I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.
Chapter 331 Color-Changing Military Uniforms Are a Hit
"After friendly consultation, Longguo Military Supplies Procurement Group and Sihai Sports Group reached a strategic cooperation agreement, under which Sihai Group will manufacture new military uniforms, military boots, and vehicle covers and other military equipment."
The announcement was brief, but it conveyed the intended meaning. Moreover, this announcement was equivalent to publicly disclosing the military procurement situation, which complies with relevant domestic and international laws and regulations.
This announcement has undoubtedly sparked heated discussions both domestically and internationally.
The most lively discussion was naturally in the Sihai Sports stock commentary section.
"Haha... We've taken off! We've taken off! A market capitalization of four trillion is no longer my target. In the short term, I see five trillion, and in the long term, I see ten trillion. Ten trillion seems like a lot, but it's only 1.5 trillion in Eagle Dollars. There are several companies in the United States with a market capitalization of over one trillion Eagle Dollars. As the world's second-largest economy, it's reasonable for us to have a company with a market capitalization exceeding one trillion Eagle Dollars, right?"
"They used to say that sports companies didn't have any technological content, but now they're speechless, aren't they? Even our military uniforms have been replaced with these high-tech clothes, and they still say they don't have any technological content?"
"I can already imagine what our army will look like in its new uniforms. They'll change their uniforms to green in the dense forest and to yellow sand in the desert. It'll be incredibly powerful."
"This uniform can be named Chameleon, so our soldiers can change the color of their uniforms to match their surroundings, just like chameleons. Awesome!"
……
This announcement spread very quickly on the internet, especially in countries like the United States, Europe, Japan, and India, as these are direct competitors.
Netizens from various countries left comments in the comment sections of related news and topics.
Japanese netizens commented: "After they put on their new equipment, they can instantly blend into their surroundings, making it difficult for satellites to detect them."
A netizen named "White-headed Eagle" commented: "Imagine you're surrounded by grass and trees, but then, halfway through your journey, suddenly the grass and trees around you start moving and raise their guns at you. How would you feel? This kind of 'black technology' shouldn't be used for military purposes; it's just too unfair."
A netizen from Da Mao commented: "The equipment in China is getting more and more futuristic. Can we buy this kind of military uniform? That way we can better infiltrate Er Mao's house and surround them."
A netizen named Ermao commented: "You buy, we buy, we infiltrate each other, let's see who suffers more. Anyway, our side is already riddled with holes, so it doesn't matter if it gets any worse. But have you thought about whether you can accept the same losses as us?"
A German netizen commented: "At first I thought it was just a jersey, but I never imagined that this technology could be used on military uniforms. Their imagination and creativity are truly amazing. No other country can compare to them."
A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "I just want to ask if the desert color can be changed? If it can be changed to desert color, we will immediately place an order to equip ourselves and our brother countries with it."
A netizen commented: "Brother Sha, we need this kind of equipment. Your cargo ships should pass through the Red Sea, please."
A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Warning to netizens from Sand Kingdom: Don't mess around. If you dare to buy this kind of equipment for slippers, we'll beat you up."
A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Fuck! Do you think we're easy to scare? Come and fight us, let's see if you can handle the consequences."
Netizens are just making empty threats; high-level officials from various countries are holding tense meetings to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, a high-level meeting of the Bald Eagle military took place.
Hania said with a serious expression, "If the Dragon Kingdom's army gets the new equipment, our satellites will be useless. There's no way to stop it now, so we can only hope that our own army can also get this new equipment."
Another senior officer said, "That's simple. Aren't their jerseys and shoes sold here? There will definitely be many companies disassembling and studying them. We just need to issue a tender notice, and there will definitely be companies that can meet our requirements."
Hania nodded and said, "That makes sense. Let's do it that way. Let's go to Congress now and ask for money to give all the soldiers and equipment new uniforms. It'll cost at least 5000 billion Eagle Dollars."
Another senior officer immediately said, "Absolutely. It will have to be at least 5000 billion Anglo-Saxons, and possibly even over a trillion Anglo-Saxons, given how many soldiers and equipment we have."
Without hesitation, the military immediately applied to Congress for a $5000 billion grant to modernize its forces.
The Dragon Kingdom across the ocean has already changed its uniform, so the parliament had no choice but to approve it immediately.
After being embezzled by various levels of "Smith Commissioners," only 5000 billion of the 1000 billion Eagle Dollars remained to be used for purchasing military uniforms.
The U.S. military has issued a tender for the purchase of color-changing uniforms to provide 135 million soldiers with four levels of uniforms and shoes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, as well as 5000 tanks, 700 multiple rocket launchers, 1300 towed rocket launchers, 36 armored vehicles, and 100 million various firearms and rocket launchers, all equipped with color-changing covers. The tender emphasizes that only U.S.-based companies are eligible to bid.
The moment this tender information was released, it quickly attracted the attention of relevant companies in China. Even companies like Nike joined the research and development effort, striving to disassemble and analyze the secret behind the color-changing properties of the Four Seas jerseys and shoes as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the Sand Kingdom was also holding a related meeting.
Prince Holdan advised, “I always believe that if a problem can be solved by spending money, then we should just spend money. Don’t be stingy with money; if we’re unwilling to spend small amounts, we might end up spending large amounts in the future.”
Crown Prince Salman nodded and said, "I agree. Now that our technology and equipment have been upgraded, we should keep up with the times. I've decided to purchase 400 million sets of military uniforms suitable for the desert environment from Sihai Sports, as well as outer garments for other equipment. Of these, 240 million sets will be given to the 'Slippers' (a company name). Remember to tell them the shipping schedule and route, and let them go and secure them themselves. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The king chuckled and nodded, saying, "My son is absolutely right. We will do as you say. Holdan, I'll leave this matter to you. You have dealt with Yang Chen many times, and I trust you can handle it well."
Holdan immediately said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured, I will handle this matter perfectly. I just want to ask about the approximate budget?"
The Crown Prince laughed heartily and said, "Don't ask about the budget. Just make a list of our needs and give it to him so he can quote a price. We've cooperated so many times before, he should give us a very reasonable price. Just accept it."
Holdan quickly replied, "Understood! After this is over, I'll contact Mr. Yang Chen and we'll talk. Once we've talked enough, I'll bring my team to meet with him and sign the contract."
At this time, Sihai Group.
Zhao Jing happily went to Yang Chen's office to report: "Chairman Yang, the money from Wall Street has arrived. Please take a look."
Yang Chen nodded, glanced at it, and then returned the tablet to Zhao Jing.
"Have any creditors been chasing you for debts recently?" Yang Chen asked.
Zhao Jing shook her head and replied, "No, the creditors from Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Blackwater haven't mentioned asking for money. I guess they're afraid of upsetting you and don't dare to ask for it."
Yang Chen nodded and said, "I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work."
Zhao Jing nodded and left immediately.
Without creditors chasing after him, Yang Chen immediately called Zhang Jingsong, the president of Sihai Real Estate.
"Mr. Zhang, have any debt collectors been coming to collect lately?" Yang Chen asked.
Zhang Jingsong immediately replied, "No, we have too much business right now. Our previous creditors continue to cooperate with us, and we settle accounts on a normal schedule. There's no question of us wanting to collect debts or not."
Yang Chen immediately retorted, "How can that be the same? Didn't I tell you that the debts from Wang Sihai's time cannot be handled privately? You must get my approval before you can settle them?"
Zhang Jingsong quickly replied, "I remember, so the accounts we settled were all from after you took control of the Sihai Group. The creditors from the Wang Sihai period were very understanding and didn't mention the debts because of the large number of orders we gave them."
“Oh dear, that won’t do. After all, I acknowledge the debts from Wang Sihai’s time. Now that things are better for us, we still need to pay back the debts that are due,” Yang Chen hinted.
Zhang Jingsong quickly replied, "Understood! I'll contact the suppliers who performed well and have their bosses contact you."
"Okay. You decide what to do," Yang Chen said.
Although it was very boring, Yang Chen had no choice. Since these creditors never came to collect their debts, he could only exploit the bugs to farm rewards himself.
Soon after, Liu Yaming, the CEO of Jindaolang Group, called Yang Chen.
"Hello, Chairman Yang! It's been so long since I've seen you. I've missed you quite a bit. When do you have time to come to Jiangcheng for a bath and massage?" General Manager Liu said with a smile.
Yang Chen laughed heartily and replied, "Okay, let me know in advance when Mr. Liu is coming so I can make the necessary arrangements."
“It’s my honor that Chairman Yang would agree to take a bath and massage with me. I certainly won’t let Chairman Yang make the arrangements; I’ll arrange it myself. I heard from General Manager Zhang that Chairman Yang is looking to select some suppliers to repay debts incurred during Wang Sihai’s time, so I called Chairman Yang to discuss this, hoping we might be fortunate enough to be chosen. Hehehe…” General Manager Liu said. Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, “I do indeed want to settle some debts. General Manager Liu, do you want some?”
Mr. Liu said with a smile, "Of course! Who wouldn't want to clear up debts that have been dragging on for years? I hope Chairman Yang can take pity on small businesses like ours and clear them up for us this time."
Yang Chen asked, "Okay, I'll ask you a question. If you guess correctly, I'll choose you."
“Okay! No problem! Mr. Yang, please ask.” Mr. Liu said excitedly.
Yang Chen asked with a smile, "Now guess whether I'm willing to clear your debts today. If you guess right, I'll clear your debts."
After thinking about it carefully and patiently for a while, Mr. Liu said, "Chairman Yang must want to help us clear our debts, right?"
"Sorry, you answered incorrectly. I haven't decided whether or not to settle your debts. Since you guessed wrong, I can't settle your debts then," Yang Chen said.
General Manager Liu: "..."
Yang Chen immediately hung up the phone.
Mr. Liu stared at the phone in a daze for a long time, then said, puzzled, "Damn! What's he after? Is he just playing around?"
Picture what?
At this moment, the system has given Yang Chen a new reward—a sound wave converter.
This technology is incredibly powerful. After capturing sound waves, the device compares them with the sound waves of human speech, converts them into human speech sound waves, and finally converts them into human language.
At this moment, Yang Chen was completely dumbfounded. If this technology were to be put into practice, wouldn't that mean that humans could understand the speech of animals, insects, and other species?
Yang Chen immediately began organizing the materials, and planned to assemble a professional team to study and research the product as soon as possible.
Yang Chen was in a great mood after collecting the rewards, and he sent a message to Zhang Jingsong, the president of Sihai Real Estate.
"Mr. Zhang, please settle Jin Daolang's debts."
Zhang Jingsong immediately replied: Received!
Just as CEO Jin Daolang was feeling annoyed that Yang Chen was being so silly as to deliberately mess with him, the finance manager excitedly ran into the office and said, "President Liu, Sihai Real Estate has cleared all our debts, and the money has arrived in our account."
Mr. Liu stood up excitedly and asked loudly, "Really? Is it confirmed that the money has come in?"
The finance manager quickly nodded and replied, "The payment has been confirmed. I've already checked with the business department."
"Haha... I knew Chairman Yang wouldn't be so bored as to deliberately mess with me. He really is helping us clear our debts. Go ahead and get busy, and call Secretary Li in while you're at it," General Manager Liu said happily.
The finance manager nodded and quickly left.
A few seconds later, Secretary Li came in.
"Mr. Liu, you wanted to see me."
"Okay. Make the arrangements immediately. I need to go to Jiangcheng as soon as possible to arrange the bathhouse and catering, and I want to invite Chairman Yang to do some socializing."
"Okay. Which Chairman Yang? Chairman Yang of Sihai Group?"
"Besides him, who else in Jiangcheng would dare to call themselves Chairman Yang?"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Mr. Liu was so excited that he couldn't calm down, so he sent another message to Yang Chen.
"Chairman Yang, thank you so much! You really gave me a heart-stopping experience. I've already had my secretary make arrangements to take you to Jiangcheng as soon as possible for a full-service meal, bath, and massage."
Yang Chen smiled as he read the message and replied to President Liu.
"Okay, I'll wait for Mr. Liu to arrive."
Yang Chen had just put down his phone when Holdan called.
"Mr. Yang, we'd like to purchase color-changing military uniforms from your Sihai Sports. Are you aware that this equipment is for sale?" Holdan asked directly.
Yang Chen said with a smile, "Of course we'll sell the product once it's made. Even if we don't sell it to other countries, we'll sell it to you. We're great partners, right?"
Holdan laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Yang is right, we are good partners. We plan to purchase 400 million sets of clothing, as well as outer garments for tanks, armored vehicles, and other equipment. Our requirements are that they must be suitable for use in desert and sea environments, and there must be no downgrading; they must meet the same standards as the Chinese army. What do you think, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Chen replied, "I'm sure there's no problem on my end, but I don't know if the higher-ups are willing. Here's what I'll do: Prince Holdan, wait for my call. I'll report to the higher-ups now and hear their opinions before making a decision."
Holdan quickly replied, "No problem, I'll wait for Mr. Yang's call."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately called Jiang Wenming.
"Mr. Jiang, the Sand Kingdom wants to purchase military uniforms from me that meet the same standards as our army. Could you please ask your superiors if they can accept such an order?" Yang Chen said.
Jiang Wenming quickly replied, "No problem! Chairman Yang, please wait a moment. I will consult with my superiors immediately and get back to you as soon as I have the results."
Yang Chen hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.
About half an hour later, Jiang Wenming called Yang Chen back.
"Chairman Yang, the leader said there's only one requirement: we need to be able to detect the enemy and their equipment after they've been re-equipped. As long as we can meet this requirement, we can sell to whomever you want," Jiang Wenming said.
Yang Chen said with a smile, "That's simple. We installed the chips and wafers ourselves, so of course we can detect it. The leaders can rest assured about that."
Jiang Wenming laughed heartily and said, "That's good. Chairman Yang, make the decision yourself. I wish you many orders and another record-breaking annual report."
"Haha..." The two burst into laughter.
Yang Chen hung up on Jiang Wenming and called Holdan.
"The leadership said it's okay to sell it to you. However, you can only use it yourself, you can't sell it to anyone else," Yang Chen said.
Holdan asked, "Not even slippers? We're prepared to provide some slippers."
Yang Chen said with a smile, "They took those slippers from you, there was nothing you could do about it, right?"
Holdan laughed heartily and said, "Yes, yes, Chairman Yang is absolutely right. There's nothing we can do about the slippers stealing our goods."
"Haha..." The two burst into laughter.
Holdan then added, "I'll make preparations now and fly over by private jet tonight to meet with you and sign the contract."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I'm waiting for Prince Holdan to come."
A massive order for 400 million units has come in; we'll make at least a billion from them. (End of Chapter)
