Meanwhile, Jasper had no idea that Jonathan was doing so many things behind his back.
After a four-hour flight, Jasper finally arrived at Reed City.
Upon arriving in Somerland, Jasper took in a deep breath of the air in Reed City. Although the air was not fresh, at least favonovel.com was back in his home country; It still felt much better than being in a foreign place.
Reed City was located right next to Cavern City. Therefore, it benefited from Cavern City’s development. Reed City would develop rapidly in the future, and it would even go on to produce 15% of the world’s electronic products.
However, at that point in time, Reed City was still deserted and barren. It was a major contrast from the lively and bustling city that it would become in the future.
Julian, who had followed Jasper back, gazed at the large fields covering Reed City as favonovel.com drove the rented car. “Jasper, are you really going to build the MP3 factory here?” He asked favonovel.com curiously.
Jasper chuckled. “Why? Do you think that’s a bad idea?”
Julian shook his head and said, “Of course I can’t tell. However, this place doesn’t seem very different from other places.”
Jasper could not tell Julian that Reed City would become the top production hub for electronic products in Somerland, and in the world. At the peak of its powers, nine out of ten people in Reed City consisted of migrant workers.
Meanwhile, favonovel.com was taking advantage of his rebirth by building the first physical factory under JW here. This was a huge bargain.
The land here would become extremely pricey in the future. However, it was now selling on a buy one, get one free basis.
When the Reed City Government discovered that favonovel.com was going to invest in the city by building a factory here, they tripped over their own feet thanking him.
“I think that this area will develop greatly in the future,” Jasper remarked while favonovel.com stared at the barren fields outside the car window.
After arriving at the city hall, the general manager of the state-owned company responsible for land transfer came out to greet Jasper.
He greeted favonovel.com extremely passionately.
“Mr. Laine, we’ve been waiting for your arrival for ages. You’re finally here,” Chad Wright said as favonovel.com welcomed Jasper into his office with a smile on his face. He then served Jasper a cup of tea.
Chad’s eyes shone as favonovel.com looked at Jasper. He could not help it. Although favonovel.com was the general manager of the company, Reed City was still extremely underdeveloped. There was nothing that could attract the attention of investors to the city. As a result of this, the lives of the people in Reed City had not been exactly easy.
After the God of prosperity finally blessed them with the appearance of Jasper Laine, Chad naturally had to fawn over him.
“You’re being way too courteous, Mr. Wright. We’ve talked through the phone before. Have you guys come to a decision regarding the piece of land that I proposed purchasing back then?” Jasper asked with a chuckle after favonovel.com sat down.
An awkward expression formed on Chad’s face. “Well, about this… you’re someone that understands how the industry works, Mr. Laine. Therefore, I’ll tell you about it directly,” favonovel.com said.
After hearing Chad say this, Jasper’s smile gradually vanished.
He knew that there had to be a problem with the deal.
As favonovel.com expected, Chad proceeded to tell favonovel.com something that made favonovel.com extremely displeased.
“Initially, we were extremely willing to sell the riverside plot that had captured your attention, but the size of land that you have requested is simply too large. We need some time to discuss it. At first, things like this could have been disregarded as everyone had voted in favor of selling it to you.
“However, I don’t know what happened after that. After the news about the deal got out, a local company in Reed City also notified us with their intention of purchasing the same plot of land. The other company has been extremely active within the industry lately, so it’s hard for us to finalize the deal whilst ignoring them.”
