Chapter 217: 213. Stock Price Plummets (Seven Chapters Completed, Please Subscribe!)

Huamei Group.

Huang Lin looked at the data for Dasheng Pharmaceutical, where the two characters "Zhang Ran" were clearly written, and knew that Zhang Ran had begun to make his move.

"Don't you think all you men care about this? Why did Zhang Ran target this first, and I don't believe this was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Zhang Ran." Cheng Mei was also in Huang Lin's office at this time; during this period, the couple had basically been living at the company, which surprised many employees but also boosted their morale—if their own bosses were working this hard, they couldn't afford to slack off.

Huang Lin said with a wry smile, "Is your focus misplaced? What we should be thinking about now is how exactly the matter between Zhang Ran and Tian Yaohui will be resolved, and when it will be resolved."

Cheng Mei curled her lips and stopped talking about this topic.

However, Huang Lin became curious; would Zhang Ran really have kept this to himself? If he had such a good thing, why didn't he bring it out sooner?

But soon, Huang Lin cast the thought from his mind. He said to his wife in a low voice, "You were right about one thing just now; this shouldn't be a spur-of-the-moment decision by Zhang Ran. It's that Zhang Ran had a backup plan long ago, otherwise, how could a product be perfected so quickly?"

Cheng Mei also nodded and said, "You know Zhang Ran better; how many more backup plans do you think he has, and does he have any against us?"

Huang Lin shook his head and said, "I have never been able to see through Zhang Ran. He always gives me a feeling of being shrouded in mist, mysterious and unfathomable."

After finishing, he added, "However, Zhang Ran has never truly trusted people like us either, so he should have backup plans, just like with Tian Yaohui."

"If that's the case, then..." Huang Lin suddenly thought of other aspects.

"What?" Seeing Huang Lin stop, Cheng Mei asked curiously.

Huang Lin shook his head and said, "Nothing, perhaps I'm overthinking it."

Seeing that her husband didn't want to say more, Cheng Mei didn't ask further and steered the topic back to the current situation.

"You said if Zhang Ran has a backup plan for us at Huamei, what aspect would he come from?" Cheng Mei asked.

Huang Lin thought for a moment and said, "He shouldn't have a backup plan for us at Huamei. Firstly, Huamei deals in channels, not products; it's impossible for Zhang Ran to deal with us the way he is dealing with Tian Yaohui."

"Secondly, it's also because Zhang Ran didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre situation himself. Perhaps in his mind, people like us also couldn't escape his control."

"Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's true; if it weren't for this incident, we really would have no way out."

"Forget it, don't look for trouble for yourself. Maybe Zhang Ran can't do anything to us at all," Cheng Mei comforted him.

Huang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Do you believe that yourself?"

Cheng Mei immediately fell silent; she really didn't believe what she had just said.

"Then do you think we should help Tian Yaohui this time?" Cheng Mei said.

Huang Lin pondered, "Whether we help or not is another matter; let's see how the situation develops first. However, we cannot let Tian Yaohui lose too quickly, otherwise, he will have no value at all. At the very least, we need to force out some of the things Zhang Ran is hiding."

He thought of his previous guess, which made him very uneasy, so Huang Lin also prepared to change his decision temporarily.

Hearing Huang Lin's words, Cheng Mei also understood her husband's meaning. Although Huang Lin didn't say he would definitely help Tian Yaohui, as long as Tian Yaohui lost too quickly, Huang Lin would still selectively help him.

Moreover, neither Cheng Mei nor Huang Lin realized that they seemed to have never even considered that Tian Yaohui might win!

There were quite a few others who had the same thoughts as Huang Lin; they also wanted to see exactly how much Zhang Ran was still hiding.

While Tian Yaohui was still in a meeting, his secretary walked over with a nervous expression and whispered to him, "Chairman, it's not good. Our stock price has started to plummet; it has already fallen by 0.3%, and it's still falling continuously!"

Tian Yaohui's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He didn't expect the stock market's reaction to be so intense. Logically, it shouldn't be this fast, and "Yong Ge's" reputation was mainly in Europe and America right now; Huaxia shouldn't have reacted so quickly.

This was also the reason why he was holding the meeting and discussing things in a leisurely manner.

"Because of what?" Tian Yaohui asked.

"It's because Weiteng Group just pushed the news about Taylor in a hooligan-like manner, and Dasheng Pharmaceutical also held a press conference," the secretary reported in a low voice.

At this moment, the other shareholders and executives also learned the news, and one by one, they began to lose their composure.

How long had it been?

Their company's stock price had already fallen by 0.3%. Don't underestimate this 0.3%; one must know that the market value of their Yaotian Pharmaceutical was 105.1 billion, so this 0.3% was already a lot.

The most critical thing was that this downward trend in the stock had not stopped.

Tian Yaohui quickly stabilized himself and said, "Release the news about the new drug we are developing."

"Chairman, this new drug is still in the testing phase and hasn't succeeded yet," someone hesitated.

"Don't worry about that now. We must stabilize the situation; we cannot let the stock price keep falling like this," Tian Yaohui said firmly.

Subsequently, Tian Yaohui issued a series of orders, all to deal with the stock price crisis.

Tian Yaohui knew that if the effect of "Yong Ge" was really as good as Taylor said, then their stock price would continue to fall without stopping. This was something that couldn't be changed; after all, everyone knew that the most profitable product for their Yaotian Pharmaceutical was Dragon Tiger Ointment.

If Dragon Tiger Ointment were completely replaced, then their Yaotian Pharmaceutical would basically lose more than half of its profits, and this wasn't just about profits; it also involved many other things.

At this moment, Tian Yaohui also felt some hesitation in his heart. Was Zhang Ran trying to start from the stock market?

But did Zhang Ran have that much money?

Where would he get the money?

After all, Meng He's company and Kangshilan didn't completely belong to Huo Zhiyuan and the others themselves; it wasn't such a simple matter to use company funds to help Zhang Ran.

Tian Yaohui wasn't sure how much money Zhang Ran had, and he was even less sure if Zhang Ran was making a feint and then starting from another aspect.

He wasn't sure about any of these things, so Tian Yaohui was currently in a dilemma.

But Tian Yaohui also quickly recovered. He prepared to wait and see the situation first. If Zhang Ran was really planning to start from the stock market, then he would temporarily not use company funds, because once he used them, if Zhang Ran made any other moves, his reaction might be too late.

However, if Zhang Ran really did that, then he would prepare to contact Huang Lin and the others and have them pay up.

He believed that these people would definitely be willing to trap Zhang Ran's money in the stock market, and this was also the time to see clearly how many more backup plans Zhang Ran had.

Having figured this out, Tian Yaohui seemed to relax, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face, "Zhang Ran, I want to see what other tricks you have."

And just as Tian Yaohui was thinking about these things, Zhang Ran appeared somewhat relaxed, and as he watched the stock price of Yaotian Pharmaceutical continue to fall, a smile appeared on his face.
