At that moment, fierce competition began among the people who were watching the rise and fall of the
internet sector in Harbor Stocks. A large number of funds were entering the market every second.
Bearish people wanted to knock down the stock prices, bringing down with them all of Harbor Stocks
and its Hansel Index. Meanwhile, bullish people continued to defend their territory and refused to let the
prices drop so easily.
A war without the use of gunpowder continued to spread.
At that moment, in a quiet villa within Harbor City, the clicking of keyboards continued to sound out.
Kennedy stared at the display screen solemnly and kept firing orders.
A short distance away, Rogers sat idly as he sipped red wine.
“We’ve accumulated enough bargaining chips, Mr. Rogers,” Kennedy turned to tell Rogers.
Rogers put the glass of red wine down and looked at the screen, a playful smile tugging at the corners
of his lips as he spoke, “News of Weresoft in the United States should’ve arrived at Harbor City by now,
yes?”
Kennedy replied, “People more well-informed should already know by now. Quite the amount of funds
have begun to enter the market.”
“Good!”
Rogers rolled his shoulders and walked over to the door. “I’ll tell the people at Wall Street to start
moving. There’ll be an exciting battle there in no time, and I’m sure Harbor Stocks will immediately
make their move as well.”
“Solo, that old man, didn’t manage to defeat Harbor City’s economy three years ago, but this time, I’m
going to make sure Harbor City’s economy loses the past five years of their development!”
Bob spat at him sullenly as he watched Rogers leave to contact his Quantum Fund Group. “These
white people from the United States are just coming here to dig up the graves of Harbor City’s
ancestors. And here we are, handing them the shovels.”
Kennedy glanced at Bob plainly and spoke, “Ancestors don’t exist in the capital market, but if you mind,
you’re free to leave.”
Bob smiled embarrassedly. “I don’t care if they live or die. The more they lose, the happier I become.
After all, that’s how we profit.”
Five minutes later, Barron’s, the dominating financial magazine, had published an emergency report in
the United States.
Its contents were no different from Jasper’s memory of his past life.
They had investigated more than 200 internet companies and realized that the senior executives there
had all begun to cash out. The companies’ performances began to fall, and a lot of them on the market
were facing dilemmas of bankruptcy and restructuring.
With that report published, the public opinion around Wall Street that had been shrouded in the gloomy
clouds of Weresoft losing the antitrust lawsuit immediately exploded.
The capital’s senses were the most sensitive, and they had immediately affected the stock market.
All three of the United States’ indexes, The Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite,
plummeted drastically.
Without warning, the dot-com bubble crashed worldwide.
In a flash, trillions of funds turned into maddening strangles in the United States stock market, and
enormous amounts of funds disappeared into thin air in mere seconds. Countless people were
immediately faced with bankruptcy.
The tragedy hit like a tsunami, and it swallowed the entire world whole.
Harbor Stocks’ Hansel Index was immediately affected, and countless investors immediately tried to
retreat. Every investor began to sell their stocks at maddening speed in fear of being affected.
However… they were too late.
“Quick, what’s the trading volume of the internet sector?”
“It’s three times larger than it was three minutes ago! It’s continuing to grow!
“The Hansel Index just dropped by 200 points!
“The stock market crashed!”
Zack’s frantic and exceptionally excited voice was quickly followed by Jasper’s new instructions.
“Open a position! Open a position! The Hansel Index, it’s dropping! Open a position now!”
