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

Chapter 217 System Rewards: Graphics Card, CPU, Pangu AI
After hearing Tusk's words, the representatives from various countries imagined the terrifying scenario of being bitten by a mosquito while sleeping and never waking up again, and their eyes instantly became much clearer.

The Spanish representative immediately said, "I suddenly feel that it's a good thing to let Yang Chen develop new energy vehicles in Europe. Not only can our citizens enjoy a better driving experience, but it can also reduce pollution. In the future, when humanity conquers controlled nuclear fusion technology, electricity will become worthless, and this will be the best mode of transportation. I agree to let Yang Chen build battery swapping stations in Europe, and we should also help him build them as soon as possible, and help him promote new energy vehicles, so that he can come here to invest and build a factory as soon as possible."

The Italian representative echoed, "I agree with the Spanish representative's view. Electric propulsion is currently the best way to supply energy, and we should keep up with the times. Moreover, we can learn from China's experience over the past 40 years and use our market to acquire their new energy vehicle technology. If China can succeed, why can't we?"

Apart from Germany, which has automakers such as BMW and Volkswagen, and France, which has automakers such as Peugeot and Citroën, other countries have basically expressed their agreement to Yang Chen's plan to build battery swapping stations in Europe.

However, the representatives from Germany and France emphasized that they would return home to discuss the matter thoroughly and communicate with everyone once they had a result.

Other representatives also need to go home to consult and discuss before they can give an official response.

Tusk then gave everyone three days, after which a formal EU meeting would be held to vote on whether Yang Chen should be allowed to build battery swapping stations in Europe.

Just as Tusk was discussing with representatives from various countries, Yang Chen received a system reward for refusing Tusk's demand for the 500 billion euro loan from Sihai Investment.

The system rewarded Yang Chen with a brand-new cancer treatment technology, and Yang Chen is currently looking at the information with a shocked expression.

Why the shock?

The treatment method rewarded by the system is so unique that it uses a virus called NDV-GT to infect cancer cells. The infected cancer cells will generate pig cell markers, at which point the human immune system will detect the cancer cells disguised as pig cells and activate the body's protective mechanism to engulf and destroy these cancer cells.

If it weren't for the system's reward method, Yang Chen wouldn't have believed it.

The profits of industries like oil, natural gas, automobiles, and electronics pale in comparison to the profits from curing cancer.

It's no exaggeration to say that if an oil tycoon got cancer and Yang Chen said he could cure it, but asked for half of his fortune, he would accept without hesitation.

After all, a fortune of hundreds of millions only has meaning when the person is alive. Once a person dies, no matter how much money or power one has, it all becomes meaningless.

Yang Chen quickly organized the information and then called Bai Zhi, the president of Sihai Medical Group, over.

As soon as Bai Zhi entered the office, she locked the door from the inside, then ran over and drew all the curtains. Then, she ran into Yang Chen's arms with a grin.

"Hehe... Why are you looking for me? Let me guess, you must miss me and want to care for me, right? That must be the case. If you dare to say otherwise, you are finished. I will beat you!" Bai Zhi said, clenching her fist and shaking it in front of Yang Chen's eyes.

Yang Chen's hand slid inside Bai Zhi's collar, and he said with a smile, "Stop fooling around, Zhang Li is helping me recover. I have a new technology here, you take it and let the medical research team thoroughly understand it, and announce the restart of the hospital's operations. The hospital next to Sihai City Walled City will be purchased by Sihai Medical and transformed into Sihai Hospital. I'll call Wang Wenkang later and tell him, you can directly coordinate the follow-up work with him."

Bai Zhi nodded, took the USB drive, and put it in her pocket. Then, with a charming smile, she asked, "My period is coming in the next couple of days. Are you sure you don't want to show me some love?"

Seeing Bai Zhi's eager expression, Yang Chen felt embarrassed to refuse and could only grant her wish.

More than an hour later, Bai Zhi left Yang Chen's office with a rosy complexion.

To be honest, Zhang Li is quite capable; Yang Chen's erection was noticeably stronger after the treatment.

Yang Chen called Wang Wenkang and got straight to the point: "I want Sihai Medical to buy the hospital next to Sihai City Walled City, and also sell the vacant land behind the hospital to Sihai Medical for expansion."

Wang Wenkang said with a smile, "You're going to restart your hospital business?"

“Yes, over the past year or so we have recruited and trained a group of reliable medical personnel, and Sihai Pharmaceutical has also gotten on track. It’s time to connect medicine and pharmaceuticals,” Yang Chen replied.

From now on, all medicines used in Sihai Hospital will be produced by Sihai Pharmaceutical, which can significantly reduce medical expenses, reduce the burden of medical treatment for ordinary people, and, more broadly, reduce the burden on the national medical insurance system.

Wang Wenkang laughed heartily and said, "Okay, find someone to liaise with me and get it done as soon as possible."

Three days later, the West District of the First People's Hospital next to Sihai City was transformed into Sihai Hospital. The medical staff there decided to stay or leave on a voluntary basis, and the medical personnel trained by Sihai Medical officially moved into Sihai Hospital.

At the same time, the expansion of Sihai Hospital also began.

Several construction teams started work simultaneously to strive for the fastest possible delivery and use.

At this time, news also came from the EU.

After heated debate and discussion, the EU ultimately passed the proposal for Xingchen Motors to establish battery swapping stations in EU countries with 18 votes in favor, 7 against, 2 abstentions, and Angry Sky's approval.

The EU will pass this bill, and other European countries will not object. Other countries do not have an automotive industry, so it doesn't matter who makes money for them. Why not build a few battery swapping stations in their own countries to increase employment and income?

However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed. The EU has sent invitations to other European countries, hoping that they will join the Xingchen Automotive Battery Swapping Alliance.

All countries responded positively, and the entire European battery swapping market is now settled.

But then, the troublemaker arrived.

Bald Eagle's Commerce Department representative, Reventon, called EU President Tusk, and his first words were threats.

"Mr. Tusk, have you Europeans gone mad, or do you need to be taught a lesson? How could you agree to something like this? Why didn't you consult us beforehand? Do you think we, the Bald Eagle, are unqualified or incapable?"

That's just how the US behaves; Tusk is used to it.

Tusk quickly explained, "We can't refuse either. Didn't you see Yang Chen's live stream of 200 people wiping out 25000? We don't want to get bitten by a mosquito in our sleep and never wake up again. Unless you have the ability to make Yang Chen cancel his plan to build battery swapping stations in Europe, no matter how much you threaten us, it won't work."

Reventon said irritably, "If I had that ability, would I have just watched him develop to this point? I would have shut him down long ago! I don't care about all that, you just can't allow him to develop new energy vehicles in Europe."

Tusk retorted irritably, "I don't care about that either. Either you kill me, or you make him cancel the plan. There's no other way. You all can't handle him, so what can we do? At least he helped us when we needed him, while you only think about reaping our own benefits. Hang up now, and don't call again with such childish talk. You're supposed to be the head of the Ministry of Commerce; think more maturely."

Tusk angrily hung up the phone and then launched into a tirade against Reventon over the phone.

"Fuck! You idiots, all you do is bully others! You can't even handle Yang Chen, and you expect us to go and fight him? What are you thinking, you son of a bitch?"

Meanwhile, Reventon quickly reported to his superiors, asking them to put pressure on Europe.

In the evening, Yang Chen received a call from Tusk.

“Mr. Yang, it’s like this, everything is settled in Europe, everyone agrees to let you build the battery swapping station. But the U.S. disagrees and is forcing us to prohibit you from building the station. We don’t dare offend either side, can you help us think of a way to deal with this?” Tusk said.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Are you trying to use me to help you get rid of the long-standing threat and control that the Bald Eagle has placed on you?"

Tusk chuckled awkwardly, then replied, “If Europe can achieve full strategic autonomy, we have a vast market, and our relationship with China has always been excellent. This would be good for China as well. At the very least, it would be easier for Chinese companies to invest in Europe, and Chinese goods could be sold more effectively in the European market. We wouldn’t have to follow the bald eagle in imposing tariffs and other sanctions on you anymore. It’s a win-win situation for both of us, isn’t it?”

While the EU may indeed be suspected of using Yang Chen to help them break free from the shackles of the US, if Europe could truly achieve strategic autonomy, it would indeed be a great thing for China. Given the current technological and industrial strengths of both Europe and China, China is fully capable of achieving comprehensive leadership. Even if it might not be able to match Europe in a few high-end areas, it could easily replace them with cheaper, lower-end products.

If a country's citizens want to enjoy high welfare, they must export high-value-added industrial products to the world like crazy, relying on agricultural products and clothing manufacturing to always work overtime just to make a living.

As long as China's industrial products can dominate the European market, the good days for the Chinese people will begin.

To achieve this, the first step is to separate Europe from the United States. Defeating them one by one is obviously easier than binding them together. Whether Europe is bound to the United States passively or actively, we should first untie them.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "This is easy. Just pick a few investment banks from EU countries and wait for my news."

Tusk immediately replied happily, "No problem! I'll hang up now, and we'll wait for Mr. Yang's good news."

Yang Chen had just hung up the phone when Bai Zhi rushed in.

"Chairman Yang, Harvard Medical School and Brian Hospital know that Sihai Hospital has restarted and called to demand that we repay our debts. I said I couldn't make that decision, so they said they wanted to talk to you. If you don't want to talk to them, they'll fly to Sihai Group tomorrow to find you," Bai Zhi reported.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, you bring them into the video conference room, and I'll talk to them."

Bai Zhi nodded and quickly went to do it.

About half an hour later, Yang Chen met with representatives of the two creditors via video conference.

In order to expand and strengthen Sihai Hospital, Wang Sihai brought together Harvard Medical School and Blaine's Private Hospital, with Harvard Medical School providing research results and medical personnel, and Blaine's Private Hospital providing the medical team.

Wang Sihai originally wanted to exchange equity for the technology and talent of these two companies, but they were not willing to accept equity and only wanted money, so Wang Sihai had no choice but to settle the matter with them in cash.

Sometimes you have to admire Wang Sihai; he really dares to prey on anyone.

After the three parties signed the cooperation agreement, Harvard Medical School and Blaine Hospital provided technical and personnel support in accordance with the contract. However, Sihai Group did not pay them a single penny and always made various excuses to delay. Even after Sihai Group ran into trouble five years later, neither of the two organizations received a single penny.

Chris, a representative from Harvard Medical School, said, "Mr. Yang, when we asked you for money before, you said you were closing down the hospital and didn't have the money to pay us temporarily. Now that you've restarted the hospital operations and even bought land for expansion, don't tell me you don't have the money to settle the accounts with us. That's going too far!"

Brian, the director of Brian Hospital, followed up, "That's right! We provided support to Sihai Hospital for five years for free, and then another three years passed, making it a full eight years without receiving a single penny. How can you be so shameless?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "What's there for me to be embarrassed about? Do I owe this money? Go ask whoever you signed the contract with, you won't get it from me. By the way, didn't Wang Sihai run away to your White Eagle? Just ask him for the money directly."

Chris immediately said, "Of course we contacted him, but he said it was company debt and had nothing to do with him personally. He was unwilling to pay for it personally and told us to ask you for the money."

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Are you all idiots? You've been fooled by them once, and you still want to listen to him? He's already in your country, so you can deal with him however you want, right? Why should you listen to his advice? I can tell you very clearly that the previous Sihai Hospital has already gone bankrupt and been liquidated. The current Sihai Group was established with my personal funds and has nothing to do with the Sihai Group. It's just using the Sihai name. So, I and the current Sihai Hospital have nothing to do with you. We don't owe you a single penny. Understand?"

Brian immediately retorted, "Isn't this cheating? You used the name of Sihai Hospital, so why shouldn't you assume responsibility for Sihai Hospital's debts?"

Yang Chen cursed, "Damn it! Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're a woman. I'll still curse you if I want to. I've already explained. The old Sihai Hospital went bankrupt and was liquidated. The current Sihai Hospital is my legal representative. I'm the sole proprietor and it has nothing to do with the Sihai Group. We just use the same name. Neither I nor the current Sihai Hospital owe you a single penny. Okay, that's it. It's over."

Yang Chen ended the video conference, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

That old bastard Wang Sihai wants to hide in Bald Eagle and enjoy the life of a billionaire. How could we possibly let his dream come true?
Wait!
He will go bankrupt soon, and his whole family will be homeless.

Chris and Brian were furious, but after calming down, they realized that Yang Chen made a lot of sense. Wang Sihai was the one who ultimately had to bear the responsibility for the contract he signed with them.

After discussing it, the two decided to go to Wang Sihai tomorrow to ask for the money. If Wang Sihai dared not pay, they would sue him. This was Bald Eagle, and the judge would definitely side with Harvard Medical School and Brian Hospital.

At this moment, Yang Chen received a system notification.

"The host refuses to repay the debt to Harvard Medical School and Blaine Hospital. The system rewards the host with [fully independent intellectual property rights graphics card technology] and [fully independent intellectual property rights CPU technology]."

"Because the host performed perfectly, not only refusing to repay the debt to Harvard Medical School and Brian Hospital, but also instigating them to demand repayment from Wang Sihai, the system will additionally reward the host with a fully autonomous intellectual property rights-based intelligent assistant, [Pangu AI]."

Ouch!

not bad.

The award consists of three prizes, all of which are technologies that China urgently needs in the field of science and technology.

Yang Chen quickly organized the information and then handed it over to Huang Wei, the president of Sihai Intelligent.

"Xiao Wei, USB drive 1 contains graphics card technology, USB drive 2 contains CPU technology, and USB drive 3 contains intelligent assistant technology. I've temporarily named it Pangu AI. Have our R&D staff thoroughly understand these technologies as soon as possible and develop them. If they have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. My phone is on 24/7. Tell them that speed is what I need!" Yang Chen instructed.

Huang Wei immediately nodded and replied, "Understood! Chairman Yang, may I ask a question? Where did you acquire all these technologies? Why do I feel like you have all sorts of technologies?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "You don't need to know that. Just do as I tell you."

Huang Wei smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand! I was just curious for a moment. I'll get back to work now. By the way, we're having hot pot at home tonight, so don't go out partying. If you have any energy, use it on us, don't go out and mess around all day."

Yang Chen looked at Huang Wei speechlessly.

Huang Wei immediately questioned, "What are you looking at? Am I wrong?"

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'll remember that," Yang Chen said helplessly.

Huang Wei made a cute but fierce face at Yang Chen, snorted, and turned to leave.

Originally, Yang Chen only wanted to work with the US to force them to stop interfering with EU decisions. Now, Yang Chen not only wants to work with the US, but also with the star technology companies promoted by the US, such as Nvidia and Tesla.

Last year, Nvidia's stock price continued to rise, while the A-shares index hovered around 3300 points. Many domestic investors praised Nvidia and belittled the A-shares.

Now Yang Chen is going to make domestic investors understand one thing: how terrifying the stock bubble in the United States is, and that the A-shares index remaining at 3000 points for many years is not necessarily a bad thing.

Time is dragging on for Yang Chen. He has to wait for new energy vehicles, solid-state batteries, graphics cards, CPUs, etc. to be mass-produced, and for Pangu AI to be launched. Only after all these are achieved can he proceed to the next step.

This time, Yang Chen aims to shatter the myth of European technology and lead Europe toward strategic autonomy.

Yang Chen was determined to do what others couldn't.
