The impact of the futures market crash on the real economy was definitely ten times greater and ten
times faster than the stock market crash.
It could be said that when the influence of this 30% drop in cotton prices took effect, the entire cotton
industry would collapse completely this year.
The collapse of the cotton market would affect a series of downstream industries such as textiles,
garments, and weaving. B y then, it would cause a devastating blow t o the entire industrial chain.
At this moment, the morning trading ended, and the trading was closed at noon.
Jasper walked into his office without a
word.
In the office, Jasper reviewed his general trading process in the United States as well as all of Wall
Street capital’s moves i n the domestic market today.
Finally, he sighed deeply.
Then he picked up the phone and called
Tony.
This time, the phone rang for a long time
before connecting.
“Mr. Pratt, I watched the entire operation
of Wall Street capital in the morning and
concluded that our previous estimates
were probably too optimistic.
“We have ignored the power of Wall
Street capital and their proficiency in
attacking other countries’ economies.
Most importantly, we had forgotten the
futures market.
“After my review, I came to a frustrating
conclusion. Comparing my actions in the
United States to theirs’ in ours, we are at a
disadvantage in terms of economic
strength, technical operations, and
judgment of the economic situation.”
The breathing on the other end of the
phone became heavier. Then, Tony’s tired
voice sounded, “What should I do now?”
“Organize the power to form a defensive
counterattack. We must use this force as
the core to confront Wall Street capital, otherwise, there is no chance of winning,” Jasper said.
“The problem now is the lack of a leader,” Tony said in embarrassment.
“Although we have also cultivated a lot of talents in economics and finance, they are good at being
generals, but none of them can be marshals. What they lack is experience of macro-confrontation with
large funds in the market. If you choose the wrong person at this time, it will be impossible to recover.”
For someone like Tony who was so high u p in this system, saying those words proved that the
situation had reached an extremely critical point.
“I’ll do it,” Jasper said softly.
Tony got excited, but immediately said, ” No, you have to keep an eye on the United States market.
The time difference. between the two sides is exactly 12 hours o r so. This means that you have almost
no time to rest. You won’t be able to take this on even if you’re made from iron.
“You have done enough this time.”
Jasper smiled bitterly, “Mr. Pratt, I don’t want to take on so many responsibilities too if it could be
helped, but in the current situation, can anyone else volunteer except for me?”
These words made Tony speechless.
Jasper then said, “In other words, I am
actually the most suitable person.
“If someone with a political background comes out to take the lead, then we run the risk of them not
being familiar with private capital and being unable to integrate government and private forces. We are
already at a disadvantage in terms of capital, if we run into problems again, what are our chances of
winning?
“And if you are looking for a person with a private capital background, the problem is even greater.
Ability aside, the issue of insufficient prestige is fatal.
“Hence, only I am suitable for the role. I have the prestige to unite civil and government forces, and I
have enough experience. Therefore, I have to volunteer right now.
Jasper’s words struck Tony’s heart.
At the same time, he understood that
Jasper was only doing this out of
helplessness.
To be frank, the government was in the
same boat.
There had long been voices claiming
Jasper should become the domestic
commander in chief, but considering that
Jasper was now in charge of the situation i
n the United States and could not leave his
post, this opinion was suppressed.
What was embarrassing was that apart
from Jasper, there was really no other
qualified candidates.
Those who had this ability did not have
this prestige, while those who had this
prestige did not have this skill.
In short, the most suitable candidate was
Jasper.
After a few minutes of silence, Tony said i
n a deep voice, “I see, I will tell the higher
-ups what you think.”
“Let me know as soon as possible once there’s news.”
After hanging up, Jasper pondered for a
while, then made a call.
After a while, the phone was connected. Jasper smiled and said, “Are you free to come to my place
with Lord Alvarado? Let’s talk about something.”
That night, Jasper met Lord Alvarado and
the little prince together.
“I’m at this familiar place again.”
Lord Alvarado came in and said to Jasper
while grinning.
On the contrary, the little prince looked
slightly off-color.
Jasper looked up and smiled at Lord Alvarado, “Lord Alvarado, you seem to be i
n a good mood.”
Lord Alvarado shrugged and said, “I was initially in a bad mood. The stock market crashed this
morning, and the market did not move until the afternoon. There are so many orders and it’s estimated
to take around ten days or even a half month to clear them all. It’ll only be over once Wall Street capital
is satisfied and our market is
swept clean.”
“This wave has caused my family to lose more than one billion Somer Dollars. Do you think I can be in
a good mood if we keep losing this much money with every passing day?
“But today, cotton futures fell by a full 50 % in the morning and the afternoon. Suesville has always
been the place for weeving since ancient times, and the little prince’s family is the largest textile
producer in Somerland. Every year, one seventh of the cotton production in South Borderland and
North Borderland comes from their family. Now, they are suffering from this huge loss.
“So, I immediately felt much better. Hahaha!”
Facing the gloating Lord Alvarado, the little prince grumbled coldly and said, ” Don’t be too happy.
Sooner or later, they will get involved in mineral futures. When that happens, I’d like to see whether
your family can stay calm. Hehe, you produce a full 40% share of the domestic private minerals output.
Lord Alvarado, when that happens, you won’t be a lord anymore, I guess I’ll call you Beggar
Alvarado next time I see you.”
Through their banter, they exposed the current situation of their families.
Even families like the Alvarados in the Northwest and the Royals in Waterhoof City had suffered so
much. It could be seen that the other companies, groups, or even families would be in even worse
situations.
Although the two companies had deep and strong foundations, their reach was also. wide, which was
why their losses were so severe and the numbers so terrifying. However, one should not forget that
their ability to deal with risk was several times. that of others.
Yet, they still suffered from painful loss,
and when they reached the other sub
level, the pain would be debilitating.
“I intend to integrate the power of domestic private capital to counterattack Wall Street in the futures
and stock markets, but I need your help in this matter,” Jasper did not interrupt the two as they
compared their family situations, but instead, spoke directly.
