Chapter 1037: Avoiding like Poison
Chapter 1037: Avoiding like Poison
The reason Chu Xiaoran had done this was because he was angry. If they wanted to attack him, they should take a good look at the consequences! Chu Xiaoran had purposefully brought about the economic instability in T City. The second reason was because he had gotten used to his power. He had gotten used to being feared and fawned upon wherever he went. Change the prices just because they told him to? What a joke!
However, Chu Xiaoran never imagined that the government wouldn’t come to him and compromise. Chu Xiaoran could only wipe at his face. He was furious. Furthermore, the reporters were asking whether those products would stop being produced just as previously said.
Not only was he losing monopoly over those markets, he couldn’t even produce those products anymore?
This dealt Chu Xiaoran a huge blow.
The current Chu Xiaoran couldn’t very well retreat, but also couldn’t advance. If he continued on, there would probably be more issues waiting for him. However, if he retreated, the power of the company would decrease by a huge amount. There were coveting malicious dogs all around waiting to pounce on the unguarded meat.
Chu Xiaoran was infuriated. He had actually fallen into the trap of an ant. No, the trap of the government. Did they think they could defeat him just by pushing an ant forward to oppose him?
Then he’ll make T City’s economy fall fully into chaos.
Chu Xiaoran threw all his reserve products onto the market and made the price half of the original. It was much cheaper than the products that were moving into T City’s marketplace.
Right now it was a price war. Chu Xiaoran paid no attention to profits and used a low price to crowd out the other products. He was acting in a fit of rage.
In response to this, all Ning Shu could say was that if the heavens wanted to exterminate the humans, they must first drive the humans mad. His actions were clearly damaging himself in order to hurt the enemy. Furthermore, he was opposing the government. It would be strange of the government actually tolerated him despite this.
Chu Xiaoran wanted to use the price in order to crowd out the other products on the market, but soon it was discovered that there were toxic substances in Chu Xiaoran’s products. Following that, a series of specialists started explaining the effects of these toxic substances on TV in deadpan earnest, explaining the ways in which they harmed the human body, saying that the ways in which they harmed the heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were irreversible and so on.
The public believed it all blindly. When they heard what these specialists said, they stopped buying products from Chu Xiaoran’s company. They were avoiding them like they were poison.
Ning Shu sent Chu Xiaoran a legal letter to have him stop producing these products and demanded that all the products on the market be taken off the shelves.
Chu Xiaoran completely lost monopoly on these products and would even lose the right to produce them forever. The certificates had already been revoked.
There were way too many ways for the higher ups to mess with someone.
The government had given Chu Xiaoran price suggestion documents. If he had adjusted the prices according to the document, these incidents wouldn’t have occurred. Even though he wouldn’t be able to earn as much, he’d still be able to turn a profit, but he hadn’t been willing.
Chu Xiaoran acted like he wanted to overthrow the sky, so he’d just have to face the fate of being crushed like Sun Wukong.
When Chu Xiaoran got the letter from Ning Shu, he got so angry that he ripped it to shreds. He rubbed his pounding forehead. During this time, Chu Xiaoran even got blisters near his mouth. He was under a lot of pressure.
The board of directors were questioning his ability to deal with this crisis. Chu Xiaoran just wanted to kick these people down the stairs. In the past, they hadn’t dared to even let out a fart. Whenever they earned money, they’d just laugh happily. Now they were jumping out one by one with the guts to point at him and criticize him!?
The company’s stocks were dropping like a bungee plunge. All the parties that held Chu Xiaoran’s company’s stocks were selling them off like crazy. However, it wasn’t possible to sell just because they wanted to, so this counted as a severe loss of money.
Some of the stockholders even came to Chu Xiaoran’s company to raise a ruckus.
Chu Xiaoran rubbed his forehead as he leaned against his chair. He closed his eyes like he was sleeping or simply waiting.
When Xia Xiaoman walked into the office, she saw Chu Xiaoran with his eyes closed wearily. Xia Xiaoman felt a lot of heartache for him as she set down the soup she brought.
When Chu Xiaoran heard movement, he opened his eyes. He saw that Xia Xiaoman was wearing a dress that revealed her spotlessly fair calves. Her facial color was nicely flushed and she seemed very happy.
“I simmered some soup for you, try it.” As Xia Xiaoman spoke, she poured Chu Xiaoran a bowl of soup and gave it to him. “Drink some.”
Chu Xiaoran took the bowl as he glanced at Xia Xiaoman. “Why are you here? Did something happen?”
