155: Chapter 155 The Rise of the Eastern Emperor

"No need... whoever wants to come can come. Our Black Fish Home is the channel. Life-Sustaining Base Fluid can also be sold through a combination of online and offline methods... Oh, and invite Wang Dalin, the boss of Wanneng. Like the Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines, sell Life-Sustaining Base Fluid at Wanneng Plaza!"

"Is this procedure appropriate? This is medicine..."

Bai Moyu asked.

"If I say it can be sold, it can be sold..."

Gao Yuan now had this confidence. In his eyes, procedures and rules didn't really exist anymore.

But while he could ignore the rules, others couldn't. If anyone wanted to try, they were welcome to.

Bai Moyu was captivated by the dominance in the man's words.

How long had it been?

Gao Yuan had actually grown to this level.

But then again, was there anyone left in this world who could restrict Gao Yuan?

"What are you looking at?"

Gao Yuan reached out a finger and tilted Bai Moyu's chin up.

"Looking at how handsome you are!"

"Haha..."

As expected, lies could make one feel quite pleasant.

"Then why haven't you offered yourself to me yet?"

"I'd like to, but I'm afraid the line is too long!"

Uh...

This was hard for Gao Yuan to answer, so he could only pretend to look outside.

"Huh? What is Old Zhang doing?"

"Him? He's got his eyes on Xu Lin. Xu Lin is back! Isn't he just following her around fawning over her?"

Xu Lin?

Gao Yuan wanted to laugh. Zhang Baiyi had chased Dandan for a long time. Later, while drinking with Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan let it slip. Zhang Baiyi hadn't believed those beauties were robots at first, but after thinking about Gao Yuan's endless stream of black technology, he suddenly had an epiphany.

He directly asked Dandan: "Are you a robot?"

"Yes!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Zhang Baiyi still didn't give up. "How can you prove it..."

The next moment, Dandan literally pulled her own head off...

Startled, Zhang Baiyi fell right off his chair. Since then, he had lost all interest in those beautiful robots.

Poor Vice President Zhang was now a major figure in the world, yet he didn't even have a girlfriend. There were many young girls in Black Fish Technology, but they all cared about Zhang Baiyi's status...

Only Xu Lin didn't give him the time of day.

As he watched, Gao Yuan suddenly saw Zhang Baiyi down below waving at him.

"Old Gao, don't leave yet, I need to talk to you!"

Gao Yuan was bewildered...

A few minutes later, Xu Lin and Zhang Baiyi came in.

"What's wrong?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"It's not me, it's President Xu..."

Gao Yuan looked at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin looked serious: "President Gao, something happened in America..."

Gao Yuan was stunned. What could happen in America?

"Come, sit down and talk. Don't leave, let's all listen!"

Xu Lin took a sip of water: "Everything was fine when I left, but Wang Jiu just sent me a message... Out of the 145 stores across America, over 80 were looted yesterday!"

Gao Yuan pondered. When he sent Xu Lin before, he also sent a batch of robots. But with the subsequent expansion, the robots weren't enough, and they could only ensure the safety of the main stores.

Now that so many stores were smashed in a single day, it was clearly targeted at him.

Gao Yuan smiled...

At a time like this, someone still dared to challenge him?

Could they really not fear death?

"Do we know who did it?"

"It should be Donghuang's supporters... As you know, there's a general election at the end of the year in America. This whole year has been a warm-up for the approval ratings! But President Annie has been very low-profile lately, rarely even showing her face. Add to that the economic downturn, stock market volatility, and the appearance of blight in the Western United States..."

"blight?"

Zhang Baiyi and Bai Moyu were a bit surprised.

"What is blight? Do you dry up if you're infected?"

"Close, but it only targets plants. In two days, crops on millions of acres in the Don River basin of the Polar Bear region all withered... Although Europa and America have urgently stopped importing all Polar Bear products, after the Polar Bear's lightning strike on Poland, they've already begun a standoff with Germany at the border! America urgently mobilized twenty thousand troops to Germany! The virus was likely carried on the planes; the next day, crops in the Western United States began to wither on a large scale..."

"Various factors have led to great public anger in America. Donghuang gave a speech saying the root of everything is you... because of Black Fish Technology!"

Gao Yuan asked: "So, it was Donghuang's supporters who stormed our stores?"

"Most likely! It's just a speculation..."

"What is the official American stance? Have you contacted them?"

"Not yet... but everything's been smashed, and the contents have been looted! Even if the Federal authorities step in, it won't be easy to handle!"

Zhang Baiyi looked indignant...

"Old Gao, should we send someone to take them out..."

Zhang Baiyi made a throat-slitting motion.

Gao Yuan had a smile on his face: "Don't be so violent. We are legitimate businessmen. How could we do such a thing?"

Zhang Baiyi was shocked. "Gao Yuan, if you say you're a legitimate businessman, I'm afraid the whole world would disagree, especially the Japanese!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Where are there any Japanese people? If you call them, will they answer?"

"They really can't answer that!"

"You two stop bickering, are you performing a comedy routine? Tell us what to do."

Bai Moyu said.

Xu Lin frowned: "President Gao, during this time, under Donghuang's guidance, there's been a lot of hostility towards you in America... I'm afraid this is just the beginning!"

Gao Yuan knew, of course. Donghuang was once the President. When he learned that the top executives of those consortiums had turned to Gao Yuan, if he were willing to lie low, it would be fine. But he was too old; he didn't have time. If he didn't fight this election, there wouldn't be a next one.

In this situation, if Donghuang wanted to make a comeback, his only reliance was those Rednecks, and now including some of the middle class...

Only those big shots and wealthy people knew how terrifying Gao Yuan was and didn't want to make trouble.

How could Donghuang not know? But he had no more chances; he had to take a gamble...

At worst, he'd die! He was about at that age anyway.

Gao Yuan thought of this and suddenly laughed.

"Issue a notice, sternly condemning the atrocious behavior of Americans smashing and looting Black Fish Technology stores!"

"And then? And then?"

Zhang Baiyi was excited.

"That's it..."

"That's it? Isn't this... being a coward? What's the use of a condemnation?"

Gao Yuan smiled but said nothing...

Donghuang wanted to take power, so those big shots would naturally block him. Of course, Gao Yuan would also order those robots to block Donghuang...

If Donghuang went through official channels, those elite liberals had a hundred ways to make him fail again.

But Donghuang's appeal among the common people was indeed quite strong...

When the time came and an unwilling Donghuang gave the order after failing again...

America would start a grand revolution, with the proletariat uniting to overthrow tyranny...

Maybe it wouldn't even get to that point, after all, the food crisis was already here.

"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about things abroad anymore!"

Gao Yuan said.
