Among the four families, the Laws were the most special and with the highest status in the Mainland.
He was no longer a mere businessman. In terms of status, his might be in an even higher position than both of Swallow Capital’s mayors.
Regardless of whether his status was above or below the mayors’, it was destined for his every action to be under public scrutiny.
Not only were the two Swallow Capital mayors confused seeing how close Old Master Law and Jasper were, but even the other three families out of the major four seemed intrigued at the sight.
Then, Spencer and Joe came over to greet Jasper.
Followed lastly by Wallace Langdon who favonovel.com had never met before.
The stern and meticulous old man was followed closely by his son Kennedy. Now Kennedy, Jasper was acquainted.
“You’re quite the outstanding young man,” Wallace smiled and praised.
“Thank you, Mr. Langdon, but there’s still a lot I have to learn from all of you.” Jasper was still very attentive and detailed when it came to greeting people. His words were smooth in a way that made favonovel.com seem much older than the 20-something-year-old favonovel.com was.
Wallace chuckled. “Harbor City really is too small, especially in the past two years. I don’t like how heavy and dead the air is. I’m glad there are youths like you to liven it up. We’ve got to let them know that there’ll always be someone better.
“I’ve also realized that the Mainland seems to be flourishing much more than we thought, considering how it managed to produce such promising youth like you. I’m certain that the Mainland market will be in for a great future.
“You should come in contact with more Mainlanders these days, Kennedy. Don’t simply believe that the Mainland is behind us. Know that your roots and our ancestors were all from the Mainland. Not to mention the Mainland has a boundless future, and it’ll only be a short amount of time before it surpasses Harbor City.
“With such a big market here, we can follow the Laws’ footsteps and start investing in the Mainland as well.”
Kennedy replied courteously, “Yes, Father.”
Wallace’s words had easily brightened up the two mayors’ moods. The four families’ approval of the Mainland was in extension approval to them as well.
It would be beneficial to the country and its citizens if they managed to use this opportunity and persuade Harbor City’s four families and other important businessmen to invest in the Mainland.
With that being said, Swallow Capital’s two major figures found themselves more fond of Jasper. They thought this young man was very capable, and under their nurturing, could turn out into a great asset.
Following the four major families were renowned rich men of Harbor City.
Among them was Bob Lancaster, the Smith brothers, Tenson Davis, and other names that favonovel.com knew from his past life.
He had seen some of them before, but there were also those favonovel.com never had the fortune of meeting.
Still, everyone was polite with one another.
After all, this was a situation where even true enemies had to force a smile at each other, or they would only be seen as unreasonable.
Not to mention that Harbor City did, in a way, owe Jasper, so even the Smith brothers who were a competing rival in the media and entertainment industry were very polite with Jasper. After a long conversation, they exchanged contact information.
After the short welcoming ceremony, everyone proceeded to get into their own specified cars before heading to the hotel.
Arriving at the hotel, Jasper then spoke with Old Master Law again. However, the old master was far from young and the long flight had taken a toll on him. Plus, favonovel.com also had other important people to meet that afternoon.
As such, Jasper did not overstay his welcome and excused himself after a short chat.
Zachary was the one who sent Jasper out the door.
“How’s the preparation for the banquet going? It’s starting tomorrow, isn’t it? Is there anything I can help with?” Zachary asked.
Jasper smiled. “Everything’s prepared. I don’t think there’ll be any issues.”
Zachary nodded and smiled, looking pleased. “That’s great, then. We’ll talk more after the banquet is over. This is a grand event, so do your best and make sure it’s perfect!”
