The markets reopened for trading at one o’clock in the afternoon.
With Yael’s instructions, QY International entered into the fray. Its huge market strength immediately accelerated the slaughter.
Jack sat quietly at the window and looked peacefully at the clouds. Slowly, the blue skies and white clouds became overcast with grey clouds.
Jack rubbed his nose and smiled, “The stock market must have been stirred by Yael to be like this weather. A storm must be brewing.”
Hughes family.
Killian’s face turned blue and stared at the computer screen like a poisonous snake.
George ground his teeth as his face turned blue and red. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins throbbed.
Ivy leaned back at the chair with a pale face and smile of resignation.
The movement of the stocks as displayed on the computer screen was like a sharp dagger constantly stabbing into the three of them. Just like what Killian said, it was too late for them to cut and run.
Furthermore, the emergence of QY International was like the straw that broke the camel’s back. It basically surrounded and slaughtered Zooko Investment and Seava Capital. Who could have expected that their intended targets Jack and Yael could mount such a counter-attack?
The humiliation, anger, detest, shock, and all other emotions flooded the three of them. The temperature in the room became so cold that it chilled to the bones. Killian and the other two didn’t bother with the money. What they couldn’t tolerate was they had lost on both ends and Jack was the benefactor of the gains.
They had all previously lost to Jack and that was why the three potential heirs ganged up against Jack. But they now lost even when they combined their efforts.
“I won’t take this, I won’t accept this. We are the elite generation of the Hughes family. How can we lose to that bastard?” George clenched his teeth as his eyes turned bloodshot and continued insanely, “Why don’t we continue to press on? Let’s put in a few more billion into it. I’m sure we can turn it around!”
Smack! Killian slapped George with the back of his hand.
“You, when had you become so foolish?” George’s voice was cold and caused their hair to stand on ends.
George was stunned for a second by the slap and then erupted furiously, “Killian, even if you’re my brother you can’t simply hit me! You were the one who came up with this idea and dragged Ivy and me into it. Look at it now, not only have we lost our face, we’ve given Jack so many resources! How can you expect me to stomach this humiliation?”
The atmosphere became tense and explosive. Ivy continued to sit on the chair and didn’t hold back George.
Killian slowly stood up, pushed up his glasses, and scoffed, “There are a thousand ways for me to kill a boor like you!”
“How dare you!” George erupted furiously. He was already so frustrated with his losses and totally lost his self-control when Killian slapped him.
“Why don’t I dare?” Killian scoffed, “If you offend me, I’ll kill you even if you’re my brother.”
George’s heart sank and trembled when he heard what Killian said. When he looked into Killian’s eyes, he felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. He swallowed his saliva, controlled his impulsiveness, and sat back onto the chair.
Killian turned and looked at the computer and said coldly, “A defeat means a defeat! Billions of yuan aren’t anything to us. So long as the one-year deadline isn’t up, we still have countless opportunities to destroy him.”
Smash! After saying this, Killian punched and shattered the computer.
…
At five o’clock in the afternoon.
Jack promptly received Yael’s call. Yael burst out laughing as soon as the call was answered. Jack patiently listened to Yael’s report. He knew that Yael’s pressure was just as immense as his. He was plotted against by five companies. Anyone else would have been devastated.
Now that the situation played out in their favor, Yael was finally able to laugh out loud. It was also the release of his stress.
“Jack, we won! We absolutely won this time!” Yael said victoriously after laughing for half a minute.
Jack raised his eyebrows and said, “Rascal, are you still keeping me in suspense?”
“Three billion! We made three billion!” Yael said excitedly.
That much? Jack had a huge surprise. This was only Yael’s company’s profits. There were profits made by the Grand Freemasons, Jeweline Group, and QY International! Four companies fleeced two companies. If they totaled up their winnings…
Just as Jack was thinking, Yael said, “We had turned the tide and gone from defeat to victory. If we add it all up, the losses of Zooko Investment, Seava Capital, and Rothschild all add up to at least ten billion yuan!
Kaboom!
Jack’s pupils constricted. Ten billion in a day! Wasn’t the Quinn family finance company valued at ten billion? In other words, in a day, they had lost the equivalent of a critical family business of the wealthiest family of a city.
“Ha ha ha… Jack, this time Zooko Investment and Seava Capital must have vomited blood. They will never dare to attack us again in the future!”
Yael was very happy and there was a tone of arrogance in his voice, “When I made ten billion for the Quinn family, many said that I was lucky and unworthy of any accolades. Now I did it openly and fairly. Now those people must know what I’m capable of!”
“You didn’t let QY International participate in the morning so that you can deal them the final blow in the afternoon to break their will?” Jack realized that the tactic that Yael used was the same as when he dealt with Aiden.
Only when you break the will of the opponent would you have peace in the future.
“Yes!” Yale laughed happily and said, “But this time we could turn the tide thanks to your contacts. If we didn’t have the Grand Freemasons and Jeweline Group, we couldn’t have done it even with QY International!”
Jack was stunned.
He grinned and then smiled, “Such a small company like Jeweline Group had gained so much from this. They must have reaped a huge profit today.”
“That small company must have a very skilled person.” Yael’s voice turned serious.
Skilled person? There truly must be someone skilled!
Jack laughed. Now that this was over, he should make a trip to the North. He chatted with Yael for a while, decided a time for tonight’s celebrations, and hung up the call.
Following that, he called Corbin and Lone Wolf in and immediately allocated fifty million yuan to be distributed to the staff as a bonus.
As soon as the news spread, all the office staff yelled out in celebrations and were filled with motivation. Fifty million yuan was a lot of money. There weren’t many staff at DT and if it was to be equally distributed, then each staff would receive at least a million yuan. Furthermore, this was an unexpected windfall to them!
Jack instructed Corbin and Lone Wolf before he left the company.
But as he reached the office lobby, all of Jack’s celebratory mood immediately vanished.
