Hanging up the call, Jasper handed the phone back to Erik.
“Let’s move on from this incident, then.”
Jasper replied faintly, “Of course. But if you don’t think this is fair, you’re always welcome to keep handing me benefits, Mr. Turner. You’re always welcome.”
Erik gnawed his molars indignantly as his expression hardened. “Asking for two billion right off the bat, aren’t you afraid it’ll come to bite you back in the *ss?”
Jasper chuckled. “Bite me? Money that I dare to ask for has never come to bite me back.”
Erik glanced at Jasper intently and turned to leave without another word.
After Erik left, Henry narrowed his eyes and spoke, “I really want to kidnap that man right now. Something tells me we won’t be seeing the last of him.”
Jasper merely sighed. “We’ll just have to hope that favonovel.com isn’t an idiot…”
Henry thought about Jasper’s meaningful words and asked, “You mean to say that Brad won’t just give up so easily?”
Jasper replied with a shocked tone, “You actually got it right this time!”
“F*ck you too, you b*stard! What am I to you, an idiot?” With a dark expression, Henry left the room in a huff for a smoke.
…
The incident with the Turner family had come to an end.
This time, Jasper earned one billion while Henry earned 250 million.
In addition, Jasper had also gotten the rights to host the celebratory banquet for Swallow Capital gaining approval to host the Olympics.
The biggest benefit of all was that the Turner family had withdrawn from competing for the Olympic Village project.
While this did not mean that the Law family was guaranteed to take over the 30 billion Somer Dollars project, at least one of their strongest competitors had left the competition.
While it hurt the Turner family to let go of the project, both the Turner and the Law families were well aware that the Olympic Village project was not a simple project any family could easily take on. No one knew what the future held.
Such a project definitely required the supervision of higher officials, and one’s family’s identity would only prove to be shackles instead of a boost when communicating with such high officials.
After all, the people in charge might not choose to split the entire cake with formidable families only. It was just another tactic to control the balance of benefits.
That was why the Turner family gave it up and moved on. From their understanding, even if they did not give it up, it was still unlikely for them to get the project.
If that was the case, they might as well put their focus on fighting for other stadiums.
All in all, it could be considered a huge win for Jasper and the Law family.
The following morning, Jasper held a conference meeting in Easy Media once favonovel.com received the two billion from the Turner family.
He gave all the employees a few days worth of holidays, and the moral decline within the company was dramatic. All sorts of rumors began to fly around.
Most of them spoke of how their new boss, Jasper, had offended some big shots in Swallow Capital. Now, the entire company was going to close down with Jasper’s impending bankruptcy.
It was a matter of their salary, so all the employees were waiting for Jasper to explain himself.
Yet in face of such rumors, Jasper did not clarify anything at all.
Instead, all Jasper did was release the news that favonovel.com had gotten the right to host the celebratory banquet.
Everyone present was surprised, and the senior executives in the conference room looked at Jasper as if favonovel.com was a divine god.
