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

Glencore's stock price quickly rebounded to above 300 pence, and Yang Chen fulfilled his promise to Glencore.

Yang Chen called Glencore CEO Lopez.

"The stock price has been driven up to a certain level. Whether you can hold it depends on your own abilities. I'm clearing out my position and leaving the market," Yang Chen said.

Lopez quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang. I'm also resigning and leaving now; the company will have nothing to do with me anymore. Mr. Yang has given me a vivid lesson that I will never forget."

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Don't be like that. Now that you say that, I feel like you might sneak up on me and retaliate at any moment."

Lopez quickly explained, "Mr. Yang, you're overthinking it. How could I possibly have the ability to launch a sneak attack and retaliate against you? If I had that ability, I wouldn't have lost like this."

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Then I wish you success in your work and happiness in your life in the future. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately ordered Zhao Jing to sell all her Glencore shares.

The enthusiasm of institutional and retail investors has been aroused, and Sihai Investment easily sold all its shares at the high price.

That evening, the Squid Nation launched a long-range attack on Qatar, using fighter jets and land-based missiles to strike the country remotely.

Qatar immediately activated its powerful plasma shield to defend against the missiles, intercepting all of the Squid Nation's missiles at an altitude of 300-500 meters.

The Squid Nation didn't have many ultra-long-range missiles to begin with, and after all 25 missiles they launched were intercepted, they had no choice but to abandon their plan to attack Qatar.

This has made the entire nation of Qatar extremely happy; they are no longer afraid of the Eagle and the Squid Nation.

Since neither of these two countries' navies nor armies can defeat them, the only means of attacking them is long-range missiles. However, these long-range missiles are completely intercepted in mid-air by the super-strong plasma shield, so they will hardly suffer any losses. What is there to be afraid of?
Qatari King Amir delivered an impassioned televised address overnight, outlining three main points.

First, they are no longer afraid of any enemy because they have a super-powerful plasma shield that can intercept all missiles.

Secondly, Qatar wants to engage in deeper and broader cooperation with Yang Chen, and no one can stop them from cooperating with Yang Chen.

Third, there is nothing to fear about the Squid Kingdom or the Eagle Kingdom. As long as everyone unites, they need not fear any enemy. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they are nothing but paper tigers in front of them.

Amir's televised address not only gave the Qatari military and people great confidence, but also gave the military and people of other brother countries great confidence.

But if some people are happy, then naturally some people will be unhappy.

The most unhappy party is of course the United States, which wasted hundreds of millions of dollars. Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, they also became a foil for Qatar.

The other unhappy party was the Eagles, because the attack on the Squid Kingdom failed, leaving them with only two options.

They either have to get involved themselves, or accept that countries like Qatar use their local currency when doing business with Yang Chen.

They certainly wouldn't get involved themselves; they simply don't dare to get themselves involved in any war right now.

That leaves only one option: to silently accept that countries like Qatar will settle their business with Yang Chen in their own currencies.

However, the Eagles cannot willingly watch them adopt local currency for settlement; they must find a way to stop it.

If threats are no longer effective, then try enticement.

So, Haniyeh, the head of the Bald Eagle military, first called Crown Prince Salman of the Sand Kingdom.

Hania promised Salman that as long as the Sand Kingdom canceled its local currency calculation agreement with Yang Chen, the Bald Eagle would sell high-end weapons, including the F-35, to the Sand Kingdom, and could also help the Sand Kingdom conduct research on extraterrestrial civilizations and send Sand Kingdom astronauts to the International Space Station.

In addition, the Bald Eagle can also guarantee that the Squid Kingdom will not infringe upon the territory and other sovereignty of the Sand Kingdom.

Salman immediately retorted, "Please, this is the age of artificial intelligence. Who needs your outdated F-35s? Can those even fly over here? You probably don't know what equipment a full-scale unmanned combat brigade includes, do you? Mr. Hania, this isn't 30 years ago anymore; your stuff is obsolete. Besides, we don't need your guarantees that the Squid Nation won't invade us; we have the capability to protect ourselves. As for researching extraterrestrial civilizations and the International Space Station, please, we have better options. Why choose your outdated stuff?"

Hania was speechless after Salman's retort, and her anger flared up.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Yang Chen is backing you up. We're here to have a proper talk with you, so you'd better be sensible. Don't think we can't deal with you; we just don't want to make a move yet. But that doesn't mean we definitely won't. Understand?" Hania threatened.

Salman laughed and said, "You guys are still the same as ever, always threatening others. Do you know what we hate most about you? When we cooperate with Mr. Yang Chen, it's not like this. He always helps us achieve a win-win situation and respects each other. Let's talk again when you learn to respect others. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I don't have time to waste with you."

Salman hung up the phone immediately, which infuriated Hania.

After hurling insults, Haniyeh calmed himself down and made another call to Qatar.

As expected, Qatar gave him a rude awakening.

Last week, Hania called the Persian cat company.

Hania promised to lift some economic sanctions against the Persian cat, as long as the Persian cat doesn't get too close to Yang Chen and the local currency settlement agreement is cancelled.

As is well known, the Persian Empire is heavily infiltrated, and the safety of its generals and even its president cannot be guaranteed.

Moreover, the Persian cat is very afraid of death. Even though he is in danger and his older brother has given him a lot of support, all he needs to do is bravely resist. However, he is unwilling to resist and always thinks about making peace with the enemy.

Now that an opportunity for reconciliation has been presented to them, they naturally won't let it slip by.

Persian Cat immediately issued a statement suspending their plan to settle transactions with Yang Chen in their own currency.

Upon hearing this statement, Crown Prince Salman of the Sand Kingdom was so enraged that he launched into a tirade and even made a phone call to the Persian Cat family to hurl insults at them.

The two countries had just reconciled, but relations have been strained again. Qatar, which has always favored Persian cats, is no longer happy about this, and King Almi has called the Persian cat owners to express his protest.

However, the Persian Cat has made a decision that will not change, regardless of how the Sand Kingdom, Qatar, or other brotherly nations view them.

An enraged Salman called Yang Chen, saying, "Mr. Yang, look at the Persian cats. I told you they weren't cut out for anything. They're not capable of great things. We have an old saying here: if you see a poisonous snake or a Persian cat-man in the desert, don't hesitate, just kill the Persian cat-man. Our ancestors' experience is never wrong."

Yang Chen smiled and comforted them, "Don't be angry. They'll know what to do after they suffer a big loss. The Bald Eagle doesn't even keep its promises to its allies, so how could it possibly keep its promises to the Persian Cat? The general direction remains unchanged. The Persian Cat will come back after they've suffered a loss."

Salman sighed and said, "Alright, I'll listen to Mr. Yang. I hope the Persian Cat won't disappoint Mr. Yang. It's obvious that the Bald Eagles are very anxious; they're trying every means to prevent us from settling in our own currency. You'd better be prepared. We can't handle their pressure; only you can give us confidence."

Yang Chen laughed heartily and continued to reassure him, "Don't worry, I will definitely ensure your safety. As long as your safety is guaranteed, what is there to be afraid of?"

Salman laughed heartily and said, "That's true. As long as our safety is guaranteed, we don't need to be afraid. That's all for now, bye."

The bald eagle hasn't run out of dirty tricks yet.

The US ordered Japan and South Korea to demand repayment of loans from Yang Chen, while simultaneously forcing Sanxing to immediately cease manufacturing chips for him.

If Lee Jae-young does not comply, they will take action against her.

Although Samheung was very powerful in South Korea, a businessman is still a businessman, and he is no match for the state apparatus.

In order to intimidate Lee Jae-young, Bald Eagle deliberately made a big show of contacting conglomerates such as LG and SK to discuss the dismantling of Samheung.

Lee Jae-young was indeed scared and quickly called Yang Chen.

“Honey, the bald eagles are forcing me to stop manufacturing chips for you. If I don’t agree, they’re going to take action against me. They’ve already conspired with LG and other companies to dismantle Sanxing. What am I supposed to do?” Lee Jae-young said, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Yang Chen immediately comforted him, "It's alright. If they won't let you do the manufacturing, just distance yourself from me. I'm all ready and can start production myself. Later, you can fire all your security personnel, and I'll let Xingchen Military Industry take over your security. They're just putting on a show to scare you. If they really dare to do something, you'll show them how serious the consequences can be."

Lee Jae-young immediately asked, "Are you able to produce 3-nanometer chips over there?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Haha... It's not just 3-nanometer chips. As long as we can design them, we can produce 1-nanometer chips too. Equipment and technology are no longer the issues that are holding us back. Before long, I'll let the whole world know how cheap chips can be. Oh, by the way, you should hurry up and clear out your stock. You shouldn't produce any more chips. No matter how you try to lower your production costs, they can't be lower than mine. I'll do the manufacturing for you. That way, your costs can be reduced, and you can maintain a certain level of competitiveness. Otherwise, you'll have no market when faced with the impact of our low-priced chips."

Li Zaiying was shocked. He heard Yang Chen say that he had solved a series of problems such as the lithography machine. How could it be so fast?
"Honey, how did you solve the lithography machine problem so quickly? Did you bypass foreign technology?" Lee Jae-young asked.

Yang Chen replied, "Of course. Just do as I say, and soon I'll show them what it feels like to be held hostage by the other side."

Lee Jae-young immediately said happily, "Honey, you're amazing. I'll fly over to see you this weekend, so make sure you're ready in terms of time and health."

"Haha... I understand having time to prepare, but why do you want me to prepare my body?" Yang Chen asked.

Lee Jae-young immediately retorted, "What do you think? We haven't seen each other for so long, shouldn't you pamper me a few times? Stop pretending to be confused, get ready. Bye."

Shortly after, Sanxing Group issued an announcement.

"Effective immediately, our company will no longer manufacture chips for any companies under Yang Chen's name. At the same time, we will be offering discounted chip and equipment promotions. New and existing customers are welcome to contact us to discuss cooperation."

When the top executives of the Bald Eagle family saw Lee Jae-young's announcement, they all smiled with joy.

"Lee Jae-young was ultimately afraid."

"Ha ha……"

“This time we’re serious. Does she dare not be afraid? Without Sanxing’s chip manufacturing, Yang Chen’s intelligent equipment costs and output will be greatly affected.”

"Not only will Yang Chen's company's products be affected, but other companies in China will also be greatly impacted. We can restrict their industrial and technological development to some extent."

The leader of the bald eagle said smugly, "We'll continue to pressure Japan and South Korea to collect their debts from Yang Chen. If Yang Chen won't let us have an easy time, we definitely won't let him have an easy time either! Let's play this game and see who can outmaneuver whom!"

Japan was the first to succumb to the pressure from the United States, and Shu Yin Group, along with companies such as Suzuki Bank, held a video conference with Yang Chen.

Shu Yin Group President Sun Changyi said, "Mr. Yang, I'm very sorry, we don't want to be your enemy either. But the pressure from the US is just too great. You know the situation in both of our countries, we simply can't withstand their pressure and have no choice but to obey their orders to recover the loan we gave you before. Could you return a little bit to us so we can give the US an explanation? Is that alright?"

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "You've probably heard the story of the Blackwater Group, right? You need to understand one thing: that money was the condition for me letting you go. Without that money, I have no reason to let you go. If I can short-sell you twice, I can short-sell you two hundred times. Do you understand what that means?"

Sun Changyi smiled awkwardly and said, "I understand, I understand. But we really have no choice. If we don't chase after you for the debt, the White Eagle won't let us go. Mr. Yang, please have pity on us and pay back a little bit. Even just one eagle coin would be fine. It would be an effort on our part, and we could at least give the White Eagle an explanation. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen shook his head and replied, "If you lose even a penny, my reason for letting you go is invalid. You choose: do you want me to pay you back, or do you want your stock market to crash and your company's stock price to plummet?"

At this moment, Shinichi Sakata, the head of the financial department of the Sakura Country, joined the meeting.

After understanding the progress of the meeting, Sakata Shinichi quickly said, "Mr. Yang, please don't be angry. We definitely want the stock market to stabilize. Let's stop here. We'll just tell Bald Eagle that you refuse to repay your debts, and there's nothing we can do about it. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Say whatever you want."

Sakata Shinichi quickly said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Yang. Let's leave it at that. Goodbye."

Yang Chen nodded and left the meeting.

At this point, the system issued a reminder.

"The host refuses to repay the debt to Japan. The system rewards the host with a typhoon weather weapon, effective immediately." (End of Chapter)
