Henry was about to ask Jasper what he had in mind when the request for a video conference rang out from the computer.
Henry had no other choice but to swallow the words he wanted to say and wait until after Jasper was done with the call.
It was a video call from Jake.
Jasper did not mind that Henry was present and answered the call immediately.
“Mr. Laine, as per your request, we’ve already begun to increase the number of our positions and funds invested. We have a total position worth 1.89 billion US Dollars, with a 5 million US Dollar increase every hour.”
“And our losses?” Jasper asked calmly.
Jake paused before replying difficultly, “We’ve lost a total of 230 million US Dollars right now. Every 1 million we invest amounts to a loss of 380 thousand US Dollars, and this loss percentage shows signs of a steady increase.”
“The entities targeting us since the beginning have increased their attacks, so most of our losses are going to them.
“Besides this, we’ve also realized that many financial organizations are starting to operate against us as well. Due to our continuous investment of funds, they seem to plan to benefit from us.
“As of this moment, we have sufficient evidence showing that most of these organizations are from Wall Street. A minority are from Europe, and there’s one from Sunrise Land.”
Jasper was unsurprised to know the involvement of Wall Street and European organizations, but he was shocked to find that an organization from Sunrise land was also among them.
However, in no time at all, Jasper could guess who it as.
Except for Softwin, which Jasper had previously had a feud against, no other organization would be willing to involve themselves in this matter while the situation had yet to be made clear.
Jasper nodded calmly and replied, “Keep it up. We need a position of 2.5 billion US Dollars before the market closes today.”
While expecting this, Jake was still shaken when he heard the amount.
Jake took a deep breath and said, “I’ll get to it immediately, Mr. Laine. But I must remind you that according to our current rate, our percentage of loss will become extremely high.”
