Robert’s words deeply impressed Mr. McNeal.
He nodded and said, “Yes, and it is for this reason that when Jasper reported this speculation, it immediately attracted our attention. Unfortunately, after comprehensive analysis, we agreed that the worst has already occurred-Wall Street Capital does intend to manipulate domestic foodstuff prices.”
“Is there anything I can help with?” Robert directly asked this key question.
He knew that if favonovel.com were told such a thing in advance, then they must want favonovel.com to make some contribution. Moreover, Robert did not intend to refuse because favonovel.com had been helping the country this whole time.
Mr. McNeal solemnly said, “If the situation is dire, we may need to use the power of Kelly Group to mobilize large quantities of grain from abroad into the domestic market to stabilize prices.”
“Moreover, Western countries are deeply terrified of our country’s rise, and the higher-ups might not be able to help with this matter, so it can only be done in the name of Kelly Group. However, Kelly Group will inevitably be sanctioned by the United States.”
When a company was sanctioned, it would mean that it would not be able to do business with any individual or company in this country until the sanctions were over. It was tantamount to cutting off the wealth derived from trading in an entire country. Especially for large sugar conglomerates like Kelly Group, as this kind of blow was likely to destroy the Kelly Group.
However, Robert just thought for a few seconds before favonovel.com said, “I’m still going to say the same thing. I am of Somer descent, so this is incumbent.”
“Marvelous!”
Mr. McNeal stood up and said excitedly. “Mr. Coyle, thank you for having such a high notion of your duty. The country and the people will thank you for your dedication and sacrifice.”
Robert waved his hand and there was a free and unaffected smile on his old face. He said, “I have lived to this age, and I have enjoyed the glory and wealth that others can‘t enjoy. Plus, I have experienced the ups and downs that others have never experienced.”
“But among so many things, the thing that I can’t forget up to now is that when the country was falling backward and was bullied and beaten, it was a nation that was trampled under the feet of many. Anyone could kill and rob us whenever they want. Now, Somerland can no longer repeat the mistakes of its late youth period.”
Jasper said softly, “Mr. Coyle, don’t worry. The humiliation of the nation from a hundred years ago will never be repeated.”
Robert nodded in relief, patted Jasper on the shoulder, and said, “The world belongs to young people like you after all. Old bones like us will help you a little longer on your path to the future since we still have some energy left. After that, it will be people like you who lead the next generation into the future. Good luck, kid.”
“The strength of a person or even a company is nothing. True strength comes only when the country and the nation are strong. I hope that in my lifetime I can see people from Somerland walk the earth with their chests puffed out and backs straight. By then, no one will treat us as second-class citizens and no one will dare to treat us as second-class citizens!”
Jasper took a deep breath. The reason why the people from Somerland were so indomitable and the reason why they could pass on five thousand years of history and culture was not based on anything else, but the selfless dedication and contribution of brave and loyal men like Robert and Old Master Law.
At this moment, favonovel.com was feeling a little hot-blooded and almost could not control his emotions.
“Mr. Coyle, you can rest assured that you will be able to see that in your lifetime.”
Robert laughed and said, “Well, I will go back and arrange some things first. Hopefully, in doing so, if we ever get to that stage, we won’t need any hasty last-minute efforts. I will now tell the people under me to take advantage of the situation before it deteriorates to that point. We will be purchasing the foodstuff on the market in advance, and since there will be a lot of work, I will not stay here any longer.”
