Regardless of whether the career of his
opponents was successful or not, or
whether his enemy was strong or weak,
Jasper always remembered that he could
never regard himself as the world’s most
intelligent person and treat the rest as
fools.
Especially when the plan to go against the
United States financial market this time
had lasted for half a year. The first attack t
o the present had lasted for more than
four months. In nearly one year, Jasper
could say that every step and every
strategy he had made was very cautious
and it was like walking on thin ice.
Even when JW Foundation succeeded in
triggering a financial crisis in the
subprime market and when JW
Foundation was at the of popularity
and was touted by the global financial
media as being able to overthrow the
United States financial companies’ throne
by themselves, Jasper was also very clear
about one thing.
That was, the United States was a powerful opponent that was impossible to defeat. The immediate result right now came from the United States’ own problems, and it was also achieved with the acquiescence of the people in the United States who had formulated the global economic rules as well as their secret cooperation.
Because the United States itself also needed someone to solve their domestic economic problems.
So, there were no absolute enemies or friends in this world. If you really believed that a certain party was your enemy and then you captured them to fight them to the death, and you even insisted on sacrificing your people just to defeat them, then you would be a fool.
Hence, to this day, did Jasper do all this just to break the United States economy?
Not unless Jasper was crazy.
Even if he were crazy, Jasper was not so crazy that he would seriously think that he had this ability.
To be honest, aside from Jasper, even if the whole of Somerland was on board with this and were determined to lose all their money to fight a deadly financial war with the United States, then the result was that Somerland would return to the time when it was mainly focused on agriculture overnight while nothing would happen to the United States.
Only 20 years later would Somerland be rising while the United States was declining. Only around 2020 would Somerland truly have the confidence and strength to say no to the United States.
Right now, it would just be wishful
“Hence, it is imperative to start the stock repurchase plan in advance.”
At this time, Granger looked at the chief financial officer, who was hesitant to speak, and asked, “Henrik, what do you think?”
The chief financial officer said, “I agree with everyone’s opinions, but everyone must be aware that due to the financial crisis, the company’s performance has fallen sharply, and the investment department’s investment is basically operating at a loss. I am still worried about this year’s financial statements because it will look ugly, but if the repurchase program is launched in advance, a large amount of capital will be required, which will affect the normal operations of the company.”
Frowning slightly, Granger asked, ”
According to the current plan, how much capital is needed and how much capital does the company have?”
“The overall repurchase plan will require a t least 1.8 billion to 2.2 billion US Dollars, but the funds we can use cannot exceed 800 million US Dollars. Once exceeded, it will affect our other plans, such as the development of new systems and many plans for the acquisition of other
companies. A lot of our plans are directly related to the fundamental interests of the company and shareholders… Our shortfall requires at least 1.2 billion US Dollars.”
The words of the chief financial officer silenced most people in the conference room.
Everyone knew that this had to be done.
However, the question was how and where would they get the money to do it?
Back then, Weresoft would not take hundreds of millions of dollars seriously. The ones that slipped from the spaces between their fingers would be enough..
However, the problem was that the current economic environment was not good. Weresoft’s profitable funds could not just lie in the bank and be left alone. They all had foreign investment plans and the financial crisis had caused serious losses in these funds. Plus, along with some project expenditures and fund retentions, the liquid funds that Weresoft could take out were sorely lacking at the moment.
Granger was obviously prepared for this. H e said, “I will talk to investors about this matter. Whether it is my share with other shareholders or my personal expenses, eventually this money will definitely go to the company’s account. There will be at least 2 billion US Dollars.
“So, you just do what you should do. Weresoft won’t be ruined by those despicable punks.”
Granger’s statement made the chief financial official breathe a sigh of relief.
“If we can get a capital injection of 2 billion US Dollars, then the repurchase plan will be no problem at all.”
