Chapter 376: Discussion With “Dog” (1)

Chapter 376 – Discussion With “Dog” (1)

Society would not stop because of one person.

People went about their lives as usual, whether it was for the sake of studying, work, family, or...completing their lives quicker and departing in peace.

Half a month had gone by since Transdimensional Review’s twelfth official livestream. At this time, Transdimensional Review’s existence was no longer a secret. In fact, its popularity had even begun waning.

Of course, due to Transdimensional Review’s particularity, it still remained the hottest discussion topic for media outlets and netizens worldwide. With Transdimensional Review as the core, a considerable number of institutions and individuals both online and offline had also formed chains of interests that cannot be underestimated.

Some people with great foresight had even secured the copyrights to Transdimensional Review’s livestreams and sold them to the various film and television groups, music companies, game studios, etc., making a massive fortune.

Driven by profits, the first batch of movies with Chen Yu as the protagonist began being released one after another. These movies also became huge box office hits.

Many large-scale comic exhibitions around the world also saw people cosplaying as Chen Yu and Little Peach.

As for Bilibili, Lego, Nintendo, and the China Railway Construction Corporation, companies that possessed close ties with Chen Yu and had proven that they had outstanding future development, their stock prices skyrocketed.

In contrast, though, many energy corporations such as Shell Petroleum and Alliance Power instantly declared bankruptcy after the twelfth official livestream ended.

While human society as a whole remained unchanged, a reshuffling of the global status quo had quietly begun.

However, Chen Yu, the culprit behind all these changes, felt not the slightest bit guilty about these changes. On the contrary, he worked together with Little Peach to make a killing from the global market...

“How much money do we have now?”

“We have 150 million American dollars.”

“Take 50 million and purchase Apple smartphones, tablets, and laptops in batches.”

“Do I still set the delivery location to be at Light Island?”

“No need. Just find a nearby warehouse and have the items delivered there,” Chen Yu said, shaking his head. “However, disguise the warehouse owner as a supplier for Light Island. Negotiate the freight charges with Apple. Make sure we get free shipping. Also, complete all contracts through the internet and find a reliable law firm.”

“Apple has already lowered the price for their latest smartphone to 3,500 yuan per unit. Will Apple still give away more of their profits?”

“Of course! In fact, if we weren’t trying to avoid negotiating in person, we could’ve even gotten the price down to 3,200 or lower!”

While tapping away at her keyboard, Little Peach asked skeptically, “Why have the prices of electronic products fallen so significantly?”

“Because I’ll be bringing back those two batteries soon.” Leaning against the side of his bed, Chen Yu shrugged and said, “Although I didn’t give the various governments an exact date, they must have their own estimates and have begun cutting their losses. After all, once the batteries are fully charged, wired transmission will be quickly eliminated. At that time, high-power, long-distance wireless charging technology will become mainstream. For the sake of maintaining technological leadership, Apple will have to clear its inventory and upgrade its industrial lines. What’s more, the larger companies must’ve received information about the inevitable supernova explosion and the damage to electronic components.”

“So, isn’t it only consumers who will suffer in the end?”

“That’s right. So, what we’re doing now is considered robbing the rich and helping the poor. We’ll buy large quantities of electronic products and keep them in storage. Afterward, we’ll declare that those two batteries won’t be made available for commercial use within the next hundred years, making all companies suffer a loss for nothing! Afterward...”

“Afterward, we’ll sell the phones back to Apple at a high price?” Little Peach said, her eyes glowing in realization.

“...Afterward, we’ll sell them at a high price to the common folk.”

Little Peach: “...”

“...”

A moment of silence filled the room. Chen Yu then suddenly picked up a book and tapped it on Little Peach’s forehead. “Are you stupid? Why would Apple buy back its own products at a higher price?”

“But wouldn’t the consumers suffer a loss...”

“Isn’t that obvious? No company or government can strive in the current state of the world. Since we don’t know how to do business, our only way to maintain our lives is to bully the common folk.”

“Oh!”

“Hurry up and buy them. Once you’re done, I’ll take you to Antarctica for ice cream.”

“Mhm, mhm.” Little Peach hurriedly nodded and tapped away at her keyboard. After paying the deposit and completing the purchase order with Apple, she asked, “Mr. Chen, what about the electronic products such as engraving machines, high-precision CNC machines, etc. Should we buy them as well and sell them to the various countries afterward?”

“They’re too large, so storing them won’t be convenient. Moreover, industrial facilities won’t be going wireless immediately. Once the supergiant explodes, it will take several decades for the gamma rays to reach Earth, so the various countries won’t have to do a complete overhaul of their equipment immediately. We won’t get a good profit margin if that’s the case.”

“What about the remaining 100 million dollars?”

“Is there even a need to ask? Buy the stocks of oil companies! There’s not the slightest risk in this trade, so buy everything! We’ll then sell them right before I decide to open the batteries for commercial use!”

“I see!” Clenching her fists, Little Peach said excitedly, “You’re amazing!”

“It’s nothing. After all, my mother is a financial genius. I naturally won’t be inferior to her. Now that the oil market has almost bottomed up, we only have one chance to make a fortune...”

After giving Little Peach his instructions, Chen Yu finished the apple n his hand and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing that Chen Erke and Chen Sanke were fighting in the living room, he nodded in relief.

“What cute and naughty little sisters.”

Arriving in the bathroom, Chen Yu first washed his hands. He then shut his hands and sat on the toilet. After looking around silently for a moment, he said in a low voice, “Pikachu, come out. It’s time we have a proper talk.”

“...”

No response came from inside the bathroom.

“Stop hiding. The floor is covered with your fur.”

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the space above the washing machine flickered, revealing the bespectacled husky’s head.

Placing a bookmark into The Ottoman Empire book before it, the husky took a puff on the cigarette in its right paw and asked, “What’s the matter, Boss Chen?”

“The Ottoman Empire? Haven’t you been focused on studying science before? Why are you interested in history now?”

“Because history also contains the wisdom of Neo-Confucianism that fascinates people. Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between art and science.”

“Fascinate dogs,” Chen Yu corrected.

“Okay, fascinate dogs. Whatever you say, Boss Chen.” Removing its glasses, the husky let out a puff of smoke and asked, “What do you want from me?”

“I heard you cheated Little Peach of her mon—”

Before Chen Yu could finish, the husky interrupted, “I won it fair and square. I didn’t cheat.”

“Don’t talk to me about this nonsense. With that brain of hers, I would trick her myself if I were in your shoes.”

“...Fine, I tricked her. Continue.”

“I heard you used the money you scammed to start a company?”

“Who did you hear it from?”

“That’s right. Who did I hear it from?” After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu nodded and said, “I just heard about it.”

“In that case, you misheard.” Shaking its paw, the husky said, “I started three companies.”

“...What are you starting so many businesses for? What are you trying to do?”

“What’s wrong with starting my own business? Any great person must have their own business,” the husky said seriously.

“Great dog.”

“You damned... Yes, great dog. Dogs are the same.” Closing the heavy book before it, the husky looked at Chen Yu with wise eyes and asked, “I doubt you’re here to ask these boring questions, right? Just get to the point. I still have a paper on the structure of graphene materials I need to finish.”

“You even began writing theses?!” Chen Yu was shocked.

“Is there a problem?”

“Is there not a problem with a dog writing a thesis?”

“I feel offended.” Putting on its glasses again, the husky narrowed its eyes and said, “Which country’s laws prohibit dogs from publishing papers?”

“...”

“Which country’s laws prohibit dogs from researching advanced technology?”

“...”

“This is racial discrimination. If you were an outsider, I would’ve sent you a lawyer’s letter long ago.”

“...”

“Why are you giving that look? Which country prohibits dogs from sending lawyer letters?”

“...”

“Mr. Chen. Those that look like dogs might be humans, and those that look like humans might be dogs.” Spitting out another mouthful of smoke, the husky said earnestly, “Times are changing. You can’t continue sticking with your old mindset.”

“...”

“Forget it. Just say it.” Squeezing its cigarette, the husky looked at Chen Yu in the eye and asked, “What exactly have you come here for this time?”

“Yes, sir...”

“Is it related to your exposed identity?”

“What the? How did you guess it?!”

“Is there even a need to guess?” Rolling its eyes, the husky said, “If you didn’t think that you don’t have even one person around you that you can discuss countermeasures with, would you even come to look for me?”

“I can’t help this.” Sighing, Chen Yu said, “After all, there are only a few wise people in the world.”

“...Do you still have more of that Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipid?”

“No. What’s wrong? You want to eat more of it?”

“Not for me. What I mean is... You should find an opportunity to have one yourself.”

“It’s useless for humans.” Crossing his legs, Chen Yu said, “Otherwise, do you think I wouldn’t eat it?”

“I suddenly discovered something. Your greatest strength might be your self-awareness.”

“Many people have told me that before.” Straightening his back, Chen Yu said in a serious tone, “Let’s stop with the nonsense. I’m certain my identity has been exposed. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been assassins coming after me. Can you infer which country is most likely to uncover my identity?”

“This is simple.” Taking out a mobile phone and waving it in front of Chen Yu, the husky said, “If we observe the dynamics of the various countries’ official websites, we can easily uncover the truth. I heard from Little Peach some time ago that you guys were attacked, so I spent some time looking into this matter. I already got the results long ago.”

“Why didn’t you tell me, then?!”

“Seeing that the defensive measures you’ve taken afterward seemed pretty good, I decided not to bring it up. Moreover, this is a simple task. I thought Little Peach would’ve already found the answer.”

“...She didn’t find a bloody damned thing...”

“Is that Concentrated Lipid effective on robots? Give her one.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Tell me your investigation results right now. Exactly how many countries know about my identity?”

“The Netherlands, Cambodia, Eastern Spain, Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Rwanda...” The husky quickly spat out the names of 21 countries under Chen Yu’s incredulous gaze.

“T-There are actually 21 countries that discovered my true identity?! How is that possible?!” Chen Yu was shocked.

“You misunderstand me. There are only 21 countries left that haven’t found you yet.”

Chen Yu: “...”
