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

Seeing German companies like BMW and BASF investing and building factories in China, other EU countries are feeling uneasy.

Sure enough, at the latest routine meeting of the European Union, Italy took the lead in attacking Germany.

"German representative, so many of your companies are investing and building factories in China. Don't you think this is an act of betrayal? We have already formulated a strategy targeting Yang Chen, yet you go and invest and build factories in China. Isn't this openly going against us?"

Representatives from other countries nodded in agreement and joined in condemning Germany's anti-social behavior.

In reality, they were just jealous that German companies had found a way to break the deadlock first, and because they wanted to maintain political correctness, they were embarrassed to follow suit and invest in factories in China. Therefore, they didn't want German companies to invest in factories in China either.

Everyone else is doing well together, so why should Germany be the only one to overcome its difficulties?

This is even more uncomfortable for them than having someone poop in their mouth.

The German representative immediately said with a proud look, "I said before that it was a disgrace to talk nonsense with people like you who have no political intelligence and only know how to be politically correct. You didn't like to listen then, but now do you think I'm right? Did I belittle you, or did I accurately evaluate you?"

The representatives from various countries were speechless at the words of the German representative, their embarrassment evident.

The German representative continued smugly, “We’re all Europeans, it’s normal to have a few arguments, and they’ll be over soon. As I said before, we always prioritize the interests of Germany and Europe as a whole, and we don’t care about political correctness. As for the US, we just need to flatter them a bit on the surface. Do you really think you can just listen to them and ignore your own economy and interests? Right now, the US is adamant about not letting us use Russia’s oil and gas resources, but they’re buying oil and gas from Russia and reselling it to us at high prices. They’re even preventing India from reselling to us. We can’t disobey the US’s orders, so the only solution is for large companies to build factories abroad. Considering raw materials, social stability, and worker quality, China is the most suitable. China doesn’t have to spend a penny, yet it has reached the best exchange rate with the US. Don’t you understand what to choose?”

The Italian representative immediately replied, "But what if the Eagles change their minds again and impose high tariffs on them?"

The German representative retorted, "Do you think that's possible? We haven't been able to get them to compromise yet, will we have another chance in the future? Everything is based on military strength. Do you think their new equipment is just for show? Why do you think the US only dares to cause trouble in the financial and trade sectors? If you can't even understand this, then my assessment of you is absolutely accurate."

The representatives from various countries fell silent again, seemingly swayed by the words of the German representative.

After the meeting, the representatives from various countries immediately reported the situation to their families, suggesting that their families follow Germany's example and encourage large enterprises to go global, prioritizing investment and factory construction in China.

If they had made this suggestion before, their family would have immediately refused. But now that companies like BMW have invested and built factories in China, they need to seriously consider the possibility of investing and building factories in China as well.

Prince Holdan of the Sand Kingdom brought his team to the Four Seas Group to discuss cooperation with Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, we are very interested in cyber cities. We plan to invest 1 trillion Eagle Coins to transform Leyard into a cyber city. In addition to comprehensively upgrading Leyard's basic transportation infrastructure, the project also includes digging a canal connecting the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. I wonder if Mr. Yang is capable of undertaking this large-scale project?"

What the hell!

The Sand Kingdom has long had the idea of ​​digging a canal to connect the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, but it has not been able to implement this plan in the past for various reasons.

Now that they see Yang Chen has dug the Jianpuzhai Canal, connecting the Lancang River, the Gulf of Thailand, and the Indian Ocean, their desire to dig a canal has rekindled.

Yang Chen immediately replied, "It's definitely doable, but 1 trillion Eagle Dollars might not be enough! Connecting the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf is over 2,000 kilometers, and your area is a desert environment, making excavation extremely difficult. We can't just finish excavating it and call it a day; we also need to consider subsequent maintenance. So, we'll need to plant vegetation on both banks, and we might need to add a layer of cement to the canal, among other additional projects. Then you also want to comprehensively upgrade the transportation infrastructure in Leyard, which is another incalculable expense. Let's calculate based on our road construction costs: one kilometer of high-speed rail costs 100 million Dragon Dollars, one kilometer of highway costs 50 million Dragon Dollars, and one kilometer of subway costs 700-1 billion Dragon Dollars. Considering all that, 1 trillion Eagle Dollars might not be enough."

Holdan immediately said, "It's alright, we can add more if it's not enough. How much do you think is enough?"

“Add another 2000 billion Eagle Dollars to ensure we can meet your requirements,” Yang Chen said.

Holdan immediately replied, "It's not a big problem. The project is 20% over budget, which is within an acceptable range. But you must guarantee that you can produce results that satisfy us."

Yang Chen said confidently, "Haha... We'll produce the planning drawings and renderings first, and we'll start construction only after you're satisfied. I guarantee it with my name, 'Yang Chen,' okay?"

Holdan laughed heartily, immediately stood up, shook hands with Yang Chen, and said, "Deal! I'll call the Crown Prince now to report, and we'll talk again later."

"Please go ahead!" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Yang Chen went outside and let Holdan have a good talk with the Crown Prince.

About ten minutes later, Holdan invited Yang Chen back.

“Mr. Yang, our Crown Prince said that adding another 200 billion Eagle Dollars is really too much, but adding another 100 billion Eagle Dollars is no problem. However, if Mr. Yang Chen could help us purchase four Type 055 destroyers and two supersonic versions of Type 094 destroyers, then adding another 200 billion Eagle Dollars would also be acceptable,” Holdan said.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Haven't you guys always wanted to buy the Type 052D destroyer? I can help with that. The Type 055 is unlikely."

Holdan said with a smile, "If it weren't challenging, why would we need Mr. Yang's help? 1.2 trillion Eagle Dollars, Mr. Yang can meet our requirements, so we'll give you this super project."

Actually, the Type 055 is not impossible to export. After all, Yang Chen's plasma stealth technology has been successfully tested on the Type 057, which will soon be officially commissioned. It is not impossible for the Type 055 to have an export version.

However, there is absolutely no hope for a supersonic submarine; Yang Chen would never sell this technology to any country.

"I can try my best to develop an export version of the Type 055. But there's no hope for a supersonic version of the Type 094. Supersonic submarine technology won't be sold to foreign companies anytime soon, even if you offered 10 trillion US dollars. This is our reliance for maintaining maritime superiority, and it can't be measured in money. If it becomes available for sale in the future, and you still need it, I guarantee I'll give you priority," Yang Chen said.

In fact, the Sand Kingdom understood that a supersonic submarine was hopeless, but they still brought it up because people like compromises. Yang Chen couldn't meet the requirements for a supersonic submarine, but he would definitely do his best to meet the requirements for the Type 055 destroyer. What the Sand Kingdom wanted was to get the Type 055 destroyer in one go.

So Holdan immediately said, "Okay! Then we'll trouble Mr. Yang to help us with this. If we can get 055, we'll also entrust you with the 1.2 trillion Eagle Coin project."

"Okay! You guys take a break, I'll make a call and ask. We'll talk again later," Yang Chen replied.

Upon returning to his office, Yang Chen called Jiang Wenming, explained the situation, and asked him to immediately report to his superiors to see if the Sand Kingdom's demands could be met.

If this massive 1.2 trillion Eagle Dollar project is successfully implemented, China's economy will see a significant improvement. Large-scale infrastructure projects have a very noticeable effect on economic growth. Back in 08, when the 4 trillion stimulus package was launched during the financial crisis, China's economy took off.

1.2 trillion Eagle Dollars is equivalent to 8.5 trillion Dragon Dollars. If all materials are purchased domestically, it will definitely drive significant economic growth.

Relevant departments immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the possibility of a 055 takeout version.

About an hour later, Jiang Wenming called Yang Chen back.

"In principle, we can meet their requirements, but it definitely can't be the full-fledged version; we can only give them a stripped-down version for export. We need to sit down and discuss the specific features we'll retain. Chairman Yang invited them to stay for three days, and we'll immediately send a team to talk to them. We'll also dispatch another Type 055 destroyer to Jiangcheng Port to take them aboard and determine which features to retain. We'll do our utmost to secure this project," Jiang Wenming said.

Yang Chen replied, "Okay! I'll go talk to them now." After hanging up, Yang Chen returned to the reception room and began communicating with Holdan.

Upon hearing that there was hope, Holdan nodded repeatedly with delight.

"As long as there is hope, we are willing to wait, even if it takes three hundred days, let alone three!" Holdan said excitedly.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, everyone, go back to the hotel and rest first. Tomorrow I'll take you to see our amateur football match."

Holdan immediately nodded happily and said, "Haha... Okay! See you tomorrow. Mr. Yang, goodbye!"

After seeing Holdan off, Yang Chen happily whistled as he returned to his office.

This 1.2 trillion Eagle Dollars guarantees them at least 4000 billion Eagle Dollars in profit. If this order is signed by Four Seas Properties, this one order alone will be enough to propel Four Seas Properties to new heights.

Back then, everyone laughed at Sihai Group for having a debt of 3 trillion, didn't they?
Let's show them how much profit we've made right now.

The next day at noon, Jiang Wenming's delegation arrived in Jiangcheng.

Yang Chen hosted a banquet to entertain them and the delegation from the Sand Kingdom. The two sides were to get acquainted first, then watch a football match after dinner, and then sit down to talk business. The 055 Nanchang ship would dock in Jiangcheng tonight, and tomorrow he would take them aboard to finalize the functions to be retained. Whether the two sides could reach an agreement would then be determined.

Yang Chen did not participate; he only needed to wait for the results.

Meanwhile, Sihai Agricultural High-Tech is busy with spring planting in Mauritius and Africa. The only task at this stage is to cultivate more super seeds using the natural growth cycle. Based on the scale of 7.7 million mu of land, the first year can cultivate enough seeds of various crops for China to use, and there may even be a lot left over for export to friendly countries.

Simultaneously.

The gene-based pesticide that Yang Chen handed over to the Sihai Agricultural High-tech Research Team last year has already collected enough experimental data, and the factory has started mass production. Now it can be promoted and publicized.

It's really difficult to advertise pesticides because, according to relevant laws and regulations, pesticide advertisements can only simply introduce the pesticides themselves, and cannot invite celebrities, research institutions, experts, or scholars to endorse or promote them.

The law must certainly be obeyed, but good things should also be promoted.

Yang Chen called Guo Benchang, the head of the agricultural department.

"Minister Guo, the pesticides we registered with your department last time are ready to be launched. I'd like to promote them properly, is that alright?"

"Of course! You just need to carry out the publicity. We'll investigate you, get a professional report to prove your publicity is true and effective, and fine you 20 yuan as well. How does that sound?"

"Haha... Sure, sure. My company violated the law, so it should be punished accordingly."

The law is the law. Just because he is Yang Chen doesn't mean he can blatantly break the law. If someone with ulterior motives uses this to make a big fuss, it will be bad for everyone.

Therefore, this 20 yuan fine must be imposed; once it is, no one can argue against it anymore.

Yang Chen called Guo Haizhou, president of Sihai Agricultural High-Tech, and instructed him: "Promote normally, do whatever works best. The agricultural department will investigate us later, have a professional organization test the effectiveness of our promotion, and issue a report to prove that our promotion is true and effective. They will fine the company 20 yuan, and you just need to accept the penalty according to the law."

"Haha...that works too! I know what to do now. Just watch, I guarantee the publicity effect will be fantastic," Guo Haizhou said with a smile.

Yang Chen's mind was focused on the 1.2 trillion Eagle Coin project in the Sand Kingdom, so he didn't pay much attention to the promotion of gene-based pesticides.

Jiang Wenming's team, along with Holdan's team, spent a whole day on the Nanchang ship, finally finalizing the functions of the export version.

Holdan didn't even have dinner. He took Jiang Wenming's team directly to the Sand Kingdom on a private jet. They needed to report to the Crown Prince and get his approval before it was considered done.

Just as Yang Chen was about to leave work, Chen Xi reported on his phone: "Chairman Yang, look, Agricultural High-Tech has hired 'Silly Root Wang Bao' to promote gene-based pesticides."

Yang Chen looked puzzled. Guo Haizhou was saying that the publicity effect would be amazing, and that he meant to hire Wang Bao to do the publicity?

To achieve better publicity results, Guo Haizhou personally led his research team and Wang Bao to promote gene-based pesticides via live broadcast.

Guo Haizhou asked with a smile, "Wang Bao, do you know what the most distinctive feature of our pesticide is?"

Wang Bao immediately flashed his signature goofy grin and replied, "What other features could pesticides have? They're obviously good at killing insects, right? You can't drink them, can you?"

At this moment, the comments section opened.

"Haha... Wang Bao is so honest."

"That makes sense. How else can agriculture be distinctive? You can't exactly drink it, can you?"

"I have to say, the color is almost the same as cola."

"No, Wang Bao, if you're so honest, how are they supposed to promote it? They can't just say he can drink a lot, can they?"

Guo Haizhou laughed heartily and said, "Wang Bao is absolutely right. Our pesticides are very effective at killing insects. Although we don't recommend drinking them, it's okay if you accidentally drink them. It's just like drinking cola. Not only is it harmless, it's also a little sweet."

At this moment, the comments section opened.

"???"

"??"
