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

Chapter 99 President Ma requests debt-to-equity swap, Longke Institute publicly requests cooperation
Ali Gaba Group.

Mr. Ma fell into deep thought as he watched the overwhelming news online about the Sihai team's transformation and crushing victory over the Sakura team.

Back when the Sihai team dominated the Dragon Country A-League, Boss Ma invested 20 billion to acquire a 40% stake in the Sihai team. Later, the Sihai team declined and this investment turned into debt, which now exceeds 30 billion including principal and interest.

A while ago, Mr. Ma used this debt to force Yang Chen to stop shorting Yihua Entertainment because of Yang Chen's shorting of Yihua Entertainment, but Yang Chen refused.

The dominance shown by the Sihai team against the Sakura team can at least guarantee that the Sihai team can dominate the Asian football scene for some time to come, which means that the team's commercial prospects are immeasurable.

After some consideration, Mr. Ma called Yang Chen and said that he wanted to convert the 20 billion investment, including principal and interest, into 40% equity of Sihai Sports.

This moment, that moment.

At that time, the Sihai team at best had the strength to win the Asian Champions League. Now the Sihai team is guaranteed to win the Asian Champions League and can compete for the World Cup title. Therefore, it is unrealistic for Mr. Ma to still want a 40% stake.

Mr. Ma naturally refused to give up. He continued, "You can't deny the contract I signed with Wang Sihai, right?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "You signed a contract with Wang Sihai, you asked him to fulfill it, why did you ask me? If Wang Sihai transferred the power to me legally, I would naturally bear everything. He has already run away, how can what he signed count? I only recognize the debt, not what you signed with him."

"Then I just want 40% of the shares of Sihai Sports. Just name a price." Mr. Ma said arrogantly.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "Boss Ma is so insistent, I can't be so unkind. The previous debt will be written off, and if you invest another 200 billion, I can give you 4.9% of the equity."

Mr. Ma was so angry that he laughed. Originally, the Sihai Football Club owed Mr. Ma 30 billion including principal and interest. This debt was written off and he was given 200 billion. It was equivalent to Mr. Ma investing 230 billion in the Sihai Football Team, but only getting 4.9% of the shares in return. Does this mean that Yang Chen's valuation of the Sihai Football Team is 4700 billion?
"Mr. Yang, are you crazy? You valued the Sihai Football Team at 4700 billion?" Mr. Ma asked.

Yang Chen said very confidently: "This is a preferential price given to you because you are Mr. Ma. If other capital wants to invest, I will at least calculate it based on a valuation of 5000 billion. Anyway, you can choose whether you want it or not. The current Sihai Football Team has a bright future. In the future, it is not impossible for them to represent Longguo in the World Cup and win the championship. At that time, the significance of this Sihai team can't just be measured by money. Is a mere 5000 billion valuation high? Mr. Ma can think about it carefully, but don't think about it for too long, because I have received many capital requests for shares in the past few days. I will only release 10% of the shares at most, and it will be gone after it is sold. Haha..."

Yang Chen hung up the phone and asked Mr. Ma to think about it carefully.

According to the Securities Law, the maximum shareholding ratio of a major shareholder of a listed company with a total share capital of less than 4 million is 75%, and the maximum shareholding ratio of a major shareholder of a listed company with a total share capital of more than 4 million is 90%.

If Yang Chen wants to list Sihai Sports in the future, he must control his shareholding ratio within 90%. He can only sell a part of his shares. While there is a lot of capital for consultation now, he can ask for more. Anyway, it’s up to him to take it or not, and he is not in a hurry to sell it.

After much deliberation, Mr. Ma couldn't resist the temptation to invest in Sihai Sports. It is obviously too high to value Sihai Sports at 4700 billion now, but Mr. Ma thought from another perspective that 230 billion is not a lot of money, and he can't spend all the money in his lifetime anyway, so why not use it to do something that interests him?

The wealthy people in Longguo all have a dream of playing football, including Wang Sihai, Lao Wang of Yida Group, Mr. Ma of Ali Gaba and so on.

But without exception, they failed to achieve good results.

Now that the Sihai team has demonstrated its ability to dominate Asia, how can Mr. Ma resist such temptation?

President Ma immediately called Yang Chen again and said straight to the point: "Boss Yang, I accept your offer. However, this time I want to invest in Sihai Sports in my personal name. I will give you 232 billion, and you take out 32 billion to return to Ali Investment. In this way, you can still get 200 billion, and clear the debt between Sihai Sports and Ali Investment. Is that okay?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Haha...Okay! Let's follow Boss Ma's plan."

Mr. Ma immediately contacted the bank and transferred 232 billion yuan to Sihai Sports’ account.

After Sihai Sports received the money, Yang Chen withdrew 32 billion yuan to pay off the debts of Alibaba Investment, and another 6 million yuan to pay off the debts of Sihai Sports and several shareholders who held the remaining 9% of the shares.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sihai Sports and Mr. Ma issued announcements at the same time.

The content of the announcement is as follows:

Mr. Ma invested 232 billion in Sihai Sports in his personal name, acquiring 4.9% of the shares and becoming the second largest shareholder of Sihai Sports.

Sihai Sports has repaid all equity-converted debts to Alibaba Investment and other entities and individuals, and the current total remaining debt is 258.8 billion.

Sihai Sports will continue to seek partners and expects to sell up to another 5.1% stake.

Soon the news that Mr. Ma personally invested 232 billion to acquire a 4.9% stake in Sihai Sports spread across the Internet. After all, Mr. Ma is also a super IP, and his every move is the focus of netizens' attention.

"Oh my god, Mr. Ma has too much money to spend, so he's using it for charity? 232 billion for a 4.9% stake, doesn't that mean Sihai Sports is now valued at 4700 billion? That's too much. They just beat the Sakura team, is it worth such a high valuation?"

"You all don't know how to trade stocks. Trading stocks is all about speculation on expectations. As long as the expectations are good, the stock price will rise, and the market value will naturally be high. I would like to ask you what your expectations are for the Sihai team now? Is it guaranteed to win the Asian Champions League and compete for the World Cup? With this expectation, is the valuation of 4700 billion still high? You have no idea what a World Cup championship means to Chinese football and sports."

"Let me put it this way. If you can lead the Dragon Country team to win the World Cup, you will be released immediately even if you are a death row inmate, and the people of the country will have no objection. Director Yang only spent more than 20 days of special training to make the useless Four Seas team crush the doping Sakura team. Wouldn't it be easy for them to win the World Cup in two years? By then, they will have so much money from advertising endorsements and business sponsorships that their hands will cramp."

"Mr. Ma is definitely not stupid. He dares to accept this valuation, which means he thinks he will not lose money. As long as the Sihai team can win the World Cup, it will be natural for Sihai Sports to go public. By then, the market value will be pushed to trillions by those fans. With Mr. Ma's investment, not counting the dividends from advertising sponsorship, the market value alone can at least double."

……

As mentioned before, Mr. Ma himself is a super IP. His investment gave other capitals great confidence. Capitals that were originally still hesitant accepted the offer made by Yang Chen based on a valuation of 5000 billion.

But here comes the problem. They didn’t accept it immediately before, but now they all accept it at the same time. Who should Yang Chen give it to?
When everyone wants to buy, open auction is the best solution.

Yang Chen asked Sihai Sports President Chen Yulong to notify all interested investors to come to Jiangcheng State Guesthouse at 8 o'clock on Friday night to participate in the equity auction.

……

The first wave of 30 bottles of Sihai Ice Spring were released, and scientific tests and consumer word-of-mouth have been released one after another.

What everyone is most concerned about is the test results of the School of Life Sciences of Longke Institute.

Early in the morning, the School of Life Sciences announced the results of their repeated tests.

Sihai Ice Spring contains a variety of trace elements and a new substance. It is the effect of MicroRNA in this new substance on the human body that changes the expression of genes in cells, thereby achieving the effect of quickly restoring and enhancing physical strength.

MicroRNA plays a special role in regulating protein production in the human body. Currently, the School of Life Sciences is working hard to study the effect of MicroRNA in cancer treatment. Sihai Healthcare has already commercialized it, which shows that they have mastered this technology very well.

According to the research results of all genetic experts from the School of Life Sciences of the Long National Academy of Sciences, it is inferred that the unknown ingredients in the Four Seas Ice Spring will only affect the genes of the Long people, and will not be effective on the genes of other races. In other words, the Four Seas Ice Spring can only enhance the physical strength of the Long people, and will not be effective on other races.

The School of Life Sciences of Longke Institute publicly requested cooperation from Sihai Healthcare, hoping that the two sides could cooperate in the field of MicroRNA and develop treatments for cancer in the future.

In real life, ordinary people want to see a specialist when they go to the hospital for medical treatment, which shows the status of authoritative experts in the hearts of ordinary people.

The inspection report of the Longke Institute and its open request for cooperation have made all Long people completely reassure about Sihai Bingquan.

On Weibo, the “Yang Chen VS Smith” section has been updated.

Round three:

The genetic products of the Smith Institute and Coca-Cola have serious side effects, which can cause abnormalities in human red blood cells and turn people into "blood horses". They have now been ordered by the market supervision department to recall all of them, and to refund three times the amount and bear the treatment costs of affected consumers.

The Sihai Ice Spring has passed the testing of experts from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, proving that it not only contains a variety of trace elements, but also contains a certain substance that only affects the genes of the Dragon people. It is this substance that allows the Dragon people to enhance their physical strength after drinking the Sihai Ice Spring.

Summary: Yang Chen wins.

Comment area.

"With the affirmation from all the genetic experts at the Dragon Academy, everyone can drink it with confidence. But I have already drunk more than a dozen bottles, and now I feel that my strength has indeed increased a lot. Before, I couldn't even do a standard pull-up, but now I can do more than ten or twenty. Only after using it yourself can you know how amazing Sihai Ice Spring is." "It's amazing, it only works on the genes of Dragon people, and has no effect on people of other races. Doesn't that mean that in the future, our Dragon athletes can cheer up midway, but athletes from other countries can't? Haha... Dragon sports are about to take off."

"Yang Chen is really awesome. A product, a new substance. Where did Wang Sihai find such a talent? This is his greatest achievement in his life."

"Guess whether Smith will fulfill his bet and smash his Nobel Prize. I guess not. Foreigners are all good at talking big. It is harder than climbing to the sky to ask them to fulfill their promises."

……

Some are happy and some are sad.

Tang Jian, president of Coca-Cola's Longguo region, was almost worried to death. What the major channel dealers returned was not only the Superman fast-acting functional drink, but also a large number of Coca-Cola, Ice Dew, Minute Maid, Sprite, Fanta and other flagship products.

Beverage products have a shelf life. After all this trouble, this batch of products will almost certainly be piled up in the warehouse waiting to be scrapped, which is a huge loss.

This loss is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that this incident will seriously affect the brand reputation.

As an old rival, Pepsi took action at this time.

Guo Xiang, president of PepsiCo's Longguo region, immediately took out 100 million yuan to bribe real consumers and self-media accounts to post videos denouncing Coca-Cola.

At the same time, PepsiCo officially announced a big sale, offering discounts to major channel dealers and also offering discounts and promotions in the terminal market.

Currently, there are almost only Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the Longguo cola market, and the market lost by Coca-Cola will almost all be taken away by Pepsi.

Sometimes business wars are like this. You don’t need to do anything. You just need to wait for your opponent to make a mistake. Then you can seize the opportunity when your opponent makes a mistake and win with one strike.

In the evening, the news from Longguo reached the Bald Eagle's home and fermented on the Internet. Netizens all over the world knew what had happened.

On YouTube, the comment section of the video of the match between the Sihai team and the Sakura team went crazy.

Sakura Country netizen Guan Gu Shenqi: Damn, this is unfair. The Sihai team used technology openly, so it is not glorious to win. We were completely cheated by Coca-Cola and Smith Institute. Their genetic potion made our players feel uncomfortable, so they played so badly. Coca-Cola and Smith Institute must take responsibility for this, apologize publicly immediately, and compensate us for the loss of reputation by 1 trillion eagle coins. Finally, we asked Smith to fulfill his bet and smash the two Nobel trophies in his hands.

South Korean netizen Li Zhongji: Sakura people, don't be too ridiculous. Your players' skills are completely crushed by the Four Seas team. Anyone who is not blind can see it. Your failure has nothing to do with technology. It is purely a technical crush. If it were our South Korean team, it would be different. We have many players playing in Europe, and we can definitely beat the Four Seas team easily. Also, you, a colonial country, dared to ask for 1 trillion in compensation from the host multinational company and the meritorious research institute. You must have forgotten to bring your brain home after get off work and left it at the adult film shooting site. In addition, shouldn't Smith fulfill his bet and smash the two Nobel trophies?
Chris Kidd, a Bald Eagle netizen: Has the genetic technology of Dragon Country developed to such a terrifying level? They can even develop a technological water that is only effective for Dragon Country genes. Even if people from other countries know that they have technological water, they can't do anything. Current technology cannot detect that their technological water contains banned ingredients. In the future, Dragon Country will take all the championships, runner-ups and third places in all sports events that require physical strength. It's really unfair to other countries.

Amihan, a netizen from India: In terms of genetic technology, if India is ranked second, other countries dare not claim to be the first. We already had a genetic medicine that is only effective for Indians ten years ago, otherwise how could everyone in India be so strong and healthy. Dragon Country did a great job, they will catch up with our current level of technology in another ten years. I hope the researchers from Bald Eagle will admit defeat and smash those two Nobel Prizes, so that we don't look down on you.

……

It can be seen that netizens all over the world are waiting for Smith to fulfill his bet and smash the two Nobel Prizes that he is so proud of.

At this time, Coca-Cola headquarters.

President Murphy was so angry that he smashed everything on his desk, including his newly bought laptop.

Coca-Cola has spent nearly 5 million Eagle Coins on the Superman project, but now faces the dilemma of refunding three times the price in the Dragon Country market, paying huge fines, recalling products, accepting returns from distributors, and seriously damaging its brand reputation.

As we all know, brand reputation is more important than anything else. Wasted investments and product recalls are all acceptable, as it is nothing more than losing money. However, once the brand reputation is damaged or even spurned by consumers, it is all over.

The angry Murphy personally led people to the Smith Institute to find Michael Smith to ask for an explanation. Coca-Cola must not bear all the consequences.

At this time, Smith had completely lost his energy and spirit. He could never have imagined that things would develop to this point.

Originally he wanted to justify the Nobel Prize, but ended up justifying Yang Chen for smashing the Nobel Prize cup.

The entire institute has conducted repeated tests on the Sihai Ice Spring that was airlifted in to confirm that the test report from the School of Life Sciences of the Longke Institute is accurate.

The content of the bet between Smith and Yang Chen is to compete with each other in genetics. The Four Seas Ice Spring can only affect the genes of the Dragon people and will not affect the genes of other races. This result is powerful enough and is another scientific research result that can win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Andris, the bald eagle genetic weapons expert who has worked on microRNA for half his life, no longer needs to feel upset or regretful for not winning the Nobel Prize, because his scientific research results in microRNA cannot be compared with Yang Chen's results.

Even if Yang Chen looked down upon the Nobel Prize, it would not be his turn to win the award based on his research results in microRNA.

Yang Chen accidentally did a great thing, and immediately "solved" Andris' regret of not being able to win the Nobel Prize after struggling for most of his life.

Smith was still in a daze when Murphy rushed in aggressively.

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation now. Why did it turn out like this? Your 15 years of research results have such a big flaw, why didn't you discover it? I now seriously suspect that you used false experimental data to deceive us. I demand that you bear all our losses, a total of 100 billion Eagle Coins!" Murphy pointed at Smith and roared.

Smith's colleagues stepped forward to persuade Murphy to calm down. No one wanted to cause the current situation. This was completely an accident. If they really knew that this technology had such serious side effects, they would never joke about their reputation.

But Murphy didn't want to hear that. He insisted that the Smithsonian Institute bear all the losses of Coca-Cola Company for a price of 100 billion Eagle Coins.

Smith sighed, and then said to Murphy: "Go to court and sue me. If the judge rules that I should compensate you 100 billion Eagle Coins, I will pay it without hesitation. Other than that, I will not say anything to you. Please leave now, you are not welcome here!"

The Coca-Cola Company is very powerful, but the Smith Institute has a much higher status in the Bald Eagle family than Coca-Cola. After all, the Smith Institute's partners are all big brands, and it also has military cooperation. It is pure fantasy for Murphy to scare Smith into losing money.

Security personnel forcibly escorted Murphy and his group out of Smith's office.

Smith looked at the Nobel Prize placed next to him, his eyes filled with unwillingness and reluctance.

Is it really going to fall?
These were the Nobel Prizes that he was most proud of in his life. Breaking them would mean destroying his beliefs in life, and he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

Smith called Yang Chen and proposed to use money or other means to fulfill the bet, as long as the Nobel Prize was not smashed.

But what Yang Chen wanted was to break the superstition about the Nobel Prize, so how could he possibly accept money or other means to fulfill the bet?

“I’m sorry, Mr. Smith, I don’t accept any other way. You must honor the bet between us and smash the two Nobel Prizes in your hands. Of course, you can also pretend to be dead and not honor it, and I can’t do anything to you. It’s your choice, and this is my attitude.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Smith immediately replied, "I can't not fulfill the bet. Otherwise, how can I face people? How much negative impact will I bring to the Nobel Prize and the Bald Eagle Country? I just want to use other methods instead of smashing the Nobel Prize to fulfill the bet. I hope Mr. Yang can help me, okay?"

"If you have nothing else, hang up. I have to go to bed." Yang Chen said, and hung up the phone.

Smith stared at his phone in a daze for a while, then sighed, stood up and walked towards the Nobel Prize.

Smith called his assistant in and ordered, "Record this with your phone. I'm going to smash the Nobel Prize."

The assistant immediately hugged the trophy and advised with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Smith, no! These two trophies are a recognition of your scientific achievements throughout your life. You can't drop them."

Smith sighed and said, "I am a person first, and then a scientific researcher. If I am willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat, how can I live as a human being in the future? How will people around the world view me, the Bald Eagle Country, and the Nobel Prize? This actually helps Yang Chen prove that the Nobel Prize is nothing great. After all, the person who gets it doesn't even have the most basic credibility."

The assistant understood what Smith meant. He reluctantly let go of the trophy, slowly took out his mobile phone, turned on the video function, and started filming Smith and the trophy.

Smith said to the camera: "Hello, friends from all over the world. I am Michael Smith, director of the Smith Institute in Bald Eagle Country. I lost the bet with Yang Chen, chairman of Dragon Country Sihai Group. I want to say sorry to Mr. Nobel, the Nobel Committee, and real scientific researchers around the world. I have to fulfill the bet and smash my two Nobel trophies."

Smith picked up the two trophies, looked at them reluctantly, and threw them to the floor...
