“Mr. Laine, what do you think of the crisis in the United States subprime market?”
The highlight of the interview was coming.
Jasper was sitting upright and still. He said, “This is a very interesting question. First of all, what is a crisis? In my opinion, this is not just a crisis in the subprime market, but a loophole caused b y the entire United States economic system.
“Gamers like us know that games or software programs will have various bugs. Some bugs are loopholes because they will bring convenience and benefits to those who find them. In my opinion, capitalists i n the United States are merely a group of unruly players.
“Their greed has caused this loophole to grow larger and more serious. In the end, the ones who have to bear the consequences are the citizens of the United States. Meanwhile, they have already made a lot of money and have left the market.”
Swift did not expect Jasper to say this.
However, instead of panicking, she was
excited.
People in the media were not afraid of the
guests who were bold enough to speak
their minds but rather, they were afraid of
guests who dared not say anything.
Similar to the highly influential selection of
f the cover character of Time Magazine,
most of the previous interviewees made
some fluffy statements, such as Jasper’s
answer to the previous questions.
Yet, Swift could guarantee that if they
published Jasper’s remarks right now, it
would definitely blow up in popularity.
“So, Mr. Laine, JW Capital’s role at this
time is to uncover this scar, right?”
Jasper laughed and said, “It’s not that
noble. I just made some investments in
the market on a legal basis from the
perspective of commercial interests. For
example, I think the subprime market will
collapse and fall, so I am bearish. If I
think it will rise, then I will buy more. It’s
that simple.”
“Then, Mr. Laine, in your opinion, this is
entirely from the perspective of
commercial interests and does not involve
any political factors?”
Any ordinary Somerland businessmen
would dare not answer the question Swift
asked.
However, Jasper still gave her his answer.
“No, I’m just a businessman. I do
business to make money and pay taxes..
It’s as simple as that. Politics is a matter
for politicians to handle, and I won’t
participate in it.”
“Mr. Laine, as one of the world’s most
successful investment businessmen in
your age bracket, do you have anything to
share with ordinary investors?”
Jasper thought for a while and said, ”
Respect the laws of the market. What
should collapse is bound to collapse.
Before investing, investigate the actual
situation of the industry and learn more
about it. Furthermore, I should ask the
investors in the United States to prepare
for the financial winter.”
The interview lasted two and a half hours.
Toward the end, Swift’s questions became more and more acute. She even asked Jasper if he was considering listing JW in the United States.
Even Jasper felt a little overwhelmed.
At that point, this interview which was almost ending, was interrupted by an emergency call from Jake.
