Chapter 753
During lunch, Mira Mercer and Harvey Rivers discussed the search for a general director to oversee their upcoming e-commerce platform.
Owen called her right in the middle of their conversation.
“Lawrence Lance and Jude Vance have rallied a group of financial executives. According to our intel, they’re forming some kind of Capital Alliance p>
“How pathetic. They failed to buy us out, failed to poach our people, and now they’re resorting to this. What do you think their next move is?” Mira asked.
“They’re definitely setting a trap for us. I’m just giving you a heads-up so you can mentally prepare. There’s nothing to be afraid of, though. We’ll handle whatever they throw our way.
I’ll reach out to the Mavaria Procurement Board through Dominic to preemptively discuss our strategy p>
“Understood, Owen. Our Academic Midterm Appraisals start tomorrow. I imagine they’ll wait until testing is over to make a move. They have to give me a chance to step into the ring, right p>
“Alright, just focus on your exams. Don’t worry about anything else. I’ll keep an eye on them from my end p>
“Deal. And I’m aiming for first place in the class, so you’d better help me celebrate.” “College doesn’t need to be that fiercely competitive. Good grades are enough p>
“But I want first place. Think of the glory!” Mira argued, her competitive edge showing. Deep down, she was still young and driven to win.
“Fine, get first place, and I’ll throw you a party. We’ll host a huge celebration banquet so you can show off!” Owen chuckled, completely helpless against her charm.
“No need to show off. Just coming with me to Wall Street will be enough p>
Owen only had to think for a second to know exactly what she was planning.
They had previously deduced that a global financial crisis, triggered by the Javenaire Federation’s real estate bubble, was imminent. The girl wanted to sweep in and make a fortune.
“The global financial giants aren’t like the ones back home. They operate in tight-knit syndicates, and their starting capital is measured in the trillions. They can effortlessly dictate a country’s entire economy. It’s incredibly dangerous. You need to think this through carefully p>
Cross-border investments of that scale were not for the faint of heart.
“But there’s plenty of opportunity
hidden in that danger. Don’t worry I’m not putting everything on the Jine
just withdraw a small fraction
of our capital to test the waters.
If it works, we make a massive profit. If it doesn’t, the loss won’t even scratch our foundation p>
“Alright, I’ll go with you p>
If Mira was determined to do this, he
had to be there to watch her back,
Fensu
ing she didnt get carried away and make a catastrophic mistake.
Mira was level-headed, but it never hurt to be safe.
Their phone conversation struck a chord with Harvey, who was sitting across the table.
“Mira, are you going to Wall Street to trade?” Harvey asked, lowering his voice. “Something like that p>
“Can I come with you p>
He had already made a significant amount of money trading stocks alongside her.
“This trip is going to be incredibly risky. Think about it carefully. Even I’m only daring to play with a small amount of capital p>
“I want to go. How long until you leave? And how long do you plan to stay over there p>
“We leave in about half a month. We’ll be there for around twenty days p>
“Okay. I’ll wrap up my affairs here as soon as possible p>
This was exactly what Mira liked about Harvey. He was decisive and efficient.
Ever since their dorm mates
discovered Mira and Harvey’s true et
identities,
they had stopped prying
into their business conversations.
Seeing the two of them discussing something serious, the others didn’t interrupt and
simply chatted casually among themselves.
It wasn’t until they were walking back to the classroom that Wyatt Wright finally
caught up and asked Harvey what was going on.
