At that moment, fierce competition began among the people who were watching the rise and fall of the internet sector in Harbor Stocks. A large number of funds were entering the market every second.
Bearish people wanted to knock down the stock prices, bringing down with them all of Harbor Stocks and its Hansel Index. Meanwhile, bullish people continued to defend their territory and refused to let the prices drop so easily.
A war without the use of gunpowder continued to spread.
At that moment, in a quiet villa within Harbor City, the clicking of keyboards continued to sound out.
Kennedy stared at the display screen solemnly and kept firing orders.
A short distance away, Rogers sat idly as he sipped red wine.
“We’ve accumulated enough bargaining chips, Mr. Rogers,” Kennedy turned to tell Rogers.
Rogers put the glass of red wine down and looked at the screen, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he spoke, “News of Weresoft in the United States should’ve arrived at Harbor City by now, yes?”
Kennedy replied, “People more well-informed should already know by now. Quite the amount of funds have begun to enter the market.”
“Good!”
Rogers rolled his shoulders and walked over to the door. “I’ll tell the people at Wall Street to start moving. There’ll be an exciting battle there in no time, and I’m sure Harbor Stocks will immediately make their move as well.”
“Solo, that old man, didn’t manage to defeat Harbor City’s economy three years ago, but this time, I’m going to make sure Harbor City’s economy loses the past five years of their development!”
Bob spat at him sullenly as he watched Rogers leave to contact his Quantum Fund Group. “These white people from the United States are just coming here to dig up the graves of Harbor City’s ancestors. And here we are, handing them the shovels.”
Kennedy glanced at Bob plainly and spoke, “Ancestors don’t exist in the capital market, but if you mind, you’re free to leave.”
Bob smiled embarrassedly. “I don’t care if they live or die. The more they lose, the happier I become. After all, that’s how we profit.”
Five minutes later, Barron’s, the dominating financial magazine, had published an emergency report in the United States.
