The three commands Paulson were each
more shocking than the last.
Celine was a very clever person, so she reacted immediately. Colossal Investments, or rather, the entire United States Government and the Federal Reserve, had already taken measures to deal with the upcoming collapse of the subprime market.
However, it was still closing time, so it had not been announced yet, but Celine had already learned one specific piece of news regarding this.
The Federal Reserve would invest at least
300 billion US Dollars to rescue the
market.
As a dealer of shorts, Jasper and the JW Foundation under his name were definitely the thorn in the eye of the 300 billion US Dollar rescue plan this time, and he would also be the first target to be eradicated.
“Sir, am I right to assume that since the investment bank has already made the decision and even asked me to prepare to acquire JW’s high-quality assets, that the investment bank doesn’t think that Jasper has any possibility of a comeback?”
Facing Celine’s question, Paulson asked
calmly, “Make a comeback? What do you
think?”
Celine was speechless.
Indeed, when the Federal Reserve
personally came into the game, it was no
longer an even playing field.
How would they fight this?
Even the chips in your hand were made by
others, so how were you going to continue
playing?
“I know that you and Jasper have a good
personal relationship and there are even some other private collaborations between the two of you, but these are not important. I hope you can understand that you should make the most correct choice based on the current situation.
“We are very aware that the Somerland government is supporting Jasper from behind, but what bargaining chips and qualifications do the Somerland government have that they can hope to fight the United States government?
“Once the situation escalates again and when the conflict requires a victim to serve as a buffer, who do you think the victim will be? Who else is more suitable than Jasper and his JW?”
Paulson’s words made Celine frown.
“Sir, do you mean that the Somerland government is likely to regard Jasper as a n abandoned pawn?”
Paulson replied, “It may not be the case right now because Jasper still holds some value, but it’s all about interests whether i t is within a government or a company. However, the government considers the national interest, while the company considers the company’s interest. Although their interests and needs are different, the essence of their operations are the same.
“When the benefits of giving up Jasper
outweigh the benefits that Jasper can
bring, what will Somerland choose?
“I think Jasper should know this too. National interests are above all else, and this is especially important in Somerland. It is even possible that Jasper has also made plans to sacrifice himself to accomplish a bigger goal.”
Celine shook her head decisively and said,
“Impossible, I know him, and he is not
such a person.”
Paulson said with a grin, “This has nothing to do with you or me. In short, if conflicts and contradictions continue to escalate, the only ones who will eventually come out to clean up the mess are the Somerland and United States government. Any other individual or company will not be qualified to handle this. At that time, what will happen if the United States government needs to quell the anger?
“And what will happen when Somerland
needs to get more benefits from the
United States?
“On the chessboard that is the subprime market, Jasper and Wall Street are opponents sitting on opposite sides of the board, but in terms of the overall game, Jasper and Wall Street are actually chess pieces on a larger board. The players on the board are the Somerland government and the United States government.”
Celine pursed her lips and said nothing.
“Okay, Miss Maynard, my order has been issued, is there anything else you don’t understand?” Paulson asked.
