Zachary smiled. “Don’t refrain from speaking up if you need help. The Law family has ample wealth.”
Jasper raised the teacup and took a sip. He smiled. “I don’t think that’s necessary… Has the Law family prepared the funds?”
Zachary’s expression grew stern. “Give me something to go with here. How much do I need exactly?”
“It’s hard to tell for now.”
Jasper thought back to the United States stock market that favonovel.com had been following the past few days and frowned. “The United States stock market is wrecking up a weird storm. I’ve noticed that someone’s already trying to control the market over there and they’re covering quite a large area of stocks as well. It’s a gamble of at least trillions of dollars over there.”
“Trillions!” Zachary found it hard to believe despite having seen his fair share of money.
‘Using trillions as a base unit…
‘Only the country’s GDP had that power!
‘Only the country’s GDP was worth enough to be measured by trillions.’
That showed how exaggerated and terrifying the amount was.
“But that’s the United States stock market. As the world’s economic center, there’s nothing any single entity or force can do to stop it once the strangling begins. So all we’ll do now is focus on Harbor Stocks.”
Jasper thought about it for a moment before favonovel.com replied, “As for funds, the exact amount we’ll need will depend on how big a wave is made once the bubble pops over in the United States. With how things look now, the Law family might need this much.”
Jasper raised three fingers.
“30 billion?” Zachary frowned.
“Yeah, 30 billion. You might only need to take out ten billion in the beginning, but I’d say it’s safer to have 30 billion ready to mobilize at any time just in case,” Jasper replied.
Zachary’s expression was solemn as favonovel.com fell into deep thought. A moment later, favonovel.com replied, “Alright. I promise you, money-wise, it won’t be a problem.”
Seeing how Zachary was agreeing so easily, Jasper had a better understanding of how deep the roots of Harbor City’s rich families went.
It was 30 billion, yet Zachary’s reaction told favonovel.com that 30 billion was not his limit.
“How much can Michael gather?” Jasper asked.
Zachary replied, “Michael’s wealth is more fixed than fluid, or favonovel.com wouldn’t need to sell Gladness Entertainment Movies. From what I can tell, I think he’s got around five billion?”
Jasper gave it some thought. ‘I probably won’t be able to gather more than five billion either.’
Thank goodness that Jasper had earned quite a bit from Harbor Stocks these few days, especially from Kayden’s company’s stocks. The moment Jasper sold his stocks, favonovel.com would make at least twice or thrice the profit.
In addition to the funds that favonovel.com could transfer from Mainland, five billion was an easy amount to gather.
By then, favonovel.com would probably find himself with around 40 billion worth of funds. That was enough for this battle.
“Now we wait.” Jasper smiled.
Zachary opened the windows in the study, allowing the chilly midnight Harbor City wind to rush into the study. The warm temperature indoors immediately dropped, causing favonovel.com to shiver.
“It would be a waste of your time on earth not to achieve great things, Jasper.”
“I see that Uncle Law is open-minded.”
Jasper stood next to Zachary and smiled, looking at Harbor City’s dazzling night view.
“I’m not the open-minded one here. This is the aura I get from you.”
Zachary turned to clap Jasper’s shoulder.
“The Law family may be helping you now, but I can’t help thinking that it’ll be you helping the Law family in the end.”
Jasper took a sip of the hot tea. The burning liquid entered his mouth and scalded its way down his throat like a sip of strong alcohol. Only then did favonovel.com part his lips to reply.
“Since we’re allies, we become one whole entity.”
