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

Although Mr. Ma's words were somewhat discouraging, they were also very reasonable concerns. Normally, a sports company could not possibly support a market value of 3 trillion yuan.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "If I buy in tomorrow at over 80 yuan, Sihai Sports' stock price can't possibly fall any further. They think our company lacks technology? That's easy to fix. We'll just add some high-tech products and services. At the beginning of last year, I already had the apparel and shoe R&D departments start developing high-tech jerseys and shoes. I also had the LED department develop LED basketball courts, the sporting goods department develop high-tech basketballs, and Sihai Sports partner with Sihai Sports to develop AR and virtual reality. I know that once Sihai Sports goes public, the market will definitely push up its stock price. Everyone knows I never exploit domestic investors, so I've long been prepared. No matter how high the market pushes Sihai Sports' stock price, I will make sure the company deserves that market value. Just hold your shares and collect dividends; don't worry about the stock price."

Mr. Ma immediately laughed heartily and said, "We have absolute confidence in Chairman Yang's work. I propose that we all raise a glass to Chairman Yang to thank him for bringing China its first World Cup title, and also to thank him for managing Sihai Sports so well!"

Everyone present immediately raised their glasses to toast Yang Chen, who smiled and nodded in response.

Chen Xi and others took out their phones to film the scene, recording the scene of various capital executives toasting Yang Chen.

Many big shots who would kill to even meet him are now all gathered together to toast Yang Chen, which speaks volumes about Yang Chen's status in the underworld.

After the celebration banquet, Yang Chen said goodbye to the big shots and boarded a helicopter to go home.

He had just arrived home when the China Securities Regulatory Commission called him.

"Chairman Yang, good evening. I hope I haven't disturbed your rest?"

"President Liu, you're too kind. What is it? Please tell me."

"That's right, Sihai Sports' stock price is indeed ridiculously high. My boss asked me to talk to you about it, and we still need to guard against the risks."

"You don't need to worry. I know what I'm doing in my own company, and the problems you're worried about won't happen."

"Haha... I'm relieved to hear that, Chairman Yang. I'll reply to the leader like this, so he won't worry. I won't disturb Chairman Yang's rest any longer, bye."

Sihai Sports is incredibly popular. Even people who don't trade stocks have opened accounts to buy Sihai Sports shares, and some have even downloaded trading software to follow Sihai Sports' stock.

At 9:15 a.m., the stock market entered the pre-market auction phase, and unsurprisingly, Sihai Sports' stock price immediately hit the daily limit.

At 9:30, the stock market officially opened, and Sihai Sports' stock price hit the daily limit, with an astonishing 1259 million lots of buy orders at the top of the buy list.

The number of comments in the Sihai Sports stock comment section of mainstream trading software such as Tonghuashun is updating at a rate of hundreds per second, causing the reviewers of major trading software to crash. They had no choice but to suspend the comment function of other stocks and only open the comment section for Sihai Sports.

"My God, 12.7 million sell orders! In my 20 years of stock trading, this is the first time I've ever seen so many sell orders."

"It's already worth 31762 trillion! And there are still so many people wanting to buy? Are these retail investors so volatile? A World Cup title isn't enough to support such a high market value. Have you all gone mad?"

"That's the nature of retail investors: chasing highs and selling lows. The more sharply a stock rises, the more aggressively they buy, and no amount of reminders helps. Once they're trapped, they complain that the stock is bad, the company is garbage, and the management is incompetent. Anyone with a brain knows that Sihai Sports' stock price is at least 80% overvalued, yet so many people are scrambling to buy it. Who else would lose money if not you?"

"Mr. Yang holds 89.99% of the shares, which means that his personal wealth from just Sihai Sports alone has reached 28582 trillion, which is nearly 4000 billion Eagle Dollars, surpassing Masters to become the world's richest man. However, Sihai Sports is just the most inconspicuous of Mr. Yang's many companies. It is hard to imagine how much wealth his electronics, smart technology, and pharmaceutical companies will bring him after they go public. I think he can become the first billionaire with assets of 10 trillion."

……

Just as everyone was hotly debating what the reasonable market value of Sihai Sports was, Sihai Sports' subsidiary, Xingchen Sports Products, officially announced two new products.

"We are pleased to introduce two new products jointly developed by our company and Sihai Intelligent. The first is a smart jersey, and the second is a smart shoe."

"In addition to the basic functions of traditional jerseys such as breathability and comfort, the smart jersey incorporates smart technology. It can sense data such as an athlete's heart rate and body temperature, and transmit the data to the corresponding terminal device for administrators to monitor at any time. At the same time, our AI will also analyze the probability of player injury based on the data, providing coaches and trainers with an accurate reference. Moreover, its print can be changed through the system, such as the team's color scheme, name, player name, number, etc. In the future, player transfers can be directly adjusted through the system, eliminating the need to destroy or sell old jerseys at a discount."

"In addition to all the functions of traditional basketball shoes, these smart shoes incorporate intelligent technology to protect players' ankles. They analyze data such as foot strength and speed to determine if a player needs to rest and assess the probability of injury. Furthermore, our shoes feature superior elasticity, allowing even those who are simply walking to easily dunk. There's no need to worry about landing and injuring your feet; their shock absorption and cushioning easily overcome this problem. Wearing them, you too can experience the exhilarating feeling of NBA players performing various fancy dunks."

"The Sihai Sports Star Sports Goods Zone will launch globally at midnight tonight, and offline stores will gradually stock the products starting tomorrow. Jerseys will have a unified retail price of 299 Dragon Coins per set domestically and 99 Eagle Coins per set overseas. Basketball and soccer shoes will have a unified retail price of 599 Dragon Coins per pair domestically and 199 Eagle Coins per pair overseas. We will also be launching sports shoes suitable for other sports, as well as smart sports shoes suitable for the general public. Please stay tuned!"

Clearly, the timing of Sihai Sports' announcement of these two products is widely seen as a strategy to maintain its stock price.

But is it a bit too much to think that you can maintain a market value of over 3 trillion just by relying on jerseys and sneakers?
Sure enough, many people in the Sihai Sports stock commentary section expressed a pessimistic attitude.

"This is hilarious! Mr. Yang doesn't think he can maintain a market value of 3 trillion just by selling jerseys and sneakers, does he?"

"Is it really that amazing, given how incredible it's advertised?"

"The jersey can change color and modify various data, and it can also intelligently sense heartbeat and analyze the athlete's physical condition. This is not a jersey, it is clearly a magic suit."

"I thought Mr. Yang would remind everyone not to blindly buy Sihai Sports stock and would also let the stock price fall back to a reasonable level. It seems I misjudged him. He is just like other capitalists, thinking about reaping money from retail investors. Isn't the purpose of announcing these two products at this time? I don't believe that these two products can maintain Sihai Sports' market value of over 3 trillion yuan."

……

Some people don't believe it, but others will.

At midnight, the Sihai Sports APP experienced a data explosion, with users from all over the world flocking to search for the newly launched jerseys and shoes. In just one hour, jersey orders exceeded 1 million, basketball shoe orders exceeded 600,000, and football shoe orders exceeded 900,000.

This is the influence of Yang Chen's personal brand. Over the past four years, he has won over most people around the world. It's just that some people in certain countries deliberately oppose him for political or other reasons, but this does not affect those people's private use of Yang Chen's company's products and services.

At this time, the bald eagles are at their daytime working hours.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver received the newly launched jerseys and shoes from Sihai Sports and, together with the league office staff, tried them on to experience them.

After a friendly match, the data administrator came over with the data report to share with them.

"It's amazing! I can hardly believe that humans can develop such a miraculous product. I initially thought they were exaggerating, but now that the data is right in front of me, I have to believe their claims are true. If I had to give my opinion, I would absolutely agree to replace all the players' jerseys and shoes with Yang Chen's products. Here are your individual data sheets; you can take a good look at them."

Xiao Hua and the others took their data sheets and examined them carefully.

After a moment, Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Personally, I feel that Yang Chen's jerseys and shoes are indeed more comfortable than the existing ones. Coupled with such amazing intelligent data analysis and the ability to change colors and data at will, it's really too tempting. But what will Nike and other companies do if we adopt Yang Chen's jerseys and shoes?"

The vice president immediately said, "That's easy. Players who have signed jersey or shoe contracts can wear whatever they want, and regular players can wear Yang Chen's jerseys and shoes. Think about it, each player will only need one set of clothes in the future. Home games will use the home jersey colors, and away games will simply use the away jersey colors. This is more economical and more environmentally friendly. Moreover, we also need to incorporate some high-tech elements to enhance the NBA's prestige; otherwise, people will always think we're just a bunch of physically strong but mentally weak people playing basketball."

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense. In that case, we'll immediately send trial samples to each team and ask them to give their feedback within three days. We'll hold an online meeting to discuss it then, and if most clubs agree to switch to Yang Chen's jerseys and shoes, we'll do it immediately."

The vice president nodded and immediately arranged for delivery to each club.

At this moment, Real Madrid Club.

The big boss, Esterias, was watching the training match as the players changed into their Stars jerseys and boots, while the data analyst next to him was staring at the screen, observing the data analysis of each player.

Esterias walked over and asked, "So, is the data accurate?"

The data analyst immediately replied, "It's incredibly accurate. This one software program has replaced all our other software and equipment; it's truly amazing. The data analysis shows that Mbappe's tackle just now had a 90% probability of injury, and he's been injured several times before because of that move. I really think the Starry Night jerseys and boots are incredible; the technology is so advanced."

Esterias laughed heartily and said, "These are products that Yang Chen has high hopes for. He's counting on these two products to help him maintain Sihai Sports' market value of over 4000 billion euros. It seems he's going to succeed again. It's hard not to love such powerful jerseys and shoes." Soon the training match ended, and the players all ran over to look at their data analysis.

Esterias seized the opportunity to ask, "Guys, what do you think of the new jerseys and boots? Would you like to wear them to the game?"

Mbappe immediately said, "Boss, to be honest, I love this outfit and these shoes so much. They are the most comfortable clothes and shoes I've ever worn, bar none. I would wear them 24 hours a day, not just for a game."

Bellingham added, "I feel the same way, and I think it's so cool that it can change color and alter data. I'd be willing to wear it out on the street to show it off."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Esterias smiled and said, "Great! Since everyone likes it, let's change the clothes and shoes to the Stars jersey and shoes. I'll contact other clubs to discuss it, and if everyone is willing to change, then we'll apply for a change across Europe."

Meanwhile, a number of European clubs, including Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Bayern Munich, are testing the Stars jerseys and boots, and almost all players have given positive feedback.

Sihai Group.

Yang Chen called Chen Xi and Gao Ya to his office.

“We already have high-end machine tools, and we should also get into high-end medical devices. Chen Xi, you work with Gao Ya to register a medical device company as soon as possible, and place it under the Sihai Pharmaceutical Group. Once the company is set up, I will provide the engineers with technical drawings and parameters,” Yang Chen said.

Chen Xi quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Chairman Yang, I will fully cooperate with General Manager Gao to get this task done as soon as possible."

Gao Ya quickly added, "Yes, we will cooperate well and complete the mission as soon as possible."

Yang Chen chuckled and patted his legs, then said, "I think you two can work together to take care of me now."

Chen Xi and Gao Ya exchanged a smile and immediately walked towards Yang Chen.

Just as Yang Chen was making Chen Xi and Gao Ya blush, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called.

Chen Xi and Gao Ya glanced at the phone with great disappointment, both wanting to interrupt the person making the call. They thought it was a terrible opportunity to ruin someone's plans and curse them.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "You two go to work, I need to take this call."

Chen Xi said, "You just answer your call, we won't say anything."

Gao Ya immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, you answer your call and don't worry about us. We'll just keep quiet."

Yang Chen was speechless. He should have known better than to tease them.

Yang Chen answered the phone and asked with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Xiao Hua, what's up?"

Xiao Hua laughed heartily and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Yang's team on winning the World Cup, and congratulations to Mr. Yang's sports company on its listing. I've come to wish you well, and by the way, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Xiao Hua. What kind of business do you want?"

Xiao Hua immediately said, "That's right. We tried out Mr. Yang's company's newly launched smart jerseys and shoes, and everyone agreed that the product quality is very high. Therefore, we would like to sign a cooperation agreement with Mr. Yang's company and fully adopt your newly launched smart jerseys and shoes."

Yang Chen said with a smile, "That's great, thank you Mr. Xiao Hua."

“If Mr. Yang has no problem, we will send a professional team to Jiangcheng to discuss the details of the cooperation with you. Is that alright?” Xiao Hua said.

Yang Chen replied, "Okay. Come on over, I'll inform Sihai Sports to make preparations for your arrival."

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll leave no later than tomorrow night. We can talk again if there are any problems then. Bye!" Xiao Hua said happily.

"Okay, bye-bye," Yang Chen replied.

Yang Chen happily hung up the phone, kneaded Chen Xi and Gao Ya's delicate skin, and said with a smile, "You two did a great job. I'll secretly give each of you a gold brick later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi and Gao Ya worked even harder, afraid that Yang Chen might be dissatisfied in the slightest.

At 2 p.m., Yang Chen had just woken up from his afternoon nap when he received a call from Real Madrid's big boss, Esterias.

"Mr. Yang, congratulations! Congratulations on the team's championship win, the company's listing, and the market value exceeding 4000 billion euros. This is truly a cause for celebration," Esterias said with a smile.

"Haha... Thank you, thank you. Come visit sometime, I'll treat you well," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Esterias immediately said, "Huh? How did you know I was going to come looking for you?"

"Haha..." Yang Chen laughed loudly.

Esterias quickly added, “That’s right. We’ve tried Mr. Yang’s smart jerseys and shoes, and everyone thinks they’re excellent. I’ve also spoken with other club owners, and they all gave them very high praise. So we want to work with Mr. Yang and switch our jerseys and shoes to his products. We’ve assembled a negotiation team to go to Jiangcheng to negotiate with Mr. Yang in person, and I’m the head of that team.”

Yang Chen immediately said, "Haha... I see. Adam Silver called me this morning; the NBA is also planning to use our jerseys and shoes. They'll be here by tomorrow night at the latest. When are you planning to come?"

Esterias replied, "We will take a private plane to Haicheng in three hours, and after landing, we will head straight to Jiangcheng to meet you."

Yang Chen said, "Okay, I'll inform Sihai Sports to make arrangements for your arrival. I'll treat you to a meal when you get here."

"Haha...it's settled then. See you tomorrow!" Esterias said happily.

Foreign leagues and clubs were impressed by Yang Chen's smart jerseys and shoes, and China was no exception.

Shortly after, the heads of Longchao and LBA called Yang Chen one after the other. They also wanted to send a team to discuss the details of the cooperation with Yang Chen. In the future, Longchao, LBA, and their subordinate secondary leagues will all switch to Xingchen Smart jerseys and shoes.

Even more impressive was the announcement from the sports department—few words, but a huge deal.

"It is recommended that all athletes who are eligible to use Starry Sky smart jerseys and shoes use them as their competition equipment."

Although this announcement is short, its authority and influence are greater than any advertisement.

Is Sihai Sports' market value of 3 trillion yuan a high level?

Isn't that a bit too low? (End of Chapter)
