He did not aim to overtake the countries from the West, but he also did not want to be taken for as a fool. The last thing he wanted was to get tricked or driven off by other countries.
However, things were never this simple.
On an international scale, the technical blockade of Somerland and its businessmen was extremely serious.
If one was from Somerland, one could only dream of getting their hands on the best technology. They could only get their hands on things like the MP3, which none of the technology conglomerates took seriously, easily. This was evident from Sentel’s careless attitude toward them previously.
Just as he was thinking about this issue, the car arrived at the company.
The company had already moved into the Southface River Tower. As it was around eleven o’clock at night, most of the lights in the building were off. The corridors were quiet as well, and the entire building seemed desolate.
Jasper took the elevator to the top floor. After entering his office, Jasper asked Julian to buy some supper. After that, he sat in front of his computer with Celine and opened the interface of the US Nasdaq index.
Sena’s share price was 225 US dollars right now. It was an extremely high price.
However, Jasper frowned when he set his eyes on the share price.
Sometimes, a high share price did was not a good thing. If it was abnormally high, it indicated that someone was speculating about the share. It was fine if they just wanted to offload their shares and earn a large sum of money, however, things would be different if they had ulterior motives.
Li Jin opened the trend chart and transaction data from the past week. He then stared at the complicated data on the computer screen and fell into contemplation.
As the president of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments, Celine knew the financial share market well. After looking at the data for a while, she could tell that the overall direction of the index seemed normal. However, there were a few subtle points that most people would fail to notice.
Just as she was about to turn around and tell Jasper about it, she caught sight of Jasper’s side profile. His brows were pinched into a slight frown while his gaze was fixed on the computer screen.
He was pondering something.
Right then, Celine had the urge to pounce on him and take him as hers as she stared at the conscientious expression on his side profile.
In Celine’s eyes, a man’s charm was definitely not found in his facial features.
Celine would not even bat an eye at the handsome young men out there. Furthermore, the youth were now ushering in a non-mainstream trend where men liked to grow out their hair and surround themselves with a melancholic aura. Celine was amused by this trend.
It made them look neither manly nor feminine. It was simply a deformed aesthetic.
In Celine’s opinion, men had to have their own characteristic aura. It could be the residual scent of washing powder on clothes, or it could be the elegant scent of a cologne, but most importantly, they had to emanate self-confidence, maturity, and power!
A man should have a spine that was strong enough to support a woman. A man should have arms and shoulders that were capable of blocking all wind and rain for a woman.
“There’s a problem.”
Jasper was oblivious to the intense thoughts running through Celine’s mind at that moment. After saying these three words, he immediately called Jack Tanner.
He did not even spare a glance at Celine.
Keen as he was, Jasper had detected something unusual in the index. The potential ploys raised by these unusual signs could give rise to very serious consequences!
Therefore, he did not have time to discuss or mull it over. He instantly woke Jack up from his deep slumber with a phone call.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Laine?”
Far away in Swallow Capital, Jack turned on the bedside lamp in his dark bedroom. He put on his glasses and asked Jasper over the phone.
“Haven’t you noticed that the trend of Sena’s share price is moving in an abnormal direction? We’re a listed company, so your vigilance really disappoints me!
“If any of our enemies want to go against Sena right now, they would start with the Nasdaq!
“They’re already pointing their guns at our doorstep, but you’re all still sleeping?”
