Jasper and Prince’s battle came and went quickly, like a tremendous gust of wind.
People within the industry were still watching the situation and predicting whether Clear Seas’ huge capital would enter the market to help their crown prince when the battle had suddenly ended.
Jasper walked out away with complete victory. Of course, everyone was smart and they knew that the matter was far from over.
“Vere’s currently being held back by something outside the country. To old crafty people like him, a small issue or some trouble their child was facing is far less important than some huge partnership they were formally negotiating.”
“To a group as huge as Clear Seas, these three listed companies can hardly be considered important businesses, so it’s not worth making a big deal out of losing them.”
“The only thing that probably rattled favonovel.com would be Prince involvement in a homicide.”
Jasper analyzed the current situation with Henry in the restaurant.
More than combing through the situation, Jasper was trying to guide Henry into understanding the thought process of someone from a higher status as well as their perspective.
Henry also realized that this incident had indeed affected favonovel.com to some degree. It taught favonovel.com that in front of true bigshots, the simple identity of the Law family’s third generation was far from enough.
In the end, having a powerful background when fighting someone of a high enough rank only ensured that favonovel.com would not be killed off. After all, no one would want to risk a full out war with the Law family by killing Henry.
“What should we do next, then?” Henry asked.
Jasper shook his head but did not engage on Henry’s topic. Instead, favonovel.com grabbed his wine glass and clinked it with Henry’s before favonovel.com asked, “When are you going back to Harbor City?”
Henry looked at Jasper as if the other was a ghost. “How did you know I’m going back?!
“After what happened this time, there’s no way you can still fool around here in the Mainlands. Either you get your life together once you go back this time, or you stay in Harbor City obediently for the rest of your life.”
Henry’s expressions darkened. Jasper’s words had hit favonovel.com where it hurt.
While Harbor City was still much more developed than the Mainlands, and there were many better places to enjoy one’s self there, the problem with Harbor City was that the place was too small. Henry had long enjoyed his fill of Harbor City, so the Mainlands were comparatively much more attractive to him.
More importantly, favonovel.com and Jill’s relationship was still at its early stages. While the two were currently in conflict, every relationship had its ups and downs, and favonovel.com would not give up on Jill over something so insignificant.
“I’ll go back and see what my dad says. I’m bored of Harbor City already, so worse come to worst, I’ll just agree to some condition that involves losing autonomy, but I’d be my own man.” Henry was very confident.
Jasper smiled and replied, “There’s another month or so before I have to start setting up for the huge and profitable plan. Stay in Harbor City before then, and I’ll have your dad let you out once the time’s right.”
Henry’s eyes lit up and this good news immediately diluted most of the dejection favonovel.com felt from being dragged around and locked at home by his dad.
“Deal!”
“Deal!”
Once favonovel.com decided to leave, there was no point on dwelling around any longer. Thus, after lunch that afternoon, Henry bought a ticket back to Harbor City from Waterhoof City.
After Henry left, Jasper started communicating with Jake.
This was a huge opportunity Jasper had had his eyes on since favonovel.com reincarnated. The biggest chance to earn big money within the next five years.
Jasper had also hoped to win big with this opportunity, and had already accumulated all the capital JW would require in its inception. It was never too early to plan for something this big.
“Clear all my securities accounts in the United States’ share market.”
Jasper’s first sentence stunned Jake in Harbor City.
“Mr. Laine, the economy is stable worldwide right now, and the plummet brought by the bursting of the dot com bubble from before has also begun to recover. According to our predictions, we’re still very far from the peak.”
“To sell the securities now would be to give up all the interest we could gain in the short term…”
As Jasper’s subordinate, and an important figure in the investment Learn, Jake had the right to propose his opinions to Jasper.
Despite this, Jasper shook his head and took a sip from his teacup. “Let me ask you. How many assets do I have in the United States share market?”
Jake immediately replied, “You currently hold six stocks in the United States Securities Exchange, four stocks in New York Securities Exchange, and twelve stocks in Nasdaq Securities Exchange. The total amount from all three exchanges adds up to…”
After a small pause, Jake continued, “Adds up to 1 billion and 468 million Somer Dollars. In addition to the 200 million reserve funds, you have a asset pool of 1 billion and 668 million Somer Dollars.”
Jasper nodded, satisfied with this amount.
Jasper had control of less than 1.2 billion worth of assets in the United States’ stock market when favonovel.com first had Jake start managing them.
After more than half a year, thanks to the exciting recovery of the economy, favonovel.com had managed to earn a profit of 500 million. This was a wonderful result no matter how favonovel.com had invested it.
“Do you think it’d be that easy to liquidate so many stocks when the stock market becomes bearish?”
