Harbor Stock’s lunch break was over and the greatly anticipated afternoon market officially opened at 2:30 p.m.
However, a strange movement on Seatreasures Group’s share prices appeared once the afternoon market opened.
The share price that had been locked on the limit down this morning had begun to shift again.
Then, Seatreasures Group released an official statement.
The group, alongside several financial organizations, announced that they had signed a term sheet where Seatreasures Group’s chairman Mr. Alban Ball would pledge 24.13% of his shares in return for a total investment of 5 billion Somer Dollars from the financial organizations.
Seatreasures Group had a current market value of 40 billion. Ignoring the situation with premium shares, 24.13% was worth at least 9.7 billion. Yet, he had sold his shares for 5 billion dollars.
It was not a profitable trade no matter how one looked at it.
Despite this, there was no other option. At such a time, Seatreasures Group had no other choice but to accept reality.
After this statement was released, Seatreasures Group made another official announcement stating that these 5 billion Somer Dollars will all be used to recycle their company’s shares on Harbor Stocks.
With that, the humongous purchase order had managed to completely devour the millions of orders at the limit down.
At that moment, both organizations and retail investors sought out Jasper with widened eyes.
Despite this, Jasper, the first to attack this morning, had completely vanished.
The organizations that followed Jasper into the market were angry and exasperated once they realized that Jasper had left.
Jasper had either gotten wind of what was going to happen beforehand, or he had arrived at a deal with Alban. Otherwise, there was no way Jasper would leave in the afternoon after earning such a huge amount that morning.
Not that it mattered, since everyone still made money in the end.
“But Mr. Ball, do we continue with the plan involving Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City branch?”
Alban harrumphed and replied, “Of course. Why should we stop?
“We’ve already lost so much, so how can we let Gale that old man continue living comfortably? Get to it right now. I’d like to see the look on that old man’s face once I get rid of Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s power in Waterhoof City.”
At the same time, Jasper had already split the profits with Henry.
“It’s such a great feeling.”
Henry grinned so wide that his lips reached the back of his head as he looked at the money in his account.
Jasper had immediately liquidated all his positions once the afternoon market opened. Thanks to the last burst of funds, the 5 million Henry had invested, which was more like a little more than 4 million, had returned to his bank account as 10 million.
