“We can’t let them enjoy themselves too much. What a joke. How much did we spend to create the current situation? Now they’re planning to harvest before it even reaches the climax?”

“Then shall we take a little action?” Jake asked excitedly.

Jasper said with a smile, “There is only one thing to do, and that is to buy Weresoft stock. We’ll go to the stock market to brazenly buy it.”

Jake thought for a while, and he seemed to understand. He immediately nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll do it right away.”

Currently, countless pairs of eyes were staring at JW Foundation’s every move, and confidentiality measures were pretty much useless.

Thus, when JW Foundation started buying Weresoft stock, the news could not be concealed, not that JW Foundation had any intention of concealing it anyway.

As the chairman of Weresoft, Granger, the

world’s richest man on paper, received

the report immediately.

“Mr. Granger, the current stock market plunge has seriously affected Weresoft’s market value. At this time, if a competitor wanted to buy Weresoft stock or even snatch the control of the company, we will be unable to reliate.”

In Weresoft’s investment department,

Romney, the person in charge, reported to

Granger.

“Our worries have become a reality. JW

Foundation has begun to buy our stocks, s

o we must take some measures to deal

with this.”

Granger crossed his fingers below his chin. His iconic round-frame glasses made him look like an intellectual, but at this time Granger’s expression was gloomy and heavy.

“JW Foundation is under the umbrella of J W Capital, and JW Capital’s core industry i n Somerland is the Internet industry. It can be said that they are our peers. Them wanting to control Weresoft is very

possible.”

Granger raised his eyes and looked at Romney. Then, he said, “Start the company’s stock repurchase program and compete with JW Foundation for Weresoft. stocks in the market. Weresoft’s control must never fall into the hands of some fella in Somerland.”

Weresoft, a global computer operating system company, was not only of commercial significance, but more importantly, had social, political, and military significance.

Imagine that in the modern age where everything was inseparable from the computer, the computer’s operating system belonged to someone else such that there was no privacy at all if they wanted to do something.

What Granger was worried about was not that Weresoft’s controlling rights would b e sidelined. What he was really worried about was that the JW Foundation would trigger crazy acquisitions by foreign capital outside the United States. If this triggered a chain reaction, it would cause a huge blow to the entire economic ecology of the United States.

Thinking of this, Granger dismissed Romney then immediately picked up the phone and called the Ministry of Commerce far away in Washington.
