Life at The Top novel Chapter 201

When it was time, the market commenced.

In the split second after, not only the investors in Harbor City were watching Harbor Stocks, but numerous capitalists from all over the world also had their eyes on it.

Although the burst of the dot-com bubble was global, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that the situation in Harbor City was more than extraordinary.

It was because someone was trying to collapse the economy in Harbor City using the crisis.

This was already a financial battle, and it was not as simple as a normal crisis after the burst of a bubble.

The moment the market commenced, numerous funds were being injected frantically into the transaction of the stock market index. The Hansel Index was fluctuating intensely in just a split second.

“Mr. Laine, the Hansel Index dropped by 11 points after the commencement of the market. Currently, the short sale of the funds that have reached a deal has reached five billion and it’s increasing continuously.

“Mr. Laine, the party that’s short-selling is offensive and violent. Now, the Hansel Index has dropped another seven points.

“Mr. Laine, two stocks in Harbor Stocks have reached their price limits.”

The atmosphere in the living room became more intense after Zack reported the situation at an extremely fast speed.

Spencer, from the four rich families, had a horrible look on his face because the two stocks that had reached their limits were the listed companies under his name.

The other party was having a demonstration!

They were attacking the stocks of the rich families!

Everyone looked at Jasper, waiting for him to give out an order.

However, Jasper was only drinking his tea. The lingering dense vapor was hanging in the air, obscuring his expression.

Spencer could not keep his cool anymore because his listed companies had been attacked to their price limits. He said, “Mr. Laine, aren’t we going to do anything?”

At this moment, Jake smirked and said, “I think he’s stumped from the attacks. It’s just been three minutes since the commencement. The funds of the short-selling parties who are waiting for the put have been increased to seven billion. Have you never seen this kind of battle, country bumpkin?

“Let me teach you, the market needs confidence now. Everyone knows that the government of Harbor City has a market rescue plan. You should go in immediately and clear the market of the sellers!”
