“Financial turmoil?”
Alan sounded playful.
It was as if an adult saw a child taking a
wooden stick like they were the hero.
It’s not that he was looking down on anyone, but he simply felt that this kid was so naive and viewed things in such a simple manner.
“Jasper, you can’t become a hero with just a stick. The United States has established supremacy since World War II. Apparently, nobody on this earth is powerful enough to deal with them. Not you nor Somerland. ”
Alan spoke indifferently, “If you’re here t o discuss this matter with me, I think I shall not waste any more of my time talking to you.”
“Wait a minute, Mr. Maynard.”
Jasper continued his words as he handed a
document to him, “Take a look at this.”
Alan frowned slightly but still took the document with patience.
Just a cursory glance at its contents was
enough to make Alan feel anxious to the
point that his *ss fell back down onto his
seat.
The more Alan looked at the document,
the more solemn his expression became.
The document was an analysis on the
economics of the States written by Jasper.
Alan would not have been so stirred up if i
It was simply a
all matter.
Jasper remembered that, after the outbreak of the subprime crisis in 2008, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and his team took three years t o write an economic survey report which contained the same material which he was now sharing with Alan.
The global economic community was
shocked after reading the latest economic
report which was known as a thorough
and fundamental survey of the States.
This report not only elaborated on the root cause of the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, but it also provided an evaluation of the United States, the
world’s largest country, in detail.
The new president in the States made his first state-of-the-nation address based o n the economic report.
Not to mention that the report was now being released ten years in advance, meaning it was coming out right before the supreme mortgage broke out, which i n and of itself brought about great and profound impact.
More than an hour passed.
Alan had been reading the report attentively for the past hour while Jasper patiently waited
Alan closed his eyes and did some thinking after reading the report. He then said, “Did you write this report?”
No matter how shameless Jasper was, he would not take the credit for such a thing. Thus, he said, “I came up with the idea and framework while my professional team completed the details.”
