Life at The Top novel Chapter 1783

In order to carry out actions of national interest, there were several special banks i n Somerland that did not offer commercial banking services to the people.

These special banks were rarely known to ordinary people too.

However, for the rich and famous in

Harbor City, the most familiar

institutions that fell under this category

were National Bank and SBS Bank.

National Bank was the National Development Bank, which was mainly. responsible for the domestic loan business of Somerland to other countries and regions.

To put it bluntly, it was to increase international influence and strive for geopolitical superiority in the national financial bank. It specialized in lending money to other poorer countries.

As for national development, it would be

SBS Bank.

Its business was more comprehensive and systematic, and correspondingly, its powers were also greater.

This was especially true for its power over the foreign exchange reserves, which gave it part of the functions of a central bank. Therefore, among the several special banks, SBS Bank was definitely the most superior.

Therefore, when they heard the contents of f Jasper’s call through the video call, everyone present was relieved.

Everyone knew that Jasper was backed by the mainland and Swallow Capital would never sit idly by during this situation, but there was still no clear attitude and plan, which would make anyone still feel nervous.

Now that they had a guarantee, they did

not harbor anymore doubts. “Okay, Mr. Carson, please wait for my

instructions.”

After saying this, Jasper temporarily hung up the phone. Then, he said to a group of Harbor City big shots in the video, ”

Everyone, are you much more relieved now?”

Mr. Boyle laughed and said, “Jasper, it’s

not that we don’t believe you, but it’s

better to be safe when it comes to such a

big thing, don’t you think?”

Jasper smiled and said, “Of course. In my opinion, your concerns are completely reasonable. In fact, this is also due to my negligence. I should have personally visited Harbor City to meet you all and listen to your teachings.

“However, I have too many things to take care of, plus the enemy sitting opposite us didn’t plan to give me much time to rest, s o that’s why I didn’t handle this matter appropriately. Please forgive me, elders.”

Listen to this.

Whether someone knew how to handle

issues, knew how to speak, or was favored

by people, all came down to the details.

Jasper’s remarks made everyone present

except Zachary smile and feel comfortable.

Everything else aside, Jasper’s current.

status alone made it commendable that he

could be so humble.

Mr. Boyle smiled, turned his head, and said to Zachary, “Mr. Law, you have found a good son-in-law.”

As soon as these words came out, Zachary

glanced at Mr. Boyle and said

indifferently, “Why didn’t I know that

you’re so talkative before?”

Mr. Boyle regretted what he said immediately.

With Jasper’s status, things around him

were no longer a secret.

Everyone knew that Jasper had a partner i n the mainland. Although Jasper having multiple partners was almost an open secret in Harbor City, the openness of this discussion also depended on who they were.

If the subject was the princess of the Laws whereby her role was that of the mistress, then it would really be taboo.

“Okay, that’s all for now,”

Zachary waved his hand and said to Jasper

Holding the warm papers that had just

been printed out in his hand, Jasper

frowned while drinking water.

“More than 2 billion US Dollars was

withdrawn from the subprime market just

now?”

Jasper put down the glass, looked up at Jake, and asked, “Did you identify the source of the funds?”

Jake said with a strange expression, “I did… It was Hattaway Investment and Management Group”

“Benett.”

Jasper was amused.

“It seems that my old friend is not optimistic about the subprime market in the United States either.”

Jasper continued while squinting slightly, “But Benett’s divestment at this time will attract the attention of many forces, especially Wall Street and the Feds. They may even suspect that we have reached some kind of cooperation with Benett.” “This is our chance,” Conrad said softly.

Jasper pondered for a moment and said, ” Invest 80 billion US Dollars into the United States subprime market to go short. Also, notify Harbor City to have them follow up, but the amount cannot exceed 80 billion US Dollars.”

After thinking about it, Jasper picked up

the phone and called Reuben.

“Please keep an eye on the United States subprime market immediately. I intend to draw out Layman and Quantum Fund’s main funds to hedge against them. Once the Feds join the game, please take action

immediately according to the situation

Reuben’s calm but powerful voice came from the other end of the phone, “Got it, but what if other capital on Wall Street join in the game before the Feds while you’re busy fighting against Layman and Quantum Fund?”

Jasper replied decisively, “You don’t need to do anything.”

Reuben said, “But according to our assessment, even with the Harbor City funding, you will not be able to fight Wall Street. The difference in magnitude is too large and you may not be able to hold on until the Feds show up.”

Jasper replied insipidly, “I am the commander-in-chief, and your task is to follow my orders.”

Reuben was silent for a while. Then, he said, “I understand,”

After Jasper put down the phone, he lifted his head to say to the people in the command room, “Start the operation. We will call this… Operation Slaughter Eagle. “Slaughter as in slaughterhouse, and Eagle as in bald eagle.”
