“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. Grandpa is right here and I’m just speaking on his behalf.
“If I say anything wrong, Grandpa will correct me. If favonovel.com doesn’t then you can take it as me completely representing my grandpa.”
When Dean saw Jasper looking at him, favonovel.com bowed slightly and said with a smile.
Jasper grinned when favonovel.com looked at the refined Dean. He said, “Let’s start then. However, I don’t have much time so it’s best if we hurry up.”
Dean nodded and said softly, “Of course, I’ll get straight to the point then. First, I need to know how confident you are, Mr. Laine.”
“Of course, I am very confident.”
Jasper shook his hand and said carefreely, “It’s just a fight on the stock market. I never lost and the other party is just some irrelevant rat.”
Dean was slightly stunned. Then, favonovel.com shook his head and said with a chuckle, “You’re joking, Mr. Laine.”
“You’re the one who started joking with me first.”
Jasper said calmly, “This time, our enemy is the entirety of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, yet you’re asking if I’m confident? Aren’t you joking with me?!”
Pfft.
Henry could not hold in his laughter.
Dean shook his head and chuckled. He was not mad at all. At least, it was clear that Dean’s self-restraint was admirable.
“It’s indeed my mistake.”
Dean smiled apologetically. Then, favonovel.com said to Jasper, “This is not about whether you’re confident. Mr. Laine, everyone clearly understands the situation right now and it’s still the same as what grandpa said just now.”
“I can take out the money at any time, but I can’t invest this in you, I can only lend it to you.”
“It’s not a problem, but asking me to put my company as collateral is unrealistic,” Jasper said.
Dean was still warm as always. He said softly, “Well, this is not a small amount There’s a risk to taking the money out too. If we don’ t have any collateral, how can we lend it to you?”
“Actually, I have two proposals, so please choose, Mr. Laine.”
When Jasper heard that Dean was finally being realistic, favonovel.com sat up straight and put on a serious expression.
“The first one is what my grandpa proposed, which is putting up JW as collateral. However, since you’ve rejected that option, let’s not talk about that.”
“The second option is that we can lend the money to you free of interest with a time limit of three months. Of course, in order to make sure the funds are safe, I will have the right to know about the flow of the funds at any given time…”
“Also, if you can’t pay us back in three months, then JW Company will use 50% of its annual profit to pay back this debt for the next 10 years.”
Dean smiled harmlessly at Jasper when favonovel.com said this. Then, favonovel.com continued, “What do you think about the second proposal?”
Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Okay.”
Jasper’s decisiveness caused Gale and Dean to have surprised looks on their faces.
They thought Jasper would need some time to think or would try to negotiate some better terms. However, Jasper did not do anything before agreeing with it decisively.
This was out of the two’s expectations.
“I told you, there will be a lot of things going on next, so I have to handle this as soon as possible,” Jasper said.
Dean smiled and nodded, “Mr. Laine is a straightforward person who will do big things. If that’s the case, we won’t waste your time. We’ll draft a contract right away. After it’s notarized, the money will immediately be transferred to your account.”
“Great.” Jasper nodded and smiled.
Soon, Dean personally drafted an agreement.
There was no doubt about the professionalism of this agreement. Jasper took it and looked through it. Then, favonovel.com faxed it back to Nauritus City to let the professional legal team of JW Company evaluate it so they could confirm that there were no problems with the agreement. After that, favonovel.com immediately signed it.
After favonovel.com did all of this, Jasper got up and bade his farewell. By then, it was already evening. However, Jasper did not stay for dinner nor did Gale invite him.
Everyone was busy, so if they could forgo these irrelevant and unnecessary social niceties, they would do so.
Gale was old, so after Jasper signed the contract, favonovel.com went back to rest. Meanwhile, Dean was responsible for sending Jasper and his gang to the door of the manor. “Mr. Laine, please be careful on your way back.”
“Dean, please hold on.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled softly.
“I think this will be a joyous collaboration,” Dean said sincerely.
“Hopefully…”
Jasper turned around and got into the car after favonovel.com said that
After Dean watched the car leave, favonovel.com turned and went back to the manor.
Inside one of the rooms, Gale was lying on an interesting and appealing bamboo couch as favonovel.com rested his eyes.
This room was semi-opened. When one lay on the bamboo couch, they could see the garden. The fake mountain babbled with running water as the green of the leaves accentuated the colors of the flowers. The view was spectacular.
After Dean entered the room, favonovel.com walked to Gale’s side. When favonovel.com saw the blanket sliding down Gale’s body, favonovel.com tiptoed over to pick up the blanket for Gale.
Even though favonovel.com was doing it softly, favonovel.com still woke Gale.
“You are back.” After Gale noticed Dean, favonovel.com half-closed his eyes and relaxed before favonovel.com said slowly.
“Yes, they’re gone. Sorry for disturbing your rest,” Dean said warmly.
Gale lifted his hand that was resting next to his body and waved it slightly. Then, favonovel.com said lazily, “It’s fine. I’m old so my sleep will be light… What do you think?”
Even though this question seemed to come out of nowhere, Dean immediately understood what Gale meant.
He hesitated and said, “It seems a little weird, but looking at the big picture, it’s still in accordance with our plan.”
“Weird?” Gale opened his eyes and said with a half-smile, “Are you referring to when favonovel.com chose the second option so quickly after you proposed two options for favonovel.com without even hesitating or negotiating terms?”
Dean nodded and said profoundly, “Yes, based on my assumptions and according to the information I have of him, favonovel.com shouldn’t have answered me so quickly.”
