What if I have some money as an online car-hailing driver?

Chapter 702 Listen to me, sell off the island country now

Representatives from various departments expressed the same opinion as Yang Chen. Due to considerations of road information safety and other aspects, Baicai Kuaipao must be recalled immediately, and Qiandu Group's driverless business must be separated out to form a new company controlled by the government before it can be evaluated whether to re-enter the market.

No matter how powerful Baidu is, it is impossible for it to go against these functional departments. Director Li is also a man who knows the times. Since the representatives of various departments have expressed the same opinion as Yang Chen, he, as a Dragon countryman, naturally has to stand up and not appear to have insufficient ideological awareness.

"After listening to the words of the representatives, I was deeply touched. It is no exaggeration to say that my ideological awareness has been greatly improved. Compared with the safety of the country and the people, what does making money matter? I would like to express my position here. I absolutely support the separation of the unmanned driving business to establish a new company controlled by the government. If other executives and shareholders have any opinions, please speak up now." Mr. Li said seriously.

Now that the chairman has expressed his stance, the company’s top executives will certainly follow him, and everyone has expressed their support.

Most shareholders are very sensible. As long as they can make money, nothing else matters. After all, they have no say in the shares they hold.

"We also feel that this business was launched too hastily, and there are still many details that can be improved. Let's recall it and discuss how to improve it."

"The parent company of the autonomous driving business is indeed a good idea. Maybe in the future we can list the autonomous driving business separately. Haha..."

"Now that you mention it, I feel that Mr. Yang's suggestion is very valuable. I think we should follow what Mr. Yang says."

……

Mr. Li thought to himself, “What a bunch of sycophants.”

However, in the current situation, it is wisest for them to choose to be flatterers. If they want to go against Yang Chen and the representatives of various departments, then they are obviously mentally ill.

Mr. Li smiled and asked, "Mr. Yang, how much do you want to hold? After all, you have put so much effort into spinning off the autonomous driving business to form a new company, so you must have more shares."

Obviously, Director Li thought that Yang Chen must be going to so much trouble to do this out of personal gain, but he was completely wrong. Yang Chen simply looked down on this kind of business.

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I don't plan to hold shares alone, Qiandu Group will do. To be honest, I'm not too interested in this. My Xingchen Automobile also has an autonomous driving R&D team, and I don't need to hold shares in Qiandu Group's autonomous driving business. I do this simply to protect road information security and leave a way out for those drivers."

"Oh, I see. I will have to learn more from Mr. Yang in the future. My ideological awareness is not high enough. Haha..." Mr. Li said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said, “Haha… Even if you’re unhappy, don’t be sarcastic to me.”

"No, no. I sincerely feel that my ideological awareness is indeed far behind that of Mr. Yang, and I still have a lot to learn. Mr. Yang, are there any investment opportunities recently? Please share them with us." Mr. Li said with a smile.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "You know what, there really is an investment opportunity. If it were any other investment opportunity, I would definitely not tell you. But for this investment opportunity, I can tell you. Wall Street will soon reap the island nation and ease their debt pressure of more than 30 trillion. Previously, Silicon Valley Bank and others went bankrupt and lost a large amount of deposits. Obviously, that little deposit is just a drop in the bucket. There will definitely be problems with banks in the future, such as a fire that burned the deposit data, but the loan data is well preserved."

The other shareholders immediately became interested. They had all heard of Xingchen Investment. Yang Chen must have some basis for saying that he wanted to short the island country.

"Boss Yang, do you have any news? Can they really do such an outrageous thing as burning the deposit data? If they really do such a thing, who would dare to deposit money with them in the future?"

"That's right! This is a stupid act that will destroy the foundation. I don't believe they can be so stupid."

“Why do you want to empty the island country?”

"Didn't you say they wanted to harvest us? Then shouldn't we short the A-share market? Why short the island country?"

……

There are still people who are thinking about shorting the A-share market. They really have no bottom line.

Yang Chen rolled his eyes at them, and then said: "I can't explain too much to you, I can only say that if you want to make money, just listen to me, short the island country now, especially their currency, it will definitely plummet soon. This is also called harvesting the island country, and if it is replaced by other investments, I will not take you with me."

Others expressed their confusion.

"Boss Yang, please don't mess with us. Investing in the island country is hot right now, and everyone is going long, buying real estate, buying stocks, and as long as they buy, they can make money. You want us to go short now?"

"Although sometimes you can't just follow the crowd when investing, you can't do the exact opposite. Everyone thinks the market will go up, but you go against the trend and short it. Is this what makes investment experts different?"

"Are you going to mobilize a large amount of funds to short the island nation's currency again this time?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I don't need to do anything this time, their American dad will do it. After all, raising children is a way to protect your old age, and now they need to give their dad a transfusion, so they have to obey. Just wait and see, if they dare to resist, their American dad will definitely deal with them. The current international economic and financial trends are here, and I have arranged a script for them on how to develop. You like to short sell so much, this time you short sell the island country together, harvesting foreigners is called a skill, but what kind of skill is it to harvest the local compatriots who are tied up?"

These people were very unhappy with what Yang Chen said, but no matter from the perspective of operational ability, social status, or personal wealth, they did not dare to talk back.

Yang Chen really looked down on this bunch of people. They would only bully others in their own nest and keep their eyes on the small amounts of money in the hands of retail investors. The key point was that they used transfer financing and quantitative trading to short sell, and retail investors did not have such channels, so Yang Chen said that it was not a great skill for them to reap the profits of their fellow retail investors who were tied up.

Now Yang Chen clearly told them to short the island country and wait for the United States to reap the island country before closing their positions and leaving, but they didn't dare to do it again.

Mr. Li smiled and asked, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for sharing your investment projects. Are there any other investment projects? It's a rare opportunity to meet Mr. Yang, so I'd like to ask you about some investment projects."

“The only thing I can share with you is shorting the island nation. Other projects cannot be shared. You should seize the opportunity and short more. We can’t let Wall Street reap all the benefits. We should also have a piece of the pie. This is a feast that only comes once every thirty years. If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next time will be.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Director Li laughed and said, "Okay, I understand."

However, these people were just talking, they still didn't quite believe the two things Yang Chen said.

First, there are banks in the United States that would deliberately damage deposit data to preserve loan data. It is impossible for them to do something that would completely destroy their reputation.

Second, with the current enthusiasm for investing in island countries, it is hard to see how they can short sell them. Moreover, harvesting allies is too immoral, and they don’t believe that Wall Street will really do this.

But it doesn’t matter. Yang Chen doesn’t necessarily require them to believe it. Those who believe can follow suit and reap the benefits of the island nation. Those who don’t believe can just watch and don’t be jealous of others making money.

According to Yang Chen's estimation, this wave of harvesting is inevitable. Even if everyone in the world follows suit and shorts, Wall Street will still harvest the island nation according to the plan, otherwise they will not be able to bear the debt pressure. More than half an hour later, Lucas's video was connected again.

"I have reported this to the top management of the group, and we held an emergency meeting. We have now unanimously agreed to Mr. Yang's proposal to separate the autonomous driving business into a new company, which will be controlled by the Longguo government. All servers for relevant information will be stored within Longguo. We invest to make money, and we do not want to collect intelligence on Longguo, so please rest assured," said Lucas.

Director Li smiled and said, "Okay, since everyone supports Director Yang's proposal, then we will pass it. We will recall all Baicai Kuaipao vehicles from 12: tonight and wait for the right time to put them on the market. I will ask the Secretary to issue an announcement later. Do you have any other proposals?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Director Li looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "I don't have any other proposals, let's adjourn the meeting. Everyone has worked hard today."

Everyone quickly responded with a smile.

Director Li nodded and said, "Okay! Then we'll end the meeting here. Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Yang Chen left the meeting room accompanied by Director Li and representatives from several departments.

Director Li asked quietly, "Do you think what Mr. Yang said just now is reliable? Can we really short the island country's currency now?"

“Of course! This means harvesting the island country, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to bring you with me. Each of us has the obligation to harvest the wealth of the island country, after all, they owe us.” Yang Chen said.

Director Li smiled and nodded, saying, "I see. Goodbye, Mr. Yang, come often when you are free."

Yang Chen smiled and waved to Director Li, then waved goodbye to several representatives from the Information Security Department, and then got in the car and left.

An hour later, Qiandu Group issued an announcement with two main points.

First, the driverless car business was separated from the group glass and established as a separate company, which is controlled by the Longguo government and followed by Qiandu Group and other capitals.

Second, Baicai Kuaipao will cease operations after 12 o'clock tonight.

Soon the topic of "Bai Cai Kuai Pao recall" topped the hot search list, netizens rushed to comment, and the drivers expressed their sincere gratitude to Yang Chen.

"Boss Yang is awesome. He stopped the order immediately."

"Thank you, Boss Yang, for leaving us a bowl of rice. We can finally have a good sleep."

"I hope that wealthy people can have a broad vision like Boss Yang, and have a sense of patriotism. Turn your gaze to the stars and the sea, and stop focusing on the industry that we ordinary people rely on for our survival."

"It turns out that this industry also involves the issue of national road information security. Otherwise, how could Boss Yang be recognized by the government? This kind of thinking and vision is really not something that ordinary people can have."

……

After dinner, Yang Chen posted a Weibo.

"I've kept my word. In addition, I plan to acquire a courier company. In the future, unemployed middle-aged people can come to deliver takeout, deliver couriers, or drive online ride-hailing cars. As long as I'm still here, you will have these three options. If any courier company wants to sell, please contact me. If no one is willing to sell, I will have to set up my own courier company. By then, I will compete for your market share, causing your business to decline and become unprofitable. Then you won't be able to sell your company for a good price."

Soon netizens came to leave comments.

"Boss Yang, don't buy it. Just open your own courier company and we will use your courier company in the future."

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Just open a courier company of your own and we will definitely be able to help it succeed."

"Boss Yang, why don't you open your own courier company? I'll apply for the job right away. I don't want to do this B job for even a day. I've had enough of serving that stupid boss of mine."

……

Originally, Yang Chen wanted to acquire someone else's courier company and use it after buying it.

But now that netizens are so supportive of him doing it himself, he actually has an idea.

However, considering Yang Chen's vision and appetite, it is absolutely impossible for him to start a courier delivery company. If he is going to do it, he has to make it bigger and set his sights on the vast ocean.

Not long after, Yang Chen posted another Weibo.

"Thank you all for your support. I originally wanted to buy a courier company, but with all your support, I decided not to buy it and start my own. However, I will definitely not start a pure courier company, as that would be too unskilled. I plan to start a courier company, whose business scope will not only include daily online shopping package delivery, but also delivery to the sky, such as delivering supplies to our space station and the moon. If I want to start a company, I will start a company with technical content. Everyone wait for my good news, and you will definitely receive greetings from our Xingchen Express Moon Base in the near future."

comment.

"666, Boss Yang is really bold. Setting up an interstellar express delivery company?"

"Awesome! I can buy things for Chang'e and send them to her from now on."

"My ex-boyfriend said he is from the planet Narnia. Once Boss Yang's interstellar express is established, I can send him things. I am so looking forward to it."

"My wife said she went to Mars. I don't know if it's cold or hot there. When Boss Yang's interstellar express company opens, I will send her an air conditioner. It will heat the air when it's cold and cool the air when it's hot."

"Boss Yang, are you trying to keep up with Max's pace? Are you also going to engage in interstellar migration? By the way, how is the bet between you and Max going? Is your robot girlfriend ready?"
