Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Everything is ready, now what we need is the east wind!
After the national anthem was played, Chen Yang didn't remain idle.
There was still one final step in his plan.
He picked up his phone and dialed the number for Longguo Bank.
On the phone, as the king of Yan Guo, he requested Longguo Bank to assist in opening a government budget account.
Longguo Bank seemed surprised, but as surprising as it was, the other party was indeed the king of a country. Even if that country consisted of only one person.
Furthermore, Chen Yang provided the seal and relevant official documents. Additionally, now that Chen Yang was popular nationwide, Longguo Bank didn't want to cause any trouble and quickly handled the matter for him.
After the successful opening, the bank would send him all relevant information about the bank card via text message. He would only need to log in via phone or computer to operate it.
Next, he opened corresponding budget accounts in Japan as well as in European and American countries.
After opening government budget accounts in various countries, Chen Yang accessed the backend of Yan Guo's official website and edited an announcement: "Yan Guo launches the first installment of national bonds, worth 6.9 billion dollars."
Yes, public debt!
Another form of crowdfunding.
Compared to simple money donations, government bonds can be an attractive option, as they not only provide initial capital but also generate interest returns.
Although the gap in the first phase of Yan Guo's urban construction is about 2.7 billion, this is just the initial phase of infrastructure construction.
After the completion of urban land transportation construction, housing construction will begin, followed by the construction of a second and even a third city.
Money will be needed at every stage of the process, and the initial 2.7 billion won't be enough.
"6.9 billion, I don't think it will last long."
But as long as the preliminary construction is completed and the first step is taken, the path ahead will be much easier.
After editing the article, he didn't rush to publish it.
Instead, he grabbed his phone and recorded another video.
The video was short, only ten seconds.
In it, he only said one thing: that he would start a live broadcast at 8 a.m. (Dragon Kingdom time) tomorrow, where he would announce several important events.
After releasing this video, he recorded a second one in English, informing that the live broadcast would start at 8 p.m. (U.S. time) the following day.
These two videos instantly topped the trending searches in various countries.
"Wasn't the national anthem already a big deal enough?"
"What grand movement will this be tomorrow?"
"I thought the national anthem was already a big event, but it seems it was just a prelude."
"I'm so excited I can hardly sleep!"
"The alarm is set, can't wait for the live broadcast tomorrow!"
Some businessmen from various countries just smiled lightly when they saw the buildup to Chen Yang's live broadcast.
Others may not be able to guess completely, but they have an idea of what Chen Yang might reveal tomorrow.
They suspect he's ready to make a move that involves profit.
From the start, they didn't believe Chen Yang was really interested in founding a country.
Even though he announced the establishment of the Yan Guo Kingdom, they remained skeptical.
Buying an island and declaring it a completely independent country? It seemed too absurd to be true.
In his views, the ultimate goal of Chen Yang's series of actions is to make money!
And, judging by the results, he succeeded.
Now, the whole world is paying attention, and his popularity is phenomenal.
If you don't capitalize on your popularity to make money, then when?
But it's undeniable that this man is talented. Just look at his series of operations.
He designed the national flag, created the national emblem, drafted the constitution, and composed the national anthem...
And the quality of that national anthem is excellent. From this perspective, it's undisputed that he's a talent.
An ordinary person wouldn't be able to accomplish all of this.
After the video was released, Chen Yang continued to read comments from internet users around the world.
They are right to think that the release of the national anthem is laying the groundwork for tomorrow's live broadcast.
It seems that this operation was extremely successful.
He can almost imagine the reaction of internet users when they see the changes on the island during tomorrow's live broadcast.
And he fears that it won't just be internet users who will be shocked. Even politicians and capitalists from around the world would find it incredible.
Chen Yang fell asleep, but internet users from all over the world couldn't sleep because of his teaser video.
They are too curious.
After all, even a national anthem of such high quality is just preparation for tomorrow's live broadcast.
What will he announce during this live broadcast? The suspense is palpable.
The island was shrouded in the darkness of the night, so thick that hardly anything could be seen.
With the sunrise, a new day dawned. After washing up and having breakfast, Chen Yang settled on the deck, waiting calmly.
At ten in the morning, eight in Dragon Time and eight in the evening in the United States, the moment arrived. Hundreds of millions of people around the world crowded in front of their mobile devices, eagerly awaiting the next live broadcast.
Finally, the moment arrived. Chen Yang began the live broadcast simultaneously.
The instant the broadcast began, the number of viewers in both live streaming rooms, domestically and internationally, instantly surpassed 10 million! Twenty million, thirty million...
In the end, the number of online viewers domestically exceeded 50 million, while those from abroad reached over 80 million!
At DouYin headquarters, the head of the technical department looked at the displayed data in the background, his eyelids twitching, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chen Yang had notified them in advance to activate extra servers.
Otherwise, this sudden surge in traffic would have brought down Douyin within minutes.
"The Big Brother is on the air!"
"What's the news, boss?"
"I've been up all night. Please tell us quickly, boss! I'm going to bed as soon as I hear."
Internet users from all over the world pleaded frantically.
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and then said, "Today, I have two important announcements to make."
