South River Area was where the outstanding rich people of Sela gathered. The building of Sentel
Corporation’s headquarters had also been built here.
While sitting in the car, Jasper discovered that Sylphie had taken him to the base of the Sentel
Corporation office building. He could not help but ask, “Aren’t we touring Sela?”
Sylphie chuckled and proudly said, “South River Area is the symbol of Sela, and Sentel Corporation is
the symbol of South River Area. What better way to appreciate the scenery of Sela than to bring you
here?”
All the economically developed cities in the world were basically the same.
Towering skyscrapers and glass walls could be seen everywhere. The streets were very narrow and
crowded. Since every inch of land was worth a lot of money in a commercial area, no government
would be willing to build roads that were too wide in these places.
The streets were spotless. Impeccably dressed white-collar elites were everywhere and they were
either holding coffee or computers, chatting and laughing, or walking about in a hurry.
Jasper did not enter the Sentel Corporation building because it would be boring. Instead, be folded his
hands behind his back and went shopping aimlessly along with Sylphie’s company.
Suddenly, Jasper stopped in front of the window of a jewelry store.
When Sylphie saw that Jasper was staring at a swan-shaped brooch made from diamond in the back of
the shop window, she asked, “Are you buying a gift for something?”
Jasper nodded and smiled. “My fiancé. I’ve been to so many places, but I rarely bring her any gifts.
This brooch will suit her very well.”
As he was talking, Jasper called the salesperson over. “Wrap this for me,” Jasper said, pointing to the
brooch in the window.
The salesperson was obviously a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, sir. This brooch is for exhibit only and is
not for sale.”
Jasper could not understand Coreana, so he turned his head to look at Sylphie.
Sylphie did not translate for him but said something to the salesperson.
Soon, the salesperson held the packaged brooch in both hands and handed it to Jasper.
180 thousand US Dollars.
It could only be said that there were always things in this world with values beyond the imagination of
ordinary people.
After shopping for a while and buying the gifts that should be bought, Jasper and Sylphie walked into a
coffee shop.
They arbitrarily ordered two cups of coffee. The two were talking and laughing, but then, they saw that
the huge screen on the street was broadcasting financial news through the glass window.
During this period, every country in the world was the same. All financial news throughout the globe
could not detract themselves from the major news about the trading curb in the United States stock
market.
This was the first time in history that the Down Jones had reached a trading curb. It was significant
enough for the moderate-sized financial circle to talk about it for a long time.
“In a way, you are the number one person in the world.” Sylphie glanced at the news outside and said
to Jasper.
Jasper waved his hand and said, “What does it mean to be the number one person? I don’t want to be
the number one person if it’s going to be like this.”
“Do you dare to say that you are not at all proud of your achievements?” Sylphie asked curiously.
“I’d be lying to you if I said I’m not. When I am alone in the dead of night, I quietly feel delighted. After
all, I’m a man and men are constantly pursuing the feeling of being better than everyone throughout
their whole lives.”
“Every one of my actions attracts attention and affects the lives of countless people. This should be
how an emperor felt in ancient times,” Jasper said sincerely.
“But this feeling lasts for a very short time. The higher you stand, the stronger the wind you’ll have to
face. If you are unsteady, you will fall.”
“In Somerland, we have an old saying that goes ‘the higher you stand, the greater the fall’. This is
basically the truth behind the concept of power.”
Sylphie thought for a while and said, “Is it right to say that if you are in a business worth 10 million, you
can make a comeback if you fail, and even if you conduct a business worth 100 million, you can still
start all over again if you fall, but at this point it’s no longer possible?”
Jasper took a sip of coffee. The bitter and rich taste filled his mouth. He said, “It’s almost the same
thing. There are far more people who want me to fall than those who want me to stand firm.”
“But no matter what others think, I have the clearest understanding of my current situation. I can only
move onward and upward, and I can’t look back. Once I turn around, it’s all over.”
Sylphie replied apologetically, “I understand the pressure you’re feeling now. As a friend, I am sorry, my
influence on my grandpa is limited and I cannot convince him to give you more help.”
“This decision is major and important. Mr. Kit has his own considerations. I believe he will make the
right choice.” Jasper smiled.
“Grandpa will talk to you directly in the next negotiation,” Sylphie said suddenly.
Jasper was taken aback for a moment and nodded, “This is for the best because I don’t have much
time and I can’t stay in Sela for long. Thank you for the information.”
At this moment, the conversation between the two men on the table next to them caught their attention.
“Haha, I really want to thank the JW Foundation. I followed them and shorted the Nikkei Index. I made
quite a lot of money from that!”
A man in a delicate suit said excitedly.
The man on the opposite side was obviously not in a good mood. He cursed, “Joey, stop making
cynical remarks. I’ve suffered a miserable loss.”
“You don’t play with stocks anyway. What are you losing?” Joey asked curiously.
“It’s all because of the plunge of the Nikkei Index. The company in Sunrise Land that our company
worked with is on the verge of bankruptcy, so our company lost a major customer. The worst thing is
that I’m in charge of this customer. Damn, I think JW Foundation can go to hell! ”
Joey sneered and answered, “How can you blame JW Foundation for your company’s lack of strength?
But then again, the stock market has been turbulent recently, and it is difficult for entities to do
business, especially for foreign trade companies. A lot of my friends in this industry lost their jobs.”
The man sitting opposite Joey gritted his teeth and said, “That’s why I said JW Foundation can go to
hell!”
“No matter how you curse them, they’re the upper-class who are high up the social ladder. They can’t
hear you no matter how loud you curse.”
Sylphie grinned at Jasper after Joey said that.
Jasper shrugged to hide his embarrassment. Sorry, he heard what the man said.
“I’m curious. Why didn’t any companies from Coreana take part in something so major? Take Sentel
Corporation, for example, I don’t think they like to be left out, right?”
“It’ll be great if our country’s Sentel can join so I can make some money.”
When Jasper heard this, he got up and paid the bill with some US Dollars. Then, he said to Sylphie,
“Come, let’s go back.”
“Are we going to talk to Grandpa?” Sylphie started to feel nervous for some reason.
“We’re going to give the citizens of Coreana a chance to make money.” Jasper guffawed and
answered.
