Victory in Life
Chapter 621
Skyward Aluminum stock prices started to drop nonstop until arriving at the first lower limit this week.
It has not been more than three hours since the stock price rose to the limit only to fall to the lower limit. The morning market will be closed.
"We wait for the afternoon market to open and buy everything. I will forcefully raise that price at the lower limit until it reaches the upper limit. That should be enough for 5% of the shares." Jasper leaned back on the chair and smiled at the gaping Henry in shock.
Henry gave his thumb. "So this is what real power looks like."
The unusual movement in the stock market has also piqued the interest of Skyward Aluminium's Investment Department, which has overseen the company's shares.
"Eh, Mr Clark? Should we tell Mr Monty about this?" A trader turned to ask Benjamin while staring at the stock price that had already reached the lower limit. Sweat was on his forehead.
The expression on Benjamin's face was very strange as well. The company's stock had risen to its limit when the market opened this morning and he certainly believed that it was because JW Capital was trying to buy more shares.
He would follow through on it when a news suddenly appeared. Then, the stock price immediately plummeted.
The K-line for stock prices is now in the form of an inverted V after reaching the top only to plunge into the abyss.
"I called him, but the butler picked up, not Mr. Monty. He said that Mr. Monty was meeting with an important guest and couldn't be bothered no matter what." Benjamin gritted his teeth. He felt something big was going to happen.
Pondering about it, there were still two more hours before the market opened in the afternoon, so Benjamin stated, "Observate the market during the day. Don't do anything even when the market reopens without my instructions. I'm going to the Monty family residence."
Then, Benjamin rushed to Monty's luxurious residence.
At the door of the Monty family residence, Benjamin was drenched in sweat as he spoke to the butler, "Please tell Mr. Monty that Benjamin came to see him. It's very important."
The butler frowned and replied unhappily. "What makes you think that Mr. Monty will meet you just because you want to meet him? I said on the phone, didn't I? Mr. Monty is with a very important guest and can't be bothered no matter what."
Benjamin glanced at his watch and realized that there was still an hour before the market reopened. He thought that their lunch would be finished in another hour, so he had no choice but to wait at the door.
Until two o'clock in the afternoon when the market reopened, there was still no sign of Conrad. Benjamin is panicking now.
"What are you doing?" shouted the butler at Benjamin who was trying to force his way in. "Does the Monty family residence look like your place to play?"
Then, about half a dozen bodyguards rushed out and looked at Benjamin.
"What the fuck is this ... I'm Skyward Aluminium's investment manager. I have some very important news to tell Mr. Monty!" Benjamin was almost crying with how panicked he felt.
The butler sneered. "I don't care who you are. All I know is that Mr. Monty has ordered that no one bother him no matter what. Listen and wait, or I'll kick you out. Understood?"
As the two spoke outside, a conversational voice could also be heard from within the room.
In the next moment, Conrad and Colin walked together.
Conrad had a thin and satisfied smile on his face.
After personally escorting Colin out of the door, Conrad reached out to shake the man's hand. "It's nice talking to you today, Mr. Walter. So I guess what we've discussed will be confirmed, then. I have to thank you seriously after all this is done."
Colin hurriedly replied before looking at Benjamin strangely. The latter looked like he would explode at any moment. Colin smiled, saying, "Of course, of course."
Seeing how the two were still lazing around, Benjamin could no longer hold him back and immediately spoke, "Something has happened, Mr. Monty! The company's stock price started to rise to the limit this morning only to suddenly drop to the lower limit due to false rumors! I suspect Jasper did this on purpose so he could sweep out more of our stock!"
"He'll buy all the stocks in the market if we don't do anything!"
Before Conrad could react, Colin's expression immediately turned strange.
