“However, due to the time difference, we need to pull an all-nighter if they take action. Make sure to re-adjust the work schedules of your departments. If anyone makes a mistake, don’t bother explaining it to me. Explain everything to Mr. Laine himself.”
Everyone gazed at each other after hearing Jack’s words. Heaving a collective sigh, they agreed unanimously.
…
Back in Nauritus City, it was already two in the morning when Jasper arrived home after sending Celine back to her hotel.
Jasper had been communicating closely with Jake throughout his journey home.
Jasper did not have anyone that he could rely on in the United States, and the topping-off ceremony would be held in two days’ time. Because of this, it was impossible for him to stay up all night just to monitor the American stock market. Thus, he had no choice but to hand this task over to Jake.
“Sena’s funds amount to 600 million dollars right now. I have another 300 million dollars on hand. This is all held in US dollars. I’ll let you handle this sum of money for now–our main goal is to snatch back all of their shares.”
Jasper remained on the phone with Jake after arriving home.
“Mr. Laine, it shouldn’t be hard to take over their shares, but the other party has been preparing for such a long time. It is unlikely that we’ll be able to obtain an equivalent number of shares within such a short period of time. If we try too hard to do so, the share price will rise. If that happens, we will have to pay a higher price.”
“We’ll just have to pay the price then.”
Jasper said in an even tone. “After taking down this cunning wolf, we’ll gain a considerable amount of profits. The problem now isn’t money. We need to know is how many shares they have under their control, and when they intend to take action.
“Mr. Laine, we’ll surely be able to notice the signs before they start carrying out their plan. I will be monitoring the share price the entire team. If anything happens, I’ll be the first one to tell you.”
Jasper nodded with satisfaction and replied, “Sure, I’ll hand this task over to you.”
