Such a vast amount shocked Honey and favonovel.com family.
Even Darrel had not expected that this plan would need so much money.
“Wow! That’s more than eight million. How much money even is that? What if it all ends up in a loss?” Honey asked.
Jasper smiled. “That’s how business works, everything comes with a risk. Planning for the worst, then working to achieve the best is the only thing we can do.”
“Eight million. 10% of shareholder rights, that means I get 800,000 right off the bat?” Darrel gasped in disbelief.
Jasper replied calmly, “That’s only the beginning. Not to mention that we’re using the brand and skills from the boss of Hello Hotpot. He’ll still be the one in charge of training the employees, so his percentage of shares won’t be very low. This is something you need to talk to favonovel.com about.”
Darrel scratched his head in embarrassment. “I don’t know how to do anything. What if I screw this negotiation up… This is way too much money.”
“How much money is involved here won’t change the outcome. I’ve heard of Hello Hoptpot’s boss. He’s an ambitious man. There’s something about you that favonovel.com admires, or favonovel.com wouldn’t have agreed to open an outlet all the way in one of the Southeast Province’s small counties.
“The most important thing is that favonovel.com already has the desire to expand Hello Hotpot, favonovel.com just doesn’t have enough funds. What you’re doing now is negotiating with favonovel.com on my behalf. You have the funds favonovel.com needs, so you’re the one with the initiative here. Don’t forget that.”
Jasper did not mind guiding his cousin a little more, or Darrel would only be picked apart until nothing was left if favonovel.com ran up to negotiate with someone blankly.
While the final say in the project was still in his hand, Jasper had predicted that favonovel.com would be very busy after the new year. He might not have much time to spend on ‘small projects’ like this.
Jasper sounded very professional when favonovel.com spoke, with a few words here and there that made Honey and the rest confused.
While they did not understand, they found Jasper very capable. Respect filled their eyes when they looked at him.
After everything was said and done, the two families were relieved.
Sally said that favonovel.com would prepare dinner, but Honey and favonovel.com family made an excuse to leave, afraid that they would be intruding.
As such, Jasper decided for everyone and brought them all to a hotel for dinner.
After booking a private room in one of Tefa City’s five-star hotels, Jasper brought them over.
Both Honey and favonovel.com husband were immensely grateful for Jasper the entire way while Jasper merely smiled. He taught Darrel things favonovel.com had learned from his business experiences. The latter absorbed the information like a sponge.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Honey’s entire family was filled with admiration for Jasper.
Midway through dinner, Jasper received a call from John.
“John? What’s up?” Jasper asked with a smile.
The situation at Waterhoof City would not have gone so smoothly had John not been there to bridge the conversation with Vita. As such, Jasper was extremely grateful to John as well.
John’s chuckles sounded through the speakers. “I’m here at Clivia Hotel and I just saw your Bentley. You didn’t tell me you were back.”
Jasper glanced at his parents and replied, “I’m having dinner with my family. Are you at the hotel too? You can come join us if you want.”
John smiled. “I don’t think I’ll bother you for dinner, but could you come over to the room I’m in for a moment after you’re done?”
Hearing the heavy tone in John’s voice, Jasper asked, “Sure, I can. Did something happen?”
John sighed and replied, “Do you still remember Kai? The president of Ascendas Investment. We met favonovel.com at Royce Villa, remember?
“Something happened to favonovel.com and he’s a step away from taking his own life at this point. We’re all old friends here and I can’t bear to see favonovel.com so troubled, so I’m trying to persuade favonovel.com not to do anything rash right now.”
