Rogers’ words caused Soros’s expression to turn stiff. “If you want, you can submit it.”
Rogers stood up suddenly and said grimly, “Why? I’ve done so much for Quantum Fund throughout all these years, yet I have to get lost because Layman Investment Bank doesn’t like me?”
“Rogers, you must know that Layman is our largest shareholder. Even if I support you, if they hold a general meeting of shareholders, they can even replace me. Do you understand?”
Soros grabbed Rogers by the collar and pulled him to the window. Then, he pointed to the busy trading floor in front of him and shouted, “Look at this team. This is the most elite team we have built by ourselves, but how’s your recent performance been?”
“You only showed us one thing. Disappointment!”
“In the United States, on Wall Street, and in front of the capital, we only look at the results, not the process. The United States stock market has been dragged to a trading curb and someone needs to pay for it. The current situation is the result of me working my *ss off for you.”
Rogers pushed Soros away and snapped with a cold chuckle, “Even if it’s you, would you do better than me?”
“Before that, no one knew that Jasper was able to do this, and it was you who looked down on Jasper from the beginning thinking that he was just an ant that could be trampled to death at any time. After so many days, hot money from all over the world has found hope of defeating Wall Street within Jasper.”
“Although his actual power has not increased, his influence has greatly multiplied. It will not be easy to destroy him now.”
Soros sneered, “So what? You don’t understand how determined Wall Street is this time. Jasper Laine must die.”
Rogers had a dumb look on his face and said, “I hope I can watch at one side later.”
“Sure, then let’s go down together.” Soros nodded. “Let’s go, the market will open in a few minutes.”
“It’s opened.”
As the red and green numbers flowed on the large wall-filled screen of the trading hall at the same time, Jasper looked up and saw the real-time market data of the Dow Jones Index.
At the same time, anxious alarms could be heard from various locations within the team.
“The major positions are in a state of emergency and the Dow Jones Index is soaring. It seems that every stock has a huge amount of money flowing in to go long.”
This was the first time Jake had seen such a huge flow of funds in his life. He raised his head to look at Jasper and shouted, “Mr. Laine, the current Dow Jones Index capital inflow has reached 200 billion US Dollars, and most of them have entered the stocks we are shorting.”
“I am under a lot of pressure here, and I need funds to replenish it.”
For Baz, an offense that terrified Jake was no different from the earth getting destroyed.
In the air-conditioned trading hall where the temperature was kept at a constant, Baz’s forehead was drenched with sweat. Half of the dozen or so trading accounts he was in charge of had reached the warning line of liquidation only three minutes after opening.
Jasper came over and looked at the account controlled by Baz. The attack on his side was particularly fierce. “How amazing. It’s 200 billion in one shot. They are not attempting to be gaudy with us but rather, they are trying to kill us all at one go,” Jasper said.
“Mr. Laine, what should I do? If we don’t have funds to replenish it, we will be fully liquidated.”
Baz’s face almost turned pale.
Once they were liquidated, it would result in a huge loss. He would lose up to at least tens of billions of Somer Dollars on the accounts he was responsible for. He could not even imagine the terrifying consequences of this.
“We can’t replenish it.”
