How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 508

Artificial Rain and Cloud Seeding Experiments Successful

Wang Jiayi was adjusting the system inventory at the cashier when Yang Chen approached and said, “Which one of you is the store manager? I want the store manager to serve me.”

Hearing the voice she had been longing for, Wang Jiayi suddenly looked up, trying not to laugh, and looked at Yang Chen very adorably.

The shop assistant next to her didn’t recognize Yang Chen and said, “Handsome, let me help you. Our store manager is busy ordering goods and won’t be free for a while.”

Wang Jiayi said to her assistant, “Xiao Rong, you take care of it. Handsome, let’s chat in our VIP lounge.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Let’s go.”

Yang Chen followed Wang Jiayi to the VIP lounge.

As soon as they entered, Wang Jiayi immediately locked the door and jumped onto Yang Chen, saying, “When did you get back?”

Yang Chen: “I’ve been back for a while.”

Wang Jiayi: “You’ve been back for a while, and you’re only coming to see me now? You must have a lot of vixens [seductive women] outside. It took you so long to get to me, your old wife.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Stop it. I have important work to do this time. I’ll have time to play after I’m done. Look what I brought you.”

Yang Chen handed the script for “Nothing But Thirty” to Wang Jiayi.

Wang Jiayi opened the script and said, “What is this? A script?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! I think the female lead, Wang Manni, is very similar to your life. I specially bought it to make a TV series, and you can play Wang Manni as yourself. What do you think?”

Wang Jiayi looked shocked, her heart beating faster.

“Stop it, what are you joking about? I’m just a salesperson, how can I act well in a TV series?” Wang Jiayi said nervously, but her eyes clearly showed some anticipation.

Yang Chen: “You don’t need to act. You just need to recreate your previous life experiences and feelings. I remember the first time I met you, you said you earned 10,000 a month and spent 7,000 on rent because the apartment had a balcony where you could enjoy the night view of the Pearl Tower. Right?”

Wang Jiayi nodded.

Yang Chen: “Isn’t that a coincidence? The main character, Wang Manni, is exactly like you. She also earns 10,000 and spends 7,000 on rent because the apartment has a balcony. She likes to enjoy the sunset and night view on the balcony. Do you think you need to act? You just need to recreate your past life experiences, just to find some old memories.”

Wang Jiayi carefully read the character introduction of Wang Manni and felt more and more that she was Wang Manni.

“Who will play the other two roles?” Wang Jiayi asked.

Yang Chen: “You choose. It’s up to you. This drama is mainly about you. Whichever star you want to work with, I will invite them for you. However, you have to choose someone of the right age, around 30 years old. Also, they should have good character and conduct. Don’t look for those with a bad reputation or even a bad history.”

Wang Jiayi: “Hehe… I’d better not choose. You guys choose. Then I’m really going to play this role. If I mess it up, you can’t blame me, and it can’t affect our relationship.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Don’t worry, even if all the invested money is lost, I won’t be angry, and it won’t affect our relationship. I have so much money that I can’t spend it all even if I started spending it from the beginning of time. Do I care about that little bit of money?”

Wang Jiayi kissed Yang Chen and said, “My husband is the best! Then I’ll keep this script. I’ll first figure out how to recreate my original life.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, keep it. It’s time for lunch, let’s go eat.”

Wang Jiayi nodded and quickly put the script in her closet, then took Yang Chen’s arm and went out to eat.

Just as the dishes they ordered were served, Yang Zhen called Yang Chen.

Yang Zhen: “Mr. Yang, Baoli Cinema has removed all the works our company invested in nationwide, only retaining the screenings of ‘The Chinese Pilot,’ but giving it less than 10% of the screenings.”

Yang Chen: “Are they so bold? They dare to touch even the main theme movie [a movie promoting the values of the ruling party]?”

Yang Zhen: “I communicated with the president of Baoli Film and Television. He meant that you understand why. It’s useless to talk to him. It’s the headquarters’ intention. They want you to talk to the headquarters.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, I got it. I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Yang Zhen: “Okay.”

Yang Chen hung up the phone and edited a message to send to a few specific friends.

After that, he happily ate with Wang Jiayi.

Half an hour later, Xingchen Entertainment took the lead in issuing an announcement.

“Due to Baoli Cinema’s unwarranted removal of all works invested by our company and a substantial reduction in the screenings of the main theme movie ‘The Chinese Pilot,’ after sincere communication and friendly consultation to no avail, our company officially announces the termination of all cooperation with Baoli Film and Television. At the same time, our company will no longer participate in the investment of all works cooperating with Baoli Film and Television, and will reduce cooperation with enterprises and individuals cooperating with Baoli Film and Television, and even directly cancel all cooperation.”

Next, Yida Film and Television took the lead in issuing an announcement.

“After research and decision by the group’s senior management, Yida Cinemas will remove all movies invested by Baoli Film and Television from today. We will announce new decisions in a timely manner.”

Subsequently, Xingchen Technology Group also issued an announcement.

“After research and decision by the group’s senior management, all scientific research results of Xingchen Technology Group will be refused to supply to all products under Baoli Group. We hope that relevant departments can respect the scientific research labor of Xingchen Technology and immediately stop supplying the quantum chips required for all equipment of Baoli Technology Group. Our company will be very grateful and will continue to donate new scientific research results to the country free of charge. If our company cannot make a strong resistance to bullying behavior, we will no longer selflessly donate any scientific research results.”

Next, Haicheng Jinjiang Development Group (a real estate development company jointly established by Yang Chen and Xue Yinong) also issued an announcement.

“After research and decision by the group’s senior management, the commercial district project in Jiading North District, which is cooperating with Baoli Real Estate, will be terminated immediately. According to the cooperation agreement between the two parties, our company will return the 30 billion yuan invested by Baoli Real Estate, and there will be no further business dealings between the two parties.”

Next, several art companies in Haicheng, including the Lin family, Zhao family, Liu family, and Xue family, which have a good relationship with Yang Chen, jointly issued an announcement, announcing the termination of cooperation with Baoli Art Trading Company from today and urging Baoli to return the artworks they have deposited as soon as possible.

At the same time, they also called on relevant enterprises and individuals cooperating with them to refuse to cooperate with Baoli Art Company, otherwise they can only actively terminate the cooperation relationship between the two parties.

As mentioned earlier, Lin Zhengtian of the Lin family is an authoritative expert in the antique art industry.

Whether a good price can be sold depends on whether Lin Zhengtian, Zhao Jingzhong and others can give a high evaluation.

To put it more exaggeratedly, whether an antique is genuine or not is up to them.

Therefore, the statements of the Lin family and the Zhao family are particularly useful, and people in the industry must give them face.

Without the cooperation of Baoli Art Company, they can cooperate with Christie’s, Sotheby’s and other internationally renowned companies.

But without the help of Lin Zhengtian and Zhao Jingzhong, they would not be able to sell at a high price.

Everyone knows how to choose.

Is that all?

Of course not.

Tang’s Group then issued an announcement suspending cooperation projects with Baoli Mining Group, including two gold mines and three coal mine projects.

Subsequently, Zijin Mining and other groups with Xingchen Investment holding more than 20% of the shares also issued announcements suspending cooperation projects with Baoli Mining Group.

At this point, Baoli Group’s real estate, art, civil and military equipment, minerals, film and television and other major industries were all blacklisted by the Xingchen system.

Baoli Group doesn’t have to be afraid of being blacklisted in other industries.

But!

Once the chip sector is blacklisted, it will have a huge impact.

More than 90% of the products that Baoli Technology Group has already received orders for require the use of quantum chips.

Although Xingchen Technology only retains 49% of the dividend rights, the quantum chip is, after all, donated to the country by Xingchen Technology, and new scientific research results will continue to emerge. Relevant departments will definitely consider Yang Chen’s feelings, otherwise, will they still want to obtain other scientific research results from Xingchen Technology like the quantum chip?

At this time, Baoli Group is holding a board-level video conference.

Kang Lei, chairman of Baoli Film and Television Group, said unhappily: “Chairman Xu, I have been advising you not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive, but you insisted on me banning Xingchen Entertainment’s works. Look, now you have been retaliated against.”

Zhang Yuanhua, chairman of Baoli Art Company: “This is completely an unprovoked disaster. I was sitting in the office, and the pot fell from the sky [an idiom for being wrongly blamed]. Lin Zhengtian and Zhao Jingzhong have a great influence. Their joint non-cooperation with us will lead a considerable number of customers to no longer cooperate with us. If this continues, my net profit at the end of the year will drop by at least 30% compared to last year. Next year will be even worse, and more and more customers will leave us.”

Li Chenglong, chairman of Baoli Mining Group: “Don’t mention it, several mining areas have been shut down, and they have put all the responsibility on me, saying that I have damaged the friendly cooperative relationship between the two parties, and I will bear all the consequences. Who did I offend? So many projects have been shut down for me at once.”

Wang Zhouqing, chairman of Baoli Real Estate Group: “Our commercial district project in Jiading North District, which is cooperating with Haicheng Jinjiang Development, has also been suspended, and the 30 billion yuan we invested will be returned. However, all losses incurred during the shutdown will be deducted from the 30 billion yuan. It was stipulated in the cooperation agreement that whichever party causes the shutdown, that party will bear the losses and consequences. At that time, I thought it was just an impossible clause, but I didn’t expect it to be punished now. Who can I reason with?”

Only Zhang Yulong, chairman of Baoli Technology Group, and Xu Jun, chairman of the group headquarters, did not speak. Both of them lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at the camera.

But things have already happened, and it’s not a solution to not speak.

Xu Jun was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: “Damn it, I just don’t accept it! Why can his private enterprise fight against our state-owned enterprise? How has Baoli suffered this kind of anger for so many years? Even the two Ma [referring to Jack Ma and Pony Ma, founders of Alibaba and Tencent respectively] always have to be polite when they see you, let alone me. Why doesn’t Yang Chen give us any face? I don’t necessarily want to do anything to him, I just want him to say something soft to me, that’s all. Is my request too much?”

Several subsidiary chairmen sighed softly and did not speak.

The truth is such that, looking at the entire Dragon Kingdom, which private enterprise boss dares not to give Baoli face?

But now Yang Chen just doesn’t give face, so what can you do to him?

It’s not a wise choice to keep fighting him like this for the sake of so-called face.

Xu Jun calmed down and continued: “Originally, I just wanted to test Yang Chen’s reaction and put a little pressure on him. Who knew that his reaction would be so violent that he would just go all in. However, it’s not a big problem, the above will definitely mediate us. Everyone should be patient, and it will return to normal soon. Even if no one mediates, these businesses will not have much impact on us. And I don’t believe that the above will really cut off the supply of chips. Since Xingchen Technology has already donated the chips, their words don’t count. As long as our civil and military equipment business is not affected, the Baoli brand will not fall, and Yang Chen will not be able to do anything to us!”

Zhang Yulong: “Yes, yes, Chairman Xu is right. He still wants to interfere with things that have been donated? Isn’t that a joke?”

The other branch chairmen were all speechless. Some things may not sound good, but for the sake of their respective interests, they still have to say them.

Wang Zhouqing, chairman of Baoli Real Estate: “Excuse me, I don’t think there was much of a problem in the first place, so why bother arguing with Yang Chen to the end? Wang Wei and his son did commit crimes, this is an ironclad fact, why should the responsibility be transferred to Yang Chen’s head without thinking? As for Chairman Zhang’s daughter, she did wrong others and said dirty words to Yang Chen, shouldn’t she apologize? We are a state-owned enterprise, and we are used to being arrogant. Everyone has to give us face, I understand this. But it also depends on who the other party is. The other party is Yang Chen, what good is it to argue with him? The best outcome is a lose-lose situation, why do we still want to do this?”

Zhang Yulong immediately retorted: “Chairman Wang, it’s not interesting for you to say that. When has Baoli been bullied by others? Even if someone in our group really makes a mistake, it’s our internal matter, what qualifications does he have to interfere, or even blatantly use personal relationships to interfere?”

Li Chenglong, chairman of Baoli Mining Group: “Chairman Zhang, you can’t say that. If Wang Wei’s son Wang Qiang hadn’t provoked Yang Chen several times, would he have intervened? If someone provokes you, wouldn’t you intervene to prevent them from going through the back door? You provoke others first, and they retaliate against you within their ability, and you don’t want to, then why did you provoke them in the first place?”

The chairman of Baoli Film and Television and the chairman of Baoli Art Company nodded in agreement.

Obviously, from the attitudes of the chairmen of each branch, it can be seen that there are serious differences within them, and other branches do not want to pay for the troubles of Baoli Technology Group.

Xu Jun angrily slapped the table and said: “Enough! Nothing has happened yet, and we are already in chaos internally. If Yang Chen really fights us to the death for a long time, will you defect soon? I gave the order, and I will be the first to bear any consequences, what are you afraid of? Dismiss the meeting, go do what you have to do!”

After speaking, Xu Jun was the first to exit the video conference.

Xu Jun was still scolding Yang Chen for reacting too much. His original intention was to harass him, but Yang Chen directly went all in, causing the current situation to be a bit beyond his expectations and control.

Now the entire internet knows that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Xingchen system and the Baoli system. In order to eliminate the negative impact, we must find a way to quell the public opinion as soon as possible, otherwise the above will soon intervene.

Yang Chen is the passive counterattack party and will definitely not take the initiative to eliminate the impact. Now it depends on how Xu Jun operates to eliminate the impact.

At this time, netizens are leaving comments under related news.

“I went, Mr. Yang has been a bit hot recently, is he a bit overwhelmed, fighting hard with Baoli?”

“I heard that the cause was that Baoli Film and Television removed Xingchen Entertainment’s works, and even compressed the screenings of the main theme movie ‘The Chinese Pilot’ from 60% to less than 10%. Mr. Yang is also a ruthless person, he directly overturned the table and terminated all direct or indirect cooperation with Baoli.”

“What you said is still not right, the cause was that the son of the former chairman of Baoli Technology Group provoked Mr. Yang, this is the reason why Mr. Yang and the Baoli system became enemies. Zhang Chengcheng, who issued an apology announcement a few days ago, is the daughter of the new chairman of Baoli Technology Group. The conflict between the two sides has deepened. Mr. Yang is also not willing to suffer losses, even if the other party is Baoli, he chooses to fight to the end.”

“I didn’t know it until I saw it, but I was shocked when I saw it. Mr. Yang actually directly and indirectly controls so many industries. This strength is not inferior to Baoli Group at all. I don’t know who will give in first, it’s really a wonderful drama.”

“I think Mr. Yang is definitely not Baoli Group’s opponent. The nature and status of the two sides are completely different. I admit that Mr. Yang is a genius, but a genius must also obey status and identity. Watch, this dispute will definitely end with the Xingchen system giving in and admitting defeat.”

…

Early in the morning, just as Yang Chen woke up from Wang Jiayi’s bed, Qiu Yuhong called.

Qiu Yuhong: “Mr. Yang, haha… good news, according to your instructions, Xingchen Machinery Factory has already produced artificial rain bombs and artificial cloud machines. Currently, wind and electricity generating equipment is being prepared for trial production, and I believe there will be results soon. The machinery factory is going to do experiments at sea today to see how the equipment works.”

Yang Chen: “Good job, I’ve been waiting for this. That’s right, I’ll drive my Xingchen yacht to take them out to sea for experiments later.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Okay! Then I’ll go over and take a look, and by the way, experience Mr. Yang’s Xingchen.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Okay! Then I’ll see you at the pier later, hang up.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen jumped out of bed excitedly.

Wang Jiayi, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, poked her head out and shouted: “What’s the matter? So happy.”

Yang Chen: “Xingchen Machinery Factory is very competitive, and they have developed what I want so quickly. I’m going out to sea later, do you want to come with me?”

Wang Jiayi: “If it’s convenient, I want to go with you.”

Yang Chen: “It’s convenient, just don’t interfere with their work. Hurry up, we have to go to the pier, it’s more than an hour’s drive.”

Wang Jiayi nodded and sped up her brushing.

When Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi arrived at the pier, Qiu Yuhong was already waiting with Zhao He, the director of Xingchen Machinery Factory, and the engineers.

Qiu Yuhong took Zhao He forward to greet Yang Chen.

Qiu Yuhong: “Mr. Yang, you’re here. Hello, Miss Wang.”

Wang Jiayi: “Huh? You know me?”

Qiu Yuhong: “Haha… I know you. We have bodyguards who are responsible for protecting Miss Wang’s work every day, but you just don’t know it.”

Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen in shock, not expecting that this guy had arranged bodyguards for her.

“If you’re good to me, you have to let me know, otherwise you’re just paying for nothing,” Wang Jiayi said with a smile.

Yang Chen: “I just like to pay silently, and then suddenly amaze you one day.”

Wang Jiayi covered her mouth and smiled, then stood on tiptoe and gave him a deep kiss.

Qiu Yuhong was old and felt quite embarrassed watching.

The engineers began to move equipment onto the yacht.

Zhao He, the director of Xingchen Machinery Factory, directed while reminding: “Everyone must be careful, don’t scratch Mr. Yang’s yacht. Crane operator, be slow, understand?”

Everyone nodded while working.

Soon, all the equipment was on the yacht.

Yang Chen came to the cockpit and started the yacht to leave the port.

Last time, Yang Chen was yachting in Sanya Bay and accidentally drove into international waters, mistakenly thinking that Vietnamese fishermen had entered the Dragon Kingdom’s sea to fish, and almost hit them.

This time, he has to be careful and not cause any misunderstandings.

After driving 100 kilometers, Yang Chen stopped the yacht.

“Let’s do the experiment here,” Yang Chen said loudly.

Qiu Yuhong: “Okay. Everyone prepare, let’s do the experiment here.”

The engineers who were enjoying the sea view quickly cheered up and got to work.

Soon, the artificial rain bomb launch was ready.

The cost of an ordinary artificial rain bomb is about 4,000 yuan each, and about 6-8 are launched for each artificial rain.

If the aircraft launch mode is adopted, plus the cost of ground labor, the cost of an aircraft artificial rain is about 100,000 yuan.

The cost of the new artificial rain bomb produced by Xingchen Machinery Factory is about 8,000 yuan, but only one is needed to cover a normal-sized natural village and the land in the village, which can be said to be quite powerful.

Like when the drought was severe some time ago, which caused many farmers to plant rice that withered and died, with an average yield reduction of more than 40%. A village can raise money to buy one and put it on the most drought-stricken time to avoid this loss.

The most powerful thing about this artificial rain bomb produced by Xingchen Machinery Factory is not its rain-making ability, but its controllability and stealth function.

Yang Chen specially chose to do the experiment 100 kilometers away from Haicheng.

Just to test whether the stealth ability of the rain bomb is good or not.

Launching an artificial rain bomb into the air here, theoretically, the Dragon Kingdom’s CNMD [Chinese National Missile Defense] air defense system and the stick country’s [derogatory term for South Korea] THAAD [Terminal High Altitude Area Defense] air defense system should be able to detect it.

After launching, I will fish here to pass the time and see if there are any relevant coast guard ships coming over.

Under the command of the chief engineer, an artificial rain bomb was launched towards the clouds in the sky.

The engineer is holding a small tablet with a red dot flying towards the clouds.

The engineer controls the artificial rain bomb to change its orbit. After continuous orbit changes, it returns to its original flight path and hits the predetermined position.

The artificial rain bomb exploded successfully in the clouds, and the engineer reported: “Mr. Yang, the launch was successful. It will rain in about 30-40 minutes.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Everyone is free to move around. There are fishing rods and swimming and diving equipment in the warehouse below. Those who are capable can play. Those who haven’t played before should not play to avoid accidents.”

Everyone immediately took action, ran to get fishing rods and other equipment, and enjoyed the sea time.

After about ten minutes, the sky obviously darkened.

The engineer is recording the changes in the sky for future research.

After another ten minutes, raindrops fell.

The engineer shouted: “Mr. Yang, it’s raining.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Everyone has worked hard.”

The rain became heavier and heavier, with the momentum of a summer thunderstorm.

The rain lasted for more than half an hour and gradually stopped, and the sky in this area was also sunny, as if it had not rained just now.

Wang Jiayi suddenly pointed to the sky and said: “Look, a rainbow.”

Yang Chen: “It’s really a rainbow.”

Wang Jiayi smiled happily and quickly took out her mobile phone to take pictures of the rainbow.

The engineers also took out their mobile phones to record this beautiful scene.

After watching the rainbow, the engineers became busy again.

Now there are no clouds in the sky.

The reason why many places are so dry that the lake water is dry and the crops are dead, and everyone can’t do anything about it, is that there are no clouds in the sky, and artificial rain can’t be done.

Therefore, Yang Chen prepared artificial clouds for this extreme weather situation.

High concentration is cloud, low concentration is fog, this is the key point that the system reminds can be used for “military purposes”.

Assuming that on a battlefield, the sky was originally clear, and the enemy launched an attack. Suddenly, the sky was filled with fog and clouds, and our side had prepared combat equipment adapted to this weather in advance, while the local area was not prepared at all. At this time, our side’s advantage came out instantly.

However, these are all later stories. Xingchen Defense will only promote and sell it as civilian equipment for the time being.

As for whether the buyer will modify it into military equipment, that is the customer’s own problem and has nothing to do with Xingchen Defense Group.

The cloud machine is ready, and thick white smoke is coming out of the cloud machine.

The density of the white smoke is relatively low, and it starts to float upwards quickly. During the process, it will continuously absorb moisture and impurities, and finally condense into large clouds at an altitude of 4500-5000 meters. This process takes about 1.5-2 hours.

There is still a lot of time, everyone eat lunch first, and after eating, you can take a nap.

Then invest in research.

At this time, the relevant testing departments of the Dragon Kingdom, South Korea, and North Korea all discovered that clouds suddenly appeared here.

But they didn’t expect that this was an artificially created cloud, but just regarded it as an ordinary naturally formed cloud.

Two hours passed quickly, and the engineers prepared to launch artificial rain bombs again to test the rain-making effect of artificial clouds.

The artificial rain bomb was launched into the air, and everyone continued to fish to pass the time.

Half an hour later, it rained heavily again.

This time the rain was a little smaller than the last time, which means that the water content of artificially created clouds is different from that of naturally formed cumulonimbus clouds.

But!

Artificial cloud making can control the water content and density, these are not problems.

The main thing now is to test whether the equipment is effective, and the difference in precipitation between clouds of different meters can be tested slowly in the future.

After about twenty minutes, the heavy rain stopped, and the sky suddenly cleared again, restoring the sunny weather.

At this time, the relevant testing departments of the Dragon Kingdom, South Korea, and North Korea became suspicious.

Eh?

That’s not right.

Why did these clouds gather so quickly and disappear so quickly?

However, they still did not think that someone was testing artificial rain.

Although they felt a little strange, they didn’t pay much attention to it.

On the Xingchen.

Engineer: “Mr. Yang, our experiment is completed, please instruct.”

Yang Chen: “Everyone has worked hard. It’s two o’clock in the afternoon now, let’s wait here until five o’clock to see if anyone comes to check. Everyone can play as they please, and the wine in the wine cellar can be taken out to drink, just as a reward for everyone.”

The engineers cheered immediately and ran down to get the wine to drink.
