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

Chapter 202 The Bald Eagle Breaks Through Defenses, Forcing TikTok to Sell Its Account
Early in the morning, Yang Chen received a call from Gao Han, the chairman of the Urban Construction Group, as soon as he arrived at the company.

"Chairman Yang, do you think it's possible to settle our old scores?" Gao Han asked.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Don't we settle the previous month's payment for the project every month now?"

Gao Han quickly explained, "That's right, we do settle the project payments every month for the previous month. But the debts Wang Sihai owed us when he was in charge of Sihai Group haven't been settled yet. Chairman Yang, what I'm thinking is this: you can temporarily delay the project payments for six months, but settle the project payments from Wang Sihai's time with us. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen immediately refused, saying, "That's definitely not possible! I will settle your accounts according to the rules after I take power. How the debts from Wang Sihai's time are settled depends on my arrangements. I don't want to settle your debts from Wang Sihai's time right now, so please wait a little longer."

"No... Chairman Yang, I just don't understand. The debts incurred during Wang Sihai's time all accrue interest. Wouldn't it be a great way to save on interest if you settled them sooner?" Gao Han asked.

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "I don't care about that little bit of interest. As long as I settle the accounts with you, that's up to me. Alright, that's all."

Despite being the chairman of the Urban Construction Group, Gao Han dared not say anything unpleasant to Yang Chen. If Yang Chen said so, then so was he.

At this point, the system issues a notification.

"The host refuses to repay the debt to the Urban Construction Group. The system rewards the host with the [Real-time Translation Eye] technology. Effective immediately."

Yang Chen immediately pictured a watch, a pair of glasses, a manufacturing process, a voice program, and so on. At the same time, a USB flash drive appeared in his pocket.

Once Yang Chen's mind returned to normal, he quickly took out the USB drive from his pocket, inserted it into the computer, and checked the data inside.

This real-time translation glasses are different from similar products on the market. It can automatically convert all the text it sees into the language set by the user, and it can also automatically translate the language spoken by the target person or machine into the language set by the user and display it on the lenses of the glasses.

Users can communicate with people who speak different languages ​​by speaking their native language, and the watch will automatically translate what the user says into the other person's language and broadcast it.

The strength of this product lies in the fact that it not only covers all languages ​​in the world, but can also recognize dialects.

Moreover, it can not only connect to the internet, but also connect to satellites in places where there is no network, making it convenient for users to use in emergency situations.

Watches can not only tell time and monitor heart rate, but also provide voice prompts, location tracking, make phone calls, watch videos online, and browse TikTok.

With these glasses and a watch, users will not have language barriers anywhere in the world.

Moreover, the glasses can come in a variety of styles, such as prescription glasses or sunglasses, allowing users to choose which type to buy based on their needs.

Yang Chen muttered to himself, "The product is good, but the market doesn't seem very big, unless we can get a large number of Chinese people to go abroad or a large number of foreigners to come to China."

In recent years, the number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad has dropped significantly, and some luxury stores and duty-free shops in various countries have closed down due to the lack of Chinese tourists buying their goods.

Therefore, the only solution is to attract a large number of foreigners to travel to China, which will create a market for these real-time translation glasses.

Yang Chen called Huang Wei, the president of Sihai Intelligent, and handed her the copied technical data on the real-time translation glasses.

"Immediately arrange for R&D personnel to thoroughly understand these technologies and produce a batch of samples for testing as quickly as possible," Yang Chen instructed.

Huang Wei quickly nodded and replied, "Okay! I'll get right on it!"

All the technical parameters and processes are clearly listed, making it very easy for professional R&D personnel to understand them thoroughly.

A week later, the first batch of 100 samples came out.

Yang Chen tried it out himself, and the function was indeed powerful. Wearing these glasses, he could read books written in any language without any difficulty.

Huang Wei said with a smile, "Chairman Yang, this thing is great! In the future, when I talk business with foreigners, I won't need to bring a translator anymore. I can communicate directly by wearing this."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "That's right. It's not just people who are good at foreign languages ​​who can do foreign trade; even people who haven't gone to school can wear it and do business face-to-face with foreign clients. Have you calculated the costs yet?"

Huang Wei nodded and said, "Based on the sales of 100 million sets, our cost is about 1280 yuan. This does not include the cost of research and development and subsequent software maintenance and upgrades."

"What's the price range for similar products on the market?" Yang Chen asked.

Huang Wei replied, "The iTour Dear Translator product is priced at 7800 yuan, and Google also has a similar product priced at 9000-12000 yuan. It seems that the functions of other brands cannot compare with ours, so there is no need to consider them."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay! Then we'll price it at 1999 yuan per set. However, before we officially launch it, let's do some advertising for Google and Translator's products."

Huang Wei was puzzled. Shouldn't they be advertising their own products? Why were they advertising their competitors' products?
"Chairman Yang, forgive my ignorance, but I don't quite understand your line of thinking," Huang Wei said.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, "When consumers know that top-quality translation glasses cost nearly 10,000 yuan, and we suddenly launch a similar product with even more powerful functions but only 1999 yuan, do you think they will think our product is a steal? First, raise consumers' expectations, and then use an unexpected price to completely arouse their desire to buy."

Huang Wei suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I get it. It's like how many car companies advertise high prices before launching a new car, but the actual price is tens of thousands of yuan cheaper, so consumers will think the car is cheap. I know what to do now. I'm going to get back to work, bye."

Soon, platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and Hongshu suddenly began to widely promote real-time translation glasses from brands like Translator and Google.

Previously, some travel bloggers' hands-on videos didn't get much traffic, but now they've suddenly become popular, with likes and shares exceeding 10,000 and comments increasing by hundreds or thousands each.

"Great! Foreign language professionals can lose their jobs, and foreign language colleges in universities can be abolished. In the future, ordinary people can do foreign trade, and they won't need to be good at foreign languages."

"My goodness, the cheapest ones cost 7800 yuan, and the expensive ones cost 12,000 yuan. I really can't bear to buy them. If they can be sold for a little over 1,000 yuan, I plan to buy a set to teach my child a foreign language."

"@DamiLuoJun, Mr. Luo, could we use the Dami Translation Eyes? 1999 to make friends?"

"Don't worry, once this product really becomes popular, Huaqiangbei will drive down the price in no time."

……

At this moment, the translator is providing real-time translations for the Glasses headquarters.

The secretary is reporting to Chairman Guo Haiming.

"Chairman Guo, our product has suddenly become a hit! It's trending on Weibo, Douyin, Red Book, and other major platforms!" the secretary said excitedly.

Guo Haiming said even more excitedly, "Really? How did it suddenly become so popular? Did the marketing department invest in it?"

Just as the secretary was about to speak, Chen Tao, the marketing manager, happily ran in.

"Mr. Guo, our real-time translation glasses are a hit! Haha... We've finally waited for this day, and soon we'll be able to make a fortune," Chen Tao said happily.

Guo Haiming asked, "Have you joined the flow?"

Chen Tao quickly replied, "No! If I had become famous through online streaming, I wouldn't be so excited. It really became popular naturally."

Guo Haiming excitedly slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Haha...haha...we've finally waited for this day, we've succeeded! We must seize this opportunity and launch a promotion both online and offline."

Chen Tao nodded excitedly and quickly got to work.

Across the ocean, at Google headquarters.

Marketing Manager Terry visited President Page at the hospital and excitedly told him, "Mr. President, I have great news for you. Our real-time translation glasses have become a hit on the Chinese internet and are trending on major platforms. Let's seize this opportunity for a promotion and completely penetrate the Chinese market in one fell swoop. What do you think?"

Ever since Yang Chen made him faint, Peiqi has been receiving treatment in the hospital. This is the best news he has heard since he was hospitalized.

"Hehehe...Great, we'll do it your way. That damn Yang Chen, he can't stop us from making money this time, can he?" Paige said smugly. Terry quickly returned to the company and did as Paige said, informing the Dragon Country region to launch a 8% discount promotion.

Both the translator and Google were full of confidence and had prepared a lot of goods to make a fortune, but after a few days, the sales of the products did not increase significantly, and they still sold only a few dozen a day as usual.

Both companies are baffled. What happened?
It's so popular, why aren't sales increasing?
What the hell do we do with all this stock?
With the timing seemingly right, Sihai Intelligent officially announced its new product.

"We are delighted to share some great news with you all. Thanks to the efforts of Chairman Yang and the R&D team, Sihai Intelligent will be launching a powerful yet affordable real-time translation glasses and watch set. This set supports all languages ​​worldwide, including various dialects within China. With this set, you'll have no communication barriers unless you encounter aliens. As you all know, Chairman Yang and the Sihai Group are committed to providing consumers with the highest quality, most technologically advanced, and most affordable products. Unlike products on the market that often cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, our product is available at a special price of only 1999 yuan. Detailed product information and a demonstration video are attached; interested parties can click to watch."

Yang Chen's account then reposted the announcement and added a comment.

"Technological progress should benefit mankind; let's make friends in 1999."

At the same time, the real-time translation glasses of Translator and Google were suddenly restricted, and many videos were removed from platforms such as Weibo, Red Book, and Douyin.

Soon, netizens flocked to Yang Chen's account to leave comments.

"Holy crap, did Mr. Yang see my comment? I @Luo Jun asked Da Mi to produce a real-time translation glasses, with a 'friendship price' of 1999 yuan, and you actually launched it for 1999 yuan?"

"Haha... Translator and Google's real-time translation glasses have been restricted and taken down. I'm starting to smell a conspiracy here. Weibo, Red Book, and Douyin are all platforms owned by Boss Yang. It was precisely these three platforms that made Google and Translator's real-time translation glasses popular, letting everyone know that this product costs nearly 10,000 yuan. Now Sihai is only selling it for 1999 yuan. You tell me if that's cheap or not."

"Boss Yang, which of the 36 stratagems did you use? The translator and Gu Gou were all over the place offering discounts and promotions, and I heard they even stocked up on a lot of goods. Now they're all stuck with it. You're so wicked! But for the sake of 1999, I'll fully support you. I'll definitely buy a set whenever it's released."

……

Upon realizing he had fallen into a trap, Guo Haiming, the chairman of the translator company, was furious, smashing and cursing. How could there be someone like Yang Chen in the world? His business tactics were too unexpected.

"That's despicable! That's so unethical! Who would have thought someone would engage in business warfare like this! Damn it, that's utterly shameless!" Guo Haiming said angrily.

Marketing Manager Chen Tao asked cautiously, "Then... what should we do now? We've stocked up on so much inventory, and with Sihai Glasses' low prices impacting the market, when will we be able to sell it all?"

Guo Haiming was so angry that tears welled up in his eyes. He replied irritably, "What else can I do? Clear out the stock, change careers! Damn it, I can't compete with him!"

Meanwhile, across the ocean, Google CEO Page also received the news that the reason Google's real-time translation glasses became popular on Chinese online platforms was entirely due to Yang Chen's manipulation of his shareholdings. His purpose was to use Google's real-time translation glasses, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, to highlight the Sihai real-time translation glasses, which only cost 1999 yuan.

Paige had been very confident that Yang Chen wouldn't be able to stop them from making money in China, but she was proven wrong.

Peppa, who was almost recovered, fainted again because she couldn't catch her breath.

"Doctor! Doctor! Help! Help!"

Page's family members screamed hysterically.

After some first aid, Peppa bravely pulled through again.

“Fuck... Damn Yang Chen, I’ll never forgive him!” Page said angrily.

Page got his wife's phone and immediately called Reventon, the head of the Department of Commerce.

"I demand that you find a way to get TikTok Group to sell it to us, immediately!" Page said through gritted teeth.

Reventon immediately replied, "That's unlikely. Why would they be willing to sell?"

“I don’t care about all that, you have to find a way to get them to sell! Otherwise, I’m voting for the Republicans!” Page replied, and immediately hung up the phone.

This is a big deal. The fact that Google CEO Paige votes for the Republican Party is not just a matter of one vote. The forces behind Paige, as well as the people who like him and Google, will be swayed by him to vote for the Republican Party.

Raventon didn't dare delay and quickly reported Page's request to the higher-ups.

After some preparation, the WTO special investigation team, led by the United States, finally arrived in Jiangcheng, the capital of China.

The three platforms, Douyin, Hongshu, and TikTok, tracked the movements of the special investigation team throughout the live broadcast.

Yang Chen, breaking with his usual practice, personally hosted them and took them to visit the Sihai Mobile phone production line, dormitories, canteen, etc. in Zone 1 of the Sihai Industrial Park.

Foreign viewers watching the live stream on TikTok were excitedly exchanging comments.

"This is the production base of Sihai Mobile? It's so big!"

"Their working environment is amazing. Their dorms are so beautiful, cleaner and prettier than the apartment I rent for 1000 Eagle Dollars."

"I can't take it anymore. Is this their cafeteria? The food is so plentiful! There must be dozens of dishes. I eat bread, lettuce, and cereal every day. I'm a senior trader on Wall Street, and I'm not even as well off as their ordinary workers."

"This is definitely fake. It must be a vanity project they put on to pass inspections. The Chinese are masters of this."

"I just don't believe that workers in China can live such a good life. This must be fake."

……

The WTO investigation team also did not believe everything they saw. They demanded that Yang Chen provide evidence to prove that these were routine matters, and not just a facade project to appease them.

Yang Chen looked at Chen Lan, the president of Sihai Electronics. Chen Lan immediately led everyone to check the workers' attendance records and the surveillance footage of the workshop over the past six months. The investigation team could choose to check the surveillance footage of any day.

Surely the surveillance footage from the past six months can't be faked?
When they saw that the surveillance footage from the past six months was almost identical to what they had just seen, they fell silent.

They had a meeting before coming here, and they unanimously agreed that Sihai must have the common problems that exist in Chinese enterprises, such as serious overtime work for workers, poor working and living conditions, and low wages.

But now that the facts and surveillance footage are right in front of them, they don't know what to say.

At this moment, the chat in the TikTok live stream is filled with comments.

“I really can’t accept this fact. A factory in a developing country has better working and living conditions than us. The workers strictly adhere to the 5-day, 8-hour work system, and the food they eat daily is more abundant than the best I’ve ever eaten in my life. Fuck! I can’t accept this fact.”

"Merciful God, tell me this isn't true! How could this possibly be true? Fuck! The media is spreading rumors and smearing China every day, portraying us as a feudal, backward, and ignorant country. Today we finally see what the real China is like. Even ordinary factory workers live so well, aren't the rest of us living even better?"

"What I can't stand the most is that they actually allocate housing to married employees, and I have to pay 1000 eagle dollars in rent every month. I can't accept it, I really can't accept it."

"Haha... I told you long ago that what you see would shatter your understanding, and that you would feel sorry for yourselves. See? I told you so! A bunch of frogs in a well, they have no idea what the outside world is like. I suggest you go and see China; its development is beyond your imagination."

Clearly, this live stream has been very detrimental to foreigners. Their media has been reporting a false image of China to them, and now that they see how well a factory in China is doing, with workers living more comfortably than their high-level white-collar workers, they are starting to feel defensive.

The live stream could no longer continue. The US's internet department, business department, and even the court successively called TikTok, demanding that the live stream be terminated immediately.

TikTok CEO Zhou Yuncheng gave a clear answer: the live stream was arranged by the WTO investigation team and Mr. Yang Chen, and the live stream cannot be stopped as long as the WTO investigation team continues.

A hysterical old man's voice immediately came from the president's office.

"Fuck! Fuck! I want them to sell TikTok to us, they have to sell it! I won't allow a public opinion platform that's not under our control to exist in our country! Take action now, we have to take it by force! Fuck!"
