153: The test flight of the Double-bone Dragon was successful, and the stock price of Nifeng Express soared!

Wang Jiawei said casually, "Why else would I say you're naive? Since all these photos were taken by the onboard camera anyway, isn't it simple to just find a couple more?"

As long as the pixel count is low enough and the angle is tricky enough, the media will definitely follow the trend and report on it.

By then, wouldn't Nifeng Express's stock price just keep climbing? Those old fogies at the shareholders' meeting won't dare to say anything anymore.

"Can we really do that?"

"Why not? Go do it! Once the stock price is pulled up, we can finally get a good night's sleep."

Thanks to the media's sensationalized reporting, the stock price of Nifeng Express Group suddenly skyrocketed that afternoon.

[Is this fake? Nifeng Express must be manipulating it.]

[Don't hit the limit up, dammit, I haven't even gotten on board yet.]

[Wuwuwu! I'm dying to cry. When I sell at a loss, it goes up; when I chase the high, it crashes!]

[Damn it! My heart hurts!]

[Chasing highs is inadvisable. I feel like Nifeng Express is just throwing up a smokescreen!]

[No way, it hit the limit up directly? Nifeng Express's move is quite something!]

Qinchuan, Julong Steel Factory.

Ma Quanlin took his phone and found Lu Shenwei: "Little Lu, Nifeng Express's stock price has hit the limit up."

"What? What a loss, what a loss. Assistant Chen's single photo made Nifeng Express over ten billion, and we only sold it for six million. A huge loss!"

Lu Shenwei was extremely annoyed. Ma Quanlin suggested, "Why don't we release a few spy photos too?"

"Don't! We are in real industry; we don't rely on stock prices to make a living," Lu Shenwei rejected the idea.

"In the next few days, have the technical team check the critical parts several times to ensure the maiden flight is a success. Also, the runway needs to be finished quickly."

Ma Quanlin nodded: "I've already notified the Engineering Department to speed up progress. The runway will be leveled in three days."

"Also, make sure the security measures are strictly enforced. Block all signals throughout the factory on the day of the test flight."

Lu Shenwei reminded him, and Ma Quanlin turned to make the arrangements.

The next day, Nifeng Express released more spy photos of the super-large unmanned aerial vehicle, sparking intense online discussion and driving the stock price even higher.

[Why are the pictures even blurrier this time? Does anyone have the high-definition original?]

[Can I cruelly tell you that this is the original image?]

[At least take a picture of the front for the spy photo? You can't see anything in this one.]

[Nifeng Express's slick moves; they hit the limit up yesterday and are repeating the same trick today.]

[I don't care about the stock price; I just want to ask, which domestic company has such strong UAV manufacturing technology?]

[Hotpot Panda Province? Or maybe the Great Bay Province?]

[Is it possible it's Qinchuan Julong Steel? Hasn't their UAV technology always been quite strong?]

[Having rich experience in small UAV R&D doesn't mean they can handle large UAV technology.]

There were many differing opinions on the internet, but no company claimed any connection to Nifeng Express's large UAV.

"President, our company's stock has hit the limit up for two consecutive days. Should we release some more news?" Assistant Chen said excitedly.

Because of his bold photography, Nifeng Express hit the limit up for two consecutive days, and the total market value soared to 200 billion, reaching the annual peak.

Wang Jiawei laughed, "Too much of a good thing can have the opposite effect. Two news items are enough to drum up the hype."

"Also, send another 4 million over to Director Lu's side, and give that Director Ma 500,000 separately."

Assistant Chen nodded and asked again, "Crazy Rabbit also released news yesterday that they are developing a super-large unmanned transport aircraft, but the effect doesn't seem to be very good."

"Crazy Rabbit? The moment Julong Steel's Double Bone Dragon super-large UAV appeared, the winner of this war was already decided. The only thing we need to worry about now is Gou Dong Express."

Wang Jiawei said melancholically. The immediate trouble had been resolved, but the long-term concerns remained.

Under the impact of the new regulations for door-to-door delivery services, Gou Dong Express has left everyone in the dust, sparing no cost to launch a hybrid model of human delivery combined with unmanned transport vehicles (unmanned food delivery robots).

To defeat them, Nifeng Express must come up with a more powerful weapon.

"Why don't we try looking for Director Lu and his team again? Julong Steel always has new ideas," Assistant Chen suggested.

Wang Jiawei pondered, "No rush. Let's wait until the UAV air show is over before we talk."

Julong Steel's main focus right now is to ensure the Double Bone Dragon UAV test flight is successful, striving to become an overnight sensation.

As long as the Double Bone Dragon succeeds, Nifeng Express will gain the upper hand over Crazy Rabbit, and they can free up time later to deal with Gou Dong Express.

At the Crazy Rabbit headquarters, the office area was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Bai Jie's face was as cold as frost, and the executives didn't dare to breathe a word.

"Tell that bunch of pigs in the Public Relations Department that if they can't find out which company is developing the large UAV for Nifeng Express within three days, they can all get out!"

"Crazy Rabbit doesn't support dead weight!"

Nifeng Express's stock price skyrocketed, while Crazy Rabbit Express's stock price dropped significantly.

Some meddlesome commentators even pointed out that once Nifeng Express's large UAV test flight is successful, Crazy Rabbit Express will suffer an unprecedented defeat.

"President, they are already trying their best to find it," a Vice President chimed in.

"Same thing as I said: if there's no result within three days, you all get out!"

While the gods fought in the express delivery market, the instigator, Julong Steel, remained peaceful.

Two days later, the Double Bone Dragon super-large UAV test flight was successful, and Lu Shenwei was extremely excited.

"Uncle Ma, you've worked hard these past two years."

"No matter how hard it was, it wasn't as much as you worried. You are the real hero and leader of our factory."

"Let's not flatter each other. After the UAV air show ends next week, we'll give the Aerospace R&D Department a one-level salary increase across the board."

"Still increasing it? Their base salary has already exceeded 20,000."

"20,000 isn't too high. Those people in finance who don't do honest work have annual salaries of 900,000. We, who are down-to-earth and engaged in real industry, should at least have half of that."

"Don't they all have high academic qualifications?"

"Castles in the air. Without our real industry, finance is doomed no matter how they run it!" Lu Shenwei said indignantly.

The steel factory workers work hard on R&D and manufacturing equipment, but they don't earn much money at the end of the year.

Those in finance can just tap on a keyboard and make wealth that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime. Is this fair?

If everyone just wants to get something for nothing, who will build the motherland?

If finance is done well, can the motherland become rich and strong? Can we have nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and spaceships?

Look at Japan in the last century; their real estate valuation alone was enough to buy out the entire Eagle Nation.

But what was the result?

The Eagle Nation just held a meeting, signed a piece of paper, and Japan had a difficult twenty years.

Housing prices were cut in half, a wave of unemployment hit, and young, beautiful girls were forced to enter the high-end adult entertainment industry.

This kind of future is not what Lu Shenwei wants. He wants a towering dragon that people revere, fear, and that makes the world tremble!

"I'm going on a business trip next week. Notify Zhou Cun to accompany me; it's my first time in the capital too," Lu Shenwei said.

Ma Quanlin thought about it and asked, "Okay, should we notify other media?"

"Media? Nifeng Express will handle it. I'll ask Miss Bai to go with us," Lu Shenwei said casually.
