One would not be noble if they did not avenge animosity.
Jasper did not care whether it was noble o r not, but the moment it was clear that Kayden and his father had betrayed him, Jasper already started thinking about revenge.
Jasper could not wait for even a second more to seek revenge. When he thought about how the people who framed him were living their best lives, Jasper could not even eat or think straight.
“You can’t rush this matter even if you want to.”
Jasper rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes, and said, “The J. Langdon father and son, especially the old one, is a fox who is cautious and savage. The combination of these two personalities makes it easy for him to lie dormant and wait. Yet, the second he moves, he will definitely go all out.”
“Hence, the pit must be dug deep and the disguise must be good enough. It is best to let him take the initiative to come to us. ۱۱
When he was talking about this, Jasper looked at Conrad and Henry with a grin. You two are the most suitable for this.”
Conrad and Henry glanced at each other,
waiting for Jasper to continue.
“Connie will be hiding in the dark, while Henry, will stand under the light. You’ll wait for me to prepare the bait, and then you’ll naturally know what to do.”
“I still don’t understand,” Henry said with a straight face.
Jasper said a lot of things, but he still did not understand it. Originally, he wondered if there was something wrong with what Jasper said, but Conrad seemed to understand it, which made Young Master Law very unhappy.
Was there a problem with his comprehension skills?
“So, what is our target ?” Conrad asked the question he had in mind.
Jasper was delighted when he heard Conrad’s question. He said to Henry, Look, even he understands.”
“Layman.”
Before Henry, whose face was dark, could answer, Jasper gave Conrad the answer.
Surprise flashed across Conrad’s face.
“Layman is one of the Big Four banks, and its market value is worth hundreds of billions of US Dollars…”
“At least half of its hundreds of billions of US Dollars is invested in the subprime market.”
Jasper interrupted Conrad’s sentence and said.
In his previous life, during the subprime mortgage crisis, the first and largest company to collapse was Layman Investment Bank.
At that time, the subprime mortgage crisis was at its worst, and the Federal Reserve and the finance department had t o rescue the market.
The way they rescued the market was simple and straightforward, and that was to o give out money.
They injected capital into all the banks and credit companies that were on the verge of failure so that they could temporarily tide over this difficulty.
The problem was that the scale of Layman Investment’s debt was too large. Whether i t was the Federal Reserve Bank or the finance department, their money could not be fabricated out of thin air.
Of course, the power of printing the US Dollars was in the hands of the Federal Reserve, but the very reason for the subprime mortgage crisis in the first place was that the Federal Reserve had issued too many US Dollars for many years, resulting in an excess supply of US Dollars in the market.
Therefore, how could the Federal Reserve or the entire United States government issue hundreds of billions of dollars again to rescue Layman Investment?
With that, Layman Investment went
bankrupt.
Under this global uproar, everyone had clearly seen the nature of the United States fiscal weakness.
Hence, the United States’ economic policy became more and more unrestrained later on, and with the global currency hegemony settled by the US Dollar, it became completely shameless.
This was also one of the main reasons why Somer Dollars and the Euro had gradually become more accepted worldwide.
Everyone had seen through the tricks of these scoundrels from the United States, and they would only pay for them when they had no choice. However, if there was another choice, they would not hesitate to use it; As such, they would use Somer Dollars and Euros to fight the US Dollar.
These things, at least for now, had nothing to do with Jasper. He only needed to know that Layman would go bankrupt.
“If Layman becomes a victim that must b e sacrificed in this subprime mortgage crisis, then when it goes bankrupt, it will become a fallen elephant.
“Even if it is an elephant that was starved to death, the meat left on its bone will be enough for greedy people like Kayden and his father to lunge after.
“What’s more, they are optimistic about the real estate industry. In the eyes of this father and son duo, if they take over Layman, Layman’s subprime loan products that are currently worth hundreds of billions of dollars represent a source of wealth that will eventually return to them.
“You must know that this is the United States, and they are the most powerful country in the world after all. A financial crisis will cause their economy to suffer heavy losses, but it is not enough to tear down an entire economic empire. The industry will still be there, but it will become worthless.
“As long as the United States ranks first i n the world, the assets sold within it will b e deemed as good.”
What Jasper said at this time was not groundless. In fact, it would become the investment ideology that Half-the
Harbor Langdon would follow later on.
It was just that in the previous life, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2008, during the peak of Half-the-Harbor Langdon’s domestic investment.
Taking into account the domestic sentiment and the political situation of the United States at that time, Half-the Harbor Langdon finally transferred his wealth to the United Kingdom.
This was what made the thing in 2018 take place. Half-the-Harbor Langdon made a lot of money in Somerland and then sold his assets on a large scale to divest. After that, he invested all the money earned from the people in the country into the United Kingdom.
From a business standpoint, what Half the-Harbor Langdon did was right.
However, businessmen also had nationalities. The practice of abandoning one’s benefactor upon achieving one’s goal and fleeing after earning a profit disappointed too many people in Somerland.
“Also, what if there is news that the Laws are interested in Layman?”
Jasper’s words made Conrad and Henry
thoroughly understand his plan.
“How relentless!”
Henry gave Jasper a thumbs up. He was
looking excited and expectant.
Jasper laughed and said, “Then you two should start preparing for this matter. If I defeat Layman, you can follow up. If we manage to take away half the lifeblood of Half-the-Harbor Langdon this time, I think he’ll no longer be worthy of his namesake.”
Henry said gleefully, “I like it. Don’t worry, I will definitely do this kind of shady business for you.”
“I will draw up a plan for you later.”
Conrad thought for a while. This was his first mission after he joined JW, and the goal was to destroy Half-the-Harbor Langdon. This made him a little excited.
For someone like Conrad, it would be a waste of talent to have him sit in the
office to handle official duties.
Therefore, since the very start, Jasper planned to use Conrad and get him. involved in a fair share of his own affairs a s much as possible. There were many things that the company’s top management was not suited to do, but which Conrad was an excellent candidate for.
Whether it was wit or bravery, Conrad was definitely no worse than anyone else Jasper had ever contacted.
“Yes, I will provide you with whatever you need. I only ask that the final result meet my expectations.”
When Jasper finished speaking, Jake came in.
“The settlement is over and transaction has resumed.”
Jasper suddenly turned around and said, ” Project the data onto the screen and let’s look at Layman and the Quantum Fund’s actions.”
