“You let them off easy, Dad.”
In the ward, Henry thought it was a pity.
It was the perfect opportunity to take down both Lancaster father and son, yet Zachary had chosen to
let them off just like that?
Although they did get some benefits, Henry did not care about those benefits at all. The Laws were a
big family that owned major industries. They received plenty of benefits that losing a few was not
enough to starve them to death.
In Henry’s opinion, he could give up on this bit of benefit and use this opportunity to trample the
Lancaster father and son to the ground.
“Know when to stop. Some things are not that simple. Do you really think Bob is that easy to deal
with?”
Zachary replied, though it was clear that he had no plans of making further explanations about this as it
involved the power struggle of the upper class in Harbor City. It was too complicated.
Jasper, however, took the hint and said with a smile, “When two giants fight, it’ll be difficult to bring
each other down unless it involves life and death.
“The giants will not start a war so easily because of their sizes as the impact will be too great and the
consequences too heavy. Hence, most of the time, both parties will take turns in suffering losses and
sharing benefits.
“In the long run, after a few more wins and as one rises and another one falls, the gap between the
giants will be pulled apart. When that happens, you’ll get to decide what you want to do with the other
party.”
Zachary nodded and said, “Yup, that’s how it is. It’s similar to two countries engaging in a conflict.
Almost all of them fight with words.
“It is extremely rare to see fights that involve weapons and firearms. After all, there are simply too many
factors to consider—the country’s power, the other party’s strength, and the covetous eyes of
neighboring countries. Who knows, many people would start fanning the flames, sit around, and watch
the fight. When both sides are exhausted, they’ll come to reap the spoils.”
Henry was even more confused as he listened to their conversation. He waved his hands in irritation
and said, “I don’t understand. Whatever it is, was I injured this time for nothing?”
“If getting an injury could earn me hundreds of millions of dollars of profit each time, then remember to
invite me next time,” Jasper said with a grin.
Having said that, he turned around to look at Zachary, asking, “Can I ask you a question, Uncle Law? Is
that the natural gas contract for Marina, the capital of Filopo?”
Zachary was astounded. “How did you know that?”
Jasper chuckled. How could he not know?
Following the rapid economic development of Filopo’s capital city Marina, a series of construction
projects were to be carried out for the modernization of the city. Congress had made the decision for
80% of the city to have access to natural gas facilities.
At the time, everyone thought this was a great business opportunity and countless neighboring
countries swarmed in.
Though surprisingly, even though this was a multi-billion dollar contract, the companies in Filopo did not
seem to be interested at all.
According to Jasper’s memory from his past life, the contract was eventually given to a company in
Harbor City along with another natural gas company abroad.
Now it seemed that the Harbor City company that Jasper had heard of back then when he was still a
commoner was probably Bob’s company.
He had a deep impression of this incident because Jasper, who still had his memories after
reincarnation, knew that this was a huge trap.
In the upcoming construction works, the entire construction process would be a difficult one. Then,
there was the protest of the locals which caused huge problems for the contractors. Filopo thwarted
their plan, using all sorts of means to rip off these two companies.
In the end, both sides completely fell out and the contract was breached. The two companies and
Filopo’s international lawsuit lasted for seven to eight long years. Even when Jasper was reincarnated,
there was still no result.
At the thought of this, Jasper said to Zachary.
“Uncle Zachary, I received news from a friend that this is no simple contract. Filopo might change their
mind. Disregarding everything else, why are there so few of Filopo’s domestic companies fighting for
this opportunity? You must be careful because this isn’t normal at all.”
