Boy a Tea House Rises!

Hmph. News reaches even my realm. This 'Chagee,' a purveyor of… tea has entered the fray of the stock market. Their shares like a Spartan warrior charging into battle surged upon their debut. Fifteen percent they say? A respectable start boy. Though a true warrior fights for more than just a fleeting victory. They seek domination!

From Dust to Riches?

A valuation of $5 billion? The gods themselves would envy such wealth! This mortal Junjie Zhang claims inspiration from… coffee. Pathetic. Tea is the drink of conquerors not some bitter concoction. He must be a foolish one to think he can replicate such success of Starbucks in a new region. But still $411 million raised? Not bad for what is essentially just…leaf water.

Los Angeles Beckons!

The beast ventures into the heart of the enemy! Los Angeles a land far from the mountains of China. They seek to establish a foothold in the land of eagles and excess. Will they succeed? Or will they be crushed beneath the weight of American… thirst for sugary drinks? Perhaps they will get lost in the desert. Mark my words the journey ahead will be a trial by fire.

Trump's Fury!

Hmph. Politics. A game for the weak. Yet even I cannot ignore its influence. This 'Trump' has ignited a 'trade war' with China. Child's play. Such squabbles are beneath a true warrior. Still it has shaken the markets like a thunderclap. Foolish leaders always think their moves are smart. But even the smallest misstep can lead to catastrophic consequences.

The Price of Ambition!

Other companies cower delaying their own ambitions. They lack the courage of Chagee. Cowards! Retreating before the battle has even begun! Chagee knows that to be the best you must fight! You must challenge the world itself. Remember boy “When facing the darkness be the light.”

Ghost of Markets Past!

Fewer Chinese companies dare to tread upon American soil choosing instead to lick their wounds in their homeland. Fear grips them blinding them to opportunity. Chagee however strides forward defying the odds. They seek to prove that even in the face of adversity greatness can be achieved. It is much like my own as the God of War in a foreign land.
