Dawson replied plainly, “They already had no choice but to throw away one billion of investment funds, so what’s a bit of luggage?”
Jasper commented indifferently, “At least they fled fast.”
The Hulls had managed to truly infuriate both Jasper and Dawson.
Jasper and Dawson would have no issue with others as long as they played according to the rules.
Yet the Hull family had ignored the regulations and overstepped their boundaries!
Not to mention that this overstep by the Hulls had been a trigger to both Jasper and Dawson.
“This is only the beginning. A loss of one billion is just a surface injury to them, it’s not detrimental enough. I’m going to break them apart next and thoroughly remove them from the market forever!”
Jasper’s unfazed tone was filled with determination.
Dawson nodded in agreement. “Deal with them thoroughly or you’ll be in for future complications. There’s no way the two families can reconcile anymore, so there’s no point in showing mercy at such a crucial time. Whatever you do next, make sure you do it quickly.”
Jasper smiled. “Don’t worry. I already have a plan and it’ll be set in motion very soon.”
Dawson pat Jasper’s shoulder in relief. “I’ve never questioned your work… but there’s something that I have to discuss with you about.”
“Now that the North Bank is deserted, the city’s government is being very ambiguous about their plans with it. As far as they’re concerned, since they’ve already given the land out, the advertisement that’s already published will be seen as a huge joke if they take the land back due to the Hull family pulling out from the contract.
“There’s no way the decision-maker in the city’s government will allow such tarnish. Especially not when the development of the South Bank is completed and everyone can see the situation in the North Bank.
“We wouldn’t be having this problem if the North Bank had never been put on the development agenda in the beginning, but since it’s already there and its groundwork is already completed, there isn’t much of an option left.”
Dawson’s words were very ambiguous, but Jasper could hear the intent behind them.
“So the city’s government wants us to take over it?”
Dawson smiled. “Correct.”
Jasper frowned. “You’ll need to invest 1.5 times of what’s been invested in the South Bank if you want to develop the North Bank. That’s not very beneficial.”
“Duality is present in everything. If you look at it from a different angle, the North Bank might not be as worthless as you think,” Dawson reminded.
Jasper arched an eyebrow. “Or perhaps, we could develop the North Bank with a completely different plan?
“Say, for example, a villa district? There are a lot of mountains and trees there, and it’s just by the Southface River that’s surrounded by a few old villages. The economy isn’t flourishing there, but that’s also why it has maintained most of its natural ecological appearance. We might end up with a completely different effect if we develop it into a villa district for the rich.”
Dawson looked at Jasper in approval. “Good job, you’ve got a sharp and clear mind there. It took me an entire night to think of this.”
Jasper smiled. “I wouldn’t have thought of it if you didn’t remind me… but what about transport?”
Dawson smiled. “We’ll charge it at a tenth of the normal price, just for formality’s sake. Since the Hull family has already paid for it for us.”
Jasper’s eyes shone. “Then it’s completely possible. Instead of business development, a villa district would greatly lower our costs and still complement the South Bank. With the North and South Bank together, we’d reap much greater rewards.”
“And we’ll be making it easy on the city’s government.” Dawson smiled.
Jasper nodded. “Alright. JW Real Estate will take this project, then.”
