Fabian’s decision caused Mitch to fall into a state of despair.
Fabian’s stock traders were extremely qualified, and they were able to calculate the figure in the shortest time possible.
“If you want to prevent the position from collapsing, according to the trend of the call, I think you have to add on about 500 million US Dollars.”
“Moreover, this is before the United States government and Federal Reserve fall to 2500 points on the Dow Jones Index, and before a successful market rescue.”
When Mitch heard this, his face turned pale.
“500 million US Dollars is 4 billion Harbor Dollars. I-It’s so much money…”
Back then, Mitch had already thrown in 2 billion Harbor Dollars, so he had nothing left.
He only got that sum because he went behind his family’s back and put up some of his family assets as collateral.
Now, he would need so much money just to stay afloat. Even though 4 billion Harbor Dollars was the total amount, and he would not need to spend so much himself, he still could not gather that much money.
At that moment, Mitch was looking at Fabian as if he was asking for help. He said, “Mr. Atticus, y-you can’t leave me to die.”
Fabian looked at Mitch coldly. Even though he wanted to kick this useless thing away, his instinct told him that this was not the time to have internal strife or abandon his allies.
Even if his ally was useless, he still had to think of a way of helping him.
“After the division, you’ll need to take out about 700 million Harbor Dollars for the cover up. How much can you provide?”
Fabian’s words gave Mitch a spark of hope. However, he blushed soon after and said in embarrassment, “I-I think I can take out 50 million at the most.”
“50 million?”
Fabian started laughing out of anger.
“Mitch, I have to put in at least 2 billion Harbor Dollars. Is that 50 million a joke?”
Mitch said with a lamentable look, “Mr. Atticus, I’m not you, nor I do not possess remarkable abilities. You know how much money I have. The money I put in is the money I got from putting up my stocks as collateral.”
“This is too much. I can’t help you with this.” Fabian gritted his teeth.
Fabian was betting that the United States Government and Federal Reserve would save the market.
However, he did not know if, when, and whether they even could.
If they failed, he would lose the money that he put up as a cover up.
Besides this, he would also lose the money that he set aside to help Mitch.
“Mr. Atticus, you have to help me. If my family learns about this, I’ll be dead meat!” Mitch was panicking and he yelled.
Fabian gritted his teeth and took two steps forward. He said, “Conrad will come back in a bit. When he’s back, go to him and dissect this issue with him. I think he should be okay with paying for you.”
“That Mainlander?” Mitch was stunned.
“You’re in such a horrible position, yet you’re looking down on people from Mainland?” Fabian chuckled coldly. “He has the most money now and I think he should help you out of respect for me.
“However, he’s a businessman, so he won’t give money without some benefit on his side. If he has any requirements, just agree to them so long as they are not too extreme.”
“When we turn this situation around, you’ll be doing whatever you want, right?”
Fabian’ s hinting statement caused Mitch’s eyes to brighten.
Yes, he was at a dead end now. He would definitely run out of money unless he was honest with his family.
