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

(The previous chapter has been heavily revised due to violations. Those who have already read it, please read the new content again. Thank you.)
It is no exaggeration to say that cooperating with Yang Chen is something that all capital in the world dreams of.

Even though they received small shares, those superstar companies still happily accepted the invitation.

Because they all knew one thing: once this company went public, its market value would exceed 2 trillion Eagle Dollars based on the reputation of these companies alone. With a little more effort from Yang Chen, it wouldn't be difficult for the market value to exceed 3 trillion Eagle Dollars.

Even if each company holds only 1% of the shares, a market capitalization of 3 trillion would still be worth 300 billion Eagle Dollars.

And how much money did they invest?
With a registered capital of 1000 billion Eagle Coins, they only need to invest 10 million Eagle Coins.

With such a high rate of return on investment, even God would obediently sign the cooperation agreement, let alone these profit-driven capitalists.

All shareholders contributed capital according to their shareholding ratios to establish the Airbus Group. Meanwhile, 5 amphibious and land-air vehicles that had been shipped to Luoshanji before the Lunar New Year have arrived at the port and are queuing up to be unloaded.

Luo Shanji's side is Nelson's territory, he will handle everything, Yang Chen doesn't need to worry about anything, he just needs to wait for the payment to be received when the payment period arrives.

Soon, the first batch of customers who had pre-ordered the vehicles from Bald Eagle received calls to pick them up. They couldn't wait to drive the cars into the water or briefly experience the feeling of flying on designated low-altitude routes.

The low-altitude air routes in Luoshanji have not yet been fully planned, and users will need to wait another 7-10 days before they can use them normally.

However, this did not stop car owners from sharing their driving experiences. The first batch of car owners who had experienced the car shared their feelings on social media platforms. In particular, some online influencers made videos to show their fans the process and feelings of using the "Aquarius" and "Scorpio" in order to attract traffic and attention.

A social media influencer named Javier Dudley, who has over 500 million followers on platforms like TikTok and Facebook, posted a video introducing the Aquarius and Scorpio constellations he had just purchased.

"Brothers, buy it! Buy it with your eyes closed! You'd have to sell a kidney to buy it! These two cars are just too much fun! Let me put it this way, once you drive one, you wouldn't trade it for a Porsche. These two cars blow away all the good cars in terms of both hardware and software. The body is incredibly sturdy, giving you a sense of security just by touching it. The super-fast acceleration of the electric car creates a feeling of being pushed back in your seat, I guarantee every man will love that feeling. With the Aquarius, we can take it fishing at sea, use it as a yacht, you know? What? Seawater corrodes the body? Completely unnecessary! They used the same coating as submarines, you could live in seawater for a year or two and it wouldn't corrode. This Scorpio is even cooler, especially when it transforms, I feel like the Autobots have become real. Come on, let me give you a first-person experience."

The overwhelmingly positive reviews from the Luoshanji market quickly ignited enthusiasm in overseas markets. Netizens from all over the world, as well as other countries, left messages online requesting Xingchen Motors to immediately launch the Aquarius and Scorpio models in their countries and cities.

On the other hand, the Airbus Group, established by Yang Chen and French Capital, has also been successfully formed. Yang Chen still holds 67% of the shares, maintaining absolute control, while the remaining shares are equally divided among Airbus Group, Bari Bank, Citroën, Michelin and other companies.

The shareholder list also reveals the strength of this newly established company, enough to ensure that it will not encounter any obstacles in France.

Meanwhile, cargo ships bound for France have arrived at the port and are waiting to unload their cargo.

The first batch of 5 Aquarius and Scorpio vehicles was also shipped, and Barry's customers received their cars quickly.

Bally's users also gave it 100% positive reviews. Mbappe, who had already been impressed by Yang Chen and the Sihai team's skills, even became a free recommender for Aquarius and Scorpio, and hired a professional filming team to shoot a 10-minute video introducing Aquarius and Scorpio.

"The Aquarius and Scorpio from Xingchen Automotive are absolutely the best cars I've ever driven. No other brand can compare to them. If the brand allows, I'm willing to be their spokesperson for free, using my reputation for the rest of my life to prove just how powerful these cars are. Now, I'll take you on a first-person tour of the Aquarius and Scorpio's power."

With Mbappe's strong recommendation, Aquarius and Scorpio became incredibly popular throughout Europe, with enthusiastic consumers flocking to Star Auto Experience Stores to book test drives, and many placing orders on the spot with zero down payment.

Xingchen Automotive's production line is operating at full capacity, with at least five cargo ships departing daily for Europe and the United States.

March is the time when major car brands offer discounts and promotions or launch new products, and Xingchen Automotive has also announced the sales figures for Aquarius and Scorpio.

“截止3月8日24点，星辰汽车水瓶座总销量突破535万辆，其中国内市场总销量75万辆，海外市场总销量460万辆。”

“截止3月8日24点，星辰汽车天蝎座总销量突破200万辆。国内市场总销量25万辆，其中私家车用途车辆总数为15万辆，江飞空客集团运营车辆5万辆。海外市场总销量175万辆，其中私家车用途车辆总数为160万辆，运营公司购买运营车辆总数15万辆。”

"Currently, overseas demand for Aquarius and Scorpio models is strong, especially for Aquarius, where the total number of outstanding orders has exceeded 350 million units. All suppliers are requested to prepare sufficient raw materials according to our needs to avoid delaying our production. Thank you."

Netizens left numerous comments after seeing this data.

"My goodness, the sales of these two models are more than the combined sales of Yadea and Geely last year! How can there be such a huge difference between companies that make cars!"

"Mr. Yang, you already owe so many cars, aren't you going to expand the factory? We can't keep our foreign customers waiting too long. How about we build another factory? That way, we can have a chance to become your employees."

“I studied in Luoshanji, and people here treat the Aquarius like a yacht. Private yachts are hard to sell. Everyone is spending 6 US dollars to buy an Aquarius to go fishing at sea or something. If foreigners play with it like this, this car can sell at least 1000 million units.”

"I live by the sea, and I'd like to buy an Aquarius car to use as a yacht. I'm wondering if the paint is really resistant to seawater corrosion? If it is, I'll buy one on installment right away. On weekends, I can take my girlfriend out to sea for some fun—how awesome would that be!"

……

The automotive market is a relatively stable existing market, and the customers that Xingchen Auto has acquired are customers that other brands have lost.

European brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi have been forced to continuously lower prices to maintain sales since the millennium due to the impact of Xingchen Automotive. However, they have not achieved the desired results. They have not only suffered a Waterloo in the Chinese market, but they have also lost their home base in the European market.

The prices of Aquarius and Scorpio overlap with the prices of most mid-to-high-end models from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. These millions of customers who bought Aquarius and Scorpio naturally won't buy BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi anymore.

With millions of potential customers lost at the start of the year, it's easy to imagine how difficult this year will be for them.

The US is also demanding that the EU provide 6000 billion US dollars in investment, increase military spending to 5% of GDP, and buy 1000 billion US dollars worth of weapons from the US to support Russia. Where will this money come from?
The automotive industry is the core of the industrial sector. The shrinking of the automotive industry means that the entire industrial system will shrink. Without tax revenue and other sources of income, the unemployment rate will increase, and the inflation rate will also rise. The EU will be in a very difficult situation.

However, that's not all. The bald eagle has set its sights on the EU again, but this time they didn't act directly. Instead, they indirectly eroded Europe's wealth.

The bald eagle suddenly launched an attack on India, accusing them of buying Russian oil, refining it into petroleum products, and reselling it to Europe, making a profit of 200 billion eagle dollars a year.

The US has explicitly demanded that India cease such practices and has prohibited Europe from directly or indirectly purchasing Russian oil, forcing Europe to purchase oil, natural gas, and other energy resources from the US at high prices.

If they don't listen, then just impose a 50% tariff.

Originally, Europe intended to repair the Nord Stream pipeline to reduce the cost of living for its people, but after the US made this statement, they immediately abandoned the idea and notified all countries to ban the purchase of crude oil and refined oil products from Russia and India.

However, ordinary people still need energy sources such as oil and gas to ensure their basic livelihood. Without these cheap energy sources, they can only spend high prices to buy oil and gas from the United States, resulting in an even higher cost of living than before.

Taking electricity as an example, compared with before the conflict between Russia and the United States, electricity prices in Europe had increased fivefold. Now that Europe is not allowed to use energy resold by Russia and the three countries, electricity prices in various countries have generally increased by 20% the next day.

This is the consequence of privatizing basic public services. Capital doesn't lose money; anticipating rising costs, they immediately offset these increases by raising prices. In contrast, China's model of keeping basic public services under government control is much better; electricity prices have barely increased in 30 years.

Electricity is the foundation of industry. Without electricity, there is no industrialization. This is one of the reasons why South Vietnam could never become a new world factory, because they did not have enough electricity in their country and had to import it from China.

Rising electricity prices mean that the prices of various raw materials for production will follow suit, resulting in a significant increase in the production costs of finished products.

European industrial giants, unable to withstand soaring costs, have no choice but to turn to China, a country with social stability, low production costs, abundant raw materials, and relatively high-quality workers.

The first to arrive was the German chemical giant BASF, which plans to build an integrated base in China to produce at least 6 tons of engineering plastics annually to meet the needs of industries such as automobiles and electronics.

However, they were worried that building such a large factory would result in an oversupply of plastic, so they contacted relevant departments in China, hoping they could facilitate a cooperation agreement between Xingchen Automotive and BASF, with at least 30% of Xingchen Automotive's plastic needs to be sourced from BASF's Chinese factory.

As long as they have this sales guarantee, they will immediately come to China to choose a city to build a factory without any worries.

At the same time, Airbus Group of France also sent people to contact relevant departments in China. They plan to build a research center in China based on the Tianjin production line, focusing on new technologies such as hydrogen energy infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, electrification and future passenger aircraft cabins.

It's important to understand that China still lags behind in the field of large aircraft, so the Airbus project was a godsend.

Besides these two giants, BMW also couldn't hold on any longer and is also coming to China to build a factory.

Although European countries have abandoned their commitments to carbon neutrality and new energy vehicles due to practical reasons, car brands such as BMW are unwilling to give up the Chinese market.

Now, new energy vehicles account for more than 40% of the Chinese automotive market, with total sales exceeding 10 million units last year.

BMW definitely wants a piece of the pie in China's new energy vehicle market, so they decided to build a factory in China that integrates research and development and production under the guise of building a new energy vehicle factory.

This excuse is easy to fool other European countries and their own politicians. After all, China has a complete supply chain for new energy vehicles with ridiculously low costs, so no one dares to say anything about BMW's choice.

They will add production lines for gasoline-powered vehicles when the time is right, in order to reduce the overall cost as much as possible.

To differentiate itself from ordinary new energy vehicles and highlight BMW's high-end image, their designers designed the batteries for new energy vehicles to be cylindrical, while the commonly used ones on the market are square.

Therefore, BMW hopes that relevant departments in China can communicate with Yang Chen to produce a cylindrical solid-state battery specifically for BMW.

Once this problem is solved, they will immediately send a team to Dragon Kingdom to select a city to build a factory.

At the same time, the Ruidian Anbotuo Group even moved its factory from Yokohama, Japan to China, and they have identified four cities as potential destinations: Haicheng, Jiangcheng, Hecheng, and Jinling.

Because of the need to invest 5500 billion eagle dollars in the United States, Japan is now facing a huge problem. This money can only be distributed among domestic enterprises, who will have to solve the problem through taxation and other means.

However, this would undoubtedly increase company costs, so some companies began to turn their attention overseas, reducing taxes and amortization by lowering domestic sales.

Toppan Holdings was the first to take action, preparing to build a factory in China to produce CMOS image sensor components.

South Korea wants to invest 3500 billion U.S. dollars in the United States, but their government doesn't have that much money, so they can only rely on domestic companies to solve the problem.

LG was planning to select a site in a city near Seoul to build a panel factory, but has now changed its mind and will build the factory in China.

These are all companies that act decisively. They anticipated that there was no future for development in their own country, so they immediately turned their attention to China.

Companies that are indecisive or slow to react will inevitably turn their attention to the cradle of global industrial production – China – when they discover that production costs have increased significantly.

Of the three-way division of the world that Yang Chen proposed, two have already been realized: the United States has gained financial power, China has gained industrial power, and Russia's ability to gain geopolitical power depends on its own strength.

With so many large foreign companies suddenly wanting to invest and build factories in China, the relevant departments are extremely busy.

In response to BMW's need for cylindrical batteries and BASF's request for Xingchen Automotive to purchase 30% plastic, relevant departments immediately formed a special task force to travel to Jiangcheng to meet with Yang Chen to demonstrate their commitment.

After listening to the detailed explanation from the relevant departments, Yang Chen immediately smiled and said, "This is a good thing, and it's the situation I envisioned. I will definitely support it unconditionally. Tell BMW that cylindrical batteries are no problem; I will specially design and manufacture them for them, and the price will be absolutely preferential. As for BASF, reassure them as well; I can allocate up to 50% of their procurement orders to them. In the future, if foreign companies want to invest and build factories here, just mention me, and you can contact me directly. I will do my best to meet their needs. My vision is for us to acquire industry, and this vision must be realized."

With Yang Chen's assurance, the relevant departments were reassured and immediately contacted companies such as BASF and BMW to clearly guarantee that their requirements would be met.

BASF and BMW immediately sent teams to China. Both companies split into two groups: one group went to select a city to build the factory, and the other group went to negotiate the details of the cooperation with Yang Chen.

The following morning, Xingchen Automotive and Xingchen Battery held a signing ceremony.

Xingchen Automotive and BASF signed a contract to purchase at least 2 tons of industrial plastics annually for a period of 10 years.

Starcell Battery has signed a battery agreement with BMW, under which Starcell Battery will manufacture exclusive cylindrical solid-state batteries for BMW vehicles and will also add cylindrical battery swapping ports to its battery swapping stations.

Seeing that BMW and BASF had already partnered with Yang Chen, other foreign companies that were planning to build factories in China, such as LG, Toppan Holdings, and Epiroc Group, also quickly contacted Yang Chen to seek cooperation.

Given the sales volume of Yang Chen's products, even a small amount given to them would be enough to feed them.

Yang Chen certainly wouldn't cooperate with them for nothing. The cooperation agreement had to include a clause guaranteeing that over 90% of the employees must be Chinese, and that their salaries and benefits must be higher than the industry average.

Yang Chen can make them money, but they must also ensure that the people of Longguo have good job opportunities and benefits.

Seeing foreign giants flocking to China to invest and build factories, the United States is feeling envious again.

Sure enough, at their high-level internal meeting, Commerce Minister Chrisson said sourly, "Yang Chen's idea of ​​dividing the world into three parts is far from being realized in Russia. We haven't even received our money yet, but they are already receiving a steady stream of foreign investment to build factories. It feels like we are at a disadvantage."

Garnett, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "Although I don't think we've suffered a loss, I think he's gained a huge advantage. At first glance, the idea of ​​dividing the world into three parts sounds good, but only they can immediately realize their industrial gains, while we need time to prepare for our financial gains, and Russia's geopolitical advantage is not something we can get anytime soon. Sigh... I feel like we've been outmaneuvered by him again."

The leader exclaimed, "Fuck! We've tried everything, racked our brains, even risked offending our allies, to bring manufacturing back, but we've failed every time. Yang Chen succeeded on his first try. Now we have even less hope of bringing manufacturing back; China's industrial share is about to exceed 50%. They're invincible! Why can't our country produce a Yang Chen?" (End of Chapter)
