Life at The Top novel Chapter 1853

“Mr. Laine, the collective fleeing of

institutions has caused panic to spread in

the stock market. The market is not

opened yet but the net outflow of funds in

the stock market is already at an

astronomical figure. It has reached a third

of the usual trading volume. I am afraid

this number will soar instantly when the

market opens, which is very detrimental t

o the defensive plan.”

Baz said to Jasper, looking off-colored.

Jasper was not surprised by this.

“Even husband and wife will leave each

other when there’s trouble, let alone in

the financial market.

“These institutions have their own

connections, so they can source the news

from their own channels. They will

inevitably flee in advance. You can’t force

them to stay and wait for their doom.

“In truth, this is fine. You can consider

this as retaining a portion of vitality.” After Baz heard that, he said helplessly, ” But they fled at this critical juncture regardless of the overall situation, even if they are retained, what can we expect them to do? These people will sell their souls for gain. How disgusting.”

Jasper smiled and said, “Baz, old chap, don’t judge others by your values. They just have their own stand and attitude. When we’re in this position, we can’t flee even if we want to, and we’re also unable t o flee because we gained a lot, so naturally we’ll have to bear a heavier burden.

“Even if we flee, we would still die once the overall situation collapses, but these institutions are different.

“The composition of the shares of an institution is complex. Every shareholder has their own tricks and plans. Right now they’re allowed to run, but when the time comes, as long as the institutions find a way to show the shareholders some interests and benefits, they will naturally come back.”

Pointing to the market that is about to open and entering the countdown, Jasper

said meaningfully, “The idea of a leader using people and the idea of a dealer controlling the market are roughly the same. Even if we want to protect the market now, we need to think of ourselves as the dealer of this market, while the institutions are just hot money.

“When the dealer enters the market, what they need to think about is how to use the power of hot money to expand their own strength. You can’t expect all the hot money to play games with the dealer unconditionally. If you go short, let the hot money see the possibility that the stock price is about to fall, but if you go long, you will make hot money feel the hope that this stock will inevitably rise. It i s nothing more than guiding the profit following the trend of development.

“To put it bluntly, it’s profit.

“You have to let the people see the benefits, so that they will be willing to be used by you and it’s because they can get the benefits. However, what they see right now is not a benefit but a collapse so it will only be weird if they don’t run away.

“These people’s ideological

consciousness is not high enough to make

them willing to sacrifice themselves to

benefit everyone. If you want to be famous

in the financial circle, the first thing you

need to abandon is your conscience.”

Jasper’s words obviously had a big impact

on Baz.

Looking at Baz’s thoughtful and confused

expression, Jasper let out a sigh of relief.

He did not plan to give him more

explanations.

Baz was intelligent and talented, but he

lacked Jake’s cruelty and savageness. In

the financial market, letting one’s

emotions affect one’s decisions would get

them into big trouble.

He hoped Baz could figure it out.

It would be the best if he could, then he
