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.

Kapitel 37: The Final incident end

In the Jiang Headquarters

In the President's office on the highest floor

BOOM

A million luminas worth vase was thrown by Jiang Wei; he was furious about the new policies and how they would affect the entire company.

"AAAHHHH"

The people outside the room glanced in that direction and sighed, knowing the reason for his outburst.

"Why, why does this keep happening one after another?" Jiang Wei said, clutching his hair in frustration.

"Just after the incident with the WayFlower Group, I thought the company would improve with the new batteries starting their initial testing. But now I have to deal with these new changes. Why is this happening to me?" He exclaimed loudly, pounding his fist on the desk.

His anger stemmed from the fact that the new policies were targeting their real estate industry, which was the first company opened by his great grand parents and is the core industry of their group. It was not his fault; by the time he became president, the industry was deeply embedded in the company, making change nearly impossible without disrupting the entire group.

This realization infuriated him because it meant their company was in serious trouble unless they could turn things around in their struggling real estate division, or they would face significant financial losses.

To make matters worse, the high costs associated with the batteries research limited their cash flow.

Before he could ponder a solution,

BANG

The office door was slammed open as his assistant rushed in with a panicked expression.

"Sir, our stocks are being shorted right now," he said urgently.

"What? How could they move so fast?" Jiang Wei asked, completely caught off guard. Not many people knew about their group's precarious position, and yet their stocks were already under attack.

And this was true, as the only ones shorting them were Xu Qianghua's group and a few others who just went with the flow.

"I don't know, sir, but they shorted with a lot of money, as if they knew about this already," the assistant said.

"Huh?" Jiang Wei was confused. Although they had a lot of enemies, they would not react this fast unless they had insider information about the new policy.

But he did not have time to think about this, as more people would join in to short their stocks since many were still paying attention, and this new shorting had caught their attention.

Soon, many more people started to short their shares, and the stock price was going down at an alarming rate, which in turn caught the attention of more people and the media.

Many media companies started to publish stories about this new turn of events and discussed reasons as to why this could be happening.

But while everyone was baffled by this new development, the investment section of the Jiang Group was having a meltdown as every higher-up was coming into their section and going off on them.

But they couldn't do anything other than throw money into this to slow down the stock price drop, as they knew they would lose a lot of money after one of their core industries shut down or downsized so much that it would no longer be a core industry.

"What are our options?" Jiang Wei came in, loosening his tie, and asked.

"We can try to reduce a lot of the real estate industry and then streamline it so that it can be accepted with the new policy, but that would take a lot of time and money," one of the strategy experts who came along with Jiang Wei said.

"But do we have enough money to do that?" Another strategist asked.

"We don't have enough in the company funds, but we can get more," the first strategist said as he looked at Jiang Wei.

"I will think of a way. Just make sure that the stock market shares do not crash," Jiang Wei said as he then left the room.

However, things did not go as Jiang Wei had hoped, as more and more people started to short the Jiang Group and the other companies affected by this new rule change's stocks.

In the villa area,

Xu Qianghua and the others continued watching as the Jiang Group's stock prices plummeted, but that did not last long. Jiang Wei found several ways to slowly boost the stock price.

This did not surprise Xu Qianghua much, as he knew it mirrored his past life. Jiang Wei had sold off many unused company and personal properties to weather the storm and simultaneously rallied the shareholders.

These shareholders were not as problematic as those of the Xu Group; they supported Jiang Wei's efforts knowing the inherent risks in business, unlike Xu Qianghua's parents' shareholders.

As a few hours passed, numerous news articles reported on small companies closing down or downsizing due to policy changes. This sparked widespread discontent among many, while others were pleased.

The latter included Xu Qianghua and his group, who were the first to short the companies, resulting in earnings beyond their expectations.

They amassed around 85 billion luminas, combining totals from the Jiang Group and roughly 12 to 13 other companies. By month's end, they had accumulated approximately 245.5 billion luminas—a staggering sum that meant Xu Qianghua could make significant purchases in the upcoming game mall accompanying the game launch.

"We should celebrate," Liu Anwei remarked upon seeing the total amount they had earned that month.

"We should," everyone in the room nodded, then turned to Xu Qianghua.

"Okay," Xu Qianghua nodded back, asking, "Then what do you guys want to do?"

"Hmm, how about we go somewhere scenic and enjoy ourselves before the change comes," Liu Meiying asked.

'Hmmm, that should be fine, as we only need to have our terminals with us to log into the game before it merges because after that we will all be teleported to either where we picked before the game merged or randomly by the World's Will,' Xu Qianghua thought.

"Okay, we can go anywhere with a good network where we can all rest and have fun," Xu Qianghua said.
