“There’re two things we have to do now.”
“First, get in touch with all the connections you have in the United States, find out the how serious the aftermath of this incident is.”
“Second, I’ll ask my men to place a stop-loss order to limit our losses as much as possible.”
Fabian was slightly parched by the time he stopped talking. He had just set aside his nervousness and anger, but now they suddenly returned with a vengeance. “All of our funds were invested in the hedged orders that ran against Jasper. It was natural for the stock market index to fall since something big just happened there.”
“What we can do now is to sell it off, and sell as much as we can. We can’t afford to lose that much money.”
Morrison’s face took on a ghastly expression when he recalled the disastrous amount of funds he had invested in the stock market.
“I made calls, but I either couldn’t get through, or they didn’t know the answer.”
“But I can confirm that the President of the United States is already aware of the incident.”
“The United States is on high alert, the ruilitary forces deployed three fleets of fully loaded aircraft carrier while six fleets of combat aircraft are already on guard. One third of the entire country’s missile silo were on standby to be launched.”
Morrison, given with his high social status, shuddered with fear after he said that.
Fabian closed his eyes when he heard this, at this moment, he felt as if the whole world and his eyes fell into darkness.
“It’s open.”
Fabian opened his eyes once his trader reminded him.
Fabian’s and Morrison’s gazes fell onto the big screen at the same time.
“New York Securities Exchange, Nasdaq Securities Exchange, and the United States Securities Exchange are opening at the same time.”
“When the three largest stock exchanges opened at the same time, thousands of stocks began falling sharply at the same time!”
