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

Chapter 240 MVP Settlement Time, Free Education for Employees' Children Ahead of Schedule!
Europe is naturally eager to publicize its second victory against Wall Street's exploitation.

Tusk announced the results of the second anti-harvest operation at an EU press conference.

"Yesterday, all short positions opened on Wall Street were forcibly liquidated because the margin was not replenished in time after hitting the liquidation line for the second time. According to data provided by brokerages, Wall Street made a total profit of 2500 billion euros by buying the dip in European stocks, but subsequently lost a total of 3500 billion euros by shorting European stocks. This means that Wall Street investment banks suffered a net loss of 1000 billion euros in this operation of European stocks. Investors all over the world made money in Europe, but only the shrewd Wall Street lost money here."

"Here, on behalf of the EU, I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Yang Chen. It is thanks to his help that we have been able to successfully counter-harvest twice. We are very fortunate to have an ally like Mr. Yang Chen, and we will do our utmost to maintain good relations between the two sides in the future. To thank Mr. Yang Chen for his help to the people of Europe, the EU has decided to exempt all products manufactured by Mr. Yang Chen's companies from tariffs. We welcome Mr. Yang Chen to bring his company's high-quality and affordable products to Europe for our people to enjoy. We also welcome Mr. Yang Chen to invest in Europe, and we will provide him with all the preferential policies we can."

"Finally, I want to say that all hegemonism is a paper tiger. As long as we bravely resist, they are nothing but a threat. I hope that the people of Europe will no longer fear any hegemonism. We can unite with friendly people like Mr. Yang Chen who possess internationalist spirit to fight against hegemonism. I declare that the people of Europe have stood up, and no one can threaten or intimidate us anymore!"

The European journalists at the scene immediately clapped and cheered excitedly. They had been waiting for this day for too long, and their "fear of eagles" that had plagued them for many years was finally cured.

Tusk's speech video quickly spread around the world, and netizens from various countries expressed their comments.

A Chinese netizen commented: "Boss Yang is awesome. He made money off them, and they still have to thank him."

A German netizen commented: "Mr. Yang Chen has helped us achieve the strategic autonomy that the European people have always wanted. Mr. Yang Chen has cured the European people's century-long fear of bald eagles. From now on, the European people have stood up. We will decide our international relations according to our own will and will never again be coerced by the bald eagle."

A French netizen commented: "This is the meaning of our efforts. Now that we have achieved this great goal, all our hard work has not been in vain. France has fully opened up to Mr. Yang Chen, and we hope that other European countries can follow suit. Only by cooperating with Mr. Yang Chen can we bring benefits to our own people. Our citizens are already driving Xingchen cars that can travel throughout France from east to west and north to south. Soon, Xingchen International will also begin operations, allowing our cancer patients to enjoy the world's most advanced and effective treatments without having to leave the country."

An Italian netizen commented: "It proves that choosing the right partner is really important. Partnering with the bald eagle means going hungry nine days out of three, and constantly being exploited by them. Partnering with Mr. Yang Chen, on the other hand, means he will help us fight back against unfairness and teach us the principles of fair competition. Come on, we are ready to compete fairly with Mr. Yang Chen and see who develops better."

A netizen from Japan commented: "If this were over a hundred years ago, the current situation in Europe would be like the Qing Dynasty signing unequal treaties with Western powers to develop ports and markets. The unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty are considered a historical disgrace by the Chinese people, who constantly strive to erase this shame. However, it's truly incomprehensible that Europeans take pride in them. Yang Chen is indeed terrifyingly powerful; he obtained spoils of war that previously required thousands of troops to conquer, all through his own abilities without firing a single shot."

A South Korean netizen commented: "I don't understand what Europeans are so happy about. What's wrong with being allies with a powerful country like the US? They should learn from us in this regard. We can manage the relationship very well, making the US obediently act as our bodyguard, and no one dares to mess with us. Also, do you really think that Yang Chen alone can truly defy the will of the US? That's too naive! The US is so powerful; let alone one person, even an entire country couldn't handle it. Just watch, the US will definitely make further moves."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: Congratulations to the people of Europe for awakening and finally realizing the importance of independence. Any hegemony is a paper tiger; don't be intimidated by its appearance. You can easily expose it by simply touching it. We discovered this secret years ago. Furthermore, I suggest that South Korea secede from Asia and join the Americas. We in Asia don't need a country with your servile mentality. Even our brotherly countries, ravaged by war for years, don't willingly submit to enslavement like you. They fight desperately, regardless of the sacrifices they make, while you constantly promote yourselves online as the only developed country in Asia, with the strongest military in Asia, yet your minds are filled with servile thinking—it's truly disgusting. I suggest you consult Mr. Yang Chen and see if he can prescribe some remedies to cure your servile disease.

At this moment, the top executives of the Bald Eagle family were having another meeting.

"Fuck! That bastard Tusk, why did he hold a press conference specifically to say all this? Does he really want to break with us? Does he really think we wouldn't dare to touch Europe?"

"Isn't that right? The whole world knows that if we get involved in another war with a middle-powered country, we will completely lose our world leadership position, and our country might even fall apart. Everyone knows we can't really touch Europe, so why would they be afraid?"

"Ultimately, it's all Yang Chen's fault. He not only repeatedly ripped off our stock market, but he also helped Europe retaliate twice, making us lose face in front of the world. He must take full responsibility for the current situation and pay the price! How's the CIA doing? Has the team they sent to China arrived yet?"

"They've just entered the Dragon Kingdom and are now disguised as ordinary tourists, converging on Jiangcheng from all directions. They are all experts who have carried out the highest-level assassination plans, and they are all prepared not to return. This time they will definitely succeed. Yang Chen won't live much longer. Let the whole world see what happens when you go against us."

At this time, in the Dragon Kingdom.

Yang Chen posted a Weibo post.

"Please don't misunderstand, I treat all foreign friends equally. I don't deliberately favor anyone, nor do I intentionally oppose anyone. The EU is on good terms with me, so naturally I will extend goodwill to them as well. The bald eagle brought this upon itself; let them do what they want. They shouldn't try to sow discord between me and the EU, otherwise I wouldn't have had to reap their losses a second time. The recent surge in European stock markets has been too large; even as a professional trader, I'm a little scared. I suggest everyone prepare for risk management and be wary of a sudden and significant market correction."

Global investors, seeing Yang Chen's warning that European stock markets were about to undergo a deep correction, hurriedly sold off their holdings.

European stock markets plummeted, losing more than 20 points in a single day.

The Wall Street giants were furious when they saw this scene and started cursing.

Goldman Sachs CEO Martin Winterkorn slammed down his ashtray and cursed, "Fuck! Fuck! That bastard Yang Chen must have opened short positions in advance. He pretended to warn everyone that European stock markets were about to enter a correction, but in reality, he was inducing everyone to sell and short, thus achieving his goal of shorting. This move is too ruthless. We tried everything to short and failed, but he succeeded with just one Weibo post."

JPMorgan Chase CEO Pinto angrily stated, "We shouldn't have admitted defeat; we should have just increased our margin and held on."

BlackRock President Manny Pacquiao said, "Don't dream about it. Do you believe that if we choose to continue holding on, European stocks will rise another 30%, or even more? You need to understand one thing: it was Yang Chen who wanted to short the market, which caused the European stock market to correct, not the other way around. Do you understand the difference? Although both are corrections in the European stock market, the nature of these two situations is completely different."

Vanguard President Barkley said with an admiring look, "If God really exists in this world, then he must be Yang Chen. Otherwise, I really can't find any reason to explain why Yang Chen is so magical. Based on our rich theoretical knowledge and a century of accumulated experience, we judged that the European stock market could not start a second wave of growth, but Yang Chen said it could rise, and it did. So all our years of experience and theoretical knowledge were wrong?"

Seeing that European stock markets had indeed experienced a significant correction, netizens in China flooded Yang Chen's Weibo comment section with discussions.

"The bald eagle tried everything to short Europe, even deploying B2 aircraft, but failed and was fleeced for the second time. One Weibo post from Mr. Yang caused a sharp drop in European stock markets. That's reputation."

"Holy crap, a single Weibo post sent European stock markets into a deep correction? If I had that kind of influence, I could be making money hand over fist. I could just post on Weibo saying I'm bullish on Europe if I wanted to go long, and say it's risen too much and needs a correction if I wanted to go short. Tsk tsk tsk, if making money this easily, who would bother to work hard in real industries?"

“I’m really happy that Mr. Yang has made a lot of money this time. But the thought that he will use the money to improve the benefits for his employees makes me feel worse than if I were killed. I have no other requests, I just hope that Mr. Yang will not increase the benefits for his employees this time. I’m really envious.”

"What benefits will Mr. Yang bring to his employees next? Will he make education free and start the fall semester instead of next spring?"

Other bosses: "Work hard, and by the end of the year I'll buy another Mercedes and keep another mistress." Boss Yang: "Work hard, and when I make money from foreigners, I'll come back and increase your benefits." That's real vision. No wonder Boss Yang makes so much money.

European stock markets need a correction, but they can't fall too much.

Stock markets around the world generally fell by about 30%. Yang Chen immediately closed his short positions and at the same time bought a small amount of stock to stabilize the market, preventing it from falling further and only allowing it to rise steadily.

After working so hard for so long, it was finally time for the MVP assessment. Near the end of the workday, Zhao Jing, president of Sihai Investment, brought Chen Chao, investment department manager, to Yang Chen's office to report on their work.

This strategy of going long on Europe and then shorting Europe resulted in a total profit of 2028.95 billion euros for Sihai Investment and 334.65 billion euros for Yang Chen's personal funds.

Yang Chen helped White Eagle make money by going long on Europe, and Sihai Investment received a debt relief of 620 billion Eagle Dollars. Now Sihai Investment still owes Wall Street 2380 billion Eagle Dollars.

Yang Chen helped Europe successfully reverse Wall Street's fortunes for the second time, and Sihai Investment received a debt relief of 1000 billion euros. Sihai Investment still owes Europe 1500 billion euros and 1000 billion Eagle dollars.

Currently, Sihai Investment's available funds are mainly divided into three parts:

The first part is 4895.68 billion euros, of which 1500 billion euros are liabilities.

The second part is 6438.45 billion Eagle Dollars, of which 2380 billion Eagle Dollars are liabilities.

The third part is 6523.56 billion Dragon Coins, of which 3545.56 billion are the principal and interest of the Xingli series wealth management products purchased by customers.

Other currencies, such as Hong Kong Coin, Sakura Coin, and Korean Coin, are worth a total of approximately 2045.65 billion Dragon Coins.

Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Give all employees of Sihai Investment six months' salary as a mid-year bonus. Distribute it when you pay salaries next month."

Zhao Jing asked, "Is the year-end bonus being paid out so early?"

“It’s a mid-year bonus, not an end-of-year bonus,” Yang Chen replied.

Zhao Jing carefully considered Yang Chen's words and asked in return, "What's the difference? Aren't your earlier year-end bonus and your later year-end bonus the same?"

Yang Chen rolled his eyes at Zhao Jing and said, "It's only June now, what year-end bonus am I going to give out? Besides, even if I were to give out a year-end bonus, I couldn't possibly only give you six months' salary. I'm talking about the mid-year bonus, the 'mid' part."

Zhao Jing laughed heartily and said, "Oh, right? I thought it was the end. No, who gives out mid-year bonuses? Are they giving out employee benefits again?"

Yang Chen nodded and replied, "We can't spend all this money, so let's give everyone some benefits. Summer vacation is coming soon, so I think we should start the free education benefit for the employees' children right away, before we have to wait for next year's annual report."

Yang Chen called Chen Xi over and instructed her on how to issue the announcement.

Soon after, Sihai Group, along with all its subsidiaries and other companies in Yang Chen's group, simultaneously released announcements.

"According to Mr. Yang Chen's instructions, employees of Sihai Group and other companies controlled by Mr. Yang Chen who have worked for a full year since Mr. Yang Chen took over the company and have no criminal record during that period are entitled to have their children's tuition fees reimbursed from kindergarten to university. Only public schools are reimbursed; private and elite schools are not covered, and overseas study requires approval before reimbursement."

"In principle, each child can choose up to five extracurricular classes per year, free of charge, according to their own wishes. Our company will determine the partner institutions for these classes as soon as possible, so that children can choose their favorite classes before the summer vacation. To address the issues of left-behind children and children who cannot attend school due to poor academic performance, Sihai Group will subsequently build kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, senior high schools, and universities, and will select outstanding teachers to teach there. Sihai University will offer disciplines such as artificial intelligence and life sciences, as well as technical training. According to Chairman Yang's vision, outstanding graduates of Sihai University will be able to directly enter various positions within Sihai Group in the future. The future is bright, and we look forward to it together."

No boss has ever provided such employee benefits since the dawn of humanity. This policy of fully reimbursing education expenses instantly went viral online, and the topic "Boss Yang provides free education for his employees' children" quickly became a trending topic across the internet.

"See, see, I knew Boss Yang would be increasing employee benefits again. It's very likely that he'll be bringing forward the free education program. I was right."

"The boss of other people's companies is like this: medical reimbursement, education reimbursement, and even building schools for employees' children to take in if they are worried that their grades are not good enough. Tsk tsk tsk, this is not a boss, even a biological father would not be this good."

"Now I finally understand why foreigners have such good welfare benefits. Their ancestors plundered resources from all over the world to enjoy themselves, so of course they have good welfare benefits. Now, Boss Yang is harvesting wealth from foreigners to increase employee benefits, which is exactly the same trick. However, foreigners' ancestors relied on war and plunder, while Boss Yang earns money legally through real skills. There is a big difference in essence."

"I'm not going to say anything more. I'm going to sell my house, buy a house in Jiangcheng, and settle down there. Then I'll study how to get a job at Sihai Group. Once I get into Sihai Group, my family's life will be stable, and my child's education and future employment will most likely be solved."

"It's so hard to become Mr. Yang's employee now, the competition is fierce. Last time they were recruiting a chef, there were more than 6000 chefs competing for the position. Holy crap, even the civil service exam has a much higher acceptance rate than that."

"To put it bluntly, unless your family has some connections and can get you promoted, ordinary civil servants are not as comfortable as Mr. Yang's employees. It's normal for the competition to be fierce."

……

Without hesitation, Yang Chen applied to the relevant departments the very next day to establish an education group, aiming to run a complete system from kindergarten to university.

Yang Chen has millions of employees. If he were to get involved in education, the education of millions of children would not have to be borne by the state, saving hundreds of millions of yuan every year. Naturally, the relevant departments approved it without hesitation.

At 9:00 AM, the official account of the Four Pests Group posted a new update, and also tagged the newly registered Sihai Education Group.

"Let me introduce a new member of the Sihai Group, @Sihai Education Group. We provide a one-stop service from kindergarten to university, and we deliver on our promises."

Sihai Education Group reposted this Weibo post and greeted everyone.

"Hello everyone, we're new here, please take good care of us. We will strictly follow Chairman Yang's requirements to select excellent teachers to educate the children. Even if their academic knowledge is not up to par, we will provide them with an opportunity to learn a skill. Children, please don't give up on yourselves just because you're not good at academic subjects. Having a skill can also support your family. We hope that every child will live up to Chairman Yang's expectations and become a useful person to their family and society. At the very least, they should be able to support themselves instead of relying on their parents or waiting for the government to feed them. Please believe that 'everyone has their own unique talents,' and no one is born useless. We will share updates on school construction and enrollment from time to time, so please follow us!"
