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

Chen Xi brought President Ren to Yang Chen's office. To show respect, Yang Chen personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to President Ren.

Mr. Ren quickly accepted the teacup with both hands and said with a smile, "How could I trouble Chairman Yang to pour me tea? You helped us solve such a big problem, it should be me personally pouring tea to toast Chairman Yang."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Ren, you're too kind. You're the guest, how can a guest serve tea to the host? Come, sit down and let's chat."

Mr. Ren sat down, took a sip of water, and then put down his cup to have a serious chat with Yang Chen.

First, President Ren formally thanked Yang Chen for helping them lift the ban, and then talked about entrusting the security work of all Longwei Group's overseas projects to Xingchen Military Industry Group.

"I've thought deeply about why we've encountered so many troubles—it's because we lack security. As a private company, we certainly can't hire the military for protection, and domestically, there's a lack of organizations like Blackwater or Wagner Group to handle this kind of civilian security work. Now it's different. Mr. Yang's Starry Sky Military Industry Group has become the world's most powerful security group. If we entrust the security of our overseas operations to Starry Sky Military Industry Group, we can definitely avoid being scammed by foreigners again. Therefore, we hope Chairman Yang can help us with this. We don't know how much it will cost; we wonder if 1 million Eagle Dollars a year would be enough?"

1 million Eagle Dollars a year seems like a lot, but when spread across global markets, it's actually not that much.

Of course, this amount of money is definitely enough for Star Security to provide protection, since they mainly use unmanned intelligent equipment and have very few human agents, so they can definitely make a profit of 1 million Eagle Coins every year.

Moreover, Yang Chen's main profit market is overseas. He only works with domestic clients as long as there is profit to be made, and he does not deliberately pursue very high profit margins.

"Whatever amount Mr. Ren says, that's what it is. We'll have the staff sit down and discuss the details later," Yang Chen said with a smile.

President Ren immediately said, "Don't look back. I've brought people over. Chairman Yang, let the head of Xingchen Military Industry Group come over to talk. The sooner we finalize things, the sooner we can restart our overseas business with peace of mind."

"Haha...Okay! I'll make a call," Yang Chen said with a laugh.

Yang Chen called Guo Hu, president of Xingchen Military Industry Group, and instructed him: "Ahu, bring some people over to discuss the details of Longwei Group's overseas business security with President Ren's team. President Ren and I have finalized an annual amount of 1 million Eagle Dollars. You can discuss the other issues."

Guo Hu immediately replied, "Okay, I'll take my men there right away."

Yang Chen hung up the phone, stood up and said, "It's rare for President Ren to come here, let me show you around."

Mr. Ren immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Alright! Then I'll trouble you, Chairman Yang. Let's go for a stroll. I'm particularly eager to see what Chairman Yang's company looks like and what its corporate culture is like. I need to learn from you. Longwei still has a lot of room for improvement."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "President Ren is too modest. Long Wei is the pinnacle and a role model for private enterprises. Please, President Ren."

Yang Chen led President Ren on a tour of the building, making the Sihai Building bustling with activity. The simultaneous appearance of the two giants of domestic private enterprises was enough to make them appear on the national news.

This is no exaggeration. Employees of Sihai Group filmed Yang Chen and President Ren going door-to-door and uploaded the video to the internet. Yangshi immediately contacted Sihai Group to request that they film a video that met the requirements of the news broadcast and send it to them. The news briefing segment will be broadcast tonight.

The nation needs to promote role models, and no combination is more persuasive or more powerful than Yang Chen and President Ren.

After the door-to-door visit was completed, Chen Xi arranged a lunch for the staff of both sides.

The luncheon was held in a private banquet room in the staff canteen, not in a fancy hotel, and the food was just staff fare, without any fine wines or delicacies.

That's what happens when you're strong enough; you can promptly arrange meals for your staff to entertain guests, and the guests won't feel slighted. On the contrary, they'll even praise you.

"I thought our Longwei employee meals were already good enough, but I didn't expect Chairman Yang's company's employee meals to be even better. I'll ask the company's logistics department to raise the standards as well, so that the employees can eat even better," President Ren said with a smile.

Yang Chen said, "I remember President Ren saying that talent is the most valuable asset, and I agree with that. There is no single standard for talent, but I believe that as long as someone works diligently in their position, they are considered talent. If someone is talented, I will treat them well."

President Ren immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, "Chairman Yang is absolutely right. I only regret that Longwei is not strong enough to provide employees with all the benefits that Chairman Yang offers. I am getting old, so I can only place my hopes on the next generation of management to lead Longwei to catch up with Sihai Group."

"No, no, Mr. Ren is still young. He can easily work for another 30 years!" Yang Chen said with a smile.

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

After lunch, the two teams continued to discuss the remaining minor issues.

Soon after, the two teams reached an agreement and immediately reported it to their respective bosses.

Yang Chen and President Ren felt there were no problems, so they signed the agreement.

"Mr. Ren, let's go! The football match is about to start, let's go watch it now! Today it's Dongcheng District versus Haicheng Beiwan District. These two teams are particularly interesting because they haven't won a game yet, so today they're bound to get a win," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Mr. Ren said with a smile, "Haha... I came here to watch these two teams. I also want to know which team will break the deadlock today."

Yang Chen invited President Ren to the rooftop helipad, and the two boarded a plane to the Sihai Football Stadium.

The two teams immediately announced their partnership.

"After friendly consultations and with full respect for the opinions of both parties, Sihai Naval Industry Group and Longwei Technology Group have reached a cooperation agreement. Effective immediately, security for all of Longwei Group's overseas projects will be handled by Xingchen Naval Industry Group. The two parties agree that the contract term is 10 years, and if neither party raises any objection upon expiration, the contract term will be automatically extended for 5 years, and so on."

This announcement is exactly what everyone was hoping for; netizens in China have been eagerly anticipating a collaboration between the two giants.

Although it's not a technological collaboration, we can take it one step at a time. Who knows, we might have a technological collaboration in the future.

"Haha... I previously analyzed why Longwei couldn't expand overseas because they lacked the ability to protect themselves. If they could entrust the security tasks to Boss Yang, all the problems would be solved. Sure enough, they really cooperated. It seems I still have a good strategic vision."

"Is this how Longwei repays Boss Yang? I wonder how much the annual fee is. It shouldn't be low. However, considering Longwei's profit margin, as long as security is guaranteed, the small amount they earn from doing business in overseas markets should be enough to cover the security costs."

"Seriously, we're about to take off. We might really be ushering in the best era in five thousand years. Everyone, get ready, the next golden age of China is coming."

Just as netizens were discussing the cooperation between Xingchen Military Industry and Longwei Group, Yang Chen and President Ren arrived at the stadium by helicopter.

As is customary, Yang Chen would fly around the arena every time he came to greet the audience and receive their admiration.

Today was no exception; Yang Chen and President Ren waved to the audience from the left and right sides of the two doors.

At the same time, images of Yang Chen and President Ren were projected onto the large screen at the scene, and the audience immediately cheered.

After circling the stadium once, the helicopter landed on the helipad at the top of the stadium. Yang Chen and President Ren got off the helicopter and went through a private passage to a private room to wait for the kickoff.

Yang Chen and President Ren both arrived, and several other business executives who came to watch the game lined up outside to see the two executives, but they were all blocked by security personnel. No matter how much they pleaded, the security personnel refused to go in and report.

Actually, this is the right thing to do. Going in to report puts the boss in an awkward position. If he refuses, he'll feel bad about losing face. If he doesn't refuse, he doesn't want to deal with these people. So, it's better not to go in to report, so the boss won't be aware of it and won't feel awkward.

The video of Yang Chen and President Ren watching the game together was also uploaded online. The already popular amateur football match suddenly attracted more attention, and even people who don't watch football started to follow the trend.

The football match's popularity was propelled to new heights by Yang Chen and President Ren, attracting even more sponsors with cash in hand to seek sponsorship opportunities.

Previously, sponsors' brands appeared on billboards around the stadium and in online promotional videos for 300 million per round. Now, these sponsors have driven the price up to 800 million per round. And even then, a group of sponsors are willing to pay even higher prices to oust other sponsors and give them the advertising space.

Yang Chen initially planned to take advantage of the World Cup championship hype to organize a grassroots football tournament to promote a healthier and happier lifestyle for everyone. Little did he expect the football tournament to become so popular, with sponsorship fees exceeding those of the Chinese Super League and the LBA.

Although this competition did not belong to Sihai Sports, it was organized by Yang Chen and Sihai Sports was responsible for its preparation. Therefore, the more popular it became, the higher Sihai Sports' stock price rose. At this time, Sihai Sports' stock price was already approaching 1 trillion Eagle Dollars.

While Chinese netizens were focused on the football match, an international news item quietly climbed to the top of the trending topics list.

The Sand Kingdom announced that one of their merchant ships, loaded with equipment such as color-changing military uniforms and drones, was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden, and the identity of the hijackers is currently unknown.

Immediately following, another trending news item emerged: a spokesperson for the Slipper Army announced that they had hijacked a cargo ship from the Sand Kingdom and demanded that the Sand Kingdom pay 100 billion Eagle Dollars to ransom the ship and crew, but the cargo on board would be confiscated.

In addition, they also wanted to share these equipment with the Kingdom of Palestine, demanding that the Kingdom of Sand open its territory to them to deliver goods to the Kingdom of Palestine, otherwise they would kill the crew and destroy the ships.

Upon seeing this news, people all over the world laughed.

But then something even funnier happened.

The Crown Prince of the Sand Kingdom angrily held a press conference, denouncing the Slipper Army for always robbing the Sand Kingdom's cargo ships.

"I don't understand why they always hijack our cargo ships. Do they really think we're easy to bully? I'm going to buy another cargo ship and have Xingchen Military Industry escort it. Let's see if they dare to hijack our ships again."

Subsequently, the spokesperson for the "Slippers Army" also held a press conference.

“We don’t care whose ship passes by our doorstep, we can rob any ship. If the cargo ship from the Sand Kingdom dares to pass by our doorstep again, we will definitely rob it again.”

Netizens from various countries left comments in the comment sections of the related news videos.

Japanese netizens commented: "Can you guys please stop acting? Your acting isn't embarrassing, but we viewers are. It's just that Yang Chen is getting a good deal; he can sell another shipment of goods."

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Fuck! Are you treating us like idiots? Using the same trick once or twice is one thing, but using it every time and expecting us to pretend we don't understand is absolutely outrageous. You're supplying the 'slippery army' with equipment and money, and now they can attack our aircraft carriers again. Fuck!"
A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "The 'White Eagle' netizen's' statement is incorrect. Our cargo ship was hijacked, our cargo confiscated, and we have to pay 100 billion 'Eagle Dollars' to ransom the ship and personnel. We are the victims, okay? Blame it on you! You always claim to be the world police, but what have you done? Even when our aircraft carriers are repeatedly beaten with compromise, you don't dare to intervene. You blame us when our cargo ship is hijacked, but when your aircraft carriers are attacked, you don't retaliate. Does that mean we can assume you're in cahoots with them?"
An English netizen commented: "Sand Country netizens, can you stop acting? It's so annoying. The whole world knows what's going on. Stop being so clever and thinking your schemes are so brilliant. Next, everyone should pay attention to whether Squid Country can withstand the attack after Palestine gets its color-changing uniforms and drones."

The last time Rwanda harvested the golden nut, his color-changing military uniform was already quite striking.

If the Palestinians can defeat the Squid Kingdom's soldiers after wearing these uniforms, the color-changing uniforms will become even more popular, and countries all over the world will purchase their own color-changing uniforms from Sihai Sports.

Three days later, the Palestinians received color-changing uniforms and drones from the Slipper Army.

After a brief period of trial and error, the Kingdom of Palestine launched a large-scale counter-offensive.

To demonstrate the practicality of color-changing military uniforms to the world, the battle was still broadcast live, showing the entire process to people around the world.

on the screen.

A small team from the Squid Kingdom found themselves in an abandoned building. Not only did they not discover anything unusual, but the viewers watching the live stream from the perspective of mosquitoes and other insects also did not notice anything unusual.

But just as the Squid Kingdom squad turned to leave, the "bricks" and other objects not far away suddenly moved, followed by a burst of gunfire and the sound of grenades exploding.

In the footage, viewers can clearly see the soldiers of the Squid Kingdom falling one after another, and a squad of more than ten people disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Viewers flooded the screen with comments expressing their surprise.

"Oh my god! I really didn't notice anyone at first, and even the gun is wearing a color-changing suit?"

"Is this the actual combat effect of color-changing military uniforms? This is amazing. If the enemy wears these clothes, they wouldn't even know they're surrounded."

"What's the working principle behind this clothing? Is it mimicking a chameleon?"

"This was another highly successful live-streaming sales event. After this battle, Yang Chen will be overwhelmed with orders for color-changing military uniforms."

Not only were ordinary netizens watching the live broadcast of this battle, but high-ranking military officials from various countries were also watching.

At this moment, in the high-level conference room of the Bald Eagle military.

The leader, Hania, said with a solemn expression, "This is too amazing. I didn't see any Bale soldiers at first either. The concealment effect is too strong. If our soldiers also wore this kind of uniform, their combat effectiveness would increase by several levels."

"Luckily, we also have these kinds of clothes, otherwise the sky would have fallen. It's just a pity that our production capacity is insufficient; we don't even have enough for ourselves, so we can't support the Squid Country for the time being," said Air Force Chief Wallace.

Hania continued, "How about this? Our soldiers aren't fighting, so it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later. We can send the uniforms to the Squid Kingdom first. With their weapons and combat skills, it would be a piece of cake for them to sneak into the Palestine and launch a surprise attack. What do you think?"

The leaders all nodded in agreement with Hania's suggestion to prioritize equipping the Squid Kingdom with color-changing military uniforms.

Meanwhile, Er Mao's military representative, Virgil, had secretly arrived in Jiangcheng and met with Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, I brought a video of our president. He instructed me to show it to you and delete it immediately afterward,” Virgil said, then showed the video to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen watched the video very carefully, mainly focusing on two aspects.

The Er Mao family wanted to hand over the land and mineral resources acquired by BlackRock to Yang Chen for management, but hoped that in addition to paying rent, Yang Chen would also give them at least 3% of the profits.

The Er Mao family also wanted to buy color-changing military uniforms and hoped that Yang Chen could sell them to them, accepting a land exchange as payment, because they were really broke right now.

Er Mao's first request was that Yang Chen handle the situation with the bald eagle.

The second request was that Er Mao hoped Yang Chen wouldn't be influenced by Da Mao's family and wouldn't sell them the color-changing military uniforms.

Yang Chen said to Virgil, "I only do business and don't take sides with either of you. So, the issue of uniforms is not an issue; I can accept your land exchange. As for the land and mineral agreements you signed with BlackRock, if you want to go back on your word, that's your problem. You can then sell them to me, lease them to me, or develop them together, etc. You've already signed agreements with BlackRock, and I'm not that stupid or unethical to ask you to get them back for me."

Virgil immediately said, "But how dare we break the agreement? If the Bald Eagle gets angry and stops giving us aid, won't we be finished?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "You want both ways? Why should I? I don't owe you anything, so why should I stand up for you? If you want to save yourselves, you need to show some attitude and determination first. You can't expect others to save you with just a few words. That's not the level of a mature politician."

Virgil was speechless after Yang Chen's words and remained silent for a long time.

Yang Chen had almost finished his glass of water, but Virgil still hadn't said a word.

Yang Chen had no time to waste here with him and immediately said, "Mr. Virgil, I don't have that much time to sit here with you. Go now and take my message back. First, show me your determination and attitude, then we can discuss the land and minerals. Someone, see him out!" (End of Chapter)
