“Haha,” Winston chuckled and spoke, “While we are friends, I still have to be responsible for my funds.
“I can tell that there’s something wrong with Sena’s share price–it’s almost as if you’re fighting an invisible opponent. But your conflict has caused the share’s risk to increase several fold, so I have to make a decision.”
Jasper replied sincerely, “I understand what you mean. I am immensely grateful for the fact that you’re calling to inform me first before you make your move.”
“We’re friends, after all,” Winston’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Benett Funds will make an official statement tomorrow. This is the most I can do for you. I hope you make the necessary preparations.”
As she listened to the conversation between the two, Celine could not help but feel surprised by how great Winston’s and Jasper’s friendship was. Yet, at the same time, she felt that it was a shame how Winston prioritized his identity of a businessman. He had a clear distinguishment between his business and private life; People like him would never risk their own interests due to personal relationships.
If he did this, the man would not be the stock god people regarded so highly.
Nor would so many people trust him and be willing to place their money into his funds.
Just as Celine felt like Jasper was caught between a rock and a hard place, the man arched his brow and spoke to Winston, “How about we make a trade, Mr. Benett?”
“Oh? What trade? I’d love to work with you.”
“There’s no need to publish a statement, nor do you have to wait until tomorrow. I can purchase all of Sena’s shares that you currently hold.
“To be frank with you, someone is trying to cause Sena’s share price to crash. But the market has its own defense mechanisms, and while Sena’s share prices will definitely drop, someone will also come bargain hunting once it reaches a certain price.
“There’ll be many people like that. Some people will make huge losses while others might make a hefty profit. A sizeable profit can only be made through high-risk trades like these.
“And the last thing this world lacks is someone willing to risk their lives to make a dollar.
“All my opponent can do with what the number of shares he currently holds is light the fuse. He still needs major funds or organizations like yours to recognize that the risk and act accordingly in order to topple Sena. When that happens, the other organizations will surely follow.
“When it comes to investors, you have the best reputation, and also hold the highest percentage of Sena’s shares.
“Your lack of activity will easily increase the confidence of these risk-taking investors. These people will then become my main pillar as I attempt to keep Sena’s share price afloat.
“I can buy all of Sena’s shares that you have on hand right now at the current market price, but my only request is that you only release a statement about this in three days’ time.”
Jasper did not hide his plan and told Winston everything.
This was because Jasper knew that Winston would be able to guess it even if Jasper did not say anything.
As expected, Winston fell silent for a long on the other end of the call.
He seemed to be pondering Jasper’s words.
Meanwhile, Jasper was in no rush either, for he believed that Winston would agree.
After all, Winston would only profit from this trade.
Not to mention, beside the zero risk factor in the deal, Jasper would also end up owing Winston immensely if he agreed.
At this moment, Jasper was completely oblivious to the fact that Celine was looking at him as if Jasper were an alien.
Just like how Jasper did not understand how Celine could be so talented and capable when it came to the stock market, Celine also did not understand how Jasper could respond so insanely fast to a crisis and immediately react appropriately.
Any normal person who heard that Winston was about to sell out his shares would have immediately gone mad.
Their first thought might be to beg Winston and plead for him not to sell the shares.
Yet, this was not realistic.
Not to mention, that by doing so, Jasper and Winston’s friendship would have ended with that phone call.
However, instead of doing this, Jasper had come up with the best solution in the blink of an eye. The idea resembled a lamp in the dark as it immediately brightened the bleak situation.
“You’re insane!”
