As soon as the two met, Celine began bickering with him. She would still get nervous when she recalled the day that Jasper attacked the United States stock market.
Since World War II and the fall of the former Soviet Union, no country had dared to challenge the United States. The United States was the most powerful country in the world, while Somerland was only a developing country. When the competition between the two sides gradually reached a stalemate, Celine had been praying for Jasper in her heart. She believed that Jasper could accomplish what others could not.
At the same time, Celine discovered a problem with the United States stock market, and saw new funds flow into the market. These funds were like thorns on a vine, such that whoever they touched would bleed. With this awareness, Celine joined in, and at the same time, she restrained other forces. Luckily, they ended up winning, so her efforts were not in vain.
“You have to thank this little girl this time. She has been keeping other forces that were against you in check.”
“Although my funds became your sword, this little girl definitely became your shield in keeping those threats out,” said the crippled Brown from one side.
This image was very vivid and Celine was also pleased to hear it. The corners of her mouth lifted into a very pretty smile.
Jasper took another look at Celine from head to toe.
“I just mentioned that day that I felt that it was easy for me to move around in the United States stock market, which surprised me. But the battle was fierce and I couldn’t be distracted, so I didn’t pay too much attention to other details. Speaking of which, I still want to thank you.”
Jasper’s gratitude warmed Celine’s heart. What she wanted in her heart was to make Jasper owe her a favor. It would be better if he owed her more favors.
“This time, I will also participate in the negotiations with the United States…”
“The person they are mainly targeting is you. They have suffered a heavy loss this time and they still want to see your attitude.”
Back to the main topic.
Jasper looked down at the teacup, weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
Any matter would always have two sides, namely the good and bad. Once the negotiation was finished, it would be followed by implementation. The final plan had not been made yet. However, judging from the current situation, the United States would definitely not be easy-going.
“Since they want to negotiate, why don‘t they send someone here?”
Jasper asked, looking at the crippled Brown. The latter had long expected that he would ask such a question, therefore, he took out another booklet. After opening it, he revealed a photo of Soros on it.
“Him?”
“He’s an old acquaintance, and he is in Somerland now.” The crippled Brown told him.
Jasper recalled seeing Soros in the morning. It seemed that he came with a mission this time.
