I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.
Chapter 255 Yang Chen and Wall Street achieve a great victory, but the bald eagle joins forces with
Chapter 255 Yang Chen and Wall Street achieve a great victory, but the bald eagle joins forces with India to target Yang Chen again.
It's not certain whether we can acquire the foreign company's assets. If we also ruin our relationship with the chairman of the largest domestic company, we'll truly lose both our wife and our army.
Everyone could only quickly comfort Rabelle Tata, telling her not to act impulsively and to sit down calmly and discuss how to deal with the situation.
Rabel Tata said, "There's nothing to discuss. Either you kill me, or you do as I say. And don't be complacent. Once the heads of various departments have been retaliated against, it will definitely be your turn. The bald eagle is personally involved; how could it possibly stop until it achieves its goal? Don't think you're safe; it's just that it hasn't been your turn yet."
Rabel Tata's words instilled fear in these high-ranking officials; the highest level of protection they could enjoy was simply hiding in a nuclear-proof underground safe house.
Yang Chen has proven that the underground safe house designed to withstand nuclear bombs is not safe; it can be dug through in a maximum of ten hours.
If they really become targets of retaliation, they won't be able to escape the attacks.
Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "There are mosquitoes!"
It was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, instantly scaring everyone in the room into running towards the emergency exit.
However, the emergency exit was now swarming with mosquitoes and flies, spiders crawled on the walls, and earthworms wriggled on the ground.
This office is definitely not as secure as a nuclear-proof safe house; these things can easily get in.
Sitting behind the scenes directing operations, they certainly have nothing to fear.
But when danger is right in front of us, or even when we are surrounded by danger, everyone becomes uneasy.
"Forget it, forget it, let's not do anything illegal."
"Yes, yes, I agree, I agree, let's not do anything illegal."
"Mosquitoes, flies, spiders, and earthworms, don't retaliate against me. I don't agree to the illegal freezing of foreign investment. Go find whoever agrees."
"I disagree too, and don't come to me. Go find whoever hasn't expressed their opinion."
"Huh? Hey? How can you talk like that? I'm making my position clear, I'm making my position clear, I don't support the illegal freezing of foreign investment either."
……
At this moment, the live stream chat of Sihai Security was filled with comments.
"Wasn't Third Brother very arrogant? What's going on now? Don't back down, keep being as arrogant and domineering as before."
"Where's the third brother in the live stream? Is he still being stubborn? Has he witnessed the power of Yang Chen and Bald Eagle working together? This is all to get back the assets that belong to them. If things really turned sour, these people in the video would have been finished long ago."
"The Maple Leaf Country sent a congratulatory message. Let's see if they still dare to be so arrogant. They actually froze other people's assets. Do they really think they can do whatever they want? This is just to let you realize your true strength and status. Don't be so fond of making empty boasts on the international internet in the future."
……
The high-ranking officials of Japan, who were watching the live stream, started discussing it again.
"They've already broken through? Was there really no defense at all?"
"It's not that there's no defense; it's that they can't defend against it at all. The bald eagles provided encrypted satellite frequencies, which the Indians can't crack in a short time."
"This is terrifying. We can't let Yang Chen get too close to Wall Street. It's too scary if they join forces. They can do whatever they want to anyone."
"No wonder Sihai Intelligent doesn't sell earthworms to the public. Their burrowing ability is too strong. I wonder what materials they use. Could we try to bribe their employees to get some samples or data to take a look?"
"Easier said than done. Yang Chen treats his employees so well and is always ruthless. Who would dare to betray him?"
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try? There's nothing in this world that money can't buy. If there is, it's because you haven't paid enough. As long as you have the money, you can solve anything."
"Let's give it a try. Let's investigate whether any of our Chinese students studying in China or our people in China have access to Sihai Intelligent's employees. We'll start with them."
……
The German high command thought Yang Chen's equipment was impressive, and they wanted to return the artifacts and seek cooperation. Japan also thought Yang Chen's equipment was impressive, but they wanted to bribe people to steal secrets. This is the difference between the two nations: one dares to act and take responsibility, while the other can never see the light of day.
Yang Chen was watching the live stream when BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao called.
"Haha... Mr. Yang, we just received a call from India seeking peace. They're willing to unfreeze our assets, including those of our rice company, and ask us to immediately cease our retaliatory actions. What do you think of that?" Pacquiao said with a laugh.
Yang Chen replied, "I don't want to hear what they say, but I want to see what they do."
Pacquiao quickly replied, "Understood! Just wait for the news, it will be here soon."
Yang Chen hung up the phone and waited for about ten minutes. News came from India that all the frozen assets of Sihai Investment, Sihai Electronics, various Wall Street investment banks, Sami, Vavo, Micro-Innovation Manufacturing, etc., had been unfrozen.
At the same time, India also announced that it will absolutely treat foreign companies in accordance with international law from now on, and will never again force foreign companies to sell assets at low prices or freeze foreign companies' assets without cause.
Sihai Electronics President Chen Lan and Sihai Investment President Zhao Jing both received the message from India and immediately reported the details to Yang Chen.
After hearing this, Yang Chen called Guo Hu to end the revenge operation.
At this moment, Luo Jun, the president of DaMi, called Yang Chen.
"Haha... Chairman Yang, thank you, thank you. We've received news from India that our 48 billion yuan has been unfrozen and we're allowed to transfer it back to China. Our companies there will also be protected by local laws and won't be frozen or forced to sell at a low price. Haha... Chairman Yang's move was no surprise. Once the funds are back, the 2.4 million yuan thank-you bonus I promised you will be immediately deposited into your personal account," Luo Jun said happily.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. Congratulations to Da Mi on reclaiming its rightful assets."
Luo Jun laughed heartily and said, "This is all thanks to Chairman Yang. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to get this money back. Well then, I won't disturb Chairman Yang's rest any longer. Bye!"
Less than a minute after hanging up the phone, VAVO President Zhao Yongping also called Yang Chen.
Zhao Yongping said happily, "Haha... Chairman Yang, thank you, thank you! Our assets have been unfrozen. Rabeel Tata, the chairman of the Tata Group, personally called and said that if we are willing to sell the company, he will buy it at market value. If we are not willing to sell the company, he guarantees that no one will force us to sell the company again. The crisis is over. Thank you for your help, Chairman Yang."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
Zhao Yongping said, "It's just a piece of cake for Chairman Yang, but it's incredibly difficult for us. Without Chairman Yang's help, we'd have to sell the company for a pittance. We have an idea that we hope Chairman Yang will seriously consider."
"Oh? What's your idea? Tell me, and I'll definitely consider it seriously," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Yongping replied, "In addition to the thank-you payment we promised Chairman Yang, we would also like to establish a company specifically to manage our overseas business. We hope Chairman Yang can accept the 20% stake we are offering free of charge. What do you think?"
Yang Chen was a seasoned veteran, so he naturally understood VAVO's intentions.
"That's not a good idea, it feels like I'm taking advantage of you," Yang Chen said.
Zhao Yongping quickly said, "No, no, no, Chairman Yang's name is worth a fortune in the capital market. It would be our honor if you could agree to this plan. Chairman Yang also knows our intentions. We just want to use 20% of the shares to buy a nominal position for Chairman Yang. That way, no one will dare to covet our overseas assets anymore. We hope Chairman Yang can accept this. Thank you."
Yang Chen said with a smile, "If I don't accept what President Zhao has said, I would be ungrateful."
“No, no, no, it’s entirely up to Chairman Yang’s own decision. We very much hope that you can accept it, but if you feel that we are a burden to you and you are unwilling to accept it, then we cannot force you,” Zhao Yongping quickly said.
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Haha... It's not a drag... Let's just say, thank you for the shares from Vavo."
Zhao Yongping immediately said excitedly, "Haha... Thank you, Chairman Yang, for accepting our shares. Thank you, thank you. I won't bother you any longer. Contact me again if needed."
Just as Yang Chen was about to rest, Duan Hongji, the boss of MicroPort Manufacturing, called again.
"Chairman Yang, thank you so much! The Indians have unfrozen our assets and promised not to force us to sell the factory. We were able to resolve this crisis entirely thanks to Chairman Yang's help. I'll transfer the thank-you payment I promised to Chairman Yang tomorrow," Duan Hongji said happily.
Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Duan, you're too kind. It was just a small matter, nothing to mention."
Duan Hongji quickly said, "It's a simple matter for Chairman Yang, but it's something we can't solve. I will always remember Chairman Yang's kindness. Then, we're planning to set up a new company to manage our overseas business, and we'd like to give Chairman Yang 20% of the shares. You don't need to invest or worry about any management issues; you can just wait for dividends. Of course, Chairman Yang can also offer any good suggestions, and we will definitely consider them seriously. We just want to be associated with Chairman Yang; that will make our overseas business much safer in the future. We hope Chairman Yang won't look down on us and will accept our shares. Thank you."
Micro-Innovation Manufacturing and Vavo have the exact same strategy. Yang Chen accepted Vavo's equity, so naturally he can also accept Micro-Innovation Manufacturing's equity.
Actually, if we take a step back, even if Yang Chen doesn't want their shares, they will definitely ask Yang Chen for help again if their overseas business runs into problems in the future, which will inevitably cause trouble. It's better to put Yang Chen's name on it to scare away those foreigners with ulterior motives.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "President Duan is very direct, so I'll be straightforward too. I'll accept your equity stake. If you encounter any problems with overseas business in the future, feel free to come to me."
Duan Hongji said excitedly, "Okay, okay, thank you Chairman Yang for your kindness and for accepting us. Haha... I won't disturb Chairman Yang's rest any longer. Contact me again if needed."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen quickly turned it off. If he kept answering calls like that, he wouldn't get any sleep tonight.
Because he went to bed late and was often woken up in the middle of the night, Yang Chen didn't sleep well all night and could only catch up on sleep during the day.
It was almost 11 o'clock and Yang Chen still couldn't get through on the phone, which made the Indians and Wall Street extremely anxious. According to the agreement, if the Indians conceded defeat, Yang Chen and Wall Street would immediately end the short selling and raise the total market value of the Indian stock market to over 3 trillion Indian dollars.
The Indian stock market opened at 11:15 AM Beijing time. Yang Chen couldn't get through to him on the phone, and the Indians must be worried.
The BlackRock president could only call Chen Xi to ask what was going on. Upon learning that Yang Chen was still sleeping, he could only ask Chen Xi to wake Yang Chen up or let Yang Chen give the order to close the positions.
Chen Xi came to the bedside and played with Yang Chen's nose. Yang Chen woke up from suffocating and rolled over to pin Chen Xi down and punish her.
Chen Xi said breathlessly, "Stop it, stop it. Pacquiao said the Indian stock market is about to open and he wants you to give the order to close out the positions."
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Little vixen, you've got me all worked up. You think you can just stop making trouble like that? I'll just call Zhao Jing and have her handle it."
Yang Chen quickly called Zhao Jing, the president of Sihai Investment, and instructed her: "Xiao Jing, you can close your positions on the Indian side now. After closing the short positions, buy a little to push their total market value to over 3 trillion Eagle Dollars and then withdraw. Contact Pacquiao and ask him to close his positions as well."
Zhao Jing quickly replied, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away. Hmm? What's that noise? Is that Chen Xi's voice? What's she up to?"
Upon hearing Zhao Jing's words, Chen Xi deliberately made a few "ah ah" sounds for her to hear.
Zhao Jing laughed loudly, "Haha... Holy crap, that's too much! Not working during the day, doing this kind of thing at home, and even calling me to listen? Does it have to be this exciting? Brother Chen, I don't care, I want to do this too! Next time it's my turn, I'm going to call Chen Xi to listen too, or I won't allow it! Humph!"
Yang Chen said with a smile, "Isn't this a good opportunity to explain my work? I didn't call you on purpose."
Zhao Jing immediately said, "No need to explain. Explaining is just covering up, and covering up is the beginning of deception. I'll go do my work first, and we'll talk about it when I get back tonight."
Yang Chen hung up the phone and continued his conversation with Chen Xi.
Soon, Sihai Investment and Wall Street completed their liquidation, and then each bought some stocks and opened long positions in stock index futures to quickly boost the index of the Indian stock market.
Two trading days later, the total market capitalization of India's stock market successfully returned to over 3 trillion U.S. dollars. Yang Chen fulfilled his promise, and Sihai Investment immediately liquidated its holdings and left the market.
Since Yang Chen is quitting, Wall Street naturally won't continue either. Moreover, a total market capitalization of 3 trillion Eagle Dollars is still a bit high for India's economic and financial strength. It would be foolish not to run at this price.
Sihai Investment quickly calculated the profits from this operation in the Indian stock market. The total investment was 1000 billion Eagle Dollars, which is the money that Wall Street lent to Sihai Investment. The profit from shorting the Indian stock market was 456.34 billion Eagle Dollars, and the profit from going long on the Indian stock market was 276.45 billion Eagle Dollars, for a total profit of 732.79 billion Eagle Dollars.
On Wall Street, short selling yielded a total profit of 3023.45 billion US dollars, while long positions yielded a profit of 784.53 billion US dollars, for a total profit of 3807.98 billion US dollars.
The total market capitalization of India's stock market shrank by 9835.34 billion U.S. dollars. After deducting the profits earned by Four Seas Investment and Wall Street, more than half of the money was earned by other investment institutions, with the majority going to Indian domestic financial institutions and government officials.
The top brass of the White Eagle were overjoyed to learn that Wall Street's operation had recouped the 300 billion Eagle Dollar debt they had forgiven for Yang Chen, and even earned an additional 150 billion Eagle Dollars.
However, international relations have always been based on interests, not friendship.
India is an important part of the US's Asia-Pacific strategy, and they naturally cannot afford to lose this crucial link.
The bald eagle immediately prepared to visit India to repair relations between the two countries, and also demanded that Canada stop mentioning the assassination of Sikh leader Ghani, and forbid the media from sensationalizing issues such as Indian immigrants and tourists defecating on beaches.
India has no choice but to repair relations with the United States, otherwise they will be in a very passive position internationally.
Since the bald eagle had expressed its sincerity, they had no choice but to accept the bald eagle's request for a visit.
After Wall Street dividends were paid out, Pacquiao led a video conference with Yang Chen, bringing together the presidents of various investment banks.
Pacquiao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, thank you for your guidance. We made a lot of money this time."
"Haha..." The CEOs all burst into laughter.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "No need to thank me, we each get what we need."
Tiger Global Management CEO George Soros said, "I hope we can become friends with Mr. Yang in the future and have the opportunity to continue our cooperation."
Yang Chen said with a smile, "Let's forget about being friends. It's better if we each get what we need, so as to avoid awkward situations in the future."
Soros asked, "What makes you say that, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Chen explained, “Didn’t your family go on a visit to India? If I’m not mistaken, given your Westerners’ habit of being solely driven by profit and never caring about morality, you’ll likely launch an attack against me after the visit to curry favor with India and keep them as an important part of your Asia-Pacific strategy. I can’t speak for others, but I know your Western values and behavioral standards all too well. That’s why I never form alliances. Alliances are a constraint and a form of harm, while non-alliance is a freedom and a guarantee that you can retaliate freely without any psychological burden when your rights are violated.”
Goldman Sachs President Winterkorn said, "That's impossible! After everything that's happened, our senior management would never fail to recognize Mr. Yang's abilities and value. It's absolutely impossible for us to target you just to curry favor with India, as Mr. Yang claims."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Really? Then we'll wait and see. The interview will be over for today, and we'll know if my guess was right tomorrow."
These CEOs still didn't believe what Yang Chen said, but clearly they lacked self-awareness.
The use of the Bald Eagle's encrypted satellite frequency band was a great help in this operation, which made Yang Chen realize the importance of satellite communication in the future.
Yang Chen immediately called Chen Xi over and instructed him, "Find a satellite communications company with independent R&D capabilities. It doesn't matter if it's listed or not, as long as they're willing to sell. If they're easygoing, you can offer a higher price."
Chen Xi quickly replied, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
At this time, the Rice Group's Weibo account posted an update.
"With Mr. Yang Chen's help, the approximately 48 billion yuan of funds that were frozen in India have been unfrozen and successfully transferred back to China. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Yang Chen for his help and hope that we will have the opportunity to help him in the future."
Luo Jun also reposted the rice group's Weibo post on his personal Weibo account and added a comment.
"We were able to overcome this difficulty entirely thanks to Chairman Yang's help. We not only recovered the profits we had made over the years, but also preserved our business in India. I will definitely take the opportunity to personally visit Jiangcheng to invite Chairman Yang to dinner to express my gratitude. I hope Chairman Yang will not find it offensive."
Then, the vavo mobile phone Weibo account also posted a Weibo update.
"With Mr. Yang Chen's help, all of our company's assets frozen in India have been unfrozen, and the funds have been transferred back to China. We have also saved our company in India, so we don't have to sell it to the Tata Group at a bargain price. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Mr. Yang Chen. We would also like to announce that we have registered a new company to manage our overseas business, with Mr. Yang Chen holding a 20% stake. We hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Mr. Yang Chen in the future, and that our overseas business will flourish."
Similarly, Micro-Innovation Manufacturing also posted a Weibo post to thank Yang Chen, and also announced that it has established a company to manage overseas business, with Yang Chen holding 20% of the shares.
All three companies posted messages of gratitude, and Yang Chen also wanted to respond.
So, Yang Chen also posted a Weibo update.
"The money earned by Chinese people must belong to Chinese people. We can bring it back to improve employee benefits, or even donate it to charity, but we absolutely cannot let foreigners freeze or confiscate it for nothing. I hope we can work together to help Chinese companies continue to overcome obstacles and conquer new markets overseas, so that our compatriots can live a better life."
Netizens flocked to leave comments.
"Well done, Mr. Yang! This is the kind of responsibility and commitment that an entrepreneur of the people should have. Mr. Yang may be the first entrepreneur in human history who can navigate the world with ease. Anyone who dares to target him will not have a good ending. He has dealt with Italy, the United States, and India one after another. I don't believe that anyone who is not afraid of death will dare to target him."
"Haha... We haven't seen any Indian netizens on the international internet these past few days. Boss Yang has completely shattered their confidence. Keep it up, Boss Yang. I hope that in the near future everyone can work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and still earn enough to support their families."
"Wow, Mr. Yang is amazing! He's helped so many companies all at once. I hope Mr. Yang's factory continues to expand its workforce, and I'd like to join his company. Also, please don't increase employee benefits until I join your company, Mr. Yang, or I'll feel uncomfortable."
……
The next day, the spokesperson for the Bald Eagle launched an attack on Yang Chen at a routine meeting, though without naming him.
A reporter from the Indian Times asked: As intelligent robots become increasingly advanced, robots originally intended for civilian use are increasingly being used for military purposes. As a superpower, doesn't the United States intend to impose restrictions on this?
A spokesperson for the United States stated: "We are also aware of this issue. With the development of artificial intelligence, many strange and sophisticated intelligent devices are being used for military purposes. As the most powerful nation, the United States naturally considers the safety of people worldwide and the future development of humanity. Therefore, we are prepared to propose at the United Nations General Assembly a ban on private companies using civilian equipment for military purposes."
This is actually one of the agreements reached between the United States and India, in which the two countries jointly proposed at the United Nations to prohibit private companies from using civilian equipment for military purposes.
Sihai Group is a private company, and Yang Chen has always claimed that drones, robotic beasts, etc. are civilian equipment, but others have developed them for military purposes.
The suggestion from the bald eagle and the Indian was aimed at Yang Chen, so that Yang Chen would no longer be able to retaliate against foreigners with mosquitoes, flies, etc.
As long as Yang Chen cannot use these devices to retaliate against others, his deterrent power will be greatly reduced.
The Bald Eagle leadership also witnessed how ruthless Yang Chen's retaliatory actions were, and they worried that one day they might be retaliated against by Yang Chen for some reason.
Why not take this opportunity to join forces with India to strip Yang Chen of his ability to retaliate, and at the same time appease India? It's a win-win situation, so why not?
When several investment bank executives saw the spokesperson's video, they were stunned. As expected, Yang Chen was right. Westerners have no sense of morality at all. One minute they are partners, and the next they will betray each other.
BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao was extremely embarrassed; he didn't know how to communicate with Yang Chen.
However, something even more embarrassing happened to him.
The president's office called him.
“Mr. Pacquiao, please immediately pursue Yang Chen for the 1000 billion eagle dollars debt. You must recover it before the UN General Assembly convenes. This is a direct order, and there must be no mistakes.”
