Chapter 41

Dawson’s net worth had never exceeded two billion dollars even when Schuler Group was at its best. Yet here Jasper was with three billion dollars in cash.

There was no comparing them.

Jasper did not know of Dawson’s current mixed feelings and directly typed in the code for a specific stock.

Heavenly Dragon Real Estates.

Zayden’s plan had succeeded in the previous timeline, so when nosy people decided to look for leads afterward, they found that after Zayden had scammed the 600 million from Schuler Group, he took the money to buy stocks from Heavenly Dragon Real Estates.

Heavenly Dragon Real Estates had a total market value of 4.9 billion dollars.

Moreover, the owner of Heavenly Dragon Real Estates was the Hanks family. The real estate company could be considered as one of the Hanks family’s main assets.

Under Zayden’s hard work, Heavenly Dragon Real Estates’ stocks managed to triple in value and the 600 million turned into 1.8 billion dollars. Just like that, Zayden became a legend in the stock market business.

However, there was no way Jasper would let his dream come true.

Investing all three billion dollars worth of funds into his own securities account, Jasper opened a position at the current price.

City A had a large stock market, where not even the influx of funds could ripple the market capitalization that had amounted to trillions of dollars. However, with a current market price of only 4.9

billion, Heavenly Dragon Real Estates’ value was immediately pulled to its daily limit once the three billion dollars worth of funds rushed in.

The sudden and unexpected shooting up of the candlestick chart had excited all potential investors.

Even some bigger organizations were stunned. Heavenly Dragon Real Estates was currently unlisted, so it was evident that a strong investor had entered the market with how its stock price skyrocketed.

Who was this investor? What was he trying to do?

The domestic A-share market instantly surged.

Funds were the most sensitive to changes, and Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s share price had immediately attracted attention from all parties.

While everyone watched, Jasper began to liquidate his position.

The daily limit reopened and was immediately followed by a terrifying drop as Jasper depressed the prices.

The sudden drop ignited fear within investors and urged everyone to believe that it was a hidden dealer who was trying to offload stocks. As such, all of them decided to jump ship as well.

No one wanted to be a fool.

Therefore, as if it was on a roller coaster ride, Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stock prices first skyrocketed before finally plummeting into the void.

Such fluctuation resulted in heavy losses for numerous people.

Those who bore the brunt were those who had heavier positions.

Yet, this was only the first step of Jasper’s plan.

Watching Heavenly Dragon Real Estates’ stock price drop, Jasper reopened his position and began to slowly consume shares that investors were underselling.

Minutes ticked by and Heavenly Dragon Real Estates’ stock prices had yet to cease falling, for Jasper was using a large number of funds to undertake them.

As long as the stock price was close to the down limit, he would take it all—until there was no more of it left.

Now, all retailers and organizations understood what he was doing.

Some divine being was trying to deal Heavenly Dragon’s stocks!

The rise and fall of Heavenly Dragon’s stocks were at Jasper’s fingertips.

At that moment, Jasper seemed to have become the god that controlled Heavenly Dragon’s stocks.

If he wanted their prices to rise, they would rise.

If he wanted them to drop, then not even the gods could save them from dropping.

Unless the opposing party could come up with enough funds to overpower Jasper’s and dump him, it was game over for everyone else.

However, Jasper stared at the two billion funds he still had in his account and it was evident that no one could stop him.

Sure, those organizations had a large number of funds in their hands, but why would they come and fight for Heavenly Dragon’s stock prices against him for no reason? They were not even related to

Heavenly Dragon Real Estate.

As such, there was no way. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Doing so might even result in losses to them.

At the same time, in one of the state’s many luxurious mansions, Zayden received a phone call.

The person on the other end sounded terrified and nervous. “Mr. Hanks! Quick, look at Heavenly Dragon’s stocks. It’s almost dropping to its lower limit! We’ve lost 200 million dollars today!”
