Chen Hao asked while eating a skewer of kidneys, "Second Grandpa, what does your Second Grandpa's company do?"
Seeing several of them frantically replenishing themselves with kidneys, Jiang Cheng felt he couldn't lose. He immediately grabbed a handful and started eating.
While eating, he said, "Mingsheng Group. Don't say, these roasted kidneys are quite flavorful, not worse than the ones back home."
"Of course, that skewer you just ate was beef kidney. Very nourishing. Wait, what did you just say?? Mingsheng Group... What!!! Your Second Grandpa is from Mingsheng Group!" Wang Zheng was originally calm, but after reacting, his pupils dilated instantly. By the end, he even spat out the kidney in his mouth.
Chen Hao, who was nearby, gave Wang Zheng a look of disgust before also saying in shock, "Holy crap, so it's Mingsheng Group. No wonder. Mingsheng Group is a leader in the energy industry."
Wang Congcong's eyes flickered on the side.
Last time, he had only heard it was Jiang Cheng's grandfather, but he didn't expect it was actually a 'Second Grandpa'.
He spoke tentatively, "So it's your Second Grandpa? I thought he was your biological grandfather. Didn't they say last time that you're the next heir to Mingsheng Group?"
Facing Wang Congcong's question, Jiang Cheng remembered what Shen Chong had said last time—that he was the only grandson in the Jiang family line.
Although he didn't know if his Second Grandpa had any sons, it was certain that he had no grandsons.
Besides, Shen Chong probably wouldn't joke about such a thing.
"He is my Second Grandpa, and I am indeed the heir."
Just then, Qin Fen spoke up: "Then you still have a grandfather, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng gave a mysterious smile: "Naturally. Otherwise, do you think I jumped out of a crack in a rock?"
Except for Qi Yuan, no one else present knew the specifics of Jiang Cheng's background.
Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Qi Yuan assumed Jiang Cheng didn't want them to know his true background and immediately interjected: "Let's not talk about that. Let's get to business. Brother Cheng, Tesla's stock has dropped from $298 a share to $220. When are we planning to clear our positions?"
Seeing Qi Yuan shift the topic to this, everyone's minds began to race.
However, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to discuss this particular issue with them.
After all, he hadn't even fully figured this matter out himself yet.
After a full night of fermentation, the news about Tesla naturally had a growing impact in the Pretty Country.
Many Tesla owners united to denounce Tesla's inaction, technical deficiencies, and driving safety issues.
At this point, even if Tesla realized the severity of the situation and wanted to seek a solution to appease them, it was already too late.
After all, in China, under the deliberate manipulation of these few people, the heat of the entire incident only increased.
And in the Pretty Country, it had only just begun to ferment, reaching its peak intensity.
Even if Tesla repeatedly announced that its data was normal, it was to no avail.
In the eyes of the general public, Tesla's wave of statements seemed like an attempt to shirk responsibility.
Their explanation was just short of saying it was Luo Jia's own fault—that her improper operation caused the accident.
This buck-passing approach further incited public outrage.
These people didn't want to see Tesla's data at all; everyone just wanted to know why such a thing as brake failure suddenly occurred.
Moreover, everyone's demands were very clear: they wanted Tesla to admit its mistake, recall all vehicles from the same period, and fix the systems.
Furthermore, they demanded compensation for the accident, and even more so, for the restoration of Luo Jia's damaged appearance.
How could the arrogant Tesla possibly take the netizens' demands seriously?
After all, their cars were positioned as million-level luxury vehicles.
Regarding such demands, Tesla stated they simply couldn't do it; it was impossible.
Moreover, according to the data they checked, Luo Jia's brake failure was not a problem with the car itself.
But even if that were the case, the gossip-hungry online masses would never believe it.
In their anger, Tesla chose to simply ignore it.
They were the leaders in new energy vehicles and held an absolute advantage in this market.
So, the arrogant Tesla chose to tough out the incident, throwing a set of data at the netizens and then remaining silent.
However, while Tesla's management was tough, their stock was the first to take the hit. It couldn't hold up and began to plummet as soon as the market opened.
The stock price dropped by over fifty dollars at the opening. By the time Tesla realized and tried to remedy it, it was already useless, as waves of protests continued to arrive.
But Tesla was no pushover either. Jiang Cheng knew that once it dropped to $200, they would definitely intervene to save the market.
At that time, Tesla's stock would rise again.
"We'll pull out when it's around 200, but after that, we can take the opportunity to shear another wave of wool."
When Jiang Cheng said this, the others understood instantly.
Qin Fen immediately said: "You mean we take the chance to buy in at a low price, wait for the stock to bounce back, and then sell it to profit from the price difference."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes widened: "Holy crap, wouldn't that be a double profit?"
The group discussed the Tesla matter while eating roasted oysters.
~~~~Ps: I didn't expect it to be true as you guys said, she's pregnant.
With my current age and financial situation, it's impossible to raise a child. I've been very bothered these past two days, which has affected the updates.
I have to go to the hospital in a couple of days, I'm crying..."
