Samuel, who heard Jasper’s words, immediately scoffed. “So pretentious. Do you think you’re the only one who knows how to bluff? We might as well ignore everything and throw all our money in one direction in that case, then! Do you think that’ll secure your victory? F*cking hilarious!”
Jasper glanced at Samuel calmly and spoke, “That explains why you can only be all high and mighty within the county. I suppose there’s a reason why you can’t make it in the cities.”
As if he had his tail stepped on, Samuel immediately shot up and roared, “You f*cking brat! What did you just say?!”
It was Samuel’s biggest regret that he could not be a part of the city’s circle of wealthy people.
The last thing he could tolerate was people telling him he was a county tyrant. He dreamed of nothing more than to enter an even more sophisticated social circle, but they all looked down on him.
At the same time, Kai suddenly shouted, interrupting Samuel’s exploding anger.
“It’s a pullback! The prices are pulling back!”
The crowd all turned to look, only to see the price of cotton on the screen make an abrupt turn at the peak of the market and begin to drop.
It was a 500 Somer Dollar drop right at the beginning.
Kai immediately lost 400,000 of the 800,000 capital that just entered the market!
This was what made the capitalization game so thrilling.
“Hahaha. I already told you two idiots that you’ll be screwed if you follow this f*cking idiot. You lost half your capital with a 500 pullback. Another 500 and you’ll hit liquidation!” Samuel chortled.
Even John, who trusted Jasper the most, felt his heart thump nervously as he sneaked glimpses at Jasper—what more Kai?
However, Jasper remained calm. “It’s going to be okay.”
Jasper had already expected all of this.
There would indeed be a pullback in the price of cotton, but Jasper could not remember when the pullback stopped.
However, Jasper was certain that the pullback was a minor one, and the prices would then skyrocket afterward.
The risk was not huge to begin with, but Kai’s previous hesitation had him entering the market after a 400 Somer Dollar increase. As such, the risk now seemed more dangerous.
Kai took a deep breath. It was too late for him to turn back now, so he clenched his jaw and spoke, “It’s alright, Mr. Laine. This was my choice and I can’t blame you even if I end up hitting liquidation.”
Kai’s words had Jasper reestablishing his impression of the other.
“Don’t worry.” Jasper chuckled and replied.
There was another sharp drop in the price of cotton once Jasper finished speaking.
This time, it was a drop of 480 Somer Dollars!
Kai’s account showed a loss of 780,000, leaving 20,000 dollars left.
At the same time, Kai’s phone rang as well.
It was a call from the trading center informing him that he was about to hit liquidation and they asked if Kai wanted to add more funds.
Kai was despondent as he did not have any more money to add in, so he hung up the phone amidst Samuel’s mocking chortles.
“Mr. Laine, I’m afraid this time I’m really…”
Before Kai could finish talking, the screen showed a sudden spike in the price of cotton!
