditions to us now. We can only guarantee that we will operate in accordance with the regulations of Bald Eagle Securities. We cannot promise anything else. Sign it!"

Chen Shihong threw the agreement in front of Powell and Galicosler, just like the arrogance when the great powers signed the unequal treaties with the Qing Dynasty.

The other bank representatives threw the agreement in front of Powell and Gallicossler, and everyone watched with a smile on their faces as they picked up the pen and signed one by one.

call……

Cool!
There is a sense of accomplishment in avenging the Qing Dynasty!
Soon, all the frozen accounts of the five major banks were unfrozen, and funds could flow in and out normally.

Representatives from the five major banks reported the situation here to their families and requested the head office to check whether the funds accounts had returned to normal.

At this time, the Bald Eagle stock market had been open for half an hour, and the stock prices of the companies that Yang Chen had shorted had generally fallen by about 5%.

Gates immediately called Yang Chen and urged him, “Mr. Yang, we have met all your requirements. Please stop shorting Microsoft Group immediately. You promised BlackRock and other shareholders that you would bring Microsoft’s stock price back up. Please do what you said.”

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Really? Let me confirm. If all my requirements are met, I will ask them to stop short selling immediately. Don't worry, I will buy at a low price and wait for Microsoft's stock to rise before making another profit. I will definitely pull the stock price back up."

Gates: "..."

robber!

A complete financial robber.

First make some money by short selling, and then buy at a low price and make another wave of money by pushing up the price. How can you play it like this? You make money twice in one round of operation.

Gates said weakly: "Haha... That's good, that's good... Thank you, Mr. Yang..."
