At the same time, Su Yang was chatting with the Clown Sea Serpent somewhere far away in Yemen, in the virtual realm.
The Clown Sea Serpent looked at Su Yang’s back and asked respectfully, “Master, what if Saddam rejects your request?”
Su Yang took a sip of water. His back view was elongated by the sunlight, and there was a halo of sacred light surrounding it. However, it seemed a little dark.
“When we are about to reach the end, I will not allow any variables to appear.
“It’s not like Saddam is the only one in Menes.”
The Clown Sea Serpent licked its lips with its long tongue, its face full of evil and madness. “I understand, Master.”
The room fell into silence and darkness.
After a while, Su Yang asked, “By the way, how are the countries contacting you?”
Ever since Jiadian Group announced that they had developed space weapons, many countries had contacted them to purchase weapons.
Among them, England was the most proactive.
Su Yang even suspected that they might know something.
The Clown Sea Serpent said, “Sigh. I know that you don’t want to sell it to them, Master, which is why I sent them away. I told them that although the weapon test was successful, it’s still going to be a long time before the weapon can actually be mass-produced and equipped.
“However, we will initiate a partnership should we be able to mass produce it.”
Su Yang nodded and said, “Actually, it’s not impossible to sell it to various countries. The main reason is that the cost of this weapon is too high. It costs a few million yuan. However, selling this thing can only bring cash.”
“This is exactly what we don’t lack.”
The Clown Sea Serpent nodded and began to talk about Jiang Yan. “What about the things we promised the Jiangs?”
Su Yang corrected him. “Not the Jiangs, they’re for our country.”
After correcting them, Su Yang said, “I’m planning to exchange an intercontinental missile launcher for them. We don’t need to give them transportation rockets, they have their own rockets.”
the Clown Sea Serpent asked, “Master, do you have so many coins?”
Su Yang turned around with his back facing the sun and said, “Yes, but I don’t intend to bear the costs myself. I want to cooperate with the country and use the company’s name as a charity to see if I can get some money.”
No matter which country it was, charity was not something that could be done at will, especially when one’s status was higher.
“Because your actions might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, such as thinking that you’ve bought people’s hearts and harbored ill intentions.
Furthermore, when it came to charity, most of the time, those who gained weight were those who had done it before, and not those poor children or families. Therefore, they needed official support to do it.
Previously, Su Yang did not dare to do charity because the time was not right.
Now, he had even provided the latest weapons to the country, and the focus of his development had shifted to foreign countries. Inside the country, his power was only equivalent to a first-rate company, and he did not have much influence.
He believed that with so many considerations, the country would agree to let him do charity.
At the thought of this, Su Yang could not help but find it ridiculous.
In this day and age, even if you wanted to do charity, you had to be cautious. The higher you stood, the less freedom you had!
Su Yang returned to the table.
The book lights came on, and the room was filled with light again…
…
Saddam did not make Su Yang wait for long. The next day, he contacted Su Yang and said that he was willing to accept Su Yang’s conditions.
On the third day, he sent a video file. The video file clearly recorded the entire process of his ambush at the Israel border. The elite team was dressed in ordinary camouflage clothing. From the start of the attack to the retreat, it only took ten minutes. It could be said that speed was of utmost importance.
Normally, this video could not be counted as evidence, but before this video, there was a clip of these members changing their outfits, proving that they were indeed from Menes.
After receiving the video, Su Yang was very satisfied. He even personally set up a table of wine at Yemen and invited Saddam to drink.
There were not many people at the table. There were only five people, but all of them were important figures. There was Su Yang, the Clown Sea Serpent, the Crown Prince of Salabar, the President of Yemen, and the last person was Saddam.
When he saw the President of Yemen and the Crown Prince of Salabar, Saddam finally understood Su Yang’s plan in Central Asia.
Yemen is one of the most important countries in Central Asia that controls the canals. Salabar is one of the most influential countries in Central Asia and is one of the giants of the International Oil Trade Organization, OPEC.
Needless to say, the leader of the Central Asia region held an important position in the entire region.
With these countries, Su Yang practically controlled half of Central Asia.
When he saw the people at the table, Saddam suddenly had a premonition. The sky in Central Asia seemed to be changing…
As expected, more and more people came to Su Yang’s party. Furthermore, they were all important figures in Central Asia, such as presidents, kings, and crown princes.
In just half a year, almost all the forces in Central Asia had been roped into Su Yang’s organization.
In this, there were threats, coercions, briberies, and kidnappings. Regardless, Central Asia was finally undergoing a change.
It was not that the big shots had not noticed the change in Central Asia, but they could not find any evidence.
After all, Su Yang had never made any outrageous requests. All the countries in Central Asia had concealed their identities very well. Even though people were suspicious, they could not detect anything unusual after a thorough investigation.
During that half a year, the world had changed drastically.
Due to the space weapons provided by Su Yang and various patriotic actions, the country agreed to Su Yang’s large-scale charity work.
Therefore, Su Yang personally donated 1 billion yuan to start the fund. Together with the country, he set up the Jiadian Public Service Fund, mainly to help the children in the poor mountains and families who were seriously ill.
In order to allow the fund to continue operating effectively, Su Yang also decided to donate 5% of the net profit from the glass phone every year to the fund so that the fund could help more people.
Once this fund was released, it received praise from all the major media outlets in the country.
Because this fund was different from other welfare organizations, it did not accept any donations from the outside world. It only received some net profit from technology. This directly abandoned many gray areas.
Furthermore, Su Yang did charity all the way until the end. Every sum of money was transferred from the fund to the recipient. It was completely public and transparent, allowing people to look at it anytime.
In order to use the public welfare organization’s money in real life, the employees who operated the fund did not work in the fund but in the Jiadian Public Service Fund. All the salaries, benefits, and security were directly funded by the headquarters of Jiadian Group.
As a result, every cent was spent on actual work.
The public opinion at the time was praising Su Yang for the reform of the charity fund, thinking that Su Yang was really doing charity. The elders of the country were also very satisfied with this matter. They expressed their approval of this matter in public or in private.
As for Su Yang’s ‘backer’, Old Master Jiang even specially gave Su Yang a call for this matter and chatted with him for a while. From Old Master Jiang’s happy voice, he was very satisfied with Su Yang.
Su Yang could even tell that he was trying to set Jiang Yan up with him.
However… Su Yang pretended that he did not hear her and avoided her. After all, he still had Chu Xia!
Just when Su Yang thought that the matter was over, Jiang Yan sent him a piece of Old Master Jiang’s handwritten calligraphy two days after the phone call. There were four big words written on it: Gains In The Future.
This made Su Yang respect this old man even more. He was truly gratified for the development of the country.
While Su Yang was making all sorts of arrangements, the president of America was not idle either.
In March, Draenor signed a document announcing the formal withdrawal from the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
In April, Draenor discovered that the country’s foreign trade was constantly in deficit, so he decided to impose anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duties on softwood products in Canada.
In May, Draenor publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the huge trade surplus between Germany and his country, arguing that Germany did not give their country’s products equal access.
In June, he announced that he would stop implementing the non-binding Paris Agreement.
In August, Draenor decided to withdraw from the North American Regional Trade Agreement, believing that it hurt his country’s interests. Several North American countries had to renegotiate the free-trade agreement.
Likewise, in August, Draenor revised his immigration policy, which is expected to halve the number of migrants and drive back 10 million undocumented ones.
In September, Draenor announced a tax reform plan to reduce corporate taxation.
In October, Mr Draenor accused Korea of blocking his country’s automobiles, machinery and other manufacturers from expanding its market by setting non-tariff barriers and forcing them to revise the agreement.
In November, Draenor announced a 1.5 trillion USD investment plan for American infrastructure. The plan was to use 200 billion USD in federal funds to leverage 1.5 trillion USD in social investment to transform the country’s annual infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports and water supplies.
In December, Draenor decided to loosen financial regulation and signed the Economic Growth, Deregulation, and Consumer Protection Act.
And in January, 18 years later, Draenor launched the “American First Energy Plan,” deciding to stop energy regulation and maximize the use of US domestic energy to escape dependence on imported energy, while increasing domestic employment opportunities and promoting physical economic development.

Su Yang had been paying attention to everything that Draenor did. Sometimes, when he counted the things that Draenor did, he realized that he was too good at it…
Over the past year, he’d only taken control of Central Asia and promoted philanthropy within the country. Everything else… Had gone according to plan.
In comparison, Draenor was much more noisy.
However, after studying Draenor’s policies carefully, Su Yang was surprised to find that most of what Draenor did was useless or counterproductive. This made Su Yang suspect that he had accidentally gone to America when he was asleep and changed his fate line for Draenor.
Otherwise, why would it be so weird?
Although this opponent was a weird one, Su Yang did not let his guard down.
History tells us that sometimes, a smart person is not scary because a smart person would weigh the pros and cons. What we are afraid of is that the opponent is a madman, a fool. Because you will never be able to guess what he is going to do next, and he might even take you down with him.
Therefore, Su Yang had been keeping a low profile for the past six months so that he could have more time to develop.
After all, time was on his side. His career was in full swing, so there was no need to rush.
For example, when charity was promoted domestically, Su Yang’s coins and the number of people affected would increase exponentially. Furthermore, it would increase by tens or hundreds of thousands every day.
In just a month, Su Yang had made up for the few million yuan that he had spent for the country and it was still growing.
In Su Yang’s opinion, he was doing charity and doing charity. The reason why he could increase the number of coins and influence was not only because he had helped so many people, but also because of his actions.
With the country promoting him, and everything that he did was transparent and public, it was equivalent to setting a new standard. Of course, it would reignite hope for the public welfare.
In the past, there were too many grey areas for public welfare and charity. Now that Su Yang had set an example, all the public welfare organizations started to become transparent. Many companies even started to do charity.
This kind of drive was basically turning people into good people.
Other than charity, Su Yang also had Samsung and Hyundai in his hands. Hence, when he sold his goods to China, he would either reduce the prices or cooperate with local companies to set up a factory to give the profits to local companies and consumers.
Combined with the public welfare industry, Su Yang’s influence in the country soared.
Other than his domestic activities, Su Yang did not let go of Central Asia. He gathered the resources of Samsung to build factories in various countries in Central Asia and set up companies. Not only did he create jobs in Central Asia, but he also gave some subsidies to improve the lives of the people in Central Asia.
With the support of various countries in Central Asia, Su Yang’s investments were progressing smoothly. His currency was also increasing steadily.
Su Yang did not let Korea off either. As Korea’s current economic controller, Su Yang told Zhao Licheng to increase the Koreans’ salary and treatment as much as possible without pursuing profits.
Zhao Licheng followed Su Yang’s plan and used many measures to increase the benefits. This benefited many people in Korea.
In the three major districts, the three major markets were like a steady stream of cows feeding Su Yang with nutrients. His currency and influence changed drastically every few days.
After more than half a year, Su Yang’s influence exceeded the 80 million mark. He only needed 20 million more people to level up again!
Everything, except for a chance to explode…
