“How pedantic!”
When it came to Sawyer, who was the weakest on the surface, Kennedy was not s o polite, so he just scolded him directly.
“Who are we? We are businessmen! Where there are benefits and interests in the world, there are people like us. As long as there are big enough interests, what are national sinners? That’s just an excuse for a loser!
“If we win this time, then all of our previous losses will be recovered and the entire upper class in Harbor City will be shuffled. In the future, there will be no four richest families of Harbor City because there will only be three- the J. Langdons, the W. Langdons, and the Atticus Family.
“Why do we have to stay here now and be disallowed from going back? Why can’t our respective families in Harbor City even leave their houses? Why is no one cooperating with our business in Harbor City?
“It’s not because we did something unconscionable nor we are national sinners, but it’s because we are losers!
“As long as we win, the Laws will fall and there will be people Harbor City who will kiss our *sses. Don’t you understand such a simple truth, Sawyer?”
The more he spoke, the more excited Kennedy became. Although he was speaking to Sawyer, his gaze kept shifting to Half-the-Harbor Langdon.
He knew very well that Half-the-Harbor Langdon was the true decision maker.
The final decision had always been what Half-the-Harbor Langdon insisted on.
Sawyer was particularly conflicted. He looked at Kennedy, then at Half-the Harbor Langdon, and suddenly said through gritted teeth. “I don’t care. I’m not going to take a stand on this matter, you can do whatever you say you want to.”
“How can that be?”
Kennedy was not happy.
“It was said before that if we encounter something that cannot be negotiated, us three will cast a vote. How will we vote if you abstain from it?”
“That’s enough.”
Half-the-harbor Langdon spoke.
Kennedy immediately shut his mouth and stared straight at Half-the-Harbor Langdon.
“We’ll… not do anything about this.”
Half-the-Harbor Langdon’s answer
caused Kennedy to turn pale with fright. “Joe, why? Don’t you agree with what I
said?”
“I do.”
Half-the-Harbor Langdon answered.
“Then, why…”
Half-the-Harbor Langdon sighed. This sigh interrupted Kennedy’s question.
“You guys forgot about one thing…
“There have been several times when we all agreed that Jasper’s odds of winning were infinitely small and that it is almost
impossible for him to make a comeback, but what happened in the end? The person who opposes him suffered a big loss every time. Among us, we have no less than two losses against Jasper, and those losses were huge.
“This situation is also very similar to the previous ones. No one thinks that Jasper can succeed. Whether it is from history or data analysis, Jasper is bound to lose, but Jasper seemed to exist only to break through everyone’s experience and what
everyone’s accustomed to.
“Now ask yourself, who dares to say that Soros will be able to defeat Jasper this time?”
After these words, Kennedy and Sawyer had different expressions, but they both kept their mouths tightly shut.
No matter how optimistic or arrogant they were, they could not say such a thing again.
They had been proven wrong so many times that it hurt.
After a long time, Kennedy finally said unwillingly, “From what you just said, Jasper is already invincible and there is no way to fight against him. As long as you fight against him, you will lose, right? But how can there be such a person and basis i n the world?”
“The reason why I choose to do nothing is not just because of my personal guesses about him.
“But for good reason.”
Half-the-Harbor Langdon stood up and paced slowly back and forth in the study, indicating that he was thinking seriously.
“Firstly, we don’t see any hope of Jasper winning in this current situation and Harbor City does not have much energy to protect itself, almost all of which is supported by Jasper. However, Jasper himself can’t last long either. If we understand this and Soros understands it too, it’s impossible that Jasper doesn’t understand this.
“But why did he still rush into Harbor Stocks to save the market? Is Jasper really a foolish moth that will fly to the flames?”
“If he is a fool, all of us here are mentally challenged.”
Kayden interjected abruptly.
Half-the-Harbor Langdon glanced at his son, but did not refute it.
When you insulted your opponent, you were often insulting yourself.
Half-the-Harbor Langdon continued, ” Don’t forget, the mainland had been following a benchmarking plan from a very early stage. With the rapid economic development, the thoughts and ideas of the people in the mainland are being severely impacted. This was inevitable after the reform and opening up.
“And a few years ago, the great individuals who had passed away said during the reform and opening up that we should let some people get rich first and then drive everyone to get rich together.
“According to my observations and some news channels, the mainland has been looking for such people from a very early time, but the requirements were simply too high. They can’t have political backgrounds and they can’t have a huge family background either. They would prefer ordinary people who were born and raised among the people. However, how would an ordinary person rise to such a high level?
“But at this time, Jasper appeared, and everything he did was in line with the mainland government’s requirements for this figurehead.
“Thus, I’m sure that the mainland government has been cultivating Jasper intentionally since a very early time.
“Specifically on this matter, Jasper is at risk of being made a burial offering at any time in the Harbor Stocks crisis. Jasper is not a moth to a flame, nor is he foolish. Instead, he’s a really wise man.
“He wants to use his actions to prove to the mainland government that he, Jasper Laine, is a benchmark that can be trusted and can stand up for the country at critical moments.
“No matter what the government thinks, a t least two things can be guaranteed.
Harbor Stocks can’t fail, and Jasper can’t
fail either.
“During the Terra financial crisis, we have experienced and benefited from the mainland’s determination to rescue Harbor City, so there is no doubt about the former.
“And Jasper had seen through this as well.
“This is my first point, as for the second…
“I suspect that Jasper has a bomb in the mainland A-share market. Once this bomb is detonated, it will be enough to blow up Soros into half a cripple.”
Everyone’s minds were operating along Half-the-Harbor Langdon’s story, and at this moment, they realized that they were looking at this incident so superficially while Half-the-Harbor Langdon had already made a painstaking investigation and analyzed the whole thing clearly.
“Dad, what kind of bomb could it be?” Kayden asked subconsciously.
Half-the-Harbor Langdon looked to the horizon in the direction of Somerland, and said softly, “The social security fund for the 1.2 billion people in the mainland.”
