”I’m also heading back to the United States to report myself in. There’s a celebration banquet awaiting me as well. All the investors were extremely satisfied with the cooperation with my fellow partners. From now onward, we’ll have opportunities to work together.
“The share that belongs to you will be transferred to your designated account within this week. For now, let’s stay low as currently, Harbor City is experiencing a massive crash in the dot-com bubble. Many potential shares are on the lower side, and it’s just the right timing to enter now.”
Rogers said as he burst into laughter.
“To be honest, I’m looking forward to the day when I cross paths with Jasper. This young man has intrigued my interest.”
After making only a few comments, Rogers led his team to leave the scene.
In the villa, only Kennedy and Bob were left there.
Kennedy tossed a cigarette to Bob and said with a complicated expression, “This bunch of foreigners has earned quite a ton.”
Bob said with a rather jealous feeling, “Their ability is overwhelming. What can we do about them?”
“However, this is also a lesson for Jasper. It should make him realize others are more capable than him and he shouldn’t be too arrogant.”
Kennedy breathed out a mouthful of smoke and said, “In the future, there will be plenty of chances to teach youngsters in Harbor City about their standings in society.”
While he was in the middle of the conversation, Kennedy received a call.
It was a call from his son, Mitch Langdon.
“What’s the matter?” Kennedy asked.
On the other end of the call, Mitch’s voice was followed by a sobbing tone.
“Dad, I’m… I’m broke!”
At that moment, Mitch’s hair and clothes were in a mess. It was as if he was a poor guy running for his life. He glanced at Zane who was on the ground and unable to move an inch. The man was not saying a word while Mitch was speaking with a shaking voice.
“I thought Harbor Stocks would still drop today, so I used up the family’s assets and put it into a short sale. I didn’t expect that b*stard, Jasper, to be chosen as the host for the market rescue fund. In the first wave, he immediately cleared off our orders.
“Currently, the prices are continuously rising. Me and Zane… have been liquidated and are bankrupt!”
Kennedy, who initially was still in a somewhat pleasant mood, immediately had a dark expression after hearing it.
“Didn’t I order you to behave yourself and stay at home without doing anything?! Who gave you the guts to make your own decision and go forth to play with stocks?!
