Chapter 21
Hearing these words, even Wendy Schuler, who was used to seeing wealth, felt suffocated. “Oh my,” Wendy murmured, “With this rapid increase in wealth, why do I feel like I’m dreaming?” “This is just the beginning.” The corner of Jasper's mouth curled up. In his memory of the next ten years to come, this wave of crude oil prices was the most likely opportunity for him to get rich overnight. It would be gone if he missed it. There would be many other opportunities to make money, but there would not be another chance for him to make so much so fast. Many of his plans in the future relied on this opportunity to work out. Speaking of which, he had to thank Hugh Lewis for the 50 million. Otherwise, Jasper could still earn some money but not nearly as much. The continuous uptick of news immediately hit the international market like a tornado, and everyone's panic was directly reflected in the futures market. The prices skyrocketing in a short period of time blinded countless peo

The highest price of crude oil in history was 59 dollars. Following this, as the strongest powerhouse announced the release of some crude oil inventories, the price of crude oil would begin to ebb, so this was the perfect timing to withdraw while the going was good. When the market was most active and Jasper’s large volume order of 11,400 was listed, it immediately caused a reaction from the market. It was wiped out almost instantly, and the outside world began to speculate which institution was holding so much crude oil in its hands.There were no secrets in the capital market. Soon, news of this large order from a retail investor came out, which immediately caused a sensation in the global financial community. Everyone wanted to find out about this mysterious retail investor. At this time, however, Jasper and Wendy were huddled together in the small study room, staring at the dazzling string of numbers in his account. “After deducting costs and commissions, we made a profit

The lady boss served a plate of snacks. Listening to the couple’s conversation, she smiled and said, “You young couple seem to have a really good relationship. Little lady, did your boyfriend make money today? Don’t just ask him to buy you dinner. He has to buy you some clothes too.” In the eyes of the snack bar owner, Jasper had made hundreds or thousands at best. She would never have imagined that the man sitting in her shop and eating a fried nugget had just earned 3.1 billion. Wendy chuckled. “Did you hear that?” “I heard that. Buy, buy everything.” Jasper picked up a fried nugget and brought it to Wendy’s mouth. “Hurry up and eat. You must be starving.” Seeing the fried nugget in front of her mouth, Wendy was stunned for a while, wondering if she should open her mouth and eat it. Before this, when the lady boss mentioned their relationship, Wendy did not care. Rather, she did not want to care. Now, however, Jasper’s behavior made her a little bit shy. Jasper also notic

“Send out my instructions. Keep Jasper Laine's personal information strictly confidential. No one is allowed to disclose it!” John ordered. He knew very well about Jasper’s current status and position. It would not be a good thing if such a large customer was taken away. Furthermore, any leaked information would cause unnecessary trouble for Jasper as well. “Yes!” Harold nodded, understanding what the president meant. He immediately went to carry out the order. In the year 2000, at this specific timeframe, the business models of most domestic industries were still at a very basic stage. In this era when stock trading was still new, making billions of dollars in profits from the futures market overnight was simply a myth. Jasper knew that he could not hold back the news about him making money in the crude oil futures market and that it would cause a sensation, but he did not expect this matter to cause pandemonium. Online portals and physical newspapers immediately publish

“Jasp, you asked me to help you pay attention to the news about the house a few days ago. I heard something today. “There’s a villa area in the city. It has been more than half a year since its opening, but the sales are very bleak. The developers can’t support it anymore, so they’re doing promotional activities.” “The villa area in the city? Is it called Thornton Park?” Jasper asked suddenly. “How do you know?” Wendy asked in surprise. Of course, Jasper knew about it. In his previous life, the boss of the company he worked for was the owner of Thornton Park. Thornton Park was indeed a villa area launched by local real estate developers in early 2000. It was mainly targeted at successful entrepreneurs and business owners, but the positioning was too high-end and advanced. As a result, the number of units sold in the two years after the opening did not even exceed 20%. Later, the developer went bankrupt and the project was taken over by others. It did not take long for the r

"I didn't expect to meet you at this place, Wendy."Janice yanked the man beside her and came over to Wendy. She glanced at Jasper beside her and said disdainfully, "Wendy, you do have a special preference. Is he your boyfriend?""Dear, who is this lady?"The man beside Janice looked at Wendy, immediately attracted by her gorgeous looks and vibe.If it were not for Janice's presence, he would have gone forth to court her."She was the goddess of our university, but after so many years, she's still the same way, always putting on an act as if she's very pure!" Janice hooked her arms around the man's arm and looked at Wendy proudly.During their times at university, they were both goddesses of the university. However, regardless of looks or the vibes they gave off, Janice would always lose to Wendy. That led to her having a miserable life in university.Janice always bore the grudge. She did not expect to bump into her at this place. Besides, Wendy was with a very old-fashioned ma

Dickson looked at Wendy with a perverted look, and this made Janice feel hateful that she started gritting her teeth. She quickly got herself involved and held onto Dickson's arm, saying, "You naughty, I'm right here and you're flirting with another woman."Dickson burst into laughter. He raised his palm and slapped Janice's butt, saying, "Don't worry, the one I love most is definitely you."As he was saying, Dickson glanced at Jasper coldly before snorting. "Hey scumbag, didn't you hear me asking you to leave? Why are you still standing here?"And you bunch of saleswomen, are you all deaf? Or do you all think that this scumbag can afford to buy a house here? Let me tell you all, if you guys don't chase him out, I'm not going to buy!"Dickson's comment made one of the saleswomen, who was slightly older and seemed to be the leader, grit her teeth."Sir, as you've seen, we're currently quite busy. We can't entertain you, so please leave."Her comment had portrayed their attitude.

Dickson knew about John Jackson. After all, his company's loan was under Commercial Bank. There were a few occasions when he wanted to get to know this powerful president, but John never spared him any dignity. He did not even have a chance to enter his office.However, currently looking at John's action of trying to get on the other party’s good terms made the corners of Dickson’s mouth twitch. He found that behavior and expression rather familiar. That was the lowly expression he made when facing John."Mr. Jackson."Jasper was astonished as well to meet John here and shook his hand with a smile."Mr. Laine, you're here to buy houses?" John asked.Jasper nodded and looked at the crowd, saying in a way that seemed calm, "That's right! Initially, I thought of having a look at the houses and if there's a suitable one, I'd buy. But the service here has let me down. Just because of two people, they want to chase me out. So, here I am, about to leave this place."His comment may have

Dickson glared at Janice, who was the cause of the entire havoc, and said coldly, "You’d better shut your crap. If he plans to deal with me later on, I'll be in trouble. For now, we'll watch right here. Besides, I'll be able to prepare myself if I know how powerful he is!"Dickson, who just blurted the comment, heard Jasper saying his first words from the sofa of the nearby client room."The houses look not bad, and the price is cheap. I'm planning to buy all of it."Those few simple words echoed like thunderbolts in the quiet sales department.Everyone, including John, wore an astonished expression while looking at Jasper.People who always put on an act were those who liked to show off, but this time, Jasper did not plan to put on an act. These houses had the potential of rising in market value by ten times in the future. Whoever purchased one would earn from it. He would not miss this opportunity as just one villa less would mean losing tens of millions of profit.However, it

'Just a sentence or two and the deal’s sealed?'Manager Jones was dumbfounded.After snapping out, he was feeling surprised. After the end of drafting the agreement, both parties signed and chopped. It was acknowledged! Then, Jasper immediately transferred the 17.28 million into the company's account. This made Manager Jones so touched that he could feel the heat in his eyes from the tears.His company's financial flow had been about to break. If he had failed to get a loan or failed to sell any houses, the company would need to officially announce bankruptcy. However, currently, all the problems have been settled!Even though he did not earn much, at least he managed to sell off all the houses at Thornton Park."Mr. Laine, you really are my life savior!" Mr. Jones grasped Jasper's hand and said, feeling moved.Even though John, who was just standing aside as an observer, he was envious as well. He thought of his annual salary of more than 200,000 dollars. Even though the amount
