“Earlier this year, he made his first pot of gold in the futures market in Mainland. Then, he made a lot of money in the international crude oil market. I didn’t expect the mysterious retail investor that Quantum Fund contacted last time to be him as well.”
When Kennedy and Bob heard that, they were surprised.
“I guess we underestimated him last time!” Kennedy said profoundly.
“You guys got information on Jasper in such a short time?” Bob narrowed his eyes and said while suppressing the shock in his heart.
Rogers shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You have to believe in the ability of Quantum Fund. We have clients and information all over the world. As long as you can pay, I can even tell you what color underwear the top man of the United States is wearing right now.”
“I have to go to Law Manor in the afternoon. On one hand, I’m going to watch their every move, and on the other hand, I need to be prepared at any time. So, over here…” Kennedy looked at Rogers.
“You don’t have to worry,” Rogers said flatly, “My people from Quantum Fund will take over from now.”
Bob was not happy that he had been pushed aside. He asked quickly, “What about me?”
“You can watch from one side.”
Kennedy sighed and made eyes at Bob secretly.
Even though he was disappointed in Bob, Kennedy could not kick him away now.
The collaboration with Quantum Fund was fine for now, but Kennedy knew more than anyone that Quantum Fund was a coyote that would swallow a person whole.
He needed to go to Law Manor, so no one would be keeping an eye on Quantum Fund. He would not be able to be at ease this way.
Bob understood what Kennedy meant and could only nod.
It was as if Rogers had no idea what they were communicating about. He said insipidly, “Initially, my team and I planned to collaborate with the government and aristocrats of Harbor City to rescue the market. This time, we’ve prepared 150 billion Harbor Dollars in addition to your 50 billion.”
He lifted two fingers. “We have a fund of 200 billion, but the market rescue fund of Harbor City is only 100 billion. Plus, I have a team of the best traders in the world, so how can they fight with me?”
When Kennedy heard this, he got up and said, “Okay. We’ll do it according to the plan. I’ll go to Law Manor now. It’s almost time, so I have to get there before the market commences in the afternoon.”
…
Before the market commenced in the afternoon, the atmosphere in Law Manor was getting lively.
One after another, cars representing the top aristocratic families in Harbor City drove into Law Manor.
At the same time, the security had been heightened to the max. Not only did the millionaires have their own bodyguards, but the police force that was transferred here by the government was also patrolling around the place.
Before the end of the financial war, this place would be one of the safest places in Harbor City.
In the living room of Law Manor, Jasper was officially meeting the heads of the four richest families in Harbor City.
There was nothing much to say about Zachary.
The first one to greet Jasper was Clark.
“Young man, I’ve heard about you. Keith told me about you as well. You’re exceptional. I’m depending on you this time,” Clark shook Jasper’s hand and said.
Jasper nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Duvall. I’ll do my best.”
Clark laughed loudly and said, “You don’t have to bear too much burden. If the sky were to fall, us old farts will hold it for you.”
“I’m young and my body is still strong, so I don’t think you elders need to throw your caps in the ring.”
Jasper made a joke.
Clark guffawed and pointed at Jasper before he turned his head to say to Spencer and Kennedy, “Look, I told you that Zachary won’t make mistakes. This young man is so interesting.”
