How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 547

547. All Submit to Starlight Technology. What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Not long after Yang Chen drove out, Mayor Chen called.

Mayor Chen: “Haha… President Yang, are you busy?”

Yang Chen: “I’m okay, what’s up?”

Mayor Chen: “It’s like this, the heads of several pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson have come to me, saying they want me to introduce them to meet you. They want to talk to you in person to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Yang Chen: “Misunderstandings? There won’t be any misunderstandings. Didn’t we issue a notice to remind them before? If they don’t make a clarification within 24 hours, we will assume they are allies of Merck and automatically start the alternative research program. Now Starlight Technology has already started the alternative drug research program for Pfizer, and it is impossible to stop it. So, it’s meaningless for them to meet me.”

Mayor Chen: “Ah? It’s already started!”

Yang Chen: “Can I joke with you about this? I have issued a notice to the whole world. If I can’t do what I say, what will I become? No one can stop our alternative research program. Just tell them directly that there is no need to meet me.”

Mayor Chen: “Oh well, I’ll tell them. Your actions are too fast, you just do it when you say you will.”

Yang Chen smiled and hung up the phone.

These so-called giants really have problems with their brains. When they were given opportunities, they all pretended to be dead. Now that the situation is not right, they want to reconcile. There is no such good thing.

Yang Chen logged into his DiDi [Chinese ride-hailing app] account to pick up passengers.

The DiDi system immediately pushed an order to him, and the departure point was only 200 meters away from him.

Yang Chen quickly grabbed the order and backed up to pick up the passenger.

It was a coincidence that the person who called the car was Zhang Daguo, who abandoned his wife and children to raise a son for someone else, and was then kicked out of the house.

When Zhang Daguo saw that it was Yang Chen’s car, he immediately got into the car angrily.

“What a coincidence, I actually got your car,” Zhang Daguo said with a chuckle.

Yang Chen: “It’s a bit of a coincidence. Uncle, you are quite fashionable; you even know how to use DiDi. Many old people your age don’t know how to use it at all.”

Zhang Daguo: “Don’t try to be friendly. Aren’t you President Yang? Do you think I dare to give you a bad review?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Uncle, do you think I’m afraid of you giving me a bad review?”

Zhang Daguo: “I don’t care if you’re afraid or not, I’m going to give you a bad review. Who told you to meddle in other people’s business and help that beast! Since you are a big boss, why don’t you have any compassion? Isn’t my current situation miserable enough? You still want to help that beast. If you didn’t help him, the mediator would have a way to force him to accept me back home. Now it’s all ruined by you, you deserve to die!”

Yang Chen: “Damn! Uncle, if you say that, I won’t be happy. No matter how miserable your current situation is, it’s all your own fault. Put your hand on your conscience and tell me, do you deserve to be supported by Zhang Qing after doing such a thing?”

Zhang Daguo: “No matter what, I am his biological father, he owes me his life, and he must support me.”

Yang Chen: “Then why don’t you go and ask the stepson you raised to support you? You raised a son for someone else for more than ten years, and now you want your biological son to support you when you need to retire. How can you be so shameless? I agree with the villagers’ opinion. If I were you, I would rather die than drag the stepson’s mother with me.”

Yang Chen: “I would never come back to harm my ex-wife and biological son. You abandoned your wife and children back then, which has already caused them great harm, and now you want to hurt them again. You say you are human? I can’t see where you look like a human.”

The uncle didn’t speak, but after a moment of silence, he muttered to himself: “Anyway, he is my son, and I am his father, he must support me, or he will be struck by lightning.”

In fact, it’s not that Zhang Daguo doesn’t understand those principles, it’s just that he doesn’t dare to understand them now.

Why?

He doesn’t want to die, and he doesn’t have the guts to kill, otherwise he wouldn’t have been kicked out of the house by his stepson.

He can only pretend to be confused and rely on his ex-wife and son, otherwise he will die.

Even if he becomes a homeless man, he doesn’t have the physical condition.

Even if he goes to a nursing home, he has no money, and no one will take him in.

Therefore, he can only go against his conscience and pretend not to understand those great principles, and he has to rely on his son to survive.

Yang Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and the two of them were quiet all the way.

More than half an hour later, Yang Chen took Zhang Daguo to a small hotel.

Looking at the appearance of this hotel, it is estimated that it costs no more than 50 yuan [approximately $7 USD] a day. It seems that he is really in trouble now.

However, this is not something Yang Chen should worry about. Everything he is suffering now is to atone for his past.

Yang Chen drove away, and not long after, a bad review came.

“Hehe… You are already such a rich person, but you don’t have any kindness. You are unrighteous for the rich, and you will not have a good end.”

Yang Chen hasn’t been affected by bad reviews for a long time. In the past, he would just laugh it off when he received bad reviews, after all, there were rewards to be had.

But this time he was really a little angry. Zhang Daguo was really disgusting.

At this time, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with a new process for replacing Pfizer’s entire line of drugs. For the convenience of the host, the new process will be delivered to the host’s Lakeside Island villa in paper form. Please pay attention to check it tomorrow morning.”

Well, I originally wanted to give Pfizer some time to resist, but now the system directly sentenced it to death.

It was getting late, so Yang Chen didn’t take any more orders and went to Tang Pavilion to have dinner with the employees of Starlight Investment.

On the other side, Mayor Chen replied to the representatives of Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and other pharmaceutical companies.

Starlight Investment has already launched a research program to replace Pfizer’s drugs. Yang Chen has made it clear that there is no need to meet, and no one can stop Starlight Technology’s alternative research program.

This scared Kang Hu, the president of Pfizer China, and he quickly called Albert Bourla, the president of headquarters.

Kang Hu: “Mr. Albert Bourla, it’s not good. Starlight Technology has already launched a research program to replace our company’s products. Yang Chen has given a clear reply that no one can stop their research program, and he won’t give me a chance to meet. He said that we were given a chance at the beginning, as long as we made a clarification within 24 hours of their announcement, it would be fine. But we chose to remain silent, and they assumed that we were allies of Merck and had already launched an alternative research program.”

Albert Bourla: “Fuck! Those idiots said that Starlight Technology couldn’t replace Merck’s entire line of products, and told us to wait and see. What should we do now?”

Kang Hu: “Mr. Albert Bourla, I think you should quickly

Kang Hu: “Call a high-level and shareholders meeting to discuss countermeasures. At worst, give Yang Chen more benefits, and we must not let them continue their research. They can research Merck’s alternative process, and they can definitely research our alternative process. Merck has already begun to withdraw from the Dragon Country market in an all-round way, and other markets are also completely defeated. We can’t follow in their footsteps.”

Albert Bourla immediately hung up the phone and ordered his secretary to notify senior executives and shareholders to come to headquarters for a meeting within three hours.

Those who can come to the scene must come, and those who cannot come to the scene will participate in the meeting via video.

Pfizer was in a state of emergency, and Johnson & Johnson and other companies were also very anxious.

However, the situation of Johnson & Johnson and other companies is relatively better. Starlight Technology has not yet launched an alternative research program for these companies.

They have missed one opportunity, and now they cannot miss the last chance to remedy it.

So, Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky personally called Yang Chen.

At this time, Yang Chen was having dinner with the employees of Starlight Technology.

Alex Gorsky had to make a long story short and said, “Johnson & Johnson is willing to compensate Mr. Yang personally with 100 million US dollars, and hopes that Mr. Yang will not conduct alternative research on our products. Is that okay?”

Yang Chen: “Do you think I would be interested in 100 million US dollars, or would I be more interested in driving you out of the Dragon Country market and even making it impossible for you to survive in the world?”

Alex Gorsky: “Mr. Yang, why bother to kill them all? You can set the conditions, as long as we can reconcile.”

Yang Chen: “The conditions I set may not be acceptable to you.”

Alex Gorsky: “Mr. Yang can try to set them out. How can we know if we can accept them without trying?”

Yang Chen: “I want you to compensate me personally with 1 billion US dollars. This money cannot be publicized. As for how you avoid investigation by the tax authorities, that is your business. In addition, you must issue an announcement stating that you will use 10 billion US dollars to exchange for Starlight Technology Group to stop the plan to develop alternative products for your company. Finally, when Enbo Pharmaceutical produces drugs to replace Merck and Pfizer in the future, Johnson & Johnson will be responsible for helping us open up the US and other national markets. As for how you open it up, that is your business. Of course, I won’t let you work for nothing, and I will give you a commission of 5% of sales as a reward. Think about it carefully. If you can accept all the conditions, I will order to stop the research on Johnson & Johnson products. If you can’t accept it all, then wait. The alternative technology for Pfizer Group is almost researched, and the next one is your Johnson & Johnson.”

Johnson & Johnson has made so much money around the world over the years that they probably don’t even know it themselves.

A mere 11 billion US dollars in compensation is nothing at all, at least they don’t care.

The problem is that Yang Chen asked Johnson & Johnson to issue an announcement to beg Starlight Technology for mercy, which is a bit too difficult.

Compared with money, the reputation of these international giants is more important.

Because reputation means credibility. If reputation is lost, it means credibility is lost. How can Johnson & Johnson continue to make money around the world in the future?

Alex Gorsky: “The first and third conditions proposed by Mr. Yang are fine, but the second condition is a bit too harsh. How about this, we give

(4)

Alex Gorsky: “Give Mr. Yang personally 1.5 billion US dollars and Starlight Technology Group 12 billion US dollars, but give it all quietly without issuing an announcement to let anyone know. Is that okay?”

It is equal to he wants to spend 2.5 billion US dollars more to buy Johnson & Johnson a decent way out.

Can Yang Chen be willing?

He doesn’t care about the money, he just wants face.

Yang Chen: “My conditions have already been set out. It’s up to you whether you accept them or not. Tomorrow we will announce the alternative technology for Pfizer’s new drugs for pharmaceutical factories and research teams around the world to verify, so that Mr. Alex Gorsky can witness our strength. We can quickly research what we want to research. Your time is limited, so don’t miss the last chance to save yourself. I’m having dinner here, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”

After speaking, Yang Chen hung up the phone.

Alex Gorsky looked sad and quickly convened directors, shareholders, and senior executives to discuss countermeasures together.

At the same time, Novartis, Roche and other pharmaceutical giants in Switzerland are also panicked.

Although they are not US pharmaceutical companies, they are worried about being “affected by the pond” [getting caught in the crossfire].

In order to avoid being accidentally injured, they quickly contacted Starlight Technology to show their goodwill.

In Yang Chen’s view, since he has already done it, he might as well clean up Roche, Novartis, etc. together.

It’s not that he must study the technology to replace the products of these pharmaceutical companies, the key is to set a rule for them, so that pharmaceutical companies all over the world must follow the lead of Starlight Technology and Enbo Pharmaceutical.

Therefore, Yang Chen sent orders to Starlight Technology and Enbo Pharmaceutical. If those foreign pharmaceutical companies want to protect themselves, they must show sincerity. Empty words will definitely not work.

Early in the morning, Yang Chen received more than a dozen large boxes delivered by SF Express [a Chinese courier company].

The boxes contained instructions for alternative technologies for Pfizer’s entire line of products.

Yang Chen randomly selected a box, took it to the Starlight Research Base, and handed it over to Dr. Wang Yunhai, the head of the life science research team.

According to Yang Chen’s request, Wang Yunhai immediately led the team to thoroughly understand these technologies, and then handed over the production technology to Enbo Pharmaceutical to produce samples.

After receiving the samples, Enbo Pharmaceutical announced the alternative technologies for several drugs according to Yang Chen’s request.

At this time, Pfizer Group was still holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the secretary said to Chairman Albert Bourla very uncomfortably: “Mr. Albert Bourla, I want to tell you a very bad news. Just now, news came from the Dragon Country that Enbo Pharmaceutical has announced the alternative technology for several of our new drugs and said that it has begun to produce samples for testing.”

Albert Bourla was shocked and said: “What? So fast! Only a month, and they already have results?”

The secretary: “Yes, and it is the alternative technology for 3 drugs. Now research teams and pharmaceutical factories all over the world have begun to experiment according to their technology. There is no time for us to hold meetings to study countermeasures. As the chairman, you must immediately make a decision on how to deal with it. If we continue to delay, we will end up like Merck.”

Albert Bourla sat down in the chair decadently. After a few seconds of sadness, he angrily slapped the table and roared: “It’s all Merck’s fault. They dragged us into the water and harmed us!”

After speaking, Albert Bourla called Merck Chairman Kenneth Frazier.

Kenneth Frazier was now overwhelmed by the group’s all-round defeat.

(5)

When he received Albert Bourla’s call, he greeted him without much thought.

Albert Bourla immediately opened his mouth and cursed: “Fuck! It’s all your fault! Why did you bring us in on the grudges between you and Yang Chen? Now Yang Chen has announced the new technology to replace our company’s drugs, and we are now facing the same dilemma as you. Fuck!”

Kenneth Frazier: “Albert Bourla, I can only say I’m very sorry, we didn’t expect things to develop to this point. Didn’t you also not believe that they had such ability and could develop alternative technologies so quickly? Otherwise, you would have issued an announcement to clarify it long ago, wouldn’t you? You also made a wrong judgment, so you can’t blame us for all the responsibility.”

Albert Bourla: “But if you didn’t say that we Pfizer are your allies, he wouldn’t have included us either! Isn’t the culprit still you?”

Kenneth Frazier: “Okay, I admit it, but we have always stood on the same front, haven’t we? It’s just that we underestimated the strength of our opponent this time. I’m already overwhelmed by Merck’s all-round defeat, and I really don’t have time to listen to your complaints. Find a way to deal with it yourself, I’m hanging up.”

Albert Bourla angrily smashed his phone and greeted Kenneth Frazier’s family in front of the directors, shareholders, and senior executives [cursed at Kenneth Frazier’s family].

After venting, Albert Bourla said weakly: “Let’s not discuss it anymore, there can be no results if we continue to discuss it. It is because we cannot unify our opinions that we missed the best opportunity. Now I can no longer listen to your opinions. I, in the name of Pfizer Chairman and representative of major shareholders, officially announce unconditional surrender to Starlight Technology and Yang Chen. As long as they are willing to stop, I will accept any conditions they offer. They have already announced the alternative technology for three of our new drugs. If we continue to delay, we will suffer an all-round defeat like Merck, and there will be no chance.”

“Ah? How could they research so quickly?”

“Did they get help from aliens? Otherwise, how could they have results in just one month?”

“Yes! If drug research and development were so easy, they would have achieved complete domestic production of all drugs long ago, so how could we have harvested them for so many years?”

“Is there a fraud? Let’s study the effectiveness of the new technology they announced first.”

…

Hearing that some people still had wishful thinking, Albert Bourla immediately reprimanded: “Listen, I don’t want to hear any more words about waiting and seeing. My decision is the final decision, and anyone who disagrees must hold it back. I will call Yang Chen in front of everyone now, and everyone will listen to his conditions together.”

After several twists and turns, Albert Bourla contacted Yang Chen.

Time was tight, and Albert Bourla didn’t waste any time. He went straight to the point and asked Yang Chen what conditions he wanted to stop.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: “Other pharmaceutical companies have opportunities, but you Pfizer have no chance. Your entire line of products has been conquered by us, and we will slowly release them for everyone to verify in the future.”

Albert Bourla: “Impossible! How could you have researched the alternative technology for so many drugs in just one month? You must be lying, this is not something humans can accomplish.”

Yang Chen: “Do you know why other companies still have the opportunity to surrender, but you don’t?

(6)

Yang Chen: “It is your blind self-confidence and your contempt for us that led you to lose your last chance. Enbo Pharmaceutical must rise in the world, and old pharmaceutical companies must withdraw to make room for us. Unfortunately, Pfizer and Merck have been selected by me, and you must join hands to withdraw from the stage of history and hand over the market to Enbo Pharmaceutical.”

Albert Bourla: “Do you think you can replace us like this? Do you know what capital is behind us? If you really push us, we can ask the US government to come forward and see which countries dare to use Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products. If you don’t believe it, we can wait and see.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, then we’ll wait and see. Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”

Yang Chen hung up the phone, and the Pfizer Group conference room was silent.

Yang Chen has made it clear that he wants Pfizer and Merck to make room for Enbo Pharmaceutical, which means there is no room for negotiation.

There was no way, they could only ask the US government to come forward and ban Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products from entering the US market, and call on allies to ban Enbo Pharmaceutical from entering.

This is the only way they can survive, even if it is not glorious, they must use it.

Of course, Yang Chen could have expected that they would use this trick.

A new announcement from Starlight Technology Group came out.

“Our company advocates free competition and welcomes colleagues from all over the world to compete freely with our company. However, when faced with unfair treatment, our company will definitely fight back. We have received news that some countries are preparing to ban Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products from entering the market. Our company hereby declares that any country or region that dares to ban Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products from entering the market, our company will recommend that Loongson International [a Chinese chip manufacturer] cut off the supply of quantum chips to the corresponding market. In other words, the market with quantum chips must have Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products. Otherwise, don’t want both. In addition, our company will launch an alternative research program for those markets that prohibit Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products from entering. We will select the products of the largest companies in various industries in the market for alternative research. We hope that no company will follow in the footsteps of Merck and Pfizer. This announcement is permanently valid.”

Wow, this announcement directly gave Pfizer and Merck and other companies a fatal blow.

Pfizer Chairman Albert Bourla and Merck Chairman Kenneth Frazier just wanted to contact other friendly companies to seek help from Congress, but this announcement directly cut off their thoughts.

Johnson & Johnson Chairman Alex Gorsky did not dare to delay any longer and immediately called Yang Chen to express his acceptance of all conditions.

Subsequently, Johnson & Johnson raised money through its branches in various countries around the world and transferred 1 billion US dollars to Yang Chen’s accounts in dozens of countries.

Then, it transferred 10 billion US dollars from its headquarters to Starlight Technology and issued an announcement stating that it would use the 10 billion US dollars to exchange for Starlight Technology to stop the alternative research program and become Enbo Pharmaceutical’s global promoter.

Note that they are promoters, not agents. They only have the qualifications to promote Enbo Pharmaceutical’s products, but no agency rights. Don’t mention how miserable they are.

Subsequently, Novartis, Roche and other pharmaceutical companies actively followed up and spent money to buy peace.

Novartis gave 5 billion US dollars in exchange for Starlight Technology not to conduct alternative research on them, and also became Enbo Pharmaceutical’s global

(7)

Promoter within the scope.

Roche gave 3 billion US dollars, as well as AbbVie, Bayer, etc., gave 1-5 billion US dollars in surrender money, in exchange for Starlight Technology’s promise not to conduct alternative research on these companies permanently.

Yang Chen is also a particular person. He only wants Pfizer and Merck to make room for Enbo Pharmaceutical, and other pharmaceutical companies will continue to retain them for conscientious competition.

Starlight Technology received the surrender money from those pharmaceutical companies and issued an announcement very carefully.

“As our company’s previous announcement stated, our company advocates free competition and welcomes colleagues to conduct fair competition. Our company has indeed received the sincerity money from many international pharmaceutical companies. Our company hereby promises to the people of the world that it will never conduct alternative research on pharmaceutical companies that have already paid the sincerity money. If this promise is violated, our company is willing to accept any punishment. Finally, we call for free and fair competition. Everyone relies on their abilities to make a living and does not engage in hegemonism. We hope that all pharmaceutical colleagues will work together to contribute to the health and safety of all mankind.”

As soon as this announcement came out, the “surviving” pharmaceutical companies were finally relieved.

The people of Dragon Country were jubilant, and netizens left messages and comments under Starlight Technology’s announcement to express their excitement.

“Awesome! I am completely conquered by Boss Yang’s operation!”

“Haha… So many giants are ceding land and paying compensation, it’s so relieving. We have been angry for more than a hundred years, and we have finally stood up again.”

“Pfizer, Merck: Boss Yang, let’s sing a song of conquest for you together. Just be conquered by you like this, cutting off all retreats…”

“If God does not give birth to Yang Chen, the ages will be like a long night, which is what Boss Yang said [a humorous adaptation of a famous quote].”

“Boss Yang is sent by God to rectify the world order. Dragon Country is about to achieve a real rise as a great power.”

…

Such a big event naturally caused an uproar around the world.

Foreign netizens are also hotly discussing on international social platforms such as Twitter and YouTube.

A netizen from the United States: “Fuck! Can anyone tell me what kind of freak this Yang Chen is? Why does he know everything? Why can they research so many results in such a short period of time? It feels like he only spent one month to complete what Dragon Country has failed to complete in the past 100 years. It’s so amazing, is he possessed by God?”

A netizen from Mao Xiong [a nickname for Russia]: “Oh, our dear Dragon Country friends, you are so amazing. Fortunately, we are good friends with Dragon Country, and we are not afraid of being targeted by Boss Yang. Haha… However, are some people in some countries going to be unable to sleep?”

An A San [a derogatory term for people from India] netizen: “These are not problems. As we all know, our country’s pharmaceutical industry is the most developed in the world. Any new technology is nothing to us and can be cracked in minutes. Friends who want to buy Enbo Pharmaceutical products can come to our country to buy them, the price is cheaper.”

A netizen from the island country [a reference to Japan]: “Daddy, save me. Oh, I’m sorry, Daddy seems to be unable to take care of himself. Crying…”
