The Head of the Shang Family still did not understand what his father was implying. How could someone with Shang Yang’s temperament possibly provoke anyone? It was nothing more than Li Li being petty and jealous, colluding with the Shen family of Beicheng to target him. That his own father would insist on lowering himself to curry favor with a junior—he truly was becoming muddled with age.
A week of calm passed, and then, while everyone was caught off guard, the Li Corporation suddenly snatched up several projects at bidding conferences that the Shang Corporation had considered surefire wins. Even the chip suppliers who had partnered with the Shangs were lured away and monopolized by the Li Corporation, which had thrown massive amounts of capital into the effort with total disregard for industry ethics. The Shang Corporation’s stock, already suffering from the fallout, plunged overnight.
When the Head of the Shang Family woke up, it felt as if the sky had collapsed. Before he could even recover from this targeted strike, he discovered that the Shang stock was being maliciously shorted. Many retail investors had already dumped their shares overnight. The entire Shang Corporation was in chaos, with everyone fearing for their own survival.
