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

Chapter 228 Yang Chen Joins Forces with Europe to Share the Bald Eagle

Yang Chen was playing in the pool with 10 women when BlackRock CEO Pacquiao called him.

"Mr. Yang, hurry up and get on the phone, it's urgent!" Pacquiao said with a smile.

"Haha... Okay, I'm here," Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Yang Chen wrapped himself in a bath towel, went to the side, turned on his computer, and leaned against the wall to video chat with BlackRock President Pacquiao and Vanguard President Barkley.

“Mr. Yang, you previously proposed that each of our two companies lend you 500 billion Eagle Dollars so we could short Tesla and Nvidia together. We’ve thought it through now and are willing to lend it to you,” Pacquiao said bluntly.

Yang Chen smiled and asked in return, "You were unwilling to lend it to me before, but why have you changed your mind now?"

Barkley quickly said, "Mr. Yang, we've been thinking a lot these past few days. We're eager to improve, and we hope Mr. Yang can lead us to improve together."

“Yes! We really want to improve, and we hope Mr. Yang can help us improve together,” Pacquiao added.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Wanting to improve oneself is a positive thing, so let's improve together."

Pacquiao and Barkley burst into laughter.

“We have the money ready and will transfer it to your account now. Let’s start making progress now,” Pacquiao said.

Actually, they didn't just figure it out, they just understood it.

Xingchen Automotive's pricing range is exactly the same as that of Tesla's best-selling models. Xingchen Automotive is taking away Tesla's market share, and it is no surprise that Tesla's stock price will plummet.

However, they still felt it was necessary to involve Yang Chen as an insurance policy, since Yang Chen had never failed in short selling.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "You guys transfer the money into our account first. I'll call the investment manager later. He's a true master of my skills, and with him guiding you, success is guaranteed."

Pacquiao replied, "Okay! As long as success is guaranteed. We'll contact your investment manager. Mr. Yang, please rest. We won't bother you any longer."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen called Chen Chao to explain how to proceed, and Chen Chao was to follow up and cooperate with BlackRock and Vanguard to short Tesla and Nvidia.

At this moment, a financial blogger with the Douyin ID "Wang Xiaoyu" posted a new video.

"Family, I've heavily invested in Tesla and Nvidia. I can't afford to play the A-shares market, so I'll try my luck in the Eagle's stock market. I didn't just buy these stocks randomly, you know. I carefully considered and researched them before finally choosing semiconductor leader Nvidia and new energy vehicle leader Tesla. Watch closely, I'm going to make a lot of money this time."

Fans left comments teasing him.

"Well done, go wreak havoc on the Eagle's stock market, don't come back to the A-shares market and wreak havoc on us."

"Haha... Buying Nvidia is fine, it's definitely worth buying. But if you buy Tesla now, it's like the Xinhai Revolution succeeded but you ended up being castrated in the palace. Mr. Yang, this Virgo, is coming on strong, mainly stealing Tesla's customers. Are you sure Tesla's stock price can still rise after it's already so high? It would be amazing if it could even maintain it."

"You might as well buy A-shares; at least you'd lose money to your own people. Buying Yingzi's stocks is just giving them money away, isn't it? If you want to transfer assets, just say so. Why use stock trading as an excuse? Haha..."

……

Wang Xiaoyu clearly hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem; she's still interacting with fans in the comments section.

"Don't worry, no one can have bad luck forever."

"As the saying goes, a tree dies when it's moved, but a person thrives. I moved from Big A to Eagle's place, so it's time for me to live a prosperous life."

"Xingchen Motors is only popular in China, but not abroad, while Tesla can be sold all over the world."

……

Wang Xiaoyu interacted with his fans for about an hour, and suddenly many fans sent him private messages.

"Haha...you really are a stock market parasite! Tesla was doing so well, but now it's starting to fall."

"Sister Yu, stop showing off and hurry up and take a look at your Tesla."

"That's hilarious! Watch out, Wall Street might be after you. Haha..."

After reading a few private messages, Wang Xiaoyu quickly opened her trading software to check Tesla's stock price, and what she saw completely stunned her.

Wang Xiaoyu bought Tesla at an average price of 451.25 Eagle Coins. When she bought it, the price had risen to 456 Eagle Coins, but now it has fallen to 442.45 Eagle Coins.

"Holy crap! What's going on? Am I really a stock market disaster? Every stock I buy seems to crash!" Wang Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

Wang Xiaoyu quickly checked Nvidia's trading data again, and sure enough, Nvidia's stock price had also fallen, though not by much.

"This is really weird. Whatever I buy, it drops. Even stocks like Dazi and Tesla are falling. It's outrageous and doesn't make any sense at all," Wang Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

At this point, she began to believe that she might really be cursed with bad luck.

On the other side, Pacquiao and Barkley couldn't help but smile with delight as they watched Nvidia and Tesla's stock prices fall.

It has to be Yang Chen; he's never made a mistake.

Tesla shares fell for five consecutive trading days, dropping a total of 20%, without a single day in the green. Wang Xiaoyu, who bought at the high, has lost so much money that she has stopped posting videos.

Nvidia's stock price remains strong, thanks to its status as a semiconductor leader, but it has still fallen by 12% in five trading days.

Pacquiao and Barkley sent Yang Chen another video.

"Haha... Mr. Yang is really something. As long as you make a move, the game is in the bag," Pacquiao said with a laugh.

Barkley followed up, saying, "Mr. Yang is trustworthy. From now on, we will never hesitate again. Whoever Mr. Yang says we will deal with, we will deal with."

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Really? How about you lend me another 2000 billion Eagle Dollars, and we'll go all out on something even bigger?"

Pacquiao and Barkley's smiles froze instantly, and their expressions became visibly awkward.

Yang Chen laughed loudly and said, "Foreigners are just so damn hypocritical, they're so fake even to your face."

Pacquiao laughed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Yang, please don't misunderstand. Asking for 2000 billion Eagle Dollars right off the bat is really too much."

Barkley said, "Yeah, we just lent you 500 billion Eagle Dollars each, and now you want another 2000 billion Eagle Dollars. We don't have that much money to lend you."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "With our operational returns, even if you borrow money from banks or other peers, you won't lose money."

There is no one in the world so domineering as to ask others to lend him money.

But Yang Chen has the ability, because Pacquiao and Barkley want to continue making money with Yang Chen in the future.

Pacquiao laughed and said, "Mr. Yang is really too domineering, haha... However, 2000 billion is just too much, we really can't get it."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "That's alright, we can't force these things. I'll contact Goldman Sachs and those other companies then."

Barkley quickly said, "No, no, no, let's think of something."

Pacquiao gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, let's think of a way."

"Then you'd better hurry up. Opportunity waits for no one. You must give me an answer by this time tomorrow, or I'll find someone else to cooperate with. That's enough, I'm going to sleep," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Yang Chen left the chat, and Pacquiao and Barkley continued their conversation.

"What do you mean? Do you want to lend it to me?" Barkley asked.

Pacquiao replied, "To be honest, I'd like to borrow it. The money we make from one transaction with him is enough to generate profits for other projects for several years, even decades. How could we not be tempted? It's just that 2000 billion is really too much, and there's a bit of risk involved."

Barkley paused for a moment, then said, "Investing in any project carries risk, but investing in Yang Chen is risk-free. He has never made a mistake. Just by his name, he can raise trillions in the global financial market. It may be a lot, but it's worth it."

This tactic is all too familiar.

This is the typical modus operandi of online fraud platforms: they initially lure victims into investing small amounts, allowing them to withdraw their principal and profits, until the final investment leaves them penniless and completely locked in. The two men discussed this for over an hour, ultimately succumbing to the allure of potentially huge returns and deciding to lend money to Sihai Investment.

However, they still need to go back to the company to go through the procedures, and the shareholders and executives will vote on whether to lend money to Yang Chen.

Seeing Tesla's stock price drop by 20% in five trading days and Nvidia's by 12%, shareholders and executives couldn't resist the lure of the returns and ultimately decided to lend money to Sihai Investment.

They didn't lend money to Sihai Investment casually. This time, Sihai Investment needed to use its overseas assets as collateral. If Sihai Investment didn't repay the money, or couldn't repay it, then all of Sihai Investment's overseas accounts would be frozen, including its related accounts, as well as the overseas assets of companies in which Yang Chen held shares and other companies under the Sihai Group.

Yang Chen smiled when he saw the guarantee terms and immediately replied to Pacquiao and Barkley's emails.

"You two get this straight. I'm not begging you to make money for me, so what's with this whole mess? Let's call it a day. I'm contacting European investment banks. Giving you a chance won't help, you're nothing, you bastards!"

In fact, Yang Chen would still prefer to choose the investment bank of the bald eagle, since the eagle is more domineering and there is no need to worry about encountering withdrawal problems after making money.

Europe has long lived in the shadow of the bald eagle. Now that China and Europe are cooperating in many fields, Europe must achieve strategic autonomy and can no longer blindly follow the bald eagle.

You can't encourage someone with words to stop them from being timid. You have to make them face unbearable losses or be driven to a dead end before they will stand up for themselves. Yang Chen is now creating an opportunity for Europe to completely break with the bald eagle.

Yang Chen contacted Deutsche Bank (Germany), Barclays (Yingzi's family), Bally Bank (France's family), and UBS (Switzerland), inviting the heads of these banks to a video conference. To facilitate a more cooperative relationship, Yang Chen also invited EU President Tuskla to join.

As soon as the video conference started, Tusk began complaining to Yang Chen.

“Oh dear, Mr. Yang, we’ve been suffering terribly lately. Our people say the agreement we signed with you is a betrayal of our rights and a disgrace to the nation. There are several demonstrations every day. God, we’re going crazy.”

Yang Chen said with a smile, "When you want to do great things, you'll always encounter some troubles. If great achievements were so easy to accomplish, how could it have been your turn? Your predecessors, colleagues, and compatriots have already succeeded before you."

Tusk laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Yang always speaks with such philosophical insight. What brings you all here this time, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Chen smiled and replied, "I'll prove to you how wise your decision to sign a cooperation agreement with us was. I'm about to launch a major operation, preparing to share this feast with our strategic partners in the financial sector. However, high profits also mean high pressure. Whether you can get a piece of this pie depends on the courage of you Europeans. If you have the courage of your ancestors to venture into the deep sea, then you can have a piece of this pie. If you don't have that courage, then you can only watch from the sidelines."

Deutsche Bank President Horns immediately said, "Mr. Yang can rest assured that we have absolutely inherited the courageous and fearless spirit of our ancestors."

Barclays President Boris Johnson followed up, saying, "That's right! Mr. Yang, you're worrying too much about this. Just talk about the fat meat."

Tusk added, "That's right, they're all right. Mr. Yang doesn't need to worry about our courage at all. There's nothing in this world that we Europeans wouldn't dare to do."

Damn it, if Europe hadn't been controlled by the bald eagle, Yang Chen would have actually believed their lies.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "That's true, but the whole world knows that Europe has always followed the lead of the United States. That's what I'm worried about. I'm worried that you won't dare to reap the wealth of the United States."

The CEOs, who had been looking smug just moments before, suddenly became clear-eyed. It was clear that they truly had a fear of eagles; it was ingrained in their genes.

Tusk asked with an awkward laugh, "Mr. Yang, are you going to harvest bald eagles again? How big are you planning to go this time?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "To be precise, my main goal is to take down the bald eagle, and while I'm at it, I'll also deal with Europe."

The CEOs were stunned for a moment, their expressions gradually changing from surprise to indignation.

Tusk immediately asked, "Mr. Yang, isn't this inappropriate? We signed a financial cooperation agreement. We opened our financial markets to you, and you can't come here to plunder our wealth again."

Several bank presidents immediately expressed their dissatisfaction to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen explained with a smile, "Don't be in such a hurry, let me finish. This time, tech stocks in the US and Europe will fall, and no one can stop it. Since we can't stop it, why don't we short them? I'll make money by shorting, and you can hedge your losses from the stock market decline. It's a win-win situation. If it weren't for the financial cooperation agreement signed between the EU and China, do you think I would waste my time bringing you all in to say this? You're actually questioning my character, and I'm really getting angry."

Tusk quickly put on a smile and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Yang, please forgive us. We misunderstood you. But I'm a little confused, what could possibly cause both the US and Europe to fall?"

Barclays CEO Boris Johnson asked, "Does that include our family? We're no longer part of the EU, will we be affected too?"

Yang Chen chuckled and replied, "Your country has left the EU, but it's still a long-established capitalist nation in Europe, holding a very important position globally. How could you not be affected? I'm about to launch a new product that will cause foreign tech stocks to plummet, while related tech stocks in our Dragon Country will surge. If you ask why, I can only say believe it or not. If you trust me, you and your families can pool together 1000 billion euros and 1000 billion eagle coins to lend me, and I'll show you the thrill of harvesting bald eagles, and incidentally cure your fear of eagles."

The CEOs were stunned. They immediately offered to lend him 1000 billion euros and 1000 billion peso. Did he not know the value of that amount of money?

Tusk said, "Mr. Yang, we haven't even repaid the 500 billion euros that Sihai Investment borrowed from us before. It's not appropriate for you to borrow so much money again now."

Yang Chen replied, "I already have dozens of ships of cars shipped to Europe, and I've built so many battery swapping stations there. Are you afraid I'll renege on my promise? You know the tasks the country has given me. Do you think I'd ruin our relationship? I told you last time that I'd repay you with the money I earned if we had another chance to cooperate. Now the opportunity has come. I'm only bringing you along because of the financial cooperation agreement you signed with us. Otherwise, I could have just quietly made my own money. Why waste my breath talking to you like this?"

Tusk remained silent, as did the bank presidents.

Yang Chen continued, "Alright, I've explained the situation to you. Think it over carefully, and you must give me an answer by this time tomorrow. But let me make this clear: as I just said, no one can stop the decline in the US and European stock markets this time. If you don't cooperate with me, I can't miss this opportunity. I will still short Europe and the US according to the original plan. This isn't my fault; it doesn't mean I'm violating financial agreements. That's all!"

Yang Chen immediately left the video conference.

The CEOs immediately started arguing.

Barclays President Boris Johnson said, "What should we do? Can we trust him?"

Barry Bank President Matthews said, "In other matters, we might not trust him. But in the financial capital markets, we should trust him. After all, he has never lost."

Deutsche Bank CEO Horns said, "But he borrowed too much, 1000 billion euros, 1000 billion peso. What if he doesn't pay it back?"

UBS President Punxter said, "It's impossible for him not to pay. If he dares not to pay, we will directly seize China's assets in Europe and have their senior management help us get the money from him. I think what we should be considering is whether we dare to harvest the bald eagle. Other issues are not issues at all."

Deutsche Bank and Barclays have been penalized by the US multiple times, resulting in losses totaling tens of billions of euros. They are both harboring resentment.

Previously, Europe was fragmented, and they dared not resist.

If the EU can unite in its hatred of the enemy and be determined to work with Yang Chen to harvest the bald eagle, these two banks will certainly not hesitate.

Deutsche Bank CEO Horns said, "Speaking of history, we Europeans are the ancestors of the Bald Eagles, so why should we be afraid of them? We now have close relations with China, so why should we be afraid of the Bald Eagles if we join forces? Let's take them down! Yang Chen is right, we also need an opportunity to cure our European fear of eagles!"

Barry Bank President Matthews said, "Then let's do it! We really need to be tougher; we can't keep following the bald eagle's heel. Boris, we haven't settled the score for your betrayal of us last time. Even if you don't join us this time, you can't betray us again, otherwise England will be completely wiped out of Europe, and we'll proactively contact Yang Chen to short England. Russia will definitely join us in targeting you then, and given the bald eagle's tendency to betray its allies, they'll definitely join the ranks of those reaping your benefits. Don't choose the wrong side this time!"

Barclays CEO Boris Johnson quickly retorted, "I've lost count of how many times we've been fleeced by the bald eagles. Do you think I don't want revenge? It was the politicians who betrayed you, not us! If you've decided to do it, then I'll do it too! Europeans, it's time to stand up!"

Damn it, they were all hesitant when Yang Chen was around, but now they're having a blast.

Tusk immediately convened a secret briefing with representatives of EU member states to prepare them mentally.

Meanwhile, the presidents of several banks went back to gather funds, some for their own use, and some to raise 1000 billion euros and 1000 billion hawks to lend to Yang Chen. Whether Europeans can cure their fear of hawks depends on this operation.

Soon, several major European banks raised the 1000 billion euros and 1000 billion peso that Yang Chen wanted and transferred them to Sihai Investment's account.

Tusk convened another video conference with the presidents of major banks and Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, everything is ready. When shall we begin?" Tusk asked.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Let's take action tomorrow! I'm all ready. Once we've completed our short-selling operations in the stock and futures markets, I'll launch our new product. I have high hopes for you, and I hope you won't let me down in the end. Europeans, rise up!"

Presidents of major banks have all made statements.

Barclays CEO Boris Johnson said, "At worst, I'll quit being CEO. This time, we have to tear off a piece of the bald eagle's flesh and swallow it whole!"

Barry Bank President Matthews followed up, saying, "I'm even prepared to be assassinated, but as long as Europe achieves strategic autonomy, or even just the idea of ​​strategic autonomy, I'll die a worthy death!"

EU President Donald Tusk also said: "I am also prepared to be assassinated, but who cares? To paraphrase an old Chinese saying, everyone must die, but some deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather. I think if we can awaken Europeans, our deaths will be heavier than Mount Tai!"

……

Yang Chen's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Very good! I acknowledge your commitment regardless of the outcome! I can also assure you here that the financial cooperation agreement signed between the EU and China will not be in vain! This time, we'll share this lucrative piece of the bald eagle's meat together!"

After the video conference ended, Yang Chen immediately sent emails to Chen Lan, president of Sihai Electronics, and Huang Wei, president of Sihai Intelligent.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Wei, graphics card, CPU, Pangu AI, ready to go public!"
