"This is bad, President Feng! The company's stock price is plummeting again, and this time it's falling much faster than before!" the trader shouted again.
All the people who had completely relaxed were suddenly serious again, their eyes fixed tightly on the large screen in front of them.
This is too crazy. When will it end?!
Everyone was considering this question. Can't they give us a moment of peace?
"What exactly happened?" Feng Yueyue asked, appearing relatively calm. She immediately had someone investigate the cause.
Just then, Zhang Hua took out his phone, his expression turning grim. He quickly turned on the nearby TV, flipping to a specific channel.
"According to information obtained by this station, ever since the company went public, there have been successive reports of counterfeit products. The Administration for Industry and Commerce has taken decisive action, raiding over one thousand suppliers!"
"The amount involved in this case exceeds two hundred million yuan. Relevant departments are continuing their investigation and have ordered the company to undergo an immediate and comprehensive rectification..."
As the news broadcast played on TV, the meeting room erupted.
"How could the company be exposed for selling counterfeit goods? How could they make such a foolish mistake?"
"It's already on the news, so it must be true!"
"No wonder the stock price has fallen so sharply this time. It's all over... There's no coming back from this."
Everyone panicked again. The power of the media was terrifying, especially since the official state media had already taken action. At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that the company's stock price could not be saved. There was simply no way to turn things around.
"President Feng, we can't hesitate any longer! We must sell immediately! If we don't act now, it'll be too late. Any more money we lose will be gone forever, with no chance of getting it back!" Chen Hua urged, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
For them, the money bleeding away every second was gone forever. In a situation like this, any protection they had was meaningless.
"Don't panic. Let me call Mr. Chen and see what he thinks," Feng Yueyue said, taking a deep breath. Without hesitation, she dialed Chen Zheng's number.
Standing on the rooftop, Chen Zheng furrowed his brow slightly when he answered the call. Like the others, he seemed a little surprised.
"Don't tell me this is your trump card," Chen Zheng said, narrowing his eyes as he glanced at Ma Wenyan. "You did all this just to leak the news about counterfeit goods?"
The problem of counterfeit goods is inevitable online. Even physical malls and stores have fakes. No one can completely eradicate them, but for this news to break at this exact moment... that changes everything. Without a doubt, this incident has to be related to Ronghua Group!
"Chen Zheng, you may have some ability, but you're still far too young. Do you really think the world is that simple?" Ma Wenyan sneered, shaking his head mockingly.
"If you choose to sell now to cut your losses, there's still time. But in this confrontation, I'm still the one who has won!"
"Are you sure?" A cold smirk played on Chen Zheng's lips. He picked up his phone and issued an order, "Keep buying!"
Upon hearing his order, both Ma Wenyan and Feng Yueyue on the other end of the phone were shocked.
In the current situation, with virtually no chance of recovery, continuing to buy was akin to suicide. Nobody expected Chen Zheng to make such a choice.
"Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Continue!"
After Chen Zheng issued the order, he hung up the phone.
Ma Wenyan chuckled softly beside him and slowly shook his head. "Young man, it seems you're the type who won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. You will pay the ultimate price for your arrogance!"
"Then we'll just have to wait and see," Chen Zheng replied, his expression calm.
In the meeting room, Feng Yueyue also gave the order to keep buying, but the board members exploded in response.
They couldn't understand why they should keep buying at a time like this. What on earth was Chen Zheng doing?
The sudden appearance of two other groups doing everything in their power to protect the stock had been completely unexpected. But now that the story was on the news, it was an unstoppable force beyond their control.
The entire market for their stock was collapsing. How could they possibly protect it now? If this continued, they would all go down with the ship!
"President Feng, we absolutely disagree with buying more! It's no different from suicide!"
"That's right! Mr. Chen is an outsider. President Feng, you mustn't continue this folly at a time like this!"
"We will not agree to this! We demand to speak with the Chairman and let him make the final decision!"
Many of the shareholders began to protest, unwilling to watch their money be thrown into a pit.
Feng Yueyue exhaled deeply and looked up at everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, I fully understand what you're all thinking right now!"
"But with less than twenty minutes until the market halt, selling now is pointless!"
"We've been fighting Ronghua Group for so long. If we concede now, are you really willing?"
"Even if we concede defeat this time, do you think Ronghua Group will let us off the hook next time?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They had to admit, her words made a lot of sense.
They were in a life-or-death struggle with Ronghua Group. If they were completely crushed this time, they would never get another chance.
"Buy!" Feng Yueyue ordered through gritted teeth. As the market halt approached, the price continued to plummet.
At that moment, no one dared to breathe. When the closing bell rang, every face in the room turned pale. This time, there was no miracle.
In other words... they had failed utterly. It was a miserable defeat, with losses of at least five billion.
Some people couldn't stop themselves from breaking down into tears.
The price of failure was devastating. They had worked their entire lives, only to see it all turn to ash in a single day. The feeling was simply too cruel.
Some were so furious they swore they would call the police and have Chen Zheng arrested. There has to be something wrong with him! He must be an undercover agent from Ronghua Group!
Feng Yueyue also seemed to lose all her strength. She collapsed onto the sofa, speechless for a long time, her mind a complete blank.
She had hoped for a miracle, but reality had just slapped her hard across the face...
