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

The whole world is now waiting for the results of the US presidential election, so investments have almost come to a standstill, and capital has been prepared with large sums of money to wait for the election results.

If the Democratic administration is re-elected, then they should invest in new energy industries.

If the Republicans win, then invest in traditional industries such as oil and gasoline-powered vehicles.

The two parties represent different interest groups, so the outcome will depend on the power struggle between the bigwigs behind them.

Previously, Wall Street executives gossiped that Masters had switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party because of issues related to "raising children," and now it has been confirmed that this is true.

After a series of contests, the Republican Party ultimately prevailed, which means that new energy industries will face obstacles in the Bald Eagle market, while traditional industries such as oil will rise again.

Yang Chen was quite disappointed, because this meant that his new energy vehicle would encounter various troubles at the Bald Eagle's house again.

In capitalist countries like the United States, it is common for the next government to not endorse the policies of the previous government. For example, many of the groups that Obama joined during his presidency have now been withdrawn from.

Similarly, the Democratic authorities may agree to Yang Chen's agreement, but they may not necessarily accept it when the Republicans come to power.

This is the huge flaw of foreign systems: each government represents the interests of its backers, and they never consider national interests first, let alone have long-term plans.

In contrast, the Dragon Kingdom's system is far superior. They will definitely stick to 5-year, 10-year, and even 30-year plans, and they will always fulfill their promises.

There's no point in saying all this. Let's just wait and see what new policies the Republicans come up with after they officially take office, and then we can deal with that.

Yang Chen received good news from the Sihai Electronics R&D team as soon as he arrived at work early in the morning.

Based on the technology provided by Yang Chen, the plasma team has been researching more advanced technologies. Recently, they developed an underwater "plasma supercavitation" technology.

While trying to figure out how to make the plasma shield reach the target of physical attacks faster, the team tried laser technology. They unexpectedly discovered that laying fiber optic coatings on the surface of an object to emit lasers not only generated huge thrust but also instantly evaporated nearby water at high temperatures, forming bubbles that covered the surface of the object. At the same time, the surface of the object was covered by a plasma layer.

The team conducted an experiment using a biomimetic shark, which exceeded the speed of sound.

The team now has a bold idea: they want to test this technology on submarines to see if it can be applied to submarines.

If a submarine can travel at supersonic speeds, any normal person can imagine what that means.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen burst into laughter and immediately called Jiang Wenming, the military representative.

"Mr. Jiang, I need an active submarine for my experiments. Could you help me get one as soon as possible? If it breaks, I'll pay for the country to build a new one. If it doesn't break and my experiments are successful, our submarine can travel from Haicheng to Luoshanji, the home of the White-headed Eagle, in two hours. You know what I mean, right?" Yang Chen said happily.

Jiang Wenming was immediately shocked, and his voice cracked.

"How long? Two hours? From Haicheng to Luoshanji?" Jiang Wenming asked.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and asked, "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Jiang Wenming laughed heartily and said, "It's more than just a surprise and an unexpected surprise; it's an absolute delight and an unbelievable surprise! It only takes two hours to get from Haicheng to Luoshanji. Why don't we take off now? How confident are we? If we are, I'll apply for a Type 096 nuclear submarine for you to test it."

Yang Chen replied, "Our team has already conducted experiments on biomimetic sharks, and these sharks can swim faster than the speed of sound in the ocean. If you ask how confident we are, given my personality, I would definitely say 100% success. However, we don't necessarily need the 096 or 094; they will suffice. This technology uses laser propulsion, so whether it's a nuclear submarine or not is irrelevant."

Jiang Wenming immediately replied, "No problem! 094 is absolutely no problem! Wait here, I'll report to the leadership right now and let you know as soon as there's any news!"

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

Yang Chen also found the supersonic submarine very novel, so he immediately called the plasma team to conduct an experiment at sea to show him the results.

The plasma team immediately made all the necessary preparations, and the two sides then met at sea.

Yang Chen used a yacht to take everyone out to sea. After all the preparations were completed, the team released the modified bionic shark.

Using a tracking and positioning device carried on the bionic shark, Yang Chen can see its movement in the seawater on a monitor.

The laser propulsion device was activated, and an air cannon and plasma layer immediately formed around the bionic shark, directly separating the bionic shark from the seawater. Without the strong water pressure and resistance of the seawater, the bionic shark relied on the powerful thrust generated by the laser propulsion to directly reach supersonic speed.

In other words, this technology has already been successfully applied to biomimetic sharks, but biomimetic sharks are, after all, just biomimetic sharks, and their applications are always limited. Therefore, the team wants to test its use on submarines to see if they can achieve the same results.

If it's truly possible to make submarines supersonic, then the four naval industrial groups could join forces with the plasma team, the Sihai Intelligent team, and the official military industrial groups to jointly manufacture unmanned submarines.

The development of unmanned submarines will greatly enhance the overall combat capabilities of submarines and significantly reduce production, operation, and maintenance costs. If necessary, they can even choose to perish together with enemy targets, since there are no people on board, thus adding a suicide function in the event of a last resort.

Two hours from Haicheng to Luoshanji, the Bald Eagle family will cherish peace even more.

Yang Chen praised happily, "Great, great, everyone, thank you for your hard work. I'm very satisfied with this technique."

The chief engineer immediately said, "We expanded upon the plasma technology provided by Chairman Yang, so the greatest credit should go to Chairman Yang."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "No, no, no, it's like a teacher teaching a student to read and write. Later, the student becomes a great writer, and the credit belongs to the student himself. The teacher wouldn't dare claim any credit. If this could really be used on submarines, everyone's year-end bonus would double."

People come out to work to make money; other lofty ideals can only be considered after they have enough to eat.

So when they heard that their year-end bonuses would be doubled, these technicians laughed with joy.

Having double the year-end bonus means they can easily buy a house in Jiangcheng with it. How could they not be happy?

The experiment had just finished when Jiang Wenming called.

"Chairman Yang, haha... the leadership has replied and agreed to sponsor you with a Type 094 submarine. Where would you like this submarine to dock?" Jiang Wenming asked happily.

Yang Chen replied, "Once it's delivered to Jiangcheng Port, I'll immediately contact Mayor Huang to request that the port allocate an area for us to use. I'll send you a number later; have the submarine crew contact that number to discuss the specifics. Also, please make it clear to your superiors and the submarine crew that since this is an experiment, there's a possibility of failure. I've said that if it's damaged, I'll compensate the military with one, but I won't allow anyone to interfere with my team's experiments."

Jiang Wenming immediately said, "Chairman Yang, don't worry. I've already explained it to the leadership. They said that as long as your technology is genuine, it's worth it even if the submarine is destroyed during the experiment. Scientific progress doesn't happen overnight. If you can't even bear this kind of loss, then you don't deserve such arrogant technology. After the submarine is handed over to you, all the officers and soldiers will be on leave, and no one will interfere with you. But you must also ensure that you don't touch anything inside the submarine at will, and you must not leak the submarine's parameters or other classified information."

"Okay. I'll explain everything clearly. It's settled then, I'll send you the number," Yang Chen replied.

Yang Chen hung up the phone and immediately sent the chief engineer's number to Jiang Wenming, who then forwarded the number to the submarine commander. From there, they would communicate directly.

Meanwhile, Trump, who won the election, delivered a televised address.

In addition to announcing his conservative policies, he also announced the immediate suspension of support for the Second Mao and urged the Second Mao to repay the debt as soon as possible. If the Second Mao had no money, he would continue to use land and mineral resources to offset the debt. If the Second Mao did not obey, he would not rule out cooperating with the First Mao to jointly attack the Second Mao.

In addition, he announced that he would end the fight between Da Mao and Er Mao within 24 hours of officially taking office, while implying that Da Mao's family could contact him to negotiate terms.

Anyone familiar with the international situation knows that Russia has always looked westward. They want to integrate into Europe and befriend the United States, but unfortunately, the United States doesn't respect them.

So, the new leader of the Bald Eagle has given a signal, and Russia can't wait to contact him to discuss terms.

Seeing that Yang Chen had correctly guessed the new policy of the White Eagle family, the Er Mao family no longer hesitated. They immediately announced the termination of their contract with BlackRock and sought a better way to repay their debts.

This news caused a sensation in international news; where did Er Mao get the audacity to do such a thing?

Sure enough, the new government of the United States immediately changed its tune. They stopped mentioning ending the fight between Russia and Russia, while insisting on maintaining their policy of no longer supporting Russia with weapons.

Anyone with eyes can see that they want to teach Er Mao a lesson. Once Er Mao can't take it anymore, he will obediently go back and admit his mistake. At that time, they will have to give up more benefits in order to gain the support of the bald eagle.

The Er Mao family then announced that they would lease 50 local mineral resources, including gold mines, rare earth and other important strategic minerals, as well as 1000 million mu of farmland for 50 years, with a starting price of 2000 billion Eagle Dollars. They would accept bids from companies and individuals worldwide, and the highest bidder would win.

They also emphasized that in addition to the one-time payment, they should receive at least 3% of the profits every year, and at least half of the employees should be from the Er Mao family, with salaries no lower than the EU average.

When the Bald Eagles saw that Er Mao was serious, they were furious and started cursing. They cursed not only the relevant department heads but also the new leader. However, Er Mao's new strategy was clearly much more profitable than selling to BlackRock. In addition to receiving a large sum of money upfront, it would also generate a substantial annual income.

The Mao family's attitude is correct; at least they should take responsibility themselves first and not let their financial backer bear the condemnation of international law and morality.

International financial groups immediately dispatched professional teams to Er Mao's home to conduct on-site investigations of the 50 mineral deposits and 1000 million mu of fertile land.

Sihai Agricultural High-Tech also sent a team to conduct on-site investigations, and they quickly calculated the value of the 50 mineral deposits and 1000 million mu of land.

The direct economic value of the 50 mines is about 750 billion US dollars. However, the role of rare earths in high-end manufacturing and military enterprises cannot be measured in monetary terms. If you have rare earths, you can manufacture them; if you don't have rare earths, you can't manufacture them. It's that straightforward.

Therefore, considering this aspect, valuing these 50 mines at 1000 billion Eagle Dollars is not high.

Most of those 1000 million mu of land is fertile black soil, accounting for about 80%. The remaining 20% ​​is slightly barren, but it is still barren compared to the fertile black soil. Compared to most land in China, it is incredibly fertile.

如果按照每亩地每年盈利200鹰币计算，1000万亩土地每年盈利就是20亿鹰币，50年就是1000亿鹰币。

Therefore, the starting price of 1000 billion Eagle Dollars set by the Er Mao family for these 50 mines and 2000 million mu of land is very precise. However, the fact that they also want to take 3% of the profits makes it seem like a premium.

However, Yang Chen was very happy because, according to the current level of agricultural technology, the profit per mu (unit of land area) per year is 200 Eagle Coins. But once his super seeds are on the market, the yield will double, and the profit per mu per year will exceed 400 Eagle Coins. The total profit per year will be 40 billion Eagle Coins, and the total profit over 50 years will be 2000 billion Eagle Coins. Even if 30% is given to Er Mao's family, Yang Chen's side can still make a profit of 1400 billion Eagle Coins.

This calculation represents the value of planting wheat and rice. If an additional portion of the land is used to cultivate higher-value vegetables and fruits, the profit per acre will more than double.

Therefore, as long as the final price does not exceed 3000 billion Eagle Coins, you can make money.

If all else fails, we can dig up the black soil from Er Mao's family's land, transport it back to China, and use it to improve the soil in China. That would create new value for us.

What? They won't allow it?
Ha ha……

Is that something they can decide?

After all the consortiums from various countries completed their inspections, the Er Mao family gave a definite auction time: 10:11 AM on November 30th at the Capital Auction Center.

Considering his own safety, Yang Chen did not go to Er Mao's house to participate in the auction. Instead, he sent Guo Haizhou, president of Sihai Agricultural High-tech Group, to lead a team to the auction. Yang Chen monitored the situation on site through Mosquito Live.

The auction started promptly at 10:11 AM on November 30th.

BlackRock, whose contract had just been broken off, was led by Pacquiao himself to participate in the auction. They were the first to bid 2800 billion Eagle Dollars, showing a strong determination to win.

2800 billion Eagle Dollars is close to Yang Chen's cost line, and for other consortia, it is directly beyond their cost range. Many consortia did not even have a chance to bid before automatically admitting defeat.

The other bidders began to discuss the matter.

"Fuck! Is this some kind of auction? Who bids like this?"

"It seems they're determined to win; they've shown this kind of momentum from the very beginning!"

"Fuck! What a wasted trip, I didn't even get a chance to make a bid!"

Just then, Yang Chen received a call from the agricultural department.

“Mr. Yang, the government will subsidize you 300 yuan per mu of land. You must do your best to acquire the land and mineral resources from the Er Mao family.”

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Okay! I'll definitely do my best!"

At this moment, Guo Haizhou, representing Sihai Agricultural High-Tech Group, made an offer. Since Chairman Yang said that 3000 billion Eagle Coins would be enough, then he would directly offer 3000 billion Eagle Coins to let other competitors see Sihai Agricultural High-Tech's determination.

"Mr. Yang Chen's Sihai Agricultural High-Tech Group has offered 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"Wow……"

A gasp rippled through the crowd.

"BlackRock is insane, but Yang Chen is even more insane!"

"The purpose of specifically emphasizing Yang Chen's company is quite obvious: it's to prevent others from competing with them."

"Well! All the other teams are just there to make up the numbers. This auction is all about BlackRock and Yang Chen!"

"I even suspect that Er Mao contacted Yang Chen beforehand before so boldly breaking the agreement with BlackRock, giving Yang Chen a legitimate opportunity to acquire these lands and minerals."

"Fuck! Now that you mention it, it actually seems quite possible! We can only watch and see how much money these two big shots and the countries behind them are willing to pay."

Pacquiao received a phone call and immediately offered 3300 billion Eagle Dollars.

"Wow!"

"We've already lost money!"

"That's right! It's absolutely impossible to make money this way!"

"It has now gone beyond the scope of economic value and we have begun to consider its strategic and political value."

Guo Haizhou received Yang Chen's order and immediately offered 3500 billion Eagle Dollars.

"Wow!"

"Those two lunatics! They always raise the price by so much. Don't they think billions of Eagle Dollars are anything?"

"As we've said, what matters now is strategic and political value; it all depends on how high the valuations both sides offer."

At this point, the head of the agricultural department of Er Mao's family, who was in charge of the auction, said: "It needs to be noted that regardless of which party wins the bid, the money must be transferred first before we will sign a contract. If the winning bidder does not transfer the money immediately, or wants to pay in installments or postpone the transaction, we will not accept it, and will automatically lease the land and mineral resources to the second-highest bidder. Therefore, please be cautious and do not have any wishful thinking."

This was a reminder to Pacquiao not to try and win the bid at a high price first. As for how to pay later, or even whether to pay at all, that was up to them. The important thing was to prevent Yang Chen from winning the bid.

However, the person in charge of Er Mao's family said this, which directly eliminated the possibility of them doing so. Now they have to carefully consider every penny they spend.

“3501 billion Eagle Dollars!” Pacquiao said.

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

He just raised the price to 2800 billion Eagle Dollars, but after being reminded by the head of Er Mao's family, he immediately backed down. Everyone knows what that means.

"Haha...why don't you just add a few hundred billion Eagle Dollars?"

"After you did that, I suspect you never intended to pay in the first place."

"Ha ha……"

"Absolutely! He never intended to pay in the first place. He planned to take the photos first and then use his old tricks to coerce and entice you later. Unfortunately, the Er Mao family has learned their lesson this time and gave you a heads-up beforehand, so you could give up on that idea sooner."

"You guys are just like that, you never think about doing things properly. Even though I made a wasted trip, I still support Mr. Yang Chen's successful bid and can't stand your behavior."

"Me too! I can't stand it either! I don't dare to criticize you, nor do I dare to oppose you, but Mr. Yang Chen dares, so let him speak for us and say no to bullying!" (End of Chapter)
