Of course, it was impossible to buy 10 billion US Dollars in a single account. Not to mention the 5% placard rule, meaning that once an account with such a large transaction was frozen, it would be over for them. Hence, Jasper’s account was not actually a personal account that directly manipulated the United States stock market, but a parent account that was realized
through technical means.
There were hundreds of sub-accounts associated with this parent account.
Jasper’s operations were synchronized to the sub-accounts of the two trading centers of Nauritus City and Waterhood City. After this, the traders who had received professional training would execute Jasper’s wishes and commands as soon as possible.
The reason why he did not bring the Harbor City trading center into the game this time was because of Kayden. This was also the reason why Jasper and Kayden were on call separately.
If he did not take care of this young master from the J. Langdons, Jasper would not be comfortable letting him participate in the plan behind the scenes.
Kayden watched Jasper’s funds enter the market. A moment later, ExxonMobil’s stock seemed to be doused with hot oil and then set on fire.
The stock price soared.
It really soared.
10 billion US Dollars of funds were enough to sweep all of ExxonMobil sell orders.
“Jasper, since you’re doing this, does it mean that you’re abandoning the Harbor City trading center?” Kayden questioned angrily.
Jasper shook his head and said, “Mr. Langdon, calm down. You and I both understand why I didn’t notify you in advance.”
Kayden looked at Jasper, his eyes seemed to pass through the fiber optic network spanning tens of thousands of kilometers to reach Jasper’s heart.
After a moment of contemplation, Kayden said in a deep voice, “I can’t go against my father’s will. We have invested billions into this cooperation. This money is different from the concept of money in the stock market.”
Jasper replied, “I understand that the funds in the stock market are a form of crowdfunding, and there is a magnification effect which means that the money you invested in that cooperation case is worth a lot.”
“So please understand. My wealth and life all depend on this. For the sake of my own life, I cannot allow any unexpected factors to exist. Mr. Langdon, your position is too important.”
Jasper’s words caused Kayden to let out a long sigh.
“Jasper, I really don’t want things come to this with you unless it’s the last resort.”
Jasper replied, “Mr. Langdon, you have to understand that the reason why ExxonMobil is the way it is now is because it inherited Rockefeller’s core assets. The latter had 34 subsidiaries that have been split up. Excluding the ones that died out, the remaining 20 plus subsidiaries are all separated in name, but in fact, they still belong to Rockefeller!”
“What do you think will happen if the J. Langdons work with them?”
Jasper’s words caused Kayden to wear a conflicted expression.
“You mean that the cooperation with ExxonMobil is actually a trap?”
Jasper replied indifferently, “Is it important whether or not it is a trap? This is not the case in business. How many non zero sum, win-win games are there out there? Either you borrow my power and I want your money, or we both want all of it.”
Kayden lifted his eyebrow.
He subconsciously did not want to believe what Jasper said. After all, Jasper now wanted him to choose between the cooperation with ExxonMobil and the cooperation with JW Foundation. At this point, any words Jasper said were prejudiced and biased.
However, Jasper had already come all this way in his plans. Not to mention that even Kayden’s father, Half the Harbor Langdon, had also praised Jasper’s savage business vision and acute strategic foresight several times. It simply was not comparable to his peers. Even if Jasper was standing among the experienced old foxes, he would stand at the peak.
In the words of Half the Harbor Langdon, Jasper was a born giant. Even if this kind of person was a vegetable seller, he would be able to sell it on a large scale.
“I need some time,” Kayden said.
“I can give it to you. You can even consider it slowly, I’m not in a hurry.”
Looking at the screen, Kayden had the urge to punch Jasper’s smiling face for the first time. Of course, Jasper was not in a hurry.
He had invested so much money and it was all in the capital pool of the trading center in Harbor City. Once Jasper started to act but did not bring the Harbor City trading center alone, then the funds in the Harbor City trading center were likely to become Jasper’s abandoned child in the next battle of the two parties and also the cannon fodder of Wall Street’s anger.
After exiting the video call, Kayden immediately went to see his father, Half the Harbor Langdon.
At this time, Half the Harbor Langdon was holding a meeting, but Kayden made it urgent enough that Half the Harbor Langdon had to make an exception to end the meeting prematurely.
Inside Half the Harbor Langdon’s 500 square meters office in the building in the center of Queen Road in Harbor City, Kayden immediately explained the current situation upon seeing Half the Harbor Langdon.
Half the Harbor Langdon pondered for a long time after hearing those words.
Obviously, Half the Harbor Langdon was also stumped by the difficult question Jasper suddenly posed them.
“What do you think?” Half the Harbor Langdon asked.
Kayden gritted his teeth and said, “If we do this according to my wishes, we can only give up the cooperation with ExxonMobil for now.”
Half the Harbor Langdon said expressionlessly, “Are you going to lose the billions you invested before and face the sky high compensation for breach of contract? Are you going to give up all the manpower, material resources, and funds invested just because of what Jasper said?”
Kayden said helplessly, “That’s why I find this so tricky.”
“Jasper is too crazy.” Half the Harbor Langdon looked unhappy.
He was a truly standard businessman, and he would consider things from the perspective of a businessman. The ones who were able to cooperate with him and bring him benefits were his friends, otherwise, they were his enemies.
All appreciations and previous good relationships could be discarded at any time in the face of interests.
“So, Father, what shall we do now? A decision must be made immediately.” Kayden said.
“Don’t worry.”
Half the Harbor Langdon turned his head to look at the bustling cityscape of Harbor City. Then, he said, “Promise him our cooperation first, but I will simultaneously communicate with ExxonMobil.”
Kayden immediately understood what his father meant. He replied, “I‘m afraid this will just be wasted effort.”
“This is called waiting for a good offer. We will become an important bargaining chip for the winners and losers of both sides. By then, we will join whichever side benefits us more,” Half the Harbor Langdon said.
Kayden froze for a moment. After that, he nodded and said, “I understand, Father. I will go back immediately.”
“Jasper will definitely see through us, but don’t worry. Everyone has their own plans, so we’ll act based on everyone’s abilities.”
The moment Kayden returned, the United States stock market changed dramatically.
After Jasper launched an offensive against ExxonMobil, all of JW Foundation and Somerland Capital with Nauritus City Center and Waterhoof City Center as the core, launched a comprehensive attack on the United States financial market.
At this moment, the press conference was also reaching its climax.
