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

The bald eagle only requires its underlings and allies to buy bald eagle aircraft, but doesn't say they have to buy Raytheon aircraft.

Now that Nelson has offered an even better aircraft, priced at only 10 Eagle Dollars per set, the Bald Eagle's underlings and allies naturally canceled their purchase contracts with Raytheon and turned to Nelson instead.

Raytheon CEO Hayes immediately called Nielsen.

“Mr. Nelson, what the hell do you mean? Why are you trying to steal our clients?” Hayes questioned him directly.

Nelson immediately retorted, "Fuck! What's wrong with you? When did I steal your client?"

Hayes said, "You still won't admit it? We've already reached agreements with Japan, South Korea, and various European countries, and now they've all canceled those agreements, saying they want to buy better, cheaper aircraft from you. You call this not stealing our customers?"

Nelson chuckled and said, "Oh, you mean this? I didn't really steal your customers. I just sent them some samples to evaluate our product quality, pointing out areas for improvement so we could make it even better. After seeing them, they all thought our products were perfect and flawless, so they asked me for a price. Do you think I could refuse? If you were in my shoes, you would have quoted a price too. I quoted 10 Eagle Dollars per unit, and they all said it was too cheap and insisted on buying from me. Do you think I could refuse to sell to customers who want to buy?"

"Nonsense, pure nonsense! Don't think I don't know where your aircraft came from. Don't force me to expose you!" Hayes said angrily.

Nelson laughed and said, "Mr. Hayes, don't try to scare me with those words. If you really frighten me, I will consult with my partners to come up with a solution. If that causes you any trouble, don't say that I'm deliberately causing you trouble."

Hayes chuckled coldly and asked, "What, are you threatening me?"

"Not exactly a threat, but definitely a warning. Anything else? If not, I'll hang up now. I still need to discuss the contract with my client. Haha..." Nelson said smugly.

Hayes really couldn't do anything about Nelson, but he definitely wouldn't let it go so easily.

“Don’t be too happy yet. If you can take them away, I can take them back! Just you wait and see!” Hayes said.

Nelson laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let's see who can ultimately win their order based on their own abilities. Haha..."

Nelson hung up the phone with a victor's mentality.

Hayes was so angry that he started cursing. After he finished cursing, he called the White House to complain that Nelson was stealing his clients.

“You have to step in and stop Nelson’s excessive behavior. We can’t let him steal our customers. You know his products aren’t developed and manufactured by him. If we let him take those orders, it’s like helping Yang Chen make money. We’ve always wanted to beat Yang Chen, so we can’t help him ship his products,” Hayes said bluntly.

The leader of the Bald Eagle immediately replied, "I understand your reasoning, but there's nothing we can do right now. If we don't let them make money, they won't let us. It's also difficult for me in this position; I have to maintain a balance between the interests of the military-industrial complex and the financial sector. Anyway, this isn't the first time we've lost, so it's not a big deal. Sell as much as you can; the government won't interfere."

Hayes asked excitedly, "How can that be? You said you wanted to promote our product, so we've been doing this huge publicity campaign. In the end, we've become Yang Chen's foil, letting the whole world know that his product has higher technology, more reliable quality, and is even cheaper than our cost price. Isn't this just advertising for him?"

The leader of the Bald Eagle chuckled, then calmly said, "If you insist on thinking this way, there's nothing I can do. In short, Nelson's shipment is the result of our negotiations. If we make concessions to them here, they will make concessions to us in other areas. As long as we don't suffer losses overall, that's fine. I hope you can consider the bigger picture. Okay?"

Raytheon has become a laughing stock for netizens worldwide, so how could Hayes possibly be thinking about the bigger picture?

“I’m very sorry, but I simply can’t consider the bigger picture. My company and I have become a laughingstock worldwide. If we can’t deliver outstanding results, we will be forever branded with shame. I cannot accept this outcome. You must at least make them share half of our company’s orders. Even if it’s just protection money for them, they have to buy half.”

The tycoon's tone turned grim. He sneered and said, "Mr. Hayes, President Hayes, I'll say it one last time: I hope you can consider the bigger picture and not disrupt the balance of interests among all parties. If you insist on disrupting this delicate balance, your end will certainly not be good."

Hayes' eyes cleared instantly after being warned by his boss, and his mind calmed down. He quickly apologized and apologized to his boss.

However, he still wanted his boss to allocate half of the orders to Raytheon. If that wasn't possible, he wanted to allocate half, a third, or even a quarter. In short, he wanted to give them some orders to help them clear their inventory.

The leader of the Bald Eagle said, "I will try my best to help you get some orders, but don't have too high hopes. After all, the goods from Nielsen are indeed more advanced and cheaper. Even if those countries are afraid of us, they are unlikely to give you too many orders."

Hayes quickly said, "Every little bit helps, it's better than having it all stuck in our hands. We have tens of thousands of units in stock, and we'll lose a lot of money if we don't clear them out."

The leader of the bald eagles then said, "Okay, I understand. I've always been curious about one thing: why is it that every time Yang Chen announces the technological content of his products, the price is still lower? Can you explain this to me from your own experience?"

Hayes replied, "I can't answer your question about technological content, because I'm also curious why he's always several versions ahead. As for the price, do you even need to ask me? Isn't this a result of our strategic mistakes decades ago? We built our nation on finance, transferred industry to other countries, and allocated different levels of industry to each country according to their controllability. Countries like Japan, South Korea, and Germany were given semiconductors, precision machine tools, and other industries, while China focused on shirts and chemicals—industries with low technological content and high pollution. China spent 40 years honing its skills, building a complete industrial system, and its people have a relatively high level of education and quality. Now it's their time to reap the rewards, and what can I do? If I could solve this problem, I could be in your position too."

The leader of the bald eagles was amused by this remark.

"That's right, that's exactly the case. But I really hope you can find a solution, and I'll definitely support you as the leader next term."

Hayes laughed heartily and said, "Don't tease me, I don't have that ability. Let's leave it at that for now. Please, try to get us as many orders as possible. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Hayes seemed to have lost all his energy, and immediately slumped back in his chair and didn't move.

Having worked for nearly 40 years, this was the first time he had felt such helpless despair. No competitor had ever brought him such despair as Yang Chen.

the other side.

The Kingdom of Sand and Qatar sent out all the aircraft they had purchased. Those who received the first batch of aircraft were naturally not ordinary people; they were either royalty and government officials, or wealthy businessmen and celebrities.

These people took to the air to experience it, and even filmed themselves and uploaded the videos to social media platforms. Riyadh and Doha truly made them a cyber city.

Netizens from various countries left comments in the comment sections of the related videos, expressing their envy.

With the help of these wealthy individuals, the Sihai Flying Machine became a global sensation.

Traders from various countries contacted Sihai Intelligent Group to inquire about agency and procurement matters. At this moment, Crown Prince Salman of the Sand Kingdom personally sent Yang Chen a video call request.

"Haha... Your Highness, hello there."

"Haha... Hello Mr. Yang. We are very satisfied with your aircraft. I want the Middle East agency rights, both the civilian and military versions. Mr. Yang, please name your price."

"Well... Your Highness, to be honest, our current production capacity can't keep up. Traders from all over the world want it, and we really can't meet Your Highness's needs."

"I know, that's why I'm willing to pay to become an agent. As an agent, you'll have priority in shipping my goods, right?"

"..."

Seeing Yang Chen's surprised expression, Salman immediately smiled and said, "It's profitable no matter who you sell to, right? You can sell to me first, and we'll settle in our own currency and oil. This is a settlement method that other countries can't offer you."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Now that Your Highness has said that, I know what to choose."

"Haha..." The two burst into laughter in unison.

"How much agency fee does Mr. Yang want?" Salman asked.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "We've already established this kind of cooperative relationship, so you can give me whatever you think is appropriate."

“That’s the equivalent of 10 billion Eagle Dollars in oil, how about that?” Salman asked.

Yang Chen originally had no interest in traditional energy sources like oil, but he couldn't resist the fact that countries like the Sand Country, Qatar, Persia, and Russia frequently used oil for settlement. Now he has become an oil trader, and China's oil and petrochemical companies occasionally purchase from him.

“Alright! Whatever the Crown Prince says goes. I mainly want to see how you proceed. The agency fee is just a reward for our researchers. As long as it's fair, that's fine,” Yang Chen said.

The Crown Prince immediately replied, "Mr. Yang, please rest assured, I guarantee that the entire Middle Eastern market will be covered. Oh, by the way, the Squid Country is excluded. We are very satisfied with the civilian version, and now I would like to know what the configuration of the military version is and what the price is."

“That depends on your specific needs and the pricing will be determined accordingly. Here’s what we’ll do: you send someone to contact Sihai Intelligent and have them follow up on the follow-up matters. We’ll just wait for the result,” Yang Chen replied.

The Crown Prince said, "Alright! We'll do as Mr. Yang says. I'll immediately assemble a team to handle the aircraft business. I won't bother Mr. Yang any longer, bye."

Yang Chen nodded and ended the video call with Salman.

Yang Chen called Huang Wei up from the living room downstairs.

"Xiao Wei, the Sand Kingdom wants to act as their agent for aircraft. Someone from them will contact you, and you'll be in charge of following up. The agency fee is the equivalent of 10 billion Eagle Dollars in oil. Other details haven't been finalized yet, so you'll have to handle them yourself," Yang Chen instructed.

Huang Wei immediately replied, "Okay, I've got it. But we're under a lot of production pressure right now. Even though they've got an agent, they don't have any stock to supply him. Nielsen has already placed orders for over 100,000 sets, and I hear they're about to finalize deals for hundreds of thousands more. The humanoid robots and mechs are also preparing for market launch, and our production capacity really can't keep up. According to my estimates, we can get back up and running in about three months. If Nielsen and Salman both need large quantities at the same time, we won't be able to keep up. Expanding the factory now isn't reasonable, because after this peak delivery period, the new production lines will be idle, and we can't just lay off people again. What do you suggest we do?"

“Then let’s follow the example of our chip business, where we outsource chip manufacturing to Loongson International, and transfer some of our aircraft orders to other factories for manufacturing,” Yang Chen replied.

Even if we outsource the manufacturing to other factories, it's just assembly; we will never let them touch our core secrets.

If there are orders, we will fulfill them; if there are no orders, we will not work together. This way, we can meet production needs and avoid the awkward situation where workers have no orders to work during the off-season due to the increase in production lines.

Huang Wei nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll transfer some of the orders to other factories."

"How are sales in Jiangcheng?" Yang Chen asked.

Huang Wei replied, "The data I checked before leaving get off work showed that a total of 87,000 sets were sold, of which 18,000 sets have been delivered and activated."

Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Continue to promote sales in Jiangcheng. Our plan to develop Jiangcheng into a cyber city remains unchanged."

Huang Wei nodded and replied, "Okay, I will try my best."

As the two were chatting, Qiu Yuntao, the head of aerospace, called Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, our Chang'e 6 will land around 4 pm tomorrow. We are carrying 2 kilograms of lunar soil. Do you need it? If you do, we can give you 50 grams."

"How much? 50 grams? Are you trying to humiliate me? Who would use that little bit? If foreigners knew, they'd think I'm incapable of researching more lunar soil. I'll give you a number: 500 grams!"

"How much? 500 grams? Brother, it's only two kilograms in total. You want a quarter of it all by yourself. Isn't that a bit too much? There are so many universities and research teams to share it with, and we also need to donate some to other countries. If you only get 500 grams, it's definitely not enough to go around."

“Give me 500 grams, and I guarantee I can research it and achieve results, and realize commercial, civilian, and military applications. If you give it to other people, or even foreigners, it’s hard to say whether they can research it and achieve results. Even if those foreigners do research it and achieve results, they may not necessarily share it with us honestly. We are so powerful now that we don’t need to rely on this to build relationships.”

Qiu Yuntao felt that Yang Chen's words made sense, but this was not a matter that he could decide on his own.

"Okay, I'll report this to my superiors. If it's approved, I'll give you 500 grams. If it's not approved, I'll still give you at least 50 grams, and try to increase it to 80 grams. Is that alright?"

"Okay! I'll wait for your news then." (End of Chapter)
