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

Chapter 251 Italy Returns 56 Cultural Relics, Yang Chen Joins Forces with Wall Street to Short India

It seems that India is making a large-scale harvest this time, not just targeting Sihai Mobile.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Don't even mention it. My 40 billion yuan has also been frozen by India. I just spoke with their Ministry of Commerce and asked them to unfreeze it for me as soon as possible, otherwise I'll have to deal with them."

Luo Jun quickly said, "What? They even dare to freeze your funds! How can the Indians be so bold?"

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Who knows? I don't care if they cheat other countries, but I won't stand for them to cheat our Dragon Country Company. Leave this to me, I will definitely get our money back."

Luo Jun said happily, "Okay! I'll leave this to Chairman Yang. I'll treat Chairman Yang to dinner in Jiangcheng when I have time to express my gratitude."

"Haha... Okay, I'll wait for you to come and treat me to dinner," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhao Yongping, president of VAVO mobile phones, also called Yang Chen.

"Chairman Yang, hello, hello, I'm Zhao Yongping, president of VAVO mobile phones. Help! I need your help urgently!" Zhao Yongping said.

Yang Chen asked, "Holy crap, you didn't get ripped off by those Indians too, did you?"

Zhao Yongping said, "Huh? How did you know? Holy crap, they didn't take you down too, did they? Are those Indians really that brave?"

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "It seems that India is targeting companies in our country. Not only is my 40 billion frozen, but the 48 billion in rice has also been frozen. How much of yours has been frozen?"

Zhao Yongping replied, "Not only was 30 billion frozen, but the Indians also forced me to sell my company to the Tata Group for a pittance. Damn it, I've never seen such a shameless country; everyone from top to bottom is a freak. President Luo, did you also ask Chairman Yang for help?"

"Yeah. I just hung up the phone," Yang Chen replied.

Zhao Yongping quickly said, "That's perfect. Chairman Yang, please help us out too. After it's done, I'll give Chairman Yang a thank-you fee of 5 million."

"Haha... I'll try my best," Yang Chen said.

Zhao Yongping said happily, "With Chairman Yang's words, I'm relieved. Then I won't bother Chairman Yang any longer. I'll contact you again if there are any new developments."

Yang Chen had just hung up the phone and taken a sip of water when Duan Hongji, the CEO of MicroPort Manufacturing Company, called again.

"Hello, Chairman Yang, this is Duan Hongji, the CEO of MicroPort Manufacturing Company," Duan Hongji said.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Duan, what can I do for you?"

Duan Hongji quickly replied, "Oh dear, Chairman Yang, this is a real lifesaver! We're being forced to sell our factory in India to the Tata Group. I've tried everything, but the Indian government is determined to make us sell to them. We've invested over a billion Indian dollars, and now Tata is offering only 1.2 million to acquire it. Tell me, what's the difference between this and outright robbery?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Damn, the Indians have really mastered the 'fatten up before killing' strategy. Not only do they want your factory, but they've also frozen over 10 billion yuan in funds from my Sihai Mobile, DaMi Mobile, and Vavo Mobile companies. Vavo was even forced to sell to the Tata Group at a bargain price. Luo Jun and Zhao Yongping just called me, asking me to help them get their money back."

"Huh? Is India planning to wipe out all the electronics manufacturing companies in China? Damn, they've got quite the appetite! Chairman Yang, please help us out, considering we're all Chinese companies. Either India never sets its sights on my factory again, or they buy it for 15 billion Eagle Dollars. If this goes through, I'll give you 1 million Eagle Dollars as a reward," Duan Hongji said.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "We are all Chinese, and I will definitely protect the interests of my compatriots. I will do my best to help you and will absolutely not let the Indians take away our assets."

Duan Yongji said happily, "With Chairman Yang's words, I feel at ease. It's settled then. We'll contact you again if anything comes up. Thank you, Chairman Yang."

Yang Chen hung up the phone and sent a message to Guo Hu.

"Notify the guys over there in India to keep an eye on the heads of the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant departments. This is probably going to be a big deal. Also, remind the guys over there to be careful."

Guo Hu replied quickly.

"Understood! I will remind them to do their work carefully and to be careful."

Yang Chen had just relaxed for a moment when Chen Xi knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman Yang, Mayor Huang called to say that the Italian delegation's chartered plane has arrived at Jiangcheng Airport and is expected to arrive here at 1 p.m. He told us to prepare, as reporters from all over the world will be following and reporting on the entire process. We still need to do our part to make a good impression and send some staff to welcome them."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "You can make the arrangements. Just call me when it's time."

Chen Xi quickly replied, "Okay. I'll arrange it right away."

Upon learning that the Italian delegation's first stop was the Sihai Group, media from various countries rushed over.

Media outlets such as Sun TV will also broadcast the Italian delegation's visit to the Sihai Group live worldwide.

At 1:10 p.m., the Italian delegation arrived at the Sihai Group.

Yang Chen greeted them at the company entrance, shook hands with the Italian Prime Minister, and took photos and videos for the reporters.

Besides visiting the Sihai Group, the most important thing for the Italian delegation was to hand over the list of cultural relics they brought to Yang Chen.

These cultural relics have been handed over to the Palace Museum for collection, but the Italian side insisted on handing over the receipt list to Yang Chen in order to show their respect for him. It can be seen that they are really afraid of Yang Chen.

At this moment, the chat in the TikTok live stream is filled with comments.

"Italy is as docile as a lamb in front of Yang Chen. It's clear they're truly terrified of him. Who would have thought that China could make Italy obediently return the artifacts without firing a single shot?"

"The only value of these cultural relics abroad is to remind people all over the world how despicable the Western powers are. Returning them to China is like returning them to their rightful owner, and we hope to repair the relationship between China and Western countries."

"Foolish! We have many artifacts in the British Museum that we will not return. What we have taken is ours. Moreover, these are the glory of our ancestors, a constant reminder of our past splendor. Italy's behavior is shameful, tantamount to betraying our ancestors."

"Damn it, still dreaming of the British Empire? I heard that last time their warships sailed into the Thames, you didn't dare utter a sound. It's time to face reality. China's return to the top of the world is unstoppable. If you return it now, you can at least gain a good reputation. If human warships sail over to take it in the future, forget about ancestral glory, you won't even have the most basic face and dignity."

"Yingzi is so poor she has to sell her aircraft carrier, and she still hasn't come to terms with reality? Just wait, if you keep this mentality, Yang Chen will deal with you one day, and then you'll have to return the cultural relics and beg him for reconciliation."

……

With the cultural relics issue resolved, the next step for both parties is to discuss issues such as Xingchen Motors' plan to build a factory in Turin, and the preferential policies that Xingchen Motors, Sihai Insurance, and others will enjoy when entering the Italian market.

After finalizing the cooperation agreement, the Italian delegation flew directly to Beijing, where they will officially begin a state visit to China tomorrow.

That evening, the CCTV Evening News devoted eight minutes to highlighting the agreement reached between Yang Chen and the Italian delegation, as well as the return of cultural relics by Italy.

"History cannot be denied. We urge the former powers to take the initiative to return the cultural relics belonging to China, just like Italy did. We also hope that more patriots like Mr. Yang Chen will use legal means to bring back cultural relics lost overseas. We are very happy to have a patriotic entrepreneur like Mr. Yang Chen, and we hope that other entrepreneurs can learn from Mr. Yang Chen. The future of our motherland is brighter, and the future of the people of China is brighter."

This is the nth time that CCTV's evening news program has praised Yang Chen, calling on other entrepreneurs and people across the country to learn from him.

As always, Yang Chen became a trending topic on the internet after the evening news broadcast ended.

The topic "The nation calls on you to learn from Comrade Yang Chen" topped the trending search lists on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin.

"Boss Yang is awesome. He recovered 56 cultural relics through his own efforts, one for each ethnic group, which is quite equitable."

"Is it that I don't want to learn from Mr. Yang? The key is that I can't. If I could learn even one ten-thousandth of Mr. Yang's abilities, I would be a billionaire. I can only offer my support in spirit; I am powerless to do anything about it."

"Boss Yang has more and more protective charms. If this were ancient times, he would probably have a death-exemption certificate or something. Everyone opposes privileges, but I don't envy, am jealous of, or oppose giving Boss Yang privileges. He deserves better treatment than ordinary people. I hope he can hire more employees and benefit more people."

……

The following day, the Chinese and Italian officials held friendly negotiations and reached many cooperation agreements.

For example, Italy will allow Chinese new energy vehicles to enter the market, while China will increase its imports of Italian wine, luxury goods, etc. The total value of orders signed or agreed upon by the two sides exceeded 230 billion euros.

China is using this opportunity to prove a point to the world: as long as there is genuine sincerity in wanting to befriend China, both sides can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, making money together and improving the lives of their people. It's well known that neighboring India always likes to compare itself to China; they adhere to the principle that if China can do it, India can too.

China landed on the moon, and India also wanted to go to the moon. In the end, China successfully landed on the moon and brought back lunar soil, while India broadcast cartoons to fool its people.

China successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, and India also wants to launch one. After the launch, no one knows where it went, so they announce that the launch was successful. Anyway, it was launched, and where it went is not important.

Seeing that people all over the world were praising Yang Chen and China, India was unhappy again. So, their government instructed its own media to expose the news that India was going to take over Chinese companies.

For no other reason than to disgust the nation while it was celebrating, and to show how awesome the Indians are, freezing assets whenever they want, confiscating them whenever they want, and buying them up at rock-bottom prices whenever they want.

The Indian Times reports: According to a Supreme Court ruling, several companies from China are suspected of money laundering and other illegal activities, and the court has frozen all of these companies' assets in India. These companies include Sihai Electronics, Wawu Mobile, DaMi Mobile, and Micro-Innovation Manufacturing. To punish these companies and serve as a warning to companies from China and other countries operating in India, the Supreme Court has ordered Wawu Mobile and Micro-Innovation Manufacturing to be sold to the Tata Group at a low price. This demonstrates the confidence of our powerful India: any company that violates our laws will be dealt with without hesitation or leniency, and their illegal gains will be confiscated.

When this news broke, people all over the world were shocked.

On YouTube, the comment section of a video reporting this news was bustling with activity.

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Huh? Are the Indians really that brave? They've taken over so many Chinese companies at once? And one of them is even owned by Mr. Yang. Aren't they afraid he'll retaliate?"

A South Korean netizen commented: "It still has to be India! Western countries have completely given in; human civilization depends on India. Because you guys are so bold, I'll call you 'Brother India' from now on, and I'll stop calling you 'Ah San' (a derogatory term for Indians). I'll also stop calling you 'Lizard Sister-in-Law'."

A Japanese netizen commented: "India deserves to be taught a lesson. Do they really think they're so powerful? The whole country is full of braggarts, completely unaware of their own strength. Just watch, Mr. Yang will definitely retaliate against them. Do you think they're harder to deal with than the EU and the US?"

An Indian netizen commented: "This is the terrifying power of our mighty Indian Empire. Whenever we need it, we can find an excuse to confiscate the assets of foreign companies, and you can't do anything about it. As the number one military power in Asia and the third strongest in the world, we Indians never need to explain our actions to anyone. The UN should hurry up and allow us to join the five permanent members; be careful, or we might lose patience and take down the UN. As a citizen of India, I feel very proud, and I want to be Indian again in my next life."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Someone once said that India is like a sleeping maggot; when it wakes up, it will disgust the whole world. You might have disagreed with this before, but now you all believe it, right? How brainless do you have to be to do something like this? Isn't it blatantly rejecting foreign investment in India? Look at how China treats foreign companies; they've covered in a few decades what Western countries took three hundred years to achieve, and they're already ahead in every aspect. India can't even copy their homework properly; they're too stupid."

A Chinese netizen commented: "Indians really do think differently from normal people. It's a miracle that a leader capable of such things could be elected. Indians shouldn't be too happy yet; just wait for Yang's baptism of fire. People of other countries, get ready; soon we'll be watching the global livestream again."

……

the other side.

After several days of preparation, Wall Street investment banks finally had the funds ready to short India and transferred the 1000 billion Indian dollars borrowed by Yang Chen into Sihai Investment's account.

Pacquiao called Yang Chen and asked, "Mr. Yang, the funds are all in place. When do we make our move?"

Yang Chen replied, "Let's do it today."

Pacquiao laughed and said, "I saw the news. The Indians even dared to freeze your money. They're really bold. We didn't have a reason to short them before, but now they've given us one."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "I, Yang Chen, never need a reason to do things. I will do whatever I want. In today's highly globalized world, there are still countries that arbitrarily confiscate foreign investment. We must bring civilization to them and help them catch up with modern human civilization."

Pacquiao laughed heartily and said, "Absolutely no problem, let the Indians experience the baptism of civilization!"

According to Chinese time, the Indian stock market opens at 11:15 AM in the capital of China, while it is already late at night in the United States.

But that's not a problem. If they could earn hundreds of billions of dollars and keep these Wall Street bigwigs up for three days and three nights, they would agree without hesitation.

As the most powerful company in India, the Tata Group is naturally a key target for short selling.

Yang Chen said, "Out of personal grudges, I will short Tata Group and Indian stock index futures. You can decide what you want to short, just go ahead and short, I guarantee it will all be successful."

Tiger Fund President George Soros said, "I've long coveted India's financial industry, and I've been shorting their financial companies and banks."

BlackRock President Manny Pacquiao said, "We're interested in the real economy, so we short their real economy."

Yang Chen agreed with the various investment banks on the areas to short sell, and then each of them ordered their own traders to manually open short positions.

As India's largest company, the Tata Group has 31 listed companies with a combined market capitalization of 2500 billion UAE dollars.

Meanwhile, India's stock market capitalization exceeded 4 US dollars, and the total index value exceeded 8 points.

Sihai Investment used 1000 billion Eagle Dollars borrowed from Wall Street to operate, and quickly spent all the money.

Such a large number of short positions in stock index futures were quickly discovered by institutions and retail investors in India, and the market immediately began to fall.

Louis, the head of the Indian Securities and Exchange Commission, soon received a report that the Indian stock market had been targeted by a large-scale short-selling attack.

Louis quickly reported this to the higher-ups, who were delighted to hear it.

"If they dare to short our country's stock market, isn't that like handing over money to us? We'll short it too, make a profit, and then freeze all their funds under the pretext of disrupting the stock market. Someone's giving us money to spend; we should be happy! Haha..."

“That’s right! We’re not Europe or the bald eagle, where we’re shorted and we’re afraid to fight back because we’re worried about our reputation. If they dare to short us, we should be prepared to lose all our capital.”

"Then what are we waiting for? Our stock market has indeed risen to too high a level, so we should take this opportunity to correct it. We should quickly open short positions, make money from the correction first, and then confiscate the foreign capital that is shorting the market. It's a win-win situation."

"Ha ha……"

Sometimes you have to admire the Indians; there's nothing they can't do, only things others can't imagine.

Foreign investors and "insiders" joined forces to short sell, causing the Indian stock market to plummet.

India's stock market is quite unique, allowing T+0 trading and setting a 10% daily price fluctuation limit. If managed well, it can be quite similar to the US stock market, which has no price fluctuation limit.

For example, if you buy stock A and it rises 10% and hits the daily limit, you sell it that day. Then you buy stock B, which also rises 10% and hits the daily limit, and you sell that too. Then you buy stock C, and so on. You can make a considerable profit in a day.

However, only a man like Yang Chen, who seems to have cheat codes, can play like this; no one else has the ability to execute the moves accurately every time.

Because T+0 trading is allowed, retail investors keep selling falling stocks and then buying the dip in stocks they think will rise. After buying the dip, the market continues to fall, so they sell again, which exacerbates the speed of the market decline.

Near the close of trading, the Indian stock market index fell by 9.98%, almost hitting the daily limit down. All individual stocks declined, with none rising or remaining flat.

The 9.98% plunge in the Indian stock market has shaken global financial markets, drawing attention from netizens all over the world.

The comment sections of related news on platforms such as YouTube are bustling with activity, with netizens from all over the world gloating.

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "See? I told you the Indians would retaliate! Daring to seize Mr. Yang's assets, isn't that just courting death? Without a doubt, Mr. Yang will retaliate by shorting the Indian stock market and freezing the 6 million NT dollars of funds held by Sihai Mobile."

South Korean netizens: Brother India, hang in there! The whole world is watching you. Your chance to shine in front of the world has arrived, you must seize it! If you can turn the tables on Yang Chen, you'll become a human legend. Go for it! The people of South Korea are with you.

A Japanese netizen commented: "Koreans are disgusting. I don't understand why you hate Chinese people so much. Is it just because their ancestors conquered Seoul? No matter how much you hate them, it doesn't change the fact that you were historically a vassal state of China. Besides, your current South Korea was founded in China. You created the universe, and the Chinese created you. To hate Chinese people like this, you're actually sucking up to Indians. It's truly shameful. It's embarrassing to be Asian with you."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Boss Yang, well done! This is exactly what my idol should do. If India dares to freeze your money, you should earn it back tenfold, a hundredfold, from their stock market. It's a pity I can't trade in the Indian stock market, otherwise I would definitely join Boss Yang in shorting it."

Seeing the comments from netizens around the world, the Indian high-ranking officials burst into laughter.

"These idiots, they actually used those foreign tricks on us Indians. Do they really think we'll let these funds make money and leave safely?"

"We can take this opportunity to teach the world a lesson and let them know that even Yang Chen has to submit to us."

“We were short of money to build a new government palace, but now Yang Chen and Wall Street have sent us hundreds of billions of dollars. If we don’t accept it, it would be a huge disrespect to them. Once the new government palace is built, we must make sure the media thanks them for their donation.”

"Ha ha……"
