Victory in Life
Chapter 17
Hugh asked for a checkbook as soon as he spoke. He wrote a check worth 15 million dollars and signed it. He then slammed her into the table.
“If you win, take it all. All this money will be yours! However, you need skills to win first,” he said.
"Wow ... Mr. Lewis really agreed to it ..."
Everyone exploded into an uproar instantly. This bet reaches up to 100 million dollars!
In 2000, even someone with only a million dollars would be put on a pedestal and known as a millionaire, let alone 100 million dollars!
Even for the high-status people who are there now, a bet worth 100 million dollars is staggering!
What's more, the one who took part in the bet was Hugh Lewis. It makes everything more interesting.
An expression of excitement appeared on everyone's faces. They all can't wait for the round to begin.
At that time, the afternoon trading session began.
The shares keep fluctuating. The market changes every second. There was no way to guess what would happen in the next second.
Jasper and Hugh stood in front of each other's computers and focused on their screens.
Jasper traced his memories to look for something. Not long after, he chose the company's shares.
Shares Horizon.
When he opened the Stock Horizons interface and saw the stock's downward trend, Jasper became confident.
According to history, this stock first fell to the limit and rose to the limit. After that, not much has changed. This was why Jasper had not chosen him as one of his investment targets before this.
It was a good time to use this as a bet.
Horizon shares are almost falling to their limits.
“I will choose Shares Horizon. I'm sure the stock will reach its limit,” said Jasper.
The audience consists of bosses in the financial industry. Of course, they are all familiar with stocks and know a lot about Horizon Stocks. They immediately burst into laughter after hearing Jasper's choice.
“Is he joking now? The stock was stagnant for three months. The bookie does not update the market or press it intentionally. This can only mean that the company is not doing well and no one wants to call it dibs. If the market goes up, it will continue to go down. You're telling me that stocks like that will reach their limit?”
“Aduh, young people are young people. This stock has fallen to its limit. I guess he closed his eyes and bet. Otherwise, how could he win Mr Lewis?”
“She's destined. He has to give up his date and assets. Huh, Mr. Lewis is right. Young people today are too rash. They have to lose something one way or another.”
“To be exact, see Navy Pharmacy, selected shares of Mr. Lewis. The company is doing very well and its shares are also stable. One can say that the stock will go up at first glance. In the meantime, take a look at the trash Jasper Laine chose. He's here to be a comedian, right?”
After Hugh finished speaking, Horizon Stock .. fell to its limit.
Everyone exploded in laughter.
"Haha. You're kidding me, Mr. Lewis. How could he have predicted something so well? This kid here took a stock that had fallen to its limit. I'm dying from laughing.”
“To be exact, the stock has already fallen to its limit. Could these trash stocks come back and counterattack? I've been trading stocks for years and I've never seen anything like it happen.”
Jasper and Wendy were not affected in the slightest by the laughter surrounding them and the red mark on the screen that showed the stock had fallen to its limit.
Seeing Wendy's indifferent attitude, Jasper admired her even more.
He was not afraid because he had memories from his past life. However, Wendy did all this based on her trust in him. How many people can do that?
“Do not worry!”
Looking at Jasper's gaze, Wendy thought she was starting to panic. He lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, “If worse be the worst, I will call my father. My father is so strong! No one would dare to do anything.”
As Wendy's fragrant scent clung onto her nose, Jasper felt like laughing and crying at the same time.
He almost forgot that Wendy was cheating on this bet. He had no intention of following the rules at all. No one could defeat his invincible and powerful father.
“His shares go up, his shares go up. Shares for Navy Pharmacy are rising,” exclaimed someone.
Everyone turned around at once. Hugh's chosen stock, Navy Pharmacy, has risen rapidly. It keeps increasing.
It seemed like the winning side had already been determined by then.
Hugh chuckles. “The stock you chose has fallen to its limit. I guess there's no need to keep wasting everyone's time, right? Miss, you're mine now" she said.
Wendy's face was expressionless. He didn't say a single thing. He just looked at Jasper.
If he nodded, he would immediately call his father and ask him to take control of the situation at hand.
Just then, John Jackson exclaimed in excitement, “His shares went up! Shares up!”
“What are you yelling for, John? Everyone can see that the Navy Pharmacy is on the rise. Do we need you to tell us?”
“Sial, I'm talking about Horizon Stocks! The one Jasper Laine chose! Damn, look at this uptrend! The stock was up too strong!”
Everyone, including Hugh, rushed to see Jasper's screen. Their hearts immediately stirred.
