Life At The Top Chapter 1816

Before the two big bombs mentioned by Jasper appeared, the collapse of the subprime market in the
United States took the lead in causing an uproar in the global financial community.

This time, not only the financial sector, even the governments of various countries around the world
had begun to stand up.

As a global financial and economic center, once the United States fell into the quagmire of an economic
crisis, it would cause a huge blow to the global financial industry.

Under such circumstances, the

announcement issued by the Federal

Reserve and the Department of the Treasury gave the market little

confidence, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

The 300 billion market rescue funds invested by the Federal Reserve before had all evaporated. Not
only that, the points in the subprime market were still plunging drastically.

This scene caused countless people to

panic.

It was unknown how many investors and institutions had emptied all their possessions in this sudden
crash. Moreover, they were even in huge debts. because of this.

One could see people’s assets such as cars, houses, and stocks being forcibly taken away by the court
everywhere. Furthermore, one could see people

jumping off high-rise bridges to end their



painful life.

The economic crisis brought about by the collapse of the subprime market had affected all aspects of
society.

The most terrifying chain reaction was that the decline in the subprime market had led to a full-scale
decline in the United States futures and securities stock market.

The stock price of listed companies continued to fall and investors in the market lost their money.
Furthermore listed companies were unable to obtain funds from the stock market for corporate

development. As a result, countless companies began to lay off employees and shut down factories,
and some even went bankrupt.

Therefore, people who had lost their jobs

were looking for new jobs while facing

huge debt pressure at the same time.

The direct result of this was that a large.

number of people began to take to the

streets to demonstrate.

Some were blaming the government for being incompetent and some were blaming the rich for making
all the money, causing them to be unable to put food on the table. At the same time, others were
blaming the Somerland people for causing them to lose their jobs and carry huge debts.

Under tremendous economic pressure,



the racial, social, and class contradictions

in the United States began to make their

appearance one by one.

This was exactly what Jasper had seen in his previous life.

The only difference was that this time it had intensified the hatred of people in the United States toward
the people in Somerland.

Conflicts between Somerland immigrants and the United States citizens broke out everywhere. On
even more serious occasions, tanned -skinned Terrans had even become the targets of their attacks,
and the first to bear the brunt was the Somerlandtowns that were littered all across the United States.

To put it bluntly, not only did the collapse of the subprime market evaporate countless amounts of
wealth in the United States, it also exacerbated social conflicts and caused social turmoil.

This was the power of modern finance.

“Dad, how long do you think the chaos in the United States will last?”

In a moving convoy, Kayden, who wast sitting in the middle, turned to ask his father, Half-the-Harbor
Langdon, who was sitting next to him.

Half-the-Harbor Langdon still wore his

iconic tortoiseshell, black-rimmed

glasses. He said, “It has just begun, so

why would it end so soon?”.



Seeing another demonstrator on the side o

f the road holding a banner stating ‘We

want to work, we want to live’, Kayden

said with a complicated expression,

Throughout this period, many Somerland

shops all over the countryl have been

destroyed, looted, and burned, while we

even have to be equipped with bodyguards

when we go out. Are these people really.

brainless?

“Not only will this not fix things for them, it will make the situation even more unmanageable!”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon smiled. “These people are like a flock of sheep. They will argue because they
lost two bales of grass today and two sips of water yesterday, but they never care about the wool that
farmers shear from their bodies every year to make coats, or even the farmers slaughtering one or two
of their companions to make a roast to entertain the farmer’s friends.

“This kind of inferiority runs through the entire history of the human race. Don’t expect them to suddenly
come to a realization one day. If that day comes, it will be the end of us capitalists.”

Kayden lamented, “Speaking of capitalists, I think Jasper is seriously terrifying. He was the one who
caused this. with his own hands. To be honest, until the thing actually happened right before m y eyes, I



didn’t want to admit that the rascal who is a few years younger than me could do this. Now, I have to
admit, I’m not as good as him”

“It’s good that you’re aware of this.” Half -the-Harbor Langdon took off his glasses and said in
satisfaction, “Never think that you are the smartest one. Only idiots will have that mindset.

“Our ancestors have always told us that there will always be someone better than u s, but there are
always too many idiots who have struggled to nderstand this. Jasper is indeed very good, and his
ability i s beyond doubt, but it is precisely because. of this that you can either be his friend or his
enemy. There is no third option.”

Kayden sighed sullenly. For people like

him, the arrogance he had was genuine,

and it was different from the attitude

Henry flaunted as the former’s arrogance

came from his very bones. On the surface,

he was gentle and cultivated, but in his

heart, his sense of superiority was

stronger than anyone else’s.

It was because of this that it was very

painful for him to admit that others were

better than him.



“Dad, how do you feel about the

negotiation with Layman? We’re

merchants from Somerland, so they are

probably not willing to contact us.”

Kayden changed the subject and said.

Half-the-Harbor Langdon said flatly, ”

What’s wrong with merchants from

Somerland? We’re still merchants at the

end of the day. We are merchants first,

and Somerland cum Harbor City

merchants second.

“Layman can’t even save themselves

now, and that’s why they are even willing

to contact the Laws. Why wouldn’t they

contact us, who are more free and open?

Everyone in the world knows that the

Laws are true Somerland merchants with



government connections.

“Hmph, on the surface, that old fart from the Laws played beautifully with Jasper in the subprime
market, but he’s secretly trying to acquire Layman Investment Bank. If this deal is completed, the glory
o of the Laws will continue for at least another 50 years.”

Kayden sneered, “No matter how nicely

they played this, we still found out about i

t. After all, Henry is a disappointment and

leaked such important news.”

“We’re bound to get Layman. If we can acquire the world’s fourth-largest investment bank, we will have
a foundation in the West. This foundation is enough to allow us to have the capital to negotiate terms
with Somerland’s officials. Then, we can revitalize those projects Jasper trapped in the mainland

with his dirty tricks.”

Half-the-Harbor Langdon’s eyes

twinkled with excitement. He said, “Once

we succeed, then this will be the largest M &A case of the 20th century. It will be of great help to our
corporate transformational multinational consortium. Therefore, we can only succeed we can’t fail!”
