Life at The Top novel Chapter 141

”Are you really someone who became rich via stocks? I heard from my dad that you previously earned a ton from crude oil futures,” asked Anna.

“I guess so.” Jasper thought back at his entire process of becoming a successful person. He shook his head and said with a smile, “Actually, I’m not paying much attention to the current stock market, unless I think it has a huge potential, or else, I’ll just carry out a few trades. There’s not much meaning to it.”

“Previously, you said that there will be a huge change in the price of Harbor City’s stocks. Is it going to happen soon?!” Anna asked earnestly.

Jasper nodded his head. Then, he saw the trading center that they were fast approaching. He said, “Indeed, it’s going to happen soon. It’s just that I wonder how many people are going to go bankrupt during this wave.”

At the securities exchange center of Harbor City. Earlier when computers were not widely available, ordinary stock exchanges were done via phone calls to the professionals at the stocks exchange center, and the professionals would follow the investors’ guidelines to conduct the purchasing and selling procedures.

Some would personally come forth to the exchange center. They would look at the large monitor while having a conversation with other stock investors. It would be a lively scene.

Currently, following the fact that every household in Harbor City had their own computers, everyone would operate themselves. Hence, the number of people lingering at the stock exchange center had declined drastically.

However, that was just one side of the story. After all, there were still many people who loved to come here to have a conversation with other stock investors.

The moment Jasper and the other two arrived at the exchange center, not long after the start of operational hours, it became peak hour.

With the presence of the Law siblings, Jasper would not need to queue up. With the manager’s service, who nodded and bowed throughout the entire process, they opened new accounts at the fastest speed.

Under the arrangement of the manager, Jasper and the other two had arrived at a VIP room.

Aside from having a sofa in the resting area, there was also a large screen that displayed the condition of any stocks at any time.

Jasper observed the listed internet-based corporations in the stock market and noticed the markets were all hyped up. Most of the money was flowing to this sector.

“I heard from my friends who do stocks trading that buying shares of internet-based corporations is a business that will definitely earn and will not suffer any loss,” said Henry from the side.

Jasper laughed and said instead, “Even you think that way as well?”

Henry was stunned and said, “Even though I’m not familiar with stocks, I believe everyone can earn some money from here. I guess that pretty much sums it up?”
