Overseas business contributed 5089.45 billion Eagle Dollars in revenue and 3686.45 billion Eagle Dollars in net profit..."

The newly established companies, including Sihai Sports, Sihai Agricultural High-Tech, medical devices, and high-end machine tools, have all achieved excellent results.

……

After aggregation and accounting, the total revenue of the Four Seas Group and the Starry Sky Group was 3.56 trillion Eagle Dollars, a year-on-year increase of 22.8%, and the net profit was 2.32 trillion Eagle Dollars, a year-on-year increase of 45%, of which about 2.05 trillion Eagle Dollars were earned from overseas.

but!

Last year, Yang Chen spent 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars on land acquisitions in Africa and the U.S. military base. Most of this money came from Yang Chen's personal funds, while a significant portion came from investments by companies such as Sihai Investment and bank loans.

If this portion is excluded, the actual net profit last year was approximately 5000 billion Eagle Dollars.

However, the purchased minerals and land are included in the total assets, only reducing this part of the investment in terms of cash flow.

The largest increase was seen in Xingchen Military Industry Group, which was established just a year and a half ago. Its performance and net profit both surged. This was mainly due to the compensation Xingchen Military Industry Group received, the mineral resources and land it controlled, a large number of overseas security businesses, and the sale of unmanned combat units to countries such as the Sand Country.

The most profitable company was Sihai Pharmaceutical Group, thanks to California Governor Nelson, who turned the brain-eating amoeba virus antibody business into a long-term business in order to make money. Thanks to his efforts, more than 3 million people in the United States have been infected with the brain-eating amoeba virus. Based on the average cost of 2400 Eagle Dollars for three antibody injections per person, the revenue of this business exceeded 7200 billion Eagle Dollars.

As expected, Sihai Intelligent's performance declined somewhat. Although not by much, this confirmed Yang Chen's earlier prediction that as the demand for projects such as drones could not surge as before, the company's performance decline was inevitable.

However, this is not a big deal. Yang Chen's goal is to keep it at its current scale and economic level, and he doesn't expect it to rampage like it did in the first year.

Sihai Real Estate made a lot of money last year thanks to soaring housing prices in cities like Wuhan, and used its profits to repay approximately 3000 billion yuan of debt.

Overall, both the Sihai Group and the Xingchen Group performed well last year, and Yang Chen was very satisfied with this performance.

With a flourish of his pen, Yang Chen signed the new policy order, which stipulated that all company presidents would receive a base bonus of 100 million yuan, and companies with improved performance would receive an additional bonus of 1 million yuan for each percentage point of growth.

Yang Chen naturally wouldn't just reward the president; the employees would also receive generous rewards.

All companies must allocate 10% of their net profit to employee year-end bonuses. Each employee must receive a minimum year-end bonus equal to their total salary from the previous year. If 10% of net profit is insufficient, the percentage will be increased. It is imperative to ensure that employees receive year-end bonuses no less than their total salary from the previous year. This expenditure is estimated at 4500 billion Dragon Coins.

but.

Compared to the net profit of over 2 trillion Eagle Dollars, this expenditure is nothing.

Subsequently, all stocks of companies related to the Sihai Group and Xingchen Group hit their daily limit, including Sihai Sports, whose market value approached 5 trillion yuan. Even the least noticeable Sihai Entertainment's stock price hit its daily limit, and its market value successfully broke through the 100 billion yuan mark.

It's nothing short of a miracle that a purely entertainment company can have a market value exceeding 100 billion, but considering that the company belongs to Yang Chen, it's not surprising.

Even the stock price of Stephen Chow's Star Overseas Ltd., which has collaborated with Yang Chen many times, surged by more than 10%, which can be described as "when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs rise to heaven".

Subsequently, the Jiangcheng Municipal Government released the GDP data for the previous year.

"According to careful calculations, Jiangcheng's GDP totaled 31.35 trillion yuan in the previous year, a year-on-year increase of 47.67%, of which approximately 97.5% was related to the Sihai and Xingchen groups. With the continuous development of companies such as Sihai Sports, Sihai Medical Equipment, Xingchen Machine Tools, Sihai Electronics, and Xingchen Automobile, our city's manufacturing industry will usher in a period of rapid development. We welcome more companies to invest and build factories in Jiangcheng, and we will provide comprehensive support. We have all the infrastructure you need here, and costs in all aspects will be at least 20% lower than in other cities. Saving money is earning money, so don't hesitate, come and talk to us now."

People across the country, and even around the world, are waiting for Yang Chen's company performance and Jiangcheng's GDP data.

When this data was released, the Chinese internet exploded.

"Holy crap, net profit has surpassed 2 trillion Hong Kong dollars! That's three times the GDP of Anhui province in a year! That's incredible!"

"Is the data for the brain-eating amoeba virus antibody business fabricated? How could there be such high performance and profits? Even if everyone in the United States were infected 10 times, they wouldn't earn this much money!"

"Sihai Sports, with a net profit of 840 billion Dragon Coins, is already aiming for a market value of 5 trillion Dragon Coins. If companies like Sihai Medical go public, their market value will surely aim for 5 trillion Eagle Coins!"

"Jiangcheng's GDP has increased by nearly 50% in one year, making it undoubtedly the fifth municipality directly under the central government. There is no doubt about it. Now we are just waiting for the official announcement."

"If only I had gritted my teeth and bought a house in Jiangcheng three years ago, I could be a resident of a municipality now and enjoy all the benefits and security. Now the house prices in Jiangcheng are even higher than those in Haicheng, and I can't even afford the down payment. Sigh... One wrong step, and you'll regret it for life."

Immediately afterwards, the relevant departments of China officially announced the news of the fifth municipality directly under the central government.

"After careful consideration, taking into full account the development of various cities and the future development trend of the country, we have decided to upgrade Jiangcheng City to a municipality directly under the central government, effective immediately."

As soon as this news came out, all listed companies in Jiangcheng City hit their daily limit, and even the listed companies in the former elder brother city, Haicheng, and younger brother city, Hecheng, also rushed to hit their daily limit.

Led by the Xingchen Group, Sihai Group, and Jiangcheng sector, the market successfully broke through 3600 points, freeing millions of stock investors who were trapped after the market opened at the daily limit and then fell back.

At this time, the stock comment sections of various companies were very lively.

"Thanks, Boss Yang, I'm finally out of trouble. I'm never playing A-shares again, it's too miserable."

"I never thought I'd get to benefit from Boss Yang's success. I've been stuck with this for so long, but I'm finally out of the woods. Luckily, I didn't have to sell at a loss."

"Oh dear, if I had known this day would come, I would never have cut my losses. I lost over 100,000 yuan, damn it."

"Boss Yang is like my second father. I've been stuck with 30 yuan for so long, and I haven't had a single happy day. Today, I can finally celebrate happily. I'm not going to say anything more. From now on, I will only buy stocks related to Boss Yang, and I won't buy any other stocks."

……

Huang Zhenhua immediately called Yang Chen.

"Haha... Chairman Yang, we've succeeded! Haha... Chairman Yang deserves the most credit, we must thank him properly. Tonight we're holding a celebration banquet, Chairman Yang must come and have a few drinks."

"Haha... Congratulations, congratulations, you've all been promoted a level!" "Haha... It's mainly because Chairman Yang is good at running a business, otherwise we wouldn't have had the chance to be promoted. Chairman Yang must come to the Jiangcheng State Guesthouse at 7 pm tonight."

"No problem! See you tonight."

Immediately afterwards, Li Daoming, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, also called Yang Chen.

"Chairman Yang, haha... Congratulations, congratulations! This year's performance is truly dazzling, it's blinding!"

"Just do your best, just do your best. Did Director Li need something from me?"

"Yes, there's something. My boss asked me to talk to Chairman Yang and ask him to speak at the Entrepreneurs' Congress after the New Year, to summarize the past year and look forward to the future. Also, in March there will be the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award, the Best Entrepreneur Award, and the Best Youth Award, all of which will be given to you. Anyway, you need to reserve some time for us in March, to appear on camera more often, so we can promote the power of role models. Is that okay?"

"Actually, I don't need these. I might as well give them to others and encourage them to work harder."

"No, no, no, the publicity effect for others is naturally not as good as that for Chairman Yang. To put it another way, if Chairman Yang achieves such outstanding results and we don't make any announcements, what will the public think of us? Others have their awards, which won't conflict with Chairman Yang's. You can accept the award with peace of mind and cooperate with our work. Is that alright?"

"Since you've put it that way, how can I say no?"

"Haha... Thank you for your cooperation, Chairman Yang. That's settled then. I won't bother you any longer. See you in March. Haha..."

To be honest, Yang Chen doesn't really need these awards to prove himself, but the country needs to set an example, so it should reward him properly, even if he doesn't want them.

Soon, the annual reports of the Sihai Group and the Xingchen Group, as well as the GDP of Jiangcheng City, were transmitted to the Internet. Foreigners who had been waiting for this data were in an uproar, especially Wall Street, as well as investment institutions, national economic and financial think tanks, and even government departments of various countries. They quickly held meetings to study the data.

Netizens from various countries also left comments in the comment sections of related news articles expressing their shock.

Japanese netizens: What?! Net profit exceeded 2 trillion US dollars? Over 7000 billion US dollars were sold just for the brain-eating amoeba virus antibody? Is there a mole within the US? They could buy enough antibodies to supply the entire world. Commissioner Smith must have taken a lot of money, and they didn't even investigate.

A South Korean netizen commented: "I also think it's outrageous. His brain-eating amoeba virus and cancer treatment businesses alone contribute a third of his revenue—that's incredibly lucrative. And with all the land he's acquired in Africa and Russia, next year's revenue will be even more explosive. Finance, industry, healthcare, military, food—his business is covering every aspect of life. The Rothschilds are nothing compared to him; they're completely unworthy of comparison. Is there really no one to restrain him? Is the bald eagle just letting him develop like this?"
A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Idiot! We've used all our electromagnetic pulse weapons and hypersonic missiles, and we still can't defeat him. Are we supposed to use nuclear weapons? Even if we use nuclear weapons, there's no guarantee we can defeat him. He's tested intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads. What can we do? If you ask me, since we can't restrain him, we might as well cooperate with him and harvest you weaklings."

A German netizen commented: "Don't talk nonsense, you bald eagle netizens. It's quite scary. If you cooperate with him, how will we survive? You can't play like that, or we'll unite with other countries to target you."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: Haha... I've always emphasized that they should learn from us as soon as possible. We don't understand the technology, but we respect it, and that's enough. We're already negotiating with them to import amphibious vehicles and armored vehicles. Jiangcheng has entered the cyber age, and next will be Leyard. It's a pity we lack water here. If only we could dig a canal, we could import amphibious vehicles.

At this moment, at the Bald Eagle high-level meeting.

"What a generous gift! He's earned the GDP of several of our cities by himself! I just want to know when the brain-eating amoeba virus will finally disappear. It's contributed over 7200 billion Eagle Dollars to his revenue, and that's all our money!"

“Talk to Nelson immediately. He must be behind this. Fuck, this is outrageous! Are they treating us like foreigners? Our population is only 3 million. How did he manage to send Yang Chen so many sales figures?”

"Compared to last year, Xingchen Military Industry, Xingchen Agricultural High-Tech, Xingchen Automobile, Sihai Medical, Sihai Sports, and many other companies have seen significant growth this year. It can be said that they are all thriving. We can no longer stop them. Perhaps we really need to adjust our strategy towards Yang Chen and Long Guo. Since it is impossible to stop them, we might as well try to cooperate with them in multiple fields."

"Since we've accepted Yang Chen's plan to divide the world into three, isn't it because we're going to cooperate with them? The only variable now is whether Da Mao is willing to cooperate."

"Russia? Heh... Do they even have a choice? Giving them geopolitical advantages is already a favor. Without those nuclear weapons, they wouldn't even have a chance to be on the table. What more do they want? In terms of overall strength, only we and China are qualified to be on the table in this world; everyone else is just food. Giving them geopolitical advantages is already giving them enough face. If they don't want face, we can refuse to give it to them. The initiative is in our hands."

"After seeing the performance of Yang Chen's companies, I feel even more strongly that manufacturing is extremely important. We must immediately play the tariff card to force manufacturing to return. This is related to the future of the country. A nation built on finance is never as reliable as a nation built on industry."

Meanwhile, at the EU summit.

The Italian representative roared hysterically, "Look what you've done! You've made him richer than a country! I told you long ago not to do what he wants, but you wouldn't listen. A large portion of the money he earns comes from Europe."

The German representative scoffed, "You're so farsighted. Back when he was dealing with you, you should have taken off your shoes and sent artifacts to beg for mercy. What's the use of saying this nonsense now?"

The French representative immediately said, "German representative, you shouldn't always speak to your allies in this tone. Although Italy often performs poorly, what he just said is absolutely correct. If this continues, he will earn more and more. The world's resources are finite, and the more he earns, the more benefits we established developed countries will have to give up. Since he's already wary of us, I think we should just openly break with him. We should side with the bald eagle and work together to contain him."

The Italian representative immediately said, "I agree! Since there's already a rift, why pretend anymore? To be fair, let's vote by raising hands. Raise your hand if you agree to break with Yang Chen!"

The Italian representative immediately raised his hand, followed by the French representative who had just suffered a great loss. Representatives from other countries also raised their hands, leaving only the German representative hesitant.

Germany aspires to be the leader of Europe, but constrained by the armistice agreement and other practical reasons, it must maintain good relations with China to have any chance of rising to prominence. They know that the United States will never allow them to become great again, and Germany's powerful industrial system also needs China's market to absorb it and convert it into economic benefits. Therefore, they are unwilling to break with Yang Chen.

However, they alone could not change the situation, and in the end, the EU successfully passed the resolution to break with Yang Chen.

President Tusk said, "Now that this resolution has been passed, let's discuss the specific policies."

The Italian representative immediately said, "There's no need for discussion; just ban his business."

The French representative objected, "Are you crazy? You want to die, but I don't. We need to find a respectable reason to take action against him. We absolutely cannot just ban or confiscate his goods without a valid reason. He really dares to mess with us!"

Tusk said, "The French representative is right. We need to find a clever pretext to leave him speechless, so he has no reason to retaliate against us. Think about what excuse we can use to block his business?"

The German representative stated, "I still oppose banning his business, but we can restrict it. For example, we can impose a 50% tariff on industrial goods from non-EU countries, forcing him to shift his production to the EU. While he will still make a lot of money this way, we will also profit significantly. Furthermore, as long as he moves more of his business to the EU, we can restrict his foreign exchange transactions. If he has 1 trillion euros in foreign exchange reserves, we can only process 100 billion euros for him annually, leaving the rest in our banks. This method is reasonable and legal; he will find no excuse to oppose or retaliate against us. Isn't this better than directly banning his business and forcing him to retaliate?"

Representatives from various countries nodded in agreement, agreeing that this approach was indeed better than a direct ban.

Tusk said, "I think this method is feasible. Let's vote on it."

Ultimately, the proposal was passed unanimously.

Tusk shouted, "Good! That's settled then. We'll announce the details before the Chinese New Year arrives, and he can forget about having a good holiday."

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

At this moment, in the Star Army's operational command center in Jiangcheng, Yang Chen smiled as he watched the EU representatives laughing wildly.

“Chairman Yang, these white bastards are too damn shameless. They always do these dishonest things. Why don’t we take this opportunity to teach them a lesson and give them a profound education so that they will never dare to have such thoughts again?” Guo Hu said.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "We don't need to lift a finger; Eagle will handle them for us. Europe has already been served up; have you ever seen food on the table struggle?"

Guo Hu asked doubtfully, "Will Yingzi help us? Are they really that good?"

"Haha... Eagle's interests are now aligned with ours, so he has to be that good! Just wait and see, they're about to put on a show," Yang Chen laughed loudly. (End of Chapter)
