Jasper was fiddling with a pen at this time. No one knew what he had on his mind.
The two had been fighting for so long, but this was the first time Conrad observed Jasper up close when he was thinking.
He really wanted to know the circumstances under which this man came up with those amazing ideas and reasonings.
Regardless of the mood, the flow of time was fixed.
Ten minutes before the opening, Jake entered the command room.
His arrival shocked everyone, and at the
same time, they became nervous.
Everyone knew that Jake was here to listed to each team report their preparations. This segment was the final task before the battle began. After its completion, everyone would wait for the arrival of the final moment.
“Mr. Laine and fellow investors.”
Jake stood in the circle comprised of big shots and was feeling a little excited.
Any one of these people were successors o f wealthy families. The power they mastered was not imaginable by ordinary people and they could even easily affect entire industries with their decisions.
Taking a deep breath, Jake continued, ” The team’s preparations are in place. JW Foundation’s total blocked funds are 89.2 billion US Dollars, and the total amount of Somer Dollars reserves is 1.1 trillion Somer Dollars, which is equivalent to 146 billion US Dollars.
“According to analysts’ forecasts, within half an hour after the market opens, the trading orders that had been locked before the lockdown order took effect will be released. This part of the trading orders will cost us more than 15 billion US Dollars.”
Jake’s tone suddenly became serious as he continued, “In other words, the moment the battle begins, we will lose 15 billion US Dollars and the total capital scale will be
reduced from 244.2 billion US Dollars to
229.2 billion US Dollars.”
These words made the atmosphere in the command room heavy.
They would be losing 15 billion US Dollars before the battle even started. This was
not good news.
However, everyone knew that this was inevitable.
After all, when the lockdown order came
into effect, all of JW Foundation’s
positions were being liquidated in batches by Quantum Fund. Some of the transaction orders had been recorded, but because the lockdown order’s effect, no settlements were made.
Conversely, once the lockdown order was lifted, they would be settled immediately. At this time, Jasper’s phone that had been
on the table vibrated.
Jasper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He said, “Everyone, don’t worry too much. Now, let me show you some good news.”
With that, Jasper motioned to his assistant to switch the contents of the electronic screen to the news channel.
This was the official news channel of the United States.
The beautiful blond and blue-eyed host was broadcasting the news with a serious
look on her face.
“This is an emergency broadcast. In the just-concluded National Assembly Bill discussion, six new bills were passed, including the Penalty Amendment Act of Texas…”
Everyone looked dumbfounded and they did not understand why Jasper suddenly asked all of them to watch the United States news.
However, everyone was patient. They knew Jasper would not do anything meaningless.
Sure enough, as the news was being broadcasted, the host dropped a huge bomb.
“In addition, after careful consideration, Congress has decided to open up the
restrictions on offshore capital. This will affect financial operations on non-United States domestic funds in and out of the United States. There will be no more quota restrictions, and the transfers can be carried out 24 hours a day without delay.
“The relevant spokesperson said this signifies that the United States is the most democratic country in the world and will not discriminate against any capital; that the United States is an open country and welcomes any legal capital to invest in the country.
“In addition to this, the spokesperson of the Supreme Circuit Court stated that from now on, unless there is clear criminal evidence, applications for seizure orders against foreign capital or foreign companies will not be approved.
“This also proves that the United States has taken a big step towards becoming a more open and democratic country…”
The entire command center was silent, and everyone looked at Jasper dumbfounded. They could not figure out how a man from Somerland, or rather a man from Somerland who was regarded as the major enemy by the United States capital, managed to remotely control the United States Congress to pass these two extremely loose and friendly policies.
