How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 511

My Cousin is Being Bullied—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Zhao He called Yang Chen and reported the situation on the ground, including the requests from the Dragon Academy of Sciences and CNMD [China National Missile Defense] to meet with him.

Yang Chen was very clear-headed. This kind of technology couldn’t be “swallowed” by him alone. He would inevitably have to cooperate with relevant units and departments. This was the case in any country. What he had to do was to fight for more benefits for himself as much as possible.

Yang Chen: “Tell them to go to the conference room at the Star Defense headquarters at 10 a.m. tomorrow to talk.”

Zhao He: “Okay, I understand.”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao He quickly conveyed Yang Chen’s meaning to the people from the Dragon Academy of Sciences and CNMD.

The heads of the two units nodded and then left the scene.

The sky had completely darkened, and today’s live broadcast should also end.

Gao Xin Yi said to the camera: “Thank you, everyone, for your company. Today’s live broadcast will end here. Finally, I want to emphasize to everyone that we are making civilian equipment for solving abnormal climate problems such as drought. Our original intention in designing it does not include other uses. If it is subsequently discovered that someone uses our products for other purposes, it must be that they have modified it privately, which has nothing to do with us. If any consequences arise, the modifier will bear it themselves, which has nothing to do with us. Okay, thank you all for your company. Today’s sales live broadcast ends here. Thank you, everyone. Goodbye.”

The live broadcast was over, but the impact it brought had just begun.

Just after 8 p.m., the top spots on the trending lists of major platforms were taken over by Star Defense.

“Rain bombs ignore air defense systems,” “Star Defense’s artificial rain bombs have guided warheads,” “Range of 300 kilometers, error of 1700 kilometers,” “Star Express, global delivery,” “Boss Yang is awesome,” and other topics attracted heated discussions among hundreds of millions of netizens.

“I watched it all day, and I feel like I didn’t waste a second. It’s really great value. With Star Defense’s rain bombs, global drought problems can be solved.”

“I’m laughing to death. An artificial rain bomb has stealth capabilities and a guided warhead, with a maximum range of over 18,000 kilometers. Haha… If I didn’t say this was an artificial rain bomb, you would definitely think it was an intercontinental missile.”

“Boss Yang is awesome; he can research this kind of thing. The artificial rain bomb is powerful, and that cloud-making machine is also amazing. It feels very practical to use in the Big Bear [Russia] and Second Bear [Ukraine] countries. Whoever can buy this equipment can take the initiative. The opportunity to change the battle situation has come; it depends on whether both sides can seize the opportunity.”

“I hope Boss Yang can continue to improve the equipment, and I also hope that he can cooperate with the country to use the relevant technology in our military as soon as possible. Especially the stealth material that can evade CNMD and THAAD [Terminal High Altitude Area Defense], it is of great help to us.”

……

At the same time, compilations of Gao Xin Yi’s live broadcast also circulated on international platforms such as YouTube.

After watching it, foreign netizens left comments expressing their envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Indian netizens: “Impossible! Why are you showing us special effects? As the third strongest military power in the world, we haven’t researched such a product. How could Dragon Country [China] research it? Our Mengmai’s [Mumbai’s] level of development

My Cousin is Being Bullied—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (2)

is 20 years ahead of their Hai City [Shanghai]. Do they have the money to research these things? What’s more, it’s still a private company.”

Korean netizens: “If what’s in the video is real, then aren’t we very dangerous? THAAD is completely useless and cannot capture their new missiles and planes. What exactly is the Rice Country [United States] doing? We spend so much money every year hiring them as bodyguards; what are they spending this money on? Why haven’t they researched more advanced stealth materials?”

Island Country [Japan] netizens: “Daddy, save me.”

Rice Country [United States] netizens: “It’s really incredible that an artificial rain bomb actually has stealth capabilities and a guided warhead, with a maximum range of over 18,000 kilometers. It can reach any corner of the world from any location in Dragon Country [China]. What if they improve this to become an intercontinental missile?”

Big Bear Country [Russia] netizens: “Oh, our friends in Dragon Country [China] did a great job. Congratulations to Dragon Country’s technology for achieving a world-leading position. With such products, at least it can guarantee Dragon Country’s safety for the next 30-50 years. If anyone dares to provoke them, just give them artificial rain. Haha…”

Eagle Country [United Kingdom] netizens: “Today I learned a new sentence called ‘Star Express, global delivery.’ I hope people all over the world can learn this sentence and deeply understand its meaning.”

……

At 10 p.m. Dragon Country [China] time in Capital City [Beijing], the Rice Country’s [United States’] Northrop Grumman officially unveiled their newly produced B21 bomber.

According to the company’s previous announcement, they planned to debut the bomber at Christmas, while Dragon Country [China] had previously announced that the new H20 bomber would debut in December.

The fact that the B21’s debut time was moved up by two months speaks for itself.

When promoting the fighter, Northrop Grumman focused on highlighting its stealth capabilities, saying that the bomber used advanced multi-functional stealth materials that could ignore today’s most advanced radar systems, making it a true sixth-generation aircraft.

At dawn, Dragon Country’s [China’s] netizens saw the relevant news and ridiculed it.

Careful netizens noticed that the previous announcement about the H20’s debut released by the Western Aircraft Manufacturing Plant had been removed.

Just as everyone was wondering, the Western Aircraft Manufacturing Plant issued a new announcement.

The content was very simple, just one sentence.

“The H20’s release has been postponed, all for the better.”

In addition, they also included two pictures.

One picture was the previously released silhouette of the H20 covered with cloth, labeled as “the current H20.”

The other picture was interesting. There was nothing in the blue sky, but it was labeled as “the future H20.”

Netizens understood what the Western Aircraft Manufacturing Plant wanted to express.

“Haha… Are they going to use Star Defense’s new stealth material on the H20?”

“This future H20 is too dazzling, very consistent with its true strength.”

“Official memes are the deadliest, but I believe that the H20 will have the effect of the second picture after using the latest stealth material.”

……

It was now 9 p.m. Rice Country [United States] time in New York, but all members of the Northrop Grumman B21 design team were in a meeting.

They looked at the latest announcement issued by the Western Aircraft Manufacturing Plant

My Cousin is Being Bullied—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)

and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Chief Engineer Kendall said: “I didn’t agree to announce the B21 in advance, but you insisted on announcing it in advance. Now it’s good; we’ve announced it and gained the recognition of people all over the world, but they are even more looking forward to the H20 and even think that once the H20 uses the new stealth material, it will ignore all global air defense systems. F*ck!”

“We didn’t want to announce it in advance either, but we were forced by the situation.”

“Yes! Everyone is praising Star Defense’s rain bomb for its powerful stealth function; we must reverse the public opinion at this time.”

“For us, there can be no more advanced improvement technology within ten years. There is actually no difference between announcing it now and announcing it in December. Can we prevent people all over the world from thinking that the H20 using the new stealth material is more powerful if we announce it in December?”

……

The engineers’ words made Chief Engineer Kendall even more irritable. In Kendall’s view, if the B21 cannot become the world’s strongest sixth-generation aircraft, it will be a failure for Grumman and a failure for the people of the Rice Country [United States].

However, reality is so cruel. Dragon Country [China] has the most advanced stealth materials, but they don’t.

Now their only hope is that Dragon Country’s [China’s] air defense system cannot identify and capture the B21; as for the others, they dare not think about it.

At this time, in the conference room of the Star Defense Group headquarters in Hai City [Shanghai], Dragon Country [China].

Accompanied by Qiu Yu Hong and Zhao He, Yang Chen walked into the conference room with a smile.

The conference room was already full of people, mainly from the Dragon Academy of Sciences, CNMD, security departments, Western Aircraft, Shen Fei, Dragon Country Aerospace Science and Technology Group, Baoli Group, etc.

Although many people here didn’t know Yang Chen, they guessed that this handsome guy was Yang Chen when they saw Qiu Yu Hong and Zhao He politely leading Yang Chen into the conference room.

Everyone quickly stood up to show their respect.

Qiu Yu Hong: “Everyone, this is Mr. Yang Chen.”

Everyone immediately applauded to welcome him.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, signaling everyone to be quiet.

“Hello everyone, you’re welcome; please sit down,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Everyone quickly sat down.

Yang Chen also sat down; Zhao He and others sat in the back, and Qiu Yu Hong presided over the meeting.

Qiu Yu Hong: “We know the purpose of everyone’s visit today. Mr. Yang also said that we must openly and honestly discuss with all units. Now, please Mr. Yang say a few words to everyone.”

A group of military and scientific research bigwigs under the stage quickly applauded.

Yang Chen: “Thank you, everyone. I am a more casual and direct person, and I don’t like to say official or polite words. I can summarize my attitude in two sentences. The first sentence is, I love Dragon Country [China]. The second sentence is, as long as you have enough exchange conditions, I will actively cooperate. Let’s save some time and get straight to the point. Everyone, please say what you want to say now. Follow the order of the seats; don’t rush. Comrades from CNMD, please speak first.”

Kang Hui, the head of CNMD, quickly stood up and said: “Hello, Mr. Yang. Our CNMD very much needs your tracking system. If this technology can be transplanted to radar, we will have the world’s most advanced radar system. This will be of great help to our national defense. I hope that Mr.

My Cousin is Being Bullied—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)

Yang can cooperate with our CNMD to make it a reality together.”

Yang Chen: “Of course. I have already asked them to try to transplant the tracking technology to radar. Later, you can send relevant researchers to study together. However, as an exchange condition, I hope that CNMD will purchase the products we produce in the future.”

Kang Hui: “I can report Mr. Yang’s request to my superiors and will try my best to satisfy it.”

Zheng Chun, Director of the Materials Research Institute of the Dragon Academy of Sciences: “Mr. Yang, I am Zheng Chun, Director of the Materials Research Institute of the Dragon Academy of Sciences. We are very interested in the new stealth material used in your company’s rain bombs. If possible, I hope Mr. Yang will allow us to send researchers to study. Is that okay?”

Yang Chen: “If it’s just for learning, of course, there’s no problem. But I don’t allow you to use it for other purposes, just for learning.”

Zheng Chun: “Understood.”

Representative of Western Aircraft Manufacturing Plant: “Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Dong Bing, Chief Engineer of the H20 at Western Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. We are also very interested in the stealth material used in your company’s rain bombs. If this material can be used on the H20, the H20 will become the world’s most advanced bomber. I hope Mr. Yang can cooperate with us, and we will fund the purchase of physical objects or technology.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I saw the announcement you issued and guessed that you wanted to use our stealth material on the H20. I can now promise to unconditionally authorize the H20 to use our new stealth material.”

Representative of Dragon Country [China] Aerospace Science and Technology Group: “Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Zhang Lu Le, Chief Engineer of the Aerospace Group. We are very interested in your company’s stealth materials and tracking systems. If we use the latest stealth materials for the Dongfeng series [a series of Chinese ballistic missiles], it will greatly enhance the power of the Dongfeng series, and it can even be said to ignore any air defense system. We also want to purchase relevant physical objects or technology, and I hope Mr. Yang can help us out.”

Yang Chen: “I won’t sell it to your company. I want to cooperate with you to research engines and make our ultimate version of the rain bomb with a range of 18,000 to 20,000 kilometers. After it’s made, our company will still retain the civilian function, and the military function will be left to you.”

Zhang Lu Le: “Haha… Thank you, Mr. Yang. I think it should be no problem. I will report back to my leader and hold a meeting to study the feasibility.”

……

Soon, it was the turn of the representative of Baoli Technology.

Other units are either engaged in scientific research or production, so it is very reasonable for them to come to Yang Chen for cooperation.

Baoli Group is mainly engaged in trade, so what are they doing here?

Selling the products produced by Star Defense in the future?

How is that possible?

Yang Chen can’t possibly let them make money.

“Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Zhao Hong Le, Acting Chairman of Baoli Group. I brought two letters that must be handed to Mr. Yang personally.”

Yang Chen nodded, and Zhao Hong Le came up and handed the letters to Yang Chen.

The first envelope contained handwritten letters from Xu Jun and Zhang Yu Long. Both of them apologized to Yang Chen in the letters and said that they had resigned to take responsibility, hoping that Yang Chen would no longer blame them.

The second letter was from the leader, mainly containing three aspects.

First, congratulations to Yang Chen’s company for achieving excellent results.

Second, formally remove Xu Jun and Zhang Yu Long from their positions,

My Cousin is Being Bullied—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)

and never re-employ them.

Third, I hope that Yang Chen will continue to work hard to achieve better results and actively cooperate with relevant departments.

Yang Chen put the letter back into the envelope, handed it to Zhao He, and said, “Burn it.”

Zhao He nodded and quickly walked to the trash can next to him and burned it.

Yang Chen: “Chairman Zhao, please tell the leader that the grievances between me and Baoli are over.”

Zhao Hong Le: “Okay, okay. Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your generosity. On behalf of all employees of the Baoli system, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Yang. I have already asked people to lift all restrictions on the Star system by the Baoli system, and I also hope that Mr. Yang can let the Star system lift the restrictions on the Baoli system.”

Yang Chen: “Hehe… Chairman Zhao may not have understood what I meant just now. I just said that the grievances are over, but I didn’t say that I would reconcile with you. You restrict me when you say restrict me, and lift the ban when you say lift the ban, and you still want to restore cooperation between the two parties. There is no such good thing, right? You slapped me in the face first, and I slapped you in the face, and then you want me to act like nothing happened? I’m not that easy to talk to.”

Zhao Hong Le: “Yes, yes, Mr. Yang is right. I also think it’s too unfair to Mr. Yang to act like nothing happened. Mr. Yang, you can put forward any conditions, and we will do our best to satisfy them.”

The Baoli system currently has five main businesses: real estate, film and television, art, minerals, and military industry.

Yang Chen is not interested in their real estate, art, minerals, or military industry, but he is interested in Baoli Cinemas.

Yang Chen: “I want to buy 49% of Baoli Film and Television’s shares for 1 yuan.”

The audience was shocked.

Buying 49% of Baoli Film and Television’s shares for 1 yuan is equivalent to giving it to him for free?

But thinking about Yang Chen’s contribution, it doesn’t seem worth mentioning.

It’s reasonable to give him all of it, let alone 49% of the shares.

Yang Chen only wants 49%, which is already very kind, and it doesn’t change the nature of Baoli Film and Television still being a [state-owned] enterprise.

However, this is a major event after all, and Zhao Hong Le, an acting chairman, can’t make the decision.

“I will report back to the leader and give you a reply as soon as possible,” Zhao Hong Le quickly said.

Yang Chen: “Yes. You can also report to the leader that this condition is not negotiable.”

Zhao Hong Le: “Understood, understood…”

Seeing that it was time for lunch, the meeting was almost over.

Yang Chen: “It’s getting late; let’s talk here. I won’t keep you for dinner; go back and do your business quickly.”

Everyone quickly stood up and watched Yang Chen leave.

Zhao He was responsible for sending the guests away, and Qiu Yu Hong accompanied Yang Chen to the cafeteria for dinner.

Qiu Yu Hong: “Mr. Yang, it’s time for dinner; isn’t it inappropriate for us not to keep them for dinner?”

Yang Chen: “What’s inappropriate? They have something to ask of us, so we don’t need to be too humble to them. If they want to eat, they can pay for themselves to eat in the cafeteria. We just don’t officially entertain them. Keep your back straight; we don’t need to be humble to anyone.”

Qiu Yu Hong: “Haha… Okay, I remember.”

……

There was nothing else to do in Hai City [Shanghai], so Yang Chen planned to see his aunt and cousin and then return to Capital City [Beijing].

After dinner, Yang Chen drove to the girls’ dormitory building at Hai City [Shanghai] University of Finance and Economics.

Yang Chen called his cousin Li Xiao Fei and said
