Staring at Jasper standing before him, Kayden was lost in thoughts.
He suddenly remembered that this man, who was seven to eight years younger than him, was the host
of the Harbor City billion-dollar market rescue plan.
How old was he back then?
How old was he that he was bold enough to preside over a billion-dollar market rescue plan and most
importantly, succeed?
Sure enough, backed by such glorious history and coupled with the already strong foundation of Sena,
getting the share prices to decuple was not entirely unattainable.
Besides, even if it did not decuple, he would still profit even if it merely sextupled or septupled!
At the thought of this, Kayden suddenly realized that the words Jasper said about ‘being so sure
because he was Jasper Laine’ might seem arrogant but were actually true.
“What do I need to do?”
Kayden was, after all, Kayden. He would not be blinded by the profits presented before his eyes. He
knew that Jasper had conditions as well for offering him such a huge benefit.
Jasper smiled slightly and said, “You sure are a sensible person, Mr. Langdon. If that’s the case, I won’t
beat about the bush anymore. You own 25% of shares in Harbor City Trade Settlement Center, right,
Mr. Langdon?”
Kayden frowned and said, “Yes, I do. But key state-owned enterprises like that represent half of Harbor
City’s central bank, so even though I hold a portion of the shares, I can’t really do anything with them.
I’m sure you know this.”
Jasper laughed. “I can’t have any ideas about the trade settlement center, of course. What I need you
to do, Mr. Langdon, is to use the shares in your hands to propose something for me.”
Having said that, Jasper told him all about his partnership with ICBS to gain access to a payment
interface.
“Are you setting up an online payment system?” Once again, Kayden studied Jasper carefully. All of a
sudden, he realized that as they interacted further, he would eventually find himself underestimating the
other party no matter how much importance he had attached to him in the first place.
Online payment was not something that ordinary people would touch.
The cost was too high, and the difficulty level was uncommonly high. Disregarding everything else, the
policy itself was tantamount to climbing Mt. Everest. Any approval procedures for this system needed
to go through Swallow Capital’s major departments. Those without the ability would not stand a chance
at all.
Most importantly, no one knew what the future trend would be like. If things went south, all the money
invested would be lost.
Jasper, however, was brave enough to do it.
“It’s just an attempt. Besides, the online payment system is crucial for the upcoming online game Sena
is developing. It’ll affect the share prices once the company is listed in the future,” Jasper said.
Kayden came to a sudden realization and immediately flew into a rage out of embarrassment. He said,
“You’re setting me up!
“You first lure me in with a huge mouth-watering pancake and then tell me that this pancake isn’t done
yet. Now I’m supposed to work for it in order to have a taste?!”
Jasper laughed. “I deserve to be lectured, indeed. There’s no business in this world where you can
earn steady profits at all times. The distinction here is that the things I want from you are far less than
what you will get.
“This is a challenge for me, but for you, it will be nothing more than using your right as a shareholder to
voice out. Besides, don’t you want to subdue Fabian?” Jasper asked flatly.
Kayden fell silent.
Although he was unhappy about this, Kayden must admit that every word Jasper said spoke his mind.
He and Fabian could not get along with each other. Their resentment was deeply ingrained and could
never be resolved.
Although it was highly unlikely for them to go so far as to fight with each other, they would not hesitate
to use any chance they could get to make the other party suffer just a tad.
Most importantly, it was not really difficult for him to get this done anyway.
It went without saying that he could easily obtain Sena’s 100 million shares via pre-IPO placement in
the future.
