Life at the Top

Chapter 183

At that moment, calls were blowing up Zachary’s phone.

They were all from Harbor City’s rich families, some of whom even held senior positions in the government of Harbor City.

They had one goal.

In face of Harbor City’s current economic crisis that was so severe, the rich were frantic and lost. They needed to communicate a plan.

As the wealthy held the life of Harbor City’s economy in their hands, they were the only ones with the power to turn the tides at such a time.

Even Michael had received similar phone calls.

Both Zachary and Michael were torn between feeling ecstatic and sorrowful.

For the bigger dip the stock market took, the more they earned. Yet letting it continue to drop was no different than killing the goose that laid golden eggs.

Not to mention that the Law family’s prestigious image would be destroyed if the outside world came to know about the situation.

“Not only are the wealthy families frantic, but even the government of Harbor City is urging for action too, Jasper. They need to discuss a plan to save the city. What’s your say in this?”

Zachary had begun to see Jasper as an equal, instead of someone from the younger generation, before he knew it.

Otherwise, Zachary would not ask Jasper for his opinion on something so crucial.

“Saving them goes without saying,” Jasper replied with certainty.

Even Michael could tell.

“Harbor City’s economy is a base. It can drop, but it must not be destroyed.”

Jasper glanced at the stock market that continued to fall without restraint. Harbor City currently had around 1,300 stocks on the market and more than 900 of them had reached the limit down.

With the way things were going, at least 1,000 stocks would reach the limit down before the market closed this evening.

This was a situation that Harbor Stocks had never encountered since its first opening.

To Jasper, Harbor City would turn to be one of his biggest golden cash cows, leading to the burst of growth in his wealth in the future. As such, how would he allow others to destroy this cow of his?

That was no different from getting sacked.

Logically and emotionally speaking, Jasper would not let such a thing occur.

Zachary nodded. “Michael and I will talk to them tomorrow.”

“More than a thousand stocks have reached the limit down!” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Zack’s voice suddenly rang out.

Jasper and the other two turned to look. The scene that was talked about by countless people in his past life had finally appeared.

On the limit down, the number of companies’ stocks: 1,001!

Like some sort of signal, the Hansel Index’s defenses completely fell and dropped by more than 1,000 points!

If one were to look at the market for Harbor Stocks right now, all the stocks they would be able to see were gathered at the limit down, and the entire screen before them would be filled with tragic light green lines.

“Profit report,” Jasper demanded.

“Hansel Index closed at 8,700 points. Total account balance amounts to 45 billion, a total profit of 30 billion!”

15 billion in capital had brought them 30 billion worth of profit.

While everyone had expected it, their hearts could not help but shudder as Zack announced the figure.

Zachary wore an expression of utter shock. Despite being a hero in the business world, he could not stop his heart from shaking in excitement.

“Is… this the capital market? Earring 30 billion worth of profit in a day?!”
