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

Chapter 232 The Bald Eagle Freezes European Accounts, the World Watches Europe Laugh.

Chapter 232 The Bald Eagle Freezes European Accounts, the Whole World Watches Europe Make a Fool of Themselves
At this moment, the spokesperson for the Bald Eagle received a message from the Dragon Kingdom, and then she loudly told everyone.

"I just received news from the Dragon Kingdom that they have designated Sihai Electronics and Sihai Intelligent as key non-state-owned protected units, subject to special security measures. Meanwhile, Sihai Intelligent's R&D base has been designated a military control zone, prohibiting outsiders from entering or taking photos; anyone found violating this rule will be dealt with according to military law. Furthermore, it's said that Yang Chen has confiscated all the passports of the R&D personnel and built them family housing, equipping them with all the necessary living facilities, completely protecting them."

The room immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes became much clearer.

They were just plotting how to bribe and persecute the developers of Pangu AI, but it's clear that China anticipated their behavior and made preparations in advance.

Everyone looked embarrassed; the idea was rejected before they even left the meeting room.

"While we cannot bribe or harm them, we can shut down the Pangu AI."

"Now the only thing we can do is block Pangu AI; there are no other better ways to deal with its impact on our AI field."

"Don't hesitate any longer. The longer you hesitate, the wider it will spread. Let's team up with our allies to ban Pangu AI. We've already come up with a reason for them: it poses a data security risk and endangers national security."

"Endangering national security" is the most common reason used by the Bald Eagles; they even dare to say that garlic from China threatens their security.

At this moment, Carmen, the head of the financial department, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yang Chen and Europe have begun to buy and close out their short positions in our stock market."

The crowd immediately roared excitedly.

"Immediately freeze their accounts, and don't even think about transferring a single penny away!"

"They think they can get away with it just by successfully shorting? Haha... Naive! Mr. Carmen, immediately notify the brokerage firms and banks to freeze their accounts."

“But if we freeze Yang Chen’s account, he will definitely retaliate against us. Why don’t we just stop targeting Yang Chen and freeze the money in Europe? We can keep the capital in Europe and make up for some of the losses from Yang Chen’s profits.”

"Yes, yes, this is the safest way. Let's do it this way. We can't deal with Yang Chen, but dealing with Europe is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

……

Carmen nodded and immediately ordered her assistant to notify all brokerages and banks to freeze all accounts in Europe.

At this moment, Yang Chen was leading various European banks to close out their short positions.

Deutsche Bank CEO Horns exclaimed happily, "It feels so good to have reaped the benefits of the bald eagle! It's like getting revenge! Awesome!"

Barclays President Boris Johnson added, "We were fined so much money by the bald eagles before, but now we can finally earn it back! I want the eagles to know that everything I lost will be taken back, and it will be taken back fair and square, legally and legitimately, unlike them who only know how to play the hegemonic game."

EU President Donald Tusk said with a smile, "We have to thank Mr. Yang for all of this. Everyone must remember Mr. Yang's kindness."

Barry Bank President Matthews laughed and said, "Of course, Mr. Yang is our lucky charm. Haha..."

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Don't be too happy yet, this money won't be so easy to get back."

The smiles on the CEOs' faces immediately froze.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Yang?" Tusk asked.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "You all know what kind of people Yingzi is. How could they let us transfer the money so easily? If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen, and they will definitely freeze our accounts. I said before that I would cure your fear of eagles, and now I'm going to treat you. Be prepared both mentally and physically."

Got it!
The CEOs who were excited just a moment ago have instantly cowered. It's a clear sign of their cowardice; their faces practically scream "coward."

Tusk chuckled awkwardly and said, "Really? Would they be so unethical? Besides, they wouldn't dare mess with you."

Yang Chen said with a smile, "They don't dare to mess with me, but they dare to mess with you."

"..."

The CEOs were completely speechless.

After a brief silence, Tusk said guiltily, "Mr. Yang, aren't you exaggerating a bit? We're all in this together. If he wants to freeze assets, he should freeze them all together. How could he only freeze us? Besides, you're just an individual, while we're a large corporation working together. Even if the bald eagle looks down on us, it's impossible for him to freeze us but not you."

Yang Chen asked with a smile, "Really? How about we make a bet? If I'm right, you can hold off on paying me back the money you lent me for a while longer. If I'm wrong, you'll return the money immediately and even compensate me with interest at the same rate. How about it?"

Tusk asked, "What are the presidents' thoughts?"

Several bank presidents nodded; they simply couldn't believe that the bald eagle would treat them so differently.

Tusk immediately said, "Alright, Mr. Yang, we'll take this bet to lighten the mood. Hehehe..."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Okay, hopefully it's just to lighten the mood, not to put on a nerve."

Tusk said with a laugh, "Mr. Yang is joking again."

Yang Chen lit a cigar, took a couple of puffs, and then picked up his wine glass and took a couple of sips.

Sudden.

Several bank presidents received the call, and their expressions changed drastically almost simultaneously.

Yang Chen calmly swirled his wine glass and asked, "So, has the Bald Eagle side made a move?"

Deutsche Bank CEO Horns said, "Fuck! Those damned bald eagles really froze our accounts, both the brokerage and bank accounts. They're so unethical!"

Barclays CEO Boris Johnson exclaimed excitedly, "Fuck! Ours is frozen too!"

Bari Bank President Matthews also said, "So do we."

The presidents of several other banks also angrily said that their accounts had been frozen as well.

At this moment, Chen Chao reported loudly, "Chairman Yang, we've calculated it. This time, we made a total profit of 865.65 billion Eagle Coins from the White Eagle. It feels a bit low. Nvidia alone lost a trillion in market value, and we only made a little over 80 billion."

Yang Chen laughed and said, "That's enough. One shouldn't be too greedy. There's plenty of time in the future, and many more opportunities will come. Let the韭菜 (retail investors) in the White Eagle's stock market grow a bit taller before we harvest them."

The CEOs in the video instantly lost their composure; the White Eagle really only froze them, not Yang Chen.

Deutsche Bank CEO Horns angrily cursed, "Fuck! The bald eagles are going too far! They don't treat us like human beings at all! How could they do such a thing?"

Tusk quickly followed up with a rant: "Mr. Yang, you have a good eye for people. The bald eagle is truly inhuman, specializing in targeting its own allies. Anyone who plays with them is doomed. I thought their exploitation of Japan was already shameless enough, but I never imagined they could be even more despicable."

Barclays president Boris Johnson said, "I thought I was going to make a lot of money, but I ended up losing even my principal. Fuck!"

Barry Bank CEO Matthews retorted, "Listen to what you're saying! Can't you stand up for yourself? This time, we'll join forces and fight them to the bitter end. We must let them know that the EU isn't made of clay, and they can't just take advantage of us as they please!"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll log off now. Contact me again if you need anything, and I'll do my best to help you get your money back."

Yang Chen immediately left the video conference, telling the foreigners to figure out how to get the money back from the bald eagle first. If they really couldn't get it back, then Yang Chen would step in to help them.

Yang Chen happily cuddled the girl and went to sleep, prompting the EU to immediately convene a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Tusk said angrily, "Yang Chen predicted this outcome long ago. At the time, we didn't believe it. How could the bald eagle only freeze our assets and not his? We are the EU, after all, and his allies. Yang Chen is just a person. How could he do such a thing? But Yang Chen was right. He did it! The bald eagle is so unscrupulous. What do you all think we should do?"

The German representative immediately declared indignantly, "There's nothing more to say. This time, we must stand firm against him and let him know that the EU is one of the most important forces in the world, not a weakling he can bully! To make Europe great again, we must stand firm to the end!"

The Italian representative said, "Isn't that a bad idea? They're the bald eagles! There's absolutely no benefit in going head-to-head with them."

The French representative immediately retorted, "Being allied with you is a disgrace! We've invested over 200 billion US dollars in the Bald Eagle this time, with returns exceeding 100 billion US dollars. Isn't that bad? Are we just going to throw away nearly 400 billion US dollars? You truly are the worst teammate ever! We must choose to stand firm; we can't back down. Last time he targeted Alstom, and we chose to tolerate it. This time, he dares to freeze our assets but not Yang Chen's. If we don't retaliate this time, who knows how he'll humiliate us next time! Europe must take a tough stance!"

The British representative said, "Of course we want the money back, but we can't just confront them head-on. We should negotiate with them. Perhaps we can align ourselves with the bald eagle on some international issues, or give up some international interests to the bald eagle in exchange for them unfreezing our accounts, or at least returning the principal to us."

The German Empire immediately retorted, "You cowards! Yang Chen said we have hawk phobia, and it's absolutely true! You suffer from severe hawk phobia! If you're afraid, then we Germans will lead the charge this time! We weren't afraid before, and we're not afraid now! France, don't surrender; Italy, don't hold us back; England, don't be traitors. We will win this time!"

It's clear that Germany still has the ambition to be the leader, and is afraid that its teammates will let them down.

Tusk quickly said, "Everyone, stop arguing. I'll give you half an hour to contact your families and get their opinions. After half an hour, we'll vote on what to do!"

In fact, the representatives from various countries already knew what the parents wanted before they came, but it would be better to contact and communicate with the families now, at least to let the parents know the attitudes of other countries, and then decide whether to change the strategy.

The half-hour deadline passed quickly, and it was time to vote.

Tusk shouted, "Everyone should have a decision by now. Arguing won't solve anything. Let's vote as usual, with the minority obeying the majority. Member states that agree to stand up to the bald eagle and get back our principal and operating profits in full, please raise your hands!"

Hardliners, led by Germany and France, immediately raised their hands in approval. Following their lead, other countries joined in, ultimately resulting in 18 representatives raising their hands in favor. Tusk then loudly proclaimed, "Those who oppose, please raise your hands!"

No one raised their hands.

This indicates that all the remaining representative countries abstained. They dared not confront the United States head-on, nor did they dare offend their big brothers in the European Union. Abstaining was the most appropriate choice.

It should be noted that England, a non-EU member state, also abstained, but they indicated they would accept the vote result.

Tusk shouted, "17 votes in favor, 10 against, the resolution is passed! We choose to stand up to the bald eagle and take back the money that belongs to us."

The EU also leveraged its position in Europe to rally other European countries to negotiate with the US.

All countries simultaneously summoned the bald eagle's ambassadors to their countries, demanding that the ambassadors immediately notify their families to unfreeze EU accounts, otherwise Europe would retaliate by freezing all of the bald eagle companies' accounts in Europe.

In an attempt to sow discord among bald eagles, the German government instructed environmental and animal protection organizations to stage demonstrations at the Tesla factory, protesting against the factory's environmental damage and animal abuse.

If Tesla does not resolve the issue, they have requested the German government to freeze Tesla's factory and all of Tesla's accounts.

Unsurprisingly, the US doesn't take Europe seriously at all. They think Europe is just all talk and wouldn't dare freeze their company's accounts and investments in Europe even if they had a hundred lives.

Monday, the Bald Eagle's regular press conference.

An AFP reporter asked, "The U.S. has always claimed to be a free, open, and democratic country, so why freeze money earned through legitimate business operations in Europe?"

The spokesperson replied with a smile: "We are allies with Europe. As allies, they actually took advantage of our difficulties and robbed us when we were in trouble. This clearly shows they don't consider us friends. Since they have betrayed us, we naturally have to teach them a lesson."

The reporter then asked, "But Yang Chen is working with Europe to create a white-headed eagle, so why don't you freeze Yang Chen's accounts? Is it because you're afraid of retaliation from Yang Chen and China?"

The spokesperson explained, "No, as you just said, Bald Eagle is a free and democratic market, and we welcome investors from all over the world to invest legally here. Yang Chen's operations are completely in compliance with our laws and regulations, so naturally we will not freeze his account."

That explanation left everyone present completely bewildered.

Yang Chen and Europe are both acting as a white-headed hawk, but Yang Chen's actions are considered legal and legitimate while Europe's are not. Is this kind of differential treatment so obvious?

A Reuters reporter couldn't take it anymore and immediately questioned, "Why? This is discrimination against Europe! The same operation is legal and compliant when Yang Chen does it, but illegal when Europe does it. Are you being hypocritical?"

The spokesperson explained, “No, as I just said, we froze the European accounts because they betrayed us; this is punishment for them. I didn’t say their actions were illegal. Yang Chen is not our ally; he didn’t betray us, so he doesn’t need to be punished. Since you’re all here, I now solemnly remind you to go back and tell your parents that our freezing of your accounts is reasonable and legal, but your actions against our companies under the guise of environmental protection are illegal and you must immediately stop this dangerous behavior. Otherwise, you Europeans will bear all the consequences. I’m speaking on behalf of the bald eagle; I’m not joking!”

"..."

The silence from everyone present was deafening.

European journalists couldn't take it anymore and, disregarding basic professional ethics, all began to protest.

"This is discrimination and insult against the people of Europe. We oppose your discriminatory treatment!"

"You've really gone too far. When BlackRock and those other Wall Street investment banks were doing business in Europe, why didn't you say they were betraying their allies? Now that we've done what you did to us, we're accused of betraying our allies?"

"We strongly protest and resolutely oppose your discrimination against Europe!"

……

The bald eagle spokesperson calmly stated, "Protest denied, next!"

The video of today's routine meeting quickly spread around the world, and netizens from all over the world were once again enjoying the spectacle.

White-headed Eagle netizen Smith: Europeans are incredibly audacious, daring to short our stock market! Don't they even look in the mirror and see if they're worthy?! Do they think our money is so easy to earn? Freezing your principal and profits is just a small punishment. If you dare to whine and cause trouble again, we'll increase the penalties. Last time Wall Street shorted Europe, Yang Chen helped you escape unscathed; now take this opportunity to accomplish what you couldn't last time!
A Russian netizen, Kirilenko, commented: "This once again proves that the bald eagle is a paper tiger, specializing in exploiting its allies. It also proves Yang Chen's greatness once more; he led Europe to become a blank eagle, and the bald eagle only dared to freeze Europe, not Yang Chen. The people of the world have once again seen the true face of the bald eagle. Let's see if you will still follow him and do bad things in the future."

A German netizen, Beves, commented: "The bald eagles are going too far. They only dare to bully us, not freeze Yang Chen's account, because they know freezing Yang Chen's account will have dire consequences. We in Europe are too weak. We should unite and become stronger, instead of remaining a disorganized mess. The whole world is watching. If we can't get our principal and profits back this time, we will become a laughingstock. How glorious our ancestors were, and how pathetic we are now."

French netizen Ribery: Seeing the mocking expression on the Bald Eagle spokesperson's face, I really felt it was incredibly insulting. Historically speaking, aren't Europeans the ancestors of the Bald Eagles? Didn't we French help the Bald Eagles gain independence? Is this how they repay us? If they can't get their money back this time, then the governments of European countries can just dissolve. What use are you then?
A Japanese netizen, Sakata Nikawa, commented: "Yang Chen is awesome! Yang Chen is the glory of Asians. The bald eagle would rather offend all of Europe than offend him, which shows how powerful he is."

South Korean netizen Kim Jae-seok: What kind of operation is this from the Bald Eagles? You've even taken down Europe, why don't you dare touch Yang Chen? Is Yang Chen stronger than the whole of Europe by himself? You guys are getting more and more useless; it's shameful to pay you to be bodyguards. You should freeze Yang Chen's account immediately, or we won't renew it next year.

Indian netizen Amy Han: Why are Koreans so hostile towards Yang Chen? Or rather, why are Koreans so hostile towards China? I always see you guys attacking them on foreign websites. It's a disgrace to be Asian alongside you Koreans. I suggest sending Korean girl groups to our country and sending all the men to Europe or America, so they won't stay in Asia and disgust us Asians.

The video of the bald eagle spokesperson humiliating Europe, along with comments from foreign websites, was quickly reposted by netizens on platforms such as TikTok.

Even the People's Daily and other media outlets reposted it. Of course, they weren't doing it to laugh at Europe, but to show everyone how awesome Yang Chen was.

"Boss Yang is awesome and ruthless. He's really put the bald eagle to his mercy. They dare to take over Europe, but they don't dare to touch Boss Yang's account."

"Seeing the Europeans so vulnerable, I suddenly felt a little sorry for them. They always follow the bald eagle with all their might, only to end up like this. The words of the bald eagle spokesperson, and the expression on her face, make it seem like she doesn't even consider Europeans human beings."

"Boss Yang must have made a fortune again this time. His employees are in luck; Boss Yang will definitely give them benefits again. I'm such a useless piece of trash; I failed the exam three times. No way, I have to go to Jiangcheng, rent a place, and study the recruitment exam tricks of the Four Pests Group. I have to pass the exam."

……

Netizens also left comments praising Yang Chen in the comment section of her Weibo post.

"Boss Yang is awesome! Keep it up, he's really making us proud!"

"You make a fortune in industry, and another in the stock market. Boss Yang is truly amazing. Even the printing press can't keep up with the speed at which you make money."

"Mr. Yang, if you can help the EU get the money back at this time, you can become a legend in the world."

……

Yang Chen was currently playing in the pool with 10 girls and didn't have time to pay attention to anything online.

I don't have any particular hobbies in this life, except for being a womanizer, which is my only male trait.

Some busybodies reposted the comments from Chinese netizens to foreign websites, and when Europeans saw those teasing and even mocking comments, they instantly lost their temper.

Foreigners take to the streets when they're unhappy; it's a tradition for them.

They are very unhappy now, so naturally they want to go out on the streets again.

Germany.

"Protest against the bald eagles not treating us like human beings!"

"Protest against the bald eagle freezing our accounts!"

"We must stand firm! The Germans will never admit defeat!"

……

france.

"France will never surrender again!"

"Reciprocal freezing of Bald Eagle assets!"

"If we can't get our money back, the authorities should just disband!"
