At the headquarters of the Fruit Phone Company, the stock price had fallen by 15% in two days!
Yes, that's right!
The stock price of the Fruit Company had fallen by 15% for no reason in the past two days of explosions, and it was obvious that it was still falling.
This made the Fruit Company very worried.
The reason was that in the explosion investigation this time, it was found that most of the explosions were caused by cell phones!
And in this Wall Street tragedy, it was found that the source of the explosion was mostly a cell phone made of metal, and most of the victims had phones from the Fruit Company.
Originally, the police only wanted to investigate the origin of the phones based on where the victims had bought their phones before they died. They suspected that these people's phones had been tampered with long ago, or they could find some clues by investigating where the victims had been before they died.
Who knew that the internal investigators of the case might have leaked the news when they were drinking and chatting. As a result, the users of the Fruit phones in America were terrified and thought that the culprit of the explosion was the Fruit phones. This was worse than the Samsung bombing.
It turned out that the company with the highest market value in the world might have directly lost more than 80 billion US dollars because of this incident!
The Fruit CEO was not in the mood to drink coffee in the morning. Seeing the stock price fall, all the employees felt as if they were bungee jumping, making them hover between life and death.
After they investigated the cause and read the newspaper, they felt extremely pained and bitter.
How can you blame us for this?
As soon as this rumor spread, a survivor who had experienced the explosion in Times Square came forward and said, "I did witness someone's cell phone explode. I have a good friend who died. He picked up his cell phone to call an ambulance, but the cell phone blew him up. I will never forget this scene. I even thought that he picked up a bomb. So much so that I have been scared to see a cell phone these two days."
Reporter: "Then do you remember what phone it was?"
Survivor: "It was the Fruit phone. It wasn't just his phone that exploded. Many of the dead people had their phones in their pockets, and they all mysteriously exploded."
The Fruit Company's CEO watched the interview video and cursed, "Why didn't this b * stard die from the explosion?"
The secretary walked in and said, "The shareholders have asked the public relations department to handle this incident well. They bought the stocks that the shareholders had abandoned and temporarily stabilized the decline of the stock price. But they can't buy any more shares. They hope that the company will quickly come forward and clarify this matter. Even if it's a technical problem, they have to tell the public that there are no flaws in our technology."
The CEO had no choice but to do so.
Soon, the Public Relations Department of the Fruit Company held a media conference to clarify whether the explosion was caused by the mobile phone.
"I think the current news of the Fruit mobile phone explosion in the market is very irresponsible. The technology of the Fruit mobile phone has been in production for so many years, and there have never been any problems. Our products are marketed globally, and every quarter, we produce more than 10 million units. Why did the products in other countries and regions have no problems, but only this explosion case? I don't think the main cause of the explosion will be our cell phones. We can conduct a physics experiment on the cell phones to see if there is a possibility of an explosion. In addition, our legal department has already submitted an appeal to the court for defamation of our company. We will sue this kind of baseless defamation to the end. There is no room for negotiation! "
Think about it, because of these newspapers, they had lost 15% of their shares. According to the global market value of the Fruit Company, it had reached more than 600 billion USD.
15% was equivalent to more than 90 billion USD directly evaporating in two days!
How could the shareholders sleep soundly like this? If he didn't come out to clarify the situation and allowed himself to continue falling, he would be doomed.
In order to take care of the Fruit Company, as a national superstar company, the government had to speak up for them.
"It's not right to say that the explosion was caused by the Fruit phone. First of all, everyone should know that the criminals may have used the Fruit phone to make a mobile phone bomb. As the temperature of the phone increases, it will detonate. This is all possible. So, it's not because of a technical problem with the Fruit phone. It might just be a trick of the criminals, and the Fruit phone has no substantial connection to this case."
After the police clarified the case, the falling stock prices stabilized and steadily rose.
However, Xu Cheng naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to destroy an American conglomerate. This was a rare opportunity, so he might as well beat them at their own game!
He came to a flagship store of the Fruit phone. Due to the recent explosion, the Fruit phones weren't selling well, but there were still people who came to buy them. After all, the Fruit phone's reputation and technology were there. Plus, there were all kinds of promotions for the phones, so there were still people who couldn't resist the temptation and came to buy.
"Do you have a red one in stock?"
"Yes, how many gigabytes do you want?"
"128."
"Yes, please wait a moment." The shop assistant faintly smiled. Then, he went to find it in the inventory and handed it over to the buyer.
"Take care." After sending off the buyer, the shop assistant smiled and walked up to him.
Just as the buyer walked to the door, a sudden boom directly shattered the glass at the door.
He fell to the ground, twitching non-stop, and a phone that had been turned into charcoal fell to the ground.
Everyone at the scene was so scared that they subconsciously fell to the ground, and some even screamed.
The explosion didn't end there. Almost all the Fruit phones at the scene, as long as they had been turned on, exploded.
Some of the fingers in their hands had been blown off.
Some were watching videos and had their eyes blown off.
Some were on the phone, and their heads directly exploded and they fell to the ground, dead on the spot!
The scene was filled with hoarse screams. They were scared and anxious, thinking that another explosion was going to engulf them. Everyone was crying and didn't dare to move, and some young men even peed their pants and fell to the ground.
When the police came over, they all frowned when they saw the bloody scene.
Everyone in the store didn't dare to go to the Fruit phone. Some directly ran out of the Fruit store, afraid that the other phones in the store would explode again.
After these survivors and witnesses went back, the Fruit company wouldn't be able to clear their name even if they jumped into the Pacific Ocean. The stock price that was rising steadily was now like a roller coaster, and even the experienced driver couldn't stop it!
The shareholders spent all their savings to buy back the dump sellers' shares to stabilize the price.
In the end, the price that they bought at 80 USD per unit fell to 60 USD in less than an afternoon!
It shrank by 25%!
He had fallen into a trap!
At this time, Samsung couldn't be trusted because of the explosion, but America couldn't do without mobile phones. Many people said that this might be a problem with the American OEM factory. Therefore, all the mobile phones produced in America were temporarily not used by the citizens.
At this time, Chinese mobile phones were released.
For example, Huawei, which had just entered the international market, was very happy.
(Five chapters completed. I'm dead tired. My finger joints hurt like hell. I won't say much. Seeing that everyone was so supportive yesterday, I still persisted for five chapters.)
