How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 564

## The Foreign Demand for Rain Bombs: What’s Wrong with a Didi Driver Having Some Money?

Despite the tense and somber situation, the impassioned report from the Haicheng TV reporter stirred a surprising excitement in the audience.

The live broadcast room’s barrage [online comments section] exploded with comments:

“I know it’s wrong to say this, but it’s so exciting! Like watching a blockbuster movie.”

“Boss Yang’s response is incredible! I just saw the commander and the resort manager discussing asking Boss Yang for help, and then his rain bombs and helicopters arrived within minutes.”

“Seriously, if Boss Yang’s rain bombs had been invented sooner, those firefighter heroes wouldn’t have had to sacrifice themselves. The fire is visibly weakening. This artificial rainfall is so timely.”

…

The Haicheng TV reporter continued, “We can see the Star Defense helicopter flying over Sheshan Mountain, searching for the trapped firefighters. The helicopter is carrying massive buckets, each capable of holding five tons of water, I’m told. While it won’t extinguish the entire mountain fire, it can concentrate water to create a lifeline for the trapped firefighters, especially with the help of the rainfall and other firefighters.”

Just then, the commander received a report from the front lines.

“Report! The trapped comrades have been found, and they are currently in stable condition!”

Commander: “Understood! Immediately evacuate away from the fire and await further firefighting instructions after the rain subsides!”

“Roger that! Evacuating the fire immediately!”

Haicheng TV reporter: “Did everyone hear that? The front-line firefighters have located the trapped comrades and are evacuating them away from the fire. They are safe! The fire is diminishing, and it’s raining heavily here. The rainfall over Sheshan Mountain is even more intense, which should extinguish the fire.”

About twenty minutes later, the five rescued firefighters reached the commander, aided by their comrades.

Commander: “Good work, everyone. Leave the rest to the others. You need to go to the hospital immediately for a check-up, especially respiratory and blood tests, to rule out any poisoning.”

The five firefighters saluted the commander and were promptly taken to the hospital in an ambulance for examination.

The most common injuries from being trapped in a fire are smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning. Since they were trapped for over ten minutes, a thorough examination is crucial to identify any potential damage.

With fire brigades from various districts arriving to provide support, the rescued firefighters could rest assured and entrust the situation to their comrades.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of online viewers, the fire that had raged uncontrollably half an hour earlier was gradually being extinguished. Only scattered flames remained.

Commander: “Attention, all units! The fire is nearly extinguished. Everyone, move in and eliminate the remaining flames. However, we still don’t know the exact conditions on the mountain, so we must remain vigilant and proceed with utmost caution. Go!”

The firefighters advanced towards Sheshan Mountain, determined to extinguish the last embers.

Haicheng TV reporter:

“Viewers, the fire on the mountain is almost completely extinguished, with only a few scattered flames remaining. The on-site commander has issued the final order to attack, and firefighters from various districts are moving in. Let’s wish them success in extinguishing the remaining fire and await their triumphant return.”

Barrage comments:

“Looks like it’s basically out. No more danger.”

“Boss Yang is amazing! The fire looked terrifying, but he launched a few rain bombs and quickly solved the problem with the help of helicopters.”

“The government should equip the national fire brigade with rain bombs from Xingchen Defense. If they encounter a major fire again, they can use rain bombs to assist firefighters. It’s effective and can prevent firefighter casualties.”

“I heard the forest fires in the US and Canada have been burning for days. They should ask Xingchen Defense Group to buy rain bombs. They can just transfer the money, and we can launch them directly, testing the intercontinental flight capability of the rain bombs.”

…

Meanwhile, at the United Nations, a temporary climate conference was underway.

Despite being convened on short notice, the situation was dire.

The forest fires in Hawaii and Canada continued to burn, and due to insufficient firefighting capabilities, both countries could only watch the flames spread.

The Hawaii fire had already damaged or destroyed 2,200 buildings, burned over 850 hectares of land, and tragically resulted in 93 deaths.

The Canadian forest fire had been burning for over three months, consuming over 130,000 square kilometers. Over 170,000 people had been forced to relocate, and carbon emissions had exceeded 300 million tons, accounting for over 25% of global carbon emissions this year. The emission reduction efforts of countries worldwide had been undone by Canada in just three months.

This temporary climate conference was called to address these fires.

Representatives from various countries were engaged in heated debate.

Developing countries strongly condemned the United States and Canada for their inaction, which had nullified years of global energy conservation and emission reduction efforts.

When other countries face fires, they do everything possible to extinguish them, even at the cost of human lives, to prevent harm to their own country and the world.

However, these two countries were allowing the fires to burn, unwilling to pay the price to extinguish them, causing losses to their own country and harming the interests of all mankind.

These developed countries had proposed carbon emission limits for each country. Developing countries were actively complying, even buying emission quotas, but these developed countries were not, making it difficult to convince the public.

Representatives from the United States and Canada argued that the fires were too large to extinguish.

Forcibly extinguishing the fires would be too costly and could result in casualties, which was against their values.

The Dragon Country [China] representative retorted, “Your values are to implement what benefits you and to be inactive when it doesn’t. Recently, a mountain forest fire broke out in Haicheng, Dragon Country. We mobilized the city’s fire fighting force and extinguished the fire completely within three hours. Is the fire fighting equipment of your developed countries not as advanced as ours in a developing country? Even with five firefighters trapped in the fire, facing potential sacrifice, we didn’t hesitate to actively rescue and extinguish the fire. We can sacrifice our lives to save the country, the people, and the world. Why can’t you? Is your value to let the world pay for your mistakes?”

The room fell silent as the representatives from the United States and Canada lowered their heads, unconvinced.

Then, the US representative received an order.

“The embassy in Dragon Country reported that Xingchen Defense used six rain bombs and four helicopters to extinguish the mountain forest fire. Xingchen Defense Group’s rain bombs can bypass the THAAD [Terminal High Altitude Area Defense] air defense system. We want to test its capabilities. Propose to the Dragon Country representative to purchase Xingchen Defense rain bombs to extinguish the Hawaii fire, so we can obtain fragments of their rain bombs.”

The US representative understood immediately and said to the Dragon Country representative, “Mr. Wang, I admire your Dragon Country’s dedication. I understand you used rain bombs to extinguish the mountain forest fire. Since your rain bombs are so effective, I hope you can donate some to us and Canada for humanitarian purposes to extinguish the fire. Does everyone agree?”

The Canadian representative chimed in, “Ah? Dragon Country has something so effective? Why don’t you quickly use it to help us extinguish the fire?”

The lackeys immediately voiced their support.

“I agree. Letting the Hawaii and Canadian forest fires continue is a disaster for the world. Since Dragon Country has rain bombs that can extinguish mountain fires, they should donate some for the sake of all mankind.”

“I agree. It concerns the welfare of all mankind. Dragon Country should have no problem with that, right?”

“I think we can vote by a show of hands, with the minority obeying the majority.”

“Yes, yes, I agree.”

The Dragon Country representative knew how powerful Xingchen Defense Group’s rain bombs were and couldn’t donate them to Canada and the United States.

The Dragon Country representative: “I understand everyone’s concerns, but this is a product of a private enterprise and not yet for sale to the public, so we cannot force them to donate. Our government has no plans to donate materials at the moment, so we cannot meet the US request. However, I can contact the manufacturer and ask if they have any inventory they can sell to you.”

Obtaining fragments of the rain bomb was worth the expense.

US representative: “Okay, Mr. Wang, please call now. We’ll wait for your news.”

The Dragon Country representative nodded, got up, and left to make a call.

Back in Haicheng, Dragon Country.

Yang Chen had just showered, and Yu Shishi had warmed the bed. He was about to go to sleep when a strange phone call came in.

Recognizing the caller as Wang Junan, the Dragon Country’s climate ambassador to the United Nations, Yang Chen politely said, “Mr. Wang, it’s so late… Oh, it’s daytime over there. What’s up?”

Wang Junan quickly explained the situation at the temporary climate conference and asked for Yang Chen’s opinion on selling rain bombs.

Yang Chen: “Of course, I can sell them. Do they want them?”

Wang Junan: “Yes! But your company’s rain bombs use advanced guidance and stealth technology. If you sell them, they might try to reverse engineer them.”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay. I’ll sell them ordinary rain bombs without the advanced technology. They won’t be able to figure anything out even if they analyze them.”

Wang Junan: “Okay, I’ll ask them. How many do you plan to sell, and how much will they cost?”

Yang Chen: “How about 10 million US dollars each? I’ll sell them 100 first.”

Wang Junan: “Okay, I’ll ask them now.”

After a while, Wang Junan called back.

“Mr. Yang, the United States and Canada are willing to buy 100 rain bombs from you at a price of 10 million US dollars each. They hope you can deliver them as soon as possible.”

Yang Chen: “No problem. I’ll have someone prepare them immediately. They can send someone to pick them up tomorrow.”

Wang Junan: “Okay, I’ll tell them. By the way, they want to pay half each. Is that okay?”

Yang Chen: “Of course, it’s all money anyway.”

Wang Junan: “Okay, I’ll tell them.”

After hanging up, Wang Junan said to the representatives of the United States and Canada, “Mr. Yang agreed to sell you rain bombs. Each rain bomb costs 10 million US dollars, and he can deliver 100 rain bombs tomorrow. However, he has a request. You must not reverse engineer the rain bombs.”

US representative: “No problem. We just want to extinguish the fire. We won’t reverse engineer the rain bombs.”

Canadian representative: “We and the United States will each pay half and each want half of the rain bombs.”

Wang Junan: “Okay, then transfer the money to Xingchen Defense Group. The account is here. I’ll guarantee you can transport 100 rain bombs away tomorrow.”

The representatives of the two countries took the account information and quickly called their “families” to transfer the money immediately.

Meanwhile, a commander of a US missile unit received the news.

“Haha… Great, 1 billion US dollars to get rain bombs that can evade the THAAD system. What a bargain. Dragon Country’s businessmen have no vision. They only care about money. Give them enough money, and they’ll do anything. Haha… Such advanced technology sold for 1 billion.”

The subordinates laughed and shared their opinions.

“I think it’s normal. They just love money.”

“1 billion US dollars is a huge sum for them. They can’t resist the temptation.”

“If we can crack their guidance and stealth technology, our missile strength will improve. We’ll test fire a few to thank them.”

“Haha…”

Back in Haicheng, Dragon Country.

Yang Chen was chatting with Yu Shishi when Qiu Yuhong called.

Qiu Yuhong: “Mr. Yang, the finance department called and said they received two transfers of 500 million US dollars. The other party didn’t note any information. Is it for the 100 rain bombs you mentioned?”

Yang Chen: “It should be. Have Xingchen Machinery Factory work overtime overnight to produce 100 ordinary rain bombs. Supervise them personally. They must be ordinary rain bombs. Don’t mix in any with advanced guidance and stealth technology. If you make a mistake and mix in even one, everyone goes to jail. I’ll send all relevant personnel, including you, to prison. Understand?”

Qiu Yuhong: “Understood! I’ll take Xiao Tian to the factory now and watch them every step to ensure all 100 rain bombs are ordinary models and won’t be mixed with even one using advanced guidance and stealth technology.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Go ahead.”

Qiu Yuhong understood the serious consequences of even one rain bomb with advanced guidance and stealth technology leaving the country.

Just after hanging up, Wang Junan called Yang Chen.

Wang Junan: “Mr. Yang, they transferred the money. Check it. They’re applying for flights with Dragon Country. If all goes well, the special plane will land at Haicheng International Airport around 8 pm tomorrow. You must deliver the goods to the airport immediately. Can you?”

Yang Chen: “No problem, plenty of time.”

Wang Junan: “Okay. I’ll contact you if there are any new developments. Oh, say hello to the relevant departments to explain the situation, to avoid misunderstandings.”

Yang Chen: “I understand. I’ve asked the chairman to report and explain.”

Wang Junan: “Then there’s no problem! It’s late in Dragon Country, so I won’t disturb you. Goodbye.”

Yang Chen smiled and hung up.

He turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Yang Chen received a press release from Chen Xi.

Yang Chen lay in bed and carefully read Chen Xi’s press release. Her writing was good, with appropriate details and everything that should be expressed was expressed. Yang Chen was satisfied.

Then Yang Chen sent a voice message to Chen Xi.

“It’s well written, I’m satisfied. If you want to work here, the monthly salary is 10,000, five insurances and one housing fund, and meal and transportation subsidies are 3,000 per month. Report to Yang Zhen at Xingchen Entertainment. I’ll call her to explain, and she’ll arrange your work.”

Soon, Chen Xi replied.

“Thank you, Mr. Yang, I’ll work hard and take care of the social accounts you’ve entrusted to me.”

Yang Chen: “Well, do a good job, and your salary will increase.”

Chen Xi: “Don’t worry, Mr. Yang, I’ll do my best.”

Becoming Yang Chen’s employee was a dream for many, so Chen Xi was excited.

Yang Chen stretched and got up to prepare breakfast.

Yu Shishi was wearing pajamas and cooking in the kitchen. Hearing Yang Chen come down, she turned and said with a smile, “Hurry up and get ready, we can eat soon.”

Yang Chen hugged Yu Shishi from behind and said, “When you dress like this, I don’t want breakfast, I just want to eat you.”

Yu Shishi blushed and said, “Oh, don’t make trouble, hurry up and get ready to eat, I have to go out to do errands later. I’ll buy some nice clothes and wear them for you tonight.”

Yang Chen: “Do I need to recharge my membership to watch?”

Yu Shishi: “Haha… You don’t need to recharge, it’s free for life.”

Yang Chen kissed Yu Shishi and quickly took the breakfast out to prepare for eating.

The two finished breakfast sweetly, and Yang Chen drove out.

He would go to the Xingchen Machinery Factory to check and confirm there were no problems with the 100 rain bombs before he could rest assured.

As soon as Yang Chen left the gate, Gao Qiting rushed over from the roadside with a brick and blocked his way.

Yang Chen: “What are you doing? Robbing me?”

Gao Qiting: “I want you to tell the truth, did you frame my brother?”

Previously, Yang Chen ordered the assassins of Xingchen Defense to kill Qin Sitong and his son Qin Lang and frame Gao Qiguo.

During Yang Chen’s trip to Hangzhou, the matter was completed.

Gao Qiguo was now in custody. The police had completed the investigation and would hand him over to the procuratorate today to enter the next procedure.

If there were no special accidents, Gao Qiguo would be considered the murderer who killed Qin Sitong and his son Qin Lang and sentenced to death.

Gao Qiting believed her brother didn’t kill the Qin family, and Gao Qiguo suspected Yang Chen was setting him up.

Therefore, Gao Qiting came to stop the car to ask what was going on.

She was quite brainless. She should hurry up and go abroad, instead of foolishly coming to Yang Chen to verify the truth.
