”Jasper, is this true?”
Zachary’s surprised tone was heard on the phone. Jasper had told Zachary about Mitch selling off his 3.5% shares of his family’s core assets a moment ago.
Jasper smiled. “Of course it’s real. I can’t do anything with these shares, but I suppose it’ll come in handy for the Law family. Therefore, I took the liberty to say yes for you. You won’t blame me right, Uncle Law?”
Zachary laughed. “Not at all, I would have to thank you first.”
The gift Jasper brought for Zachary made him rejoice internally.
The Langdon family’s core assets were not valuable to Jasper, as the costs they bore were way too troublesome. Based on the current situation, it was unrealistic for Jasper to be tempted to do anything with the Langdon family’s assets while owning just 3.5% of the shares. However, it would be different if it was in the Law family’s hand.
They were among the four richest families, while the Law family’s wealthy heritage was deeper than Langdon’s family. They ate from the same bowl, and even though it appeared that they were harmonious, they always had to remain cautious of each other.
Considering the four big families’ situation, it was almost unrealistic for them to obtain each other’s core assets.
However, Jasper gave him the chance to do just that.
“After the Law family infiltrates them, they’ll be forced to act defensively. Things will be hard for that fellow, Kennedy.” Zachary was laughing out loud.
Jasper chuckled and said, “That’s good, I’ll arrange the transfer of shares after this. I’ll personally deliver it to Uncle Law once I get it.”
Zachary was a sharp person, Jasper only briefly explained to him what happened, but be instantly recognized that things might be trickier than they first appeared.
“I’m afraid that Mitch isn’t going to give the shares away so easily.”
“Jake, please tell me how our opponents are doing now.”
Jake’s cheerful voice came out from the computer. “They’re still covering their positions, but they’re obviously running out of funds. They’re currently giving up some accounts with less valuable stocks. They are constantly being forced to liquidate before closing the positions. They’re saving their funds to protect the heavier stocks.”
“Based on our analysis and calculations, their invested funds were more than we had expected. They invested a total of 600 million US Dollars before the market closed yesterday without anyone noticing. We just found out about it.”
“It was clear that the 600 million US Dollars was used to defeat us in a one off today, but after the crashing of the Dow Jones Index, this 600 million US Dollars soon became their biggest burden.”
“Their overall trading volume was around 2.4 billion US Dollars. After amending the errors which should be no more than 200 million US Dollars, and adding in the funds that they’ve used to cover their position, their total trading volume was nearly 3 billion. Today they lost 1 billion US Dollars in total.”
Jasper shot a glance at his accounts system.
