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

Chapter 215 Shocks the World, Global Orders for Sihai Intelligent Equipment

Yang Chen was enjoying a massage from Zhang Li and others when Hussein called him.

“Mr. Yang, thank you for your help. This operation was absolutely brilliant; it truly broadened our horizons. After discussing it, we've decided to leave all the equipment your team brought. Please name your price, Mr. Yang,” Hussein said.

The Baba Yang and the Indians are at odds. If they can seize this opportunity to acquire these weapons, they can crush the Indians on the border in the future.

They didn't have the budget to buy equipment before, but now that they've reclaimed Pashtun Province, which is rich in minerals, they can just give Yang Chen a few more gold mine mining rights.

He certainly couldn't miss out on business opportunities, but the signal jamming vehicle that Guo Hu and his team brought this time was lent to Yang Chen by the military, and he dared not make the decision to give it to Hussein.

However, to achieve this kind of devastating effect, blocking the enemy's signals is a necessary operation, so the signal vehicle still needs to be sold to Baba Sheep.

“General Hussein, it’s not that I don’t want to make money. It’s just that the signal vehicle we brought this time was lent to us by the military, and I can’t make that decision myself,” Yang Chen said.

Hussein laughed and said, "That's easy. With our friendly relations with China, this is no problem. I'll contact your military now. You just need to decide what price to ask for. I'll hang up now and call you back later."

Hussein immediately hung up the phone and contacted the Chinese side through a high-level connection, making their request and hoping that the Chinese side could grant their request.

About half an hour later, Yang Chen received a call from the military, agreeing to let him sell all the equipment to Pakistan. The signal vehicle would be considered a gift from the military to Yang Chen, and he could decide what price to ask Pakistan for.

Not long after, Hussein called Yang Chen again.

"Mr. Yang, how is it? Has your military told you?" Hussein asked.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Yes, I did."

Hussein smiled and said, "That's good. What price would you like, Mr. Yang? We'll still pay with the minerals."

“We’ll add seven more gold mines, making a total of ten gold mines with five-year mining rights. The technical personnel we’re bringing will decide which ten mines to choose,” Yang Chen replied.

Hussein didn't even hesitate, immediately replying, "No problem! We accept Mr. Yang's price. The equipment belongs to us from now on. We'll need Mr. Yang's team to stay a few more days to teach our technicians how to operate it before returning home. During this time, we will provide them with the highest level of security, so Mr. Yang can rest assured. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Okay, in addition to our excellent product quality, our after-sales service is also absolutely top-notch."

Hussein laughed heartily and said, "I believe Mr. Yang. I'll hang up now, and contact you again if needed."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen sent a message to Guo Hu.

"Ah Hu, let them choose 10 gold mines. Give all the equipment we brought to Baba Sheep and teach their technicians how to operate them."

Having 10 gold mines all at once isn't enough; someone has to go and mine and refine them.

Since battery manufacturing also requires lithium mines, Yang Chen decided to buy a mining company with some strength.

They still have nearly a trillion yuan in cash on hand; it's a waste to just leave it lying in a bank account.

Yang Chen sent a message to Chen Lan, the president of Sihai Investment.

"Xiao Lan, find a mining company with a certain level of strength, one that must have the capability for overseas mining. It doesn't matter if it's listed or not."

Domestic companies with even a little strength will think about going public to raise money. Yang Chen wants a strong mining company, so he can only look for one among listed companies.

After careful selection, Yang Chen chose Jiangnan Mining Group.

With a total share capital of 45 billion shares and a current share price of 4.5 Dragon Coins, Chairman Li Changxiu is the largest shareholder, holding 40% of the shares personally, while his family members and other parties acting in concert hold a total of 30%. This means that Li Changxiu personally owns 70% of the voting rights.

If we can persuade Li Changxiu to sell his shares, the deal will be done.

Yang Chen doesn't have much of anything, except cash.

"Chairman Li, I want your company. I'd like to acquire all the shares at 6 yuan per share. Are you interested?" Yang Chen asked bluntly.

Li Changxiu said with a smile, "Is Chairman Yang serious?"

"Haha...why would I joke like that with you? If you're willing, I'll pay the full amount to acquire all the shares from the shareholders in one go, and then delist the company and make it my wholly-owned private company," Yang Chen replied.

Li Changxiu immediately became serious. 80% of the bosses of listed companies in China are not serious about running a business. They go public just to find an opportunity to cash out and leave.

Now that the opportunity to cash out and leave has been presented to him, Li Changxiu naturally won't miss it.

However, he was not satisfied with the price of 6 Dragon Coins per share, because the company's stock price was hovering around 10 yuan last month, and he felt that at least 10 yuan per share would be appropriate.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Chairman Li, don't be too greedy. The price I'm offering you is already very favorable. If I short-sell the company and delist it first, and then come back to talk to you, you won't even get one share for 1 Dragon Coin. Don't you agree?"

If anyone else said this, it would just be empty talk, but when Yang Chen said it, it was the truth.

Everyone knows Yang Chen's trading skills now; whether shorting or going long, he has never made a mistake.

After a moment of silence, Li Changxiu said, "Since Chairman Yang has said so, it would seem presumptuous of me to refuse. Alright, 6 Dragon Coins per share it is. Wait for my news, and I'll go through the necessary procedures."

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Yes. It's a pleasure working with you. I'll wait for your reply."

Although Li Changxiu has 70% of the voting rights, there are still many procedures to go through before a listed company can be acquired and privatized. It's not something that can be done simply by Yang Chen and Li Changxiu agreeing on the terms.

The stock market closed in the afternoon.

Jiangnan Mining issued an announcement.

"Our company has received notification from Mr. Yang Chen that he has launched a takeover bid for all shareholders at a price of 6 Dragon Coins per share. Mr. Li Changxiu, the company's chairman and major shareholder, has requested a shareholders' meeting to be held at 3:00 PM on July 8th. To avoid excessive stock price fluctuations, our company's stock will be suspended from trading starting today..."

Yang Chen then posted a Weibo update.

"I just acquired the mining rights to 10 gold mines, and to minimize battery costs, I plan to mine lithium mines myself, so I need to buy a reputable mining company. I've my eye on Jiangnan Mining and hope to secure the deal smoothly. I will work as soon as possible to bring the price of solid-state batteries down to the current level of lithium batteries, so that all brands can use affordable and high-quality solid-state batteries. I firmly believe that technological progress should bring tangible benefits to the people, and I will ensure that solid-state batteries are not just for high-end vehicles; even cars in the 10 RMB price range can be equipped with them."

Tens of thousands of comments appeared quickly.

"Mr. Yang is really straightforward and blunt in his approach. He buys whichever company he likes and needs. It proves that money can solve everything. If it doesn't, it must be because you don't have enough money."

“This is what a true entrepreneur should do. He could have made more money for himself, but he didn’t. He wanted to build his own battery swapping stations and control every aspect to reduce costs so that other car companies could use affordable solid-state batteries. I never imagined there could be such a great and selfless person in the world before, but now I have complete faith in Mr. Yang.”

"Other companies sell their products at high prices domestically, but the quality is poor. They sell them cheaply abroad, but the quality is high. Mr. Yang is different from them. He harvests wealth from abroad to subsidize the domestic market. This is a true people's entrepreneur!"

……

It has been proven that when businesses prioritize consumers, consumers will respect the businesses and their owners.

Not long after this Weibo post was published, Yang Chen's Weibo followers exceeded 100 million.

Many celebrities and marketing accounts have a lot of followers, but most of them are bought and inactive followers.

Yang Chen didn't buy a single follower; all of these were genuine user followers.

It is no exaggeration to say that the advertising effect of one of Yang Chen's Weibo posts is equivalent to the advertising effect of hundreds of millions of yuan in advertising fees.

In an era where the fan economy is booming, personal branding is extremely important.

Yang Chen has already taken the first step. Now it depends on the attitude of other car companies and government agencies. If they do not respond quickly and join Yang Chen's battery swapping alliance, Yang Chen will not care about their fate.

It was already late in China, but it was still daytime in the United States and Europe.

The video of 200 people from Sihai Security Company wiping out 25000 people has gone viral on the internet, and foreigners are once again in a state of shock.

This is how a netizen from the Bald Eagle, named Chris Wade, commented.

"Our media always reports that China is backward, with many people starving and even eating tree bark, while constantly promoting the US as the most powerful and developed country in the world. Through Yang Chen's live broadcast of the WTO investigation into the Sihai Group and Sihai Security's 200-strong force that wiped out 25000 Pashtuns, I realized what the real China is like. The current China is completely out of step with us, not even on the same level of civilization. Compared to them, we are practically a primitive society. It is unwise to be an adversary to such a country. I hope our politicians won't joke about the lives of hundreds of millions of people." A netizen from Japan, Sakata Nikawa, commented: "You can't imagine how I feel right now. I can honestly tell you that my heart was pounding the whole time I watched the live stream today. I was thinking, if they use this equipment against us, how long can we hold out? We didn't see a single person the whole time, and they just wiped out all the targets with this smart equipment. It's really terrifying. Is it too late for us to kneel down and apologize? I'm not kidding, I really want to kneel down and apologize. I hope the people of China can be humanitarian and show mercy to those who are willing to kneel down and apologize. As for those who are not willing to kneel down and apologize, you can do whatever you want with them. Please don't be so indiscriminate."

This is how a Korean named Kim Jae-seok commented.

"It's alright, everyone don't need to be afraid. I firmly believe that the United States is the most developed country in the world. If a private company can have such equipment, the United States must have even better equipment. If you are afraid, you can buy our most powerful fifth-generation fighter jet, the KF-21, or Asia's most powerful warship, the Sejong the Great. They can definitely deal with those toys produced by the Sihai Group."

The Indians were the most vulnerable.

"It's unfair for them to use this equipment. I strongly recommend that the United Nations ban its use in the military. Also, Yang Chen, you can do whatever you want, but you can't sell that equipment to the Barbarians, or we'll switch sides to the United States. I'm not kidding."

The happiest of all was the Baba sheep.

"Haha... Thank you, Yang Chen, thank you, Dragon Kingdom. This is the benefit of following the right big brother. I heard that we have already bought all the equipment brought by Sihai Security. With this equipment, we can control the Indians. Little Indians, you better behave yourselves from now on, otherwise we don't mind letting you receive the care of a higher-dimensional civilization."

There was also widespread lamentation in Europe, with everyone clamoring to maintain good relations with China and Yang Chen.

Having witnessed the power of unmanned equipment, countries around the world are moving in this direction. Countries with the capability to manufacture it quickly start their own projects, while those without the capability try to raise money to purchase it from the Sihai Group.

We must have what others have. Even if we release our equipment and both sides destroy each other, it's better than our soldiers being mercilessly crushed.

India lacks production capacity, but urgently needs equivalent equipment to defend against Pakistan. Therefore, they proactively contacted the Chinese government to seek opportunities to purchase equipment. As long as China agrees, they are willing to make concessions on some core issues.

The problem that had plagued both sides for decades was unexpectedly solved by Yang Chen.

Boston Dynamics and other overseas OEM companies have placed new orders with Sihai Intelligent, with an additional 100 million drones and over 50 robot dogs, as well as robot wolves, robot tigers, and bionic equipment. Based on Sihai Intelligent's current production capacity, the orders they have already received are estimated to take two years to complete.

As it turns out, Yang Chen's live-streaming sales event was very successful, and he will definitely do it again if he has the opportunity.

These past few days, Yang Chen has been receiving treatment from Zhang Li, and he feels much better.

"Xiaoli, how about it? Can I sleep with girls now?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhang Li rolled her eyes and said, "Do you really like this kind of thing that much? Are you going to die of impatience if you don't do it?"

Yang Chen immediately retorted, "Look at what you're saying. If a young man in his twenties isn't interested in this kind of thing, then isn't he a waste? What's the point of me making so much money if I can't sleep with girls?"

Zhang Li: "..."

So blunt, it's speechless.

Zhang Li packed up her tools, seemingly with disdain, and said, "You're already in top form. But you still need to take it easy. You don't know the value of sex when you're young, and you'll regret it when you're old. Humph!"

Yang Chen immediately pointed at Zhang Li and said, "You've gone too far! How can you say that? If I really end up shedding tears in vain, it's your fault. You're my personal doctor now, and I'm in your care for my health."

Zhang Li immediately said, "Even capitalists would cry if they heard this. I have to be responsible for your safety and your health, you..."

Yang Chen immediately interrupted, "Add another 3 to the monthly salary!"

Zhang Li immediately changed to a fawning expression, smiling and bowing as she said, "Thank you for your care, Chairman Yang. From now on, I'll take care of your health and make sure you can still sleep with girls when you're 80."

"Haha..." Yang Chen laughed loudly, thinking that if he still had such abilities when he was 80 years old, his life would not have been in vain.

Early in the morning, Yang Chen received a call from Li Changxiu, chairman of Jiangnan Mining, as soon as he arrived at the company.

"Haha... Chairman Yang, it's all settled. The company is now yours," Li Changxiu said with a smile.

Yang Chen said with satisfaction, "Then thank you very much, Chairman Li. You will continue to manage the company for the time being. If you decide to leave in the future, I will find someone else to take your place."

Li Changxiu said excitedly, "Oh, thank you so much for your trust, Chairman Yang. Don't worry, I will still manage and operate the company as if it were my own, and I will definitely not let you down."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "That's for the best. You should have heard my story. Honest and law-abiding people will receive all kinds of rewards, and those who dare to disobey me or even betray me will never have a good ending. I can accept your refusal, but I don't want to take action against you in the future."

Li Changxiu quickly assured him, "Chairman Yang can trust me completely. Even if you gave me ten thousand lives, I wouldn't dare betray you. I'm still hoping to create something brilliant by following you."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Well, you'd better think that way. That's settled then. My secretary will send you the paper instructions later, and you can just follow them."

Ten gold mines have been selected in Baba Yang's area, but Yang Chen hasn't finalized the decision yet. He suggests that Jiangnan Mining send a professional team to conduct another selection.

Around 12 o'clock, Zhou Xingxing brought Zhang Yuanying and Yang Min to Yang Chen's office.

The post-production of "The Mermaid" has been completed, and the film is currently undergoing intensive promotional roadshows.

There's an event at Jiangcheng Sihai City Square this afternoon, and the three of them took advantage of their lunch break to come over and say hello to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "You've worked hard, but it's all worth it. I guarantee this movie will gross no less than 30 billion."

Zhang Yuanying clasped her hands together under her right cheek and said in a very cute and innocent way, "If the box office really exceeds 30 billion, I must treat Chairman Yang to dinner to express my gratitude. I finally have a representative work! Hehe..."

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Then let's have dinner together tonight. Director Zhou, Minmin, are you free tonight?"

Stephen Chow replied with a smile, "Thank you, Chairman Yang. I have a program to record tonight. I'll invite you to dinner after I'm done with this."

Yang Min said, "I don't have time either. I have to rush to Hengdian to film another movie after my event this afternoon."

Zhang Yuanying quickly said, "It's alright, Director Zhou and Sister Min, go ahead and get busy. I'll have dinner with Chairman Yang."

After chatting for a while, Stephen Chow left with Yang Min and Zhang Yuanying.

In the evening, Yang Chen took Zhang Yuanying to the Binjiang Hotel for dinner.

With the real-time translation glasses, communication between Yang Chen and Zhang Yuanying became effortless.

After downing two bottles of red wine, Zhang Yuanying's cheeks were flushed red.

Zhang Yuanying, holding a wine glass, stood up unsteadily and said with a smile, "If it weren't for Chairman Yang, I don't know how miserable my life would be in South Korea right now. My former colleagues weren't as lucky as me; they've been changed hands by the chaebols several times. Chairman Yang, this is a toast to you. After you finish this drink, you'll have to accept that I'll always be yours, and you can never go back on your word."

The atmosphere was perfect, and the girl was deeply in love. If Yang Chen didn't drink this glass of wine, he would seem to lack romantic understanding.

Yang Chen smiled, raised his glass to clink with Zhang Yuanying's, and then the two of them drank it all in one gulp.

Zhang Yuanying put down her wine glass, walked over and locked the door of the private room, turned off the lights, and then staggered into Yang Chen's arms.

She wrapped her arms around Yang Chen's neck, her breath reeking of alcohol, and whispered, "Chairman Yang, you want me..."

After taking care of my body for more than half a month, when is the time to stop now?
Just as Yang Chen was exerting himself on Zhang Yuanying, the United Nations headquarters in New York held another meeting on the other side of the ocean.

The main topic of this meeting was "prohibiting the unrestricted proliferation of intelligent equipment," which was undoubtedly proposed by Yingzi, with the aim of restricting Sihai Intelligent's sales to foreign entities.

"Now let's vote on whether to pass this resolution."

Representatives from various countries pressed the "agree" button, and finally the representative from China pressed the "disagree" button.

"The Dragon Kingdom casts a veto; according to the veto power, this proposal will not pass!"

The bald eagle representative immediately questioned, "Are you kidding me? Why are you opposing such a good thing?"

The Dragon Kingdom representative replied, "Why should we explain to you how we do things? If you have the guts, then remove the veto power. Do you dare?"

Bald Eagle representative: "..."
