The most sensitive one to the formation o f the storm was Quantum Fund, which
stood on the opposite side of JW
Foundation.
“Something’s wrong!”
Rogers, who had fought against Jasper too many times, suddenly yelled. He frightened Soros, who was busy discussing strategy with the team leader.
“Damn it, Rogers, you know I have high blood pressure and heart disease. Do you want to kill me?”
Since the beginning of the battle had gone smoothly, Soros was in a pretty good mood, save for being startled just now.
Hence, his tone was not particularly harsh.
Rogers walked quickly to Soros, bowed his
head, and did something on the computer. He said, “Look!
JW Foundation has started to withdraw their funds. Furthermore, with the lifting of offshore funding restrictions, a large number of funds from Harbor City are now flowing into the subprime market.”
While speaking, Rogers opened the subprime loan market and pointed at the shocking declining trendline on it, and said, “I was wondering why Jasper was not increasing the amount but instead withdrawing his funds. Do you understand why now?”
Soros’ eyes widened. At this moment, he felt a cold chill run through his body. This coldness made goosebumps form all over his body.
“That lunatic! That lunatic is going to short the entire United States subprime loan market!”
Seeing that Soros was finally reacting, Rogers said through gritted teeth, “Yes, Jasper didn’t plan to fight us in the stock market from the beginning. He allowed us to eat away at his funds in the stock market and instead used his remaining strength to invest in the subprime market.”
As he said that, Rogers lowered his voice. His blue eyes stared at ros with panic, and he continued coldly, “You know how many people in the United States are
burdened with loans. Once this market collapses, we will be buried next to those people along with half of Wall Street.”
Soros’ pupils instantly shrank to the size o
f a pinhead.
The huge shock and fear that was taking
over his body caused him to tremble.
At this moment, he only felt a pain in his
chest, and he could not even breathe.
Soros supported himself with one hand o In the computer desk while his other hand clutched his chest. He closed his eyes tightly and heard Rogers’ anxious voice.
“Soros, what’s the matter with you? Open your eyes and look at me. You must not collapse at this time!”
Soros opened his eyes with great
difficulty. He gritted his teeth and said, ” This small thing can’t take me down.”
In just over ten seconds, this all-powerful business tycoon had found a way to deal with this.
“Almost all of the investment banks and capital companies in Wall Street have
participated in subprime market
transactions, of which Layman Investment Bank has the largest share. I must consult with them immediately on this matter.
“I’ll leave this to you, Rogers.”
Rogers frowned and asked, “What do you need me to do?”
Soros snapped fiercely, “Stop Jasper in the securities market. Stop him from continuing to reallocate funds. In addition, split off 60% of our funds and invest them in the subprime market. Stabilize the market first, don’t let it collapse.”
