Kapitel 35: Jiang Group

"The policy will come in a few days," Su Lian said while checking her terminal.

"Okay, then we just have to wait until then, and later we can have a celebration party," Xu Qianghua said, a smile slowly appearing.

"Hmm?" The girls saw his smile; some knew what that meant, while others were still clueless for now.

Meanwhile, in the Jiang Headquarters, in a huge meeting room:

"Who can explain why this is happening?" a man in a modern suit asked angrily as he looked around at the shareholders and leaders of the company.

The man is Jiang Wei. He is 45 years old and is the head of the Jiang family and the President of the board of shareholders.

He has short, thinning black hair with gray at the temples, and dark brown eyes. Standing at 5'8" with a pot belly, he maintains a commanding presence.

He was angry because they were all smiling yesterday due to the increase in their company's stock prices. But before they could capitalize on it, someone revealed the real news about the purchase of the batteries.

"We are still searching for the people who revealed the news and, at the same time, for the people who first published the fake news," one of the shareholders said.

"You must hurry up, as we do not have a lot of time before we lose more money," Jiang Wei said.

He was really angry because just yesterday, he was really excited about the stock price increase, even though he knew it was based on false information. He planned to use this to boost the company's value as the company had already started the initial testing for the new battery.

But they still need a few more days before they have enough data to patent this and then use this incident to publicize the new batteries. He wanted to do this so that he could get some funding from other companies and then increase their company's value.

However, now they have to find ways to appease the general public and at the same time invest more money in the stock market to cope with the massive loss in stock price.

So, they are trying to find the people who caused this mess. If they are weaker than them, then they will demand money or use the same tactics and take over their business. But if they are on a similar level, the options are limited, and the only option is to take them to court and expose them to the public.

Lastly, there are people they cannot afford to offend. If it was them, then they could only swallow their loss and move on.

Jiang Wei does not hope it is the last one, as that would mean a loss of a lot of money without anything back. But if it is the other two options, they will fight until they reach an agreement that both Jiang Wei and the shareholders can agree on.

"Use all the connections we have, but find out who these people are by the end of the day," Jiang Wei said as he huffed and left the room.

The shareholders and the management watched Jiang Wei leave, and then they also sighed collectively and left the room to contact people who might have ideas as to who caused all this chaos.

Jiang Wei went back to his office and started calling anyone who might have an idea, and he was successful.

During these few hours, he called almost everyone he knew, trying to find out who published the fake news and he was able to find out who they were.

"These losers who do not know anything else other than putting up false information and then making money out of it," Jiang Wei found out who started the whole debacle and was furious.

He was mad because the billionaires who did this were popular in the business world for doing these kinds of things.

They made their money by doing similar things but on a much smaller scale. Jiang Wei did not expect that they would now come after his company.

"Now that I have found out who started this, all that's left is to find the people responsible for leaking the news about the battery purchase being false," he said as he went back to calling people.

But even after he called everyone, he could not find who the leakers were. Just when he was about to look for others—

BANG

The door of his office opened as a hurried figure ran in. The person then closed the door and locked it.

"What is wrong with you? Why do you seem like you ran a marathon? And why did you lock the door?" Jiang Wei asked multiple questions to the person who just ran in without knocking.

"Haaah Haaah, President, I found out who the leakers are," the person was the shareholder who spoke in the conference room a few hours ago.

"Oh? Who is it then?" Jiang Wei asked curiously.

"It's Shadow," the shareholder said with a sad tone and his shoulders slumped down.

"WHAAATT, why is it them?" Jiang Wei lost his composure when he heard who the leakers were.

"Shit, Shit," was the only thing he could say.

"What do you want to do now, Mr. Jiang?" the shareholder asked as he caught his breath.

"I found out who the instigators were, so we can only go after them," Jiang Wei said as he took a deep breath and then went back to sit in his seat.

"Yes, Mr. President," the shareholder said as he then left the room.

As for them dealing with Shadow? Please, although they are rich, that only applies to this city. Outside, they are just nobodies who have a good company in their hands.

So they have no way to deal with Shadow, and even if they did, they would not as that would lead to more retaliation from them, which is something they do not want.

Kapitel 36: The Final incident

So the next day, the Jiang Group put up a notice detailing who started this and how they planned to sue them for causing all these losses.

When the general populace saw this, their first reaction was disbelief because they did not expect the billionaires to make so much noise.

And on top of that, the Jiang Group did not reveal who had realized the real truth about this matter.

This surprised many people as this implied that whoever revealed the matter was someone the Jiang Group could not afford to provoke.

Some of the Presidents who were similar to Jiang Wei used their connections to find out who the leaker was, and when they did, they had the same reactions as Jiang Wei. Others just left the matter alone as they did not want to know who the person or group was.

So later that day, the Jiang Group confirmed that they had sued the billionaires for the damages to the stock prices.

This was met with a lot of applause from everyone as these billionaires were notorious for this and made a lot of people lose a lot of money, but they did not have any proof, which had left these billionaires free.

But now they had nowhere to go, which made everyone involved in this incident and the people who were duped by the billionaires in the past happy.

Xu Qianghua, who saw this, could not help but shake his head, as this had happened in his last life too, but it was after the whole incident occurred, and the ones that were suing them were not the Jiang Group but the WayFlower Group.

At that time, he was confused as to why the WayFlower Group sued them. He thought it was just to put the blame somewhere else, but now that he knew the whole matter, he understood why the events unfolded the way they did.

But Xu Qianghua did not care about this as he knew that it would be meaningless. By the time the billionaires and the Jiang Group went to court, the game would have already merged.

And the Jiang Group is still not out of the woods with the new policies regarding loans coming out.

And it's not just the Jiang Group that is in trouble. Other companies have used similar tactics to increase their value.

Liu Meiying is not going to leave them either when she starts shorting the Jiang Group. However, the other companies that have used this tactic are not as deep into it, or it is just a side industry for them, so they do not lose as much money as the Jiang Group.

'But anything is better than nothing, right?' Xu Qianghua thought as he scrolled through the comments on the post from the Jiang Group.

After a while, he closed the terminal because there was nothing else to check and he went back to enjoying his life with the girls.

A few days later...

At 9 am, a post from the government was attached to every news app available. At the same time, many news channels were talking about the post and its implications for everyone.

Yes, it was the new rule changes for the way loans are taken and how excessive loans are burdening the property sectors.

"So, Mr. Chen, can you explain how these policies can help the general populace and how they can be bad for some companies that rely on taking loans from the banks?" a beautiful news reporter asked Chen Guowei.

Chen Guowei is a famous expert in the field of finance. He usually appears on different live news channels to talk about new policies and rules set by the government.

He has all the features of an old man who usually gets invited to these kinds of events: mostly gray hair with a few strands of black, a face with slight wrinkles, and a slightly hunched posture.

"Yes, this is huge as a lot of companies take loans from banks to further invest in their projects, and with these new policies, we can see that the government does not want this to continue.

And we can see that the main focus of this new change is the real estate sector, as the government does not want companies to rapidly borrow money from banks to expand their operations.

This is because the government has seen cases where companies borrow money on a large scale and then do not pay it back on time as the real estate market has slowed down," Mr. Chen said as he looked at the news reporter.

"So what is the end result of these new rule changes?" the reporter asked.

"It curbs companies from taking too many loans and then spending them on their projects. This new rule also gives guidelines to the banks that want to lend money to these companies, so if something happens and the company goes down, the banks will have a harder time trusting other companies," Mr. Chen said.

This is similar to the Chinese "three red lines" policy but instead of it being implemented everywhere, the government decided to implement it in a small area to see how it affects daily life. If successful, they would implement it all around the world.

Xu Qianghua, who was watching this, could not help but sigh as this new policy would change the way people view real estate speculation. This new policy also means the end of an era where there are no regulations on the amount of money taken from banks.

He then goes to Liu Meiying's office to watch her as she shorts the Jiang Group and the other groups affected by these new changes.

"It's still shocking how one rule change could affect so many companies," Xu Qianghua said as he looked at the number of companies that were being shorted by Liu Meiying.

"Yeah, that's why they say if you want to make money, you have to take risks," Liu Meiying said as she continued to look for any changes.
