“Haha. If you’re busy, Mr. Monty, then I shall leave you to it.”
Guilty, Colin did not dare to stay for too long and hastily told Conrad.
Conrad grabbed Colin’s hand intimately and spoke, “Then I shall trouble you with this, Mr. Walter.”
Colin bid him farewell and got into his car.
From the rearview mirror, Colin watched Benjamin speak to Conrad nervously and sighed.
Today might just be the last day Conrad treats him respectfully.
It would be a miracle if Conrad does not kill him the next time they meet.
In addition to the fear swirling in Colin’s chest, there was an inexplicable sense of pride as well.
Naturally, he knew of the situation that Benjamin just reported.
‘Benjamin’s a skilled man himself and he has precisely caught Jasper’s goal. It was a shame… that Conrad would never expect me to turn against him.
‘He probably won’t care about Jasper’s move, would he?’
Colin suddenly exhaled a long sigh. ‘Jasper’s terrifying. This was a simple plan, to have me pretend to agree to whatever Conrad requests. I’m essentially brewing a cup of poison and making Conrad drink it willingly.’
Hearing Colin fish, the driver asked curiously, “Why are you sighing, Mr. Walter?”
Colin replied calmly, “Change is coming to the Southeast Province.”
…
“So what?”
Conrad heard Benjamin’s report in the study and turned on his computer. It had already been half an hour since the afternoon market reopened.
The shares limit down had been opened but the share prices did not plummet. As if someone was trying to control the market and not let the share prices drop.
“Victory is already ours.”
Conrad was in a great mood as he thought about his agreement with Colin today and smiled. “We have 45% of the shares at hand, and with the Southeast Province Mining Co., Ltd on our side, Jasper can do whatever he wants and he’ll only have 20% of the total shares. What’s he going to do then?”
Scoffing, Conrad spoke, “This is merely his last crazed attempt.”
Benjamin was stunned and he asked instinctively, “Mr. Monty, so we’ll ignore him, then?”
Conrad laughed aloud and spoke, “He wants to buy shares, doesn’t he? Then let him. Instead of fighting for it, we’ll sell the 5% we bought with high prices over the past few days.”
“This 5% of shares had cost me more than a billion unnecessarily. Now we’ll make Jasper give me all that money back. I wonder how angry he’d look when he finds out.”
Benjamin’s eyes shone and he spoke, “I understand, sir.”
Watching Benjamin leave in a rush, Conrad realized that he liked this employee of his a lot. Ignoring everything else, this man’s sense of responsibility was a very rare trait.
Planning to promote Benjamin, Conrad walked over to the window to stare at the beautiful spring scenery. His emotions had also truly relaxed since all of this started.
…
“That’s a lot of transactions.”
Henry suddenly shouted at the computer monitor. The man sat in the study with a straw in his mouth as he drank his bottle of coca-cola.
“I saw.” Jasper’s eyes shone.
“That’s a huge business, he’s giving you control over the market.” Henry gasped.
Without hesitation, Jasper bought everything. Thus controlling the k-line to stay unmoving as it approached limit down.
“I’m more than happy to control it.”
Jasper stared into the monitor as if he could see Conrad through it and spoke calmly, “It’s him. He wants to earn all that money he paid unnecessarily for these stocks from me.”
Henry snickered. He was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.
Picking it up, Henry conversed with the other end shortly before he waved his phone at Jasper. “It’s from Colin. He called and said that Conrad invited him to a two to three-hour lunch.”
“As you predicted, Conrad requested that he take a stand on his side. Colin’s acted just as you requested and Conrad must’ve been sold.”
The k-line moved around the limit down throughout the entire transacting day and along it tugged the heartstrings of thousands of investors.
Everyone stared at the weirdly moving market and was engulfed in utter turmoil.
Some people could tell that this market was the result a dealer wanted. These people wanted to join, but they did not dare. For the moment the dealer retreated, they would have to take up control next.
However, if they do not enter the market, not earning from a rapid jump in share prices would be as distressing as losing money.
Even organizations with professional teams were confused, let alone retail investors.
Countless professional analysis teams within organizations around the world were wracking their minds trying to analyze and predict what this dealer had in mind.
Amidst everyone’s internal conflict, it was currently twi0fifty in the afternoon, ten minutes away from when the market would close.
The moment the minute hand hit fifty, the renowned Skyward Aluminum’s shares suddenly skyrocketed.
A big upward trendline had pulled Skyward Aluminum’s shares from its lowest limit down price straight up.
The line truly resembled a rocket launch.
Countless organizations and retail investors cursed. They wanted to join in but the share prices were rising every second.
The price changed every second and by the time one wanted to buy it, all shares of that specific price were already sold out and the price would rise by another point.
Countless people were so impatient they wanted to break their keyboards, and they regretted their indecisiveness.
Just like that, a huge sum of 2.5 billion entered the market in less than ten minutes. It pushed the market price that was struggling by the limit down for the entire transaction day all the way up to rise to the limit. Locking it there.
In a single day, Skyward Aluminum had undergone a total trade of shares worth over 10 billion. This terrifying amount of transactions had undoubtedly created history in share market A for the year 2001.
Pme could only imagine how editors of financial channels would have to burn the midnight oil working tonight. For all financial news outlets would be reporting this incident tomorrow.
While the mastermind behind it all was sharing a celebratory glass of champagne with Henry.
“I currently have 24% of the shares on had right now. I’ve got to thank Conrad for that 5%, though. Coupled with the 30% premium shares from Southeast Province Mining Co., Ltd, I suppose it’s time for Skyward Aluminum to change its name.” Jasper chuckled, sipping on a glass of champagne with a relaxed look in his eyes.
This wasn’t even a true battle, but man was that f*cking exciting,” Henry exclaimed to Jasper with his eyes shining brightly.
Jasper was in a great mood too. He was about to speak when he suddenly received a call from Gale.
This old man must have been watching the share market as well.
“I may not understand the share market, but I do have the country’s best traders and analyst teams. I am an old man, sly child, but your work today has me dazed just from listening to them explain it to me.”
‘Do you know how they described you? They said that your work today would be entered into a series of actual analysis cases taught in countless Schools of Economics. You have shown textbook control of the stock market. Very well done. Good job!”
