Jon froze. He froze on the spot!
He expected to see the stock soar. Instead, favonovel.com saw green lines that represented a falling stock price.
He thought that his eyes must have fooled him. Otherwise, how could Zimmer Corporation’s stock price have changed so dramatically overnight?
Jon’s hand quivered as favonovel.com reached out to turn off the stock chart. Jon then lit himself a cigarette and took two large puffs.
“Whew! Whew!” After taking several deep breaths, Jon reopened the stock chart with trembling hands.
Swoosh!
Everything favonovel.com saw was still green. Besides that, the green line dropped sharply again from where it was earlier.
It dropped again!
Stock charts were generally meandering curves. Today, Zimmer Corporation’s stock trend was terrifying. It plummeted like it was falling off a cliff. It almost became a straight line. Besides that, it was falling faster and faster.
“B*stard! Who… Who’s behind all this?” Jon raised his fist and smashed the table.
Even if favonovel.com was stupid, favonovel.com would suspect someone was manipulating Zimmer Corporation’s stocks. Otherwise, it would not have changed so quickly.
Before Jon could call his staff, favonovel.com saw his money in the stock market shrinking sharply. A large number of people began to sell their shares. They cashed out in stocks as if they agreed to do it at the same time.
Jon’s eyes were about to pop out of his head at the sight of it. He was desperate to hit the pause button to stop it. However, there was nothing favonovel.com could do when participating in such a large market.
He could not stop the investors from selling. Therefore, favonovel.com could only look on helplessly as his stock price dropped.
“B*stard! B*stard! B*stard!” Jon turned pale as favonovel.com shuddered and pounded his fist against the table.
He could not keep his cool with what was happening.
“Sir! Sir!” The female assistant pushed the door open without knocking and entered in a panic.
When favonovel.com came in and saw the look on Jon’s face, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com knew what had happened. However, favonovel.com reported it anyway.
“Sir, our stock price is plummeting fast. Investors have sold their stocks to cash out as they’re scared of having their capital getting lost. Sir, we don’t have enough funds to sustain our business if this goes on. We can’t even pay our overheads.”
A group of company executives entered the office again after the female assistant said that. There was the finance manager, operations director, board member.
“Mr. Zimmer, there is a shortage of capital that we can’t sustain our operations any longer.”
“Our stock has plummeted and is continuing to do so.”
“Sir, our stock crashed. It crashed!”
The reports were like rubbing salt into the wound for Jon. He had expected this to happen when favonovel.com saw the stock price crash. However, favonovel.com did not expect it to come so soon.
He was given a hard slap in the face before even having time to take emergency measures.
“Mr. Zimmer, what do we do?”
“What shall we do?”
“Mr. Zimmer, say something!”
“Didn’t you say everything’s under control?”
“The shareholders are going to sell their shares if you say nothing!”
The crowd gathering in the office increased as they urged Jon.
Jon leaned back in his chair and gawked at the crowd. The faces in front of favonovel.com seemed like demons trying to take his life!
Zimmer Corporation had had a smooth-sailing time under Jason’s protection. Whatever good policies there were, they would be the first to know and get chosen first.
Jason would also inform them of any major changes as soon as possible.

Zander had come back with Harry.
River City only knew there was a mysterious big shot in town, but they were afraid to talk about it or speculate.
Jason went out on a limb and found Jon to warn them. However, Jason had not sent them any more messages these days.
Jon did not expect it to get in trouble so soon. He thought the Zimmer family no longer needed Jason. Now favonovel.com knew how naive favonovel.com was.
Jason had fended off all difficulties for them and allowed the Zimmer family to develop smoothly. It gave Jon a false sense of how easy it was to do business. Therefore, they now could not withstand stress and risk.
“Whew!” Jon pondered for a long time before picking up his phone to call Jason.
