Life at The Top novel Chapter 1863

“Short sale the subprime market

completely and push the subprime

mortgage crisis to its peak. Today, the

four major investment banks will have to

lose something, which will serve as burial

offerings for the losses Somerland has

suffered.”

Jasper’s words destined that today would g

o down in the annals of history.

As soon as the United States financial

market opened, the market was turbulent,

even before JW Foundation could make a

move.

It was the age of information and news

could be delivered extremely fast. An

event in the northern hemisphere could b

e transmitted to the southern hemisphere

in an instant, much less the tragic

incident of Somerland’s stock and futures

markets being sniped by Wall Street

capital in the United States.

Therefore, the United States financial

market had long been psychologically

prepared to face the insane revenge

carried out JW Foundation. Even so, they did not expect the

determination and strength of JW

Foundation to be so great.

Five minutes after the opening, the

already crippled subprime market was

once again shorted by JW Foundation.

The sky-high empty orders filled the

subprime market with the smell of blood.

Falls, falls, and falls!

Everything was falling!

As long as it was a traded product, it was

falling.

Financial products shrunk dramatically,

and their market values were depreciating

with every passing minute and second.

Under such high pressure, a magical

scene appeared.

There were only sell orders in the

subprime market.

“Today JW Foundation will inevitably

launch bloody revenge. At this time, no

idiot will enter the market to take them on.”.

The president of Morgan Bank frowned

and said.

“But if this continues, the entire market

will crash,” the assistant said cautiously.

“Let it crash then. This is what we

expected anyway, and they have chosen a

bank as the sacrifice to calm Jasper’s

anger, isn’t it?”

The president of Morgan Bank had a half

smile on his face. It was a rather weird

expression.

He looked as if he was basking in

schadenfreude, but at the same time, he

looked as if he was having mixed feelings.

“I didn’t think there would come a day

where we would need to quell the enemy’s

anger with a sacrificial lamb.”

The first to bear the brunt of the collapse o

f the subprime market was Layman

Investment Bank, which had accumulated

a large number of assets in the subprime

market and could not escape because of

the lock-up.

Today, Layman Investment Bank

remained the same, but the people inside changed.

Dugg was no longer sitting in the

chairman’s office, but instead, it was Half

-the-Harbor Langdon.

At this moment, Half-the-Harbor

Langdon had a gloomy expression on his

face as he listened to Kayden’s report.

“Dad, if the market continues like this,

Layman’s net asset value will keep

dropping, and on the contrary, our debt

will grow higher and higher.

“I have read the financial reports of

investment banks. The entire investment

Kayden looked at the seemingly unremarkable documents and suddenly got a bad premonition.

After forcibly suppressing his anxiety, he picked up one of the documents and opened it.

“Florida Douglas Bank Bankruptcy Claim Form.

“Arizona Angel Bank Bankruptcy Claim Form.

“St. Aegis Bank of Maine Bankruptcy

Claim Form.”

They were countless bank bankruptcy

claim application forms splayed on the table, and Kayden’s brains were almost boiling as he read them.

“What the hell is going on? Did these

banks go bankrupt together at an agreed

time?”

Kayden was not a fool. It could be seen from the date of application that these banks, which had long been insolvent were just forcing themselves through this. Then, they all filed for bankruptcy claims immediately after Kayden and his father bought Layman Investment Bank.

He would not believe anyone who claimed that this was not a trap.

“You see it too.” Half-the-Harbor Langdon was speaking i

na monotonous voice. He continued, ”

I’m afraid that we have fallen into a well

designed trap.”

“The claim of these three banks alone is a

s high as 74 million US Dollars. Dad, if

this goes on, the insurance contract alone i

s enough to suck our blood dry, let alone

Layman’s!”

Kayden gritted his teeth and said, “It’s no

wonder that these punks insisted that we

provide insurance to small and medium –

sized banks. They even agreed to make

concessions on the price just for the sake o

f this. It turns out they wanted us to take

the fall for this.”

“It’s too late to say that now.”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon looked at

Kayden seriously and said, “I give you the

right to use those 20 billion Harbor

Dollars. You must pull Layman out of the

quagmire of the subprime market.”

Kayden said bitterly, “Dad, it’s not

enough. It might help if we have 20 billion

US Dollars, 20 billion Harbor Dollars

won’t do anything in the current market conditions.”

“Go find Jasper.”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon said suddenly. He gritted his teeth and continued, “Use the property rights of all our industries in the mainland in exchange for him releasing all of Layman’s position contracts. If he is willing, the 20 billion will be enough.”
