Life at the Top

Chapter 176

Zachary was in a meeting with senior executives of the group when he received Henry’s call.

He raised a hand to halt the man speaking and picked up the phone.

“It’s starting, Dad! Jasper’s plan is starting! Our stock traders need to get in position now!” Henry spoke agitatedly.

Zachary, a man who rarely lost his composure, felt his emotions go haywire at his son’s words.

“I’ve already contacted the professional team. Bring Jasper back immediately. There’s no safer or more quiet place in Harbor City than our home. The people and equipment will be waiting for him there.”

With that, Zachary ended the meeting and rushed off, leaving behind the senior executives in the room to scratch their heads and share looks of confusion.

On the way back, Zachary lined the people up while he texted Michael the details.

Since they had already decided to involve Michael in this, there was no way they would neglect him when things were happening.

Zachary was efficient. Everyone he had prepared was mostly in place by the time Jasper, Henry, and Anna had returned to Law Manor. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The manager leading the team was Zack, someone Jasper had met once before.

“Hello, Mr. Laine. I’ll be the manager leading this team of stock traders. We’ll do our best to follow your instructions.”

Zack immediately walked over to speak when he saw Jasper.

This manager who had a quick mind, worked cleanly, and acted instead of speaking had left a good impression on Jasper.

“We’ve already worked together before, so it’s just the same thing as then. Execute my instructions as fast and as efficiently as possible. Leave everything else to me,” Jasper stated as he shook Zack’s hand.

Zack replied solemnly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. These 15 stock traders here are an old team of mine. Their skills are guaranteed, and we’ve already signed an NDA of the highest order.”

Jasper nodded. He was not surprised for this was what he and Zachary had already discussed.

As the stock traders would be following Jasper’s orders directly, it could be said that they were Jasper’s left and right-hand men in this business war. What was most important was not high efficiency but rather, absolute trust.

Before these traders entered the room, the Law family’s bodyguards had taken all their phones and checked them for any form of communication devices.

Moreover, they were not allowed to take a step out of Law Manor before their mission was complete. The Law family would be in charge of everything they did, be it an intake or the letting out of food. Bodyguards were tasked to follow them even when they took bathroom breaks.

Naturally, their pay would also be a generous one.

They earned, in one day, what ordinary people could only earn in three months.

Zachary had especially cleared a large living room for this battle. When Jasper and Zack walked over, there were already 15 stock traders sitting in front of newly installed equipment, ready to begin.

Glancing at the large LED display on the wall, Jasper gave his first order for the war.

“Open up Harbor City stock market. I want the internet sector strictly monitored from now on and any change of stock prices exceeding 3% reported.

“Open a short position at the bottom. Zack, equally split and transfer the prepared 15 billion worth of funds to each of the traders’ accounts, then let me authorize it after you’re done.”

Zachary and Michael’s promised funds had already arrived earlier today and the funds that Jasper transferred from his account in Mainland had also smoothly arrived with John’s help.

At that moment, Jasper currently had a whopping 40 billion in his hands.

30 billion was from the Law family while he and Michael both contributed five billion.

This 40 billion would prove to be Jasper’s weapon to move all of Harbor City’s finances at his will.

Zack’s team was very efficient, and it was less than a minute after Jasper’s order that Zack reported the completion of tasks.

After entering the password authorization to the master computer with the highest authority, 15 billion funds were then split up and entered into each of the 15 traders’ accounts.

Zack’s heart raced as he saw the large balance before him.
