Regardless of whether the career of his
opponents was successful or not, or
whether his enemy was strong or weak,
Jasper always remembered that he could
never regard himself as the world’s most
intelligent person and treat the rest as
fools.
Especially when the plan to go against the
United States financial market this time
had lasted for half a year. The first attack t
o the present had lasted for more than
four months. In nearly one year, Jasper
could say that every step and every
strategy he had made was very cautious
and it was like walking on thin ice.
Even when JW Foundation succeeded in
triggering a financial crisis in the
subprime market and when JW
Foundation was at the of popularity
and was touted by the global financial
media as being able to overthrow the
United States financial companies’ throne
by themselves, Jasper was also very clear
about one thing.
That was, the United States was a powerful opponent that was impossible to defeat. The immediate
result right now came from the United States’ own problems, and it was also achieved with the
acquiescence of the people in the United States who had formulated the global economic rules as well
as their secret cooperation.
Because the United States itself also needed someone to solve their domestic economic problems.
So, there were no absolute enemies or friends in this world. If you really believed that a certain party
was your enemy and then you captured them to fight them to the death, and you even insisted on
sacrificing your people just to defeat them, then you would be a fool.
Hence, to this day, did Jasper do all this just to break the United States economy?
Not unless Jasper was crazy.
Even if he were crazy, Jasper was not so crazy that he would seriously think that he had this ability.
To be honest, aside from Jasper, even if the whole of Somerland was on board with this and were
determined to lose all their money to fight a deadly financial war with the United States, then the result
was that Somerland would return to the time when it was mainly focused on agriculture overnight while
nothing would happen to the United States.
Only 20 years later would Somerland be rising while the United States was declining. Only around
2020 would Somerland truly have the confidence and strength to say no to the United States.
Right now, it would just be wishful
thinking.
Therefore, Jasper’s core purpose had always been to make a fortune in the United States financial
market, and then t o use this opportunity to buy the stocks of the top technology companies and
Internet companies that would prosper in the future. Then, he would wait at least 20 years for the
dividend profits.
He would get a large number of funds from the United States financial market in
the financial storm to help JW complete the transformation and upgrade to become an international
conglomerate.
Then, he would frantically buy those
technology and Internet companies that would control countless patents and technologies in the future.
After that, with JW as the core in the domestic market, he would establish a giant business empire with
Internet and technology as the two major industries.
These were all Jasper’s ambitions.
When JW Foundation abandoned its attacks on listed banking companies such as Morgan, and instead
stepped up its efforts to short Weresoft, Amazon, and another technology and Internet companies, the
intention of the JW Foundation was fully exposed.
However, the management of these companies were not fools.
At the emergency board meeting held within Weresoft, Granger, who had no plans to retire, sat as the
chairman among the board of directors. His gentle and elegant face was very gloomy at this
moment.
“The company’s stock repurchase plan was launched prematurely. The current situation does not allow
us to wait any longer.”
The one who spoke was Granger’s deputy, Mobelli, and he was one of Weresoft’s earliest employees.
He held important positions in the company as Granger’s right-hand man throughout the years. On
many important occasions, he was also Granger’s mouthpiece. Right now, he was the first to open his
mouth and tell the others Granger’s proposal to see what the rest of them thought.
Hence, it could be said that Mobelli was
Granger’s absolute confidant.
“I agree.”
Weresoft’s chief operating officer nodded and said, “The company’s stock price is already seriously
undervalued. Weresoft’s stock is not junk stock. Since the financial crisis, the stock price has fallen by
a full 27 %. This is what neither investors nor we want to see.
“Now, JW Foundation is continuing to short us. They are attracting low-cost purchases of international
hot money. If this situation is allowed to continue, Weresoft’s shares will be hugely dispersed, which will
not be conducive to the company’s development.
“Hence, it is imperative to start the stock repurchase plan in advance.”
At this time, Granger looked at the chief financial officer, who was hesitant to speak, and asked,
“Henrik, what do you think?”
The chief financial officer said, “I agree with everyone’s opinions, but everyone must be aware that due
to the financial crisis, the company’s performance has fallen sharply, and the investment department’s
investment is basically operating at a loss. I am still worried about this year’s financial statements
because it will look ugly, but if the repurchase program is launched in advance, a large amount of
capital will be required, which will affect the normal operations of the company.”
Frowning slightly, Granger asked, ”
According to the current plan, how much capital is needed and how much capital does the company
have?”
“The overall repurchase plan will require a t least 1.8 billion to 2.2 billion US Dollars, but the funds we
can use cannot exceed 800 million US Dollars. Once exceeded, it will affect our other plans, such as
the development of new systems and many plans for the acquisition of other
companies. A lot of our plans are directly related to the fundamental interests of the company and
shareholders… Our shortfall requires at least 1.2 billion US Dollars.”
The words of the chief financial officer silenced most people in the conference room.
Everyone knew that this had to be done.
However, the question was how and where would they get the money to do it?
Back then, Weresoft would not take hundreds of millions of dollars seriously. The ones that slipped
from the spaces between their fingers would be enough..
However, the problem was that the current economic environment was not good. Weresoft’s profitable
funds could not just lie in the bank and be left alone. They all had foreign investment plans and the
financial crisis had caused serious losses in these funds. Plus, along with some project expenditures
and fund retentions, the liquid funds that Weresoft could take out were sorely lacking at the moment.
Granger was obviously prepared for this. H e said, “I will talk to investors about this matter. Whether it
is my share with other shareholders or my personal expenses, eventually this money will definitely go
to the company’s account. There will be at least 2 billion US Dollars.
“So, you just do what you should do. Weresoft won’t be ruined by those despicable punks.”
Granger’s statement made the chief financial official breathe a sigh of relief.
“If we can get a capital injection of 2 billion US Dollars, then the repurchase plan will be no problem at
all.”
