Jasper’s words were heavy, but they also
moved Baz and Jake.
Especially Baz, who gritted his teeth and said with a nod, “Don’t worry, I will not let you down at this time. Also, I won’t easily give up the position I am in to others.”
As time went by, it was soon nearly opening time.
Since the opening of the market this time would determine the outcome of JW Foundation and Wall Street capital, the attention the event gathered exceeded everyone’s imagination.
In the words of an economics professor, this was a grand gathering of modern economics and finance.
How far had its influence reached?
The financial media outlets in dozens of major countries around the world were all staffed on this day and everyone had been scheduled to work overtime urgently.
This ranged from special guests to analysts to moderators with professional capabilities, and included the writing team behind the scenes. In this situation, even the editor-in-chief and chief editors would have to stay back in the office.
They were waiting to do a live broadcast immediately after the opening. The manuscripts had already been written and the chief editors and editors-in-chief would review and publish them in the shortest time after launch.
Somerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Sunrise Land, and other major countries’ financial securities departments, economic control departments, and the corresponding decision-making arms of the central bank all worked overtime. They were preparing to scrutinize the battle that would soon commence.
Meanwhile, some of those smaller institutions in countries that were relatively small, incapable, and not courageous enough to participate were not idle either. They requested all employees to stay in the company to pay
attention to this industry’s grand
occasion.
This was a great opportunity to observe and improve regardless of whether it was for the organization itself or the business capabilities of their employees.
There were very few opportunities like this.
Well-known economic schools all over the world even suspended classes altogether on this day.
The professors would bring the students t o sit together in the school auditorium or large conference rooms so that they would be ready to observe and learn from i t live.
There was nothing more capable of cultivating a person’s abilities than actual combat. Even if they were not qualified to participate, it was still a rare opportunity t o watch from the sidelines and substitute yourself in any role on both offensive and defensive sides.
On this day, some stock exchanges that had been opened due to time differences,
such as the Eastern Capital Securities Exchange, Waterhoof City A Shares, Harbor City Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, and several other core global economic exchanges experienced their lowest trading volume in years.
It was not due to economic downturn, but that almost all of the vast majority of retail investors and institutions, unless absolutely necessary, were focused on the United States stock market.
On the one hand, they did not have enough energy to monitor both markets. O n the other hand, everyone knew that the victory or defeat in the United States stock market would directly affect the global economic trend. The huge fluctuations that occurred in the middle represented huge wealth for institutions and brokerage retail investors.
Therefore, the trading of commodities such as stocks, securities, futures, oil, and so on had all fallen into a strange calm.
At this moment, in the Nauritus City Trading Center.
The whole building was brightly lit.
Except for the trading center itself, all the rooms on the two floors below it had been remodeled.
They had been transformed into a cafeteria, kitchen, and lounge.
For this protracted battle, Jasper specifically asked the entire team in the company’s kitchen to work three shifts. These days, they were all working overtime and overnight. With this, the moment someone put in a request the moment they were hungry, there would b e food ready to be delivered at any time.
Furthermore, there would be a fixed time when someone would send supper and drinks upstairs every night.
Also, in this kind of high-intensity confrontation, be it was a trader, an analyst, or other roles, it was easy to burn out. Thus, if they could not handle this anymore, they could immediately get up and go to the lounge to rest. There were at least two substitutes behind each position ready to take over the job at any time.
It could be said that Jasper had truly built
the trading center into a battlefield
command center. The reason for this was the pursuit of ultimate victory.
There were still a few hours before the opening, but it was already lively here.
