Chinese firm called ‘Trump Will Probably Win’ sees stock prices soar even as Asia markets fall

Shares of a Chinese company whose name sounds like “Trump will probably win” gained in trading on Wednesday morning as Asia markets fell.

Shenzhen-listed Wisesoft Co gained almost 5 per cent in morning trading in Shenzhen as the benchmark index dropped 1.31 per cent.

One Chinese translation for Donald Trump is “Chuan Pu” while the company’s name in Chinese is “Chuan Da Zhi Sheng”, which is roughly pronounced as “Trump Will Probably Win”.

The share price gain occurred as the Republican candidate took an early lead in initial results posed in the presidential poll.
