Life at The Top novel Chapter 1896

Jasper’s reply did not put these old,

experienced presidents at ease.

In order to the level where they were now,

they not only had to possess exceptional

intelligence but were also widely-read

critical thinkers.

Thus, they would not blindly believe what

anyone said, not even if it was Jasper.

Instead, they would put whatever they

heard through their thought framework

and try to locate any problems that might

exist.

Soon, someone spotted a problem.

Mr. Reagan from HW Group said, “But in

terms of strength, when you put it on

paper, our side would be the one that

collapses first.”

Mr. Reagan gave Jasper an apologetic look

after he said that.

Jasper smiled and gave him an understanding wave.

He had just been stating the facts and was not trying to pick a fight with Jasper.

“In truth, even if Mr. Reagan had not brought this matter up, I would have discussed it as well. After all, I’m sure that this is something everyone is worried about, and it is a perfectly valid and important problem.”

Many nodded their heads in agreement when Jasper finished speaking.

“That’s right. On paper, we’re no match for the United States in terms financial capital. However, that in and of itself is problematic.”

Jasper raised a finger and said with conviction, “Both the Somerland officials and the United States officials have not made the necessary preparations for our countries to engage in an economic war. Thus, at the end of the day, this is something that’s between private capital and companies.”

That was a given.

If the United States decided they wanted to engage in this economic war against Somerland, Jasper would not waste his time talking.

There was no point in fighting a war they had no chance of winning.

Moreover, based on current international situations, the United States would not. engage in an economic war against Somerland that would ultimately also pit the countries against each other.

It was not a problem of whether they would win or not, but rather, it was because it would lead to a complex international situation that affected many other bodies once it started.

The smaller scope made Jasper feel that this matter could still be kept under control.

“Capitalists only have one attribute, and that is they are profit-oriented. Once the capitalists realize their potential losses will be much larger than their earnings, they’ll flee. This is something that no one can stop.

Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “If you look at Wall Street, you’ll see

that there are more than 300 companies o n Wall Street alone. However, the question is, how many of those companies are actual brick-and-mortar companies? The answer is zero.

“Wall Street uses capitalist methods to control the real economy into making money for them. It is their greatest advantage, but also their biggest weakness.

“As for what I have to do, I have to cause the Wall Street capitalists to suffer major losses. They’ll flee once their losses cross a certain threshold. You can make high earnings quickly by using capitalist methods, but you lose that money even quicker. Thankfully, JW Foundation has. already completed half of that work, and only the other half remains. That is what I will continue to work on.

“In summary, as long as our country manages to tough it out make it through the hardest stage at the start, victory is not impossible.”

Many people heaved sighs of relief when they heard what Jasper said, and they felt their racing hearts calm down slightly.

After all this, the economic forum was

drawing to an end.

The result and purpose Jasper had been after had also been achieved.

At least all the entrepreneurs who attended the forum had reached a consensus Everyone now knew that at this point, they should not be holding personal gains or losses against each other now. If they lost this game, everyone would be done for, and things would not look pretty for them.

If they wanted to remain in this game and continue earning money to maintain a high social standing in the country, they would have to grit their teeth and tough it out.

Without considering anything else, at the very least, these entrepreneurs were all feeling the most interconnected they had ever felt.

Of course, even though the formalities had been taken care of, they still needed t o discuss plenty of details.

It would require Jasper and other people

who were at least in charge of leading

companies within the industry to conduct

private discussions. It was a time

consuming and troublesome matter, but

with Jasper’s prestige and the

government’s backup, it was just a matter
