Celine hesitated for a while, then asked, ” Are the things you just told me trade secrets?”
“If you ask me as a subordinate, then yes. I
f you ask me as my niece, then I can only
tell you, please make the right choice.”
After Paulson said these meaningful
words, he ended the video call.
Meanwhile, Celine sat in her study for a
long time, spaced out.
More than half an hour later, Celine called Jasper directly.
She made a choice, at least the one she thought was the right choice.
Jasper had just fallen asleep when he
received Celine’s call.
However, he had long been accustomed to
being called back to work by an emergency call at any time, so Jasper regained his vigor as soon as he got on the call.
He glanced at Wendy, who was sleeping
next to him, and stood up lightly. After
walking out of the bedroom, he said to the
phone. “It’s me.”
On the other end of the phone, Celine explained to him the whole situation as briefly as she could. Of course, she did not tell him Paulson’s theory of the chess player and abandoned pawn.
It was not that she had concealed something, but she was very clear that Jasper did not need this news to distract him at this time. No matter what the situation was, the direction of the future depended on Jasper’s performance in this vital situation.
“300 billion? The Federal Reserve is so
generous.” Jasper did not panic after he learned of the
news.
After all, to him, the Federal Reserve would have joined the game sooner or later. He even felt that this was not enough.
One had to know that when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in his last life, the United States lost more than tens of trillions of dollars. From this, the money the Feds injected into investment banks of large institutions to save the market alone exceeded 800 billion.
The money was not completely returned t o the Federal Reserve for more than ten years, even until the point at which Jasper was reincarnated.
This time, although Jasper detonated the
subprime mortgage crisis ahead of schedule, making it less harmful than the original because the accumulation was reduced by six to seven years, the loopholes in the United States financial system were still a black hole of funds, and the United States would not smooth it out so easily without paying a heavy price.
“From now on, you will not get any help i In the West, and no one will cooperate with you at this time. Even my family will wait and see things out before acting, so your situation is not favourable,” Celine said.
“I know, this is reasonable.”
Jasper said calmly.
“But won’t you get into trouble for revealing such important news to me?”
“Do you think I’ll get into trouble for
leaking trade secrets?” Celine asked
bluntly.
“It’s fine, you can just leave. Before this, I told you if you can’t continue to work in Colossal, you can come to find me. I can give you a position here,” Jasper said half jokingly.
“I told you I only worked for venture capital, and you don’t even have a bank. Should I go there to be your secretary?” Celine said with a chuckle.
“Who says I don’t have a bank?”
