Of course, it was impossible to buy 10 billion US Dollars in a single account. Not to mention the 5% placard rule, meaning that once an account with such a large transaction was frozen, it would be over for them. Hence, Jasper’s account was not actually a personal account that directly manipulated the United States stock market, but a parent account that was realized
through technical means.
There were hundreds of sub-accounts associated with this parent account.
Jasper’s operations were synchronized to the sub-accounts of the two trading centers of Nauritus City and Waterhood City. After this, the traders who had received professional training would execute Jasper’s wishes and commands as soon as possible.
The reason why he did not bring the Harbor City trading center into the game this time was because of Kayden. This was also the reason why Jasper and Kayden were on call separately.
If he did not take care of this young master from the J. Langdons, Jasper would not be comfortable letting him participate in the plan behind the scenes.
Kayden watched Jasper’s funds enter the market. A moment later, ExxonMobil’s stock seemed to be doused with hot oil and then set on fire.
The stock price soared.
It really soared.
10 billion US Dollars of funds were enough to sweep all of ExxonMobil sell orders.
“Jasper, since you’re doing this, does it mean that you’re abandoning the Harbor City trading center?” Kayden questioned angrily.
Jasper shook his head and said, “Mr. Langdon, calm down. You and I both understand why I didn’t notify you in advance.”
Kayden looked at Jasper, his eyes seemed to pass through the fiber optic network spanning tens of thousands of kilometers to reach Jasper’s heart.
After a moment of contemplation, Kayden said in a deep voice, “I can’t go against my father’s will. We have invested billions into this cooperation. This money is different from the concept of money in the stock market.”
Jasper replied, “I understand that the funds in the stock market are a form of crowdfunding, and there is a magnification effect which means that the money you invested in that cooperation case is worth a lot.”
“So please understand. My wealth and life all depend on this. For the sake of my own life, I cannot allow any unexpected factors to exist. Mr. Langdon, your position is too important.”
Jasper’s words caused Kayden to let out a long sigh.
“Jasper, I really don’t want things come to this with you unless it’s the last resort.”
Jasper replied, “Mr. Langdon, you have to understand that the reason why ExxonMobil is the way it is now is because it inherited Rockefeller’s core assets. The latter had 34 subsidiaries that have been split up. Excluding the ones that died out, the remaining 20 plus subsidiaries are all separated in name, but in fact, they still belong to Rockefeller!”
“What do you think will happen if the J. Langdons work with them?”
Jasper’s words caused Kayden to wear a conflicted expression.
“You mean that the cooperation with ExxonMobil is actually a trap?”
Jasper replied indifferently, “Is it important whether or not it is a trap? This is not the case in business. How many non zero sum, win-win games are there out there? Either you borrow my power and I want your money, or we both want all of it.”
Kayden lifted his eyebrow.
He subconsciously did not want to believe what Jasper said. After all, Jasper now wanted him to choose between the cooperation with ExxonMobil and the cooperation with JW Foundation. At this point, any words Jasper said were prejudiced and biased.
