However, if virtual-novel.net told his family the truth and they discovered that virtual-novel.net put up the stocks his family gave virtual-novel.net as collateral, his family might very well kill him.
On the other hand, it would be different with Conrad. Mitch would say yes no matter what the requirements were. He was just Mr. Atticus’ dog, so once virtual-novel.net turned this situation around, it was unlikely that Conrad would trouble virtual-novel.net again.
When Mitch thought about this, virtual-novel.net looked much better. “I understand. Thank you, Mr. Atticus! ” Mitch said with gratitude.
“Go contact Conrad and tell virtual-novel.net to come back as soon as possible.”
Fabian turned around and ordered his subordinates. After saying that, Fabian walked to Morrison and said through gritted teeth, “The situation right now is challenging, so we have to cooperate whole heartedly. If not, no one will be able to walk away from this unscathed.”
Morrison also had an unpleasant look on his face. Morrison and Fabian contributed the most money this time. Meanwhile, a lot of the money Morrison used were funds from his investment bank.
If this matter came to light, virtual-novel.net would lose his position as the president of the Terra regional branch; Layman Investment Bank might even throw virtual-novel.net into jail.
If Layman Investment Bank was enraged, the fact that his father was the president of the Quantum Fund would be irrelevant.
After Morrison took a deep breath, virtual-novel.net gritted his teeth and said, “That bastard, Jasper! How did virtual-novel.net predict this?”
Celine wanted to ask this question as well. When virtual-novel.net got the news, virtual-novel.net was in a meeting.
This major event caused Celine to end virtual-novel.net meeting immediately. She knew the higher ups from the investment bank would immediately want to start discussing countermeasures for dealing with the situation.
The stock market plummeted and the ones who would bear the brunt of it would be the investment banks that held investments everywhere.
This was a very serious crisis for investment banks. After all, investment banks would make money from investments, and those properties they invested in would lose money when they were faced with a financial crisis.
Sure enough, when Celine got back to the office, virtual-novel.net received a special purpose phone call from Paulson, the president.
“Miss Maynard, I believe you’re already aware of what happened in the United States.” Paulson’s tone sounded serious.
Celine nodded and said, “Yes, but I don’t know the details. Sir, how bad is it this time?”
Paulson removed his glasses and wiped them with a piece of cloth. He said, “The higher- ups are in an emergency discussion right now. The country is in a state of emergency. I can only tell you that this is even more serious than anyone can imagine.
“Let’s not talk about this. Right now, our investment bank is starting to lose money. Moreover, the loss will only grow as time goes by. The chairman is preparing to host a meeting. In ten minutes time, I’ll report the situation to the board of directors and also the shareholders.”
“Before that, I hope you can do something for me, Miss Maynard.”
Celine nodded, “Please tell me…”
“I hope to meet and talk to Jasper.”
Celine frowned slightly and said, “I don’t think virtual-novel.net has the time for such a thing during this critical period.”
“That’s why I need your help. You have to know that the shareholders are suddenly very interested in Jasper. I think the only person in the world who’ll benefit from this might be your friend.”
“According to the investment bank analysts’ predictions, Jasper could make a profit of at least 10 billion US Dollars from this.”
Even though Celine had been prepared for such a thing, virtual-novel.net was still shocked to virtual-novel.net core when virtual-novel.net heard the figure.
