Arriving at the command center, Jasper had the data projected on the large screen. His brows
remained furrowed the moment he saw the horrifying drop of the Harbor Stock Market index.
“All transaction quantities have shrunk. Now, t’s just retail investors trying to flee. The shorts are
continuing to hammer the market and there’s no one who dares to stand forth and rescue the market.
That’s why the transaction quantities are so small, and the market index keeps crashing.”
Jake said cautiously beside Jasper, “Mr. Laine, if this keeps going, Harbor Stocks will be broken by the
end of today. This will result in a huge loss on Harbor Stock’s economy.”
Jasper asked grimly, “How much loss do Harbor Stocks have to suffer to affect Harbor Dollar’s
exchange rate?”
“Thanks to your previous support, Harbor Stocks market index has been maintaining at around 9200
points these days. After dropping 800 points when the market opened, we’re left with 8400 points.
According to my analysis, the moment the market index drops below. 8000 points, there will be a huge
fluctuation in Harbor Dollar’s exchange. rate.”
Jasper frowned, his expression extremely heavy.
“Harbor Stocks and Harbor Dollar’s exchange rate are closely connected. The moment Harbor Dollar’s
exchange rate fluctuates, Harbor City’s economy will surely suffer a great blow as well. By then, the
country’s government will have no choice but to stabilize Harbor Dollar’s exchange rate with foreign
exchange.”
“If that happens, pressure will be shifted t o Somer Dollar’s exchange rate. What a way to kill two birds
with one stone,” Jasper muttered to himself.
“That’s what our analysis team predicted as well,” Jake said.
“We’re defending the market,” Jasper said.
Jake immediately replied, “Mr. Laine, the moment we transfer funds into Harbor Stocks to defend the
market, our domestic funds will be the ones put under great pressure. This will continue unless we
think of a way to pull our funds out of the United States.”
“That’s impossible. The United States Government will not let us take our funds out at such a time,”
Jasper shook his head and replied.
“Mr. Laine, you must be rational now. It won’t be easy defending the market, and what if this is a trap
Quantum Funds set for us? What if he’s waiting for us to transfer our funds to Harbor Stocks, so he can
attack domestic class A shares?”
Jasper replied, “That’s just speculation, w e don’t know for sure. This is Soros’ true motive. We don’t
have enough funds, so it’ll be extremely difficult for us to defend one market.”
“We’ll be put in a precarious position if w e face attacks from both ends. If we choose to defend Harbor
Stocks, we won’t be able to defend domestic class A shares. If
we choose to defend domestic class A shares, then Harbor Stocks will be doomed.”
Jake did not speak anymore. His role was t o inform Jasper of the advantages and disadvantages of
the situation. Jasper was still the one who would make the final decision.
At this moment, Jasper’s phone suddenly
rang.
Jasper looked down to read the number and told Jake, “Let me think for a moment, wait for me
outside.”
After Jake walked out, Jasper accepted the
call.
“It’s me, Old Master Law.”
Astonishingly, this call was from Old
Master Law far away in Harbor City.
In comparison to Jasper’s heavy tone, Old Master Law sounded extremely relaxed. ” Hey, Jasper. Have
you had breakfast?”
Jasper was speechless. Now was hardly the time for such trivial questions.
However, Jasper did not dare to act out of line before Old Master Law. He replied respectfully, “I ate
something on the way.
Are you well, Old Master Law?”
“I’m very well.”
Old Master Law seemed to be in a good mood.
“We already know of what happened today, so I’m calling you just to tell you something. It’s nothing
much.”
“Please do, Old Master Law. I’m listening,” Jasper replied courteously.
“You are not the same Jasper you used to b e. Back then, there was only so many people and things
you can influence. But now, every single move you make must be made with the larger picture in mind.
Your influence has grown into something extremely powerful.”
“Therefore, in regards to Harbor Stocks, you cannot give me or the other rich families of Harbor City
special treatment
for the help that we have provided you before. Let go when you have to and never hold on to what you
cannot.
“If Harbor Stocks loses today, it’s the money of the people here we’re losing. But if you lose, then it’s
the mainland’s entire financial market that’s being lost. You and I, we cannot betray of our race.”
Old Master Law had only said one thing,
but it felt like he had spoken a lot.
Jasper listened carefully, his emotions
crashing like waves against his heart.
“Old Master Law, Harbor Stocks will be doomed if I do nothing. Harbor City will lose at least 15 years of
its economic development. I will also be a traitor to Harbor City.”
The old master replied liberally, “Even if Harbor City loses 15 years of its economic development, it’s
still Harbor City. As long as the people are still here, the city will not fall. But the mainland cannot afford
to lose even 1 year of its economic development. How big do you think Harbor City is? How many
people do you think we have? Compared with the mainland, what are we?”
“Jasper, this is a simple decision. You should know how to make it.”
Jasper clenched his jaw and replied, “But this might cause your whole life’s hard work to go to waste.”
“Haha, this is where you’re wrong.”
Old Master Law replied. “I’ve spent billions on charity my whole life. Anything I owe society, I think I’ve
already repaid. Not to mention that I still have an overseas trust fund. No matter what happens, my
descendants will still b e able to live comfortably for a few generations with the money from this fund.”
“As an elder, I have already done my best and there is nothing more for me to lament about. It doesn’t
matter if these businesses can continue or are forced to come to an end, nothing is more important
than the mainland’s market at this moment.”
“These are my, and the members of Harbor City’s highest class’, intentions.
“If someone has to sacrifice something, then let it be us old folks.”
Jasper remained frozen in place until the call ended.
He clenched his fist indignantly.
Old Master Law’s intentions were clear. H e did not want Jasper to get involved in Harbor Stocks, as
that would result in a void in the mainland’s class A shares-one that would give Soros the perfect
opportunity to attack.
Harbor City was willing to sacrifice itself t o overcome Soros’ plan.
Jasper lifted his head numbly. Harbor Stocks continued to plummet at an impressive rate. There was
no stopping this fiery red force!
At the same time, Harbor Stocks’ Hansel Index was at 8189 points.
There were only 189 points left until it broke through 8000.
