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

Although the exact amount of Yang Chen's current wealth cannot be estimated, the fact that the value of his shares in just one company, Sihai Sports, surpasses the total wealth of the world's richest man, Masters, has naturally aroused the interest of people all over the world.

Master was attending an event when the reporter brought up this issue during an interview.

Reporter: "Mr. Master, one of Yang Chen's sports companies has gone public, and its market value has exceeded 4500 billion Eagle Dollars. He personally holds 89.99% of the shares, which are worth more than 4000 billion Eagle Dollars. What are your thoughts on this?"

Master laughed and said, "Wow, that's a terrifying number. But I don't think a sports company can maintain such a high market value. It's just riding the wave of China winning the World Cup. Once this hype dies down and investors regain their senses, its market value will definitely drop. I think 100 billion Eagle Dollars is its reasonable market value."

Reporter: "How much? 100 billion Eagle Dollars? But its current market value is over 4500 billion Eagle Dollars, doesn't that mean it needs to drop by 99% to reach a reasonable price?"

Master laughed heartily and said, "Of course, for a sports company in China, a market value of 100 billion Eagle Dollars is already the maximum; it can't be any higher. Perhaps all his companies would have to be listed to catch up with my wealth. What I mean is that at a reasonable market value, this kind of hype and speculation is not convincing."

Reporter: "But Sihai Sports just released jerseys and shoes that use high technology as a gimmick, and sales are pretty good. What do you think?"

Master laughed and replied, "If you were a stock market investor, you wouldn't be asking me this question. Anyone with a little stock market experience can see through this low-level hype. For their own app, displaying sales figures is just a matter of the programmers clicking a few buttons, isn't it?"

The reporter laughed and said, "I understand. Thank you for the interview. Have a nice day."

Subsequently, the Wall Street Journal published an article criticizing the Chinese stock market investors for blindly praising the market value of Sihai Sports.

In their view, Sihai Sports' market value of 4500 billion Eagle Coins is the biggest bubble in the history of the capital market. The immaturity of China's capital market is fully reflected in Sihai Sports' market value. They even questioned Yang Chen about how he planned to end things.

The article by Master and The Wall Street Journal quickly caused a huge uproar on the international internet, with netizens from various countries posting comments to express their support for Master and The Wall Street Journal.

A Japanese netizen commented: "Although I'm Yang Chen's idol, I really can't support him in this matter. No matter how much hype a sports company does, it can't possibly support a market value of 4500 billion British dollars."

A South Korean netizen commented: "Winning the World Cup will give Sihai Sports a huge boost to its stock price. I especially agree with Master's statement that once this wave of hype dies down, Sihai Sports' stock price will inevitably plummet. I also agree with his assessment that Sihai Sports' reasonable market capitalization is 100 billion US dollars. Let's wait and see."

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "These idiots, haven't you gotten a beating lately? Are you itching for a fight? Do you think you can just casually comment on Yang Chen? What will you do when he finds another excuse to short your company? Tesla's stock price has already plummeted, do you want it to keep falling? Does the whole world need to announce something like this so publicly?"
A German netizen commented: "I estimate that only netizens from the Sand Kingdom will continue to support Yang Chen this time. Anyone with a modicum of rationality would find it hard to believe that a sports company's market value could reach such an exaggerated 4500 billion Eagle Dollars."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "The German netizens are right, I still choose to believe in my idol. Also, I'll let you in on a little secret: our royal family is going to purchase Mr. Yang's jerseys and shoes, and teams like Riyadh will also be replacing their jerseys and shoes with Mr. Yang's new products. Let's wait and see who's right and who's wrong."

……

To be honest, Dog Boss is a really good partner. He spends money generously and is very loyal. A few days ago, Dog Boss suggested that Yang Chen invest in his business. Yang Chen hadn't decided what to invest in yet, but just because Dog Boss is so loyal, Yang Chen had to seriously consider what projects he could invest in.

the other side.

Real Madrid's big boss, Estelias, led a European football delegation to Sihai Sports. Sihai Sports President Chen Yulong first met with them, and after reaching an agreement, Yang Chen attended the signing ceremony and signed cooperation agreements with European football clubs in his capacity as chairman of Sihai Sports.

To achieve better publicity results, this signing ceremony will once again be broadcast live globally.

Chinese netizens can watch the live stream on Douyin, while foreign netizens can watch it on platforms such as TikTok.

When Yang Chen arrived at the signing ceremony, Real Madrid's big boss, Esterias, along with stars like Mbappe, came forward to greet him.

At this moment, Mbappe and other star players were wearing technological jerseys and shoes launched by Star Sports.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, "What do you all think of our jerseys and shoes?"

Mbappe immediately replied: "It's amazing. I never thought that jerseys and shoes could be so high-tech. It even reminds me that some difficult moves have a high risk of injury and suggests that I use them less or not at all in the future. Haha... It understands me better than my trainer."

Bellingham said, "Once I put them on, I didn't want to take them off. I'm wearing them like pajamas now. The system will remind me if I'm too hot or too cold, which is so thoughtful."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "You've discovered a new use for this! We never thought jerseys could be used like this. When we release a children's version, we can use this as a selling point, and Mom won't have to worry about me being too hot or too cold anymore."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

At this moment, the chat in the Douyin live stream room is filled with comments.

"Bellingham is a real talent; he actually found a new use for him."

"You know what, if they really release a children's version, I'll definitely get a set for my son. It even has temperature reminders, so I won't have to worry about whether he's hot or cold."

"Haha... There's a kind of cold that only your mom thinks you're cold. Everyone else is wearing this jersey, so your mom knows whether you're cold or not."

"It seems like Mr. Yang's two new products are going to be huge hits again, and they're bound to create a buying frenzy worldwide."

"I told you that there's no need to worry about Sihai Sports' high market value. It's Mr. Yang's company. No matter how high the market value is, the performance will definitely match it."

……

After some casual conversation, the signing ceremony officially began.

Yang Chen represented Sihai Sports, and Esterias represented European Football. Both parties signed and sealed the cooperation agreement.

At this moment, the chat in the Sihai Sports TikTok live stream was filled with comments.

"Oh my god, are you kidding me? European football club owners are still afraid of Yang Chen? Are they so eager to show their sincerity?"

"It's hype, absolutely hype! Yang Chen is clearly exploiting the fear European clubs have of him, demanding that they cooperate in creating news to maintain the stock price."

"I don't believe anyone would actually believe such a low-level hype. Those investment institutions aren't stupid. How could they be fooled by such a simplistic hype? Just wait and see. It won't be long before they sell off their shares, cash out, and leave. Then Sihai Sports' stock price will be a complete mess."

……

The signing ceremony was about to end, and the host gave a preview of the afternoon's program.

"Thank you for joining us. This live broadcast has now ended. We will be broadcasting the signing ceremony between Sihai Sports and the NBA at 4 PM this afternoon, and the signing ceremony between Sihai Sports and the LBA and Longchao at 8 PM tonight. Please stay tuned."

Upon hearing this live stream announcement, the viewers in the live stream room were stunned. Why didn't it feel like a publicity stunt?

At 4 PM, the signing ceremony between Sihai Sports and the NBA was broadcast live on time.

At this moment, Yang Chen is chatting and laughing with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, with their respective entourages behind them.

Adam Silver also brought LeBron James and Stephen Curry, who are extremely popular in China, and had them demonstrate the effect of wearing the Stars jerseys and shoes.

Although both stars have shoe contracts, Nike and Under Armour were beaten up by Yang Chen and begged for mercy, so they naturally wouldn't dare object to James and Curry wearing Stars jerseys and shoes.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, "What do you two think of how our jerseys and shoes look on you?"

James immediately smiled and said, "This is fantastic. I would say it's the most comfortable jersey and shoes I've ever worn."

Curry said, "If this shoe had been released earlier, I probably wouldn't have been mocked by some haters as being 'glass man,' and my ankles wouldn't have been so easily injured. The most amazing thing is that it reminds me when it's time to go off the court to rest, otherwise the probability of injury will increase. And at that moment, I do feel my heart racing, my movements slow, and I feel weak, so I think it's really suitable for athletes to wear."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "We never engage in false advertising. Whatever we advertise, that's exactly what the product will be. Mr. Xiao Hua, please." Xiao Hua immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, please."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone and with close-up shots from the cameras, the two bigwigs signed and stamped the cooperation agreement.

According to the agreement, in addition to purchasing jerseys and shoes from Sihai Sports, the NBA will also use the New York Knicks as a test team, with Sihai Sports and Sihai Electronics' LED business unit jointly building a high-tech playing field and basketball hoop for the Knicks' home arena, Madison Square Garden.

Sihai Sports Association takes this opportunity to launch its third high-tech product – LED technology flooring and basketball hoops. This product combines AR virtual and reality technology and will definitely amaze people all over the world.

At this moment, the chat in the Sihai Sports TikTok live stream was filled with comments.

"This is definitely not a joke; the NBA is really going to adopt star-studded jerseys and shoes. Are their jerseys and shoes really that amazing?"

"With both James and Curry here to endorse it, it's definitely not fake. I believe that with their wealth and status, they wouldn't lie to everyone."

"Securing the NBA and European football markets is equivalent to securing the global basketball and football markets. Even if only one percent of the population buys them, they can still sell a lot of jerseys and shoes, leading to a huge surge in performance. The stock price is unlikely to fall in the short term."

"This is unbelievable. Could it be that after all his crazy moves, Sihai Sports' market value will actually stay above 4500 billion Eagle Dollars?"

Clearly, some foreigners were starting to waver in their beliefs. Yang Chen wanted to gradually convince them that Sihai Sports' 4500 billion Eagle Dollar market value was still a bit too cheap.

In the evening, the signing ceremony between Sihai Sports, Longchao, and the LBA League was held as scheduled. After the cooperation agreement was signed, the two leagues will purchase jerseys and shoes for all club players to change into.

Some people might ask, how many professional players are there?

If we expect these league purchases to be used by the players, we won't be able to sell many, so the impact on the company's performance will be very limited.

That would be a misconception. The benefits of partnering with these leagues and alliances don't come from players wearing Sihai Sports jerseys and shoes. Rather, it's about leveraging the influence of these leagues and alliances, as well as star players, to drive fan purchases. The primary target customers for Sihai Sports jerseys and shoes are still ordinary fans.

Yang Chen was extremely busy all day. He had just returned to his villa by helicopter when Prince Holdan of the Sand Kingdom called.

"Mr. Yang, congratulations! Your new product is about to become a global bestseller. As your loyal customers, we must also get our hands on one!" Holdan said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, thank you. So, what are your plans?"

Holdan replied, "We will purchase 10,000 sets for the royal family members, and all basketball and football clubs in the country will immediately switch to Mr. Yang's jerseys and shoes. We also want to set up Sihai Sports Goods outlets in the country to supply consumers nationwide through offline and online channels."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Sure, you can send someone over to sign the contract. We're old partners, so we can talk about anything."

Holdan laughed and then said, "Mr. Yang is right. We've been partners for a long time, and it's too much trouble to contact you every time. You haven't responded to the investment I mentioned to you before. Is it because you think we don't have any investment projects here, or is there some other reason? You told me directly that we can solve any problem."

Yang Chen quickly explained, "I just haven't decided what to do yet."

"Then I'll help Mr. Yang think of a project that I guarantee you'll be satisfied with," Holdan tempted.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Sure! What project is it, Prince Holdan?"

Holdan was overjoyed; Yang Chen had indeed "fallen into the trap."

“We’ll allocate a plot of land in Riyadh for you. You can develop this land into a trading zone for Chinese technology products, and have all the drones, robots, mobile phones, jerseys, and shoes produced by your companies brought here for exhibition and sale. You can also select other Chinese companies to join you, using our country as a springboard to radiate throughout the entire Middle East. In the future, if you have new products, you can directly list them in this trading zone, saving us the trouble of making a special trip to China to negotiate cooperation with you. What do you think?” Holdan said.

I must say, this idea is pretty good.

Yang Chen said very frankly, "Prince Holdan's idea is really good. I think we should give it a try."

Holdan immediately said happily, "If Mr. Yang thinks it's feasible, then let's do it this way. We'll give you a 5-kilometer-diameter area next to Riyadh International Airport. You can decide how to develop it; we won't interfere. But there's one thing: as you know, this area is quite chaotic, and we also have UAE troops stationed here. We certainly can't protect this trade zone with our capabilities. So, Mr. Yang will need to protect it himself, but we can cover all the costs. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had a feeling that he had been tricked, but the feeling wasn't very strong, and he couldn't figure out where he had been tricked.

“Sure! No problem! As long as there’s no problem on your end, there’s no problem on my end,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Holdan was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.

“No problem, no problem, we have no problem at all. Even if there are problems, we will overcome them ourselves. Mr. Yang, just do as we say. Then this matter is settled. I’ll go report to the Crown Prince now,” Holdan said excitedly.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it's settled then. Prince Holdan, please report this to the Crown Prince."

Holdan hung up the phone excitedly and rushed to see Crown Prince Salman.

"Your Highness, it's done! It's done! I've finally convinced Mr. Yang Chen to set up a trade zone here, and he'll be in charge of security. We'll just provide the funding," Holdan said excitedly.

In other countries, this would be a very uncomfortable situation, but in the case of the wealthy dogs, it's the complete opposite. They feel that being able to solve problems by giving money is something to be proud of and happy about.

Salman smiled and nodded, praising, "I always trust Uncle's work. Now we can rest assured. With Yang Chen building the unmanned combat base here, let's see who dares to mess with us."

Holdan laughed heartily and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will definitely continue to work hard and not let you and the King worry about such trivial matters. Tomorrow I will take my team to Jiangcheng to have a good talk with Mr. Yang Chen and try to get this matter into the agreement so that he can't regret it."

Salman laughed and said, "Alright, leave everything to your uncle. I just want the final result."

Holdan nodded, bid farewell to Salman, and left.

In the early hours of the morning, the special plane carrying the Holdan delegation flew to Haicheng.

When Yang Chen arrived at work in the morning, the Holdan team was already waiting for him in the break room.

Yang Chen entered the lounge with a smile and said, "Prince Holdan, everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Holdan quickly stood up and shook hands with Yang Chen, saying with a smile, "We should apologize; we arrived too early, which was a bit impolite."

Yang Chen smiled and hugged Holdan, then said, "Prince Holdan, you're being too polite. We're the closest of partners. You're welcome to come anytime. Let's go to the conference room to talk."

Yang Chen led the Holdan team to a small conference room to officially begin cooperation negotiations between the two parties.

On other issues, whatever Yang Chen asked for, Holdan would agree to without hesitation. However, when it came to the issue of how to protect the trade zone, Holdan rejected Yang Chen's proposed solution outright.

Yang Chen's idea was to send members of Star Guard to be in charge of security in the trade zone. This would indeed protect the trade zone, but the security of the Sand Kingdom would still not be guaranteed.

Yang Chen asked, "What does Prince Holdan mean? Tell me."

Holdan said, "Then I'll be frank. We can allocate another piece of land next to the trade zone for Mr. Yang to build an unmanned combat division. We will cover all the costs, including base construction, equipment, and subsequent maintenance. We will pay for everything that costs money."

Yang Chen exclaimed in shock, "What? An unmanned combat division?"

That tycoon is something else! He orders a whole division right off the battalion line. Keep in mind that Yang Chen's unmanned combat battalions in Jianpu Village and Taiguo were already incredibly impressive, but Holdan's demand for a division is just asking for too much. (End of Chapter)
