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

The profit-seeking nature of capital is on full display at this moment. What does face matter? How much does face cost per pound? Is it more important than a long string of numbers increasing in a bank account?
Poor Interactive Entertainment instantly became a clown, going from being protected with the full force of the nation to being abandoned in an instant.

Carmen called Perkins, president of Interactive Entertainment, and instructed him: "The president means you should admit defeat and reissue the announcement about giving away Yang Chen's business for free."

Perkins: "..."

I am Dragonscale Horse, would you like to hear what you have to say?
“Mr. Carmen, is this really appropriate? Are you playing us for fools? We surrendered right away, but you insisted we stand up for ourselves. We obeyed your orders and stood up for ourselves, and now you want us to surrender again. Is it fun to repeatedly humiliate our dignity?” Perkins questioned.

Carmen chuckled and said, "We don't need to explain ourselves to you; you just need to do as we say. Of course, you can choose not to do as we say, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Carmen immediately hung up the phone, which angered Perkins so much that he slammed the phone down and then launched into a tirade of profanities directed at the families of the Bald Eagle's top executives.

After venting his anger, Perkins still dutifully held a meeting with shareholders and executives to convey the orders from higher-ups.

The shareholders and executives were furious when they heard this; they never expected to be tricked by their own people.

However, like Perkins, they could only curse a few times, but in the end they still had to obey the orders of their superiors and admit defeat for the second time.

Before the Bald Eagle stock market opened, Interactive Entertainment reissued the announcement that it had withdrawn regarding the free business offered to Yang Chen.

At this moment, the interactive entertainment stock commentary section exploded with discussion.

"Fuck! What's going on? Weren't we supposed to use the entire nation's resources to protect the stock price? Is this all the national strength the bald eagle has to offer? Giving up after just one day?"

"Haha... This is hilarious. The withdrawn announcement has been reissued. I've seen plenty of surrenders, but I've never seen anyone surrender repeatedly like you guys. Do you think you're not shameful enough, so you're surrendering twice in a row to get attention?"

"Fuck! It's over! I bought in at 180 Eagle Dollars after Wall Street pushed the price up, am I going to be stuck with this? Fuck! I think it's too unbelievable that White House colluded with Yang Chen to harvest our wealth."

……

When the Bald Eagle stock market opened, Interactive Entertainment's stock price predictably collapsed at the open. Wall Street investors who had previously bought in turned into short sellers, scrambling to sell, because they knew that the earlier they sold, the smaller their losses would be.

The shift from bullish to bearish on Wall Street is that smooth; all it takes is a small promise from Yang Chen.

Under the relentless selling pressure from Wall Street, Interactive Entertainment's stock price fell to 30 Eagle Dollars before it stopped falling. At this point, it had dropped 215 Eagle Dollars per share from the 245 Eagle Dollars when Yang Chen shorted it. Roughly estimated, Sihai Investment made a profit of 187.8 billion Eagle Dollars from shorting Interactive Entertainment.

Perkins called Yang Chen again, saying very humbly, "Mr. Yang, we know we were wrong. Please be lenient and let's stop here. We'll still sell the NBA gaming business and the 2K brand to you for 1 Eagle Coin. Please help us get the stock price back up, thank you."

Numerous previous cases have proven that once Yang Chen shorts a stock, only he himself can turn the price up by going long; no one else can do so. That's why Perkins made this request.

Yang Chen said, "Then you send your team over to sign the equity transfer agreement with me. After the agreement is signed, I will help you bring the stock price back up."

Perkins quickly replied, "Okay, okay. Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you, Mr. Yang."

Getting punished and still having to thank them, that's just unbelievable.

With the visa-free policy in place, anyone who wanted to go to China could do so at any time. Perkins immediately led a team to China to sign the contract with Yang Chen.

After the signing was completed, Yang Chen paid Perkins 1 Eagle Coin on the spot, and the NBA gaming business and the 2K brand both belonged to Yang Chen personally.

Perkins' team did not leave immediately; they stayed tonight to see how Four Seas Investments could pull Interactive Entertainment's stock price back up.

Let them look; there's no technology that can't be seen anyway.

The Bald Eagle Stock Exchange opened in the evening.

Sihai Investment immediately bought shares of Interactive Entertainment to liquidate its positions. After the liquidation was completed, the profits of all accounts were calculated and Zhao Jing reported the results to Yang Chenting.

"Chairman Yang, all short positions have been closed. This operation has yielded a total profit of 194.68 billion Eagle Coins. You can buy back in at any time to go long."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Then let's buy and go long. We'll take as much as we can within 100 Eagle Dollars. Mr. Perkins is watching here, so we can't let him make a wasted trip."

Zhao Jing immediately replied, "Okay, I'll get started right away!"

Yang Chen spoke to Perkins in Eagle Language: "Mr. Perkins, you'd better watch closely, the moment of witnessing a miracle is about to begin."

Perkins immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Yang. Let's broaden our horizons and see how Mr. Yang operates."

"Haha... Actually, operating stocks is very simple. If you want to go long, just buy; if you want to go short, just short sell. That's how I operate every time, and I succeed every time. Why can't you guys succeed?" Yang Chen said.

Perkins: "..."

Not only were Perkins speechless, but his entire team was speechless as well. If stock trading were that easy, everyone would be a billionaire, and the United States wouldn't have been repeatedly exploited and humiliated by him.

Yang Chen wasn't lying; he did indeed do it that way. It's just that he had the system's function to succeed, while others didn't have the system and therefore couldn't succeed.

Sihai Investment went on a buying spree, acquiring 230 million shares in the blink of an eye, while panic selling was met with a massive buy-back from Sihai Group.

Zhao Jing approached Yang Chen and reported, "Chairman Yang, we purchased 2.3 million shares at 100 Eagle Dollars each, for a total cost of 151 billion Eagle Dollars."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay. Sell when the stock price rises back to 300 Eagle Dollars."

Zhao Jing immediately replied, "Understood! Trader, listen to my command, set a liquidation order of 300 Eagle Dollars."

All traders immediately set up sell orders in the trading system for orders exceeding 300 Eagle Dollars.

Interactive Entertainment's stock price rose rapidly, from 120 Eagle Dollars to 150 Eagle Dollars to 180 Eagle Dollars, and by the close of trading, the stock price had rebounded to 198.56 Eagle Dollars, almost breaking the 200 Eagle Dollar mark.

Perkins' team was completely dumbfounded. Was Yang Chen's method of boosting the stock price really that simple and effective?
"Mr. Yang, how did you manage to do that? Why does the stock price keep rising after you buy in? Is it really that amazing?" Perkins asked curiously.

Yang Chen replied, "Is that so amazing? If I buy so much, retail investors and institutions will definitely follow suit. If everyone goes long, won't the stock price rise?"

“But why doesn’t the stock price rise when Wall Street buys in? Why aren’t retail investors and institutions following suit?” Perkins asked. Yang Chen smiled slightly and asked, “Is any of them named Yang Chen?”

Perkins' eyes widened suddenly, and he instantly realized what was going on.

“Understood, understood, Mr. Yang’s name is a guiding light! We accept our defeat wholeheartedly this time, and there’s nothing more to say. Thank you, Mr. Yang, we’ll take our leave now,” Perkins said.

Yang Chen nodded, got up and saw them out of the trading room, and then other staff members guided the Perkins team away.

Yang Chen was just about to go home to sleep when BlackRock CEO Pacquiao called.

"Mr. Yang, have you intervened to boost the stock price of Interactive Entertainment?" Pacquiao asked.

Yang Chen replied, "Yes! They signed a transfer agreement with me, so I helped them bring the stock price back up."

“Mr. Yang, you always manage to short the market and then drive the price up twice to make money. I really admire your skills. If I had Mr. Yang’s abilities, why would I need to work in any other industry? I could just trade stocks every day and comfortably amass a fortune beyond measure,” Pacquiao said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "When you have a lot of money, it loses its appeal. What's so attractive about money that you could never spend since the time when humans were still apes? At this point, you can only find a sense of accomplishment in other industries."

Pacquiao said with great admiration, "I can't understand the level of understanding Mr. Yang is talking about, but I really admire Mr. Yang for having such a level of understanding. So when are we going to start shorting Europe?"

“We can start preparing now. However, since we have a financial cooperation agreement with Europe, it's not convenient for me to act directly. I need to use your help to short-sell Europe. You understand what I mean?” Yang Chen said.

Pacquiao immediately replied, "Understood! Mr. Yang, all you need to do is short Europe with us. You don't need to put up a single penny. After we make a profit, we'll split it 50/50 with each of us. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Pacquiao is really smart. Then you guys get ready. Let me know when you're ready, and we'll operate under your command."

Pacquiao quickly replied, "Okay, okay. Mr. Yang, wait for my news, and we will prepare as soon as possible."

Yang Chen hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.

Yang Chen called Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao Hua, we can cooperate now."

Xiao Hua laughed heartily and praised, "Mr. Yang is truly amazing! This operation left me speechless. He not only gained business for free but also made a fortune through short selling. I admire you, I admire you..."

"Haha... Mr. Adam Silver, please don't say such things. Let's get straight to business. This business will give you NBA a 1.9% profit-sharing right, and you need to promote it with all your might. Is that alright?" Yang Chen said.

Although 1.9% was a bit low, Xiao Hua didn't dare to bargain with Yang Chen. He would give whatever Yang Chen asked for.

“Whatever Mr. Yang says goes, I’ll do as he says,” Xiao Hua quickly replied.

Yang Chen said, "Okay, it's settled then. Hang up."

The next morning, Sihai Sports issued three announcements in succession.

The first announcement was that Sihai Sports acquired Yang Chen's NBA gaming business and 2K brand for 10 billion Eagle Coins.

The second announcement states that Sihai Sports has obtained authorization from FIBA ​​and will immediately begin production of a new NBA 2K game that allows players to replace their own game characters. In addition to all NBA teams, it also includes international teams.

The third announcement is that Sihai Sports has obtained authorization from FIFA and will immediately begin production of a new football game that allows players to replace their own game characters.

If other companies did this, everyone would definitely criticize them for allegedly transferring benefits, but Yang Chen's actions are acceptable, as evidenced by the comments in the Sihai Sports stock review section.

"Haha... Thanks to Mr. Yang's amazing move, you've added another money-making business to Sihai Sports. Let me tell you, 100 yuan is definitely not the limit for Sihai Sports, it's even possible to go over 200 yuan. Just wait and see."

"Interactive Entertainment has been completely ruined. They surrendered twice and were completely manipulated by their own people."

"Boss Yang's operation is really amazing. He bought 1 Eagle Coin and sold 10 billion Eagle Coins. You can't find another person in the world who can make money so fast."

"Is this operation against the rules? Please don't break the rules, we're still waiting for Sihai Sports to surge."

……

Soon after the stock market opened, Sihai Sports' stock price indeed surged, quickly hitting the daily limit and reaching 111.10 Dragon Coins, with a total market value of 38885 trillion.

Yang Chen's goal was not to make Sihai Sports the world's most valuable company, but to keep the stock price fluctuating around 100. Therefore, he immediately instructed the traders at Sihai Investment to ensure that the stock price of Sihai Sports remained stable, without any sharp rise or fall.

The announcement from Sihai Sports that it was producing basketball and football games quickly reached the ears of Tencent CEO Pony Ma.

Pony Ma was immediately intrigued, since basketball and football games allow players to switch characters, so why not try it in Tencent's games as well?
Little Ma immediately called Yang Chen, saying with a smile, "Chairman Yang, the news has been all about you these past two days."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Brother Ma, just say what you want to say. There's no need for such formalities between us."

Little Ma laughed heartily again and said, "Mr. Yang is certainly a man of few words. Alright, I won't waste any more time, let's get straight to the point. I'd like to ask Mr. Yang if it's possible to make our game so that players can replace some characters' appearances with their own?"

Yang Chen immediately replied, "Of course. Our technology isn't picky about content; users can freely replace their avatar with their in-game appearance."

Little Ma said happily, "That's great! I'll send a team to meet with Chairman Yang right away."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, come on over, I'll be waiting."

Ma is a decisive person, and his negotiation team arrived in the afternoon.

Both parties held friendly consultations on issues such as co-developing games, and ultimately reached a cooperation agreement, which was signed and came into effect.

VR technology is the result of Sihai Intelligent's R&D team, but in order to allow Sihai Sports to also ride the wave and thus easily stabilize its stock price above 100, Yang Chen specifically brought Sihai Sports into the picture.

Subsequently, Sihai Sports, Sihai Intelligent, Sihai Electronics, and Tencent jointly issued an announcement stating that the group would cooperate with these companies in areas such as video and games.

This announcement quickly became a trending topic online and once again boosted the stock price of Sihai Sports. (End of Chapter)
