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

Yang Chen was reading documents in his office when a convoy of military vehicles pulled up at the gate of the Sihai Group.

The gatekeeper called Chen Xi to report the situation at the main gate. Chen Xi quickly went to Yang Chen's office to report: "Chairman Yang, Mr. Jiang has arrived. He has a very large entourage, with more than twenty cars."

Yang Chen got up and went to the glass wall to look at the main entrance. He then instructed, "Let them in and take them to the main conference room."

Chen Xi quickly replied, "Okay, I'll notify the security guard to let us through right away."

Not long after, Yang Chen met with Jiang Wenming's team in the main conference room.

"Chairman Yang, congratulations! The successful horn blast has shocked the world!" Jiang Wenming said with a smile.

Yang Chen immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! Mr. Jiang, what brings you all this fuss?"

Jiang Wenming said with a smile, "We are here on orders to discuss the purchase and sale of horns with Mr. Yang."

They couldn't resist the lure of huge profits, as expected.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, inviting everyone to sit down and chat.

As instructed by the leadership, the sirens procured by the Chinese military must be fully equipped, using stealth materials and further enhanced with plasma film for enhanced stealth.

In addition, some horns require a standard set of plasma shield equipment and an electromagnetic cannon equipment, while other horns do not require these and only need to be equipped with a plasma film.

The military's procurement price is 2 million Dragon Coins per aircraft. How the money is allocated will be negotiated between Starry Sky Military Industry and relevant partner companies. The government will not interfere.

Due to the large number of foreign customers seeking to purchase the equipment and the high prices offered, the authorities decided to sell the reduced-spec horns to some countries.

The delivery version of the horn can use ordinary high-temperature resistant materials, without the need for a stealth coating, and the engine is downgraded, with both range and load capacity cut in half.

The price has also been negotiated between the official and overseas clients, at 15 billion Eagle Dollars per aircraft.

Yang Chen was instantly dumbfounded. Did these foreigners have too much money to burn? Buying a horn with this kind of performance for 15 billion Angkor dollars? Isn't that just being stupid?
In response to Yang Chen's doubts, Jiang Wenming explained, "Foreigners aren't stupid, of course. We'll also sign another contract with them. We'll control the right to use the horn. If we determine that the customer should indeed use the horn, we'll send a professional team to the customer's location to install weapons and plasma film, etc. These are all priced separately. The military will then place an order with you to purchase plasma shields or plasma film. In addition, the customer will also need to purchase our radar, early warning aircraft, air defense systems, etc., which will be handled by other companies."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "I see. I was wondering how foreigners could possibly have so much money to burn. So, according to what you're saying, we only need to provide a stripped-down shell and sell it to foreigners for 15 billion Angkor dollars per aircraft, is that right?"

Jiang Wenming nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. The income distribution has also been decided by the leadership. Xingchen Military Industry will take 7%, and the remaining 3% will go to the Aerospace Group and other partners. Does Chairman Yang have any objections?"

"The leaders have already allocated the land, what objections could I possibly have? Besides, they've already given me 7%, so if I objected, I'd just be ungrateful," Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Haha...no, no, no, Chairman Yang, don't overthink it, and don't misunderstand. The leadership has already given instructions that if Chairman Yang has any objections to the allocation, you can negotiate according to your wishes. The country's current attitude is to give you as much benefit as possible, so you can use this money to continue research and development to conquer overseas markets, or strengthen our national defense capabilities, or increase benefits for your employees, etc." Jiang Wenming said.

Yang Chen nodded and said, "I really feel flattered. 70% is enough. After the reduction, my cost is only a little over 10 million. If I get 1 billion Eagle Dollars per aircraft, I would be embarrassed if I were not satisfied."

The biggest cost of the horn is actually the engine, which is provided by the Aerospace Group. Compared to the selling price, the cost on Yang Chen's side is negligible.

Jiang Wenming said with a smile, "As long as Chairman Yang is satisfied, that's good. The leadership specifically instructed that it must be Chairman Yang's satisfaction before it can be finalized. The general framework is set, and now let the professionals discuss the specific details."

Yang Chen nodded and said to Guo Hu, "Hu, call someone over to discuss the details with the military representatives and finalize the contract as soon as possible."

Guo Hu immediately replied, "Okay!"

The two sides finalized the overall framework, and the details were not important. Everything was settled quickly, and the military and Xingchen Military Industry signed a procurement contract.

Not only did the military contract with Xingchen Military Industry for the fully equipped version of the horn, but the military also contracted with Xingchen Military Industry for the reduced-equipment version of the horn needed by foreign customers. In other words, the military acted as a middleman, purchasing the equipment and then selling it to foreign customers in the name of the military.

The purpose of this was to reduce trouble for Yang Chen and to make it easier for the military to negotiate contracts for other equipment with clients.

Because such an expensive horn is a downgraded version, it must be equipped with other features and conditions before foreign customers will agree.

The other equipment and conditions are the government's business and have nothing to do with Yang Chen. He doesn't need to worry about those things; he only needs to take care of his own part.

The military has purchased a total of 200 fully equipped siren-equipped versions for its own use, at a total cost of 400 billion Dragon Coins.

The number of reduced-spec versions purchased by foreign customers is currently agreed upon, totaling 590 aircraft, including 300 from the Sand Country, 20 from Barbadian, 20 from North Korea, 20 from Seville, 50 from Persian Cat, 80 from Pharaoh, and 100 from the United Arab Emirates.

Countries like Russia, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Germany are still in negotiations, and whether an agreement can be reached depends on subsequent negotiations.

Even based on the orders that have already been finalized, the total amount has reached an astonishing 8850 billion Eagle Dollars.

Yang Chen was actually very curious about the leaders' thinking. Why did they need to negotiate with countries like the United States and Japan to purchase their products?
Shouldn't you just refuse outright?
Jiang Wenming laughed heartily and said, "International relations are all about interests. As long as both sides are satisfied with the conditions offered by each other, anything can be discussed. Don't be fooled by the fact that the United States is always up to no good. When it's time to talk, we still have to talk to them. That's international politics."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Although I don't understand, I get it. It's settled then, let's start production here."

"Yes, it's settled. Chairman Yang can start production now. This round of profits is quite good. We hope Chairman Yang can continue to develop new technologies. We're waiting for good news from Chairman Yang," Jiang Wenming said with a smile.

"Haha... I will definitely not let the organization down," Yang Chen replied.

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

Yang Chen wasn't just saying it casually; he genuinely had new technology to upgrade. The high-end machine tool technology that the system had previously rewarded him with was almost ready, and the factory and equipment were all set up. It was expected to be officially put into use by the middle of next month.

Because there are no high-end CNC machine tools available, the Xingchen Motors' third amphibious vehicle project, the Aquarius, which has been stalled for more than two months, should be restarted.

After seeing off Jiang Wenming's delegation, Yang Chen immediately went with Guo Hu to Xingchen Military Industry to hold a mobilization meeting for the employees.

This is a huge order worth nearly 900 billion Eagle Dollars, and the Starry Sky Military Industry Production Department must go all out to produce it diligently.

Those who know Yang Chen know that he is not one to make empty promises. He promised his employees that their year-end bonuses would be increased to eight months' salary.

What concept?

Each worker can receive at least 10 yuan in year-end bonus.

Despite the high year-end bonuses, compared to the profits of around 6000 billion Eagle Coins, the employees' year-end bonuses are negligible.

High profits are also not good. For bosses like Yang Chen who are too conscientious, they always feel guilty if they make too much money and don't share some with their employees.

In the afternoon, Chen Yulong, president of Sihai Sports, came to Yang Chen's office to report on his work.

"Chairman Yang, our sports division is almost ready, and all investors have invested based on a market value of one trillion yuan. More than three years have passed, and we're about to go public. The shareholders' idea is that, taking advantage of the fact that our Sihai team is about to win the World Cup on behalf of the national team, our company should apply for listing at this time. What do you think?" Chen Yulong said.

Currently, Sihai Sports' main businesses include the following:
The first piece, the club.

It includes basketball clubs, football clubs, table tennis clubs, volleyball clubs, and almost all other high-profile sports, and its athletes are all highly skilled, winning championship trophies one after another.

Athletes with good performances naturally attract commercial endorsements.

Last year, the company earned approximately 320 billion yuan through advertising endorsements and other businesses. The second segment is sporting goods.

Currently, the company owns several best-selling brands such as Sihai, Xingchen, and Xingkong. Last year, its total revenue reached 1645.38 billion yuan, and its net profit was 387.45 billion yuan.

The third part is venue operation.

Currently, Sihai Sports has built Sihai Stadiums in all first-tier cities and some second-tier cities across the country. In addition to being used for competitions, they are also rented out to celebrities for concerts and as venues for other events.

The fourth part is investment.

In addition to operating its own clubs, Sihai Sports also invests in other clubs, such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Knicks, and Lakers.

This portion of the dividends isn't much; last year's total revenue was only a little over 78 billion. However, the advantage is that this part is all net profit, making it a worthwhile investment.

There is some revenue and profit left, but they are relatively small and not worth mentioning.

If the current revenue and profit can be maintained, coupled with Yang Chen's personal IP value, it will not be difficult for Sihai Sports to maintain a market value of over one trillion.

However, Yang Chen was still not satisfied. He was not dissatisfied with the company's revenue, but with the meaning of the company's existence.

Yang Chen is not short of money; he wants to do something more meaningful.

Yang Chen instructed, "President Chen, could you arrange for Jiangcheng, Haicheng, and Hecheng to jointly host a grassroots football tournament? The World Cup final is coming up soon, and our team might win. Let's capitalize on this championship hype and make this grassroots football tournament a hit. Ultimately, a sports company should prioritize promoting national enthusiasm for physical exercise, not just focusing on making money."

Chen Yulong quickly replied, "Okay. What about the company's IPO?"

Yang Chen doesn't care about money, and you can't expect the shareholders to be the same way. They invested real money in Sihai Sports based on a trillion-dollar valuation, so of course they still want to make money.

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Then let's prepare for the IPO."

Chen Yulong quickly replied, "Okay. I'll head back now. I'll report to Yang Chen and ask for instructions as soon as anything happens."

Yang Chen nodded, and Chen Yulong turned around and happily went back.

Capital from across the country and even the world is paying attention to Yang Chen's companies.

Just as Sihai Sports was preparing for its IPO, the news leaked out, quickly sparking enthusiasm in the sports sector and the capital market.

It was 14:50 PM, and the market was about to close, but the sports sector was still surging.

In less than 10 minutes, the entire sector rose by more than 6%, with more than 20 stocks hitting their daily limit.

This left stock market investors stunned. After the A-share market closed, they took to platforms such as Weibo and Douyin to ask what happened in the last ten minutes of the day.

Zhang Shi, an elderly capital executive who has been "蹭热度" (蹭热度 means to piggyback on someone else's fame) to Yang Chen, is now a super influencer with millions of followers. Netizens follow him to get first-hand information about the capital circle and Yang Chen.

Zhang Shi naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to gain followers, so he quickly posted a Weibo update explaining what happened in the last ten minutes of Da A's account.

"I've seen everyone's comments, and now I'll tell you why the sports sector surged in the last 10 minutes. There's only one reason: Sihai Sports has decided to go public. According to my information, investment companies and securities firms have valued it at 1.5 trillion yuan. The listing of such a behemoth, coupled with Sihai Football Team reaching the World Cup final and having a high probability of winning, caused the sports sector to skyrocket in the last ten minutes. According to securities law, the maximum shareholding ratio for major shareholders of listed companies with a total share capital exceeding 4 million yuan is 90%. Chairman Yang currently holds 90.56% of Sihai Sports' shares, meaning he will release more shares to retail investors and institutions. If the institutional valuation is accurate, Chairman Yang can directly increase his wealth by 1.2 trillion yuan after Sihai Sports' listing. Last year, Sihai Sports' revenue was 1886.56 billion yuan, and its net profit was 783.5 billion yuan. Do you think it deserves a market capitalization of 1.5 trillion yuan?"

Netizens flocked to leave comments.

"Damn, so that's how it is. That makes sense."

"My god, a sports company valued at 1.5 trillion? Are those institutions crazy? I don't believe retail investors would accept this valuation. It's not even a high-tech company, so why is its market value so high?"

"Don't overthink it when investing in stocks. Just go for it if there's a hot concept and hype. Besides, a net profit of 783 billion yuan is more than enough to justify a market capitalization of 1.5 trillion yuan. Kweichow Moutai has a net profit of over 800 billion yuan and a market capitalization of 1.8 trillion yuan. Sihai Sports is much more valuable than Moutai, so why can't it match a market capitalization of 1.5 trillion yuan?"

"Just remember this: Sihai Sports is Mr. Yang's company. Nothing else matters. How much Sihai Sports' market value rises has nothing to do with its performance or anything else. It all depends on how much Mr. Yang wants it to rise. If you don't even understand this, then you shouldn't be investing in stocks."

"Such a high market value is too dangerous. All of you, stop rushing in. I'm not afraid of danger. Just let me go in."

……

When the leaders of Jiangcheng City government saw the news, they all laughed heartily.

Which city wouldn't want more listed companies?

Moreover, this is a company valued at trillions, which are all real achievements.

Huang Zhenhua immediately called Yang Chen and asked with a smile, "Chairman Yang, congratulations! You're about to have another listed company under your umbrella. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Yang Chen said with a smile, "We are now preparing to hold a championship parade for the Sihai team. We hope that the municipal government can cooperate by planning a route for us and providing the necessary security measures."

Huang Zhenhua laughed heartily and said, "No problem! We'll get the plan ready first, and then we'll take action as soon as the Sihai team wins the championship."

Yang Chen continued, "Then, I want to take advantage of the buzz surrounding Sihai's World Cup victory to boost public fitness. I plan to organize a grassroots football tournament for the amateur football teams from Jiangcheng, Haicheng, and Hecheng. We don't need too many teams, 10-15 will suffice. This will enrich the entertainment life of the people in these three cities, stimulate the development of related industries, and further ignite the enthusiasm of the people for fitness and exercise. What does Mayor Huang think?"

Huang Zhenhua laughed heartily again, "Great! Excellent! Chairman Yang's idea is superb. The Qiandongnan Village Super League was quite successful a few years ago, and we can learn from that experience to organize a three-city league. I will immediately communicate with the governments of Haicheng and Hecheng to finalize this grassroots football tournament project as soon as possible."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Mayor Huang. By the way, those dilapidated roads on Changjiang Road also need to be repaired. Our city's roads need to be worthy of the status of a fifth municipality. We should also add a few more elevated roads to alleviate traffic pressure. When settling taxes at the end of the year, please refund me a little less tax as my support for the municipal government's investment in road repairs to benefit the people of Jiangcheng."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhenhua laughed heartily for a long time without stopping.

Judging from the current situation, Jiangcheng City is destined to become the fifth municipality directly under the central government. Huang Zhenhua and his leadership team will be promoted one level on the spot, so he must be overjoyed.

“No problem, no problem, we’ll do as Chairman Yang says. Oh, by the way, recently housing prices in Jiangcheng have been rising too fast. We’ve introduced various measures, but we still can’t curb the rise in housing prices. Chairman Yang, do you have any good ideas?” Huang Zhenhua said.

Yang Chen replied, "Having the bank directly stop approving loans will only maintain the current total loan volume. Only when a customer repays their loan can a new loan quota be added. This method will definitely work, but it is prone to corruption among those in charge of loan approval at the bank. You should talk to the bank and ask them to keep a close eye on their loan approval officers."

"Hmm, this method is feasible. Let's give it a try and see. That's all for now. I won't bother Chairman Yang any longer. Bye!" Huang Zhenhua said happily.

Yang Chen smiled and then hung up the phone.

Having just discussed traffic congestion, Yang Chen suddenly had a bold idea.

Ground space is always limited, and with the increasing population settling in Jiangcheng, even building more elevated roads will hardly solve the traffic congestion problem.

The subway has been built to its limit; there is no room for further expansion.

Why not make good use of the sky?

The low-altitude economy could be developed.

Yang Chen immediately opened the file disk, found the information on the Scorpio car, and realized it was time to start developing and producing the flying car. (End of this chapter)
