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

Chapter 219 Want the technology? First, get 1000 billion Eagle Dollars.

The Koreans, who have always been hostile and contemptuous towards the Chinese, have also backed down at this moment.

A South Korean netizen, Kim Jae-seok, commented on a YouTube news post: "Sometimes I really feel that God is unfair. Why does Yang Chen know so much? I heard that they have already treated hundreds of thousands of patients, and have established branch hospitals in major cities across the country to treat cancer patients. This shows that their 'pig teammate' therapy is real; otherwise, China wouldn't have gone to such lengths to build so many hospitals. I hope that Yang Chen can share his technology with our hospitals out of humanitarian considerations, so that cancer patients in our country can also receive treatment."

Why did the Koreans back down now?
Because Koreans love to eat pickled kimchi, their cancer rate is particularly high. If this technology were to be introduced to their country, it could save many lives.

The number of new cancer cases in the United States is second only to that in China, with 200 million new cases last year, half the 400 million new cancer cases in China.

However, the population of the Dragon Kingdom is four times that of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, and according to the incidence rate, the Bald Eagle Kingdom has the highest cancer rate.

Therefore, the people of Bald Eagles were extremely excited when they saw this news, especially those cancer patients who were already waiting to die, who undoubtedly saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

For example, this is what a Bald Eagle netizen named Lesconley commented.

"When can this be introduced to our country? Or does anyone know how I can go to China for medical treatment? I have late-stage pancreatic cancer, and I've been trying to book an appointment for over a month without success. If I wait any longer, I'll only face death. I want to go to China to receive treatment from their professional team. I don't want to die; I want to live."

Everyone knows that you need to make an appointment in advance to see a doctor at Bald Eagle's clinic. You don't need to see a doctor for minor illnesses or major illnesses. Cancer patients in the middle and late stages of the disease can change their condition every day. Waiting for an appointment is basically waiting to die.

Cancer patients from countries with free, appointment-based healthcare will definitely come to China for treatment in order to survive, which will immediately boost China's "medical tourism".

To make it easier to earn money from foreigners, Yang Chen acquired a piece of land in Beijing and Haicheng respectively, and built two Sihai International Hospitals specifically to receive foreign patients.

Yang Chen was worried that the people of Longguo would misunderstand him, and in order to avoid anyone smearing him and Sihai Hospital, he specially posted a Weibo to explain to the public the purpose of building Sihai International Hospital.

"My primary goal has always been to make money from foreigners. I generally avoid the domestic market whenever possible, leaving it to our competitors. Now that we've developed such advanced treatment technology, it's natural that we should also make money from foreigners. To accommodate as many foreign patients as possible, I specifically built two Sihai International Hospitals in Beijing and Haicheng. These two hospitals do not accept patients from China, not out of discrimination, but purely to maximize our foreign revenue. Chinese patients will receive treatment at the nearest Sihai Hospital. Currently, we have 40 Sihai Hospitals nationwide, which is sufficient to accommodate cancer patients from China. I've made this clear, and I hope that anyone who tries to smear me or Sihai Hospitals will pursue this matter to the end. You won't be able to cry then."

Netizens left messages expressing their support.

“Mr. Yang is right. This is a way to make money from foreigners, and they don’t have the right to bargain. They have to pay whatever they want.”

"Mr. Yang understands online keyboard warriors. If he doesn't make things clear beforehand, someone will definitely use this to make fun of him, saying that he's giving special treatment to foreigners or something. Keep it up, Mr. Yang, make a lot of money from foreigners."

“There are 2000 million new cancer patients worldwide every year, of which more than 400 million are Chinese. This means that more than 1500 million new patients are from foreign countries every year. If half of these patients could receive treatment here, Sihai International Hospital could earn at least hundreds of billions of Eagle Dollars a year. If Mr. Yang goes even further and charges each patient 2 to 3 Eagle Dollars, Sihai International Hospital could earn enough to meet the country’s foreign exchange needs in a year.”

……

Since the "pig teammate" treatment of the Sihai Medical Team was exposed, the stock prices of overseas pharmaceutical giants have been falling continuously.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that foreign cancer patients are going to Sihai Hospital for treatment, which will inevitably cause a sharp drop in the performance of foreign hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. Investors will vote with their feet, believing that the performance of these companies will be greatly affected, and their stock prices will naturally continue to decline.

Industries like oil, finance, and healthcare are where vested interests congregate. Yang Chen has taken all the cancer patients, which is naturally unacceptable to the vested interest groups within the healthcare system.

Domestically, things are manageable. After all, Yang Chen has partnered with hospitals in major cities across the country, which has allowed them to make some money. As long as they can make money, they won't cause trouble.

But foreign healthcare systems suddenly lost a lot of revenue, and they weren't happy about it.

Take the US as an example. Medical and pharmaceutical companies, led by companies like Phillips and Mayo Clinic, approached the top management of the US, demanding that they use official means to force Yang Chen to share the "pig teammate" therapy.

The same applies to countries like Europe, where hospitals and pharmaceutical companies pressured their executives to force Yang Chen to share technology through official channels.

Capitalist countries are driven by capital; if they dare to disregard the interests of these healthcare systems, they can forget about getting votes in the next election.

Sure enough, health departments from countries and regions such as the United States, the European Union, and others joined forces to launch an attack on Yang Chen at the World Health Assembly.

Rox, the representative of the Bald Eagle, said, "Recently, a medical team from China discovered a new method for treating cancer with a cure rate exceeding 90%, and many cancer patients from China have been cured. I believe that this kind of scientific research should be used to benefit all mankind, and should not be used as a means for them to profit. What do you representatives from other countries think?"

Representatives from other countries expressed their support.

South Korean representative: "We support the opinion of the U.S. representative. This technology should not be kept secret for the sake of making money, but should be made public for medical organizations around the world to learn from, so that more patients can receive treatment."

The representative from Japan said, "We also believe that China should prioritize the overall situation, shoulder its responsibilities as a major power, and allow Yang Chen to share his technology."

French representative: "We agree with this opinion!"

……

After the foreigners had expressed their opinions, Li Changgong, the representative from China, calmly said, "I agree with the representatives' points. The pharmaceutical industry should share technologies and methods so that patients worldwide can benefit. Therefore, I propose that patent restrictions be lifted on medical devices, drugs, and technologies worldwide, allowing doctors globally to share the research results of all countries. Only in this way can patients worldwide afford medical care, and more people who shouldn't die can survive. Do you all agree?"

For the past century, foreign pharmaceutical giants have made countless fortunes from around the world through pharmaceutical patents and products. Now that Yang Chen has developed a technology they don't have, they're all making grand pronouncements. Since they like making grand pronouncements so much, let's raise the bar the highest and exempt the whole world from patent restrictions.

The foreigners fell silent and all looked at Rox, the representative of the Bald Eagles.

Rox shamelessly said, "One thing at a time, don't confuse the two. We're talking about getting Yang Chen to open up the technology, don't drag other people into this."

Li Changgong, the representative from the Dragon Kingdom, immediately retorted, "I hope the representative from the White Eagle, and the other representatives, understand one thing: this is not 100 years ago. The Dragon Kingdom is no longer a place where you can bully it however you want. Even today, you still control the patents for high-end medical devices, forcing us to purchase your products at several times the price. At this time, why don't you say that for the sake of patients worldwide, technology shouldn't be kept to make money, but should be shared with medical organizations around the world to treat patients? Pills that cost only a few cents to produce are sold to patients for tens or even hundreds of dollars because of your patent restrictions. Why don't you talk about sharing technology then? Our Yang Chen has developed technology that you don't have, and you want technology sharing? Is this some kind of double standard? Our attitude is consistent and clear: either we all abandon the patent restrictions, or you shut up! I'm giving you another chance to choose: do you want Yang Chen to share the technology with you?"

The room was completely silent, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Director-General Odyssey quickly said, "Since we can't reach an agreement on this issue, let's move on to the next one."

Li Changgong, the representative from the Dragon Kingdom, immediately said, "Excuse me, Mr. Odyssey, I need them to make a clear statement. Do you want Yang Chen to share his technology? All representatives must make a statement, otherwise this meeting can't continue."

The tough stance of the Chinese representative shocked the representatives from other countries. China's attitude in international exchanges is becoming increasingly assertive, and foreigners are still getting used to it.

Representatives from several countries with good relations with China have stated that they do not support Yang Chen sharing technology unless other countries lift all restrictions on medicine.

Subsequently, Western countries, led by the United States, were also forced to state that they would no longer require Yang Chen to share technology.

Dragon Kingdom representative Li Changgong shook his head in disappointment and said, "I am very disappointed with your choice. I thought that since you talk about human rights every day, you would actually agree to share medical technology out of humanitarian considerations. I didn't expect that you still refuse to give up your vested interests. I'd like to take this opportunity to make a statement here: in the future, if you can't do what you're told regarding any proposals involving Dragon Kingdom, then don't bring them up. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving face to the other representatives. Next agenda item!"

The foreign representatives all looked extremely displeased. They had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, suffering a double loss and losing all face.

Since official channels were not working, they had no choice but to go through "private" channels. Foreign medical giants couldn't just stand by and watch patients go to Sihai International Hospital for treatment, so they quickly sent teams to Sihai Group to meet with Yang Chen to discuss cooperation.

The first to arrive was the Mayo Clinic, the world's most profitable medical institution, from the United States.

Many colonialists and traitors often complain about the high cost of medical care in China, while mindlessly praising the so-called free healthcare abroad.

But they have no idea how many people under the free healthcare system end up going to expensive private hospitals for treatment because they can't wait to make an appointment.

The Mayo Clinic has only 1200 beds and treated 116 million patients last year, but its revenue was 157 billion pesos.

Meanwhile, Zhengzhou University First Affiliated Hospital, the largest hospital in Asia, received more than 4 patients per day last year, but its revenue was only 220 billion Chinese Yuan.

This comparison will show which of the two healthcare systems is better.

Since it's the world's most profitable hospital, Yang Chen naturally wouldn't hold back.

“Hehehe… Of course, you all want our technology, but you can’t just ask for it. You have to give me some benefits in return, right? We’re all adults, you should understand this principle,” Yang Chen said. Chris Mayo, the representative of Mayo Clinic, replied with a smile, “Mr. Yang is absolutely right. We are prepared to buy out this technology in one go, for use only within the United States. Mr. Yang, please name your price.”

“1000 billion Eagle Dollars!” Yang Chen replied.

Chris Mayo was immediately shocked and asked, "How much? 1000 billion Eagle Dollars? Mr. Yang, your appetite is too big."

Yang Chen smiled, took out a document and tossed it to Chris Mayo, then said, "This is your hospital's operating report. You see an average of 3000 patients daily, yet last year your revenue reached a staggering 157 billion Eagle Dollars. That's an average of 13500 Eagle Dollars per patient. Your White-Headed Eagle has 200 million new cancer patients every year. If you can guarantee a cure, I believe most of these patients will seek your treatment. And I'm also certain that once you acquire the technology, patients from countries closely aligned with you will definitely prioritize your hospital. 1000 billion Eagle Dollars is nothing to you. Wall Street investment banks and firms take years, even decades, to figure out. You can't possibly be willing to spend a year or two's worth of profits to buy a technology that can make you money permanently, can you?"

That makes perfect sense. As long as humanity exists, there will always be patients, and hospitals will continue to make money.

1000 billion Eagle Dollars may seem exaggerated, but compared to the huge number of cancer patients in the Bald Eagle and the high cost of treatment, it is actually not that much.

According to data from CA magazine, there are currently 1500 million cancer patients in the Bald Eagles, with 200 million new cancer patients diagnosed each year.

If the Mayo Clinic treats 1 million cancer patients a year, and each patient contributes 100 Eagle Dollars in net profit, the annual net profit would reach 100 billion Eagle Dollars.

What if we receive 200 million patients a year?
What about 300 million?

Anyway, expanding the hospital won't cost much.

Is a technology buyout fee of 1000 billion Eagle Coins still expensive?
Chris Mayo frowned, and after considering for a moment, said, "Mr. Yang is right. The data does show that this is indeed the case. But we can't afford to come up with so much money all at once."

"Stop joking around. With your profitability, plenty of investors would be willing to give you money if you were willing to raise funds. Or we could do this: you put up 500 billion Eagle Dollars for a cooperation opportunity, and we'll jointly establish a new hospital. We'll hold 49% of the shares, and you'll hold 51%, but we'll have 67% of the voting rights. These are the two options; you can think about them yourselves," Yang Chen said.

The proposed plan would give Mayo Hospital an extra 2% of the profit-sharing rights, but control would remain with Sihai Hospital.

At this moment, Chen Xi walked in and whispered in Yang Chen's ear, "Chairman Yang, it's time. It's time for Anderson Cancer Center to negotiate with you."

Yang Chen nodded and smiled at Chris Mayo, saying, "Mr. Mayo, please go to the reception room to rest and think things over. If you're unsure about anything, you can contact your family to discuss it. I need to receive the MD Anderson Cancer Center team. You've all come at once, so I can only give you this much time."

When Chris Mayo heard that the MD Anderson Cancer Center team was also there, his heart immediately raced. The collaboration between the two institutions was a perfect match in terms of expertise.

Chris Mayo quickly said, "Okay! I'll contact my family right away and discuss it. No matter what offer the Anderson team makes, please don't agree immediately, Mr. Yang. Maybe we can offer a higher price. Please."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem."

Chris Mayo quickly got up and led his team to the reception room, immediately sending a video conference request to his family.

The MD Anderson Cancer Center team approached Yang Chen, and the two sides began negotiations.

Yang Chen's negotiation steps were the same as before: first, present the data, and then directly state the price for the other party to choose whether to accept it.

Rich Anderson, a representative from MD Anderson Cancer Center, said, "1000 billion Eagle Dollars is really too expensive. We don't even have that much money, even if we wanted to. I do prefer the second cooperation method, but coming up with 500 billion Eagle Dollars at once is still beyond our means. And Mr. Yang's demand for 67% voting rights is not unreasonable, but demanding 49% of the profit-sharing rights is a bit too high. With such a high cooperation fee, we should at least take 7% of the profit-sharing rights to be reasonable."

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Haha...you're right, but the technology is in my hands, and it's the only one of its kind in the world, so I'm in charge. Haven't you Western countries always treated our Dragon Country this way? Medical equipment and CNC machine tools that cost hundreds of thousands to manufacture are sold to us for millions, even tens of millions. We even have to designate your engineers for maintenance, otherwise they'll lock it remotely, and each repair will cost hundreds of thousands, even millions. When you're making money off us, why don't you say it's unreasonable? You set the rules, and we followed them when we were behind. Now, please follow them too! Otherwise, let's not play together anymore and just survive by our own abilities."

It feels so good to be in the lead, it feels so damn good to have control over the narrative.

Rich Anderson looked troubled and hesitated. Their time was up, and it was time for the Johns Hopkins Hospital delegation to negotiate with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen received over 50 hospital teams in one go, from countries including the United States, Europe, Japan, and South Korea.

However, only the Sanxing Medical team directly accepted the cooperation terms offered by Yang Chen, after all, their leader, Li Zaiying, was Yang Chen's woman.

Anyway, Yang Chen wasn't in a hurry. Foreign patients could come over for a round of treatment through the 240-hour visa-free transit policy.

night.

Yang Chen worked overtime to trade Bald Eagle stock.

Chen Chao, the trading department manager, reported: "Chairman Yang, the stocks we shorted, Medtronic, Abercrombie & Wakefield, Novartis, Alcon, and AstraZeneca, have all fallen by more than 20%. At what price should we close our positions and exit the market?"

Yang Chen replied, "No rush. We'll close our positions and exit the market whenever we sign a cooperation agreement with the medical institutions of the Bald Eagle Group. I'll contact BlackRock and Vanguard to borrow money to continue shorting more of the Bald Eagle Group's medical companies."

Yang Chen called BlackRock President Pacquiao and Vanguard President Barkley to invite them for a video chat.

Last time, Yang Chen helped Europe retaliate against these two companies, causing them to suffer huge losses of more than 400 billion euros. The two of them still harbor resentment.

Yang Chen joked, "Fuck! I'm asking you two to work together to make money, and you're giving me this sour look? If you're not happy, fine, I'll find someone else to work with."

Pacquiao quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "No, no, Mr. Yang, please don't misunderstand. I just didn't sleep well last night and I'm not feeling well. I have never held any grudge against you, Mr. Yang. I swear to God, what I said is absolutely true."

Barkley quickly added, "Yes, yes, I didn't sleep well last night either, so I'm not feeling well. Mr. Yang, if you need anything from us, just let us know, and we'll do our best to help."

The capitalists' faces are truly ugly.

But that's fine too, things that can be solved with money are the easiest for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Has your pharmaceutical stock price crashed recently? Have you shorted it?"

Pacquiao replied, "We were going to follow suit, but we heard they went to China to discuss cooperation with you. Once the deal is finalized, this wave of decline will end. So, we didn't follow suit and short sell."

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Whether we can reach an agreement, and when we can reach an agreement, isn't that up to me? Do you understand what I mean? I've already shorted over 100 billion Eagle Dollars. If you follow suit immediately, you can still make a profit. I'll remind you when it's time to close your positions and leave the market."

Pacquiao and Barkley immediately sat up straight with excitement, thanked Yang Chen profusely, and then picked up the phone to order their subordinates to completely short the Eagle Pharmaceuticals sector.

After giving his instructions, Pacquiao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, thank you, thank you."

Yang Chen laughed loudly and said, "Damn it, what kind of faces do you guys have? I'm going to short two more companies, do you dare to follow suit?"

Barkley immediately asked, "Which two?"

“Nvidia and Tesla!” Yang Chen replied.

Pacquiao and Barkley were shocked. Nvidia is the world's leading semiconductor company, and Tesla is the world's leading new energy vehicle company. Not only are their positions in their respective industries unshakeable, but their profitability is also extremely strong.

Several Wall Street investment banks, including BlackRock and Vanguard, have bullish on Tesla's stock price to over 450 USD and Nvidia's stock price to over 200 USD. Why would Yang Chen short these two companies?

Pacquiao asked, "Mr. Yang, can you tell me why? These two companies are leaders in their respective fields. If you can successfully short sell without any reason, then I really have to suspect that you are the incarnation of God."

Barkley chimed in, "Chairman Yang always manages to succeed, and upon analysis, there are always reasons to explain your success. But these two companies are perfectly legitimate. If you can still successfully short sell, I'll start to wonder if you have magic powers and can control the stock market's ups and downs."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "When have I ever succeeded without a reason? Of course, there's a reason this time too, but I can't tell you right now. I want each of you to lend 500 billion Eagle Dollars to Sihai Investment, and we'll short Nvidia and Tesla together. So, are you in or not?"
