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

Chapter 253 The Indians Remain Stubborn, Yang Chen and Wall Street Join Forces for Retaliation

The US urged India to cooperate with the Canadian investigation, stating that it supports Canada and opposes India.

Institutional investors and retail investors alike were terrified and rushed to flee the Indian stock market, accelerating its decline.

Yang Chen's original goal was to reduce the total market value of India's stock market from 4 trillion peso to below 3 trillion peso, which would allow him to earn about 500 billion peso, while Wall Street investment banks would earn about 3000 billion peso.

However, the current situation is having a more severe impact on the Indian stock market than Yang Chen had anticipated; conservatively speaking, the Indian stock market could lose half its value.

A country that can't even manage its own electricity, whose assembly plants rely on ripping off foreign companies, and whose 200 million people are starving, has seen its stock market rise for over a decade. With more than 5,000 listed companies, the market index has reached 80,000 points, and even if it drops by half, it will still be significantly overvalued.

With the market having already fallen by 35%, India tried various methods but failed to stop the stock market decline.

This is no problem for India. They temporarily passed legislation to prohibit foreign capital from shorting the Indian stock market, and all funds in accounts that opened short positions were confiscated.

That's just how Indians do things. Making money legally and legitimately is nowhere near as fast as directly confiscating it.

When this news came out, the world was shocked.

India might not face any consequences if it confiscated assets from other countries, but the fact that they dared to confiscate assets from Wall Street will certainly not be tolerated by the United States. How dare they challenge the global hegemon?
The comment section for related news on YouTube is very lively.

South Korean netizens: Wow, are the Indians really this brave? They even dare to confiscate the money from the bald eagles? Indians, respect comes from South Korea, keep it up.

A Japanese netizen commented: "Does India even have any normal people? How politically naive do they have to be to do something like this? Confiscating Yang Chen's assets is dangerous enough, but confiscating Wall Street's assets too? Isn't this giving Yang Chen and the US ample reason to retaliate? And other countries won't speak up for them, since they broke the rules first. Just watch, India will be crying and apologizing, believe me."

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Are those Indians on drugs? They dare to swindle our money? They'll have to wait for the baptism of civilization."

A netizen from India commented: "Being a citizen of India is truly a blessing. We dare to do this because we are powerful enough. What is the bald eagle? It has to kneel down obediently in front of us. I've said it before: dare to short our stock market? We'll harvest as many as come, and not a single penny will escape."

Chinese netizens: India is awesome! India is truly ruthless, treating everyone equally. I'll give India a thumbs up for withstanding the wrath of Boss Yang and the US.

……

After listening to the report from Zhao Jing, president of Sihai Investment, Yang Chen immediately called Pacquiao.

"Hey, Mr. Pacquiao, haven't your company's higher-ups intervened to mediate?" Yang Chen asked.

Pacquiao replied, "I haven't had a chance yet. I just received the news that India has actually passed a temporary law to confiscate short-selling funds. It's outrageous."

Yang Chen immediately said, "I'm speechless. We've invested so much money, and you don't care at all. When I told you to get involved in the mediation, you should have intervened immediately. What were you waiting for? Opportunities are fleeting. Look, you missed the chance to mediate, and now the situation is passive."

Pacquiao quickly said, "Who would have thought that those damn Indians would be so reckless? I'll urge them right away to have the higher-ups contact them. If they follow the rules obediently, that's fine. But if they don't, we won't follow the rules either."

Yang Chen replied, "Okay, hurry up and call me when you have any news."

Yang Chen hung up the phone, a smile spreading across his face.

Zhao Jing, who was standing nearby, asked, "Chairman Yang, what if the Indians don't unfreeze our money, or only return the principal but confiscate the profits?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Anyway, it's not like we used our own money, so it doesn't matter if we can't get it back. Besides, I want to bring the US on board, and we can take revenge on India together. Then other countries won't dare to say anything."

Zhao Jing nodded and said with a smile, "I understand. It all depends on how many personnel losses India can withstand."

When they saw that the Third Brother had confiscated Yang Chen's and Wall Street's short-selling funds, Luo Jun of DaMi, Zhao Yongping of Wavo, and Duan Hongji of MicroPort Manufacturing were all dumbfounded.

Isn't this Indian guy crazy?

All of Wall Street's assets have been confiscated, and there's nothing Yang Chen can do about it.

Netizens in China are also very concerned about whether Yang Chen can get his money back, and they have left messages in the comment section of Yang Chen's Weibo to ask him.

Yang Chen responded with a Weibo post.

"Eagle said he'd talk to India first. If they reach an agreement, great; if not, they'll fight. Eagle and I will join forces. Unrelated countries shouldn't make any comments. Anyone who dares to interfere is an accomplice of India, and we'll retaliate together."

Netizens left messages expressing their support.

"Support! Support! Boss Yang is going to teach the Indians how to follow the rules this time."

"Boss Yang is truly impressive. He just joined forces with the EU to take down the US, and now he's joined forces with the US to take down India. It really proves the saying that there are no permanent friends in international relations, only permanent interests. I now think our country's policy of non-alignment is really wise. Before, some people were sarcastic and said we had no friends, but now that we see the US so easily reaping allies, and even after being taken down by Boss Yang, they can still cooperate with him, those Western-worshipping dogs won't be sarcastic about our non-alignment policy anymore, right? If alliances were effective, the Qin Dynasty wouldn't have unified China. Our ancestors have already set an example for us. Have these Western-worshipping dogs never been to school, or do they simply want to be Western-worshipping dogs?"

"The Indians will soon learn what rules are. If it weren't for the fact that Western countries need them to annoy us, given their national situation and strength, how could Western countries possibly give them a second glance? They really think they're so powerful and important. Let's take this opportunity to make them realize their own strength and status, and wake up from their arrogant dream as soon as possible."

The comments from netizens were forwarded to China by Indians, and official media outlets such as the Indian Times were once again on the defensive. The last time they were on such a large scale was because Chinese people gave them the nickname "Ah San".

The Indian TV presenter said with a serious expression, "They're all leaving comments on Yang Chen's social media accounts, telling him and the 'White-Headed Eagle' to teach us a lesson and show us how to behave. They're so rude! They call us 'Indians,' and now they're saying they'll teach us a lesson. They really don't respect us, the strongest nation in Asia and the third strongest in the world. This time, we must make sure Yang Chen suffers a crushing defeat here. We absolutely cannot let him escape unscathed, otherwise they'll laugh at us even more. I suggest the 'White-Headed Eagle' not get involved. We can unfreeze their funds, and we'll target Yang Chen, determined to shatter his undefeated myth!"

The Indian people were in high spirits and left messages on social media to express their support.

"How fortunate we are to live in India. We are no longer a backward country under Western colonial rule. We are now the strongest military country in Asia. We will never allow the United States and Yang Chen to make money off us like this."

"So what if it's the Bald Eagle? We call the shots in our country. The Bald Eagle can't make money off us, and neither can Yang Chen. We must let the whole world know how great India is. Europeans can't beat Yang Chen, but we can. The Bald Eagle can't beat Yang Chen, but we can! In short, even God would have to kneel down in India."

“Our country’s leadership is full of wise people. I think the tactic of reconciling with the bald eagle and only targeting Yang Chen is very clever. We don’t need to be too greedy. Taking down Yang Chen will be enough for us to make a fortune.”

……

Seeing the Indian people's fervent determination to defeat Yang Chen and the White-headed Eagle, the Indian leadership was overjoyed.

This is truly a great thing, killing two birds with one stone. It can both reap the wealth of Yang Chen and Wall Street and win over the hearts of the people to increase the chances of winning the re-election.

Just as the Indian leadership was feeling smug, the United States called, demanding that India send a head of state to lead a delegation to Washington, D.C.

At first, India wanted to refuse, but after the United States threatened to unite the world to sanction India, India compromised and could only send a team to Washington.

At the same time, the Prime Minister of Canada also led his team to Watington.

In reality, Bai Tou's actions were just a waste of time. For Indians who are bursting with confidence, no amount of verbal threats will work. The best way to deal with them is to beat them into submission.

as predicted.

Even with all their efforts, the US failed to persuade India and Canada to reconcile, let alone convince India to abide by international law and not freeze Wall Street and Yang Chen's principal and profits.

India's offer was that Wall Street's principal could leave India, and nothing else was negotiable. If they wanted reconciliation with Canada, Canada had to hand over key Sikh members to them, and Canada had to guarantee that Sikh gatherings and speeches would not be allowed in public places within Canada.

Canada cannot accept such conditions, as it would be tantamount to telling the world that Canada is unsafe and that Canada would lose a large number of immigrants, resulting in significant losses for them.

Since negotiations fail, fighting is the only option.

BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao called Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, India won’t listen to our advice. They’re only willing to release our principal; nothing else matters. We’ve put in so much effort, and if we just get our principal back, wouldn’t that be a waste of time? We’d lose billions of pesos in opportunity cost. Our suggestion is that Mr. Yang can take action now. We’ll privately contact the various countries and ask them to keep quiet,” Pacquiao said.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Fuck! You guys are hiding in the back, leaving me to be the cannon fodder? You need to understand the situation. All the capital for this operation is yours. I'm using money you lent me. If this money doesn't come back, don't expect me to pay it back. Don't ask why. The answer is that I'm doing this to help you make money and recover your losses. Of course, you will bear the main part of the consequences, and I will only bear the secondary part."

Pacquiao quickly said, "Mr. Yang, don't misunderstand. We're not pushing you out as cannon fodder. It's because your methods are more sophisticated. If we were to take action, using the special agent methods, the success rate would be low, and we'd easily mess things up. If the situation gets out of control, it wouldn't be good for you either, since they're right next door to you."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "You're right. I'll be the one to take action, but it will be broadcast globally under the names of your companies. We are all private companies, and it's legal and legitimate for us to reclaim our money. As long as the authorities don't intervene, the situation won't get out of control. We're a community of shared interests, so don't think about leaving the dirty work to me while you guys hide behind and play the role of chess players."

Pacquiao was a little embarrassed by what Yang Chen said. They did indeed have the mentality of "playing the chess player" and letting Yang Chen play against the Indian, and then deciding what to do next based on the actual situation.

Yang Chen has always been the one playing the chess player; how could he tolerate Wall Street stealing his role?

Shorting the Indian stock market was a scheme set up by Yang Chen to drag the US into dealing with India and force India to return the frozen assets of Chinese companies.

The plan has now reached its most crucial stage, and the Bald Eagle can no longer afford to play it safe.

"You can decide what to do yourselves; I don't care. I've already made my stance clear: if the principal of this investment is confiscated, I will not return the money to you," Yang Chen said.

Pacquiao quickly replied, "I understand what Mr. Yang means. I need to discuss this with the other CEOs and report to the higher-ups. I'll hang up now and contact you again when I have a result."

After hanging up the phone, Pacquiao quickly contacted the presidents of several other companies to hold a video conference.

Pacquiao relayed Yang Chen's request to everyone and asked for their opinions.

Goldman Sachs President Winterkorn said, "Yang Chen never suffers a loss, so it's not surprising that he would make such a request. We now need to consider whether to give up the profits from this operation or to truly tie ourselves to Yang Chen."

JPMorgan Chase President Pinto said, "What do you mean by that? Do you know how much it cost us to raise so much money? If we don't want the returns and just want to get our principal back, then all these days of work will have been for nothing, and we'll still have to pay interest and opportunity costs. Most importantly, we've already made several wrong choices. If we abandon Yang Chen again this time, he will definitely find a chance to retaliate against us, and whether he will still be willing to cooperate with us in the future is another matter. The multiple-choice question you're talking about doesn't exist. We only have one choice, and that is to keep our promise and stand with Yang Chen."

Tiger Fund President George Soros said, "I agree with Mr. Pinto's opinion. It's not that I absolutely have to cooperate with Yang Chen, but I've been eyeing India for a long time. This time they've finally made their move, and they've even made a profit of over 40%. It's impossible for me to give up these profits unless Indian agents kill me."

Vanguard President Barkley followed up, "I'm unwilling to give up profits, and even less willing to break with Yang Chen again. Winterkorn, you must understand one thing: if we abandon Yang Chen now, the cost isn't just opportunity cost and interest, but also inevitable retaliation from Yang Chen. Our country can't shut down short selling. As long as short selling isn't shut down, Yang Chen has ways to keep our stocks falling. Do you know how much money that will cost? If our fundamental national policy of building a financial nation collapses, can Wall Street still survive?"

Wen De'en, feeling embarrassed by everyone's comments, quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, I was just reminding you that we have two choices, not that we're going to break our promise and abandon Yang Chen again. I'm a seasoned veteran with many years of experience, so what you can understand, I certainly can too. We've reached a consensus now, so let's go to the White House together."

The other CEOs nodded and immediately logged off to head to the White House.

Shortly thereafter, the U.S. president's office quietly made phone calls to major countries around the world, instructing them not to comment on what was about to happen in India.

The high-ranking officials of the countries that were notified all understood that the United States and Yang Chen were going to take action against India. At this time, whoever spoke up for India would be in trouble.

At the same time, investment banks such as BlackRock and Goldman Sachs registered accounts on video platforms such as TikTok and simultaneously started broadcasting to promote their retaliation against India.

"Because India illegally froze our funds, we will soon join forces with Mr. Yang Chen to launch a retaliatory action against India. This action will continue until our assets are successfully removed from India."

Yang Chen couldn't control other platforms, but he could control TikTok to promote traffic to these investment bank accounts and attract as many viewers as possible.

At the same time, Sihai Security's TikTok account also started a live stream.

Although the image only showed the logo of Sihai Security, the live stream quickly attracted more than 100 million viewers from all over the world.

"The day has finally come. I want to see how long the Indians can hold out before kneeling down. I've been fed up with them for a long time because of their constant boasting on YouTube. Go Yang Chen, go Wall Street! We have to make the Indians realize just how big this world really is, otherwise they'll keep living in their own delusional world and inflating themselves."

"The United States of Canada sent a congratulatory message, wishing Mr. Yang Chen and Wall Street success in protecting their rights and interests, and that they should teach a few Indians a lesson so that they will be more restrained on the international internet in the future. I can't stand seeing them bragging about being the best in Asia and that their Tejas fighter jet can crush other fifth-generation fighters."

"I heard that the bald eagle has already made arrangements with countries around the world, telling them to keep silent. India is finished, really, I'm not kidding. The bald eagle is clearly going to join forces with Yang Chen to take revenge on India. The methods may be even more brutal than when they dealt with the Italian Mafia, and the scene may be even bloodier. Let's wait and see."

"Yang Chen, don't be so arrogant! We Indians are invincible! No matter how many men you bring, we'll wipe them all out. We're not kidding! The Bald Eagles are truly disappointing. Why have they stooped so low as to cooperate with Yang Chen to take revenge on us? We've already said we can unfreeze your funds. We're only targeting Yang Chen. Why won't you do that? This time, we'll shatter the Bald Eagles' and Yang Chen's undefeated myth in one fell swoop!"

Indian netizens are still so stubborn, which makes us appreciate the image that the Indian leadership has cultivated in their citizens—that India is a powerful nation. It's incredibly effective; the Indians just really think they're strong.

At this moment, the heads of the Indian Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, Securities and other relevant departments who saw the live broadcast panicked, because they knew that Yang Chen and Wall Street's target for revenge would definitely be them.

To protect the safety of these department heads, the Indian military directly dispatched troops to protect them.

They also blocked the signal, so they don't have to worry about mosquitoes and other robotic beasts, right?
At this moment, in the chairman's office of Sihai Group.

Yang Chen posted another Weibo post.

“I operate legally, and every penny I earn belongs to me. Whoever dares to steal my money, I dare to take their life. If the Indians use illegal means against me first, then I can use illegal means against them. No matter how the situation develops, all responsibility lies with the Indians.”

Netizens who had been waiting to see what would happen immediately left their comments.

"Just do it!"

"As long as Boss Yang performs normally, Ah San and his men won't last three days."

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Boss Yang is absolutely right. That's how you deal with the Indians. Besides, you have the support of the United States. Go ahead and do your thing. Nobody will dare to say you're wrong."

……

After posting on Weibo, Yang Chen called Guo Hu, the president of Sihai Security.

"Ah Hu, inform the brothers in India that they can start. Without my order, the operation must not stop. Keep going until India admits defeat and submits."

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Understood! I will immediately issue the attack order to our brothers in India."

Yang Chen hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.

Guo Hu immediately notified his brothers in India and ordered them to begin their retaliatory actions.
