As Jasper gathered the top capitalists of Somerland for the party, a high-level closed-door consultation meeting was simultaneously being held in the headquarters of the Federal Reserve of the United States in New York on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The head of the meeting was Greenspaner, the chair of the Federal Reserve, while below him were the financial giants of Wall Street.
Among them were the chairman of various consortia such as Rogers and Soros from Quantum Fund, and the chairman of major consortiums like Colossal Investments, Layman Investment Bank, Morgan Financial Group and so on.
On one side of Greenspaner was Janet, the vice chair who had received the most votes as Greenspaner’s eventual successor. She ascended to this position as a woman with white hair, which was a miracle in and of itself. This was enough to make countless people feel fear and admiration for her.
On the other side was a bald man. That man had a serious look on his face, but no one dared to look down on him. That was the secretary of the United States Treasury, Hamilton.
The meeting had not started yet and everyone at the table was relaxed. Some were even talking about where they should eat after the meeting.
Greenspaner, who was in the main seat, put on his glasses and flipped open the document in front of him. When he did that, everyone stopped to look at him. Greenspaner was happy that the crowd’s reaction exemplified his prestige and position.
This czar of the American Dollar smiled and said, “Everyone, the stock market will commence trading tomorrow. So, we’re here today to discuss how the situation will play out and how we should handle it.”
“We have the most experience in the world on this topic. Soros, Rogers, you’re the most qualified people for this, right?”
Dugg, the chairman of Layman Investment Bank said cheerfully.
Rogers looked at Soros. When he saw that Soros was not planning to speak, he shrugged and said, “We are professionals.”
“According to the research of Quantum Fund over the past few years, there are a lot of problems with the securities market in Somerland. We can’t solve this problem in a short time. This loophole will be the best chance for us to take down their entire financial system.”
“We are very confident. Once we bite a piece of flesh off this rising giant, their economy will fall back 20 years ago and they will go back to how they were in the 80s.”
Rogers was high-spirited when he said that. All of the faces of the capitalists at the scene flushed red when they heard what he said.
The easiest way to get rich was to strike the jackpot overnight.
However, for capitalists, the most fascinating way to get rich was to plunder the economy of another country. They did this many times over the past 30 years, and each time they had profited.
This was particularly true for Sunrise Land. The Plaza Accord made Sunrise Land, which claimed that they wanted to buy the entire United States, go bankrupt in an instant. Where did the wealth go? 90% of the money went into the pockets of capitalists in the United States.
All the capitalists who experienced that incident knew that they were not making money, but rather, robbing and picking up money from the ground.
They destroyed the entire economic system of a country and then plundered their wealth. It was not hundreds of billions of dollars, but thousands of trillions of dollars! No matter how greedy someone was, they would also have their limit.
It was just that these people had not experienced such a thrill for a long time since Sunrise Land.
They were famished and now, they this was another excellent opportunity. Therefore, it was only natural that they would not dare to miss it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was growing more and more enthusiastic, the secretary of the Treasury, who had been sitting next to Greenspaner, finally spoke.
“Everyone wait.”
Everyone present showed Hamilton enough respect. Although the United States was a capitalist country and capital controlled everything in this country, its influence also depended on where it came from.
Hamilton was one of the popular candidates for the next election. His prestige and power were enough to make people not dare to underestimate his opinions.
“I think you’re not being clear about a very basic thing.”
Hamilton said with a frown, “Tomorrow, we have to handle that guy named Jasper Laine first. He had the guts to come to the United States stock market to suck our blood without any fear, so we have to teach him a painful lesson.”
After Hamilton said that, all of the heads of the investment banks chuckled.
“What are you laughing at?” Hamilton said in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Roger said, “Mr. Hamilton, don’t worry. I interacted with him on the Harbor City stock market back then. Even though he has potential and was skillful, he’s still too young.
“He won’t be able to fight back in the face of the strongest capitalist in the world. I can make him lose everything in just two days.”
