At then same time that Jake and Baz began the press conference, as the real manipulator behind all this, Jasper was sitting comfortably in a hotel in Finland opening the United States stock market index on his computer.
The United States stock market was now in turmoil.
JW Foundation’s impact had not yet been ironed out. Ordinary investors could not access the news from the higher-ups, so they could only make random guesses based on their own experience and some gossip from the exchange to make judgments about the future situation.
“In this case, everyone is easily frightened due to their past experiences but everyone also understands that huge opportunities are hidden behind the risks. There will be a process of self-healing when the market undergoes major changes. If you can bet on the right direction, the returns will be much higher than normal.”
Kayden’s relaxed voice came from the computer.
On the video, Kayden was wearing a casual sweater. His gold rimmed glasses gave him an elegant and easy going appearance. At the moment, he was sitting in the study as he connected with Jasper.
“I heard that your family negotiated a one billion euro partnership in the United Kingdom.” Jasper glanced at Kayden and asked.
Kayden smiled and said, “That’s just my father’s intentions. I don’t know much about that business.”
“Your father, as the highly skilled businessman, naturally has the vision and methods, but what sparked my curiosity is that the second largest shareholder of the telecommunications company that your father bought in the United Kingdom is the United States telecommunications giant, Comcast.”
“In the last action plan, you insisted that the Harbor City trading center independently attacked the shares of Comcast. Is there any connection between the two?”
Jasper’s relatively relaxed tone made Kayden smile bitterly. He said, “Before that, my father did give me some advice, but I weighed the situation at the time and recognized that the actions against Comcast did not go against our overall interests.”
“Mr. Langdon, you misunderstood me.”
Jasper laughed and said, “I didn’t mean to criticize you. Besides, in the earliest days, we did have an agreement that each trading center would have a certain degree of autonomy.”
“I know that your father has two major strategic plans. He believes that business in any industry is not as secure as the basic industries of human social activities, such as telecommunications and energy, which are two major strategic plans that your father is optimistic about. Now the result of the telecommunications strategy is evident, should he follow up with the energy plan too?
“I wonder how your father and ExxonMobil’s plan to develop the oil field in South America is going.”
Jasper’s words made Kayden narrow his eyes slightly. He did not know how Jasper knew about the J. Langdon’s highest level secret. Although Jasper was also from Somerland, he had nothing to do with the J. Langdons.
How could he know the secret that the father and son only talked about in the study late at night?
Jasper saw Kayden’s expression and he smiled meaningfully and slyly.
That old fox Half the Harbor Langdon was a national idol. According to the timeline of the praise he got in the country, he was the idol of every citizen, a business genius, and the pride of Somerland before 2015.
However, after 2015, the domestic real estate industry was fully regulated, and Half the Harbor Langdon began to divest and leave. He hoarded a series of land without development and developed properties without regard for the local economic development. After this, his selfish profit making actions were exposed.
With that, Half the Harbor Langdon became a traitor in the eyes of some people.
