Up until now she still had no idea what Jasper was planning to do.
She was just suggesting methods to him out of her unconditional trust and support.
“Jasp, what are you planning to do with so much money?”
Wendy could not help but ask. As she was in charge of the company finances, she was very sensitive when it came to loans. “This 7 billion worth of loans increase our liabilities exponentially. JW will crash if anything goes wrong.”
“Don’t worry,” Jasper patted Wendy’s hand and said gently, “I’ve got my reasons and guarantee before I chose to do so.”
“I established JW on my own and it’s a fruit of both our efforts and hard work. There’s no way I’d make a joke out of it.”
“I will succeed this time, and there won’t be a better opportunity than now in the next ten or even twenty years.”
“If this goes smoothly, not only will we solve our funding issue, but we’ll also get to officially change JW into a group.”
Hearing Jasper, Wendy nodded. “I believe you.”
Then, knowing Jasper was fighting against time, Wendy personally went to the provincial branch of the Agricultural Bank to look for John and proceed with the procedures.
Jasper let out a soft breath as he watched Wendy leave. This was a battle Jasper bet everything he had on. Unless those terrorists suddenly decided not to follow their plan, victory was in Jasper’s hands!
With this thought, Jasper called Jake who was in Harbor City.
“How’s the situation going?”
Jake replied courteously, “We’ve already opened the short positions you requested for the stock index.
We’ve lost 80 million as of this moment.”
“Good,” Jasper nodded.
“Keep opening positions to sell short the index and long positions for gold. I’ll arrange for the funds later, so all you have to do is open the positions. Don’t worry about making a loss now. The more the loss now, the more we earn by then.”
While Jake was completely confused about Jasper’s plan to lose money, he still replied loudly, “I understand, Mr. Laine.”
The funds in Jake’s control began to move after he received Jasper’s instruction.
At almost the exact moment the funds moved, a gaze pinned on these funds realized the abnormality.
***
Harbor City.
“Mr. Atticus, Jasper’s funds moved and he’s starting to open huge positions.”
“They’re currently selling short the indices but selling long for gold. We don’t know if this is a smokescreen to divert our attention or not.”
Fabian’s brow twitched when he heard his subordinate report, drinking tea with someone in the garden.
“Did he go crazy? What, does he have too much money to waste?”
Opposite Fabian, Mitch said with a sneer before the former could say anything.
Fabian gave a small smile and said, “We’ll sell if he buys and we’ll buy if he sells. Keep reporting follow up situations.”
The subordinate left courteously and Mitch proceeded to apple-polish Fabian.
“Looks like Jasper’s really gone crazy, Mr. Atticus. The market’s doing so well yet he’s choosing to sell short and buy gold. Does he think that World War Three is coming? Haha. You’ve really got an eye for these things, Mr. Atticus.”
Fabian replied with a crescent eyed smile, “Whether he’s truly crazy or if he’s just pretending to be, the people I sent to keep an eye on Jasper will send word over very soon. The truth will come to light by then.”
Mitch’s gaze shone with maddening delight and he said, “Mr. Atticus, don’t forget me when you have the chance to destroy Jasper and split his properties.”
Fabian patted Mitch’s shoulder and laughed out loud. “We’re friends, aren’t we? How could I possibly forget you? Go prepare the money, we’ll completely defeat Jasper this time!”
