How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 653

Yang Chen Wins Again: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

These two announcements landed like a thunderclap, instantly exploding across the entire Dragon Country’s internet. Netizens flocked to leave comments.

“It has to be Boss Yang, quietly coming up with another great invention.”

“Is this for real? Several internationally renowned research teams have announced breakthroughs in room-temperature superconducting materials before, but they were all proven false. Boss Yang, don’t pull a fast one on us.”

“I knew Boss Yang wasn’t worried about his money being frozen because he was prepared. Haha… Accepting applications from all countries except the US and its allies is a clear message. Either obediently unfreeze the money and return it, or watch other countries make rapid progress in controlled nuclear fusion. Boss Yang’s move is brilliant, pulling in countries like the Bear [Russia] to join us. Even if we don’t share the results with certain countries, they won’t dare to do anything to us. Fight? Are we afraid of them?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! So many well-known research teams haven’t been able to truly develop room-temperature superconducting materials. How long has Starlight Technology been around? How could they come up with such a great achievement so quickly? It must be Boss Yang’s trick to force the US to unfreeze his funds. He’s too naive if he thinks they’ll fall for such a childish trick.”

…

From the netizens’ comments, it’s clear that most people are skeptical about Starlight Technology’s room-temperature superconducting materials. This is mainly because research teams from the US, Korea, India, and other countries have repeatedly claimed to have developed room-temperature superconducting materials, but they were all proven false. So, it’s not surprising that everyone is now skeptical of Starlight Technology’s announcement.

However, the announcement clearly states that experts from various countries are welcome to apply to personally verify the authenticity of the room-temperature superconducting materials.

Starlight Technology wouldn’t gather scientists from all over the world to fake this, right?

The news quickly reached the ears of Zhao Jilong, the most authoritative expert in the field of materials at the Dragon Academy of Sciences. He immediately called his former classmate, Song Yutao.

Zhao Jilong: “Hey, Lao Song [Old Song, a familiar way to address someone], is that announcement you jointly issued with Starlight Technology real or fake? Did they really develop room-temperature superconducting materials?”

Song Yutao: “Haha… My old brother, this time it’s real! I personally verified it with my team. The resistance is really zero at room temperature, and it also exhibits diamagnetism [a property of materials that causes them to create an induced magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field]. This research result is enough to make our country the world leader. All countries will have to rely on us, and the great rejuvenation of the nation is just around the corner!”

Zhao Jilong: “Haha… That’s great! I’ll buy a ticket now and go see it tomorrow. I didn’t expect to see the birth of room-temperature superconducting materials in my lifetime. Our Dragon Country will eventually return to the top of the world!”

Song Yutao: “Haha… Old brother, come over quickly. There will be many colleagues from other countries coming soon, and it will be difficult to take care of you when there are too many people. I’m already cooperating with Starlight Technology and have some influence there. If you come now, I’ll take you to verify it personally.”

Zhao Jilong: “Okay! I’ll charter a car right now!”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Jilong immediately called all the experts and academicians in the materials science field at the Dragon Academy of Sciences, urging them to rush to Haicheng to personally verify the authenticity of Starlight Technology’s room-temperature superconducting materials.

It’s seven o’clock in the evening, but major media outlets dare not leave work, working overtime to prepare articles and produce the next day’s newspapers and magazines.

At eight o’clock, Dragon News Agency took the lead in publishing a special article reporting on Starlight Technology’s research results on room-temperature superconducting materials.

However, their attitude was not very affirmative, and they still retained some doubts.

“What is false cannot be true, and what is true cannot be false. We will wait for experts from all over the world to verify and give their answers!”

Subsequently, Science and Technology Daily, People’s Daily, Finance and Economics News, Sheep TV News Channel, and others all released special articles on their official Weibo [Chinese social media platform] and other social media accounts.

Under the reports of these official media, the news that Starlight Technology had developed room-temperature superconducting materials quickly spread to foreign countries.

After receiving the news, foreign media immediately reprinted the special articles from Dragon Country’s official media to inform their citizens.

Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and other international social platforms are also rapidly spreading the news about room-temperature superconducting materials, and netizens from all over the world have joined the discussion.

Korean netizens: Haha… This is definitely fake news. I would rather believe that the universe belongs to our country than believe that Starlight Technology has developed room-temperature superconducting materials. Our country’s research team also claimed to have developed room-temperature superconducting materials not long ago, but it was quickly proven false. Therefore, I firmly believe that Starlight Technology is also using this trick, just a gimmick.

Indian netizens: Not accepting applications from experts from the US and its friendly countries, it is well known that our India is not a friendly country with the US. We don’t take them seriously at all. As an Asian country, especially a strong country in East Asia, our relationship with Dragon Country has always been very good. Therefore, our researchers should be able to get valuable spots.

Bear Country netizens: Starlight Technology again? Yang Chen again? How strong is he? He must not be from Earth. I’m sure he’s from a higher-dimensional civilization who accidentally came to Earth, otherwise, how could he come up with so many great inventions one after another! We and Dragon Country are good friends with our backs to each other. Our researchers will definitely get a spot, so people all over the world should understand one thing: the rise of Dragon Country is unstoppable, and only by having a good relationship with them can we rise together. By the way, banning researchers from the US and its friendly countries from applying for spots is a very correct decision because they have been destroying world stability. Other countries will definitely use controlled nuclear fusion to solve energy problems, while the US and its allies will use this great invention for weapons. The Earth’s troublemaker is not a false name.

US netizens comment: I hope this news is not true, God bless it must not be true. I understand Starlight Technology’s idea. They want to use this great invention to force our country to unfreeze Starlight Investment’s hundreds of billions of US dollars in wealth. If we are really threatened and compromise, we will lose face all over the world. It’s all the fault of the capitalists in Wall Street and the medical device industry. If they hadn’t come up with the bad idea to freeze Starlight Investment’s funds,

Starlight Technology would not have been so blatant in banning our researchers from participating in the verification!

Island Country [Japan] netizens comment: Anyone who knows a little about history knows that our country has been a student of Dragon Country since ancient times. Our country was once named by the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Zetian [China’s only female emperor]. So, it is reasonable for students to learn some advanced technologies and fresh scientific research results from teachers, right?

Another Island Country netizen commented: Dad, what do we do now? We are also implicated by you. It is so sad that we, as an East Asian country, cannot enjoy such scientific research results!

…

The discussions of the media and netizens are not important. The key is to see how the relevant government departments of various countries express their views.

Everyone in the world can see that the only reason why Starlight Technology specifically does not allow researchers from the US and its allied countries to apply for spots is that Starlight Investment’s hundreds of billions of US dollars in assets have been frozen.

Therefore, the Dragon Country immediately arranged for someone to contact the US to discuss the unfreezing of Starlight Investment’s frozen assets.

If this problem cannot be solved, then the ITER [International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor] agreement can only be a piece of waste paper.

The capitalists in Wall Street and the US medical device industry are worried that the federal government will unfreeze Starlight Investment’s funds, so they immediately joined forces to put pressure on their government, no matter what, they cannot unfreeze Starlight Investment’s funds.

However, the experts in the US scientific research community are not happy. Researchers in the fields of materials science and controlled nuclear fusion took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the capitalists in Wall Street and the medical device industry.

For example, Marshall Conner, an authoritative expert in the US controlled nuclear fusion industry, publicly denounced Wall Street and the medical device industry in a television interview.

“There are many capitalists in our country who only care about their own face and interests, completely disregarding the interests of the country. These fools only have profits, profits, profits in their eyes, but they don’t know what it will mean once controlled nuclear fusion becomes a reality. I can now share with them how powerful the Dragon Country will be in the future. They can manufacture space-based aircraft carriers hundreds of meters wide to fly in space, even in the universe, and can use their nuclear-powered space fighters to overlook every corner of the Earth at any time. If there is anything in any corner that does not conform to the interests of the Dragon Country, they can launch particle acceleration cannons, laser weapons, etc., ignoring any defense system on Earth and accurately destroying the threat. So, what is the meaning of that string of numbers in the banking system at that time? When the Dragon Country people manufacture spaceships and lead the Dragon Country people to interstellar immigration, we are still fighting for the little remaining resources on Earth. So, what is the meaning of those profits? I advise some capitalists not to be too selfish, not to be too greedy, not to be unable to afford to lose, and not to drag all Americans to bear this terrible consequence with you.”

Although many experts are just talking heads, the influence of most authoritative experts is still very strong.

Marshall Conner’s television speech quickly received the support of scientific researchers across the country. They jointly petitioned the federal government to immediately unfreeze Starlight Investment’s funds to help them obtain the opportunity to go to Starlight Technology to personally verify the authenticity of room-temperature superconducting materials.

No matter what country it is, the people will always support scientific research because everyone understands one thing: technological progress is the fundamental guarantee of a country’s strength, and what ordinary people hate must be capitalists.

Therefore, large-scale demonstrations broke out in the US, demanding that the federal government immediately unfreeze Starlight Investment’s funds and apply for an invitation from Starlight Technology for the country’s scientific research experts.

That night, the US sent a notice to the Dragon Country that all of Starlight Investment’s funds would be unfrozen within two days, hoping that Starlight Investment could issue invitations to researchers from the US and its allies.

At this time, Yang Chen was already on a flight to Jinbai [Dubai]. As soon as he landed, he received a call from Li Daming, chairman of Starlight Technology Group.

Li Daming reported the news from the US to Yang Chen and asked him how to respond.

Yang Chen: “Unfreeze Starlight Investment’s funds, withdraw all funds safely, and Starlight Technology Group will allow them to apply.”

Li Daming: “Okay. Then I will reply to them like this.”

Subsequently, Starlight Investment issued an announcement.

“Our company has gradually transferred all funds back from the US market. Thank you to the friends who are following our company.”

Although this announcement is very short, it is of great significance. It can be seen from the netizens’ comments.

“Understood, understood, congratulations to Boss Yang for winning again.”

“Haha… Boss Yang is still awesome, easily getting the money back. It is estimated that he had already thought about the problems he might encounter when dealing with the Wall Street alliance, and he had prepared countermeasures in advance.”

“See? Technology can only uphold justice when it is in the hands of civilization. Fortunately, technology is in the hands of civilization.”

“The Wall Street gang has completely lost face. They can’t beat Boss Yang with real swords and guns, so they play dirty tricks, but they didn’t succeed in playing dirty tricks, and they lost even more face. Is Boss Yang’s money so easy to scheme against?”

…

At this time, Yang Chen and Maya met at the airport exit. Maya, regardless of her country’s etiquette and religious beliefs, rushed up and hugged Yang Chen and kissed him.

This kind of behavior is normal in Dragon Country, the US, Europe, and other countries with high levels of civilization, but it is not allowed in the Middle East. However, Maya couldn’t care so much. Her longing had already controlled her reason.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, “Have you been waiting long?”

Maya: “I haven’t been waiting long. You’ve worked hard. Are you staying at my house or at a hotel?”

Yang Chen: “Let’s go to a hotel, it’s more private.”

Maya: “Okay! Then I’ll take you to Prince Haveed’s newly built Jinbai Palace Hotel.”

Yang Chen: “The name sounds very impressive, I have to go and see it.”

The two quickly got into the car and went straight to the Jinbai Palace Hotel.

According to Maya, this hotel used to be the office of the King of the UAE, a veritable palace.

When the king changed his office location last October, it was vacated, so Haveed transformed it into a palace hotel.

Jinbai already has a seven-star 帆船 [Dhow-shaped] hotel. After all, this palace hotel was transformed from the king’s office, so the star rating must not be lower than the 帆船 hotel, so Haveed set it as an eight-star hotel.

But to be honest, compared to the two, the 帆船 hotel is more upscale, and its location in Jinbai Bay determines that it must be better than the Palace Hotel.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Palace Hotel, and the waiter hurried forward to open the door.

Yang Chen got out of the car, looked up at the magnificent hotel exterior, and couldn’t help but nod and praise: “It has to be you Middle Eastern tycoons. Is the outside gilded [covered in a thin layer of gold]?”

Maya: “Yes, the hotel’s signboard is made of pure gold. Because it is defined as an eight-star hotel, it will definitely cost a little more.”

Yang Chen: “You guys really know how to enjoy yourselves. I have so much gold in the bank, I never thought I could play like this.”

Maya: “Hehe… Let’s go, let’s go in.”

Yang Chen put his arm around Maya and walked into the hotel, booking an entire floor of the hotel.

Because there may be some conflicts this time, in order to ensure Yang Chen’s safety, Starlight Defense sent 20 escorts, booking an entire floor of the hotel to facilitate the bodyguards to protect Yang Chen’s safety.

Yang Chen chose the middle room, and the bodyguards stayed in the rooms on both sides.

From the corridor and elevator entrance to the end of the corridor, there are bodyguards on duty. The 20 bodyguards take turns on duty, and the two presidential suites are enough for them to take turns to rest.

The bodyguards put Yang Chen’s luggage in the room, and then searched the area with instruments to ensure that there were no eavesdropping, candid photography, or other dangerous items before they all left.

Maya couldn’t wait to pounce into Yang Chen’s arms to express her longing. Before long, the two were entangled with each other.

A little while later, just as Yang Chen was about to reach for the condom on the bedside table, Maya grabbed his hand, her face flushed, and whispered, “Chen, can you give me a child? It would be nice to have a child to accompany me in the days you’re not here. And you’re 31 years old, it’s time to have a child.”

To be honest, Yang Chen is indeed at the age to have children.

Before, when Yang Chen was alone at home eating New Year’s Eve dinner, he wanted to have children, but he had been too busy since then.

Having Maya give birth to a mixed-race child is indeed a good choice, but Yang Chen cannot accept Maya raising the child alone here, and the child cannot be without a father’s company after birth.

The most critical issue is that women have a relatively low status here, and it involves religious beliefs and other issues. If Maya becomes pregnant out of wedlock, she will encounter a lot of trouble, and may even be harmed by extremists.

Yang Chen: “I’ll talk to your brother later. Having a child is not something you can do impulsively. We have to think about the series of problems we might face later.”

Maya: “Okay! Actually, you don’t have to listen to my brother’s opinion. I can not give him face now. With your relationship, no one dares to touch me.”

Yang Chen: “I’m not talking about this… Let me talk to him and then decide.”

Maya: “Okay then.”

Yang Chen: “If you want a child, you must come back to Dragon Country with me. I have to be with you when you are pregnant, and the child must see his father and mother as soon as he is born.”

Maya nodded with a smile and said, “Okay! I’ll listen to your arrangements. So, now, please fulfill your obligations as a boyfriend.”

Yang Chen grinned happily, pulled the quilt over the two of them.

Two hours later, Yang Chen and Maya finished dinner.

It’s not easy to come to Jinbai, so you have to go out and take a look.

The bodyguards led the way, and Yang Chen went out with Maya in his arms.

As soon as they walked out of the hotel, the bodyguards “disappeared” into the crowd. Yang Chen and Maya looked around like ordinary tourists. Those bodyguards hidden in the crowd were always vigilant around them to ensure that no suspicious people approached them.

The old king is lying on the sickbed dying. It would not be surprising if any unexpected changes occur at this critical moment.

Although Maya is just a woman, she represents Yang Chen in controlling Jinbai Oil and Gas Company, and she and her brother Lanheed are both loyal supporters of Crown Prince Haveed. It is hard to guarantee that she will not become the target of some people.
