Chapter 1036: Consequences of Provoking the Government
Chu Xiaoran dropped this bomb to make the public panic. Chu Xiaoran’s company monopolized multiple industries. If they stopped producing those products, there’d be no way to get some of those daily necessities.
It caused the public to start buying up those supplies frantically and T City’s economy was in upheaval. As the products continued to decrease, the atmosphere got increasingly tense. A lot of violent incidents started occurring.
As Ning Shu took in this chaos, she felt quite a bit of admiration for Chu Xiaoran. His actions were clearly a provocation towards the government. You want me to adjust the prices of my products? Then I’ll make T City fall into chaos.
How exactly did Chu Xiaoran get the confidence to provoke the government like this?
He was clearly courting death.
T City was in disorder for several days, but the government didn’t have Chu Xiaoran act. Instead, they purchased the products through other means in order to make up for the lack of products.
As these products came into the market, Chu Xiaoran was no longer able to maintain a monopoly in some of the industries.
In the past, with Chu Xiaoran present, it had been very hard for other products to enter T City’s markets. Almost all the stores in T City only sold products from Chu Xiaoran’s company. It was practically compulsory.
Chu Xiaoran had been trying to cause T City’s economy to fall into chaos, but the government actually responded by starting to import products from other sources.
Let’s see who’d win?
The government managed to calm the public, but Chu Xiaoran’s mood was nowhere close to good anymore. As of now, T City’s market had several products of the same type and they were even cheaper than his products.
Chu Xiaoran had been confident that his move would cause the economy to fall into chaos, but this current situation put him in a deadlock.
The most important part of this was that his seat as the overlord of T City’s economy was now being challenged. He no longer had the advantage of monopolizing some of the industries.
Monopolism made for large profits.
Chu Xiaoran suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap. This entire thing was a scheme that targeted him. No matter what he did, his power would gradually be whittled away.
Xu Wenlang!?
