“Earlier this year, he made his first pot of gold in the futures market in Mainland. Then, he made a lot of money in the international crude oil market. I didn’t expect the mysterious retail investor that Quantum Fund contacted last time to be him as well.”
When Kennedy and Bob heard that, they were surprised.
“I guess we underestimated him last time!” Kennedy said profoundly.
“You guys got information on Jasper in such a short time?” Bob narrowed his eyes and said while suppressing the shock in his heart.
Rogers shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You have to believe in the ability of Quantum Fund. We have clients and information all over the world. As long as you can pay, I can even tell you what color underwear the top man of the United States is wearing right now.”
“I have to go to Law Manor in the afternoon. On one hand, I’m going to watch their every move, and on the other hand, I need to be prepared at any time. So, over here…” Kennedy looked at Rogers.
“You don’t have to worry,” Rogers said flatly, “My people from Quantum Fund will take over from now.”
Bob was not happy that he had been pushed aside. He asked quickly, “What about me?”
“You can watch from one side.”
Kennedy sighed and made eyes at Bob secretly.
Even though he was disappointed in Bob, Kennedy could not kick him away now.
The collaboration with Quantum Fund was fine for now, but Kennedy knew more than anyone that Quantum Fund was a coyote that would swallow a person whole.
He needed to go to Law Manor, so no one would be keeping an eye on Quantum Fund. He would not be able to be at ease this way.
Bob understood what Kennedy meant and could only nod.
It was as if Rogers had no idea what they were communicating about. He said insipidly, “Initially, my team and I planned to collaborate with the government and aristocrats of Harbor City to rescue the market. This time, we’ve prepared 150 billion Harbor Dollars in addition to your 50 billion.”
He lifted two fingers. “We have a fund of 200 billion, but the market rescue fund of Harbor City is only 100 billion. Plus, I have a team of the best traders in the world, so how can they fight with me?”
When Kennedy heard this, he got up and said, “Okay. We’ll do it according to the plan. I’ll go to Law Manor now. It’s almost time, so I have to get there before the market commences in the afternoon.”
…
Before the market commenced in the afternoon, the atmosphere in Law Manor was getting lively.
One after another, cars representing the top aristocratic families in Harbor City drove into Law Manor.
At the same time, the security had been heightened to the max. Not only did the millionaires have their own bodyguards, but the police force that was transferred here by the government was also patrolling around the place.
Before the end of the financial war, this place would be one of the safest places in Harbor City.
In the living room of Law Manor, Jasper was officially meeting the heads of the four richest families in Harbor City.
There was nothing much to say about Zachary.
The first one to greet Jasper was Clark.
“Young man, I’ve heard about you. Keith told me about you as well. You’re exceptional. I’m depending on you this time,” Clark shook Jasper’s hand and said.
Jasper nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Duvall. I’ll do my best.”
Clark laughed loudly and said, “You don’t have to bear too much burden. If the sky were to fall, us old farts will hold it for you.”
“I’m young and my body is still strong, so I don’t think you elders need to throw your caps in the ring.”
Jasper made a joke.
Clark guffawed and pointed at Jasper before he turned his head to say to Spencer and Kennedy, “Look, I told you that Zachary won’t make mistakes. This young man is so interesting.”
Kennedy smiled and looked at Jasper. He said, “Our hopes are on you.”
Jasper replied neither obsequiously nor superciliously, “I’ll try my best.”
“To be honest, I was quite surprised when I knew it was you.” There was a hidden meaning behind what Kennedy said and it was significant.
Jasper looked at Kennedy without saying anything.
Kennedy patted Jasper’s shoulder affectionately. He grinned and said, “My son is insensible. It’ll be useful for him if you taught him a lesson.”
Jasper did not think much about what Kennedy said.
At this moment, perhaps he was worried that the animosity between the two of them would affect the market rescue plan, so Kennedy’s words actually sounded pretty reasonable.
“Your son and I did have some beef between us, but it’s between us. The present condition is more important for now.”
Jasper’s attitude caused Kennedy to smile in ‘satisfaction’. He said, “We’re looking forward to your performance.”
While they were talking, Zack knocked on the door and came in. “Sir, three minutes till the market commences.”
There were a lot of ‘sirs’ in this room.
However, everyone knew he was referring to Jasper.
Jasper nodded and extended his hand as an invitation. Then, he led the heads of the four rich families into the living room.
Clark, Zachary, Kennedy, and Spencer arrived in the living room, and the air there immediately became intense.
Even Zack and Jake, who wanted so badly for Jasper to fall flat on his face, were feeling more nervous than usual, let alone the stock traders.
After all, these four men were the heads of the four rich families of Harbor City.
It would be extremely difficult to meet even one of them on any ordinary day. Now, they were here together.
Everyone felt a sense of glory as they were in the same room as sovereign kings who were far removed from the masses and reality.
Jake suppressed the nervousness in his heart. With a scoff, he looked at Jasper who was the center of everyone’s attention. He felt extremely jealous and furious.
If it was not for this country bumpkin from Mainland, the person enjoying the attention and escort from the heads of the four rich families would be him, Jake Cullen!
When he thought about this, Jake clenched his fists in anger. His eyes that were staring at Jasper were getting more and more hostile.
“Stock traders, get ready for the commencement of the market.”
Jasper did not care what the four rich families and Jake were thinking. He ordered calmly and unhurriedly.
After he said that, the stock traders under him started making preparations. A hint of solemnness and respectfulness appeared amidst the intense atmosphere in the living room.
After turning around, Jasper saw Anna handing him a pot of tea she just brewed.
Anna knew Jasper liked drinking tea and he would drink some whenever he felt like it. As such, whenever she was free, she would make a pot for Jasper.
This was the tacit understanding that had been cultivated between the two of them after spending these few days with each other.
Jasper smiled at Anna before turning around and lifting his head to look at the digital screen. Right now, it was the countdown to the commencement of the market.
At the same time in the secluded villa.
The team of stock traders had been replaced by blonde-haired Caucasians with blue eyes. As the person with the decision-making power, the man stood under the digital screen and stretched lazily.
“Brace yourselves, boys. This afternoon, I want to massacre Harbor Stocks. Tomorrow, all of the investors from around the world will know the name Quantum Fund. We’re the kings of the capitalist world!”
