In Jasper’s previous life, the ceiling price of the cotton market this time was locked at 18,980 dollars then.
However, the price now was 18,800 dollars.
It seemed that there was still about a 200-dollar profit margin, but Jasper had never been an overly self-assured person.
This was because he found that his influence in the present time and space was becoming increasingly greater as he made use of his memory from his past life.
He had no way of guaranteeing that the price of cotton would be locked at 18,980 dollars this time around. If they missed the opportunity, leading to a monumental crash in the price, it would be difficult even if they wanted to sell it off by that time.
Regardless if it were his own investment or if he were helping Kai to ride out his difficult time, he would not rely on his past memories anymore.
When it came to profits, it was enough to be able to gain the most of it. One should never become too greedy for the leftovers.
At this moment, however, Jasper’s decision had stunned the three of them including Samuel.
Seeing the price suddenly spiking exponentially, Jasper informed them that they should close their position.
They could take it as safekeeping by taking the profits into their pockets.
Going against the trend and short selling, however, what the heck was this move?
Samuel’s heart was drumming at first, afraid that he would lose his say, but when he heard what Jasper said, he could hardly resist the frenzy he felt. He let out a hearty laugh.
“Have you gone mad? You want to short sell at a time like this? Hahaha, what a joke! You really think you can predict the future?”
Samuel’s expression was taunting and showed his delight. “Don’t tell me you’re afraid that you’re unable to earn six million and will lose the bet, hence why you’re now deciding to take a wild risk? Hahaha, young man, I may not like you but I have to say that you’re courageous.”
Taking in a deep breath, Kai looked at Jasper with a questioning gaze.
Jasper furrowed his brows and said out loud, “Did you forget what you told me before?”
