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

Chapter 294 Chang'e System Package Announced, Three Major Telecom Operators Collectively Reduce

At 9 p.m., two Long March 5 carrier rockets launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on time, and the ascent of the two rockets was broadcast live to audiences around the world in a split-screen format.

At this moment, the chat in the TikTok live stream room of Star Satellite Communications Company was filled with comments.

"Is China really that confident? Launching two rockets at the same time? Is their space technology that advanced?"

"They've already landed on the moon, isn't launching a satellite the simplest operation? What surprises me is that you're surprised."

"These two rockets have successfully launched, and the whole of Europe is now under Yang Chen's surveillance. From now on, the people of Europe will have to be more polite to Yang Chen. If they dare to freeze his assets without cause again, the consequences will be even more severe than before. He can control and eliminate targets from his home via satellite signals."

"It seems the only solution is to vigorously develop plasma shield technology to render his satellites ineffective; otherwise, no one on Earth can stop him."

"Other countries should join forces to stop Yang Chen from launching a satellite. What he's doing is a threat to people all over the world. A businessman should just focus on doing business; why is he getting involved in satellites?"

“I also think we should join forces to deal with him. He is undermining the existing international order, and we should not let him succeed.”

……

The more foreigners felt threatened by him, the more it proved that Yang Chen was right.

Ninety minutes later, all 15 satellites were successfully sent into their designated orbits.

From now on, the ground control room needs to debug these satellites and ensure that all systems are working properly before the launch can be considered a success.

The next day at noon, the delegation from the Sand Kingdom, led by Holdan, arrived at the Xingchen Military Industry Group Industrial Park.

Yang Chen led them on a tour, and finally they arrived at Xingchen Satellite Communications Company to sign the contract.

Holdan trusted Yang Chen completely and didn't discuss anything unnecessary. He only asked Yang Chen to guarantee that he could deliver on the services mentioned on the phone, and the two parties signed a cooperation agreement directly.

Subsequently, Star Satellite Communications announced its first satellite cooperation contract.

"We are very grateful for the trust our long-time partner, the Sand Kingdom, has placed in us. Our company has signed a permanent cooperation agreement with the Sand Kingdom, making it the first country to use the Chang'e system. Each user can enjoy the Chang'e navigation system for just 50 Eagle Coins per year, including 100 minutes of satellite talk time and 10GB of data traffic per month. We sincerely welcome other countries to discuss cooperation. The sooner we establish a partnership, the more favorable the price will be. Once we reach a certain customer base, we will need to focus on profits, and the price will be much higher then."

Before the people of the Sand Kingdom could even rejoice, netizens from the Dragon Kingdom couldn't sit still any longer.

"50 Eagle Dollars a year, which is about 360 RMB, includes 100 minutes of free calls and 10GB of data. That's such a great deal! Why isn't this service available in China first?"

"Will the three major telecom operators feel scared after seeing this? Yang Chen is about to enter the telecommunications market, and the era of the three major telecom operators making money while lying down is over."

"The wheels of history are rolling forward, and no one can stop them. It's such a good deal to buy 100 minutes of calls and 10GB of data for 30 yuan a month. The key is that it's satellite calling and data, so you can use it all over the world without any blind spots."

"Although Mr. Yang has always focused his main efforts on making money in overseas markets, good products and services like these should be prioritized for the domestic market. Let us use them first, and then we can consider foreigners."

……

The mobile company headquarters held an emergency meeting.

Pan Heming, chairman of China Mobile, said with a serious expression: "The wheels of history have finally rolled over us. Master's Starlink has not yet succeeded, and Yang Chen's Chang'e system has arrived. 30 yuan a month for 100 minutes of talk time and 10G of data, this is forcing us to also reduce fees and increase benefits."

Vice President Cheng Qian immediately said, "The country is spoiling him now, letting him break into industries with complex interests one by one, just like when they tacitly allowed Jack Ma to change the banking industry. Before, when Yang Chen started his gas station business, he actually forced the two oil giants to leave the Jiangcheng market. Now he wants to get involved in the telecommunications industry, and I'm afraid we can't stop him either. My suggestion is to quickly launch a reasonably priced package to retain customers; that's the key. Don't even think about using resources and connections to suppress Yang Chen; it will definitely not end well."

Marketing Manager Chen Le said, "Yang Chen is on a killing spree overseas. Anyone who dares to mess with him, he'll take them down. So many world-renowned mercenary organizations can't do anything to him, how can we possibly compete with him? It's okay to earn a little less, as long as we're making money."

The finance manager sighed and said, "That's true, but earning less means cutting employee benefits. It's like giving away benefits that originally belonged to us to his employees, which is really infuriating."

From their discussion, it's clear that although they were all unhappy, everyone understood that they couldn't go against Yang Chen, let alone try to use their connections to suppress him, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

Yang Chen doesn't care what others think of him, as long as he can fulfill his ultimate ideal.

Now he wants to make "letting some get rich first to help others get rich later" a reality, not just a slogan.

The benefits reduced by the mobile company will be transferred to the people of Jiangcheng. Once Jiangcheng has developed to a certain level, Yang Chen will use Jiangcheng as the core to radiate outwards and gradually expand to the whole country.

At this time, companies such as China Unicom and China Telecom were also holding similar meetings to discuss countermeasures.

Ultimately, they all chose to lower their fees and increase their benefits, just like the China Mobile Group, and matched Yang Chen's 30 yuan package.

The mobile company was the first to issue an announcement.

"China Mobile Communications Group is committed to providing comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable services to global customers, truly prioritizing customer experience. Starting April 1st, we will launch a new package in the Chinese market – the RMB 29 Unlimited Plan, which includes 120 minutes of voice calls, 8GB of data, and 1000 SMS and MMS messages. Existing plans can be upgraded to the RMB 29 Unlimited Plan free of charge. In the future, we will continue to strive to provide customers with more affordable and higher-quality services."

What does this package mean?

现有的移动98元套餐包含150分钟主叫通话和20G流量,对比29元的120分钟主叫和10G流量,他们会少赚很多钱。

Subsequently, companies such as China Unicom and China Telecom also issued announcements.

China Unicom has launched a 30 RMB Enjoy Package, which includes 100 minutes of talk time, 10GB of data, 1000 SMS messages and MMS messages.

China Telecom has launched a 28 yuan package that includes 120 minutes of voice calls, 10GB of data traffic, and 1000 SMS and MMS messages.

Both companies also allow existing customers to switch to a new plan for free starting from next month's 1st.

This shows that the earlier you launch, the more disadvantageous you are, because competitors can use the data to designate more favorable packages.

The three major telecom operators collectively launched price reduction and feature enhancement packages, which quickly ignited the network.

The comments from netizens were very hurtful to them.

"Thanks to Mr. Yang for bringing down the communication fees. It's all thanks to Mr. Yang! One announcement scared the three major operators half to death, forcing them to quickly launch low-priced packages to retain customers." "Back then, Mr. Ma changed the banking industry, but before he could change other industries, he stopped. Now the heavy responsibility has fallen on Mr. Yang's shoulders. The oil industry has already achieved some results, and now it's time for the communications industry to make a change."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for letting us use this affordable and comprehensive package. My phone number is linked to too many accounts, so it's not easy to change it, but I will definitely support you by using a phone with the HarmonyOS system."

The heads of the three major telecom operators were eagerly anticipating the praise from netizens, but when they saw the unanimous comments praising Yang Chen, they were instantly taken aback.

Pan Heming, chairman of China Mobile, said angrily, "Are you kidding me? We're the ones who lowered prices and increased features, shouldn't they be praising me? Why are they all praising Yang Chen? Is there no justice in this world? I'm losing so much money to support Yang Chen's show-off?"

On the other side, Zhou Chuanyin, chairman of LianTong Group, also said angrily: "Are these netizens out of their minds? Shouldn't they be praising us for the discounts we gave them? What's the meaning of all them praising Yang Chen? Damn it, we're giving them so much benefit at a loss, but we don't get any credit. All the credit goes to Yang Chen."

Zhu Youhua, the CEO of the telecommunications group, was also muttering angrily.

"These idiots are hilarious, they're killing me with laughter. It was the three of us who reduced fees and increased equipment, and they all went and praised Yang Chen. These idiots are all out of their minds. Damn it, I feel like we lost big time. We made less money, but all the good reputation went to Yang Chen. Who the hell can I reason with?"

This principle is actually the same as when people praise Jack Ma rather than the banks when they make changes. It's because they didn't make changes voluntarily to benefit the people; rather, they were forced to make changes because they had no other choice.

Therefore, people will naturally attribute the credit to the person who forced these industries to make changes, rather than thanking the industries for making those changes.

The cooperation agreement signed between Yang Chen and the big dog was quickly spread to the outside world, and foreigners who were used to high communication costs were collectively shocked.

Take the bald eagle as an example; just look at the comments from bald eagle netizens to see how vulnerable they are.

"What? This kind of plan only costs 50 Eagle Dollars a year? You might as well kill me already. I'm using an AT&T plan, and it costs 50 Eagle Dollars a month."

"I use Master's Starlink global roaming plan, which costs 400 Eagle Dollars per month. Yes, 400, in Eagle Dollars. Wang Defa! Both are satellite services, so why is Yang Chen's so cheap? Less than 5 Eagle Dollars a month. Even if I exceed my data and call time limits, I can't possibly use more than 400 Eagle Dollars."

"Now do you know how much money those capitalists make? Yang Chen's service fee for a year is less than their fee for a month. Even at such a low price, Yang Chen still makes a profit. This shows how much money companies like AT&T have made from us."

"It's not surprising at all. Ever since I directly settled accounts with the Chinese on Red Book, I've known that the Bald Eagle is a country with no future. I'm just living one day at a time now, hoping to be reborn as a Chinese person in my next life. Whether I'm Chinese or Bald Eagle, a high-end, luxurious lifestyle is irrelevant to me. But the cost of living for an ordinary person in China is just too low. Of course, there are other countries with even lower costs of living than China, but those countries are as backward as they were 30 years ago, so low costs are meaningless. The most livable country in the world is China, without a doubt."

Yang Chen is from China, and his company is based there. Once satellite coverage extends globally, he will also provide services to domestic users. In order to retain their customer base, the three major telecom operators had no choice but to quickly lower prices to show their sincerity.

However, AT&T, Starlink, and other companies are owned by the United States, and their solution is not to lower tariffs, but to prevent Yang Chen's communications and navigation business from entering the US market.

AT&T President Stankey called Garnett, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the United States, and said bluntly, "Mr. Garnett, I don't want Yang Chen to work in the telecommunications industry in the United States market. Is that too much to ask?"

Garnett laughed and said, "It's not excessive. To protect the privacy of our citizens, we won't open the telecommunications market to Yang Chen. It's just that the prices of the packages he offered are really too cheap. Even if he can't enter our market, our users will definitely complain about you."

"Haha... As long as I can make money, I don't care what they say. That's settled then, bye," Stanki said with a laugh.

At that moment, Master, the owner of Starlink, was attending an event when a reporter asked, "Mr. Master, isn't your Starlink service fee too high? Yang Chen just signed a cooperation agreement with the Sand Kingdom, and his Chang'e system package is much cheaper than yours. Will you lower your price to remain competitive?"

Master laughed and said, "There are no such plans for now. Let's see when he can fully enter the overseas market. Besides, nobody knows the quality of his products yet, so comparing us now is a bit disrespectful. I don't compete with him in other industries, but in this field, I am unique in the world. I know that competitors will definitely emerge in the future, and he could be like Yang Chen, but not now. Without ten years of accumulation and development, he couldn't possibly have such technology."

The reporter continued, "But he doesn't need time to accumulate experience in any field he enters; what he brings out is always the most advanced technology. Even in the new energy vehicle industry, he has overtaken Tesla at an unstoppable pace. He even forced you to adopt his solid-state batteries. Isn't it too frivolous of you to underestimate him like this?"

Master replied with a smile, "I'm not belittling him, but making a reasonable prediction based on scientific logic and my personal experience. I believe he will succeed in the future, but certainly not now. The Sand Kingdom will soon regret signing the agreement; we'll wait and see."

In fact, Master had no choice, because Yang Chen's Chang'e system was a direct competitor to his Starlink. If he were to affirm the technological content of Chang'e, it would be tantamount to driving away existing customers.

Therefore, he had to be stubborn and try to keep the client in line for as long as possible.

Master's words also reveal that he believes Yang Chen's Chang'e system cannot be used on a large scale overseas because the United States will definitely prohibit the Chang'e system from entering the American market on the grounds of national security.

When Yang Chen was formulating the Chang'e plan, he had already considered that the bald eagle would do such a thing, so he had made preparations well in advance.

The new YC02 and SH02 models all come with a built-in app. Each phone generates a unique code after activation, which is the phone's virtual number. Through the built-in app, users can make and receive calls and send messages globally.

Overseas customers do not need to buy a new SIM card after purchasing; they can directly link their bank cards to top up and purchase service packages.

Unless the US can use a technology similar to a plasma shield to cover the entire territory and block satellite signals, US users can use their mobile phones and Chang'e packages normally.

The wheels of history keep turning, and with technology having advanced to this point, no one can stop people around the world from embracing new technologies.

Zheng Kaiyang, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, called Yang Chen.

"Chairman Yang, congratulations! I wish your Chang'e system can be completed as soon as possible," Zheng Kaiyang said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Minister Zheng. I appreciate your kind words and hope everything goes well. What can I do for you, Minister Zheng?"

Zheng Kaiyang quickly replied, "No, no. The day after tomorrow is the day of the Entrepreneurs' Congress. The leader asked me to talk to you and see if there's anything we can do for you."

"Thank you. I don't need to prepare anything special, I'll just go and participate," Yang Chen replied.

Zheng Kaiyang quickly said, "Chairman Yang will be speaking on behalf of the entrepreneurs, and Yangshi News and other media outlets will be filming and reporting live. So Chairman Yang needs to say something positive and inspiring. It doesn't have to be educational, but it should at least be something that convinces the other entrepreneurs. President Ren from Longwei Group will also be there, so your speech needs to be even more dignified and appropriate than President Ren's. You understand what I mean?"

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Then let President Ren speak directly. In terms of seniority, he should be the representative. How can I, a rising star, represent him? Director Zheng, please report to the leadership that I do not wish to speak and let President Ren speak instead."

Zheng Kaiyang laughed heartily and explained, "President Ren has the most seniority, that's beyond doubt. But in terms of contributions in all aspects, Chairman Yang's contribution is undoubtedly the greatest. One person can lift up an entire city; only Chairman Yang has done that throughout history, both in China and abroad. The leaders specifically requested you to speak on behalf of the nation, and no one can replace you. You represent the entrepreneurs with the highest level of technological expertise in China today, and you also represent the future of the country; it is only right that you speak on their behalf."

Yang Chen was also helpless and could only say, "Alright, I'll get ready."

Zheng Kaiyang said with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay, Chairman Yang, please get ready. If there's anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Okay. Got it," Yang Chen replied.

Yang Chen also needed to pull himself together and carefully prepare his speech. The entire nation, and even the world, would be watching him; he couldn't afford to mess up. (End of Chapter)
