“They did, but they couldn‘t stop it. They couldn‘t stop it at all.”
“This time, it is not only Wall Street capital. Countless hot money and retail investors have also participated.”
“The second the market opened, ExxonMobil announced that it had successfully reached a cross shareholding agreement with Harbor City’s Fongroup. ExxonMobil will give Fongroup 25% of its shares. In exchange, Fongroup will transfer 27% of their shares to ExxonMobil.”
Those words cause Jasper to stop in his tracks.
“It’s been 2 minutes since the opening, what’s going on in the Harbor City trading center?” Jasper asked.
Greg sighed and said, “It broke up. The entire Harbor City trading center is split. Kayden took at least two-thirds of the funds and sided with Wall Street, while Henry took the remaining one-third of the funds and opened up another battlefield. Now, he is cooperating with the domestic attack against Wall Street.”
Even Jasper felt tightness in his chest at this moment.
“Jasper, you look horrible. Do you want to call a doctor? You can’t collapse at this moment.”
Greg watched as Jasper’s face turned from green to pale, then said hurriedly.
Jasper raised his hand to stop Greg from calling the emergency services and said, “Listen, I can’t go anywhere now. I need to go back to the room to direct them.”
“You go and talk to Reynoldson first. You can make some concessions on the small details, but you can’t concede on the principled factors. If it doesn’t work out, just say you don‘t have the authority to deal with it and that you need my permission.”
“I know my body. It’s okay, I’m just a little irritable. I will be fine after a while. If I don’t go at this time, the accumulation of Somerland’s capital the 10 years after reforming and opening-up will be wiped out.”
“Greg.”
Jasper grabbed Greg’s wrist and continued in a deep voice, “I can only trust you now that we’re in Finland. So, you must handle the other matters properly.”
Greg gritted his teeth with red eyes. Then, he nodded heavily and said, “I know, don‘t worry!”
“Good…”
Jasper pushed Greg out of the elevator and pressed the button to close the doors. After the door was closed, the elevator rushed directly to Jasper’s floor.
He entered the room and closed the door. At this moment, a rapid alarm sounded from the computer. This was an early warning device Jasper had set up beforehand. Once the positions reached a dangerous level, the alarm would sound.
Jasper divided it into three levels, but now, the alarm was ringing like it was going to break.
Not only that, but there were continuous video requests from Jake. These calls were numerous times more urgent than the ones back then.
Sitting in front of the computer, Jasper took a deep breath and clicked on the video call.
“I am back.”
After the brief statement, Jake, who appeared on the screen worriedly while covered in sweat, immediately burst into tears.
“Mr. Laine! Mr. Laine is back!”
Jake turned his head and yelled behind him. Then, Jasper heard thunderous cheers from behind him. Jasper finally realized that unbeknownst to him, he had become a god in some of their hearts.
It seemed that as long as he was there, he would be able to lead them out of all crises and impossibilities.
However, could he really?
