“I understand. There’s still about half a month left before the selection. I will give your contact to Editor Swift, and she will contact you personally,” Wellington said.
“Okay.”
After sending away Wellington and the other man, Jasper put the matter aside and returned to the command center.
“Mr. Laine.”
Jake greeted Jasper immediately after seeing Jasper.
“Look at this.”
Jasper quickly browsed through the information in Jake’s hands after he took i t.
“This is the news that the data collection team has just received. Just now, Layman and Mayland Investment Bank both issued announcements. They’re expressing their optimism about the United States subprime loan market and state that they will increase investment in this market at this time.
“The subprime loan market has warmed u p again after being influenced by this news.
“Although trading is still unavailable since we’re in the settlement period, early analysis shows that after trading resumes, the downward trend of the market will slow down.”
Jasper nodded and said, “These United States scoundrels truly are the ancestors o f capitalists. Their reaction speed is indeed fast enough.
“Leave them. This is something they would have inevitably done. Now that they have regained some of the market confidence, we should up our efforts to get rid of it.
“Add 50 billion US Dollars and continue to sell short. I want to see the market price o f subprime credit products drop by at least 3 points as soon as I resume trading.”
“Roger that.” Jake nodded heavily and turned back to prepare.
Back in the command room, it was
already late, so the little prince and the
rest had already gone back to rest.
Meanwhile, Henry was on the phone with
Jill.
When Jasper came back, Henry quickly found an excuse to hang up the phone.
“It’s so late. Does Jill not need to rest?” Jasper asked curiously.
“She is competing abroad and it’s noon.
over there, so she is eating her lunch.”
Henry yawned, got up, and said, “I can’t stand it anymore. I have to go back to sleep.”
“Have you heard from Kayden and his father recently?” Jasper asked.
“Those two?”
When they got to this topic, Henry was immediately wide awake. He said with a sneer, “They are enjoying a good life now. I heard that they have bought a large number of assets in the United States and the United Kingdom. They are seriously going to start in the construction and development industries abroad.”
“I heard that you gave Kayden a mild concussion when you punched him back i n Harbor City,” Jasper said with a laugh.
Henry was suddenly thrilled. He said, “I still regret not performing well at the time. If I get another chance, I’ll make sure he gets carried out in a stretcher.
“When will you be taking action against those two? They’re living their best life now and I’m not happy about that,” Henry said grimly.
“Yes, of course we’ll be taking action against them.”
Jasper turned his head and looked at Conrad, who was still in the room. He asked with a smile, “Connie, why don’t you take charge of this?”
Conrad frowned and said, “Don’t call me
Connie. It doesn’t sound nice.”
“Alright, Connie.”
Conrad sighed. How could he lose to this kind of person?
He began to wonder if his surrendering to Jasper was really a smart decision.
“What do you want me to do?”
Jasper said, “The father and son duo
made their fortunes in telecommunications and real estate. The telecommunications industry has too many barriers to entry and they will not b e able to squeeze themselves in for a while. Moreover, once the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out in the United States, real estate will be very cheap. I think they will view this is a great opportunity to pick up some goodies.
“I will give you both resources and money. The opportunities are also readily available. Let’s dig a hole and make them jump inside voluntarily.”
Jasper pointed to Henry and said with a smile, “Your task is to carry the shovel and wait. After they jump in, bury them alive.”
