Life at The Top novel Chapter 1840

Indeed, Jasper had considered

withdrawing funds from the United States

capital market.

As for why, he did not explain.

It was not that he did not understand that

when there were many people, there

would be many differing opinions, as well

as the chance of side issues arising. More

importantly, he needed to reach a tacit

agreement with Swallow Capital for such a

n important decision.

However, at least for now, Jasper’s

opinion was that he must not divest.

If the capital was withdrawn, the

destruction of the United States financial

turmoil that was personally set off by JW

Foundation would decrease too much.

Aside from the previously lost funds,

Jasper’s subsequent plan of searching for

shares in the United States domestic high

tech heavy industry and companies would

also have to be aborted.

This was obviously what the United States government would like to see most.

You could regard the United States’

actions against Somerland’s financial market as a fight against them. They were eager for Jasper to divest and come back t o consolidate the domestic financial market.

Naturally, Jasper absolutely would not do something that the enemy wanted.

This meeting, which was not planned to g o on for long, was forcibly interrupted by a phone call to Jasper.

“Swallow Capital is contacting me. Everyone, the meeting will stop here for the time being. I have already said everything that needs to be said, anyway.”

Jasper stood up and said seriously, “No matter what, I sincerely hope that everyone will be united to overcome the national crisis.”

It was unknown if they were influenced by Jasper’s aura, but everyone in the meeting suddenly felt emotional.

After this meeting, Jasper answered the

phone. About half an hour later, he met

Tony in his office.

However, this time Tony came as a guest.

He accompanied a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing. He looked like he was in his early fifties, and from his gestures, one could tell that he had held a n eminent status for a long time, to the point where it could not be concealed.

“Jasper, this is Mr. Mason, and he will be chiefly responsible for the response to Wall Street capital’s attack on the mainland financial market this time. You can directly discuss anything with Mr. Mason.”

After hearing Tony’s words, Jasper immediately understood.

If they were in ancient times, Mr. Mason was probably similar to a minister or imperial envoy who would go on patrols and tours on behalf of the emperor.

If Jasper had been more concerned about politics, he would know that the Mr. Mason in front of him was the vice

president in charge of national financial affairs when he was reincarnated.

It was a pity that Jasper remembered the highest authorities, but never the deputies.

However, this did not prevent Jasper from being polite to Mr. Mason at this moment. “Mr. Mason, please sit down.”

Jasper personally led Mr. Mason and Tony into the office to sit down.

The huge conference was to decide on the trivial matters while the small conference was used to decide on the huge matters. O n the other hand, everyone needed to attend the huge conference, while only a few people were needed to participate in the small conference.

This sentence clearly explained the true essence of both of Jasper’s meetings.

immediately replied, “No.”

As soon as he said this, Tony’s face turned dark. He felt his blood turning cold from his head to his toes, and could not help but angrily say, “Jasper, what is this attitude? We need you to help with this, yet you’re giving all sorts of excuses.”

Jasper looked directly at Tony and replied, “Mr. Pratt, I’m not shirking the responsibility, nor am I unwilling to contribute. How much is the total market value of our A-share market now?

“4.3 trillion.”

“And Wall Street is taking out 780 billion

this time. Sure, I can defend against them.

If you give me half of the country’s foreign exchange reserves, not only can I prevent this attack from Wall Street, but I can also directly crush the US Dollars! international debts.

“However, what will happen as a result of

this? World War Three.

“Do you think you can make this decision t

o start a war with the United States? Do

you think I can?”

When Jasper said that, it was not just

Tony’s face that turned from dark to pale

with fright, even Mr. Mason appeared to

become more serious.

“Jasper, you’re speaking too seriously,” M r. Mason said in a deep voice.

“Mr. Mason, I may be young and inexperienced, so I might not know the severity of this, but the way I see it, if Swallow Capital does not have the courage and determination to burn their boats, it will be impossible to resist this wave of attacks.”

“But you just said that if they burn their

boat, we will face the risk of war with the

United States.” Mr. Mason frowned.

“This is a question of scale. We want to bully them, but not bully them intolerably. If we want to defeat Wall Street, but not completely destroy them, w e must leave this difficult decision to the United States government rather than take it on ourselves.”
