“You also said that knowing who the other party is nothing more than deciding what to do next.”
“But since the other party’s power will only be higher and not lower than mine, there is no possibility of discussing this matter now that they have taken action.”
Jasper pondered, “The most important thing is that I don’t have the time and energy to wrestle with such a group of people now.”
“I will acquire Nokia regardless of whether they want me to or not. I have already given so much in the early stages. Now, no one can stop me from continuing to accomplish this no matter what method they use on me.”
“How many shares have you bought for me?”
Celine replied, “About 9% in total.”
Jasper frowned and said, “Now I have 23.1% of the shares on hand, it’s only 32.1% after adding this 9%. It’s not enough, far from enough.”
Celine said, “The only thing you can get right now is the 22% of the shares owned by the Finland National Social Security Fund. Once you take these shares, your shareholding ratio will reach 51% or more and you will complete the holding.”
“But the majority is more than two-thirds of the equity, which is 67%. There are only two ways to achieve this.”
Celine immediately replied, “Either you increase equity after completing the holding or you continue to acquire shares in the stock market, but by doing this, you will undoubtedly collide with the people who are fighting against you.”
“Now JW Foundation’s funds are trapped in a temporarily locked account and you can’t touch it. Even if you can, the consequences will be too great. After all, it is likely to accelerate the death of JW Foundation in advance.”
Jasper said with a solemn expression, “Then we can only choose to increase equity after completing the holding.”
“But if you want to be the majority shareholder, you have to buy 22% of the shares held by the Finland National Social Security Fund. We have already evaluated this matter. Do you want to know the conclusion we got to?”
Celine looked at Jasper with a faint smile and without waiting for favonovel.com to speak, favonovel.com replied, “It’s 0.”
The corners of Jasper’s mouth twitched.
Although favonovel.com knew that the probability of this was very low, after Celine gave favonovel.com an official evaluation on behalf of Colossal Investments, favonovel.com still felt his heart turning cold.
As the world’s number one investment bank, it could be said that as long as you could provide the money, Colossal Investments’ scope of business was almost unlimited.
Meanwhile, their biggest business was procurement. For example, helping companies from all over the world to float in various trading centers around the world or, for example, Jasper putting forward a demand right now for Colossal Investments to use their resources to help favonovel.com find sellers or people who could otherwise resolve his problems.
For such an investment bank, its internal risk assessment team was undoubtedly the best in the world. Jasper knew this very well. JW Capital would not be able to catch up to Colossal Investments for another 20 years. This had nothing to do with money. It was entirely the accumulation of systems and talent reserves over the years.
Now that Celine had given favonovel.com this judgment, normal people would just declare the matter hopeless.
Yet, for Jasper…
“I still have a way.”
Jasper took out the business card that favonovel.com had not used much since favonovel.com got it. There was only one title, one name, and one phone number on the card.
Grey Van Hallen, the hereditary Viscount of Finland.
Jasper thought for a while and dialed the number on the business card.
Celine also got up from the sofa curiously and leaned in. She wanted to know what Jasper would do to solve this problem.
The call went through quickly.
“Hello, this is the residence of Viscount Grey.”
Fluent English came from the other end of the phone.
“I’m looking for Viscount Grey.”
Jasper said. After thinking about it, favonovel.com guessed that such a rich nobleman might have forgotten himself, so favonovel.com added, “If the Viscount asks who I am, please tell favonovel.com that his friend from the beach at Coreana half a month ago wants his help.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
While waiting, Celine widened favonovel.com eyes and asked curiously, “Viscount? There aren’t many nobles left in Finland. Who do you know?”
Jasper said after favonovel.com covered the microphone, “Grey Van Hallen, do you know him?”
“It’s him!”
Celine did know him.
She said with a weird expression, “I don’t know this guy, but I have heard of him. How should I say this? Some people think favonovel.com is very difficult to get along with, but others think favonovel.com is a very loyal person.”
“Let’s see if you’re his type, but since favonovel.com gave you his business card, I don’t think favonovel.com has a bad impression of you.”
“Finland is a very special country. There were nobles in the past, but after so long, not many remain.”
“Although the remaining nobles are very low key, they hold the invisible power of Finland. If favonovel.com is willing to help you, then you might really have a chance in this.”
After listening to Celine, Jasper looked at favonovel.com suspiciously and said, “How do you know him?”
“There are still a few hereditary nobles left. Except for the United Kingdom, there are only 180 left in the world and you can count the Finnish ones on one hand. When it comes to the more high profile ones, you’ll eventually hear about them so long as their statuses are slightly higher.”
As soon as Celine finished speaking, a voice came from the phone in Jasper’s hand.
“Haha! Are you my friend, Jasper?”
Listening to Grey’s enthusiastic voice on the phone, Jasper also breathed a sigh of relief. He said, “I am in Finland now and I wonder if there is a chance for me to visit your residence?”
Grey answered, “The door of my place is always open for friends. Where are you staying? I will send someone to pick you up.”
After telling Grey the location and name of the hotel where favonovel.com was staying, Jasper and Grey exchanged courtesies before hanging up.
Jasper thought that Grey would pick favonovel.com up in an extravagant convoy at most. However, if favonovel.com knew in advance that Grey would send a helicopter formation for him, favonovel.com figured favonovel.com would turn it down.
“Didn’t you say that the nobles in Finland are very low key? You call this low key?”
On the helipad on the hotel’s rooftop, Jasper pointed to the slowly descending helicopter and loudly asked Celine, who was next to favonovel.com while facing the strong wind and loud noise.
Celine covered favonovel.com mouth and smiled, but the noise at the scene was too loud so favonovel.com did not speak loudly like Jasper. After all, this was not lady-like at all.
The first helicopter landed, and there were two more hovering nearby. Jasper raised his head to take a look and realized that… Oh damn, those were armed helicopters with weapons dangling from them.
Jasper then lowered his head against the strong wind while favonovel.com grabbed Celine with his other hand and ran toward the helicopter without hesitation.
