As it got near to the closing time, Dean
opened his mouth and stopped himself
from talking countless times.
He was almost dying from anxiety.
Right now, not only were the members of
the Haddock Chamber of Commerce
keeping an eye on him, even Gale was
keeping an eye on him.
If there was no reaction in the stock
market, then, of course, everyone would
think that the purpose of his trip had
failed.
And this time, the mission was related to
his position as the vice president of the
Chamber of Commerce.
With Gale’s increasing age, this position
was equivalent to almost half of the heir’s
identity.
Hence, this mission was very important t
o Dean.
However, Jasper’s show of strength just
now was a bit ruthless, so the horror that
he had just experienced still lingered.
Hence, Dean did not have much courage t
o bring it up again.
It did not matter if the mission failed, but i
f Jasper was offended, then even Gale
would not be able to save him anymore.
Hence, Dean was feeling very conflicted at
this moment.
“Don’t worry, this drop is nothing.”
When he saw Dean’s pain and internal
conflicts, Jasper finally took the initiative t
o speak.
“In the domestic stock market, the 10% rise and fall limit are to control certain unpredictable risks that will cause extreme market fluctuations. The limit of the rise and fall is only 10%. Soros can’t break this limit even if he has all the money in the world.”
Jasper’s words gave Dean some comfort.
However, Jasper’s words caused him to
put on his mask of pain again.
“This is just the beginning, and there will be many 10% declines in the future, but the Haddock Chamber of Commerce has built up a stockpile of reserve over the years that will be able to help you guys make it through this period.
“Therefore, we won’t see a decisive victory or defeat in the domestic financial market battle within the next day or two. A s long as we drag this out and prevent the stock market from crashing completely, w e can consider it a victory.
“Soros doesn’t own even ten dollars more than the money he is currently holding. Most of them belong to investors, and investors’ money did not appear out of thin air. What they need to see are the huge short-term benefits, otherwise, it would be a joke for them to take such a big risk.
“The money is all that they could piece together when the United States financial market was about to be overturned by the financial turmoil, which further increased their requirements for the return cycle
and rate of return. “Hence, we can drag this on, but Soros can’t afford to do so.
“If he wants to take decisive action in this
complex situation, then I will take as
much time as I can to show everyone my.
real ability. This will also require certain
methods.”
Jasper’s words made Dean very
uncomfortable.
“Mr. Laine, are you saying that this
situation will continue for a long time?”
“I don’t know how long it will take, but it
will definitely take some time. You have to
understand that under the huge disparity i
n strength between the two sides, many
things are actually visible right on the
surface. What we can do is drag on as
much as possible while waiting for an
opportunity to strike.”
After Jasper said this, the market
immediately stopped all trading and the
dense data that was previously refreshing
was also frozen.
“Okay, the market’s closed for today.”
Jasper glanced at the market, which had
fallen by a full 8%, and sighed.
On this day alone, at least 100 billion Somer Dollars had evaporated in the
domestic financial market.
This was the price of being inferior to others.
Looking at Dean’s unpleasant expression, Jasper said, “If you really want to be the savior of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, I can give you a chance, but again, you have to understand that everything in this world must be paid for. You know what I mean, right?”
Dean was stunned for a moment as his brain swiftly started thinking about the meaning of what Jasper said.
He did not dare to give any promises immediately, so he could only say cautiously, “I have no intention of being a savior…”
“There is only one chance, so don’t play dumb with me. If you don’t want it, I really don’t care. However, it won’t be that easy if you want to come back after turning away now,” Jasper said with a frown.
He really despised it when Dean would
pretend to be astute and play hard to get.
This was not the time to play these kind of
dirty tricks.
Dean gritted his teeth.
His temper was chased away by Jasper.
“Mr. Laine, tell me.”
Jasper said, “Soon, I will cooperate with
Swallow Capital to adopt a series of
market stimulus measures to counter the
reshuffle of the domestic financial market
started by Soros. There are some more
intense methods that will provide huge
opportunities, such as the centralized
listing of mega-level central enterprises.
Once approved, the market will quickly
warm up.
“And among these opportunities, the
biggest is the entry of the Social Security
Fund. If possible, I will try my best to
include a few companies from the
Haddock Chamber of Commerce list of
listed companies in the Social Security
Fund’s buying position. Once the Social
Security Fund is there as backup, it’ll be hard for this stock to lose money, but the quota is definitely limited and the threshold will be high..
“You should know what the Social Security Fund is. It is closely tied to the stability of Somerland’s entire society. Even Swallow Capital is afraid to make a mistake on this issue, let alone you or me. Therefore, the stocks it selects are not in a n attempt maximize profit, but to ensure that the stocks are safe and will not lose money. This threshold is already very high.
“As for this quota, I can ask you to recommend part of it. In this way, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce will not suffer as much right now, and also will not be destroyed completely. When the time comes and you want to take over, it will also be much easier.”
Dean’s eyes gradually became brighter.
He knew very well that once Jasper’s statement was true and the Social Security Fund invested in listed companies of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, then the power to control this quota would be
extremely huge.
Everyone wanted to be included in this
quota so how would they do so? Of course,
they would all curry favors with him,
please him, and promote him to the
highest authority.
If this worked out, he would not even have
to wait for Gale to pass away before taking
over.
The thought that appeared in his mind
suddenly caused Dean’s breathing to
quicken.
After lifting his head abruptly, what Dean
saw was Jasper’s grin.
Dean was shocked, but he did not try to
hide his greed. He knew that Jasper must
have figured out his thoughts, so it was
completely unnecessary to hide his
emotions in front of Jasper – not that he
could do so anyway.
After he took a deep breath, Dean asked in
a deep voice, “Then, what do I need to
sacrifice?”
“All you need to do is replace Gale
Hurlbutt.”
