"Second question, there are reports saying your acquisition funds for the Yiboli Automobile Factory were borrowed from domestic banks. Is this true?"

"Of course it's false," Chen Yiyang immediately replied. "I've always hated using bank money since I started doing business. If I have money, I'll invest; if not, I won't. So this is a complete rumor.

If anyone has evidence of me borrowing over a hundred million from a bank, I welcome them to show it, and I'm willing to give them a prize of one million."

This aversion to borrowing from banks is something Chen Yiyang is quite proud of.

He mostly just mortgaged future box office earnings from invested films to banks in exchange for cash.

But he rarely directly borrows from banks.

Mainly because his cash flow has always been strong.

Initially from antiques and later from a livestream sales company and a gaming company, providing him with endless funds.

Admittedly, the cash in his hands is now somewhat tight.

But it's definitely enough to cover current expenses.

He truly spent just one US Dollar on acquiring the Yiboli Automobile Factory and later can earn commissions continuously from the Marco Clan and domestic fish gelatin merchants.

After asking Chen Yiyang several more questions, the official media reporter found that they couldn't uncover anything significant.

Obviously, the reporter also began to lack interest in asking further questions.

Chen Yiyang certainly understands that reporters need sensational news.

Everyone likes gossip, regardless of its truth.

But debunking news generally doesn't get much attention.

If the interview continues like this, few people will read it when published.

So Chen Yiyang took the initiative to bring up a matter.

"Speaking of cash flow, I recently invested in a very profitable company; this company provides me with a large amount of cash every month."

"Which company?" the reporter asked casually.

"A gaming company, but we're not doing business domestically; the games are mainly targeted at Middle Eastern players."

After saying this, Chen Yiyang explained to the reporter how his investment in the gaming company developed in the Middle East.

This topic immediately attracted the reporter's attention, who asked Chen Yiyang many details.

It was evening by the time Chen Yiyang saw the reporter out.

"I slipped the travel expense into the reporter's bag, saying it was a commemorative postcard."

After the reporter left, the small accountant came in.

After hearing this, Chen Yiyang rolled his eyes, "You've learned bad things."

"Nonsense, what're you pretending for? Wasn't the envelope you gave me for the reporter; or was it meant for me?" The small accountant immediately got grumpy.

"Alright, this interview was just to leave evidence and topics for future public opinion reversal; your boss, my personal image is ruined now."

Chen Yiyang certainly didn't expect a single news report to completely negate Changcheng's smear campaign domestically.

But at least on an official level, he cleared the misunderstandings.

Whether he took loans or not was clarified.

No one knows if it was the news Chen Yiyang provided about gaming in the Middle East that worked, or the small amount of travel expenses in the envelope.

The reporter released a simple news piece on social media the next day, explaining Yiyang Automobile's acquisition of the Yiboli Automobile Factory in Brazil.

Once the news report was out, Chen Yiyang immediately logged onto his social media account, shared the news, and thoughtfully added a line of text.

"Rather sell to my newly established Yiyang Automobile for one US Dollar than to some companies for three hundred million Euros. Some companies really need to reflect."

Chen Yiyang didn't specify which companies in his post.

But then he logged into the small accountant's phone and mentioned the Changcheng Company official account in the comment section of his post.

Chen Yiyang's social media account has quite a number of followers.

Officially, over two million followers, but domestic platforms are known to automatically boost numbers with ghost followers to make accounts look high-end.

So Chen Yiyang estimates he truly has about forty thousand active followers.

Which is still a terrifying number.

Some followers are esports fans who came after he became the owner of the Extreme Path Team.

Others are entertainment fans due to continuous mentions by various entertainment accounts and his role as the boss of Yang Jinlu and Song Xi.

The rest are miscellaneous followers without a clear reason for following him.

One characteristic of these followers is their youth and tendency to stir up trouble.

Once Chen Yiyang randomly posted a dynamic, these followers saw it immediately.

After some inquiry, they understood the situation.

Simply put, Changcheng Company's plan to acquire an automobile factory in Brazil was disrupted by Chen Yiyang, and Changcheng accused Chen Yiyang of offering double the market price, thereby squeezing them out of the acquisition.

But now Chen Yiyang spoke up.

Who said I paid a high price? I spent just one US Dollar!

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face for Changcheng?

You offered three hundred million Euros, but they didn't sell; yet Chen Yiyang acquired it for just one US Dollar.

Soon, many followers started playing with the one US Dollar acquisition meme online.

"I'll personally head to Brazil," Wei Yujun couldn't sit still upon seeing this scene.

He originally thought Chen Yiyang had offered a high price.

But now news reveals, a one US Dollar acquisition of the Yiboli Automobile Factory!

This means, instead of thinking Chen Yiyang was the sucker, it's now apparent that Changcheng was in that role.

Changcheng invested significant effort and money in Brazil.

Now the acquisition fell through, and due to Chen Yiyang's one US Dollar deal, many within Changcheng are questioning the soundness of the original plan, suspecting internal corruption.

Why didn't Changcheng's three hundred million Euro offer succeed, when someone else secured it for one US Dollar?

Is Changcheng's pricing merely to bribe local interest groups?

Due to the Marco Clan's distrust in Changcheng, is that why the acquisition fell through?

With matters reaching this stage, Wei Yujun needs to personally visit Brazil, to find out what really happened locally.

Meanwhile, Wei Hanyu isn't idle.

Now determined to completely sever ties with Chen Yiyang. She needs to crush him in the shortest time possible, preferably ruining him legally and socially, not just smearing.

With her network activated, she quickly received unexpected news.

"Are you saying that Chen Yiyang is likely a commercial spy, colluding with several South Koreans, suspected of illegally purchasing confidential technologies from a South Korean military drone contractor?"
