“Financial turmoil?”
Alan sounded playful.
It was as if an adult saw a child taking a wooden stick like they were the hero. It’s not that favonovel.com was looking down on anyone, but favonovel.com simply felt that this kid was so naive and viewed things in such a simple manner.
“Jasper, you can’t become a hero with just a stick. The United States has established supremacy since World War II. Apparently, nobody on this earth is powerful enough to deal with them. Not you nor Somerland.“
Alan spoke indifferently, “If you’re here to discuss this matter with me, I think I shall not waste any more of my time talking to you.”
“Wait a minute, Mr. Maynard.”
Jasper continued his words as favonovel.com handed a document to him, “Take a look at this.”
Alan frowned slightly but still took the document with patience. Just a cursory glance at its contents was enough to make Alan feel anxious to the point that his ass fell back down onto his seat.
The more Alan looked at the document, the more solemn his expression became.
The document was an analysis on the economics of the States written by Jasper.
Alan would not have been so stirred up if it was simply a small matter.
Jasper remembered that, after the outbreak of the subprime crisis in 2008, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and his team took three years to write an economic survey report which contained the same material which favonovel.com was now sharing with Alan.
The global economic community was shocked after reading the latest economic report which was known as a thorough and fundamental survey of the States. This report not only elaborated on the root cause of the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, but it also provided an evaluation of the United States, the world’s largest country, in detail.
The new president in the States made his first state of the nation address based on the economic report. Not to mention that the report was now being released ten years in advance, meaning it was coming out right before the supreme mortgage broke out, which in and of itself brought about great and profound impact.
More than an hour passed.
Alan had been reading the report attentively for the past hour while Jasper patiently waited
Alan closed his eyes and did some thinking after reading the report. He then said, “Did you write this report?”
No matter how shameless Jasper was, favonovel.com would not take the credit for such a thing. Thus, favonovel.com said, “I came up with the idea and framework while my professional team completed the details.”
“I’m pretty sure the members of the Academy of Social Sciences from Somerland participated in writing it too, right? I doubt that a normal civil organization could write such a report.” Alan said.
‘Yes, you’re the boss. Whatever you say is right.’
Jasper did not say anything, and simply smiled. ‘If favonovel.com thinks so, so be it, no point drawing the entire picture out.’
“I just roughly read through it, but it will take at least a long time to understand its contents properly. Similar issues and reports have actually been made by both the resource team from Washington and the economic research office on my side. Nobody has ever written a report as detailed and profound as yours. It is simply astonishing.”
Jasper lowered his head as favonovel.com took a sip of his tea.
‘Hmmm? This report about the subprime crisis took an eventual Nobel prize winner of Economics and his team three years to produce.’
‘Moreover, it was written after the subprime crisis, with hindsight on the economic development of the country from 1980 to the subprime crisis in 2008. This was a 28 years long process.’
‘The world’s most authoritative team in the economics field wrote the report after witnessing history with their own eyes, but we are viewing it with the benefit of foresight since this is before the subprime crisis broke out.’
‘How could the report not be terrifying?’
‘How could it not be profound?’
‘How could it not be astonishing?’
“What do you want to get with just this report?”
Alan’s question made Jasper raise his head up to look at him, the patriarch of the Maynards from North America.
“Mr. Maynard, instead of asking what I want why don’t you tell me what can I do for the Maynards, and in exchange what the Maynards can do to pay me back?“
Alan started chuckling. However, there was no hint of aloofness in his tone this time.
Even the top resource team from Washington could not write such a report. As such, Jasper had already earned Alan’s respect.
“As I said, I can provide better opportunities for the Maynards.”
“I’m pretty sure you, Mr. Maynards, are smart enough to understand the current economic system in the United States even without the report. The problems will definitely emerge sooner or later, it’s just that nobody is sure when and how it will end up.”
Jasper was being dignified as favonovel.com stared at Alan and said in a serious tone. “But right now, I will be the one who detonates the problem to make things even more interesting!”
“Imagine how much advantage the Maynards will gain from this financial tsunami that will sweep across the United States and radiate around the world if they could embrace the opportunity? I suppose the meaning of something like this does not need to be conveyed by a junior like me, Mr. Maynard.”
Alan narrowed his eyes and said softly, “It is still nearly impossible to cause it to happen regardless of the few problems in their economic system.”
“Once the lockdown order is lifted, a fund pool of more than 900 billion dollars will be unlocked, while I’ve also raised another 800 billion bucks in Somerland. Will that be enough?”
Jasper interrupted Alan and said.
Alan raised his eyebrows slightly.
This could either be because Jasper tried to interrupt the conversation or because of the numbers favonovel.com had just mentioned.
“Mr. Maynard, you might have forgotten that I have Somerland behind me!”
Alan laughed out loudly after hearing those words. “Young man, just tell me what you want me to do?”
Jasper then let out a sigh of relief when Alan finished saying this. He knew that Alan had made a decision.
