Chapter 814
Jon froze.
He froze on the spot.
He expected to see the stock soar.
Instead, he saw green lines that represented a falling stock price.
He thought that his eyes must have fooled him.
Otherwise, how could Zimmer Corporation’s stock price have changed so dramatically overnight?
Jon’s hand quivered as he reached out to turn off the stock chart.
Jon then lit himself a cigarette and took two large puffs.
“Whew! Whew!”
After taking several deep breaths, Jon reopened the stock chart with trembling hands.
Swoosh!
Everything he saw was still green.
Besides that, the green line dropped sharply again from where it was earlier.
It dropped again!
Stock charts were generally meandering curves.

Today, Zimmer Corporation’s stock trend was terrifying.
It plummeted like it was falling off a cliff.
It almost became a straight line.
Besides that, it was falling faster and faster.
“B*stard!
“Who… who’s behind all this?”
Jon raised his fist and smashed the table.
Even if he was stupid, he would suspect someone was manipulating Zimmer Corporation’s stocks!
Otherwise, it would not have changed so quickly.
Before Jon could call his staff, he saw his money in the stock market shrinking sharply.
A large number of people began to sell their shares.
They cashed out in stocks as if they agreed to do it at the same time.
Jon’s eyes were about to pop out of his head at the sight of it. He was desperate to hit the pause
button to stop it.
However, there was nothing he could do when participating in such a large market.
He could not stop the investors from selling.
Therefore, he could only look on helplessly as his stock price dropped.
“B*stard! B*stard! B*stard!”
Jon turned pale as he shuddered and pounded his fist against the table.
He could not keep his cool with what was happening.
“Sir! Sir!”
The female assistant pushed the door open without knocking and entered in a panic.
When she came in and saw the look on Jon’s face, she knew he knew what had happened.
However, she reported it anyway.
“Sir, our stock price is plummeting fast. Investors have sold their stocks to cash out as they’re scared of
having their capital getting lost.
“Sir, we don’t have enough funds to sustain our business if this goes on. We can’t even pay our
overheads.
A group of company executives entered the office again after the female assistant said that.
There was the finance manager, operations director, board member…
“Mr. Zimmer, there is a shortage of capital that we can’t sustain our operations any longer.”
“Our stock has plummeted and is continuing to do so.”
“Sir, our stock crashed. It crashed!”
The reports were like rubbing salt into the wound for Jon.

He had expected this to happen when he saw the stock price crash.
However, he did not expect it to come so soon.
He was given a hard slap in the face before even having time to take emergency measures.
“Mr. Zimmer, what do we do?”
“What shall we do?”
“Mr. Zimmer, say something!”
“Didn’t you say everything’s under control?”
