Life at The Top novel Chapter 1864

After hearing what Half-the-Harbor

Langdon said, Kayden’s first reaction was

to deem it impossible.

He said, “Dad, aside from the fact that the

property rights in the mainland are the

result of so many years of our hard work,

those are high-quality assets that can rise

sharply in the future. Jasper will not agree

because of his relationship with us.

“It is possible that he, more than anyone

else, wants us to go bankrupt now the

most. Can we even approach him?”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon seemed to

expect Kayden to think that way. He said,

“He will agree.

“Jasper’s roots are in the mainland. Even

though his relationship with the United

States and his actions in the United States

financial market has greatly improved his

status in the mainland, everything in this

world has two sides.

“He was favored by the mainland, but the

price of this was the permanent hostility o

f the United States and the vigilance of

other Western countries toward him. “So his base can only be in the country. For him, these assets are precisely the best nutrients that can help him spend countless hours deploying to various cities on the mainland.

“As for the other problem you mentioned,

it’s not even a problem.

“Do you not think that Jasper is like me?”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon’s words stunned Kayden such that he could hardly react in time.

“Jasper is a businessman through and through. When he does anything, he considers the advantages and then weighs it against the disadvantages. When the benefits are greater than the costs, he will do it. As for other personal feelings, it is not the most important thing to him.”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon leaned back on the chair and said in a very complicated tone, “Actually, I often think that if you possessed half of what Jasper had, we would not be where we are today.

“Go. Talk to him.”

Kayden gritted his teeth and said, “Dad,

are we really going to beg him?”

“Beg?”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon snorted coldly.

He said, “If it works to beg him, even I

could do it, but what’s the use of just

begging him? At the end of the day, it’s

just an exchange of benefits. Are you

unable to let go of your pride, or do you

have other concerns?”

Kayden snapped, “Dad, I think the crux of

the problem is that even if Jasper agreed t

o release Layman’s position and Layman i

s temporarily released from the subprime

market crisis, those damn banks provided

junk credit loans to countless people in

the United States. Once they go bankrupt,

we will be pulled back into this.”

“We have to solve our problems step by

step, so you can’t rush this. Now what lies

ahead is that if the crisis of the subprime

market is not resolved, then there will be n

o future for us at all.”

Facing Kayden, who was looking for all

kinds of excuses, Half-the-Harbor

Langdon finally could not hold back the Langdon finally ot hold back the

anger in his heart. He, who had always been gentle and cultivated, rarely lost his temper.

“We acquired Layman Investment Bank for less than half a month before Layman went bankrupt. Do you want us to become the laughing stock of the world? Or do you want me to talk to Jasper in person?”

Kayden opened his mouth as he looked at his furious father, but eventually, he did not say anything. After that, he sighed dejectedly and replied, “Okay, I’ll go talk t o him.”

At this moment, in Nauritus City in Somerland.

Jasper was holding a cup of strong tea. Then, he looked disapprovingly at Jake’s fragrant coffee.

Jake suddenly gasped, interrupting

Jasper’s thoughts.

Then, they saw a large amount of funds

begin to uncharacteristically enter the

subprime market. After this, they

deliberately liquidated more than a dozen

credit products in a targeted manner.

“Bring me the information on these credit

products.”

By the time he gave his order, Jake was

already prepared with what he needed.

After reading the information, the two

raised their heads and said in unison, ”

Layman!”

Yes, the largest customers of these

multiple credit products all pointed to one

company, Layman Investment Bank.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a video

call request was sent to the Jasper

computer.

Jasper was amused when he saw the

person’s name.

“You should leave first,” Jasper said.

Jake nodded. As he was about to leave, he

asked, “So, what are we going to do with the changes in the subprime market?”

“Don’t worry, he’s just sending us a signal. The focus is still on this coming conversation,” Jasper said.

After Jake left, Jasper sat down and

answered the video call.

After the computer screen flickered for a while, Kayden’s handsome face appeared.

Jasper was the first to speak. He said with a grin, “Mr. Langdon is glowing with health and vigor. The bruises of the injuries you suffered some time ago are all gone. Presumably, medical treatment offered in the United States is much better than that in Somerland. I can’t see the embarrassment you suffered when you were beaten at that time.”

This opening line enraged Kayden so much that he almost passed away on the spot.
