Life at the Top

Chapter 58

“Over four billion…”

It was a figure that would raise blood pressures and burst arteries. Jack felt his scalp go numb at the sight.

While his current boss was Charles Granger, the richest man in the world, and four billion dollars was only a fraction of his wealth, it was only because Charles was his boss.

“Indeed. Both our time is too precious for that.” Jasper gestured back at the seat Jack had sat on before. Understanding what he meant, Jack sat back down.

Jack recollected his emotions and spoke, “If I may ask, Mr. Laine, is all your capital yours or your family’s, or is it a joint venture?”

Jasper smiled. “Are you updated with the futures market, Mr. Tanner?”

Jack nodded. “I haven’t dabbled in it myself, but I do know that two mysterious retail investors have recently appeared in the futures market.

“One of them earned tens of millions worth of revenue with just a few hundred thousand as capital in the domestic bean futures market not too long ago.

“While the other took a step further with international crude oil futures, earning a whopping few billions… Wait. Were both retail investor accounts yours?”

Jack was stunned by his own deduction as he stared at Jasper in disbelief.
