“Now that the management has unanimously passed this resolution,” Granger scanned the room and then said, “Then we shall start executing this immediately.
“Dismissed.”
With the end of this conference, the world’s current largest Internet company, Weresoft, started to run at high speed like an extremely sophisticated machine.
At the same time, similar things also happened within a series of other companies such as Amazon and Oracle. While all this was in full swing, it was time for the market to stop trading.
“The Dow Jones Index is the most concentrated place for bank stocks, so after we gave up our attack on banking companies, its position stabilized at 26010 points. The Nasdaq index is our focus area before the close. At one point, the market officially fell below the 20000-point integer mark and closed at 19 986 points.”
Jake reported to Jasper with an expression filled with excitement, “And we learned that Oracle is in a capital chain crisis and its founder, Allison, has contacted Morgan, Citibank, and other banks to seek further financing.”
The exhausted Jasper yawned and said, “They’re a company that specializes in databases, how much liquidity will they have if their stock price drops? It’s good that they could hold on until now.”
“Mr. Laine, do we want to entrust an intermediary to talk to Allison? Oracle has the world’s largest database software and there are countless related patents which are fully in line with our planned acquisition plan,” Jake proposed.
“No…” Jasper shook his head and refused.
“This company won’t agree to our invitation. Even a capital injection is impossible, let alone an acquisition.”
There were racists everywhere in the United States, and one of the richest racists was the founder of Oracle, Allison.
This son of a b*tch had made public remarks on more than one occasion that people from Terra were inferior and that Somerland was a backward feudal country. And in the future, when Oracle entered the domestic market of Somerland, it would use its status to treat the Somerland companies that they partnered with like second-class citizens.
To put it bluntly, this mongrel did not treat Somerland and the people in Somerland as human beings at all.
Jasper did not want to engage with such a character at all. Moreover, Jasper even planned to destroy Oracle if the opportunity arose.
An Internet company like Oracle not only had the world’s largest database, but also the world’s largest enterprise-level software development. It was impossible to completely destroy it, but under the United States capitalist system, it would also be nice to use capital to destroy Allison, kick favonovel.com out of his company, and turn favonovel.com into a pauper.
However, these were trivial matters. Now, Jasper’s status was no longer restricted to a certain company or a certain person.
If the timing and conditions were right, it could be done, but it was not necessary to pursue it deliberately. The overall situation was still the most important thing at this time.
If favonovel.com won in the overall situation, it would be easy to destroy this kind of person. Jasper would then let Allison understand that even if favonovel.com was a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes, no one would want to save favonovel.com when favonovel.com was destitute.
“Soon, these companies will undoubtedly start a stock repurchase plan. As things stand in the market, as long as there is enough money to buy the shares of these companies for a year or more, we will obtain at least 50% of the profits.”
“This has not only been noticed by the greedy hot money, these companies themselves know better than anyone else that they will not allow their stock to be taken away in vain.”
“So, we should wait longer. We’ll wait until they resist this wave and then we’ll strike. Once they lose their energy and gusto, that’s when we enter and take everything. Furthermore, the enemies will only be more honest on the negotiating table if we hurt them.”
Jasper’s words made Jake nod his head thoughtfully.
At this time, Jasper’s cell phone rang. It was from Tony.
“The state-owned enterprise’s listing plans have been prepared and can be announced at any time.”
The contents of the call shocked Jasper.
“What about the Social Security Fund?”
The listing of giant state-owned enterprises would only stimulate market confidence and accelerate the influx of private capital into the stock market, but the real killer against the United State would be the Social Security Fund, so Jasper naturally cared more about it.
“There is no problem with the procedure, but the higher-ups said that we’ll use this as a hidden trump card and will not make it public,” Tony said.
Jasper thought about it for a while and nodded. He said, “The higher-ups are so considerate.”
“The domestic and United States financial markets have all ended the first day of trading. Are you tired?” Tony asked in a concerned tone.
“I was born to work hard. I can’t help it. I have forgotten how long I haven’t slept well for.” Jasper smiled bitterly.
He was not trying to showcase how miserable favonovel.com was.
Everyone with a discerning eye could see how much favonovel.com had sacrificed during this period. Moreover, it was meaningless to do such a thing with Tony. Right now, Jasper was just expressing how favonovel.com felt.
“Thanks for all the trouble. You should go to rest first, the relevant news will be announced at 8 o’clock in the morning, there are still about 4 hours until then.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Jasper hung up the phone and glanced at the time. As Tony said, because of the time difference, when the United States stockmarket closed, it was already 4:20 in the morning in Swallow Capital time. It seemed that favonovel.com had less than four hours to rest. However, Jasper could not rest.
“Call Baz over. And also some of the more important people in the term. Call them all over.”
“If my prediction is correct, the domestic financial market and the United States financial market will launch their strongest counterattacks on the next opening day, which can largely determine the outcome of this financial war. So, we have to come up with the most secure plan before it happens.”
Jake said, “I’ll go right away, but Mr. Laine, please take this chance to rest for a while. You haven’t slept in 30 hours.”
“Those ten minutes of rest will be useless, on the contrary, it’ll make me even groggier. Go and summon them first. After this, I will give myself a long holiday.” Jasper waved his hand and said. He was feeling sore and swollen everywhere.
Jake stopped persuading him, turned around, and went out.
After that, Jasper got up and walked to the window to look at the dark sky outside the window. The night before dawn was the darkest because one could not even see their fingers even if they lifted them in front of them. There was no doubt that this would be the most difficult period.
Jasper had no idea whether favonovel.com and the domestic financial market could survive this period.
