Chapter 2147 - 2147: 2147

Of course, as soon as Mark announced his move, the world trembled.

The reusable stainless steel rocket, oh, still a hot topic, attracting global attention.

People who yearn for technological civilization, of course, are looking forward to it.

And those about to have their livelihoods smashed, of course, are very angry. They have always been known for being mysterious and powerful, with even the ignition button requiring years of dedicated training, but Mark overturned the table, leaving them in an awkward position!

As a result, a large group of critics are still active on the world stage, desperately criticizing Mark and his rocket, dragging the Wale Republic along as well, wishing to spew every bit of filth from their mouths.

Of course, their criticism comes in all forms and styles. Some even use the launch test timeline to make an issue, saying things like after the last failure, they weren't deterred, saying that one or two months later they launched again, and what happened? It got delayed by almost a year, right? Is it that the technology isn't up to par, or the materials aren't appealing anymore, or is it a funding issue? Why, in the past six months, has Mark's stock fallen?

Indeed, in the past six months, Mark's affairs have been turbulent, and his energy affected.

He is someone who pursues a sense of achievement, so he still hopes to witness the second launch test of the rocket, and the delay in timing somewhat aligns with his own work schedule.

Originally, after Trump was elected, Mark became the United States' Efficiency Department Secretary, boldly streamlining personnel and reforming government affairs.

In this regard, the old madman, regardless of personal grudges, took the United States' interest as the principle, which indeed deserves praise.

And after Mark took office, he indeed achieved a lot.

He cleared a large number of redundant personnel, saving nearly a billion US dollars in government fiscal spending every month, which is quite astonishing.

Over the years, the United States indeed had some drawbacks. But its most powerful aspect lies in its ability to self-correct, and quite strongly so.

From the current situation, Mark's layoffs did not affect the overall operation of the US government; instead, the efficiency was higher.

From a long-term perspective, it's beneficial for the country and the people to open source and economize for the US, cut office costs, and use taxpayers' money more reasonably.

Even from the perspective of ruler and minister, this wave of cooperation between Trump and Mark didn't cause any loss to either party.

However, because of Trump's poor performance in ending wars, continuously waging tariff wars, and constantly being lenient and indulgent towards the Evil Luo Country, not only did his approval rating drop, but he also caused trouble for Mark.

Mark's industry stock, with him taking office and Trump's erratic actions, fell all the way down.

Many investors were crying out in pain.

In less than half a year, Mark's personal wealth shrank by nearly half; the industry stock also fell by more than one-third.

In such times, Mark was somewhat despairing.

Because he initially had plans to obtain many orders from the US government, including government vehicles, civil and military aerospace, etc.

However, the Trump administration didn't grant the orders, and instead drastically cut aerospace projects and spending, even shutting down many projects at NASA that originally cooperated with Mark.

So, it was a miserable situation for Mark.

He's not good at talking, but he's good at doing things.

In his interactions, or rather, negotiations with Trump, he couldn't gain the upper hand.

In fact, during one internal meeting, Mark and Trump had a fierce argument.

After this argument, in less than a week, the Trump administration announced Mark's dismissal.

Trump even personally expressed affirmation and blessings for Mark at the press conference, hoping he might return to the government system to work for the United States and for the people.

This was a courtesy, a gesture of gentlemanly behavior.

But in the eyes of onlookers, it was purely Trump killing the donkey when the millstone was done. Mark cleaned up the US government system, saving a lot of money, and instead of leaving on a high note, he got kicked out at the end, right?

Conversely, Mark's personal wealth was damaged, his company's business suffered, and the market value kept getting lower.

Mark then tweeted, very simply: From now on, I will consider personal matters.

Well, this is not about marriage, right?

Mark has many women and many children, but no marriage. He doesn't need marriage; he just needs to pass on good genes, hahaha...

After leaving the US government affairs, Mark returned to his old career, working like crazy, and every performance was remarkable.

It can also be seen that as he took off the bureaucratic robe, his personal wealth began to rise, and the company's stock also gradually climbed back up.

During this process, Wale Capital was profiting massively!

Wale's state-owned and private capital collectively dumped their stocks at the start of Mark's stock decline, making a quick buck first.

But when Mark was dismissed by the US government, Wale's state and private capital quickly made an incredible judgment by buying in madly when Mark's stocks were still falling, hitting their worst on the day of dismissal.

Wow, such capital judgment is truly amazing.

It wasn't long before these two major capitals started making money again!

When Mark announced the second reusable Starship test, the stock price had returned to historical normal levels.

As the test day approached, the stocks soared again, heading towards new highs.

When Mark personally flew to the Wale Republic, the stock price reached historical highs and began oscillating, hehe...

The next day was when the launch test was to begin.

For this launch, Mark and his team made meticulous preparations, all set, just missing an east wind.

In such a context, Wale Republic's state-owned capital and the two largest private capitals, one being the Li Jiacheng family's capital, and the other being the Huada Capital formed by the Zheng Family, Xiang family, and others, made a divine prediction together.

The second reusable rocket test would definitely succeed, and Mark's stock price would reach historical highs, letting them sell them all at that moment!

This wave is expected to reap the recovered, all-time high value, and all of Wale's state-owned and private capitals will earn over a trillion US dollars!

The stock market is a game of capital, also a game of marketization; whether you can make money depends on your prediction and understanding of the economy! Luck only accounts for a minor factor.

You wouldn't know that at such times, Great East Pot's state-owned capital did some overseas operations, hehe...
