“Mr. Laine, you’ve been really close to the Laws recently. You guys must be planning something
together. No matter what you are planning, you have to count me in as well!”
Jasper raised his brow at Michael’s words.
Logically, the first thought that came into Jasper’s mind was that Zachary Law must have told Michael
something.
However, Jasper immediately snuffed out the possibility of something like that happening.
From a business perspective, Zachary had a position that ranked higher than everyone present here.
Even if he had a good personal relationship with Michael and wanted him to join his side, he would not
just disregard Jasper and tell Michael everything.
For now, the fact that he was working together with the Laws was absolutely confidential.
It was impossible for Zachary not to understand the risks of involving more people in their plans. If
something like that were to be exposed to the outside world, especially by someone from the Law
family, it would definitely bring forth consequential impacts to the finances of Harbor City.
Therefore, as long as Zachary did not do anything foolish, it was impossible for the outside world to
know anything about their plan.
“Don’t overthink. It was easy for me to guess. You made your fortune in the stock market, and
everything that you have recently done in Harbor City revolved around the stock market. At the same
time, Zachary has been rather active nowadays. It is obvious that a major event is about to take place.
“These aren’t secrets. Those who are observant can easily realize this if they pay a little attention.
However, they lack the core contextual information, so they don’t understand the common goal that
underlies your individual actions.
“In the beginning, I didn’t get it as well. However, after hearing what you said just now, I immediately
understood. The downfall of the Internet economic bubble is a disaster for most, but if you managed to
predict it and made arrangements beforehand, it would be a celebration of wealth and capital.
“You have the abilities, and Zachary has the funds. That’s enough to create an impact in the capital
sector of Harbor City.”
Jasper nodded after Michael finished speaking.
Sure enough, someone who had managed to make a name for himself in a place full of powerful,
influential people like Harbor City was not simple-minded at all.
Since Michael had already seen through their facade, there was no need for Jasper to continue hiding
it from him.
“This condition is acceptable, but there’s something that you must do, Mr. Lane. Otherwise, there’s
nothing more for us to discuss,” Jasper said.
“Say it,” Michael said with a grin. He was overcome with relief after Jasper agreed to his proposition.
“I don’t care about how much funds you intend to contribute, but you must hand it over to me to ensure
everything operates in unison. Also, since you’ve decided to get in this car that I’m driving, you must
follow my command in everything, from the speed, to the direction that the car is going.”
Michael smiled at his words. “Of course, I’m just taking the opportunity to score a bargain deal. I
definitely wouldn’t try to overthrow you. I’ll listen to whatever you ask me to do when the time comes,”
he said.
Jasper raised his glass with a chuckle. “Let’s make a toast to our successful collaboration. Cheers.”
“Cheers.”
This toast signaled the commencement of a 1.5-billion-dollar entertainment film package sale plan, and
future financial plans involving at least tens of billions of dollars’ worth of funds.
Michael was evidently in a pretty good mood. He chatted and joked around with Jasper for a while
before coming up with an excuse to leave.
After he left, Jasper said, “It seems like there are a lot of smart people out there in the world.”
Zachary laughed. “In truth, this deal guarantees a win for both parties in the transaction. You saved 500
million dollars in the takeover of Gladness Entertainment, and he can rely on you to earn more in the
future. There are no losses for you,” he said.
“More importantly, after this incident, Gladness International Corporation will naturally form an alliance
with you. This is extremely beneficial for you in the future.”
Jasper nodded at his words. He replied, “Actually, having one more person on board does not affect
how we earn money. With him, we won’t make a penny less, and without him, we won’t make a penny
more either. The thing is, is this person reliable?”
“He’s trustworthy. I’ve known him for a few decades now. He’s a person who doesn’t easily show his
true intentions. He’s good at scheming, but he may appear rather selfish at times just because he’s too
good at it.
“Honestly, nobody’s perfect. Other than that, he’s perfectly reliable.”
Jasper nodded at Michael’s words.
Since it was a charity auction gala function, the main attraction of the gala would be the auction.
In reality, these were all formalities. All the rich men simply had to take out some of the items they did
not need and put them up for an auction. No matter how much the items got auctioned for, the money
would be donated to charity.
Moreover, there was a high probability that these items would not even pass through the actual auction.
This was simply a matter of price.
All the rich and powerful people who came to the function would also make a bid for one or two items
each to join in the fun of the occasion.
This money meant nothing to them. They were only doing so to make a good reputation for
themselves.
