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

The reason why the Saudi Arabian government wanted to dig that canal was not only for its own convenience, but also to encircle Qatar and turn it into an island nation.

There's nothing wrong with the client paying to dig a canal on their own land. Yang Chen just needs to get paid and do the job, without considering the grudges and conflicts between the client and the third party.

Qatar had tried to communicate with the Saudi Arabia many times without success, so they wanted to use Yang Chen's connections to communicate with the Saudi Arabia to change the canal route.

Yang Chen immediately replied, "I can't help with this. The client pays us, and we do things according to their requirements. We have no choice."

Raib immediately said, "Why don't you give it a try? How will you know it won't work if you don't try? This canal has such a huge impact on us. We really hope Mr. Yang will help us out. We can really meet all of Mr. Yang's conditions."

The feud between the Saudi Arabian state and Qatar is actually a struggle between the Saudi Arabian state and the Persian cat for the top spot in the Middle East, and more fundamentally a religious conflict between Sunnis and Shiites. Historically, issues involving religious beliefs have been difficult to resolve and have always been resolved through force.

Modern civilization dictates that they will not easily resolve issues through war, so trade, economics, and diplomacy become the best options for retaliating against their opponents.

To resolve the conflict between the Sand Kingdom and Qatar, the Sand Kingdom and the Persian Cat must make peace.

If we want these two countries to set aside their religious conflicts and shake hands in reconciliation, then we need to cultivate a powerful common enemy for them.

Obviously.

The Squid Country is the only option.

Yang Chen said, "This is not impossible to do; the key is how much you are willing to put in."

Raib said, "As I just said, Mr. Yang can name any conditions, and we will do our best to meet them."

"Haha... I'm not a robber, I don't extort or blackmail people. If you want me to do something for you, you have to show your sincerity. If your sincerity satisfies me, I'll help you," Yang Chen said.

Raib immediately nodded and said, "If things go well, we'll invest 5000 billion Eagle Dollars in Mr. Yang to help us build a cyber city as well. What do you say?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Oh, you should have said so earlier. Of course I'm willing to take advantage of any opportunity for a win-win cooperation. I'll give it a try."

Raib said happily, "Okay, okay. Then I'll leave it to Mr. Yang. I hope you can bring us good news."

Yang Chen then said, "We hope we can help you build a cyber city."

"Haha..." The two burst into laughter.

If we want to promote reconciliation between the Sand Kingdom and the Persian Cat, then the Squid Kingdom needs to go even crazier.

Yang Chen called BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao.

"Hello, Mr. Pacquiao, I have something to tell you. I'm no longer helping the Persian Cats. You can give the Squid Nation a big push," Yang Chen said.

"Really? How could this be so sudden?" Pacquiao asked in shock.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "This is my trade secret, I can't tell you too much."

“Understood. Thank you, Mr. Yang, for no longer helping them. This is truly good news. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange's acquisition of the Shanghai Stock Exchange is absolutely guaranteed to succeed, I guarantee it!” Pacquiao said excitedly.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news."

After hanging up the phone, Pacquiao immediately and happily reported to the Bald Eagle leadership that Yang Chen would no longer help the Persian Cat.

This delighted the Bald Eagle leadership. Without Yang Chen's help, what was the Persian Cat?
The bald eagle immediately sent a notification to the squid nation, telling them to go all out and that the bald eagle would give them strong support.

Yang Chen is now waiting for the Squid Kingdom to finish its work before stepping in to broker a reconciliation between the Sand Kingdom and the Persian Cat. Once they reconcile, the conflict between the Sand Kingdom and Qatar will also be resolved. And once their conflict is resolved, the possibility of changing the canal's route will arise.

The next morning, while Yang Chen was having sex with Chen Xi's son, who was a graduate student, people from the British Embassy arrived.

Yang Chen went to the reception room to meet them.

"Hello everyone, what can I do for you?" Yang Chen asked.

The ambassador said, "Mr. Yang, you are suspected of violently attacking Mr. Adam Davis, the president of our British Investment Group. We need an explanation from you."

Yang Chen immediately retorted, "Think before you speak, don't just spout nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove I attacked him? So many of us were in a video conference, and he was suddenly attacked. What does that have to do with me? Do you think I could attack him from thousands of miles away with my mind?"

The ambassador said, "Don't try to deny it. Anyone with eyes can see it was you. Your mosquito robots are monitoring people all over the world. Don't think we don't know. You have the ability to attack anyone at any time. Don't deny it."

"Chen Xi, tell the legal department that I'm going to sue them for falsely accusing me, and they must issue a public apology in the newspaper," Yang Chen said.

Chen Xi quickly replied, "Okay, Chairman Yang, I'll notify the legal department to follow up immediately."

The ambassador was furious and said, "You attacked our people and now you want to sue us for a public apology? Is this how you do things?"

Yang Chen replied, "You keep saying I attacked him, where's the evidence? You're convicting me based on your words alone? Who do you think you are! Now, right now, get out of here! Wait for the court summons! Don't even think about leaving China until you issue me a public apology."

The people at the British embassy were stunned. They had originally come to confront Yang Chen and demand an explanation, but instead they had gotten themselves into trouble. How embarrassing!

"Mr. Yang, we..."

"Get out! Call security and get them out of here!"

Chen Xi immediately went outside and shouted "Security! Security!" The security guards responsible for the security of Yang Chen's office floor rushed over as quickly as possible.

Chen Xi ordered, "Get them out of here, don't be polite!"

The security guards immediately stepped forward to drive the group of foreigners away, scaring them so much that they didn't dare to say a word and quickly left.

Shortly after, the head of the legal department arrived.

After understanding Yang Chen's meaning, they immediately went back to prepare the indictment and submitted it to the court.

Upon receiving the indictment, the court immediately contacted the British Embassy to conduct an out-of-court mediation.

Ultimately, the British Embassy accepted the request to publish an apology to Yang Chen.

It wasn't that they did it willingly, but their family complained that a lot of mosquitoes had suddenly appeared in their house in the past few days, and that mosquito coils and liquid mosquito repellents were ineffective. At that point, they knew they had to apologize.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange held a shareholders' meeting and unanimously approved the proposal to accept the merger with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

However, a disagreement arose between British and foreign capital regarding the sale price. Wall Street and other international capital preferred to facilitate the acquisition, believing that 2600 billion British pounds would suffice. However, British capital felt they needed a premium to compensate for their psychological imbalance, demanding at least 4000 billion British pounds for the sale of the exchange.

Such a huge price difference naturally made it impossible to reach an agreement, so the shareholders' meeting had to be suspended, and Pacquiao and Yang Chen would need to communicate before making a decision.

Upon learning that it was British domestic capital that was interfering, Yang Chen said to Pacquiao, "Tell them that I will offer a maximum of 3000 billion Eagle Dollars. If they do not accept, I will only offer 2000 billion Eagle Dollars, and I have plenty of ways to get all your shareholders to accept the 2000 billion Eagle Dollars price."

Pacquiao quickly said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, I'll talk to them properly, 3000 billion Eagle Dollars will definitely work, I said it!"

Pacquiao hung up the phone and immediately addressed the representatives of the British capital: "Fuck! Don't drag us down with you if you want to die. Yang Chen said his maximum offer is 3000 billion British dollars. If we accept, everyone's happy. If we don't, he'll only offer 2000 billion British dollars, and he has plenty of ways to make us accept that price. Listen, I don't want to end up like Adam Davis, my face exploding in the middle of a conversation. I certainly don't want to be sleeping at home and never wake up again. 3000 billion British dollars, you have to agree. Otherwise, I'll have our bald eagle government investigate you thoroughly."

The Qatari consortium representative, Raib, said, "3000 billion Eagle Dollars! Mr. Yang, you're showing great sincerity. Our estimated transaction price is 2600-3000 billion Eagle Dollars. If you continue to be ungrateful, we'll have to take action against you. Anyone who blocks our path to wealth is our enemy. We won't be lenient with our enemies. Our national strength is not as great as yours, but we have plenty of money to hire others to do things for us. You'd better not push us to that point."

As mentioned earlier, the major shareholders of the Stock Exchange are Wall Street financial groups, and the management is also controlled by the United States. Although it is called the Stock Exchange, it is actually a company controlled by the United States.

As long as 2-3 of the local English capital agrees, it doesn't matter whether the rest of the capital agrees or not.

After a cost-benefit analysis, representatives from HSBC and Standard Chartered agreed to a purchase price of 3000 billion Eagle dollars.

With the two banks agreeing, the votes in favor exceeded two-thirds, and even if all the remaining shareholders opposed it, it would be of no use; the price of 3000 billion Eagle Dollars was set.

In order to curry favor with Yang Chen, Pacquiao immediately called Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, thanks to our efforts, the acquisition price of 3000 billion Eagle Dollars has been approved," Pacquiao said happily.

Yang Chen praised him happily, "Haha...very good. Thank you for your hard work. Let's get on with it immediately and finalize this as quickly as possible."

“Haha…” Pacquiao laughed, then continued, “Okay! I’ll contact the Hong Kong Stock Exchange immediately to issue a takeover offer, and then have the Shanghai Stock Exchange issue an announcement accepting the takeover.”

At 4 p.m., the Hong Kong Stock Exchange issued two announcements.

The first announcement was simple: Sihai Investment invested 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire a 10% stake in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The second announcement contained a lot of information, but it can be summarized in one sentence: Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) offered 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX).

These two announcements immediately attracted widespread media coverage and caused a sensation across the internet.

Netizens left comments in the comment section of the related news to express their opinions.

"Holy crap! Doesn't this mean that Mr. Yang personally invested 3000 billion Eagle Dollars to acquire the Exchange?"

"The exchange forced Mr. Yang to settle with Glencore, and in a fit of anger, Mr. Yang acquired the exchange and demanded that Glencore complete the transaction according to regulations. This is like a wish-fulfillment story coming to life."

"So they think they can disregard the rules with Mr. Yang just because they're in England? If they don't follow the rules, then buy it out and set the rules themselves."

"Will the Shanghai Stock Exchange agree to this acquisition? The Shanghai Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange. This deal is of great significance. It can be said to be a role reversal between China and Western countries."

An hour later, the exchange issued an announcement.

Although there is a lot of content, it can be summarized in one sentence.

"I have accepted the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's acquisition offer and am actively handling the relevant procedures."

The exchange's announcement immediately sparked outrage online, with netizens from various countries leaving comments expressing their protest.

An English netizen commented: "Protest! Protest! The Exchange cannot be sold to Yang Chen! He will ruin it! Don't even mention 3000 billion British pounds, even 3 trillion British pounds shouldn't be sold! Whoever sells the Exchange is a historical sinner in England's history."

A Bald Eagle netizen commented: "English netizens, stop struggling. We've agreed; your objections are useless. It's said that Yang Chen ceded a significant portion of his profits for Wall Street to agree to facilitate the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's acquisition of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Today, England's strength is insufficient to sit at the table. What we say goes, understand?"
A South Korean netizen commented: "Even if you're going to sell the Exchange, you can't sell it to Yang Chen! Sell it to our Sanxing Group! Only we can make the Exchange thrive. Selling it to Yang Chen is tantamount to ruining it."

Japanese netizens: Koreans, stop joking. The whole world knows that Lee Jae-young is Yang Chen's lover. Selling him to Sanxing is the same as selling him to Yang Chen, right? And Yang Chen doesn't even have to spend any money. It's like Sanxing spent money to buy the stock exchange and gave it to Yang Chen. Aren't you guys even more upset?

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "He's too strong. The strongest man in human history, bar none. Who would have thought that the sex industry would one day be sold off? I admire no one but Yang Chen."

Bald Eagle's routine meeting.

A reporter from The Times asked a question.

"What is the White Eagle's view on Yang Chen's acquisition of the Wheel Exchange through the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"

The spokesperson replied, “Excellent, this is a good thing. It can promote the internationalization of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and make the Shanghai Futures Exchange more professional. You know, the Shanghai Futures Exchange forced Four Seas Investment and Qingshan Group to negotiate a compensation settlement with Glencore instead of settling according to regulations. This shows that the Shanghai Futures Exchange needs a change of management. The Shanghai Futures Exchange offered 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is very sincere. If I were a shareholder, I would also wholeheartedly support it. Shareholders can make money, the Shanghai Futures Exchange can have more professional management, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can achieve internationalization, and Yang Chen can also get revenge. It's a win-win situation for all parties, so of course we are happy to see this happen.”

The Times reporter: "..."

Other reporters at the scene: "..."

Is the sun coming out in the west today?

Weren't they always finding fault with each other?

Why am I supporting Yang Chen today?

Undeterred, the Times reporter asked again, "There are rumors online that Yang Chen gave you a lot of benefits, so you support him. Is that true?"

The Bald Eagle spokesperson immediately shook his head and replied, "Is there anyone on this planet who can make him cede benefits? If so, please introduce me to them. I will definitely pay a visit to learn how to force Yang Chen to cede benefits. You believe rumors on the internet? Well, you've got it for life."

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

The Times reporter persisted, asking, "Then why are you doing this? This isn't your usual style, nor is it in your best interest. The Stock Exchange has always been under your control, and now it's going to be transferred to Yang Chen. Are you really willing to do this?"

The spokesperson replied with a smile, "Why wouldn't we be willing? Didn't I just say that the shareholders have all made money? The exchange has a more professional management team, and it will develop even better in the future. Shareholders will continue to earn more dividends, which is a good thing. Our attitude is very clear. Time is limited, so please don't dwell on this issue. We also advise you not to ruin a good deal, lest you get yourself into trouble. Next!"

The spokesperson has made it very clear, and the English media dare not dwell on the issue any further.

Five days later, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange completed a series of procedures, including the transfer of equity, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange transferred 100% of its equity to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Subsequently, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange issued two announcements.

The first announcement was that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) had completed its acquisition of the Wheel Exchange. The HKEX paid 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars to all shareholders of the Wheel Exchange to complete the acquisition, and the HKEX now holds 100% equity in the Wheel Exchange.

The second announcement stated that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange gifted Yang Chen a 20% stake in the Luncheon Exchange. Simultaneously, Yang Chen indirectly holds an 8% stake in the Luncheon Exchange through his 10% stake in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for a total of 28% ownership. (End of Chapter)
