I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

"Thank you for your generous gift!"

Upon hearing Yang Chen's offer, Raytheon CEO Hayes, who was watching the live stream, couldn't help but curse.

The civilian version of Raytheon's single-soldier flying machine costs around 10 Eagle Coins to produce, while Yang Chen's only costs 4.9 Eagle Coins. How the hell can you even play with that?
Even if they moved the factory to countries like Mexico and South Vietnam, the cost could not be reduced to below 7 Eagle Dollars. No matter what they did, a selling price of 4.9 Eagle Dollars was an extremely low price that they could not achieve.

At this moment, the top executives of Bald Eagle, who were also watching the live broadcast, were also shocked.

"This is outrageous! How can their prices be so low? Don't they need to make a profit?"

"That's their advantage: all kinds of costs are very low. In particular, Yang Chen has laid out the entire industrial chain of production, so he can provide himself with raw materials and parts, making the cost extremely low. We can never compete with them in terms of cost. In the past, we could use technological content to make up for the price disadvantage, but now we still can't compete with them in terms of price, and we can't even compete with them in terms of technological content. Compared with them, we no longer have any advantage."

"Wrong! We still have advantages. At least we control the international discourse. We can still get our allies to sell our products and not buy theirs. At this point, we have to take tough measures to force them to buy our products. If anyone disobeys, we will teach them a lesson."

Their words revealed their anxiety and helplessness; they had absolutely no way to deal with Yang Chen.

They can't compete head-on, and they can't go too far with underhanded tactics, otherwise Yang Chen might really mess with them. But underhanded tactics are ineffective, so now they can only complain behind closed doors like wronged women.

After summarizing everyone's opinions, the leader decided to use a strategy of forcing allies to purchase Raytheon's aircraft and prohibiting them from purchasing Yang Chen's aircraft in order to deal with this challenge.

This time, the leader of the bald eagle personally called its allies and subordinates, clearly demanding that they act in accordance with the bald eagle's orders. If they dare to disobey or even refuse, the bald eagle will strike and sanction them from multiple aspects, including the economy, finance, and military.

Just as the leader of the Bald Eagle was making a phone call to threaten allies and underlings, top salesman Nelson was discussing with Yang Chen the matter of rebranding individual soldier aircraft.

“Mr. Yang, we’ve cooperated so many times, you shouldn’t doubt my sincerity and ability. Raytheon’s affiliates are quite capable, but the relationships I’ve cultivated are equally powerful. If they try to stop us from making money, we have ways to stop them from making money. This situation is for the best; they make their money, we make ours. The military-industrial complex is very powerful, but our financial capital also controls half of the bald eagle’s empire. Either we each make our own money, or no one makes any money. If you were in my shoes, would you choose to stop everyone from making money?” Nelson said very patiently.

The two had been talking for half an hour. Yang Chen was worried that if Nelson were to produce another rebranded aircraft, it would cause a rift between them, which would mean Yang Chen would lose a top salesperson.

Since Nelson said so, Yang Chen chose to trust his abilities and hoped that he wouldn't lose such a top salesperson.

“Alright, I choose to trust your abilities. Get ready to place your order. There’s not much room for price reduction, because my original intention was to squeeze Thor’s products out of the market with low prices. I can only offer you a 10% discount from the official retail price. As for how much you can sell it for, that’s up to you. We won’t interfere; we’ll only handle shipping and receiving payment,” Yang Chen said.

Nelson immediately replied happily, "No problem! As long as you can guarantee priority supply, you can give me the retail price. Can you guarantee that?"

"Well... I'm afraid that's a bit difficult. We need to prioritize supplying goods here in Jiangcheng, and we also need goods in Leyard and Doha, so we really can't prioritize supplying you," Yang Chen said.

Nelson immediately said, "That won't do. Securing the market early on is crucial. If you can't prioritize my supply, how can I compete with Raytheon? How about this: your retail price is 4.9 Eagle Dollars, right? I'll give you 6 Eagle Dollars per set, and you prioritize ensuring I have a sufficient supply. Is that okay?"

"But my purpose in setting a low price is to phase out Raytheon's aircraft. How can I phase them out if the price is too high?" Yang Chen asked.

Nelson replied, "Even if you sell it to me for 1 Eagle Coin per set, I'll still sell it for 10 Eagle Coins per set. I want to sell it at Raytheon's cost price, which will ensure that I can eliminate their products while maintaining a high profit margin. So, whether you sell it to me for 4.9 Eagle Coins per set or 6 Eagle Coins per set, there will be no difference in the retail price; I'm just giving you a portion of my profit. Do you understand what I mean?"

With just a few casual words, Yang Chen managed to probe Nelson's intentions.

"Haha... I understand. Okay, I'll pay the workers overtime and have them work overtime to ensure you have enough goods on your end," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Nielsen happily replied, "Okay, okay, 6 Eagle Dollars per set, I'll place the order right away. Put our logo on the product, and I'll finalize the packaging design as soon as possible and send it to you. Send me the first batch of 1000 sets by air; I need to secure the customers first, and then ship the rest to them gradually."

Yang Chen replied, "Okay, I've got it."

Yang Chen hung up the phone and happily hummed a little tune.

Chen Xi, who was doing prenatal exercises nearby, asked with a smile, "Is it settled? Can Nelson really handle the higher-ups?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "It should be fine. That's how the U.S. is. On the one hand, they clamor for sanctions against Russia and forbid other countries from buying Russian goods, while on the other hand, they secretly purchase Russian oil and natural gas and sell them to Europe at high prices. They talk about morality and righteousness, but behind the scenes, it's all about business. If Nelson wants to make this money, let's support him."

Chen Xi nodded, stretched out her hand and said, "Come on, give me a hand. I want to go for a walk. Will you come with me to the court?"

Yang Chen quickly ran over and picked Chen Xi up. The two changed their clothes and shoes and went for a walk on the golf course behind the villa.

The two had only been gone a short while when Prince Holdan of the Sand Kingdom called Yang Chen.

"Haha... Mr. Yang, congratulations! You're going to be a father soon. When your son is born, I'll definitely send him a little golden statue as a gift." Holdan said with a smile.

This opening remark was rather audacious, but Yang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you. No need for the golden statuette, your verbal blessing is enough."

Holdan replied, "Absolutely, this is His Highness the Crown Prince's wish. After all, he is Mr. Yang's eldest son, and our future cooperation is at stake. Of course, we must maintain a good relationship with the eldest son from the very beginning."

Good heavens, they're already thinking about things 30 years from now. Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Just because of the friendship between His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Holdan, we must maintain a good cooperative relationship."

Holdan immediately said, "Haha... Mr. Yang is right, so we urgently need 1 individual soldier flying vehicles. Can Mr. Yang ship them to us immediately? If we have a good experience, we will place an order for the military version later. In addition to equipping our own troops, we will also send some to the troops of our brother countries. Although we haven't determined how many we need yet, we are sure the quantity will be considerable."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I knew you'd want it, so I prepared it for you a long time ago. Is it by air or sea?"

Holdan immediately replied, "Air freight is the way to go; we can't wait for sea freight. The price is so cheap, and even with air freight, it's not much. We're willing to cover the cost. I'll place the order right away. When can we arrange shipment?"

"I don't know the flight status within 3 days after payment, so I can't guarantee immediate shipment," Yang Chen said.

There aren't enough goods in the warehouse, so we can only rush to produce some in these 3 days to make up 1 sets for the Sand Kingdom.

Holdan said, "Okay, we'll wait for the delivery! That's all for now, I'll place the order right away."

If the Sand Kingdom is eager to equip itself, then neighboring Qatar must want it too.

Sure enough, Yang Chen had just returned from a walk with Chen Xi when Qatari leader Raib sent him a video call request.

Raib initially congratulated Yang Chen on becoming a father soon. Perhaps it's a common practice there to give gold as a gift, so he also offered to give Yang Chen a small golden statue that weighs the same as his eldest son when he is born.

Yang Chen said happily, "Haha... Thank you, thank you. Mr. Raib is too kind. A verbal blessing is enough; there's no need for an Oscar."

Raib immediately said, "That won't do! We don't offer verbal blessings here. If we say we'll give a golden statuette, then we must give it. After all, it concerns our cooperation for the next hundred years, so of course we need to be mindful of social etiquette."

Yang Chen asked, "Haha...whether or not there's an Oscar won't affect our cooperation. Mr. Raib, is there something you need from me?"

Raib nodded and said, "We are very interested in Mr. Yang's individual flying device. We would like to buy 1000 sets to try it out first. If we feel it is good and there are no major safety issues, we will then purchase a large quantity of civilian and military versions. Can Mr. Yang airlift 1000 sets to us?"

Yang Chen had been secretly testing the technology to avoid leaking information because he was afraid of the current situation. Both the Sand Kingdom and Qatar wanted to obtain it immediately, but he wanted the people of Jiangcheng to use the individual flying devices first. This put him in a difficult position.

Nielsen still needs a large supply, and with the addition of goods from the Saudi Arabian Peninsula and Qatar, Jiangcheng has to postpone its orders. After all, Yang Chen is focusing on overseas markets, so he must prioritize meeting the needs of these long-term clients.

Yang Chen immediately replied, "Of course, I'll definitely prioritize meeting the needs of you old partners. The Sand Kingdom needs 1 sets, which I'll also airlift there. I'll airlift your goods to Liad along with theirs, and then deliver them to you. Is that alright?"

Raib replied, "Sure. We just need to receive the goods as soon as possible. Mr. Yang can handle everything. I'll place the order right away and wait for delivery."

"No problem! It will be shipped within three days," Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Yang Chen hung up the phone, turned off all communication devices, and focused on helping Chen Xi with prenatal education. New parents are all like this, always trying to do everything they can. If they had more pregnancies, they wouldn't be like this.

A few days later, the Sand Kingdom and Qatar were the first to receive the goods. Sihai Intelligent thoughtfully sent staff to teach them how to use it, so that these wealthy people could quickly become proficient in "flying on swords".

Crown Prince Salman of the Sand Kingdom uploaded a video to his personal social media account, in which he rode a smart flying vehicle that flew back and forth in the air. He could control the flying vehicle to change its direction and accelerate or decelerate with just his thoughts.

The video quickly went viral on platforms such as YouTube, with netizens from various countries leaving comments.

Japanese netizens commented: Yang Chen's products are of higher quality and have higher technological content. The smooth changes in direction and speed are something that Raytheon's aircraft simply cannot compare to.

A South Korean netizen commented: "To be honest, I'm really tempted by this. I've decided to temporarily set aside my prejudices and buy one to play with first. Given Chairman Lee's relationship with Yang Chen, we'll definitely be able to buy this aircraft domestically very soon."

A netizen from the White-headed Eagle forum commented: "I'm so confused. Why is it always his product quality that's higher? Every time, we put in so much effort to promote how good our products are, how high their technology is, and in the end, it just helps Yang Chen generate buzz and make his products even more popular. Without a doubt, Yang Chen's aircraft will soon become a bestseller. That damn Nelson is probably already doing OEM production again. Those idiots in the White House always make us buy products that others can buy for much less at much higher prices. I really want to immigrate to China, but unfortunately, I can't get a green card there."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "I told you long ago we'd definitely get priority in buying this aircraft. After all, we're Yang Chen's excellent partner! I suggest the people of the Bald Eagles be more realistic and rational, and don't be fooled by those politicians. Why spend ten times the price on a backward product from Raytheon when you can buy a better product for a tenth of the price?"

A Qatari netizen shared: "I also bought a Sihai Flying Machine, and they even thoughtfully sent experts to guide us on how to use it. I just piloted it for a spin in the sky, and it felt amazing! I used to do wingsuit flying, but now I'm switching to sword flying. This is much safer; you only need to use your mind to control its direction and speed. It's completely autonomous and reliable, much safer than wingsuit flying. I strongly recommend everyone buy one, even if it's just a few people pooling their money."

At this moment, in the president's office of Raytheon Corporation.

President Hayes felt terrible as he watched netizens praising the Four Seas Flying Machine in the comments section of Salman's video.

"Fuck! This is unbelievable! How did they manage to make this product so mind-controlled? It's incredible! I'm fucking tempted to buy one and try it out myself," Hayes muttered to himself.

Just then, the marketing manager rushed in.

"Mr. President, this is terrible! Several countries have sent cancellation notices. They're not going to buy our aircraft anymore because Nelson has aircraft comparable to those produced by Yang Chen's company, and they only cost 10 Eagle Dollars. We're in big trouble! The factory is working overtime to finish production, and we already have 10 sets in the warehouse ready to be shipped. We're going to be stuck with them all!" (End of Chapter)
