How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 695

695. Impossible, How Could Yang Chen Create a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, appreciating the contrast his actions created compared to his peers.

Raising his voice, Yang Chen announced, “Kids, who wants to see Velociraptors or a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Anyone interested in seeing a Tyrannosaurus Rex, sign up now! I’ll take you to see one. The first group gets to watch for free!”

Velociraptors couldn’t possibly compete with the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex. As soon as the children heard about the free Tyrannosaurus Rex viewing, they stampeded over.

“Uncle, I want to see it! I want to see it!”

“I want to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex too!”

“Uncle, is it really free?”

“If it’s really free, thank you so much, Uncle!”

…

Yang Chen smiled. “You see how big I am; would I deceive children? You…”

Before Yang Chen could finish, the scalpers surged forward, surrounding him.

“Bro, what do you think you’re doing?!”

“Why don’t you just claim you have aliens? A Tyrannosaurus Rex! Do you know how rare these two Velociraptors are? They were created by an American experimental team after a ton of hard work. Only the United States has that kind of capability, understand?”

“Bro, cutting off someone’s financial path is like killing their parents. Have you thought about the consequences? We’ve invested a lot of money hoarding tickets. If you make us lose everything, we don’t mind taking you down with us.”

…

Yang Chen was never one to back down from threats. His bodyguards immediately stepped forward, pushing the scalpers away.

Seeing Yang Chen’s strong bodyguards, the scalpers grew scared and didn’t dare to say anything harsh.

Just then, a team emerged from the ticket office, including people from Dragon Country [China] and foreigners.

Seeing the commotion, a small, elderly foreigner asked in English, “What’s going on? A fight?”

The organizer’s manager, Cao Wei, recognized the scalpers and guessed they were arguing over ticket sales.

Cao Wei said with a smile, “It’s just a minor conflict over queuing for tickets. Mr. Smith, don’t worry about them; let’s go take a look around.”

Smith chuckled. “Then I have to go see and thank them for queuing up to buy tickets to see the Velociraptors.”

Cao Wei couldn’t stop Smith, so he followed him.

Smith approached and inquired about the situation.

The scalpers’ ticket hoarding, which made it impossible for many ordinary people to afford tickets, angered Smith. What made him even angrier was that Yang Chen was seemingly trying to sabotage the event and deceive people.

“Sir, are you deliberately trying to sabotage this event?” Smith asked.

Cao Wei quickly translated Smith’s words. Yang Chen smiled. “No need to translate; I understand.”

Then, Yang Chen spoke to Smith in English.

“I’m not deliberately trying to cause trouble. I just happened to be dropping off a customer and saw this. It’s great that you created Velociraptors, and a Velociraptor exhibition is a good thing, but front-row tickets cost 30,000 [currency not specified, but assumed to be local currency, likely Yuan], and ordinary tickets cost 3,000. Don’t you think that’s outrageous? Even in your country, not many people can afford that,” Yang Chen said.

The average American’s salary is only about 3,000 US dollars, and after taxes and insurance, they take home even less.

Even if you convert it using the exchange rate, Americans would hesitate to spend more than 400 US dollars for a ticket to bring their children to see Velociraptors.

Cao Wei immediately retorted, “There’s no problem with our pricing. The scalpers bought the tickets and are reselling them at a higher price, which has nothing to do with us. But you’re talking nonsense about having a Tyrannosaurus Rex for them to see. Isn’t that deliberately trying to sabotage us? If you really had a Tyrannosaurus Rex, I might consider you a competitor trying to steal customers. But where are you going to get a Tyrannosaurus Rex for them to see?”

“What a coincidence! I really do have a Tyrannosaurus Rex for them to see! Kids who want to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex can go home now. We’ll exhibit the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the same day as the Velociraptor exhibition, in the exhibition hall next to theirs. I just want to show everyone that what foreigners can do, we Dragon Country people can do too,” Yang Chen announced loudly.

Cao Wei sneered. “Listen to the bragging. May I ask your name, sir, since you’re so arrogant?”

“My name is Yang Chen; others call me Boss Yang. Boss Yang never brags, and he always delivers on his promises. Everyone, go home and come see the Tyrannosaurus Rex tomorrow!” Yang Chen said.

Then, Yang Chen got into his car and left, escorted by his bodyguards.

“Ah, he’s actually Boss Yang!”

“Is it real? He’s Yang Chen? Does Yang Chen really drive a ride-hailing car? I thought that was just an unofficial rumor.”

“It must be him; otherwise, which ride-hailing driver would be so rich, traveling with several bodyguards?”

“I thought Boss Yang was just an ordinary rich person, but I didn’t expect him to have such abilities.”

“I think it’s impossible. How could Boss Yang have a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Where would he get one? I think he just saw that the children were too noisy and kindly helped us out. Everyone, don’t get your hopes up too high; just take it with a grain of salt.”

…

The scalpers panicked. If Yang Chen was telling the truth, the tickets they had hoarded would be worthless, and they would lose everything, working for nothing for years.

Cao Wei whispered to Smith.

“Mr. Smith, do you think he might really have a Tyrannosaurus Rex to exhibit?” Cao Wei asked. Smith shook his head confidently. “Impossible! Our team’s technology in this area is the only one in the world. It’s impossible for any other team to have such technology. He’s just comforting the children.”

Cao Wei nodded with a smile. “Mr. Smith is right.”

Then, Cao Wei addressed the children and their parents. “Let me introduce you to Mr. Rubio Smith, the owner of the Smith Laboratory in the United States. He just told me that only their laboratory in the world has this technology, and no one else can have it. It’s not even certain that the person just now was Boss Yang. Even if he is Boss Yang, he can’t have this technology. In fact, you should all realize that he just wants to comfort the children. Children can believe this kind of talk, but adults should just listen and not really believe it.”

The scalpers were instantly revived and immediately encouraged the children to ask their parents to buy tickets.

“Kids, did you hear that? The uncle just now was just trying to make you happy. He doesn’t have a Tyrannosaurus Rex for you to see.”

“That’s right! Quickly ask your mom and dad to buy tickets, or you won’t see the dinosaurs.”

“Other children have seen dinosaurs, but you haven’t. You won’t have common topics with them in the future. Other classmates will be discussing dinosaurs, but you won’t be able to join in.”

…

The parents didn’t care whether the person just now was Yang Chen or whether there really was a Tyrannosaurus Rex to see. They just needed an excuse to take the children away and stop them from throwing tantrums.

Therefore, the parents insisted that the person just now was Yang Chen and that Yang Chen wouldn’t lie.

“The person just now was Yang Chen; the license plate number is correct. Boss Yang can create quantum chips and room-temperature superconductors that even foreigners haven’t created, so creating a Tyrannosaurus Rex is perfectly reasonable.”

“That’s right! Boss Yang can’t lie and deceive people. If he says there’s a Tyrannosaurus Rex to see, then there must be a Tyrannosaurus Rex to see.”

“You scalpers can keep your tickets for yourselves. Serves you right for doing such immoral things; may you lose everything!”

“Yaya, let’s go. Mom will take you to eat McDonald’s, and we’ll come see the Tyrannosaurus Rex for free tomorrow!”

…

At that moment, the staff of the exhibition company responsible for the Tyrannosaurus Rex exhibition came out. They put up banners and advertising signs in conspicuous places at the entrance of the venue and between the trees on the roadside.

The parents immediately happily pointed them out to their children.

“Yaya, look! There really is a Tyrannosaurus Rex exhibition!”

“The person just now was really Boss Yang, and what he said was true. There really is a Tyrannosaurus Rex to see for free.”

“Great! There’s a free Tyrannosaurus Rex to see; who wants to see a 30,000 [currency not specified, but assumed to be local currency, likely Yuan] Velociraptor?”

“Haha… some black-hearted scalpers are going to lose everything.”

…

The scalpers panicked completely. They quickly went forward to ask the staff of the exhibition company if there really was a Tyrannosaurus Rex exhibition.

“Of course! Otherwise, why would we spend money on these advertisements? It will be exhibited with the Velociraptor next door tomorrow. No tickets are required, and admission is free for a limited time. Each wave of tourists will leave after 10 minutes of viewing, and another wave will enter to watch. The main thing is that it’s free, so as many people as possible can see the Tyrannosaurus Rex,” the staff replied.

One of the scalpers immediately asked, “Which company created the Tyrannosaurus Rex? Are they crazy? They’re giving it away for free; how do they make money?”

The staff smiled and replied, “Boss Yang’s company. Does he need to make money through this method? He just wants the people of Dragon Country to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex, that’s all.”

The scalpers were dumbfounded. Sure enough, the poor cannot understand the world of the rich.

But they were finished; the Velociraptor tickets in their hands were truly worthless.

“Hey, kid? Didn’t you want a ticket just now? I’ll sell it to you at the original price of 1,000 [currency not specified, but assumed to be local currency, likely Yuan], how about it?”

“I’ll give you 20% off! 20% off for all tickets!”

“I’m selling at half price! Hurry up if you want to buy; there are only 100 tickets left.”

…

Now it was the parents’ and children’s turn to mock the scalpers.

“I don’t want it even if it’s free. There’s a Tyrannosaurus Rex to see; who wants to see a Velociraptor?”

“You should keep it for yourselves; we don’t need it.”

“Haha… where’s the arrogant and domineering energy from just now? Why are you lowering the price now? Continue to increase the price!”

“Fortunately, we met Boss Yang; otherwise, the children would have been sad for many days. Now it’s good; we’ll come early tomorrow to line up and try to take the children in to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex.”

…

Just now, the tickets were sold at three times the price, take it or leave it.

Now, no one wants them even if they’re given away for free. The difference was immense.

Cao Wei quickly told Smith about the situation.

Smith immediately said with a serious face, “Impossible! No other team in this world can extract genes from amber to clone dinosaurs except us! It’s fake; it must be fake!”
