If Jasper was not optimistic, it would make the atmosphere of the whole meeting depressing and dull.
“If this goes on, we’ll still be fine, but I am afraid that other investors will start to lose confidence.”
Kayden spoke slowly to break the silence.
“After all, we lost nearly 7 billion US Dollars on the first day. At this rate of loss, we will run out of ammunition before long.”
Jasper nodded and said, “I have considered this issue, so we must change our strategy tomorrow. This can be from a financial perspective or simply to boost confidence.”
“What are you going to do?” Kayden asked.
Jasper said with a smile, “In terms of our overall strength, we are undoubtedly the weaker side, so we must not let Quantum Fund drag us around by the nose.”
“We have to take the initiative and concentrate our strength to break through a specific point in their defense. This is our only chance.”
“Otherwise, Quantum Fund will be the one with the initiative and they will be able to throw us around whenever and however they want. If that happens, death will be the only thing waiting for us.”
The little prince had a serious look on his face upon hearing what Jasper said. He said, “But this is likely to bring forward the decisive battle.”
“Then bring it forward.”
Jasper said without hesitation, “The crux of the problem now is the trigger point of this decisive battle. If Quantum Fund is the one who triggers it, we stand almost no chance of winning.”
“But if we start early, we still have a glimmer of hope. The only thing we can do now is catch Quantum Fund off guard.”
“I understand what you mean.”
The little prince’s expression became more serious and he said, “But have you ever thought about what happens if you fail…”
“The reports out there must be full of distrust and pessimism toward us. The whole world is waiting for us to fall on our faces and become a laughing stock, so do we still have room to maneuver?”
“We don’t have such a luxury.”
Jasper stood up, his tone was firm as he said, “We have to succeed or die trying. I think we might still win this battle.”
“Even though it was narrow, we still managed to escape.”
The little prince and Kayden looked at each other through the video and then said, “Okay, we will execute all the commands given by Nauritus City.”
Jasper flashed a smile and said, “Guys, even though this battle is difficult, we must not be defeated so easily!”
A few hours later, the sky turned bright. It was like any other day as the citizens of Somerland set off for work and daily life.
Wendy exited the room, went to the dining room, and said to Dawson, “He just fell asleep.”
Dawson nodded and said, “Tell the servants to prepare a meal later. He can eat it when he gets up.”
Wendy nodded absently and turned on the television. At this moment, the morning International Finance Channel was playing on the television.
“Good morning, viewers. After the analysis just now, we already know that the Dow Jones Index is currently facing fierce competition between short and long giants. Over this past trading day, the two sides did not have a clear victory or defeat, but according to the assessment of our professional analysts and experts, the pressure on the short side is huge while the long side appears to be executing everything skillfully and easily. This is partially due to the fact that they have a defensive advantage.”
“The current financial war on the Dow Jones Index has been evaluated by countless stock critics and financial experts as the most significant modern financial war of the century. It shows us, in full detail, the methods and skills of the world’s top financial giants as they attack each other with economic weapons.”
The constant reporting by the host on the TV made Wendy a little upset.
“Dad, the current situation doesn’t seem to be very good for Jasper,” Wendy said with a frown.
Dawson said lightly, “What are you worried about? Jasper knows what he’s doing.”
“But it’s impossible not to worry at all… I’m afraid he will put too much pressure on himself.”
Dawson smiled, pointed to the TV, and said, “These people will always only see the surface. You don‘t have to worry too much. This matter has only just begun. The game behind it involves an all-around struggle between two major powers.”
“The level of influence of such an event will be very far-reaching. This was Jasper’s first time taking part in such a thing, and he only became Somerland’s present representative by chance. What he can do is very limited, but in any case, things are as simple as they first appear.”
Wendy asked curiously, “Dad, how do you know this?”
Dawson said, “Do you think I’ve lived all these decades for naught? Just wait patiently and don’t worry, it’s not easy for Jasper to win, but it won’t be so easy for him to lose either.”
“The impact is so great that one cannot win the whole game just because they won in a certain industry. The real game is playing out behind the scenes where people can’t see.”
At the same time, in New York on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it was early evening. People were just finishing their day’s work and going back to rest Rogers walked into Soros’ office.
“Man, those people are not very satisfied with our performance today.” Soros lifted his glasses and said to Rogers.
Rogers chuckled and said, “What else can they do besides sit in the office and calculate how much money they made?”
“We are no different, so your mocking tone makes me uncomfortable.” Soros laughed.
Rogers opened a bottle of red wine and sat down on the sofa looking a little tired. Then, he said while pouring himself a glass, “I said before that Jasper is not a particularly easy person to deal with, so it takes a little effort and time to deal with him.”
“But the capitalists focus on time and efficiency,”
Soros said solemnly.
“Old friend, if we do things too fast, we won’t be able to highlight our value.” There was a sinister glint in Rogers’ eyes.
“Well, I promise you that on the next trading day, I will give them an answer that satisfies them.”
Soros nodded, patted Rogers on the should er, and said, “I understand what you think, but a lot of the time we need to compromise.”
With a shrug, Rogers raised his head and took a sip of the red wine. He murmured, “I am really fascinated by the power of money, and I am a little reluctant to leave it.”
Putting down the wine glass, Rogers said calmly, “Today, I am just playing with him. Tomorrow, I will make Jasper go bankrupt.”
