A glint appeared in the reporters’ eyes
when they heard what Jasper said.
Although they could not change the words
spoken by a major figure like Jasper, they
were allowed to weigh in with their
opinions.
They would have an attention -grabbing
title once they added in their opinions.
Thus, the reporters let their questions
flow freely.
Coupled with the fact there was no host to
maintain order, the mess meant that
anything could happen.
Jasper even heard a brave reporter ask if h
e was considering launching a speculative
attack on the United States…
F*cking hell, anyone with even an ounce o
f financial knowledge would know it was
impossible to launch a speculative attack o
n United State dollars. It was such an
ignorant question that Jasper decided to
ignore it.
“Mr. Laine, I heard a rumor that there will
be some official guests attending this
economic forum. Is this true?
“Why would official guests attend an
economic forum regarding private
capital? Does this mean there’s an ulterior
motive behind this economic forum?
“Moreover, we’ve noticed that this
economic forum is branded as the first of
its kind in the country. Does this mean
that a second and third forum will be held
at set times and frequency in the future?”
Jasper finally heard a question he was
interested in answering amidst
everything that was directed at him.
Jasper glanced at the good-looking
reporter,
who blushed from excitement
when she noticed Jasper paying attention t
o her, and said, “Firstly, I can say with
confidence that we have invited
government officials to this economic
forum. After all, we need proper advice
and guidance from officials if we want to
bring order to our markets. Thus, it’s not
surprising that we’ve extended a formal
invitation to these officials to be our special guests. They’ve been very supportive of us all this while.
“As for the ulterior motives you speak of, I’m not sure what you mean by that, but I can assure you that everything is perfectly just and honorable. There aren’t any conspiracies going on.
“We need to observe the markets and determine if it’s a suitable time to host an economic forum, but I hope that it will become normalized, as we greatly need such platforms that allow people to converse freely with each other. We’ll host a second and third one in the future i f we get the chance to do so, but we need t o have a great start first. I hope today will provide us with that golden opportunity.”
“Mr. Laine, what is your opinion on Half the-Harbor Langdon merging and acquiring Layman, and then filing for bankruptcy just half a month later?”
Jasper grinned when he heard those questions.
Jasper’s grin had a knowing look to it as if he were saying “if you know, you know”.
News traveled so quickly through
different forms of media now that it was n
o longer a secret that Half-the-Harbor
Langdon and his son had stabbed JW
Foundation in the back. Thus, everyone
had guessed that Jasper and Joe had long
since cut ties with each other.
This could also be observed from how
Jasper launched numerous attacks on the
United States’ financial market whereas
Joe had gone on to merge and acquire
Layman.
“It’s a shame.”
That was how Jasper decided to answer
that question as several pairs of eyes
stared back at him hungrily.
“From a technical point of view, it’s
obvious that this was a failed investment of
n Mr. Joe Langdon’s part. However, since
it’s his money, no one has the right to
comment on how he wants to use it.”
It was easy to read what he meant by that.
Who cares what a rich idiot like him does
with his money?
Whereas him saying it was a shame could be read as him finding it hilarious.
“Alright guys, your three questions have been answered. Do forgive me for having limited time for you. I’ll try my best to answer more questions and quench your curiosity if I have the chance to do so in the future, but I really have to go now.”
Jasper raised his arms apologetically as he walked towards Pearl Tower while surrounded by his group of people.
