Victory in Life
Chapter 19
No one wants to spark Hugh's anger when he just lost everything. Everyone stay quiet.
“I have dominated the stock market for many years. When I made my fortune, the boy was still playing on the ground. If he thinks that he can beat me through this alone, he should keep dreaming!” shouts Hugh. He turned around and left the place.
A small wrinkle formed on John's face. He's worried about Jasper. Hugh is not wrong. He is a very strong force in the stock market. Since he had made a huge loss, he would not let it go so easily.
However, Jasper did not know about any of this. He brought Wendy who was still shocked by the shocking events before, out of the Royce Villa.
“How do you know for sure that Horizon Shares will go up?” Wendy could not help but ask him.
Jasper showed no signs of doubt and fear from the start. He seemed confident in how the results would change. If Wendy had not known that it was impossible to predict stock trends, she would have thought that Jasper had predicted everything perfectly.
"I believe in my instincts" Jasper said with a smile on his face, "Nobody knows if stocks will rise for sure. I often just follow my instincts.”
Wendy was made silent. This reason was unbelievable, but it seemed like it was the best explanation for everything that happened.
"Aren't you afraid of losing that big bet?" ask Wendy.
Jasper looked at him sharply. "I won't lose to you by my side" he replied.
His words made Wendy press her lips into a firm line. At a loss for words, all he felt was his heart pounding as it pounded.
"What nonsense are you talking about .." he muttered, avoiding his gaze instinctively.
Although he blamed her for saying nonsense, her attitude and tone of voice revealed how embarrassed and confused she was. Wendy, who looks like a subtle goddess most of the time, also has a human touch to her.
Because everything was already interrupted and Wendy did not want to continue asking about the bet earlier.
The two travel back to town. After saying goodbye to Jasper, Wendy left.
Jasper didn't ask him to stay. Although he would definitely stay back to accompany her if she asked for it, there was no need to do so.
There are many days ahead. Jasper still has plenty of time to build a relationship with Wendy.
The next day, Jasper went to the Commercial Bank to deposit the 50 million dollars he won from Hugh and transfer the amount to his matchmaking account. He then returned home and did not leave the house after that.
If he does not remember wrongly, today will be the day of the start of the movement in the international crude oil futures market!
It all started because a fire broke out in one of the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East.
It was originally a small fire in an oil field that could be extinguished easily. However, an unexpected gust of strong wind caused the fire to blow up the three largest oil pipelines in the oil field.
The whole world was then engulfed in madness.
Currently, crude oil prices are still below. The current price is the lowest in recent years. However, this incident caused the price of crude oil to jump sharply.
Although the price dropped after that, the price of crude oil never fell again throughout the following years.
After he planned the course of action he was about to take, Jasper opened up his software.
He has 62 million dollars in funds in his current account. Under the influence of 50 times, it will have an operational principle of 3.1 billion dollars.
Although at the moment all the money belongs to the bank, he believes that his account balance will reach the amount he wants.
According to the exchange rate, this would be 360 million dollars.
Even with the experience of two lives, Jasper felt somewhat anxious at this moment. This was 360 million dollars in 2000. With this money, Jasper would become extremely wealthy and be able to receive countless profits.
Crude oil is now priced at 28 dollars per barrel. The fire hasn't happened yet.
Jasper had no more doubts. He completed the deal at once and bought the futures in the direction he wanted. He bought thousands of barrels at a time. Orders of 14,400 lots are immediately submitted in the list.
360 Million dollars entered the market. Swallowed by the international crude oil stock trading market in the blink of an eye.
Jasper heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that the trade had been successfully completed. The next step is to wait patiently.
