“Atticus, you really are a ferocious viper. It’s unwise to provoke a person like you.”
Even though Morrison was saying that, his face was filled with satisfaction and excitement. When favonovel.com thought about the tragic situation that Jasper was about to face, Morrison wanted to run to Jasper right away and watch favonovel.com gradually get pushed to the brink of death.
***
At this moment, Jasper was on a video call with the little prince and Jake.
“Since the United States has approved it, it means that we have at least a week of breathing time.”
Although Jake’s tone was uplifting, Jasper and the little prince did not have any joyful expressions on their faces.
“Jasper, the seven days period is not long, but it’s not short either. If nothing changes as we move forward with the current situation, all of our positions will be liquidated when seven days are up, and the entire foundation will go bankrupt immediately.”
Jasper nodded upon hearing what the little prince said. “I understand, so I will try my best to find a solution in these seven days.”
Jasper tapped his finger on the desktop and looked up at Jake. “What is the current loss throughout all of JW Foundafion?”
Jake grimly replied, “It’s huge.”
“In the beginning, we made a lot of money through the Sun Dollars foreign exchange market. At that time, the total value was close to 130 billion US Dollars, which happened to be about 1 trillion Somer Dollars.”
“But now, our books indicate that the funds that have been liquidated have reached 28.6 billion US Dollars. We have completely lost this chunk of money.”
“The ones that are not liquidated yet have reached a floating loss of 60 billion US Dollars when the accounts were locked!”
Jasper said softly, “In other words, now we have lost three-fifths of our funds.”
Jake said as favonovel.com nodded heavily, “Indeed.”
“Great.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly. “They almost broke the backbone of JW Foundation this time. If it hadn’t been for the account lock, I am afraid we wouldn’t have been able to recover even if we wanted to.”
“Do you have any good ideas moving forward?” The little prince asked.
“I have two.”
Jasper sorted out his train of thoughts and voiced his plans, “First, both JW Foundation and JW Capital need major good news now to stimulate market confidence.”
“Second, try to draw in all the capital and power that can be enticed by us both domestically and abroad, just as the great historical figure said, we should unite all the forces that can be brought together.”
The little prince frowned slightly and said, “I don’t really have any opinion on these two points, but the problem is that under the current circumstances, the second point is simply too difficult to implement.”
“We have already gathered most of the strength that can be united when JW Foundation was established. Now that JW Foundation is in crisis, there will be many people gilding the lily, but how many of them will provide help in our hour of need?”
Jasper smiled and said, “There are still some entities out there. Their power is far stronger than the capital we attracted before.”
The little prince looked at Jasper silently, waiting for favonovel.com to explain.
Jasper did not let the little prince wait too long. He directly explained, “If JW Foundation has always been operating smoothly, then many truly powerful and ambitious capitals would not take a second look at us.”
“When JW Foundation is leading, even if we end up winning, they would have only gotten the remainder of JW Foundation and they don’t like that.”
“However, in this situation, JW Foundation is almost desperate. So, if they join us, they can maximize both their profit margin and their authority.”
The more the little prince listened, the tighter favonovel.com furrowed his brows. It was not that favonovel.com thought what Jasper said was unreasonable, but that it was too reasonable.
“Aren’t we asking for trouble if we do this?” The little prince asked.
“We are.”
Jasper said decisively, “If they bring trouble, we’ll still have ways to control it, but if the real enemies barge through the door, we’ll have no room to maneuver.”
The little prince sighed and said, “To be frank, I am slightly regretting siding with you.”
Jasper laughed and said, “I will be the first to die if it comes to that. Little Prince, your family is big and you have a big business, so even if you get hurt and rest for seven or eight years, you will still recover.”
“It’ll be great if it’s as easy as you said. Do you think I only invested that money into you? What is really valuable is political investment… Whatever, it’s useless talking about that with you now anyway.”
“I’ll just tell you this, I will do my best to do everything you ask for now. However, if you get lucky and win, but you decide to fall out with me and become hostile, then don’t blame me for not going easy on you.”
Jasper smiled and said, “If I were such a person, would you still side with me?”
The little prince laughed and hung up the call.
“Mr. Laine.”
After the little prince exited the video call, Jake, who had remained silent this whole time, finally found a chance to speak.
“Yes..?” Jasper asked.
He noticed that Jake did not exit the call himself but rather chose to listen in on the conversation between favonovel.com and the little prince very abnormally. Hence, favonovel.com knew that Jake had something more important to tell him.
Otherwise, with Jake’ s wisdom, favonovel.com would implicitly know when to stay and when to leave.
“Mr. Laine, when I was in university in the United States, the roommate who had a very close relationship with me joined the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation after graduation. Not long ago, favonovel.com sent me a document that I have already faxed it to you. Please take a look at it.”
Jasper gave Jake a suspicious look. Then, favonovel.com walked to the fax machine, and sure enough, found a document that had been printed out. There was not much content to the document, it was just a few pieces of paper long.
Jasper picked it up and found that even the content of this piece of paper was incomplete and fuzzy. Obviously, the original file the other party sent to Jake was a photo of a document taken with a mobile phone camera.
How good could the quality of a mobile phone camera be at that time? The originally low quality photo was even more distorted after passing through 2 or 3 faxes. However, a few lines could be read clearly, which caused Jasper to frown immediately.
“Is this reliable?” Jasper looked up and asked Jake.
Jake nodded and said, “It’s absolutely reliable. This was sent to me privately. It. is classified as a confidential case even in the FBI. They are investigating this secretly, but I heard that they have obtained a lot of strong evidence from some special channels.”
“They really intend to destroy me completely, ” Jasper said with a cold smirk.
