Victory in Life
Chapter 173
Zachary smiles. "Don't hold back from talking if you need help. The Law family has a lot of wealth."
Jasper lifted the teacup and took a sip. She smiles. "I don't think it's necessary, has the Law family prepared the funds?"
Zachary's expression became firm. "Tell me how much to get out. How exactly do I need?"
"It's hard to say for now."
Jasper was rethinking the United States stock market he had been following for the past few days and was frowning. "United States stock markets are frowning in a freak storm. I noticed that someone was already trying to control the market there and they also covered a sizable area of stocks. It's a gamble of at least trillions of dollars there."
"Trillion?!" Zachary found it hard to believe despite having seen so much money.
"Using trillions as base units"
"Only the GDP of the country has that power."
"Only the country's GDP is feasible enough to be measured by trillions."
It showed how excessive and frightening that amount was.
"But that's the stock market of the United States. As the economic center of the world, no single entity or force can stop it once the strangulation begins. So what we're going to do now is focus on Stock Harbor."
Jasper thought about it for a moment before he replied,
For funding, the exact amount we will need will depend on how big the waves are made after the bubble appears in the United States. Given the current circumstances, the Law family may very well need this."
Jasper held up three fingers.
"30 billion?" Zachary frowned.
"Yes, 30 billion. You may only need to spend ten billion at first, but I would say it's safer to have 30 billion ready to mobilize at any time just in case" Jasper replied.
Zachary's expression was serious as he thought hard. A moment later, he replied, "Alright, I promise you, in terms of money, it won't be a problem."
Seeing how easily Zachary agreed, Jasper had a better understanding of how deep the wealthy Harbor City family's roots were.
"How much can Michael collect?" ask Jasper.
Zachary replied, "Michael's wealth is more fixed than liquid, or he doesn't need to sell Gladness Entertainment Movies. From what I know, I think he's got about five billion?"
Jasper thought. "I probably won't be able to gather more than five billion."
Thankfully Jasper has earned quite a lot from Harbor Stocks these days, especially from Kayden company shares. When Jasper sells his shares, he will make a profit of at least two or three times.
In addition to the funds he could transfer from the Mainland, five billion was an easy amount to collect.
At that time, he would probably have about 40 billion in funding. That was enough for this battle.
"Now we wait." Jasper smile.
Zachary opened a window in the study, letting the Harbor City's late-night cold wind into the workspace. The warm temperature inside the room immediately dropped, causing him to shiver.
"It would be a waste of your time on earth not to achieve great things, Jasper."
"I saw that Uncle Law was open-minded."
Jasper stood beside Zachary and smiled, looking at the night view of Harbor City.
"I'm not an open-minded person here. This is the aura I got from you."
Zachary turned around to pat Jasper on the shoulder.
"The Law family may be helping you right now, but inevitably I think that you're the one who's going to help the Law family in the end."
Jasper sipped his hot tea. The hot liquid entered his mouth and blistered into his throat like a mouthful of strong alcohol. Only then did he open his lips to answer.
"Because we are allies, we become one whole entity"
