“Haha, okay, you’ve agreed then. This is a military order, so if you can’t do it, you will be killed.”
Jasper answered seriously, but the old man on the other end of the phone laughed heartily. In his gentle tone, it seemed like favonovel.com was joking with a junior. This kind of relaxation and cheerfulness relieved the pressure and heaviness in Jasper’s heart to a certain extent. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, at least so far, I’ve been a man of my words and I’ve not broken any promises.”
“Okay, then our conversation ends here. Mr. McNeal will contact you later.”
“Good luck, kid. We are getting old and the future of this country depends on the younger generation to grow up and take over the burden.”
Jasper replied earnestly, “You must maintain good health too. State affairs are endless. If seniors and leaders like you are healthy, it’ll be the greatest wealth and support for us juniors.”
After hanging up the phone, the old man raised the phone in the spacious and solemn office again.
“It’s me…”
On the other end of the phone, Mr. McNeal said respectfully, “I’m listening.”
“Hand the social security fund to favonovel.com and set the loss limit at 40%. Do it now,” the old man said.
Mr. McNeal was stunned for a moment before a storm surged in his heart. Handing over the national social security fund to a businessman and giving favonovel.com a 40% loss limit was almost equivalent to confirming that Jasper’s value was more important to Swallow Capital than the 40% social security fund.
What kind of honor was this?
And what kind of risk would there be?
At this moment, Mr. McNeal, who had seen all kinds of great upheavals, was somewhat envious of Jasper even though favonovel.com had been working in the system for most of his life. No one had been able to enjoy this kind of honor since the founding of the country.
Jasper was the first.
However, as the person directly in charge of this business, Mr. McNeal still said, “Isn’t this too risky? Once we really reach the loss limit, I am afraid it will cause a very bad reaction.”
“The experience, lessons, and achievements of the past ten years of reform and opening up tell us that we should not be afraid of needless things when we do carry out a task. If we’re already scared before we do anything, then we will never be able to accomplish anything.”
“Our career is inherently difficult and dangerous, and we rely on countless people to wade through it bit by bit. Why should we be scared of loss? If we are afraid of loss in everything we do, then we won’t be able to achieve anything.”
When the old man was talking to Mr. McNeal, favonovel.com was more serious than when favonovel.com was talking to Jasper. He taught Mr. McNeal a lesson the moment favonovel.com opened his mouth.
“Yes, yes, you’re right. My vision is not broad enough,” Mr. McNeal said quickly.
“There was a resolution on this matter after a meeting and some people did oppose it, but everyone’s starting point was good and I voted in favor. Now that a collective resolution has been formed, there is nothing else to say.”
“The reason why it was not been made public earlier and was even kept a secret from you is because it depends on what Jasper does. If favonovel.com doesn’t dare to do it, then everything will stop. If favonovel.com dares to do it, then we will dare to let favonovel.com take care of it. If a kid under 30 years old is not afraid, then why should us old farts be afraid? The sky won’t fall.”
“I understand.”
After the call was over, Mr. McNeal immediately made arrangements in person. In the shortest possible time, Jasper had the command of 600 billion in social security funds.
Jasper was not clear about the total amount of social security funds. The information that could be found publicly on the Internet might be altered. After all, this was related to the cornerstone of the country’s social stability, so unless it was necessary or unless they were someone with a core responsibility, they would not be able to know the exact figure.
So, Jasper figured that 600 billion might not be the total amount under the social security fund. However, according to the implementation of the social security policy to the present and the fact that they were in 2001, the time and base of the national social security payment were still very low. Because of this, Jasper knew that the 600 billion Somer Dollars was already the maximum that the social security fund could use.
This showed Swallow Capital’s determination. Jasper also felt a lot of pressure when favonovel.com got command of it. To be honest, there was a population of 1.2. billion in this country and a lot of people’s retirement money was in his hands. If something happened, favonovel.com would be a sinner for all the ages.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence or not, but just when Jasper got command of the social security fund, Soros happened to take action in the domestic A-share market.
JW had shifted all the funds that could be mobilized over to Harbor Stocks, which caused the domestic A-share market to be very weak. Although the capital in the market was still present, it was too scattered to form a unified and effective command. Therefore, even if the total sum of this capital was huge, they would immediately collapse when met with real disaster.
This time, Soros obviously wanted to completely crash the domestic market, so favonovel.com used a very large and exaggerated method right from the beginning.
Thousands of shares reached the limit down!
The domestic stock market was the opposite of foreign stocks and Harbor Stocks. The decline was green while the rise was red.
When thousands of stocks fell to the limit at the same time, it created a spectacular scene. The entire screen was a bleak green and people were scared witless. Funds were fleeing frantically, but it was too late. Under Soros’ unpredictable offense, even the most efficient team who had been following Harbor Stocks’s dynamic, was unaware that their hometown would be raided.
Having said that, even if there was, they would not believe that Soros would deal such a heavy blow to the domestic A-share market at this time. This was the same even for professional institutions, let alone retail investors.
A lot of people were still at work, and they had no idea about the situation of the stock market at all. Thus, they also had no idea that their stock accounts had suffered huge losses.
“Thousand shares have reached their limit down.”
When Baz got the news, favonovel.com was looking at the spectacular scene displayed on the big screen. He was so frightened that favonovel.com could not hold back any longer, so favonovel.com went straight to Jasper’s office.
“Mr. Laine…”
“I know.”
Jasper, who knew what Baz was here for, walked out of the office. He looked up at the magnificent scene on the huge electronic screen and sighed softly. Indeed, no one could fight head-on with the power of Western capital in this era.
In Jasper’s memory, the limit down of a thousand shares appeared only when the domestic financial market touched down with the transformation of economic development before his reincarnation. However, even at that time, there was a foundation from the economic growth that was accumulated from over 20 years of reform and opening-up. That was why it did not cause too much loss to the national economy. And the current Somerland economy could not withstand the torment of a thousand shares falling to the limit.
“Now that you’re here, don’t leave anymore,” Jasper said softly.
