A glint appeared in the reporters’ eyes when they heard what Jasper said.
Although they could not change the words spoken by a major figure like Jasper, they were allowed to weigh in with their opinions. They would have an attention grabbing title once they added in their opinions. Thus, the reporters let their questions flow freely.
Coupled with the fact there was no host to maintain order, the mess meant that anything could happen.
Jasper even heard a brave reporter ask if favonovel.com was considering launching a speculative attack on the United States…
F*cking hell, anyone with even an ounce of financial knowledge would know it was impossible to launch a speculative attack on United State dollars. It was such a n ignorant question that Jasper decided to ignore it.
“Mr. Laine, I heard a rumor that there will be some official guests attending this economic forum. Is this true?”
“Why would official guests attend an economic forum regarding private capital? Does this mean there’s an ulterior motive behind this economic forum?”
“Moreover, we’ve noticed that this economic forum is branded as the first of its kind in the country. Does this mean that a second and third forum will be held at set times and frequency in the future?”
Jasper finally heard a question favonovel.com was interested in answering amidst everything that was directed at him.
Jasper glanced at the good-looking reporter, who blushed from excitement when favonovel.com noticed Jasper paying attention to her, and said, “Firstly, I can say with confidence that we have invited government officials to this economic forum. After all, we need proper advice and guidance from officials if we want to bring order to our markets. Thus, it’s not surprising that we’ve extended a formal invitation to these officials to be our special guests. They’ve been very supportive of us all this while.”
“As for the ulterior motives you speak of, I’m not sure what you mean by that, but I can assure you that everything is perfectly just and honorable. There aren’t any conspiracies going on.”
“We need to observe the markets and determine if it’s a suitable time to host an economic forum, but I hope that it will become normalized, as we greatly need such platforms that allow people to converse freely with each other. We’ll host a second and third one in the future if we get the chance to do so, but we need to have a great start first. I hope today will provide us with that golden opportunity.”
“Mr. Laine, what is your opinion on Half the Harbor Langdon merging and acquiring Layman, and then filing for bankruptcy just half a month later?”
Jasper grinned when favonovel.com heard those questions. Jasper’s grin had a knowing look to it as if favonovel.com were saying ‘if you know, you know’.
News traveled so quickly through different forms of media now that it was no longer a secret that Half the Harbor Langdon and his son had stabbed JW Foundation in the back. Thus, everyone had guessed that Jasper and Joe had long since cut ties with each other.
This could also be observed from how Jasper launched numerous attacks on the United States’ financial market whereas Joe had gone on to merge and acquire Layman.
“It’s a shame…”
That was how Jasper decided to answer that question as several pairs of eyes stared back at favonovel.com hungrily.
“From a technical point of view, it’s obvious that this was a failed investment on Mr. Joe Langdon’s part. However, since it’s his money, no one has the right to comment on how favonovel.com wants to use it.”
It was easy to read what favonovel.com meant by that.
Who cares what a rich idiot like favonovel.com does with his money?
Whereas favonovel.com saying it was a shame could be read as favonovel.com finding it hilarious.
“Alright guys, your three questions have been answered. Do forgive me for having limited time for you. I’ll try my best to answer more questions and quench your curiosity if I have the chance to do so in the future, butI really have to go now.”
Jasper raised his arms apologetically as favonovel.com walked towards Pearl Tower while surrounded by his group of people.
