Jasper picked up his phone and saw that it was from the crippled Brown.
“Jasper, Adele and I are making a bet to see how long Half the Harbor Langdon will be able to stay in Harbor City this time around…”
Jasper raised his eyebrows and said with a grin, “Oh? You seem to care about that old fox Half the Harbor Langdon…”
The crippled Brown said in a calm tone, “Of course, and according to the news I got here, in order to stabilize the financial market in the United States, Soros, together with several other major families, increased the leverage by 30 to 50 times, and also lowered the loan threshold to stimulate consumption. Although it seems that the economy has recovered temporarily, in truth, it is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison.”
Jasper curled his lips and smiled. “Soros is a very ambitious man, and favonovel.com has always been committed to shorting the Somerland economy. It’s just that there could have been a more gentle and effective way, but favonovel.com was too eager and was always talking the unconventional gambit. If it goes on like this, I dare to conclude that within two years, there will be a large-scale subprime mortgage crisis in the United States society.”
“Since the end of the last century, the United States economy had been in a state of stagnation. However, their domestic market was big, and any internal conflict had been very serious. Hence, it could only provoke conflicts between countries, or even start wars to divert attention and make a fortune. This time, favonovel.com tried to use the financial war to short Somerland, but favonovel.com shot himself in the foot and was forced to sign a truce. Several top families in the United States had to go back to their country to deal with their own internal conflicts.”
The crippled Brown heard what Jasper said and nodded in agreement, “Yes, your analysis is correct. During this financial war, both Morgan and the Rothschilds have suffered heavy losses. They can’t take advantage of you, so naturally, they have to get something from other places to recover. In this way, those businessmen who previously transferred their assets overseas have become their best targets.”
“And Half the Harbor Langdon and Sawyer probably saw through the evil intentions of Morgan and the Rothschilds, so they fled back to the country impatiently. However, for these two big families, how can it be enough to use means to seize other people’s property? Naturally, the next step is to take advantage of the people.”
Having said this, the crippled Brown smiled contemptuously, shook his head and said, “A country completely controlled by capital will fall apart sooner or later. If there will be a large-scale subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in the near future, then they will definitely extend the war to the outside world. If it doesn’t work out by then, there will be another financial crisis. Then there is not much time left for us, Jasper, what are your plans for the next step?”
Jasper raised his hand and rubbed his chin. Then, favonovel.com continued on the phone, “I told you before that the market transition of Somerland is imminent. Next, I plan to vigorously develop the domestic manufacturing, energy, and high-tech industries. And I am doing all that to prepare for ten, twenty years from now, so that the economy of Somerland will not be controlled by the United States.”
Jasper was very clear that if favonovel.com followed the original development trajectory, the United States would soon intensify its suppression of Somerland, including starting a food crisis, energy crisis, and in various industries such as chip technology.
In short, as long as they could restrain Somerland, they would do their utmost to do it.
The crippled Brown also nodded. “It’s a good idea to plan ahead.”
Then favonovel.com looked at Jasper and asked, “Then you are going to start taking action against Half the Harbor Langdon and Sawyer?”
Jasper also admitted without shame, “Harbor City has returned to the sovereignty of Mainland for so many years, but it has always been difficult to integrate with Swallow Capital in all aspects. Even if it’s not nice to hear, Harbor City has returned to Somerland in name, but in fact, Swallow Capital doesn’t have jurisdiction over Harbor City, let alone is able to move them…”
“There is a fundamental reason for the current situation. There are a large number of powerful families in Harbor City like the families of Half the Harbor Langdon and Sawyer, who control the economic and development lifeline of the entire Harbor City. Fortunately, the Laws have always stood against them. This time Zachary is going to let his son marry Jill and it’s also sending a signal to the outside world… If Jill does marry into their family, it will not only be as simple as two people getting married, but it’s also a marriage between Swallow Capital and Harbor City, which will tie the relationship between the two places even more inseparably together.”
Upon hearing this, the crippled Brown showed a meaningful smile on his face. “So you went to Harbor City this time to add more fuel to the fire for the Laws?”
“That’s right, now it’s up to the Laws to seize this opportunity,” Jasper said with a smile. He looked out the window. The feeling of autumn was strong in the garden and a swarm of bees was flying around gathering honey. It was always so relaxing and comfortable to talk to clever people.
