Jasper’s words made the corners of Lord Alvarado and the little prince’s mouths twitch.
Those small bosses could emigrate. They could sell all their belongings or just throw them away and go directly to live abroad and start anew with the cash they could carry and their family members. However, their family and business were so big. They could run this time, but they would have to come back eventually. So, where could they go?
They were used to being rich in Somerland, so how would they endure a servile life abroad?
Besides, their foundation belonged to their ancestors, and they could not lose this.
So, Jasper was clearly telling them the truth.
If they could get through this, then they could live just as they wanted, but if they could not, then it would be the end of the road for them, and everyone would be finished.
“Moreover, once you get involved, you must be prepared for bankruptcy.”
Jasper’s words made the little prince and Lord Alvarado smell the intense smell of blood wafting in front of their noses at the same time.
They looked up at Jasper, frowned, and said, “Jasper, who would want this?”
“Nobody‘s money is brought by the wind. It is good to fight for self-protection, but it is too scary to think that there’s a risk of bankruptcy at any time.”
Jasper answered flatly, “If you aren’t aware of this, then why are you even involved? This is not even a choice.”
“If we win, we will still need the capital to fight. The losses and wear and tear of this process are immeasurable. If we lose, then it goes without saying that we’re all finished.”
“In other words, there is still a little hope if we fight back. If we don’t, there is none. You have seen the situation of cotton futures and the stock market on the last trading day.”
“I can tell you with certainty that the economic foundation and heritage of Somerland is incomparable to that of the United States. I have been doing so much in the United States, but it is far from the point where I hurt the United States to the bone.”
“On the other hand, it’s only the first day here, but those guys from the United States have already hurt our domestic economy. Tomorrow, they will pull out our nerves, while the day after tomorrow, they will pull out our bones. The day after that, they will break out bones to suck out our bone marrow.”
“Okay, stop scaring us. Tell us, what do you need us to do?” Lord Alvarado asked with a sullen face.
Jasper looked at the little prince and said, “As the economic center of Somerland, Waterhoof City is also the core of the economically developed Tri Delta region. This region has the largest number of listed companies and large conglomerates, so I need the Royals to come forward and integrate these powers.”
“The first target is those listed companies, followed by those large industrial groups. Tell them the current situation and then tell them the consequences of refraining. After that, let them decide by themselves.”
The little prince nodded and said, “That won’t be difficult.”
Jasper looked at Lord Alvarado again, and Lord Alvarado hurriedly waved his hand and said, “The economy of the Great Northwest is not comparable to Waterhoof City, and there are only a few listed companies.”
“I know this, so what I need are the industrial companies of the entire Northwestern region. This task is not easy because most of the Northwestern region’s industrial companies are basically from the older generation. They may not be so sensitive to the financial market, so your task is actually tougher than the little prince’s.”
Lord Alvarado waved his hand and said, “I’ll do my best. Everything else aside, the Alvarados still have prestige in the Northwest.”
“This thing can’t be done by prestige alone. You need to make them understand the current situation.”
After staying silent for a while, Jasper continued, “In addition to this, I will contact the Davidsons and the Millers. In short, you four will be under me in this matter. From where, it’ll depend on you four how much power you can radiate and gather.”
“And hurry up. After you get in touch with them, I will take the time to hold an economic forum in Waterhoof City to gather everyone together. When the time comes, I will invite some people from the government to influence them. As for who, I don’t know yet. This can be regarded as giving everyone a little confidence.”
