But because of the news, they had to put this statement out as they did not want to be associated with those billionaires setting up the net.
People who bought the shares did not care about this and were bombarding both companies online. While Jiang Group replied to the people, the WayFlower Group still did not give a statement.
This is normal, as the shareholders who were the actual controllers were on their retreat and would not be able to respond to this until tomorrow.
By the time they responded, the storm had already passed. When they come back, they will not only have to deal with an angry crowd but also a company that has lost the confidence of investors. This results in them selling their stocks and banks demanding the money back as they have lost trust in them due to the slow response from the company.
Although this does not mean that the company will go bankrupt, the slow response has caused them to lose a lot of reputation, leading investors and other companies working with or planning to work with them to rethink their choices.
This happened in Xu Qianghua's past life. Due to the late response from the shareholders and the CEO being photographed in bars without any care for the company, they lost a lot of money.
When the shareholders came back a few days later, they were angry and sad as their shares lost a lot of value.
Many companies that were friendly with them or working with them had broken their contracts because they either did not trust the WayFlower Group or knew the company was going to lose a lot of its value and cut their losses in time, potentially targeting their industries to bite out a few pieces.
Xu Qianghua knew this because it happened to the Xu Group in both his last life and this life.
The only difference is that in their last life, they lost all of their money except for the house they were living in and the few cars in their basement.
As for Shadow not helping them, they wanted to but they did not have a good reason to help as Xu Group was being investigated with one of the shareholders as the main suspect.
But they did help with clearing Liu Meiying from the fake evidence, but they could not help with the company itself.
Even though they wanted to help, if they did, the Xu Group would be suspected of involvement with Shadow, and enemies who did not like Shadow's way of doing things would come after Xu Qianghua and his family.
So Xu Qianghua and Liu Meiying lost the company, but now the whole situation changed as Xu Qianghua and his group made a lot of money these few days, which will be their springboard when the game merges.
"So now we just have to wait until the new policy change comes in, then we short the Jiang Group," Xu Qianghua thought as he kept looking at the news.
After that, he put his terminal aside and went to Liu Meiying's office to check how things are going.
"Sister Meiying, how are things going?" he asked as he entered the room.
"Ara, you are finally here," she said as she looked up from the holographic monitor.
Xu Qianghua went behind her and hugged her, then looked at the monitor to see the situation.
Although he did not know exactly how everything worked, he still had some ideas as Liu Meiying usually teaches this to Liu Anwei, and he just listens.
"Seems like everything is going well," he said while one of his hands grabbed her boobs and then started kneading it.
"Mmm, yeah, everything is going well. After some time, the stock market will start putting in restrictions until we are barred from trading the shares for the WayFlower Group.
As for the Jiang Group, they are still trying to cope with the quick selling of the shares to deal with the short sellers," she said, her eyes closing momentarily from the pleasure.
Xu Qianghua then lifted her up and sat down in her seat, positioning her on his lap with her back against his chest.
He put his other hand on her flat and smooth belly and started drawing circles with his fingers.
They stayed like this until Su Meixue came in and called them for lunch, which Liu Meiying asked her to bring to the office as she wanted to be there if anything happened.
Xu Qianghua agreed with her, so they both ate in the office as they watched the stock line for the WayFlower go down in a steady line while the Jiang Group's line was slowing down.
When Liu Meiying saw this, she shut down her position and told her subordinates to do the same.
After lunch, they sat there until 4 pm when the stock market closed for the day.
After that, they left the room and went to the main hall where everyone was waiting for the final tally of the amount of money they made yesterday and today.
Due to them spending 45 billion luminas on each company, they made a total of around 65 billion combined.
They made this much because of the price increase from the first day and also being the first group to short.
So they were able to get the most amount for the past two days. They could earn more in the following days, but it will not be as much as others have already shorted as much as possible.
"Now all we have to do is wait for the new policies to come out, and we can get the final bit of money before the change comes," Xu Qianghua said as he sat next to Liu Meiying and then put his head on her lap.
Then he looked up but only saw her boobs which made him sigh. 'Damn, although I love this, I cannot see sister Meiying's face.'
"Sister Lian, do you know when the new policies are coming out?" Xu Qianghua asked, wanting to confirm the exact day when his last money-making plan would start.
