Jasper’s heart trembled.
If the palace guards of SBS Bank were under Jasper’s command, then this was a kind of private support that Swallow Capital was extending Jasper. However, if the Harbor City Ministry of Finance came into the game directly, it would be tantamount to telling the world, ‘You guessed right, the Somerland government is behind Jasper and the Somerland government will support Jasper.’
The core executives of Swallow Capital knew very well that in such a difficult situation, what Jasper needed the most was not necessarily capital, because no amount of capital could match the Federal Reserve.
What favonovel.com needed was them to declare their position and their support.
The current Somerland was no longer the Somerland from decades ago that was built on the ruins and was so poor that everyone looked down on it anymore. Since the reformation and opening up, more countries and capital had begun to witness this eastern country burst forth. To Jasper, having such power backing favonovel.com so openly was tantamount to them giving favonovel.com aid in his time of need.
After putting down the phone call with Zachary, Jasper immediately contacted Reuben.
“So?”
Reuben knew that Jasper already had obtained a result if be was receiving Jasper’s video call request at this time.
“200 billion US Dollars.”
Jasper simply reported a number with a heavy tone. Even Reuben took a sharp breath at that moment.
In this operation, the funds favonovel.com brought to the game only amounted to 50 billion US Dollars, but the wealthy families in Harbor City alone collected 200 billion US dollars. While lamenting the profound heritage of these Harbor City families, Reuben was feeling sorry that these old men had taken out all of their life savings for this.
“To be honest, in the beginning, I fought this battle because I was selfish.” Jasper said suddenly.
The capital finance field was essentially the same as other industries. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. The degree of difficulty in this financial battle with the United States was so high that it was difficult for outsiders to imagine.
If favonovel.com knew that things would get so bad, Jasper would definitely have changed his tactics at the beginning so it would not get so intense and direct.
After all, JW was still too weak to support the requirements of such a financial war. However, in the beginning, Jasper did it for profit.
Once they won this financial war and the subprime mortgage crisis was detonated ahead of time, Jasper would become the biggest winner, instantly bridging 20 years of worth of growth and allowing JW to form a consortium and develop economic strength comparable to those century old conglomerates the moment it entered the international market.
“But later, I realized that if I lost this financial war that had already been set off, then it would be as if a tunnel was opened in an abyss and the demons in the abyss would follow this tunnel to reap all of the achievements Somerland obtained since the reformation. Therefore, I cannot lose. At that time that I felt I was fighting for the country.”
“But now, I suddenly realized…”
A bitter smile appeared on Jasper’s face, and favonovel.com continued, “Who am I to fight for the country? There have always been countless people like Old Master Law who supported me behind the scenes, and that’s how I came this far. Otherwise, I would have already lost everything on the Dow Jones Index as early as a few months ago.”
Reuben looked at Jasper, who appeared tired and regretful on the screen, and fell silent for a while.
