Jasper picked up his phone and saw that it was from the crippled Brown.
“Jasper, Adele and I are making a bet to see how long Half the Harbor Langdon will be able to stay in Harbor City this time around…”
Jasper raised his eyebrows and said with a grin, “Oh? You seem to care about that old fox Half the Harbor Langdon…”
The crippled Brown said in a calm tone, “Of course, and according to the news I got here, in order to stabilize the financial market in the United States, Soros, together with several other major families, increased the leverage by 30 to 50 times, and also lowered the loan threshold to stimulate consumption. Although it seems that the economy has recovered temporarily, in truth, it is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison.”
Jasper curled his lips and smiled. “Soros is a very ambitious man, and he has always been committed to shorting the Somerland economy. It’s just that there could have been a more gentle and effective way, but he was too eager and was always talking the unconventional gambit. If it goes on like this, I dare to conclude that within two years, there will be a large-scale subprime mortgage crisis in the United States society.”
“Since the end of the last century, the United States economy had been in a state of stagnation. However, their domestic market was big, and any internal conflict had been very serious. Hence, it could only provoke conflicts between countries, or even start wars to divert attention and make a fortune. This time, he tried to use the financial war to short Somerland, but he shot himself in the foot and was forced to sign a truce. Several top families in the United States had to go back to their country to deal with their own internal conflicts.”
The crippled Brown heard what Jasper said and nodded in agreement, “Yes, your analysis is correct. During this financial war, both Morgan and the Rothschilds have suffered heavy losses. They can’t take advantage of you, so naturally, they have to get something from other places to recover. In this way, those businessmen who previously transferred their assets overseas have become their best targets.”
“And Half the Harbor Langdon and Sawyer probably saw through the evil intentions of Morgan and the Rothschilds, so they fled back to the country impatiently. However, for these two big families, how can it be enough to use means to seize other people’s property? Naturally, the next step is to take advantage of the people.”
Having said this, the crippled Brown smiled contemptuously, shook his head and said, “A country completely controlled by capital will fall apart sooner or later. If there will be a large-scale subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in the near future, then they will definitely extend the war to the outside world. If it doesn’t work out by then, there will be another financial crisis. Then there is not much time left for us, Jasper, what are your plans for the next step?”
