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

Chapter 85: Challenging Yang Chen and vindicating the Nobel Prize
Li Rende, Dean of the School of Life Sciences of Longke Institute, repeatedly watched the video of Chang Sheng smashing the Nobel Prize, his face full of regret, even a little anger, and his eyes full of sadness.

How is Li Rende's business and status?
Academician of the School of Life Sciences of the Long Academy of Sciences, Dean of the School of Life Sciences of Beijing University, doctoral supervisor, visiting professor of Beijing Medical University, honorary dean of the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University, winner of the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award, winner of the National Medal...

Li Rende's honors, titles, and awards are so numerous that they cannot even be written on an A4 paper. Giving any honor or title to someone else can absolutely guarantee that person a worry-free life and bring blessings to three generations.

But such a person is unhappy every day because he has not won the Nobel Prize. Now he is almost 70 years old and all he thinks about every day is how to win the Nobel Prize, as if all the honors given to him by the country combined are not as good as a Nobel Prize in proving his strength.

He hated being rejected when trying to win over Yang Chen!

But when he saw Yang Chen asking Chang Sheng to smash the Nobel Prize, he felt hatred and anger.

Li Rende sighed helplessly and said to himself, "Alas... People who want it can't get it even after struggling all their lives, and people who don't want it don't want it even if they try to get it. Alas..."

On the other side, Wang Dawei, Dean of the School of Chemistry at Longke Institute, was also repeatedly watching the video of Chang Sheng smashing the Nobel Prize. His mood at this moment was almost exactly the same as Li Rende's.

Although Wang Dawei did not receive any national medals, he won the highest scientific and technological progress award and held many titles such as professor at Huaqing University.

But like Li Rende, not being recognized by the Nobel Prize has become a source of worry for him.

"What an asshole's behavior. The Nobel Committee flew over to present the trophy and yet they smashed it. Do you know how many scientific researchers around the world have worked hard all their lives but never had the chance to be nominated? Young people are too arrogant. Such a Nobel Prize in Medicine is wasted." Wang Dawei said to himself.

There are many scientific research leaders who feel the same as these two, such as Victor Andris, a 70-year-old genetic expert from Bald Eagle Family. When he saw the video on YouTube of Chang Sheng throwing the Nobel Prize in Medicine in front of the members of the Nobel Committee, he couldn't stop crying.

Colleagues and assistants nearby came forward to comfort him and advised him to be more positive.

Andris has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine for 20 years, but has never been selected.

The year he had the best chance of winning the award was 2015. Almost everyone was optimistic that he would win the Nobel Prize in Medicine that year, but in the end Tu Youyun snatched away the Nobel Prize in Medicine with her discovery of artemisinin.

In the blink of an eye, another 9 years passed. During this period, he was nominated 5 times, but each time ended in failure.

What is Andris' business and status?
Let me put it this way, he is a key member of the Bald Eagle's various genetic virus weapons research and development teams, and some are even project leaders. This is enough to judge his professional ability and status in the industry.

The scientific research result he submitted for the award was the role of microRNA in gene regulation, and he is currently the only one in the world who has come up with the results.

"I... I have been working hard for this scientific research result for 50 years, and have been running for the Nobel Prize for 20 years. I gave up my family and my free time, just to study the project more thoroughly and have a better chance of winning the Nobel Prize. But... I failed, again and again..." Andres cried until he couldn't speak anymore.

The assistant handed him a tissue to wipe his tears and nose. After a while, he suddenly stood up, picked up his phone and smashed it.

Andris pointed at the broken phone and said excitedly: "But this Dragon countryman doesn't cherish the Nobel Prize in Medicine at all! For the first time in history, the judging committee flew to the winner's location to present the trophy, but he actually broke it. He actually broke it! The treasure I have thought about all my life, he regards as garbage! He not only humiliated the Nobel Prize, but also humiliated me! He is humiliating me! Oh God... woo woo..."

Andris covered his face and burst into tears, his emotions breaking down so much that he couldn't even stand.

Do you see it?

This is the necessity of what Yang Chen said: "We must break the authority and superstition of the Nobel Prize, and scientific researchers and scientific research technology should not be defined by others."

So many scientific research giants have obviously achieved many scientific research results in their respective fields and have contributed to the development of their country and even the world, but they are still agitated just because they have not been recognized by the Nobel Prize. They still have such deep obsessions at their old age.

With the development of the Internet in recent years, exchanges among countries around the world have become closer, and many people have learned the inside story of the Nobel Prize.

For example, warmongers can win the Nobel Peace Prize just for withdrawing their troops, while those who work hard for peace and even sacrifice their lives do not get recognition.

For example, if a country like Longguo wants to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, it must pay a pledge of allegiance, curse its own country, praise the beauty of foreign countries, expose backward phenomena and ideas at home, and promote foreign "free and advanced" ideas. Only in this way can it win the award.

When an award becomes political, it is no longer fair.

Especially since Qiang Sheng could actually coerce and bribe the judging committee to act according to their wishes, Yang Chen looked down on this award.

However, Yang Chen's good intentions were not understood by everyone, and those scientific researchers blamed him for destroying the faith in their hearts.

At this time, Michael Smith, director of the Smith Institute in Bald Eagle Country, was furious when he saw the video of Chang Sheng smashing the Nobel Prize.

Michael Smith has won two Nobel Prizes, one in Medicine and one in Chemistry.

Although the Smith Institute doesn't sound special, it is actually quite powerful.

The institute has attracted a total of 12300 scientific research talents from all over the world. As a private institute, it is able to have such a large number of researchers, which shows how strong it is.

Many companies have cooperated with the Smithsonian Institute. If they have any new research results, those companies will spend a lot of money to buy them for commercialization. Among them are Qiangsheng Group, which was completely subdued by Yang Chen, as well as Huirui, Moshadong and so on.

Michael Smith could not accept Yang Chen's behavior of humiliating the Nobel Prize, and Yang Chen also dealt with his old partner, the Qiangsheng Group, so he decided to publicly challenge Yang Chen to restore the reputation of the Nobel Prize.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen came to the company.

At this time, Jonathan and the Qiangsheng team were waiting at the door. When they saw Yang Chen's car driving over, they hurried forward to greet him humbly.

The driver stopped the car, and Yang Chen was just opening the window when Jonathan knelt beside the car and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, good morning. Are you satisfied with our performance?"

What does it mean to be docile?

Jonathan: That's called obedience.

The previous arrogance and pride were completely gone, and his whole body was filled with flattery and humility.

Yang Chen waved his hand to signal Jonathan to get up, then said with a smile: "Not bad. We will end the short selling tonight, you guys pay attention to Qiangsheng's stock price and see how I raise your stock price."

Jonathan nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. Thank you, Mr. Yang. Thank you, thank you. Then I won't bother you, Mr. Yang. You are busy."

Yang Chen nodded and closed the car window, and the driver immediately drove into the company.

Yang Chen came to the investment department, and Chen Chao quickly reported: "Boss Yang, the brokerage firm on the Bald Eagle side has been contacted, and the short order can be closed when the market opens tonight."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Well, well done. I have also communicated with the presidents of several banks. After our accounts are cleared, we will immediately withdraw the money and transfer it to their overseas accounts. They will convert it into Dragon Coins for us according to the real-time exchange rate. Remember, don't delay anything. Only when the money is in our hands will it be real money. Otherwise, it is just a string of symbols."

Chen Chao quickly replied, "I understand! And the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's stock market has been falling these days, from 15,000 points when we shorted it to 13,000 points."

Yang Chen nodded, and said to Zhao Jing and the others: “You guys call your presidents and short Deutsche Bank at 2:30 this afternoon. It doesn’t matter if they come or not, the main thing is to notify them.”

Zhao Jing and others nodded and quickly called their respective bank presidents to report.

2:30 pm, in the trading room of Sihai Investment Department.

Everyone was ready, waiting for Yang Chen to give orders.

The five major banks and Jiangfa Bank have shorted a total of 400 billion euros worth of Deutsche Bank shares. It depends on how far Yang Chen can short its stock price.

"Mr. Yang, are we still going to rely on luck today?" Zhao Kun asked with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed loudly. He leaned back in the boss chair, crossed his legs on the table, and acted leisurely and comfortable. After all, this was his territory, so it didn't matter if he was a little casual.

"I'm going to teach you something real today!" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Everyone immediately perked up and said that it was impossible for someone to make money in the stock market just by luck. Yang Chen must have some real stuff, he just kept it hidden, and now his true strength is finally revealed.

Zhao Kun quickly said to the operator in the video: "Everyone cheer up, Director Yang is going to teach you the real stuff."

The other bank presidents also quickly told their traders to cheer up and learn from Yang Chen.

"Haha... don't be nervous, there will be a long battle today, we will play until 12 o'clock in the evening. So, everyone should be prepared both mentally and physically." Yang Chen said with a smile, and then he asked Chen Xi and the others to pour him and the presidents a glass of red wine, and they drank while watching the market. Zhao Kun smiled and said: "Director Yang, this wine is not cheap! It's Romanee-Conti."

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said, “There are still a lot of wines in the wine cellar in the basement of that old man Wang Sihai’s villa. Sihai Group owes so much money, but it has not affected his quality of life at all. I’m afraid that if it is kept for too long, it will expire, and then these wines will be wasted, so I specially took them out to share with everyone.”

"Haha..." Everyone laughed in unison.

Li Wei, president of CCB, said with a smile, "Mr. Yang is saving Sihai Group and all its creditors, so you should enjoy these bottles. If you like to drink, I will give you a few more bottles later."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll call someone to buy it when I get back to the hotel tonight and have it delivered tomorrow. It's rare that Mr. Yang has a little hobby, so we must support him." Wan Changqing, president of Jiangfa Bank, said with a smile.

Yang Chen took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: “Thank you, thank you. There is still a lot in the wine cellar, and we can’t finish it in a short time. Come on, let’s drink!”

Everybody cheer up and be ready.

Yang Chen ordered: “Ah Chao, call the media in Europe and inform them that they can release the information we gave them.”

Chen Chao nodded and immediately ordered: "Team One, call the European media and release the information we provided immediately."

Yang Chen continued to instruct: “Achao, use our account to short one lot of Deutsche Bank’s stock.”

Chen Chao nodded and immediately ordered: "Team Two, contact Deutsche Securities immediately and short one lot of Deutsche Bank stock."

Yang Chen took another sip of wine, and said with a smile: "OK! Now let's wait and see the results. Dear brothers and sisters who are operating the platform, you can take a look at the news exposed by the European media."

Traders at major banks quickly opened websites of various European countries and visited the official websites of some authoritative financial media to check the news.

The three updates just released by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung are all about Deutsche Bank.

First, Deutsche Bank is suspected of helping the Russian tycoon Bekovsky transfer 100 billion euros in funds and is suspected of laundering funds from the Russian tycoon. It is now under investigation by the Bald Eagle Financial Regulatory Authority and is expected to be fined 4.5 million eagle coins.

Second, according to reliable information, Deutsche Bank is suspected of manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate and is now being jointly investigated by the financial regulatory authorities of Britain and England. The results of the investigation are out and it is expected that the two countries will fine it 2.4 million British pounds and 2 million pounds respectively.

Third, according to reliable information, the Federal Reserve will announce a rate cut tonight. The Federal Reserve is worried that the rate cut will cause domestic funds to flee to Europe, and has contacted several investment banks to short Deutsche Bank, the European economic and financial leader.

Not only did the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung expose this news, but other German media and media from other European countries also followed suit.

At this time, the traders of various banks were confused.

Where did Yang Chen get this information?

There is no movement in the market.

The trader of Longguo Bank couldn't help but ask Yang Chen a question.

"Mr. Yang, excuse me, I want to ask, are these the materials you provided?"

Yang Chen nodded and replied loudly: "That's right! I gave them the materials, and if I give them some money, they will cooperate obediently. Money makes the world go round, this principle applies to any country."

"But where did you get this information? The market is rumored that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates, intending to blow up our financial and real estate industries. Where did you get the news that the Federal Reserve cut interest rates? The Federal Reserve paid a huge price to raise interest rates to blow us up, at least 2000 billion Eagle coins in interest. Cutting interest rates at this time means that all this money is wasted, and it means they have admitted defeat. Is your information really reliable?"

Wang Wanli, the president of Longguo Bank, immediately reprimanded, "Xiao Liu, how dare you talk like that? What qualifications do you have to question Director Yang?"

Yang Chen quickly smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Only those who dare to question are real talents. I just said that money makes the world go round, and this principle applies to all countries. Do you understand?”

In fact, these materials were all rewards given to Yang Chen by the system to help him short the Frankfurt DAX Index.

What the system gave must be real, Yang Chen just needs to use it directly.

Zhao Kun smiled and said, "As long as we can get the information we want, it's worth spending money. I'm just afraid that people like us want to spend money to get things done, but we don't know who to spend the money on or where to spend the money."

Wan Changqing followed up by saying, "If this news is true, then Deutsche Bank will definitely fall sharply. Haha..."

Everyone laughed, their faces filled with the confidence that Yang Chen gave them.

At this time, Wang Wanli, the president of Longguo Bank, asked again: "Mr. Yang, since we have shorted Deutsche Bank, why don't we short Barclays Bank as well?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, take your time. Let's wait patiently for Deutsche Bank's stock price to react before taking the next step."

"Haha...Okay, okay, I was anxious. Come on, Mr. Yang, let me toast you." Wang Wanli said with a smile.

Yang Chen raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together.

The atmosphere doesn't sound like revenge at all, it's clearly just friends bragging at a gathering.

but.

The atmosphere on Yang Chen's side was relaxed and joyful, but that didn't mean other places were relaxed and joyful as well.

At this time, the Bald Eagle Federal Reserve was in a panic.

Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, quickly got up and held an emergency video conference.

"Tell me, who of you leaked the information? Why did Europe know about our interest rate cut and short-selling plans? Why did they even know how much money we were going to fine them? Can anyone tell me why?" Powell roared.

The second-in-command, Jefferson, immediately responded, "Only a few of us know the amount of the fine, and the decision to lower the interest rate was just made by a few of us. If someone really leaked it, it must be a traitor among us."

As soon as he said this, Powell calmed down instantly. After all, he was one of the suspects. How could he have the nerve to yell at others?

Mike, the head of the Eagle Federal Reserve, immediately said, "Impossible! We have been working together for so many years and have never made any mistakes. If there really was a traitor, they wouldn't have waited until now. I suspect there are agents or hackers who got this information through some unknown channel. Maybe... we are being monitored?"

Everyone's expression became tense. If they were really being monitored, many more secrets would be leaked, far more than just these.

Jefferson, the second-in-command, said, "Don't think too much now. Since our plan has been exposed in Europe, let's just release it. Moreover, Deutsche Bank plays a very important role in the European financial sector. We originally wanted to short it to prevent funds from fleeing to Europe after the interest rate cut. Isn't this exactly what we want now?"

Powell thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "That's true. The most urgent task is to prevent the funds from fleeing to Europe after the interest rate cut. We will slowly investigate whether we are being monitored. I called those investment banks and asked them to short Deutsche Bank immediately."

On the other hand, Deutsche Bank was in chaos.

Deutsche Bank is a joint-stock commercial bank. It does not have a chairman or president. Instead, it is managed and operated by a board of directors consisting of 12 directors. These 12 directors take turns to serve as spokespersons for the board every five years, and all resolutions of the board are announced and explained by the spokesperson.

The spokesperson on duty, Nowitzki, quickly called other board members together to discuss countermeasures.

"You've all watched the news, right? Major European media have reported news that is very unfavorable to us. What do you think?" Nowitzki asked straight to the point.

The other directors immediately expressed their opinions.

"I have inquired about it. There are accounts from Longguo that are shorting us. This is obviously fake news they made up. The purpose is to cause panic selling and suppress our stock price."

"I heard that, too. It's true. I contacted the Bald Eagle, and there's no definite news about a rate cut. So I'm sure this is fake news from Dragon Country, who is shorting us."

"Longguo Capital has been a bit upset recently. The Bald Eagle family has already surrendered, but Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are still resisting stubbornly. They are actually shorting our Deutsche Bank again. They are really too arrogant."

"Have you noticed? This could be a revenge plot against us. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, us, what if we add Barclays Bank?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and their thoughts went back to 15 years ago...
