The little prince stood up, patted Lord Alvarado on the shoulder, and smiled. “I know you can’t understand it, but Jasper must have his own plan. From what I understand of him, he will take the initiative to explain all of this soon.”
Lord Alvarado sneered. “I think he brainwashed you.”
After he said that, they heard sudden knocking on the door before it opened. An excited trader came in and said, “Little prince, Lord Alvarado, Quantum Fund made a big move!”
At this moment, on the Dow Jones Index.
The entire Dow Jones Index was surging.
JW Foundation, as the main short-term player, concentrated all its energy on the boards of several major investment banks such as Colossal, Mayland, and Layman.
Quantum Fund, as the main force of many parties, was committed to stabilizing the bank’s stock price. After this, they would long the sector that was leading the decline.
The two sides seemed to have a deep understanding of each other.
‘If you long the stocks that are falling, I will short the stocks that are rising.’
Although they were acting opposite to each other, their purpose in doing so was surprisingly consistent. They were attempting to influence the trend of the entire Dow Jones Index with their power. This change in market trend would largely affect the confidence of retail investors and institutions with hot money.
It was well known that people naturally had a herd mentality. This was in addition to the fact, that the trend of the market represented the indirect contest between JW Foundation and Quantum Fund to a certain extent.
However, as they approached the fourth hour since the market opened, Quantum Fund appeared to become a little impatient.
A large buy order suddenly appeared for the three investment banks, namely Colossal, Layman, and Mayland. They devoured the empty orders that were previously put in by the little prince and Lord Alvarado on behalf of JW Foundation.
“Unlike the previous instances, Quantum Fund is very determined this time. According to the analysis of the intelligence division, this time Quantum Fund invested as much as 18 billion US Dollars.
“They seem to be warning us that the stocks of the three investment banks are their bottom line and they must not be touched, otherwise they will preemptively start the decisive battle.”
Jake’s words could be heard as Jasper stood in the middle of the trading hall with his arms folded. He was looking up at the screen with the numbers constantly changing and the data stream continuously refreshing. Jake did not speak anymore after giving the report, much less express his own opinions.
If Jasper was around, all he needed to do was to inform Jasper of the information summarized by his subordinates. Then, Jasper would make the final decision.
Unless Jasper asked, Jake would never take the initiative to voice his judgment so as not to interrupt Jasper’s train of thought.
“Layman Investment Bank dropped by 4.8%, Mayland Investment Bank dropped by 3.2%, and Colossal Investments dropped by only 1.1%,” Jasper frowned slightly and said.
Jake explained with some embarrassment. “Since our main funds have not yet arrived, it is really difficult to brace for Quantum Fund’s countermeasures.”
“Help Waterhoof City absorb some of the pressure, and at the same time, tell them to attack with everything they have. This is Quantum Fund’s first counterattack. If we back away, all our previous efforts will have been in vain,” Jasper ordered.
Jake hesitated for less than half a second, then he nodded and said, “Yes, I will do it right away.”
The news was delivered to Waterhoof City as soon as possible.
After learning about Jasper’s decision…
Thud!
Lord Alvarado kicked over the trash can.
