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

When it comes to bypassing foreign government regulations and choosing OEM partners, long-standing partners are naturally the most reliable.

As long as Infineon can truly guarantee to cater to the entire European market, Yang Chen is certainly willing to only work for them.

Yang Chen replied, "I understand Mr. Mario's sincerity, and I also prefer to cooperate with my old partner. So, write me a detailed market report, explaining how you plan to do it. As long as I feel that you can really take care of the entire European market, I will only work with you."

Mario immediately replied happily, "No problem! Thank you, Mr. Yang. I'll send you the market report as soon as possible. Haha..."

The thought of soon controlling the entire European chip market made Mario take flight with joy.

Not long after, Prince Holdan of the Sand Kingdom also called Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, congratulations! You're about to control the global chip market! Haha..."

"Thank you. Is there anything I can help you with, Prince Holdan?"

"Here's the thing, we'd also like to expand our product range. Could you give us the chip distribution rights for the Middle East? We're not going to build a factory, and we don't care about making a lot or a little profit. Mr. Yang, just send it over once it's ready, and we'll help you sell it. What do you think?"

"Haha... Sure, I feel more at ease with old partners working together. However, this doesn't earn as much or as quickly as selling oil, so don't get enthusiastic for three days and then quit."

"Mr. Yang, please rest assured. Let me put it this way: if we could only do one thing in our time, we could forgo selling the oil, but we would definitely sell Mr. Yang's chips."

"Haha... Okay, it's settled then. You guys start preparing, and I'll ship the goods to you as soon as possible."

In fact, Yang Chen's goal was to conquer the European and American markets, and incidentally take over Japan and South Korea as well. As for other places, he would leave them to companies like Loongson International. He wasn't very interested in getting involved in things like Japan or the Philippines.

However, to Yang Chen's surprise, the Tata Group of India also contacted him. The Tata Group also wanted to become the agent of Sihai Chips and be responsible for the market in West Asia and Central Asia, including India.

For Yang Chen, the primary task at present is to seize the global chip market. If he relies on himself to develop market channels, it is unknown how long it will take to cover the whole world.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a strong partner in each region.

Since the Tata Group is willing to do it, then let them do it.

However, Yang Chen put forward many conditions, one of which was that Tata Group must pay the full amount in advance for each order, otherwise they would not cooperate.

The Tata Group CEO naturally knew how bad their reputation was. If they lived in China, they probably wouldn't even be able to rent a power bank or ride a shared bicycle.

In order to secure the distribution rights for Sihai Chips, the Tata Group accepted all of Yang Chen's demands, including the requirement to pay the full amount in advance for each shipment.

The global market has been largely divided up; now it's time to test the production capacity of the chip factories around the world.

Although Sihai Chip built three factories in Jiangcheng, and two more in Haicheng and Hecheng, and these seven factories operated at full capacity with three shifts, the chips produced were still not enough to supply various markets.

Tata Group is really proactive. They directly gave 1000 billion Eagle Dollars to Sihai Chip, requiring Sihai Chip to give them priority in supplying chips, and to focus on low-to-mid-range chips, with as few high-end chips as possible.

For India and its neighboring countries, their main demand is for low- to mid-range chips, with very little demand for high-end chips.

The CIA and other agencies have informants all over the world. If other countries want to secretly rebrand Sihai Chips as their own products and sell them, they will naturally not be able to hide it from the eyes of the CIA and other agencies. Soon the United States will find out.

This infuriated the Bald Eagles. They could tolerate their own Nelson branding, since it was for their own use and they were making money from it. Nelson had also given Smith's commissioners at various levels a lot of benefits, so they turned a blind eye.

But other allies and allies can't do that. If everyone does it, how can we limit Sihai Chip's ability to seize the global market?

If we can't restrict the global chip market, won't companies like Nvidia eventually go bankrupt?
Therefore, the leader of the United States personally called the leaders of various European countries, South Korea, and even India, explicitly demanding that they not allow the sale of Sihai chips through rebranding or other means.

If they disobey, the bald eagle will punish them severely.

Isn't that a joke?
Why use expensive and poor-performing chips from companies like Nvidia when there are cheap and good chips available?

Isn't that just plain stupid?

Therefore, although countries verbally guarantee that they will not sell, they actually continue to sell Sihai chips through OEM and other means.

In just one month, Sihai Chips directly and indirectly captured more than 70% of the global chip market.

Nvidia and other companies saw their market share plummet by more than 80%, and their stock prices also collapsed.

Many people used to boast that Nvidia had the highest market value in the world, with over 4 trillion USD, but now it's only worth 5000 billion USD.

Sihai Investment has profited over 6000 billion Hong Kong dollars by shorting the stock prices of companies such as Nvidia.
It's only June, and Sihai Investment's performance this year is already set to reach a new high.

The Bald Eagles couldn't take it anymore. They felt they had to take some concrete actions to threaten their allies and subordinates, otherwise they wouldn't obey.

We can't touch Europe; it's too far-reaching, and if we don't handle it properly, it could lead to serious problems.

Japan and South Korea have run out of resources to exploit. The hundreds of billions of dollars that were promised to be invested in the United States have already locked up the next ten years for these two countries, so there is no point in targeting them again.

After careful consideration, the Bald Eagles finally set their sights on India.

Anyone familiar with international politics and relations knows that India previously wavered between the East and West camps, and both sides were quite tolerant of it in order to win it over. Even the United States indulged India a lot.

However, since the last time the Indians defeated the Barbarians, India's strategic value has become almost zero.

Now that India still dares to defy the US, who else should we target if not India?

Yang Chen was inspecting the research and development work of the pulse detonation engine when the president of Tata Group called him.

"Mr. Yang, I have something to tell you. A program here would like to invite you to participate in a video debate. You can participate from home via video. The topic is about business, technology, and international relations. The participants are mainly from our country, the United States, Russia, and other countries. Could you participate? Please. Our people here are also very interested in seeing you."

"Video is fine, no problem. What time tonight?"

"It's 20 PM local time for us, which is 22 PM there. Is that convenient?" "Sure! Have the TV station contact my secretary to discuss the details. I'll be there on time tonight."

"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Yang."

Given Yang Chen's current knowledge and status, he doesn't need to make any special preparations to participate in this kind of program.

At 22 PM, Yang Chen appeared on the television program on time.

The host is Anabu, who is jokingly referred to by netizens as "Ah San Guo Hyperthyroidism Brother".

As soon as Yang Chen entered, Ana quickly greeted him.

"Mr. Yang, good evening, thank you for joining our program."

The other guests also greeted Yang Chen excitedly. They might only have this one chance in their lives to chat with Yang Chen, so they were naturally very excited.

Yang Chen greeted them politely and then got to the main topic of today's program.

Meanwhile, the Bald Eagles were holding a press conference.

A reporter asked a question.

"What are your thoughts on Sihai Chip capturing 70% of the global chip market in just one month?"

The spokesperson stated, "Frankly speaking, this is really not good news. According to the normal and stable international order, they should be making clothes and shoes, not high-tech products like chips. If they make chips, traditional chip companies will have nothing to do. This is a serious disruption to the international trade order. We suggest that countries join forces to ban Sihai chips from entering their markets, even if it's just rebranding or smuggling."

The reporter asked another question.

"The White House previously advocated to various countries not to use Sihai chips, but the results were obviously unsatisfactory; otherwise, Sihai chips wouldn't have been able to penetrate the global market in just one month. What are your thoughts on this?"

The spokesperson immediately adopted a serious expression and said, "We are very angry about this. We made this request to protect everyone's interests, but it is clear that they are disregarding the big picture for petty gains. Therefore, we have decided to punish them. Our first target is India. Starting at midnight tonight, we will impose a 50% tariff on all goods from India. If they do not stop their wrongdoing, we will continue to raise tariffs without any upper limit."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

The Indian journalists were outraged. "Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

"Why? We are engaging in legitimate business activities based on sound international trade principles. Why are we being sanctioned? Besides, so many countries are selling to us, why are only India being sanctioned?"

The spokesperson immediately stated, “That’s different. For example, countries like Japan, South Korea, and Germany already export chip-related products, so continuing to export them isn’t a big problem. But it’s different for you, India. You didn’t export chips before, but now you’re buying chips from Sihai for export profits, which is unacceptable. Therefore, we must sanction you to make you realize your mistake. As long as you correct your mistakes in time, we will reduce or even eliminate the high tariffs on you, depending on the circumstances. If you remain obstinate, then I’m sorry, the punishment you suffer will become increasingly severe, and it will be continuous, even permanent.”

Journalists from various countries cast sympathetic glances at the Indian journalists. It was clear that the bald eagle wanted to make an example of India as a warning to others.

The news spread quickly, and netizens from various countries left comments mocking India.

A South Korean netizen commented: "India is ridiculous. What is our status compared to yours? Can you even compare to us? As the only developed country in Asia, we can sell to you, but you can't. That's the difference in status."

A Japanese netizen commented: "I was furious when the bald eagle extorted 6000 billion NT dollars from us. But now it doesn't seem so bad. At least we still have some standing in the eyes of the bald eagle, much better than India."

A German netizen commented: "Western countries have already made a strategic mistake once, and they will absolutely not make the same mistake twice. We must restrict India's development and prevent it from becoming a world power. I support the US's approach; regardless of whether India ultimately admits defeat, we must continue to impose high tariffs."

A French netizen commented: "The German netizen is right. The world's resources are ultimately finite; it's impossible for everyone to enjoy high welfare. If people in India could also eat steak and drink milk, the consequences would be too severe. Because it would mean our people would only be able to eat potatoes, or even be unable to afford potatoes."

A netizen from India commented: "As a country with a history of ten thousand years, India is invincible. Even the bald eagle can't defeat us. Just you wait, we will make you white people pay a heavy price!"

At this moment, Anabu's program was still continuing, and the director informed Anabu through his in-ear monitor of the news that the United States had imposed sanctions on India.

A given name can be wrong, but a nickname will never be wrong.

There's a reason why Ana isn't called "Hyperthyroidism Guy".

Anna immediately broadcast the news of the bald eagle's sanctions against India to the guests, and then roared at Lori, a guest from the bald eagle's family: "Mr. Lori, what's going on with you? Why are you treating us like this?"

Lori felt that since this was an Indian program, he should give him some face, so he said, "I didn't know about this, so I can't explain it to you."

Anabu then asked Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, what do you think of this matter?"

Yang Chen replied very seriously: "I think international trade is fine as long as it complies with WTO rules. Individual countries cannot bully other countries for their own selfish interests. Tata Group's agency of Sihai Chips is the same as other companies' agency of Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm and other brand chips. It is a legal act under WTO rules. The United States has no right to stop it, let alone impose sanctions."

Anabu immediately said, "You also think their behavior is wrong, right?"

Yang Chen nodded firmly and replied, "That's right, I think their behavior is wrong and absurd. Based on my personal experience, you can't back down when dealing with a country like the United States; you have to take a tough stance and fight them to the end. I'm not just saying this; you can see what we gained from this tariff dispute, while Japan, South Korea, and Europe all chose to compromise and admit defeat, and what did they gain? As an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years, we will not accept any unreasonable demands. India is also one of the four ancient civilizations, and I believe you can also have the strength to oppose bullying, just like us."

Yang Chen's words really got the hyperthyroid man excited. He immediately gave Yang Chen a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Yang is absolutely right. I can't help but give you a thumbs up."

Guests from countries like Russia tried their best not to laugh, thinking to themselves how easily India could be persuaded.

Anna didn't put down the press release in her hand, and started criticizing Lowry, the guest from the Bald Eagle family.

"Mr. Lowry, please pass on a message to your family: India is an ancient civilization with a history of ten thousand years. We will not accept your bullying, and we will fight back to the end. Any country that tries to bully us will ultimately come to a bad end."

Lowry said helplessly, "No, no, no, you're really different from the Dragon Kingdom. You're not strong enough..."

Anabu instantly flew into a rage, roaring, "What did you say? We're not strong enough? How are we not strong enough? We're an ancient civilization just like the Dragon Kingdom, with ten thousand years of history and culture. You say we're not strong enough? You're just a country with only two hundred years of history, what right do you have to say we're not strong enough?"

Lowry added, "Really, you guys really can't do it, believe me..."

Anna roared, "Shut up! Shut up right now! You're the ones who are no good. You're just a country with only two hundred years of history. What right do you have to say that we, a country with ten thousand years of history, are no good?" (End of Chapter)
