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

Chapter 277 Blackwater Group asks Yang Chen for 10 billion Eagle Dollars to treat the wounded; Highest Technology Award presented.

Upon hearing that Japan and South Korea were to be dealt with, these European bigwigs immediately expressed their excitement.

“We are interested, thank you Mr. Yang for bringing us!” said Deutsche Bank President Horns.

Barclays President Boris Johnson followed up, saying, "We are also interested. Thank you, Mr. Yang, for leading us to make money together."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay! Then you should prepare as soon as possible and wait for my notification."

The CEOs immediately nodded in agreement, pledging to follow Yang Chen's instructions in everything.

Not long after Yang Chen hung up the phone, Bai Zhi, the president of Sihai Medical, came over to report on her work.

“Chairman Yang, the Blackwater Group just contacted us. They want to send those unconscious people here for treatment. Their president’s plane arrives at Haicheng International Airport at 8 PM tonight and he will check into the Jiangcheng State Guesthouse around 10:30 PM. He wants to discuss the costs and other issues with you in person. Do you want to see him?” Bai Zhi reported.

Blackwater Group finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to beg Yang Chen for help. If there was money to be made, they would definitely make it; a little hardship was worth it.

"Then let's arrange to meet at your place. I'll come over later, and you can have someone prepare dinner so we can eat together," Yang Chen said.

Bai Zhi was overjoyed. She hadn't expected to receive a personal reward while working, and she immediately ran back to make arrangements.

The management office of Sihai Medical is located on the third floor of Sihai Building. This floor was specially chosen by Yang Chen for them, symbolizing "the birth of all things from the three," hoping that patients who go to Sihai Hospital can survive.

After getting off work in the evening, Yang Chen told Chen Xi and the others to go home, while he went to the third floor to find Bai Zhi to have dinner together.

Bai Zhi had prepared a meal in her office, and Yang Chen started eating as soon as he arrived.

It was only a little before 7 o'clock when we finished eating, still a long way from 10:30.

Bai Zhi deliberately snuggled against Yang Chen and whispered, "It's still early, and it's quite boring for us to just wait like this. Why don't we do something fun? What do you think?"

Yang Chen nodded and asked, "What happy thing happened? Tell me about it."

While tying her hair up, Bai Zhi said seductively, "Lie back on the sofa, close your eyes, and you'll feel happiness in a little while."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and focused on the happy things Bai Zhi had mentioned.

At 10:30, Yang Chen, along with the Sihai Medical team, met with the team led by Bradley, the president of Blackwater Group.

As the defeated party, no one from the Blackwater Group dared to look Yang Chen in the eye.

Seeing their nervousness, Yang Chen reassured them, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Let's keep things separate. I'm here on behalf of Sihai Medical to discuss business with you. It's getting late, so let's get straight to the point. We only accept patients who are unconscious due to damage from nanobots. We don't accept other types of injuries. The fee is 500 million Eagle Dollars per patient."

Bradley quickly said, "500 million per person is far too expensive. The 13.8 billion Eagle Dollars we compensated StarCraft Military Industry were all borrowed from Wall Street. We simply cannot afford such high treatment costs. How about 100 million Eagle Dollars?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "If other hospitals could treat this, you wouldn't have come to us, would you? Such a complex repair treatment must be very expensive. We won't force you; if you can accept it, send yourself for treatment; if not, this is where it ends."

Bradley was driven to desperation by the families of the injured employees. The families had collectively hired lawyers, and if Blackwater refused to treat the injured, they would sue in court. In that case, Blackwater would not only have to treat the injured, but also pay a large sum of money in compensation. The total loss would definitely be higher than the 500 million Eagle Dollars treatment cost for each injured person.

Bradley and his team discussed it and ultimately decided to accept Yang Chen's offer.

However, they also made a demand: Sihai Medical must promise to heal the wounded.

Yang Chen said with great confidence, "We guarantee to heal their brain injuries, but we do not cover the treatment of other injuries."

Bradley nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled then. We have a total of 205 unconscious wounded soldiers who need treatment. Can you take them all in?"

Yang Chen looked at Bai Zhi, who immediately said, "If the four hospitals share the cost, everyone can receive treatment within a week."

Bradley said, "Okay, it's settled then. We need you to sign a contract with us, a written guarantee that the wounded will be healed."

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "We can't sign a contract now because we can't confirm whether the patients you send are all injured by nanobots. If you've mixed in some patients with other conditions that caused their coma, then things could get complicated. Send the patients over first, and once our doctors have done a preliminary diagnosis and confirmed that the injuries were all caused by nanobots, then we can sign a contract with you."

Bradley nodded and said, "Okay! I'll call and charter a plane to bring the wounded over right now. I'd also appreciate it if Mr. Yang could give them a heads-up and get the flight approved."

For the sake of 10.25 billion Eagle Dollars, Yang Chen should do his part.

This is a great opportunity for publicity. Sihai Medical has released announcements on its official website, mini-program, APP, and platforms such as Weibo and Douyin. The announcement states that four Sihai hospitals in Jiangcheng City will receive 205 brain injury patients from the Blackwater Group and use the most advanced nanorobots for repair treatment. The entire treatment process will be broadcast live.

This is a very significant event in the medical industry. If the treatment is very effective, nanorobot surgery can be promoted nationwide, and major media outlets have followed up with reports.

Soon, foreign media also reprinted and reported on this matter, causing a huge uproar on the internet.

Netizens from the Bald Eagle's community immediately broke down.

"Are you kidding me? StarCraft Military Industry used nanobots to attack Blackwater Group members, and then used nanobots to treat them. Is that even allowed? Does that mean Yang Chen can use nanobots to hurt people at will and then wait for patients to come to him for treatment?"

"Yang Chen injured someone, and then the Blackwater Group paid for his treatment. That's too easy money. I could make money doing that too."

"Blackwater Group has really lost miserably this time. So many people have died or been injured, they have to cede mineral resources, pay compensation, and even spend money to find their enemies to treat their employees. Is there anything more humiliating in this world?"

"It's a disgrace that such a large country is powerless against one person. If this door is opened, and the Sihai Hospital becomes unprofitable in the future, he will dare to release nanobots to harm people, and then wait for the injured to come to him for treatment. Creating patients out of the existing ones, this business is really easy."

……

While netizens in the Bald Eagle are furious, doctors there are very interested, waiting to see how nanorobots are used in real-world brain repair procedures.

Tomorrow is the day for the awarding of the State Top Science and Technology Award. Many authoritative media outlets, including People's Daily, Beijing News, and Yangshi News, have announced in advance that Yang Chen will also be a candidate in order to attract traffic and attention.

Yang Chen is now a top celebrity in the world, and his every move attracts everyone's attention.

In previous years, the award ceremony for the State Top Science and Technology Award did not attract much attention, and even after the results were announced, few people would specifically look into the winners' backgrounds.

This year was different; netizens flocked to the live broadcast rooms of media outlets such as Beijing News to watch the awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony was held at the Great Hall of the People at 9:00 a.m.

Scientists who are still alive among the previous laureates attended the event to witness the birth of the new laureate.

"Based on the review by the State Top Science and Technology Award Review Committee, and after voting by previous award winners, and finally confirmed by relevant departments, this year's State Top Science and Technology Award is awarded to Mr. Yang Chen in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of plasma weapons."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause as Yang Chen walked onto the stage to accept the award amidst the attention of everyone and the close-up shots of the media.

The leader, accompanied by hostesses, went on stage and personally presented Yang Chen with the medal.

"Well done, I've been following you. Keep it up, and I hope you'll continue to bring us more surprises. The strength of our motherland and the rejuvenation of our nation need young people like you. I hope you set a good example for young people and let more people learn from your patriotism, love for the country, national confidence, cultural confidence, and technological confidence. Even if not everyone can become a talent, at least everyone can become a good person."

"Thank you for the praise, leader. I will continue to work hard! I have a part in making the country strong, and I also have a part in the road to national rejuvenation. In my lifetime, the Chinese nation will surely return to the top of the world."

At this moment, the live stream chat on Jinghua News Agency was filled with comments.

"Congratulations!"

Congratulations! Congratulations! Well deserved!

"Warmest congratulations on the birth of the youngest recipient of the State Top Science and Technology Award!"

"Mr. Yang is still so young. I can't imagine how many times he will receive the highest science and technology awards when he reaches retirement age."

"I also want to take Mr. Yang as my role model, but I'm not qualified."

"With my abilities, all I can do is learn from Mr. Yang's national self-confidence."

……

Yang Chen accepted the medal and the 800 million yuan prize check, then walked to the microphone to give his acceptance speech.

"Thank you to the leaders at all levels, thank you to the review committee, and thank you to all the senior colleagues. This award is just the beginning. In the future, my teams and I in various fields will continue to produce new research and development results. Everyone's abilities are different, and their contributions will be different, but we can all have a sense of national pride and self-confidence. Remember this: we have been ahead for thousands of years, but we have only taken a detour temporarily. Now we are back on the right path, and returning to the top is inevitable. Go China! Go China people!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. The award-winning veterans saw Yang Chen as if they were seeing their younger selves. They remembered how they had once been just as spirited as Yang Chen and hoped that he would achieve even greater success and status than they had.

After the awards ceremony, Yang Chen thoughtfully stepped forward to greet the senior colleagues. The seniors also warmly shook hands with Yang Chen, praised his talent for his youth, encouraged him to continue his efforts, and exchanged phone numbers with him so they could communicate anytime if needed.

At this moment, reporters from major media outlets flocked to interview Yang Chen and other award-winning seniors.

Beijing News reporter: "Mr. Yang, how are you feeling now?"

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Excited."

People's Daily reporter: "Mr. Yang once refused the Nobel Prize, but now he has accepted the State Top Science and Technology Award. In your opinion, is the State Top Science and Technology Award more prestigious than the Nobel Prize?"

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "That's natural. The Nobel Prize may have been very prestigious in the past, but in recent years everyone has seen through its true nature. When authors who belittle their own country and praise other countries can win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and when warmongers can win the Nobel Peace Prize, you should know that there's no need to compete for these awards anymore. Our highest science and technology award is given to those who are truly exceptional, and all winners have stood the test of time. Therefore, I naturally feel that the highest national science and technology award is purer and more prestigious."

Yangshi reporter: "Mr. Yang, what are your expectations for the future?"

Yang Chen replied, "My greatest hope is that I can see China return to the top of the world in my lifetime."

The People's Daily reporter then asked Tu Youyun, "Professor Tu, what is your opinion of Mr. Yang Chen? I know you have always liked him very much, and you even argued with the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences about him before."

Tu Youyun looked at Yang Chen with admiration and said with a smile, "I guess I was one of Mr. Yang's first fans. I liked him a lot when he first debuted and I had high hopes for him. It turns out I was right. He is indeed someone worth looking forward to. His achievements are beyond my words. I just hope he can stay true to his original aspirations and remember what I said here today. What I want to say is that it's too slow for Mr. Yang to see China return to the top of the world in his lifetime. I hope I can see China return to the top of the world in my lifetime."

"Haha..." The whole audience burst into laughter.

The leader, who was not far away, saw this scene and smiled with satisfaction and pride.

A nation has a past, a present, and a future; why should we worry about not achieving the great rejuvenation of the nation?

After the interview session, a hostess came over to lead everyone to the luncheon.

Given the exceptionally high level of attention this awards ceremony garnered, and to demonstrate the nation's respect for scientists, the luncheon was arranged entirely according to the standards for entertaining foreign leaders, making it a very high-profile event.

Netizens had the opportunity to see the dishes served at state banquets, which broadened their horizons.

After the awards ceremony, Yang Chen and his female companions went shopping at SKP.

Nobody recognized Yang Chen when he came last time, and he and Chen Xi had a great time shopping.

Yang Chen is now a household name not only in the country, but also a celebrity abroad.

He was recognized by citizens as soon as he arrived at the entrance of SKP, and everyone came up to ask for photos.

As more and more people took photos with him, the bodyguards had to step forward to separate the citizens from Yang Chen and escort him into SKP shopping mall.

Yang Chen smiled and said to his female companions, "Pick whatever you want, buy as much as you can, I'll pay for everything today."

The girls immediately became excited and rushed off to pick out what they needed.

Yang Chen has made so much money and deposited no less than 10 billion yuan into his female companions' accounts. He should enjoy life and live extravagantly as he pleases. Otherwise, what's the point of making so much money?

At this point, the onlookers started to jeer.

"Mr. Yang, are these all your girlfriends? They look so healthy!"

"Ha ha……"

Yang Chen smiled at them but didn't say anything.

At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd. Everyone quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of bodyguards leading the way. Mr. Liu from Jingdong and his wife walked over with smiles on their faces.

"Chairman Yang, it's been a long time. I knew you were shopping here, so I came to see you." General Manager Liu said with a smile.

Out of courtesy, Yang Chen stepped forward a few paces to greet Mr. Liu and then to Mrs. Liu.

"I'm flattered, haha..." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Mr. Liu said with a smile, "Chairman Yang, you're too kind. I should be the one who's flattered. Let's have dinner together tonight. There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

“Okay, Mr. Liu will make the arrangements for tonight,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Mrs. Liu went shopping with her entourage, while Mr. Liu accompanied Yang Chen as they walked and chatted.

Shortly after, Luo Jun, president of the rice group, arrived.

"Wow, Mr. Liu, you're really fast! Hello Chairman Yang, hello Mr. Liu," Luo Jun said with a smile.

Yang Chen shook hands with Luo Jun and greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Luo. You look a bit weathered. You've been very busy lately."

Luo Jun laughed and said, "Of course! It's all because of the car issue; it's driving me crazy."

Mr. Liu joked, "You're just too focused on your personal brand. I've never heard of a car company taking responsibility or its CEO apologizing after a car accident. Aren't you tired of that? You should learn from those foreign and joint-venture car companies. As long as the car itself is of good quality, you don't need to worry about it. If they want to make a fuss, let their legal department handle it. If you keep doing this, consumers won't be grateful to you, and it won't mean that this matter will have no negative impact on you just because you handle it seriously. You'll just end up looking so haggard."

Although what Mr. Liu said didn't sound very pleasant, his reasoning was indeed correct.

Over the years, countless accidents have occurred involving foreign-owned and joint-venture vehicles, yet we've never heard of car companies being held responsible after an accident.

As long as the car itself is of good quality, it can be handled by after-sales and legal departments. The boss always handles every little thing himself. To put it nicely, it's called respecting consumers; to put it bluntly, it's a lack of class.

Luo Jun sighed and said, "I have no choice. I'm personally tied to the company, and I can't cut ties now. I have to think about the company and the investors. Chairman Yang, I'll arrange for us to have dinner together tonight. There's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Mr. Liu immediately patted Luo Jun's arm and said, "What's going on? Chairman Yang has already accepted my invitation. You can go and join the queue, or you can come along tonight, as long as Chairman Yang agrees."

Yang Chen said, "If you don't mind, then I don't mind either. It'll be more lively with more people."

Luo Jun immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Chairman Yang, and thank you, General Manager Liu."

"Haha..." The three bosses burst into laughter.

The crowd of onlookers were taking pictures with their phones; this is a rare sight indeed.

At this moment, there was another commotion in the crowd, as Zhang Yuming, the CEO of Douyin, arrived.

Zhang Yuming laughed heartily and said, "President Liu, President Luo, you're quite fast! Greetings, Chairman Yang, President Liu, President Luo."

Yang Chen smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yuming, jokingly asking, "You also have something to discuss with me?"

Zhang Yuming replied with a smile, "There must be something to discuss, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb Chairman Yang's shopping. I'll make arrangements for tonight..."

Luo Jun immediately interrupted, "What are you going to arrange? I'm already late, how could it be your turn to make arrangements? If it's President Liu who makes the arrangements, we'll just eat along with him."

"Haha... Chairman Yang, President Liu, you won't mind if I'm one of you, will you?" Zhang Yuming asked.

Mr. Liu said with a smile, "If Chairman Yang doesn't mind, then I have no problem."

"I'll say it again, the more people there are, the more lively it will be," Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Haha..." The four big shots burst into laughter.

The onlookers took photos and discussed the incident.

"Boss Yang's status is no joke; so many big shots are rushing over to see him."

"So even big shots are ranked, and Boss Yang is clearly the biggest of the big shots."

"Any other big shots coming? I want to see how many big shots will come to meet Boss Yang today."
