Life at The Top novel Chapter 1549

“From Jasper’s perspective, no matter how many cards JW Foundation had, they would eventually be defeated in the face of Wall Street’s power. If he wants to win, or perhaps, to delay for as long as possible. Then, there is only one way, and that is to muddy the water as much as possible. With this goal in mind, who is the best person to drag into the game? Us.”

Echo was speaking more fluently, and his train of thought became smoother. He said loudly, “For Jasper, if JW Foundation will be dead sooner or later, then they might as well pull us down before they die. When he is finished, what will happen between us and Wall Street Capital? How can we coexist peacefully?”

“After all, it’s fine if you don’t join in this battle. Once you join, if you eventually stand on the victorious side, you will inevitably need to divide the spoils. That‘s when the conflict between us and Western capital will break out.”

Echo’s words made every executive in the conference room frown.

“This is not right.”

Someone shook their head.

“This does not benefit Jasper at all.”

Echo replied, “This is only the most probable possibility. The basis for this conclusion is that Jasper is bound to fail. But what if Jasper‘s purpose is to mess up the situation, then use any other means to hit us and Wall Street hard?”

Everyone looked at each other after Echo said that. Myles also frowned. He said, “Mr. Welch, what proof do you have?”

Echo shook his head and said, “I have none.”

He opened his hand and said, “After all, what we are doing now is coming up with unfounded guesses, right?”

Myles asked, “So, according to what you said, what should the company do now?”

Echo said decisively, “Use the cruelest means in the shortest possible time to make Jasper understand that he will be the first one to be engulfed in flames after he diverts the fire toward Softwin.”

“What about your previous guess?” Someone asked.

Echo smiled and said, “Regardless of if it’s true or not, we have to do this.

“The Eastern Empire does not allow any form of provocation, and Softwin can’t simply swallow its anger in the face of such malicious attacks. Our citizens will be the first to accuse us of our incompetence.”

“What’s more, if we don’t do anything, the Nikkei and the Sunrise Land stock market will plummet, and no one can bear the fall.”

The executives in the room fell silent.

After a long time, Myles said to Echo, “Okay Mr. Welch, thank you for your opinion. Please leave now.”

Echo nodded. He then turned around and left the meeting. He was not disappointed, because he understood very well that in the highly hierarchical workplace of Sunrise Land, no matter how good his performance today was, he could not attend such a high-level meeting. Being able to speak here was already regarded as exceptional mercy from Myles’ side.

After Echo left, Myles slowly said, “Before the meeting started, I had already spoken with Mr. Soros from Quantum Fund…”

Fifteen minutes later, this meeting about the future of Softwin ended. Not long after returning to his office, Echo received a new appointment letter. “Interim Commander of the Financial Department of Softwin Investments.”

Echo was so excited that he was shaking.

He knew he did not do anything in vain. As soon as he got this appointment, he contacted Fabian.

“You are right. After I told them what you told me, I managed to persuade the executives. Now, Softwin is about to make a move.”

“Yes, I am solely responsible.”

“From now on, I will have control of hundreds of billions of US Dollars, and this money will be used to pressure Jasper.”
