How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 616

616. “Admit it, you created the typhoon. What’s wrong with a ride-hailing driver having a little money?”

It seems I can’t use the ‘Undying Star’ account anymore, to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on others.

Seeing the streamer so nervous, Yang Chen had to leave a comment.

Undying Star: “Streamer, don’t be nervous. I just rewarded you for playing the piano well.”

The streamer breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Undying Star, for your support. You scared me. I thought I was going to die of embarrassment. But, you don’t need to give me gifts, just give me a like. What song do you want to hear? I can play another one for you, you pick.”

Undying Star: “You’re dressed as Dongfang Bubai [a famous, powerful, androgynous character from wuxia fiction], so how about ‘Swordsman’?”

Streamer: “Okay! ‘Swordsman’ it is. Everyone, if you think it sounds good, give me a like to show your appreciation. Thank you.”

The streamer adjusted her breathing and began to play “Swordsman.”

It’s quite pathetic to rely on a stranger for entertainment during the holidays.

After the streamer finished playing “Swordsman,” Yang Chen rewarded her with another set of carnivals [expensive virtual gifts on the streaming platform], then exited the live stream and went to sleep.

Streamer: “Thank you, Undying Star, for the carnival. Please don’t *shua* [a slang term for showering someone with gifts] anymore. Hmm? Star seems to have left. Is this the coolness of a big shot? Quietly *shua*-ing gifts, quietly enjoying, quietly leaving.”

Comments:

“You need to be smart, quickly contact Star, meet up if you need to, give what you need to give, keep this big shot, and you’ll be financially free.”

“If Star asks for it, you must give it, understand the rules of the game.”

“Big shots definitely want face, you have to take the initiative to contact them privately.”

…

Streamer: “WTF, are you guys okay? Just a few gifts, and you want me to give *what*? I don’t lack that little money. Besides, I’m not the kind of person who gives just because of money. I’m going offline, I have to go to work tomorrow. Disperse, it’s nothing.”

The streamer went offline directly, hesitated for a while, and decided to send Yang Chen a private message to explain.

“Star, thank you for your gifts. Next time you want to hear a song, just come in and listen. If you think I play well, just give me a like, you don’t need to reward me. No matter how many gifts you give me, I won’t give you any ‘benefits’ [a euphemism for sexual favors]. I’m not other streamers, I won’t do anything out of line for money, no matter how much money.”

After typing so many words, she read it carefully again, making sure there were no typos or awkward phrases, and then clicked send.

“Sorry, due to the other party’s privacy settings, you cannot send a private message to the other party.”

Frustrated, so frustrated.

She explained so seriously, but Star didn’t even give her a chance to send a private message. Now she knows she was overthinking it.

At this moment, her classmate Li Kang sent a WeChat voice message.

“Ruoxue, has your family’s funding problem been solved? If not, I’ll sell our company, which should be able to raise about 100 million for you to use.”

The streamer sighed and quickly replied to him…

…

Because of the Dongdian Group shareholders’ meeting, Yang Chen got up early but didn’t drive. He made some breakfast, ate it, and went for a walk.

Because Yang Chen required a typhoon to form after nine o’clock, the Star Machinery Factory had to start now.

Creating a typhoon is a very complicated task that requires the cooperation of many people.

To summarize simply, first use silver iodide to cool and condense the air, then use specific band electromagnetic waves to “attack” this area, control the air flow by changing the ions in the clouds and air, and at the same time add enough hot water vapor, so that a typhoon or hurricane can be formed.

It sounds simple, but it is very complicated to do. Yang Chen gave the technology to the researchers, and it took them several months to understand the principle and steps.

In addition to creating typhoons, the same method can also be used to change the direction of typhoons, which may be useful in future typhoon weather.

At nine o’clock, Yang Chen attended the Dongdian Group’s shareholders’ meeting on time via video.

Yang Chen was a new shareholder, and the other shareholders didn’t know him, so he first introduced himself to everyone.

Although the shareholders met Yang Chen for the first time, they had heard of his great name before, especially the miracle of Yang Chen single-handedly challenging Wall Street was still continuing, and the shareholders admired him very much.

However, admiration is admiration. When it comes to their own interests, they will still stand on the opposite side of Yang Chen.

After some greetings, the shareholders’ meeting officially began.

Knowing that Yang Chen was going to “cause trouble,” Yoshiro Junichiro did not propose the ocean discharge proposal as soon as he came up but first took out other proposals for resolution, and finally brought out the main event of sewage discharge for discussion.

Yoshiro Junichiro: “I have just explained to you the current status of sewage storage and also explained in detail the preparations we have made for ocean discharge. Let’s put it this way, everything is ready, only the shareholders’ meeting needs to pass the vote. Now let’s express our opinions.”

All the other shareholders, represented by the major shareholder BlackRock, agreed. This situation was within Yang Chen’s expectations.

Yang Chen smiled and said, “I told Yoshiro and Quesler that I disagree with ocean discharge. Now I will say it again in front of other shareholders, I disagree with ocean discharge. I won’t say anything more, you all know why I refuse.”

Quesler: “Mr. Yang, you can’t be too selfish, only caring about your own ideas but not caring about the interests of so many of our shareholders.”

Yang Chen: “*Fage le ge ke de*! [a minced oath, similar to ‘What the heck!’] Are you *tama* [a vulgar intensifier, similar to ‘damn’] shameless? Am I *tama* selfish? Shouldn’t *you* be selfish? You don’t even have basic humanity in order to make money. Once these things cause serious consequences, billions of people will suffer. Have your *tama* consciences been eaten by dogs? *I* am considering from the perspective of the health and safety of all mankind, but you only care about your own interests. You have the face to say that I am selfish? The descendants of robbers are indeed robbers, and they don’t even use their brains when they speak. Son of a bitch, *fack*! [a deliberate misspelling of ‘fuck’]”

Quesler: “Mr. Yang, please speak properly, don’t curse!”

Yang Chen: “Did I curse? Isn’t the only *person* attending this shareholders’ meeting me? Are you even human?”

Obviously, the shareholders did not expect Yang Chen to be so “undiplomatic.” He didn’t even give them the most basic respect. At the very least, he had to put on an act; how could he curse so directly?

However, this also shows that Yang Chen is really angry and will definitely refuse to the end.

Yoshiro Junichiro: “Mr. Yang, please respect yourself! Even if you disagree, we can start from the policy level; you can’t stop it!”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Then let your government promote this matter; you must be nailed to the pillar of shame in human history! At the corporate level, don’t even think about getting past me!”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “Aren’t you deliberately *daoluan* [making trouble]?”

Yang Chen: “Is your *tama* brain broken? Stopping you from doing evil is called *daoluan*. Is this the robber logic you learned from Westerners? I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I vote against it; don’t even think about passing this proposal. Now I propose a proposal to add a seat to the board of directors, or replace one, and I want to nominate a person to represent me on the board of directors. In addition, I want to exercise my shareholder rights and report the company’s operations and financial status to me within three days. I remind you that I want real data. I will let the Star Defense Group Intelligence Department investigate and verify the data you give me. Once it is found that there is data fraud, for every fraudulent data point, a relevant person in charge must die as the price for fooling me. As for who dies, I will pick randomly! Since you are enemies of all mankind, I don’t treat you as human beings. Now vote for me, immediately, immediately!”

The shareholders looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all quickly raised their hands.

As a shareholder with a shareholding ratio of up to 38%, Yang Chen must be qualified to appoint 2-3 people to the board of directors. He only asked one person to join the board of directors, and the other shareholders naturally had to raise their hands in agreement.

Yang Chen: “Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, it’s over. I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you idiots.”

Yoshiro Junichiro was so angry that he slammed the table and looked at the camera and said, “Mr. Yang, don’t threaten us; we are not someone you can threaten casually, you know?”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? I know you have the background of the Yamaguchi group [a notorious Japanese crime syndicate], but I don’t take the Yamaguchi group seriously at all. I am still willing to entangle with you by legal means; you better be sensible. If you really piss me off, I don’t mind dealing with you by illegal means. In addition, please enjoy a typhoon performance; the location is in Fukushima, enjoy it. I have something else to do, goodbye!”

Yang Chen ended the video conference and got up to stretch and go out to work.

At this time, at the Dongdian Group shareholders’ meeting.

Yoshiro Junichiro and other shareholders looked at each other, each with a look of doubt on their faces.

“What did he mean just now? Enjoy the typhoon?”

“I haven’t heard of a typhoon? Is there a typhoon in the weather forecast?”

“No! I checked the weather forecast this morning, and it didn’t say there was a typhoon.”

“He’s threatening us, right? How can there be a typhoon just because he says there is one?”

…

Quesler quickly said: “Mr. Yoshiro, you should quickly call the meteorological department to ask if there are any signs of a typhoon near Fukushima.”

Yoshiro Junichiro nodded and quickly called Taro Kawashima, the head of the meteorological department.

After a brief greeting, Yoshiro Junichiro quickly asked: “Mr. Kawashima, will there be any typhoon weather recently? Especially near Fukushima.”

Taro Kawashima: “No!”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “In this way, you can ask your department to observe carefully and give me the latest accurate information. Thank you.”

Taro Kawashima: “Okay! I’ll ask them to observe immediately. Why did Mr. Yoshiro suddenly ask this?”

Yoshiro Junichiro repeated what Yang Chen said to Taro Kawashima, and then Taro Kawashima laughed and said: “Mr. Yoshiro, he must be threatening you. Don’t pay attention to him; I know our country and the surrounding weather like the back of my hand. There are currently no signs of typhoon weather.”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “Haha… that’s good, I knew he was talking nonsense. Haha…”

Before Yoshiro Junichiro could finish his words, the voice of a meteorological department staff member reporting to Taro Kawashima came from the phone.

“Not good! A typhoon is moving rapidly towards Fukushima!”

Yoshiro Junichiro’s face suddenly changed drastically. Is there really a typhoon?

Taro Kawashima quickly ran over to see the situation. On the display screen, he could indeed see a strong typhoon moving rapidly towards Fukushima. Judging from the typhoon eye captured by the satellite, it must be at least level 15.

“*Nani*! [Japanese for ‘What?!’] How could this happen? Why didn’t we observe such a powerful typhoon before? Why didn’t other countries report it?” Taro Kawashima asked in horror.

The observer immediately replied: “That’s not right! This typhoon did not pass through other countries. It seems that the typhoon suddenly appeared from the direction of Bangzi Country [a derogatory term for South Korea] and went straight to Fukushima. The current speed is 190 kilometers per hour, and it is expected to reach the Fukushima range within half an hour.”

Taro Kawashima: “How could this happen? Why didn’t anyone notify us that Bangzi Country was hit by a typhoon?”

Observer: “The problem is that this typhoon did not pass through Bangzi Country; it just suddenly appeared from the sea area there and then rushed towards Fukushima.”

Taro Kawashima: “This…”

The conversation between the two was heard clearly by Yoshiro Junichiro, and Yoshiro’s heart was greatly traumatized.

Could it be that Yang Chen is so powerful that he can create typhoons?

Taro Kawashima quickly said: “Mr. Yoshiro, a typhoon has really suddenly appeared at sea and is heading towards Fukushima. According to the size and speed of the typhoon eye, it must be at least level 15, which will definitely cause seawater backflow. You must quickly prepare for prevention.”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “It’s over; there’s not enough time to prepare!”

Yoshiro quickly hung up the phone and immediately ordered the front-line workers to prepare for the typhoon.

Quesler was also stunned. After Yoshiro finished the call, he quickly asked: “Mr. Yoshiro, what’s the situation? Is there really a typhoon?”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “There really is! According to the meteorological department’s observation, it is at least level 15, which will cause seawater backflow.”

Quesler: “Ah? How could this happen? Why can Yang Chen predict the arrival of the typhoon, but your meteorological department can’t predict it in advance?”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “The problem is that this typhoon suddenly formed from the sea area of Bangzi Country and went straight to Fukushima. It is obviously man-made, not naturally formed.”

Quesler was so excited that he couldn’t sit still and slipped off the chair.

“Man-made? Yang Chen can actually create a level 15 typhoon? How is that possible! Isn’t he an investor? How could he create a weather weapon that even our military cannot master?” Quesler asked in shock.

The people next to him quickly helped Quesler up and comforted him not to be too excited.

Quesler slammed the table and said, “How can I not be excited? If Yang Chen has such ability, it means that Dragon Country [a common nickname for China] has mastered weather weapons. In the future, Dragon Country can arbitrarily decide the safety of a certain area without using thermal weapons, and everyone will think it is a natural climate disaster. Don’t you think this is terrible? If this typhoon is really created by Yang Chen to give us a warning, do you still dare to discharge sewage into the sea?”

Quesler’s words were like a blow to the head, and Yoshiro Junichiro suddenly woke up. Just now, he only thought that Yang Chen was using the typhoon to scare them, but he didn’t expect the serious consequences of the typhoon causing seawater backflow and sewage being washed into the streets of Fukushima.

Yoshiro Junichiro: “Then… then what should we do? Should we still discharge it?”

The scene was silent, and no one answered.

In less than half an hour, the typhoon brought seawater back to Fukushima, and the streets were full of seawater. Many equipment, houses, trees, etc., were blown down.

Because the typhoon came too suddenly, the local residents did not prepare in advance, and the property losses were heavy, and even casualties occurred.

At this time, the weather in other Asian countries was sunny and peaceful.

…

Yang Chen and Liu Naixin had just finished filming a case and were chatting in the car when Yoshiro Junichiro’s call came again.

Yoshiro Junichiro: “Mr. Yang, did you create that typhoon?”

Yang Chen: “Don’t talk nonsense; I don’t have that ability. Natural disaster; you push it on me; that’s not kind.”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “But our meteorological department didn’t observe any signs of a typhoon at all, but you knew in advance that the typhoon was coming. Later, our meteorological department observed that this typhoon suddenly formed from the sea area in the direction of Bangzi Country and went straight to Fukushima. Only you knew about such a targeted typhoon in advance, and you still say it has nothing to do with you?”

Yang Chen: “I’m *tama* warning you not to talk nonsense; you can’t observe it because your satellites are not good. I knew in advance because our satellites are awesome. Do you understand? Maybe God can’t stand your beastly behavior and is now officially issuing a warning to you. If you really dare to be obsessed, maybe there will be even stronger typhoons passing through, and then your economic losses will be much higher than the cost of properly treating this sewage.”

Yoshiro Junichiro: “Threat! You are clearly threatening! Admit it, you created this typhoon!”

Quesler was parking next to him. He wanted to determine whether Yang Chen had the ability to create typhoons because this was too critical and related to changes in the world *geju* [situation, structure, or pattern].

Yang Chen: “Don’t talk nonsense; all my companies are private enterprises; how could I come up with such an awesome thing? However, I can observe when there will be a typhoon. When I’m unhappy, I’ll observe it for you. Goodbye, I’m busy; don’t call me if it’s not important.”

Yang Chen hung up the phone with a smile. Yoshiro and his gang must be sleepless now.

If they dare to discharge into the sea, then wait for the streets of Fukushima to be irrigated with sewage.

Anyway, they have two regions that have eaten nuclear bombs, and they have rich experience in this area.

Yang Chen got out of the car and stretched, feeling a little anxious in his heart.

He has filmed more than a dozen cases in the past two days, but the last special task has not been completed.

At this rate, when will it end? He wants to go back to Beijing and move into Prince Gong’s Mansion.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the two didn’t wait and went to find a place to eat and then continued after dinner.

In the afternoon, Jin Ming sent Yang Chen the investment list of BlackRock in Dragon Country that he wanted.

In addition to big-name companies such as Ali Gaga [likely referring to Alibaba] and Penguin [likely referring to Tencent], they also control 6 funds, 5 of which are stock funds and one is a bond fund.

The investment lists of these 5 stock funds have also been found out, and they are basically companies in the technology, pharmaceutical, energy, and real estate industries.

Yang Chen smiled, and an idea of playing with BlackRock came to his mind.

Yang Chen called Jin Ming and said, “I have read the list you sent; it is very good and very detailed.”

Jin Ming: “It should be. What are your plans now?”

Yang Chen: “BlackRock is a bit *tiaojiao* [acting wildly or aggressively]; I want to clean them up. In this way, you should now contact the shareholders of the companies on this list one by one, as well as the securities companies and banks that cooperate with them, and use the securities lending business to borrow restricted shares and smash the market hard. In addition to the commissions and interest that should be given, we will additionally promise to give those shareholders who hold restricted shares 1%-2% of the dividends. When you come to our big A [slang term for the Chinese stock market], you have to be honest. If you dare to *tiaojiao* in front of me, they have to be prepared to be punished.”

Jin Ming: “Okay, I understand. But some shareholders may not be willing to cooperate with us; they may be worried about losing control.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… BlackRock doesn’t like these garbage companies. Some of these companies have serious losses, and those major shareholders can’t wait to cash out and leave. If BlackRock really dares to smash as much as they eat, they will be grateful. I know too well what the shareholders of these *zaomao* [insignificant, trashy] companies in big A are like. They will reduce their holdings and cash out when they rise. As long as they are willing, they will still do it even if they violate the rules.”

Jin Ming: “Haha… Mr. Yang is right; there are indeed many companies whose shareholders are preparing to run away as soon as they are listed. If it weren’t for the Securities Regulatory Commission watching, among the 5,000+ listed companies, at least 4,000 companies’ major shareholders would *lagao* [drive up the price] reduce their holdings and run away.”

Yang Chen: “Sigh… the whole world knows what big A is like; we can’t control it, and it shouldn’t be our business to control it; just make good use of the rules to make money.”

Jin Ming: “Okay! I know what to do; I’ll do it right away!”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Goodbye, go get busy.”

If Jin Ming operates properly and can achieve the effect Yang Chen expects, BlackRock’s 5 stock funds will definitely suffer serious losses, and only the 6th bond fund’s profit can be preserved.

In the evening, Yang Chen was about to end his filming work when Yu Shishi called him.

Yu Shishi: “Hello, sir, are you coming back for dinner tonight?”

Yang Chen: “No, I’ll just grab something outside.”

Yu Shishi: “Oh, then come back earlier tonight; I have work to report to you.”

Yang Chen: “Ah? What work?”

Yu Shishi: “After more than a year of preparation, our medical equipment is all ready for mass production. The previously manufactured samples were sent to *xiaoxiao* [small, local] hospitals all over the country for a half-year trial, and compared with the equipment imported by various hospitals, the data shows that our product performance is more powerful, the data is more accurate, the images are clearer, and the energy consumption is less. Now the factory has purchased enough materials and can mass-produce and officially put them into *xiaoxiao* hospitals across the country to replace imported equipment.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… After waiting for so long, I finally waited. In this way, you call Tang Ge and ask them to send a table of dishes to the house. I’ll go back now and see if Xiao Nong is there and ask her to have dinner together.”

Yu Shishi: “Okay! I’ll call Tang Ge now; you come back.”

The era of huge profits for foreign medical equipment is about to end, and the welfare of people all over the world is coming!

Not to mention anything else, a set of imported MRI equipment costs more than 10 million, and many hospitals simply cannot afford it. Patients who need to have an MRI must be sent to large hospitals or professional institutions.

Yang Chen’s domestic MRI equipment has more powerful performance, more accurate data, clearer images, and less energy consumption, and the cost is less than 2 million.

Even with a 100% profit, the price is only 3 million, which is 10 million less than imported equipment.

If you include the subsequent use and maintenance costs, Yang Chen can save the hospital at least 20 million from the purchase to the scrapping of an equipment.

One hospital saves 20 million; what about so many hospitals across the country?

An MRI equipment saves so much; what about other equipment such as CT machines?

The money saved is the operating cost saved by the hospital. The hospital’s costs are reduced, and naturally the medical expenses will be reduced to a certain extent. In the end, the people who see the doctor get the benefits, and the country’s medical insurance will also spend less, which is simply a great achievement that benefits the country and the people.
