Ryder sounded very excited over the phone.
Jasper said lightly, “That’s good.”
“The company will operate as usual. Just do whatever you need to do and comfort the employees so that they will not be affected by this incident. Similar things will not happen again in the future.”
After hearing what Jasper said, Ryder asked hesitantly, “Mr. Laine, have you reached an agreement with the Atticus family?”
“Well, an agreement was reached, but the most important thing is to hurt them elsewhere so that they will be willing to come to the table and have a proper discussion.”
Jasper’s words sounded nonchalant, but Ryder could detect the shocking news hidden behind them.
Mr. Laine had a way to make the Atticus family bow down to him and he could even force them to come to the negotiation table?
One had to understand that the Atticus family was a properly established wealthy family in Harbor City. Although they were not one of the four rich families, everyone in Harbor City knew that they were not inferior to any of the four families.
While suppressing the shock that surged in his heart, Ryder’s attitude subconsciously became more respectful.
“Mr. Laine, I’m going back to work. Don’t worry, there will be no internal problems within the company.”
Jasper laughed and said, “I can solve the external factors, but the internal is your responsibility, so this is your job. I’ll leave them to you.”
“Yes, Mr. Laine.”
As soon as Jasper put down the phone, Henry rushed over.
“Just now my dad and I were on the phone, and he was called away suddenly. It seems that something major has happened. He asked me to tell you to watch the international news.”
Henry showed a rare solemn expression. Jasper did not dilly-dally when he saw this, and he immediately turned on the television before switching to the United States live news channel connected via satellite.
A thin old man with gray hair appeared on the television screen.
He was standing on the podium while giving a speech. Jasper could recognize the old man without looking at the subtitles below.
Everyone who was involved in economics and finance around the world would know him.
Greenspaner.
The world’s top economist and one of the founders of modern macroeconomics.
Compared to his academic title, the most terrifying thing about him was his job.
He was the economic czar, and the chair of the United States Federal Reserve.
Jasper, who was reborn, knew that the thin and humble old man in front of him would remain as the chair of the Federal Reserve System until 2006. He was the longest-serving chair of the Federal Reserve in the history of the United States, maintaining his position through six different presidencies.
It could be said that this thin old man had established the dominance of the dollar and set the stage for dollar such that it could not be challenged for at least the next 50 years.
Similarly, he was also the core builder of the United States economic empire.
He was the uncrowned king of the economic field.
At this moment, Greenspaner, who represented the economic hegemony of the United States, stepped up to give a public speech. The United States must have decided on a series of economic policies.
It was not unrealistic to say that all of the hot money from institutions scattered throughout the world were paying attention to this public address at the same time.
However, Greenspaner’s expression looked solemn and grim.
“After a joint meeting, we have reached a consensus. We can’t just sit by and watch the United States’ accumulated wealth over the years evaporate into thin air.”
“Any person or institution that attempts to short the United States stock market in this trying time will be viewed as an attempt to provoke us.”
“And we will deliver the most painful counterattack to any such provocations!”
