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

Chapter 239 The Second Counter-Harvest of the Bald Eagle: CIA Agents Deployed
Yang Chen's principle is that he should never take as little advantage as possible.

If the EU had directly asked Yang Chen for help, 300 billion Eagle Dollars might have been feasible.

However, despite their best efforts, Europe was unable to stop the stock market decline. Now, with nowhere else to turn, they are asking Yang Chen for help, but this amount of money is not enough.

This is only natural. Anyone would ask for an exorbitant price if they were in the EU with no other options. This is the EU's only hope, and they have to give whatever they ask for.

Yang Chen immediately said, "Please don't make things difficult for me. I'm not 100% sure this time. If I fail, I'll break my invincible record. You have to understand that my personal brand influence is priceless. As long as I remain invincible, whether I go long or short, other investors will follow me. Once I break my invincible record, I won't have such a strong appeal anymore. How can a mere 300 billion Eagle Coins make up for that loss? I don't want to take the risk. I'm begging you, please don't make things difficult for me this time."

Tusk immediately said, "A 99% win rate is already very high, Mr. Yang, don't pursue a perfect 100% win rate. How about this, we'll add a little more: we'll reduce Mr. Yang's debt by 500 billion Eagle Dollars, and Mr. Yang will help us liquidate the short positions in Bald Eagle. Is that alright?"

Based on the scale of the short selling by the Bald Eagles, and without considering that they will continue to increase margin to hold on, they will lose approximately 2000 billion euros if the 50% liquidation line is reached.

If the bald hawks continue to increase margin in an attempt to hold out until European stock markets fall, their losses will be more than 2000 billion euros.

So, is it a pipe dream for Europe to think it can save its stock market with only 500 billion peso and also reap so much money from the bald eagle?

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I'm a professional investor; I understand data and calculations. If I can help you preserve the European stock market this time, and at the same time wipe out the short positions of the White Eagle, you'll directly profit hundreds of billions of euros. Reduce my debt by 500 billion Eagle dollars, and let me risk losing my invincible status to help you stabilize the stock market while earning at least 2000 billion euros from the White Eagle. Do you think that's reasonable?"

Tusk laughed heartily and said, "I knew Mr. Yang had a price in mind. So, tell me, how much?"

"Ignoring the possibility that the Bald Eagles will increase margin to hold on, if their current short positions are forcibly liquidated, they will directly lose 2000 billion euros, and I will take half of that. If they continue to increase margin to hold on, their additional losses will benefit the people of Europe, and I will not take a share. I don't want any money from you; it will be deducted from the money you lent me. Only at this price is it worth the risk for me to take a chance; otherwise, I wouldn't consider making a move," Yang Chen said.

Tusk replied without hesitation: "Sure! No problem! We'll sign the agreement immediately, and you get to work right away!"

It's clear that the EU is truly desperate; they're willing to agree to any deal, no matter the cost, as long as it's a worthwhile transaction for them.

Sihai Investment signed an electronic agreement with the EU, and then Yang Chen took action.

Yang Chen posted a Weibo post, making good use of his personal influence.

"The bald eagles are shameless. If you want to short Europe, then short it. Why are you trying to sow discord between me and Europe? Do you think you can sow discord between me and Europe with just a few words? I think Europe has a bright future. The stock market is not at its peak yet. There is still at least 50% upside potential. I have decided to continue to increase my holdings in European stocks. Let's wait and see."

Yang Chen's Weibo post was reposted on foreign websites and translated into dozens of languages ​​for foreigners to read.

Netizens from various countries have left comments condemning the bald eagle.

A German netizen commented: "The bald eagle is despicable! They actually dared to try and sow discord between us and Yang Chen. Do you think you can so easily mess with our relationship with Yang Chen? Yang Chen is going to continue to drive up our stock market. Let's see what your short positions do."

A French netizen commented: "Great, we can harvest the Bald Eagles' profits again. I really can't understand the thought process of the Bald Eagle's top management. Knowing that we have a close relationship with Yang Chen, how dare they short us again? Thanks to Yang Chen for always standing by our side. Long live the friendship between China and Europe!"

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Damn Yang Chen, why does he always have to stand against us? Can't he just agree with us? I can't understand the thinking of those idiots on Wall Street either. They clearly made a lot of money by buying at the bottom, and they know that Yang Chen has a good relationship with Europe, so why did they still short sell? Now look what happened, they didn't even get the money they made, and they even have to lose some of their principal."

A South Korean netizen commented: "No offense to you, but how come such a powerful country like yours couldn't handle Yang Chen alone? What are you so afraid of? If we were you, Yang Chen would be three meters tall by now. You're utterly incompetent; it's shameful to have you as our bodyguards."

An Indian netizen commented: "If Wall Street gets fleeced again this time, the myth of Wall Street capital will be completely shattered. No one will think Wall Street is powerful anymore, and no one will think that the United States is a financial superpower."

Soon, the top executives of the US and the bigwigs on Wall Street all knew that Yang Chen was going to help Europe fight back against Wall Street's exploitation.

If we are repeatedly exploited, it will be very embarrassing.

The White House held another emergency meeting, attended by senior executives and presidents of major Wall Street investment banks.

The top brass wanted to know if Yang Chen could push the European stock market up again, and how long Wall Street's short positions could hold.

Goldman Sachs President Winterkorn stated, "According to our forecasts, European stock markets can rise by a maximum of 10%, which is close to historical highs. At that point, there will definitely be a large number of profit-taking positions. Therefore, we can withstand a European stock market correction, or even a sharp drop, by increasing our margin by a maximum of 10%. I admit that Yang Chen is very capable, but one person can absolutely control the entire European stock market. We are certain that we will succeed in shorting this time, at least with a 99% certainty."

BlackRock President Manny Pacquiao said, "Theoretically, that's true, but Yang Chen's operations can't be deduced from common sense. If his operations were reasonable, he wouldn't succeed every time. Actually, I don't really agree with everyone deliberately not following Yang Chen's plan for the sake of so-called face... Sigh... Never mind, I won't say anymore."

JPMorgan Chase CEO Pinto said, "We're sure to win this time, so why not? We desperately need a chance to redeem ourselves, and this is our best chance. Don't be too anxious, we have ample funds to replenish our margin, and we're sure to win this time."

To some extent, the bald eagles have a gambler's mentality now. They feel that when the opportunity comes, they must go all in to win back everything they have lost before.

Yang Chen poured all 4500 billion euros in his account into the European stock market. He bought as much as the bald eagle sold, reigniting the bullish enthusiasm of retail investors and institutions. Stock markets across Europe rose across the board, with most sectors gaining more than 10% in less than half an hour.

This point generally touched the historical highs of European stock markets. However, the correction and sharp drop predicted by Wall Street bigwigs did not come. Instead, stock markets in various countries broke through their historical highs one after another and continued to rise.

The Wall Street bigwigs were stunned. Something was wrong. Their expertise and centuries of accumulated experience had completely failed them at this moment.

Goldman Sachs President Martin Winterkorn said, "How could this be? This doesn't conform to theoretical knowledge, and it completely contradicts our century-long experience. How could it break through the all-time high without any pullback?"

BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao said, "I've said before that you can't think about Yang Chen's trading using normal logic. We've suffered so many losses, and you still haven't learned your lesson. You're about to hit the liquidation line, and you're going to increase your margin to hold on?"

Vanguard President Barclay said, "Although I also feel that we'll likely get thrashed again this time, I don't know how you guys feel about being forced out with a draw, but I'm definitely not happy about it. Fuck! It's so contradictory, I feel unwilling to accept it, but I also feel like we'll lose. Sigh..."

JPMorgan Chase CEO Pinto said, "Don't be discouraged, everyone cheer up. We've already broken all-time highs, everyone's making money. If we create a little crisis to scare retail and institutional investors, they'll definitely sell and cash out, and European stock markets will inevitably fall!"

"Yes, that's a good idea," said Reventon of the Department of Commerce of the United States. "Previously, when the B2 flew around, the European stock market would plummet. Let's use the old method and have the B2 fly around Europe again."

Without hesitation, the spokesperson for the Bald Eagle made some threatening remarks to Europe at a press conference, as instructed by higher-ups.

"After careful consideration, we have decided to launch a military strike against Europe. Three B-2 bombers will patrol the European coast again at noon today. If we sense any threat, we will open fire and destroy the target directly."

A Reuters reporter asked: "You always use this method to threaten other countries. Do you really think it's appropriate?"
The Bald Eagle spokesperson replied, "There's nothing wrong with that! Of course, we must take a tough stance against individuals or countries that harm our interests. Our shorting of Europe this time must succeed; we cannot afford to fail again. If we fail, then we'll have no choice but to go to war to reclaim the benefits we deserve."

An AFP reporter asked, "You're trying to scare investors away from European stock markets this way, not because you really want war. Is that right?" A Bald Eagle spokesperson replied, "You can interpret it as you see fit. But our stance is either we succeed in shorting, or we go to war to reclaim our rightful profits. The choice is up to the European countries."

The bald eagle always does such despicable things. If it weren't for its powerful military strength, people all over the world would have condemned it long ago.

Soon, the video of the bald eagle spokesperson spread widely on online platforms, and European stock markets were indeed slightly affected, turning from an upward trend to a sideways trend.

Tusk called Yang Chen again.

“Mr. Yang, the bald eagle is threatening us again. They’re about to send another B-2 to patrol our coastline. I’ve checked the major trading markets, and they’re all trading sideways. It seems a lot of people are worried that the bald eagle will really attack us. What should we do now?” Tusk asked.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Using the same trick all the time is getting old. Don't worry, the sideways movement is just to digest this negative news. It will continue to rise after it's digested. The whole world knows that the US doesn't dare to go to war with a major power. It doesn't have the courage or the strength to take on Europe alone. It's just empty talk to scare investors. If you politicians can't even understand this, then you're really incompetent. Their ships don't dare to approach Europe. Do you think they can control you with B2s? That's a joke. They're nothing special. You should be more confident."

Tusk said with a smile, "Mr. Yang's words always give people confidence and courage, so let's ignore the bald eagles and wait for their short positions to be liquidated."

"That's right. Be patient, they'll soon be unable to hold on and face forced liquidation," Yang Chen said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Tusk immediately conveyed Yang Chen's commitment to representatives of EU member states via video conference.

"Everyone should refrain from commenting on the Bald Eagle's remarks and patiently wait for Mr. Yang to wipe out their short positions," Tusk said.

The German representative said, "I have never doubted Mr. Yang's abilities, nor have I ever thought that the Bald Eagle would really dare to start a war with us."

The Italian representative stated, "I consulted professional investment advisors, who said that European stock markets have all broken historical highs and need a significant correction to digest profit-taking. In other words, from a professional perspective, European stock markets lack the theoretical basis for continued growth. Realistically speaking, with the 'bald eagle' making such a scare tactic, many investors will definitely choose to cash out. We believe that the 'bald eagle's' short selling will definitely succeed this time, and it will be difficult for Yang Chen to reverse the situation on his own."

The French representative immediately retorted, "Your opinions are not relevant and can be ignored. If Mr. Yang can lead us to victory once, he can lead us to victory again. Let's all remain silent for a few days and patiently wait for the results."

After trading sideways for more than two hours, European stock markets resumed their upward trend, meaning the three B-2 bombers flew for nothing, a complete waste of fuel.

At the same time, China's five major banks joined the ranks of those going long on European stocks, investing over 3000 billion euros to quickly boost the indices of major European trading markets, wiping out the short positions of the US stock market in just half an hour.

Wall Street quickly replenished their margin, determined to hold on until the very end.

After the European stock market closed, BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao called Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, please have mercy. We can’t afford to lose this time. Please stop now, okay?” Pacquiao said.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Don't joke around. We've invested so much money and made such a big show of it, and you're telling me to back down? You need to save face, and I need to build my reputation. You can't afford to lose, and neither can I. You're not convinced? Then I'll defeat you again in the same way. If you're still not convinced, I'll continue to defeat you until you are. I won't ask you to 'cede territory and pay reparations,' I only ask that you compete with me fairly."

Pacquiao quickly replied, "We can meet Mr. Yang's demands, but this time we have to win."

"Didn't you hear what I just said? I'll beat you until you submit, I'm not negotiating with you. Do you understand now?" Yang Chen said.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Pacquiao asked, his tone becoming somewhat unfriendly.

Yang Chen remained calm as always, and replied with a smile, "There is no room for negotiation. Only one side can win, and the other side must lose!"

Pacquiao said, "Okay! I got it."

Pacquiao immediately hung up the phone and relayed Yang Chen's words to the higher-ups.

That very night, the CIA's special agent team set off with only one mission: to eliminate Yang Chen at all costs.

The next day, European stock markets opened and saw another surge.

Two hours after the market opened, the short positions held by Bald Eagle after increasing margin triggered the liquidation line again.

At this point, the heads of major investment banks knew that there was no point in struggling anymore; continuing to add margin would only result in further losses.

Therefore, the heads of various investment banks came to the White House and advised that they should immediately stop short selling to avoid further losses.

Another hysterical outburst of angry shouts came from the president's office.

"Fuck! That damn Yang Chen, how did he do that? How can he still make the European stock market keep rising in this situation? This kind of person is terrifying. If he continues to live, he will be a huge threat to us. He must die. Tell the CIA that no matter the cost, they must take him down. I will not allow him to live to the end of the year!"

It's clear that the Bald Eagles are really desperate after this defeat and have lost their minds.

At 23 p.m., Yang Chen was getting ready to go to sleep when Tusk called him.

"Haha... Mr. Yang, I just received a report from the brokerage that the short positions on Wall Street have been wiped out and are now being forcibly liquidated. Haha... We've won again!" Tusk said excitedly.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Giving up so quickly? I thought they would keep increasing their margin and fight back. We beat the Bald Eagles twice together, are you still afraid of them now?"

Tusk laughed heartily and said, "The Bald Eagles are nothing but a paper tiger, all bark and no bite. With Mr. Yang as our ally, we are not afraid of them at all. Mr. Yang has helped us a great deal again, and on behalf of the people of Europe, I thank you. Our promise to reduce your debt by 1000 billion euros is now officially fulfilled. You still owe us 1500 billion euros and 1000 billion Eagle dollars. Don't rush to pay it back; you can use it for a while longer."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Yes. You can ask for it back when you need it, don't feel embarrassed. Now there's a problem. European stock markets have indeed risen too much, almost everyone is making money. We can't keep using our own money to prevent them from falling. So, I suggest we take advantage of the trend and short the market again, so that stock markets in various countries can adjust to reasonable levels."

Tusk smiled and said, "No problem, we'll follow Mr. Yang's arrangements. However, I need to confirm with the brokerage that all of Bald Eagle's short positions have been liquidated before we can take advantage of the situation to short the market and wait for a correction."

"Haha... Mr. Tusk is very cautious. Let's do it this way, let's short it again and make a profit." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Yang Chen's methods are brilliant. Both of them made money by shorting Europe, but the Europeans were repeatedly fleeced, while Yang Chen made Europeans willingly cooperate with him to make money by shorting Europe twice.
