The party lasted for three and a half hours. In the end, the guests and host were all happy and they went back to their respective accommodations.
Since the United States stock market was about to open, when the party came to an end, no one stayed behind. They all went back to pay attention to the development of the matter. When they left, everyone looked solemn and cautious. They knew that with the opening of the United States stock market, a capital war between the East and the West, which was destined to be written down in the history of modern human economics, was about to unfold.
After the party, Jasper rushed to Southface River Tower alongside Henry.
On the top of the floor, although Henry had previously heard Jasper talking about the new layout, when he saw the huge LED surround screen occupying three walls and enclosing the entire building with his own eyes, he was shocked.
“Damn, where did you get this screen?”
For the first time ever, Henry was the country bumpkin!
“This was pieced together with 25 individual screens. The price is decent. Each screen is 390 thousand bucks, but they needed to be customized. It took more than half a month to install it.”
Jasper said while pointing to the entire lobby that was transformed into a trading center. Then, he continued, “This is our base camp for the next few days.”
“Mr. Laine, did you see the announcement just released by the Federal Reserve?” Jake, who had been preparing for a long time here, suddenly walked over and said.
“You mean that they are restricting the offshore withdrawal limit of Somerland’s capital?” Jasper said with a smile.
It was unknown how many pairs of eyes were staring at the United States right now. How could Jasper not have received the news immediately after the Federal Reserve made such a huge announcement?
Less than a few minutes after it was announced, Jasper got the news while he was still at the party.
“Yeah, will this affect us?” Jake asked.
Jasper shook his head and said, “They’re just worried that we will cash out and run away as soon as trading commences. Since we have no intention of running away, what impact will it have on us?”
“They said they’re the most popular country in the world, but they’re so petty. Are they not afraid that people will laugh at them?”
Jasper never imagined that he would spontaneously say the same thing as a cripple in Swallow Capital.
Jasper stood with his hands behind his back on the high platform at the entranceway. He was watching the busy people and new equipment on the deck below. Right now, the whole building was filled with tension and passion.
“The storm is about to begin.”
It was less than 24 hours before the United States stock market resumed trading. The global financial situation fell into a strange calmness. Even the reporters who typically liked to make groundless accusations were quiet.
