“Who said the foundation has been hollowed out?”
Old Master Law raised an eyebrow.
“Our foundation has never been pinned on someone or a certain force, let alone that wealth. Our real foundation is Somerland and the mainland. Do you still not understand such a simple truth?”
“Dad, I understand these principles very well, but the actual situation is that it is not just our family, all the other families are also struggling. At this point, it will be difficult to even scratch out a living, so what do you say?” Zachary seldom retorted the old master in this manner.”
“You fool!”
Old Master Law shouted, “Let me ask you, what will Wall Street do if Jasper loses? What will the United States government do?”
“We have discussed this issue a long time ago and we have reached a consensus. If Jasper loses, the entire Somerland financial market will be attacked by Wall Street. If that were to happen, the fruits of the reformation and opening up will become something that everyone can pick at will. If the mainland’s financial system collapses, the Laws and the other families will truly be in huge trouble!”
“Why else do you think those old guys would bet on this with me? They can all see this clearly.”
Zachary rubbed his face and said in distress, “Dad, what if we lose this time…”
“I’ve left you a fund. This fund is enough for Henry’s children to live comfortably throughout their lives. This is our last life-saving card, but I don’t think we need to use it. As long as Jasper is still alive, favonovel.com won’t allow us to fall to that point.”
As soon as Old Master Law finished speaking, Zachary’s cell phone rang. Zachary was shocked and immediately answered.
After a while, Zachary abruptly got up and said in surprise, “Are you for real?”
Old Master Law looked at Zachary quietly, and favonovel.com had no idea what was said on the other end of the phone, but favonovel.com knew it would not be a trivial matter if it was able to shock his son so much.
“I’ll go back to the company right away.”
After Zachary finished speaking, favonovel.com hung up the phone and spoke to Old Master Law with a smile on his face, “Dad, Jasper did not let us down. He took the opportunity presented by the subprime mortgage crisis to short all United States’ stocks relating to basic infrastructures like real estate, building materials, transportation, and so on. Now, the entire United States stock market is like a cripple whose backbone has been broken.”
“And just now, the Agricultural Bank, ICBS, and Construction Bank jointly issued an official letter to several families in Harbor City, stating that whenever there is a need for funds, they can provide an interest free loan of 10 billion Somer Dollars!”
Old Master Law chuckled softly upon hearing the words. “Good. Very good. How spectacular.”
“Dad, I’m going to the company first.”
The old master said with a nod, “Ask Jasper to find a way to help the Boyles’ granddaughter first and then straighten out the company’s affairs. You can take care of the rest.”
“Okay.” Zachary nodded and went out excitedly.
Soon, the house was empty and Old Master Law was left alone. The old man stood up and walked to the window. At this moment, the spine that had been slumped this whole time was upright. His awe inspiring aura from back then was once again present. How could a mad dog dare to bare its fangs at a ferocious tiger?
