Gordon pointed at the market and sniggered. “This market is obviously choppy and declining. Motherf*cker, you’re actually calling me to go long right now?
“If the market goes up today, kid, I’ll take my underwear off and eat it!
“Mr. Law, we may not be the first in Harbor City, but we have served numerous aristocratic families in the past. We had a pretty pleasant time working together before this, but now this little boy suddenly pops out of nowhere speaking all kinds of nonsense. Is he burning the Laws’ money like paper for fun?”
Gordon looked at Zachary with a cold expression as Zachary remained silent.
“Even a three-year-old can tell that he’s going against the market. You may end up losing one billion dollars…”
“Mr. Law,” Jasper said lightly.
Zachary looked over.
“I suggest you cut off all partnerships with Mr. Liam immediately!”
Jasper’s cold and firm orders entered Gordon’s ears clearly.
Gordon was so furious his lungs nearly exploded. He let out a scornful laugh. “You b*stard. You think you’re so great, huh? Motherf*cker! Who do you think you are? I, Gordon Liam, am famous amongst all the traders in Harbor City…”
“Gordon.”
Zachary raised his eyelids and stared at Gordon who was still chattering non-stop.
“From now on, the Laws will stop all partnerships with you, so please shut up right now. As for the other traders, do as Mr. Laine says. If I hear one more word of nonsense, I’ll take this to your boss, Harrison Zeigler.”
Zachary’s position was perfectly clear, and his words silenced the entire team of traders.
Everyone turned to look at Gordon.
Gordon’s expression looked extremely ghastly and awkward.
He did not expect Zachary to actually go nuts and be so dead set on listening to Jasper’s command.
Gordon’s mouth began to twitch, then he sneered and said, “Okay, Mr. Law. That’s your money, do whatever you want!”
Gordon did not lose his rationality no matter how furious he was. In Harbor City, very few dared to go against the Laws, not to mention Zachary, the second-generation patriarch!
Gordon did not leave either and simply stood by to watch. He would like to see the exciting changes on their faces when Zachary blew up his account.
“Do you need me to repeat my previous command?” Jasper asked coldly.
The traders stopped talking nonsense and got straight to work.
A split second later, a massive long position order hit the Hansel Index.
Although the amount reached nearly 800 million, it was only a drop in the ocean for the entire Hansel Stock Index, hence it did not cause a stir at all.
However, many people noticed the massive order and ridiculed this silly man who had too much money to spare for going against the market when the market was going down.
Meanwhile, in Harrington Capital’s office, Harbor City’s top-notch financial investment company.
“Is someone bucking the market and going long?”
Wallace Langdon, the man who made it to the list of the richest men in Europe four years ago, watched the market trend with great interest.
Although the richest man in Europe had now changed to Joe, whose last name was also Langdon, no one dared to underestimate Wallace’s ability.
“Interesting. I wonder which company in Harbor City is this? Or perhaps, a foreign investor?”
Wallace pondered and picked up the phone on the desk before muttering into it, “It’s me. Someone has started trading. Don’t waste any more time. Release the news. It’s going to be a rough night.”
Having said that, Wallace hung up the phone, leaned back in the executive chair, and squinted his eyes to look at the massive order buried in the vast sea of transaction data.
At the same time in the Laws’ study.
“Are you confident?” Zachary asked.
Jasper thought he was worried and said with a smile, “Of course.”
Zachary nodded and said in a deep voice, “Since you’re so confident, I can bring in another two billion within ten minutes.”
Though Jasper knew that the Laws were rich, he was still shocked by Zachary’s generosity. He was just about to say something when the market fluctuated.
“It’s too late.”
Jasper stared fixedly at the market and burst out laughing. “The market has already begun!”
As soon as Jasper said those words, Zachary turned over immediately to look and saw the telecommunication services sector leading the gain. They were driving the electronic technology sectors with it, causing them to skyrocket at once.
The skyrocketing of individual stocks drove the sector, and several sectors were driven at the same time, which caused the market to soar immediately.
Hansel Index jumped from 17,979 points to more than ten points. From the market perspective, it looked like a giant dragon lying flat on its belly raising its head ever so slightly.
“Hurry, switch to the Economy Channel on the TV!” Jasper hastened to say.
There was no servant in the study, so Zachary took action immediately after hearing what Jasper said. He took on the role of a servant and switched on the TV, changing the channel to the Economy Channel.
Although Jasper did not understand Harbor City’s language, he could roughly make out what the host was saying from looking at the pictures on the screen.
“The U.S. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange have hit all-time highs! The internet industry has contributed a lot to this huge wave of rising prices.
“The stock markets of countries around the world have risen due to the U.S. stock market’s influence…
“Will Harbor City’s Hansel Index break through the 18,000-point mark by taking advantage of the positive news in the global stock market?
“We have invited our stock review experts specifically…”
The market was still soaring. Harbor City’s financial market was extremely sensitive. At this critical moment, the Harbor City government suddenly released a piece of news.
“Harbor City government will, with the support from Mainland, introduce a series of policies beneficial to the stock market development!”
The Hansel Index had already accumulated enough momentum to start with and broke through the 18,000-point mark with the help of this news.
Both long and short parties launched a fierce offensive around the 18,000-point mark, and a massive amount of funds gathered in the Hansel Index market with tens to hundreds of millions of transactions per second.
Driven by the good news, Zachary held his racing heart and stared at the screen. They had broken through the 18,000-point mark!
“The dragon is about to raise its head!”
Jasper lowered his head, took a sip of Blue Mountain, and chuckled.
At this moment in the video conference, the face of Gordon, who had been waiting to see Jasper make a fool of himself and for Zachary to regret his decision, turned pale.
He stared fixedly at the market as if he had lost his soul.
“How could it be? It has only been a few minutes. He buys long and the market actually rises? It can’t be…
“Not only did he win all the previous losses, but he even made an extra 100 million!
“How did he predict it?”
Gordon broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of Jasper who remained ridiculously calm at the moment…
