Chapter 22

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. novelbin

“After deducting costs and commissions, we made a profit of more than three billion!”

“The account balance is 3,101,240,000!”

Wendy stared at Jasper blankly, her pretty face flushed with excitement. She suppressed her rapidly beating heart and said in an incredulous tone, “You… You’re too amazing! You actually used 60 million to make billions!”

Jasper let out a breath, the corners of his mouth turning upward as he said, “If there are no issues, the man in front of you should now be one of the ten richest people in the country.”

In the year 2000, the seventh in the national Forbes richest list was someone in this country with a total net worth of 350 US million dollars.

At this moment, Jasper’s assets had reached 360 million US dollars. He was well-deserving of seventh-place indeed.

Of course, there were too many hidden wealthy people in this country, and Jasper was not arrogant enough to think that his 3.1 billion was enough to rank him seventh in the country. However, on the bright side, it was a fact that no one could deny.

In eight hours, Jasper realized his dream, doubling his personal assets 50 times over from 62 million to 3.1 billion. He withdrew the money successfully.

This was a miracle that had never been seen in the history of mankind. Those with higher multipliers than him were not as rich as him, and those richer had fewer multipliers.

All this happened in a remote corner of this ordinary county.

When everything was settled and the money was in his pocket, Jasper exhaled in relief when he received the text message from the bank.

The remittance of such a huge amount of funds would cause a reaction from Commercial Bank as soon as he went to work tomorrow. Moreover, Jasper estimated that his big move would also attract the attention of many people in the international market, but he had no idea how big the storm could be.

After being ultra-focused for seven to eight hours, even the young and energetic Jasper felt a little overwhelmed by now.

At this moment, two stomachs grumbling sounded at the same time. Both Jasper and Wendy looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

When people were too nervous or emotional, they would ignore the needs of the body. However, once relaxed, the hunger would follow immediately.

“Let’s go out for supper,” Jasper said with a smile.

It was too late now and the two of them were living in an ordinary small county that was far less boisterous than a big city, so when they got to the streets, the only thing they could find at this time was a snack bar that was about to close.

Had it not been for Wendy’s beauty, the lady boss would not have accepted their business.

Sitting in the simple snack bar, Wendy was obviously curious as it was her first time eating in a snack bar.

“Are you unhappy with me for taking you out for supper in a place like this?” Jasper took a set of utensils and smiled when he passed it to Wendy.

Wendy blinked and joked, saying, “You’ve earned so much. Of course, you have to treat me to a good meal. This meal doesn’t count.”

“Anything you wish for. As long as it’s for sale, you can request it,” Jasper said generously.

As long as it was something that money could buy, it would not be a problem for him now!
