"Wait, I'm a little confused. Elliott is Harold's father and head of the family, so Harold will be the next head, right? And the person who helped me this time is just Harold."
"Yes, sir."
"Will Harold come to help me do it in person?"
"I don't know, but the two persons the manager mentioned are working for Mr. Brooks, I mean Harold."
"I don't mind sharing the gains with him, but I don't think he is brave enough to spend so much money with me."
"Yes, sir. The Brooks family is rich and ranked first in Sunrise City, but its wealth is from its assets. Not many people have so much cash like you."
"Really? Sylvia, don't lie to me."
"I never lie to you. The big family is rich because they have the wealth gathered by generations and are managing a lot of companies, but they don't have so much cash in their account. As far as I know, Harold just has several billion dollars, not as much as you have."
"But he has more assets. Well, forget it. We should be prepared for the operation."
Just like Adrien had expected, Harold was surprised to hear that Adrien was going to spend 2 billion dollars with such high leverage. It would be best if it won, and it would not make him lose a lot if it lost.
Harold asked his men to check Adrien's background but found nothing. He just guessed that Adrien was the future heir of Higgins family in Trified.
In the morning, the weather was hot. Adrien came to the VIP room of Post port Security Exchange with a yawn and met the people from the notary office and the bank, the trader, and the two women working for Harold.
"Mr. Higgins, the money has been transferred to your account. The exchange will happen in half an hour. Which stock do you want to buy?" Jenny Jones and Olive Wilson asked Adrien. Adrien knew they were Harold's assistants. He answered, "Spend all the money buying the stocks of Daniel Technology and then short-sell them."
"What? Daniel Technology?"
Jenny was surprised.
"Yes, just do it."
"Have you made up your mind? The stocks of Daniel Technology is so valuable. It is one of the high best tech companies and is worth 800 billion dollars. The annual profit is about 4.4 billion dollars, but you want to short- sell its stocks!" Olive looked at Adrien in disbelief.
"Don't waste my time. You just need work for me. Do not question my order." Adrien was unhappy.
"Yes, Mr. Higgins, we'll do it."
Jenny sent a message to Harold and asked about Harold's decision.
Harold was disappointed after reading message. "I have overestimated him. He must be stupid."
Then he told Jenny not to follow Adrien.
Jenny got the order and bought the stocks of Daniel Technology with Olive with all 2 billion dollars at a tenfold leverage. The Adrien signed the short sale contract with the traders.
"Mr. Higgins, you will lose 2 billion dollars once the stock price rise by 10 percent."
"Okay, no problem."
The market was open at 9:30 in the morning.
The market of Daniel Technology was indeed hot. Its price rose by 2 percent in an instant and was still rising. The price was 200 dollars by opening and rose to 204 dollars in an instant. Then it went to 207 dollars and rose by more 5 percent, which led to a rise in the whole market.
"Mr. Higgins, if it rise by more than 5 percent you will lose 2 billion dollars. You'd better stop it and you can still get back half of your money." Jenny said.
"No, be patient and wait."
Adrien still looked calm, which made everyone present think he must be stupid. The stock price was still rising and would never plummet. The trading on the stock exchange was amazingly heavy.
When the market had a break at noon, the stock price of Daniel Technology was 215 dollars which had risen by 7 percent.
Even Sylvia and Darcy persuaded Adrien to stop it, in case he lost all his money.
"Be patients. There will be something interesting in the afternoon."
Sylvia and Darcy couldn't understand Adrien, but they knew Adrien had made up his mind, so they stopped persuading.
Olive, Jenny and the other people from the notary office and the traders laughed at Adrien. Of course, Adrien had expected it.
At 1'o clock in the afternoon, the market opened again. Adrien found that the rise of the stock price of Daniel Technology suddenly paused.
Adrien tapped on the desk and smiled, "It begins."
Nobody took his words seriously. They just thought he was bluffing.
But as soon as Adrien finished his words, the stock price of Daniel Technology had a rapid decline.
Its price, 218 dollars, was about to make Adrien liquidate, but now, it suddenly plummeted to 208 dollars and then to 200 dollars, which was the price of the very opening when the market opened in the morning.
Everyone stared at the screen in the VIP room and waited to see what was going to happen.
The price fell to 200 dollars, and then to 191 dollars with a rapid decline again.
In less than two minutes, it plummeted by more than 18 dollars!
"Oh! What on earth happened?"
The manager who had picked Adrien up at the airport sighed.
"Oh my! Something has happened to Daniel Technology! The news said that Leili Lands and Yonna will no longer provide Daniel Technology with high-tech chips! It's said that the Daniel Technology lies to the customers with fake chips and has a false account! Its boss is indicted to corruption charges."
"Look at its stock price! It has fallen to 158 dollars! Another huge decline!"
Adrien breathed a sigh of relief. He believed the system would never lie to him.
"There is a suspension for half an hour!" Olive got the latest news.
