Cooperation was a two-way street.
Jasper had made himself very clear when he said, ‘stay alive, and then we’ll talk about the rest’.
This fight with the United States and Wall Street was a battle of life and death. Outsiders might view
this as a joke but Jasper was truly fighting for his life.
Everything else had to make way for this matter. Therefore, if Todd did not participate in this, why would
he still talk about future collaboration, foundations, or clubs? Those were all nonsense in comparison.
At this critical moment, Todd needed to do something if he still wanted to benefit from a relationship
Jasper. Todd’s analysis was very clear, so the answer he gave was straightforward.
After Jasper got the answer he wanted, the way Jasper looked at Todd became softer.
Jasper spoke after he stood up and shook hands with Todd, “Well then, let‘s do this for now. I will
arrange for someone to contact your subordinates regarding the specifics. Before we start, I will
summon a few important investors from the foundation so that everyone can meet each other.”
Todd’s eyes lit up when he heard this. The first half of the sentence was fine.
Most of the time, after the big shots came up with the framework of the collaboration, the subordinates
would take care of the specifics.
For example, how to allocate the funds and where they should transfer the funds to. Then, how the
follow-up investors should monitor the specific use of the money and what the profit and loss report
would be based on.
The big shots were very busy, so naturally, they would not have the time to run through the specifics
one by one, hence they would just leave it to the people under them.
What Todd cared about the most was meeting the other investors. This was the chance to widen Todd’s
social circle, which he always dreamed of.
However, who were the important investors?
The Laws were definitely one of them.
The little prince and Lord Alvarado were elites in the mainland. Todd would not have a chance to get to
know them even if he wanted to.
At this moment, Jasper was willing to give him this opportunity, so this calmed him down a lot.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Laine. I’ll wait for your good news.”
Jasper grinned when he saw Todd being so excited. After chatting with Todd, they bade each other
farewell. Jasper did not plan to stay in Nim City, so after the deed was done, Henry and him went back
to Nauritus City with Julian as the driver.
On the way, Henry leaned back against the big plush backseat of the Bentley and said, “I don’t
understand Puller. Is it necessary to do so much just to get in? This circle is not as comfy as he thinks.”
“You’re just oblivious because you’re been in this circle your whole life.” Jasper shook his head and
said lightly, “Now the social classes have basically solidified, while the way up will only become
narrower and more difficult. From this point of view, at least the Puller father and son are pretty far-
sighted.”
“The main reason for their struggle is that their identities are too awkward. If they don’t get out as soon
as possible, they will lose their value in the future. Besides, they might also get kicked out of Nawait
Semiconductor Manufacturing. If they don’t have the company, what differentiates them from ordinary
people?”
“The most pitiful ones are not those who have never endured many hardships but the high-ranking
officials who have to suffer after getting a taste of the life of luxury. That is a fate worse than death.”
After he heard what Jasper said, Henry fell deep into thought.
Jasper did not disturb him. Henry would have gained something if he could realize this simple truth.
However, after a while, before he could get a reaction from Henry, Jasper turned his head to look over
curiously and saw the kid had fallen asleep unbeknownst to him.
“What a disappointment.”
Jasper shook his head and closed his eyes to rest on his seat. After these past few days, he was
exhausted.
It was the middle of the night when they arrived in Nauritus City.
Jasper asked Julian to take Henry back to his villa. Then, he went to Dawson’s villa.
Normally, Wendy would bunk up here if he was not around to stay with her father. If Jasper had nothing
to do, he would also stay here. Thus, the villa they bought back then would be left vacant.
“You’re back.”
Dawson was still awake when Jasper came back. He looked at Jasper and greeted him. Dawson was
holding a teacup while wearing his pajamas.
Jasper nodded and replied, “I just came back from Nim City after finishing some business. Is Wendy
asleep?”
Dawson pointed at a room with his lips and said, “That girl is down with a cold so I asked her to take
some medication. She’s fast asleep.”
“Is she okay?” Jasper asked.
“What can a cold do? She’s still young and healthy, so she’ll be fine after some medicine and sleep.
Come to the study with me. Let’s talk.”
Jasper followed Dawson obediently. After he entered the study, he closed the door behind him. When
he saw Dawson picking up a cigarette, he went over to light it up for him. Then, he sat down opposite
Dawson obediently.
“Thank you for all your hard work during this period,” Dawson said after exhaling a puff of smoke.
With a wry smile, Jasper said, “I was forced to do this. Many things are beyond my control.”
“You could predict this when you started JW. ” Dawson laughed.
Jasper nodded.
Looking at Jasper, Dawson said warmly, “Your business is getting bigger and bigger now, and your
prestige is fast advancing. There is not much that I can help you with any more.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper frowned and was about to speak when Dawson waved his hand to stop him.
“I know what you want to say, but regardless, I only have one daughter and I’ve viewed you as my son
for a very long time. You don’t have to be so courteous with me.”
Dawson said this and moved to flick away the ashes. Jasper hurriedly got up and pushed the ashtray in
front of Dawson.
Dawson smiled with great satisfaction. A lot of people would want to do things for him with his current
status and position, but Jasper was different.
It was not just because of Jasper’s current position and status, but also because Jasper still held his
initial resolve. Dawson thought this was something very hard to come by.
“Actually, I thought about retiring entirely before, whereby I’d combine Schuler Corporations with JW.
However, after I thought about it for a long time, I decided to continue running this business for a few
more years.
“I also want to become a rich old fart who doesn’t need to work so I can do whatever I want to do.
However, after I watched your progress over the past two years, I felt I still needed to work for a few
more years. You’re too dangerous.”
“Regardless of your valuation, the risk of what you do increases exponentially as your assets grow.”
“When you have 100 bucks, you will dare to do a business worth 1000 bucks. When you have 10000
bucks, you dare to do a business worth 100000 bucks. Therefore, you have always been doing
business that could kill you at any given time.”
