The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
1) Chapter 649 The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
Can a bunch of rabble-rousers come up with a legitimate outcome?
It’s nothing more than shamelessly protecting their own interests and depriving others of their legitimate rights.
Seeing that the participating representatives had expressed their support, Medtronic President Adams Silva immediately raised his arms and shouted, “Friends, let us join hands and defeat the destroyers! Victory will be ours!”
The representatives at the scene immediately responded with shouts and applause, making it seem like a pyramid scheme brainwashing session.
After the summit, the representatives of each company rushed back to report to their headquarters. Subsequently, each company issued an announcement explicitly requesting the government to prohibit the products of Xingchen Medical Group from entering their country, and requesting the government to communicate with the Dragon Kingdom to require Dragon Kingdom hospitals to continue importing their products.
Seeing an opportunity, Wall Street giants quickly contacted Medtronic, GE, and other major companies. After some discussion, they jointly petitioned the federal government to freeze all of Xingchen Investment’s funds in the US.
As everyone knows, the US government serves these capitals. The Wall Street giants, together with the entire medical device industry giants, jointly made such a request, and the relevant departments naturally had to satisfy them.
Max’s news was very well-informed, and he quickly learned that the relevant departments were going to freeze Xingchen Investment’s accounts.
He then posted a tweet, taking the lead in conveying the news to the public.
“According to reliable sources, Xingchen Investment’s hundreds of billions of US dollars have been frozen. This is the B plan of the Wall Street giants. They will do everything possible to lure Xingchen Investment’s funds into the US market. Regardless of whether they win or lose in the battle with Yang Chen, Xingchen Investment’s funds will be left behind forever. The older ginger is spicier [meaning the experienced are more cunning], the capital market is so cruel and ruthless. Yang Chen should just treat it as paying for a lesson, but this lesson is a bit expensive. Hahaha…”
Some netizens who often surf the Internet by bypassing the firewall screenshotted Max’s tweets and forwarded them to domestic platforms such as Weibo [a Chinese microblogging website], and also thoughtfully translated them.
The Dragon Kingdom netizens were instantly outraged and started a heated discussion in the comment section.
“They are so shameless, they resort to rogue tactics when they can’t win!”
“The more rogue they are, the more it proves how awesome Boss Yang is.”
“They keep shouting about the spirit of contract, while doing rogue things. Only they can do such things.”
“Damn, hundreds of billions of US dollars, if we take it back to build aircraft carriers, each province can get one. We must get it back, this is too much money.”
“Alas… Boss Yang was still careless, or rather too naive. He didn’t expect them to be so insidious and shameless. After so many years of hard work, it’s back to square one.”
……
Yang Chen had just finished running around the lake and was about to have breakfast when Jin Ming, CEO of Xingchen Investment, called.
Jin Ming: “Boss Yang, all our accounts in the US have been frozen.”
Yang Chen: “Okay, don’t panic, I expected them to be so shameless. Wait for me to resolve it.”
Jin Ming: “Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen called Li Daming, chairman of Xingchen Technology Group.
Li Daming: “Good morning, Boss Yang, what can I do for you?”
Yang Chen: “Issue an announcement, informing the world that we have developed room-temperature superconductivity.”
2) Chapter 649 The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
Li Daming: “Okay. I’ll have someone prepare the announcement and send it out immediately.”
Then Yang Chen called Mayor Luo of He City.
Mayor Luo: “Good morning, Boss Yang, calling me so early, is there any good news to share?”
Yang Chen: “Yes! I want to cooperate with the Longke University Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project Team, and I will help them solve the magnetic confinement problem.”
Mayor Luo: “Really? Well, I don’t understand the technical stuff very well. I’ll have their person in charge contact you! Please answer the phone.”
Yang Chen: “Okay.”
After a while, Song Yutao, the person in charge of the Longke University Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project, called Yang Chen.
Song Yutao excitedly asked: “Hello, Boss Yang, I am Song Yutao, the leader of the Longke University Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project Team, and also the director of the He City Material Research Institute of the Longke Academy of Sciences. I am the first person in charge of the controlled nuclear fusion project and can communicate with you on any issues.”
Yang Chen: “Very good! Our Xingchen Technology has overcome the problem of room-temperature superconductivity and has produced a piece of room-temperature superconductor, realizing the superconducting effect at room temperature. Although I don’t know much about controlled nuclear fusion, I know that the biggest problem with this project is the confinement of energy, and the international research direction for confinement equipment tends to be magnetic confinement. If we use our room-temperature superconducting material to make equipment that confines the high temperature and energy generated by nuclear fusion, we will surely be able to achieve the controllability, miniaturization, and commercialization of nuclear fusion in the near future.”
Song Yutao: “Boss Yang, are you kidding me? Is it really a room-temperature superconducting material?”
Yang Chen: “Of course. Our research team has done countless experiments and confirmed that it is a room-temperature superconducting material.”
Song Yutao: “Can I bring the team to Xingchen Technology to take a look?”
Yang Chen: “Of course! You are welcome anytime.”
Song Yutao: “Okay! I will gather people and rush over now, and we will definitely be there in the afternoon!”
Yang Chen: “OK! See you in the afternoon!”
Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen sent a message to Li Daming, chairman of Xingchen Technology Group, ordering him to arrange for Song Yuntao and his team to witness the room-temperature superconducting material in person in the afternoon.
This is not over yet, Yang Chen called Qiu Yuhong, chairman of Xingchen Defense Group.
Qiu Yuhong: “Mr. Yang, what are your instructions?”
Yang Chen: “Notify the US side to let them mobilize more black friends to do more zero-dollar shopping activities [organized shoplifting]. Also, organize some people from the slums to take to the streets, with the slogan of needing to reduce medical expenses and demanding that medical equipment and other products be drastically reduced to the level of Xingchen Medical Group’s products. In addition, aren’t the workers in the Detroit auto factories wanting to increase wages and reduce working hours? You let the brothers over there ignite this spark for them, the hotter the better.”
Qiu Yuhong: “Okay, I will send the order to them immediately and let them take action immediately!”
Yang Chen: “Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen started to eat breakfast with peace of mind.
Yu Shishi put the tablet in front of Yang Chen and said, “The news has spread, Xingchen Investment’s hundreds of billions of US dollars have been frozen.”
Yang Chen: “This Max is really idle, he works on Twitter every day.”
Yu Shishi: “He also said that he made a bet with you, and you two agreed to determine the winner by 24:00 on December 31st.
3) Chapter 649 The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
The outcome. I saw many netizens asking about this in your Weibo comment section, asking how your simulation robot is doing, when it will be launched, and whether it can be made according to Bingbing’s appearance.”
Yang Chen: “After I finish the things at hand, I have to go to Beijing as soon as possible. This project must be put into research immediately. I have already talked to Xunfei Technology, and they will provide technical support in voice. I also acquired Tianyang Technology Company to specialize in the research of embryos, genes, and other fields, plus the existing artificial skin and other technologies, it is not difficult to create a robot with a real human touch. But since it is a simulation robot, every move must be the same as a real person. The only thing lacking now is the robot technology to manufacture the same bones and joints as humans.”
Yu Shishi: “Oh, then I will also keep an eye on whether there are any related companies in the market. Eat quickly, it’s getting cold.”
The news was raging, and hundreds of billions of US dollars were frozen. This is not only Yang Chen’s loss, but also the loss of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
The Dragon Kingdom’s official holdings of US bonds are only 800 billion US dollars, and Yang Chen was frozen nearly 400 billion US dollars at once. This comparison shows how big the impact is.
After Mayor Chen learned the news, he immediately rushed to the Lakeside Island villa to talk to Yang Chen face to face.
Mayor Chen: “Boss Yang, what should we do now? Your hundreds of billions of US dollars have been frozen, and the loss is huge.”
Yang Chen: “Don’t worry, I am already fighting back. No one can take the money I have worked so hard to earn.”
Mayor Chen: “Do you need our help? The leader called me and said to do everything possible to help you get the money back.”
Yang Chen: “No, I think I should be able to handle it. If I really can’t handle it, I will ask the government for help. Let me play with them first, don’t interfere.”
Mayor Chen: “Okay! Seeing you so confident, I feel much more at ease. To be honest, from the time I saw the news until now, my heartbeat has been accelerating, and now I can finally settle down a bit.”
Yang Chen: “Haha… Don’t do that, I’m not affected, don’t affect your health. Put your hand over here, I’ll take your pulse.”
Mayor Chen: “Haha… Boss Yang also knows medical skills?”
Yang Chen: “The main thing is to be all-round. If you get me a fighter jet now, I can get started right away.”
Mayor Chen laughed and quickly stretched out his hand.
Yang Chen quietly took Mayor Chen’s pulse, checked his eyes and tongue, and listened to his heartbeat. Finally, he gave a rough diagnosis of the problem.
Yang Chen: “You are getting older, your three highs [high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol] are a bit serious, you have a lot of work pressure, you often stay up late, and you are at risk of myocardial infarction. You are weak, have night sweats, have no energy, and pant badly when climbing stairs. There are many problems, but it is normal. You are this age and work at high intensity every day, so it is inevitable that you will have various problems. I will prescribe a prescription for you, and ask the person you trust most to get you the best quality medicinal materials and personally decoct the medicine for you to drink. If you persist for a month, your situation will be basically resolved. Don’t drink alcohol in the future, drink some health tea or something.”
Mayor Chen: “Oh my, Boss Yang’s medical skills are really not just talk! I really have the symptoms you said. If I hadn’t
4) Chapter 649 The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
Watched you take my pulse and diagnose me with my own eyes, I would have suspected that you had secretly read my medical record.”
Yang Chen: “I didn’t say that, the main thing is that I am all-round. Shishi, bring the paper and pen and hand it to Mayor Chen.”
Yu Shishi quickly brought the paper and pen and handed it to Mayor Chen.
Yang Chen: “I’ll say it, you write it.”
Mayor Chen nodded and quickly wrote a complete and detailed prescription according to what Yang Chen said, even writing down in detail how much heat to use and how long to decoct it.
Mayor Chen: “Thank you, Boss Yang. How much should I give you for the consultation fee?”
Yang Chen: “No need, you go and get busy.”
Mayor Chen: “I will remember this favor. Then I will leave first, let’s chat when you have time.”
After seeing off Mayor Chen, Yang Chen changed his clothes and went out to drive.
Originally, Yang Chen wanted to take orders to pick up passengers, but as soon as he left the gate of the community, Yuan Xiaozhao called.
Yuan Xiaozhao is now a platinum god [top-tier author] in the female channel of Qidian [a popular online literature platform]. After Yang Chen spent millions to promote her book “You and the Spring Breeze Are All Passers-by”, she seemed to have figured it out. The three novels that followed were all popular. Not only did she earn a lot of money from subscriptions, but the money from fans’ rewards added up to hundreds of thousands, but these are still small money. The most profitable thing is the copyright fee of these novels, which added up to more than 10 million for her.
For an online writer, being able to reach this level is already rare.
Except for the few platinum gods in the male channel of Qidian, it is almost impossible to find anyone who earns more than her.
The key is that Yuan Xiaozhao’s status in the online literature circle has been greatly improved by selling copyrights. The people she deals with now are all stars who participate in the film and television dramas adapted from her works, which is even more awesome than those platinum gods.
However, a person’s inspiration is always limited. After several consecutive popular books, Yuan Xiaozhao has been preparing for a new book for the past two or three months, but she has not found any clues, so she called Yang Chen, wanting him to take her out to relax and find inspiration.
Yang Chen came to the gate of the community where Yuan Xiaozhao lived, and Yuan Xiaozhao, who had been waiting for a long time, ran over.
Yuan Xiaozhao: “Hee hee… Honey, you’re here. I haven’t seen you for a long time, I miss you so much. I want a kiss, I want a hug.”
Yang Chen smiled and hugged Yuan Xiaozhao, and kissed her deeply.
If it weren’t for the car honking behind them, the two of them could have stayed together for a while.
Yang Chen: “I’ll take you to a shopping spree, buy whatever you want, buy as much as you want.”
Yuan Xiaozhao: “Okay! Hee hee… I’ve gained weight recently, and last year’s clothes don’t fit my plump figure anymore, so I want to buy some new clothes.”
Yang Chen: “I think this state is very good now. You were too thin before, and I was always afraid of breaking you.”
Yuan Xiaozhao immediately covered her face and said, “Oh, you bad guy, what are you saying! Humph! You’re afraid of breaking me, so you haven’t come to break me for so long, right? Be careful I write you into the novel and portray you as a pervert.”
Yang Chen: “Haha… You can write that I am a bad guy, but you can’t write that I am a pervert. I don’t think I’m a pervert anywhere!”
Yuan Xiaozhao: “I am the author, if I say you are a pervert, you are a pervert.”
Yang Chen: “Oh, the author is good, you can write whoever you want
5) Chapter 649 The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
Whoever you want to be. When I have time someday, I will also write a novel. I will portray myself as a handsome guy who fascinates 900 million girls.”
Yuan Xiaozhao: “Haha… That would be boring. You already are now. It’s not interesting to describe it as it is. There should be a sense of contrast.”
Yang Chen: “Well, that’s a nice thing to say, I’ll give you a reward. I’ll give you a small gift later, no more than 10 million.”
Yuan Xiaozhao: “Are you crazy? Why do I want such an expensive gift?”
Yang Chen: “I’ll give it to you, you have to take it. It’s a pity if I don’t spend so much money.”
The two of them chatted and came to the Guojin Center.
Yang Chen parked the car and walked in with the petite Yuan Xiaozhao in his arms.
As soon as they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the two of them saw many people watching something. When they got closer, they realized that the big anchor Lin Qijia was doing a live broadcast.
Yuan Xiaozhao whispered: “It’s Lin Qijia, I often buy things in his live broadcast room. The things in his live broadcast room are guaranteed to be the lowest price on the entire network.”
Yang Chen: “Silly girl, these are all their routines. If you understand the details of the anchor’s sales, you won’t believe their nonsense. You only need to know one thing, this kind of big anchor’s sales will not only charge a slot fee [listing fee], but also a commission, and the commission ratio exceeds 50%. Under the premise of ensuring their own profits, the merchants also give the anchor a slot fee and commission. Do you think the things sold by the anchor can be cheap?”
Yuan Xiaozhao: “Ah? Such a high commission? Tsk tsk tsk… I want to go live and sell goods.”
At this time, several girls next to them complained about Yang Chen.
“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.”
“The things in Lin Qijia’s live broadcast room are the cheapest on the entire network. Many international brands have discounts here. We often use them, and we know them best. People who can’t afford big brands should stop talking nonsense.”
“That’s right! I don’t know where you saw the rumors, but you actually believe them. If it’s really like what you said, you have to pay a slot fee and a commission of more than 50%, how expensive would this thing be!”
……
“Yes, yes, you are all right.” Yang Chen said with a smile, then he and Yuan Xiaozhao looked at each other and laughed together.
At this time, Lin Qijia said loudly: “Okay! The babies in the live broadcast room with more than 500,000 people, pay attention, sit down and get ready to compete for speed and network speed. 3! 2! 1! Put on the link! A Caoliuzi eyebrow pencil for 79 yuan. This is the only opportunity in half a year, don’t miss it.”
Yuan Xiaozhao opened her eyes wide in shock and said, “So expensive! My eyebrow pencil only costs a few yuan, and his selling it for 79 yuan is enough for me to use for many years.”
Lin Qijia seemed to hear Yuan Xiaozhao’s voice, looked over here, and immediately showed an unhappy expression on his face, but because he was live broadcasting, he didn’t say anything.
But!
Expensive is expensive, not only Yuan Xiaozhao said so, but the audience in the live broadcast room also said so.
Lin Qijia: “79 yuan for a Caoliuzi eyebrow pencil, you still think it’s expensive? Where is it expensive? Don’t talk nonsense. It has always been this price for so many years. You didn’t think it was expensive before, why do you think it’s expensive now? It’s very difficult for our domestic brands, okay? Really talking nonsense. Seriously, if you really think this price is still expensive, I don’t know
6) Chapter 649 The audacity to freeze my money? What if a ride-hailing driver has a little cash?
What should I say? Sometimes you should also look for the reasons on your own, okay? Have you worked hard, been promoted, and got a raise for so many years? I believe the old fans in the live broadcast room know how favorable this price is. Some new fans can be forgiven for not knowing, but some people who are obviously water armies [paid internet trolls] should stop swiping the screen and disgusting people here. I don’t want to scold you, but if you annoy me, I will still scold people.”
The little assistant next to him was dumbfounded and quickly winked at Lin Qijia to remind him that he had said the wrong thing.
But Lin Qijia seemed to have a lot of anger in his heart. If he didn’t say what was in his heart, he would feel very uncomfortable.
“Management! Management? Immediately kick out those water armies who say it’s expensive! I don’t know if you are funny people sent by your peers, or people who are really so poor that you can’t even afford 79 yuan. I don’t welcome you here! Yes! Lin Qijia’s live broadcast room does not welcome people like you, please get out immediately!” Lin Qijia said very angrily.
The administrator really kicked out all the viewers in the live broadcast room who said it was expensive, and the rest were Lin Qijia’s babies.
Yuan Xiaozhao said with a look of disgust: “Expensive is expensive, and you don’t let people say it. Honey, let’s go.”
Yang Chen nodded and walked away with Yuan Xiaozhao in his arms.
Lin Qijia’s eyes fell on Yuan Xiaozhao, wishing he could go up and confront her now.
However, because what he said just now did hurt some people, and the 79 yuan eyebrow pencil was indeed too expensive, the sales of this product were not ideal.
Originally, they expected to sell at least 50,000 copies, but now they have not even sold 1,000 copies, the difference is too big.
Lin Qijia’s face became more and more ugly, and he now wished he could personally take out the wallets of the 500,000 people in the live broadcast room and place an order to pay.
