Chapter 785
Lydia Leigh patted Vanessa’s arm and discreetly pointed at Luna Lance, who was staring with the exact same starstruck expression.
“Careful, or she’ll make your life miserable p>
Vanessa flinched, mentally kicking herself for being so careless. She hadn’t checked her surroundings.
Luna was incredibly petty. If she viewed Vanessa as a rival, it would be a nightmare. Given Luna’s prestigious background, an average person couldn’t afford to cross her.
“Hello everyone, I am Jude Vance.
Since everyone seated here is a respected senior in the industry, I will keep this brief.
As we all know, modern finance originated overseas and has evolved at breakneck speed. Meanwhile, our domestic market has historically lagged behind, only seeing real growth in recent years.
But thanks to the rapid expansion of the internet, the world has shrunk.
Whether we like it or not, integration into the global market is an absolute inevitability.
If our market doesn’t standardize and get on the right track immediately, we will inevitably be eaten alive on the international stage.
As an overseas compatriot, a true Son of the Federation, I am willing to shoulder this heavy burden.
I will lead everyone to glory p>
“Look at that. Didn’t he speak beautifully? So utterly polished and grandiose. The clueless masses are definitely going to fall for it,” Whitlock commented drily.
“His setup worked perfectly. Look, they’re clapping again,” Quentin Vance muttered, struggling to stomach the spectacle.
“In light of the chaotic, unregulated state of our financial sector-and for the sake of everyday investors, as well as our nation’s image—I have taken the liberty of convening with multiple financial firm executives.
After careful deliberation, we have decided to formally establish The Capital Markets Regulatory Association. Though I am unworthy, these executives have nominated me to serve as its President p>
“You called it. Every single one of those bosses has already sworn loyalty to him,” Wyatt said.
“What did you expect? They’ve been plotting this in the shadows for a while. Of course they locked those people down. Besides, the pie is only so big Privately, those bosses are dying for an excuse to kick us out of the game,” Mira smiled effortlessly.
“Aren’t you worried they’re going to gang up and snipe you?” Whitlock asked.
“Heh. A foreigner doesn’t get to call the shots here,” Owen replied, his tone chillingly calm.
On the other side of the room, Lawrence, Seraphina, and their clique were already sneering.
They shot smug glances in Mira’s direction. *Your nemesis is finally here. Let’s see how long you can keep that arrogant look on your face p>
Seraphina clung to Lawrence’s arm. “Darling, I simply cannot wait to see this p>
Lawrence patted his fiancée’s shoulder. “Patience. We’re going to make them look like fools in just a minute p>
Standing nearby, Luna felt a prick of jealousy watching Lawrence whisper intimately with Seraphina. She took a step closer, wrapping her hands around Lawrence’s other arm.
“Lawrence, what are you whispering about? Don’t ignore me p>
“Luna, the real show is about to start p>
Seraphina, surprisingly, decided to play the understanding partner and didn’t push Luna away.
As the crowd murmured in anticipation, Jude Vance’s voice echoed through the speakers once more.
“Right now, certain funds in our
market are dangerously overhyped. They rely on exaggerated claims that cause severe negative disruptions. This kind of reckless behavior will easily destroy the public’s trust in our emerging
financial industry.
Since I now sit in the President’s chair, I absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to this chaos.
Rule number one: The issuance of every single financial product must undergo strict review and approval by the Association Without our Stamp, it is banned from the market.
This applies retroactively to all currently active products, as well as unreleased ones —including funds, wealth management portfolios, stocks, and futures.
Rule number two: To prevent severe market destabilization, we will impose strict quota limits on any financial product deemed ‘overly hot p>
