After those three sentences, most of the people present became enthusiastic. These people were smart, and they were willing to fight for their own benefit.
Following Kayden was equivalent to standing on side of Wall Street from the west, where both capital and overall strength were much stronger. In contrast, Harbor City was at an absolutely disadvantage on the mainland.
However, the benefits and risks are always proportional when it came to investing. If people wanted to make safe and guaranteed money, it would be better to take a civil service exam and go to work.
Gilding the lily was never as good as getting help in people hour of need.
If they ran to Kayden now, Kayden already had a few core shareholders backing him, so he may not even take them seriously, let alone Wall Street. Wall Street might not even care about their existence at all.
However, staying here was different. Here, every one of them could get attention. Therefore, the people who stayed were smart and they were also willing to take risks to make big profits.
Because of this, Henry’s straightforward words were exactly what they wanted to hear most.
“Young Master Law, don’t worry. We don’t like the behavior of Half the Harbor Langdon and Kayden either. So, we are willing to stay and support you, the Harbor City trading center, the mainland, and Somerland!”
A rich man with the gift of the gab said. His words immediately resonated with everyone.
Henry also looked at the scene with satisfaction. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Okay, there’s no time to lose. I will contact Nauritus City immediately and I will send your list to them too. When we win, everyone will be rewarded accordingly!”
More than ten minutes later. After hearing Henry’s explanation, Jasper let out a long sigh.
“You are too impulsive.”
“How am I impulsive? I feel like I didn’t perform well just now. I should have spit in that rat b*stard’s face too,” Henry said annoyedly.
The corner of Jasper’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Then you might as well give him two more punches and send him directly to the hospital. You should know that dignity is much more important than life in this circle. You went over the line by beating him up just now.”
“They were indeed the ones at fault and this severe beating is likely to be useless, but if you really rubbed the faces of the father and son on the ground then it won’t be so easy cleaning up the mess after.”
Henry glanced at the eagerly awaiting group outside and asked, “What am I going to do here now?”
“Harbor City center is basically useless now.”
Jasper’s expression was calm and indifferent. Then, he picked up the statistical report that Jake had just sent him.
“The Harbor City center used to have 32 billion US Dollars in capital, but now, only 8 billion US Dollars are left. Most of it has been taken away by Kayden.”
“Before Kayden left, all the positions in the Harbor City trading center were exposed. Now, we can’t touch this 8 billion US Dollars. If we touch it, everything will be liquidated.”
Henry felt a rush of blood rising to his head when he heard the words. “So, not only can we not use the remaining funds, but we also have to save them? I went too easy on that son of a b*tch.”
“It’s okay. When you make a choice, you should be cruel and savage when you execute it. If I were him, I would do the same.”
Jasper smiled coldly and continued, “You should calm the people over there. I will ask Jake to contact the remaining traders. In short, whether it is Harbor City or the two trading centers in the Mainland, we will only do one thing next, and that is do our best to save as much strength as possible.”
“Is the situation really so grim now?” Henry asked through gritted teeth.
“We are losing more than 1 billion US Dollars with every passing hour. It will soon be a hopeless situation. What we need to do now is to stop the bleeding, not fight back. Doing so is unrealistic, and I am not a god.” Jasper finished speaking and hung up.
As he listened to the dial tone through the receiver, Henry clenched his fists. He contemplated for a while and immediately called his father.
“Dad, what should we do now?”
He did not spew too much nonsense. Henry knew that the family must be aware of the current situation well.
Sure enough, Zachary did not ask much. He just pondered for a while, sighed, and replied, “I just talked to Jasper five minutes ago. I think his current views and practices are correct. Don’t be impulsive, just listen to Jasper’s plan.”
“I know, but Dad, are we going to lose just like that?” Henry said unwillingly.
“We are the Laws. If they need money, our family has money. Can’t you take out some of your retirement savings and help him?” Henry said while feeling pissed.
Zachary was amused and he asked, “Are you not afraid that we’ll lose all of our wealth if you follow Jasper?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?”
Henry was pissed and said, “Now our family is deeply bound to him. The outsiders already think that we’re one. If Jasper is finished, our business won’t run smoothly in the future too.”
“Jasper is no longer the small businessman who needs the Laws to take care of him. His influence is already on the same level as ours.”
“Also… This is the first time I have seen him so weak. I don’t know why, but I just want to help him.”
Henry’s tone sounded gloomy when he said the last sentence.
“I am very pleased that you can say this.”
It took a long time for Zachary’s words to come.
“This proves that you are no longer the good-for-nothing you used to be, but it also proves that you are not mature enough right now and are far from meeting the requirements necessary to become the successor of the Laws.”
“You’re already qualified to be the son of Zachary Law and your grandfather, but to be the successor of the Laws, you have to consider the Laws as a whole.”
“Do you know who the one behind Wall Street is this time?”
Henry sneered, “Isn’t it that old fart from Quantum Fund?”
“He is just a senior trader standing at the front desk.”
“The real people behind the scenes are all of Wall Street capital. It might even be the United States government or even the Freemasons.”
“You won’t be able to get in contact with them for now. In short, you should just know that they can take out more than 10 trillion US Dollars at any moment and anywhere to sell off the entire Law family in a package. How much are we worth to them? The most unwise way to fight these forces is to fight them with money as they are the ones who print the US Dollars.”
“You should retreat first. That’s the only way.”
Zachary finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Henry put down the phone after a long time. He was completely depressed.
For the first time in his life, he was feeling how weak his identity as Young Master Law was.
For the first time, he felt that he could not solve the issues caused by many people and things in this world with his identity as Young Master Law.
Right now, he even did not have the qualifications to intervene.
