Life at The Top novel Chapter 865

As soon as Celine finished speaking, she noticed that Jasper was looking at her like she was an alien.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Celine asked.

“I realized that for you to be able to replace William and take the position of the president of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments, that you must be quite capable as well,” Jasper said sincerely.

“Why’s that? Don’t you think that I got this position just because I rode on your coattails?” Celine asked proudly.

“I never said that,” Jasper chuckled. “You got the position because of your own abilities,” he added.

Celine glanced at Jasper and continued speaking in a serious tone.

“We can basically confirm our opponent’s goal now. He doesn’t want money. He has acquired a book loss of approximately 200 million US dollars in order to stifle the share price during this period. This is just a rough estimate that we can use to make an educated guess.”

“Can you find out who is it?”

Jasper shook his head after hearing Celine say this. “As I’ve told you previously, I have too many opponents. All of them are imbued with a motive and the ability to pursue their goals. With the limited number of clues that we have right now, I still can’t tell who’s behind all of this,” he said.

“In that case, there’s no way to find out.”

Celine spread her arms and said, “I can only help you by analyzing the other party’s intention and possible goal on a technical level. I can’t help you resolve this problem or tell you how to fish them out.”

“You’ve already helped me a great deal,” Jasper told her in a sincere tone.

Jasper knew how to interpret the market board. His skills were impressive as well.

However, his skills only applied to general situations. They were not enough for him to see through the meticulous plots set up by masters in the share market like the one that he was facing right now.

He did not emerge victorious in the stock markets of Harbor City and Nasdaq because of his skills. Rather, he had managed to do so because he possessed a strategic vision and planning that went beyond the current era and extended almost two decades into the future.

He knew about the classic financial battles that would happen in the future. He also knew a lot of cases whereby immaculate manipulation of the market led to fascinating results.

Therefore, this knowledge served to greatly improved Jasper’s strategic planning.

Meanwhile, he simply relied on the technical skills that he had gained from his experience of working at a financial company for more than ten years in his previous life to get by.

When it came to his technical skills, Jasper could not even begin to compare to Jake Cullen.

At that moment, Jasper had finally witnessed the extraordinary trading skills of the top trader of the era.

Ordinary people may see streaks of broken lines when they looked at a market index, but Celine Maynard could instantly detect the true meaning concealed by the data whenever she looked at it.

Jasper was beyond jealous of her talent and abilities.

“Now that we know that the other party is trying to hammer the market, we aren’t left with many options.”

Jasper said in an exceptionally calm and even tone.

“If an ordinary person were in such a situation, they would definitely be overcome with anxiety regardless of how self-confident they were. But, look at you. You don’t look nervous at all,” Celine remarked in amusement.

“It’s important not to panic before the battle begins. Furthermore, it’s useless to do so. I think that I’m rather lucky, as , at the very least, we have uncovered our opponent’s plans. It’d have been too late if we discovered his plans after he made his move,” Jasper said.

“By the way, was the person that reminded you about this issue one of your subordinates? If he is, you should really reward him. One of the professional teams from the investment bank discovered this problem on our side. That person managed to find out about it at the same time as our team did. His skills are pretty extraordinary.”

After hearing this, the image of Jake’s face flashed across Jasper’s mind. He chuckled and said, “He deserves a reward, but we’ll talk about it after we overcome this challenge.”
