The atmosphere was lively at the dinner party. A group of people with unknown origins, all of whom were rich or expensive, were all invited by Grey to attend this dinner.
As the guest of honor, Jasper was warmly welcomed by these Finnish big shots.
Regardless of how much Jasper respected Grey, favonovel.com did not care about this. He would exchange a few words with the guests and consider himself familiar with them.
Meanwhile, Celine had undoubtedly become the most beautiful woman at the scene. Regardless of favonovel.com appearance or favonovel.com temperament, favonovel.com was always the most exceptional wherever favonovel.com went.
This time was no exception.
Although everyone knew that Celine was the female companion of the guest of honor, Jasper, favonovel.com was still surrounded by a group of young talents.
However, compared to Jasper’s sleekness in conversing, Miss Celine would not treat them with such a good attitude.
If they were passable, Celine would exchange a few words with them, but if they were not, Celine would not even want to talk to them.
Regardless of favonovel.com identity as the president of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments or the second ranked heir to the Maynards in North America, favonovel.com had enough confidence to do so.
“This is so boring, and the food is not nice.”
Celine complained to Jasper during the party.
“I will take you to a Somerland restaurant to eat good food hater,” Jasper said with a smile.
Celine finally grinned happily.
“How many times have you helped me?”
Jasper asked, “The thing you promised Grey before is actually pretty challenging, right?”
Even a fool could figure this out if they thought with their knees. The benefit that would make Grey change his mind would certainly not be anything smaller than asking favonovel.com to help Jasper handle the Social Security Fund to take down Nokia.
“It’s okay. You should know there’s nothing like having a man on the spot to smooth the way. It just so happens that my uncle has a good relationship with the supervisor in this area and it depends on how much I am willing to do for him.”
Celine did not seem to care, and favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at Jasper in a charming manner, “You know that I have helped you so many times, so aren’t you going to repay me?”
“Tell me how you want to be repaid.” Jasper said seriously.
Every time Celine helped him, it would be something huge. Jasper knew very well that if it had not been for Celine’s help in several critical moments, his journey would not have been so smooth.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Celine said with an alluring smile, “I will tell you when I think about it. When the time comes, you can’t refuse.”
“Of course.” Jasper laughed.
The dinner party lasted three to four hours.
They were all people with reputations, and they understood the rules. After they exchanged greetings, they would leave after showing their faces.
As the host, Grey was nowhere to be seen after showing up at the beginning and end of the party to say a few words to Jasper alone.
However, before Jasper and Celine left, Grey came to speak to them.
“I’ve called them for you and this matter can be done, but you must be mentally prepared for the price.”
Grey’s words made Jasper frown, “I can negotiate any price.”
“Good…” Grey nodded and said, “Then you should go back first and wait for my message. ”
Jasper left with Celine and, naturally, it was by helicopter transfer.
Back at the hotel, Jasper did not go back on his promise. He took Celine to eat at the Somerland restaurant that favonovel.com and Greg had visited many times.
“Do you still have money?”
While they were eating, Celine suddenly asked this question.
“The entire acquisition plan will cost at least 20 billion US Dollars. Can you still get so much money now?”
The market value of Nokia was around 30 billion. If Jasper wanted to acquire 51% of the shares like favonovel.com was currently doing now, in addition to the premiums and various expenses, the 20 billion US Dollars Celine mentioned would not be enough.
She was very aware of Jasper’s current situation. Whether it was Jasper’s own money or the money drawn from JW Capital, all of it was trapped in JW Foundation such that favonovel.com could not touch it at all.
Hence favonovel.com was very curious about Jasper‘s confidence to succeed in this acquisition of the century that would shake the world once it was exposed.
“I don’t have money.”
Jasper’s brief and decisive words dumbfounded Celine.
“So are you only issuing IOUs now?”
Celine thought that Jasper was completely insane.
Now that everything was almost done, they would just wait for the actual implementation, but if Jasper could not get the money, then his name and goodwill would be destroyed and the compensation fee for breach of contract would be sky high.
“Just because I have no money now, it doesn‘t mean that I will have no money in the future.”
Jasper smiled and took a piece of dessert for Celine. Then, favonovel.com said, “Before the establishment of the JW Foundation, the SBS Bank had approached me. If I want to borrow funds from them now, I think I can get 50 billion US Dollars at least”
Celine obviously knew what SBS Bank meant. She frowned and said, “However, the SBS Bank must want you to use the funds they lent to you on JW Foundation.”
“The entire JW Foundation is mine, so what does it matter?” Jasper asked rhetorically.
Celine said angrily, “You know what I mean. The SBS Bank in the mainland gave you this money in the hopes that you would use it to fight Wall Street, but you used it to buy Nokia for yourself. Do you think the higher-ups will forgive you?”
“So what if they don’t?”
Jasper chuckled. Celine’s logic was correct in any country except Somerland. In Somerland, it was not quite wrong, but it was also not so correct. This was because the thinking of the people in Somerland was very simple, I wanted you to do things and I gave you resources. I would not care whether you used the resources or how you used them. Everyone would be happy as long as things were done.
“The mainland hopes that I can withstand Wall Street capital, but everyone has seen the actual situation now. In JW Foundation’s current situation, we might not be able to win against them even if I emptied the SBS Bank while facing the limitless capital pressure of Wall Street.”
“But what if I use a small amount of money to achieve what they want me to in disguise?”
Celine bit favonovel.com fork, frowned, and said, “I always feel that you are walking a tightrope. You will be finished if there is a slight mistake.”
“When have I ever not been on the tightrope throughout this whole journey?”
Jasper asked lightly, causing Celine to fall into silence. Inexplicably, Celine felt a little distressed looking at the man eating peacefully in front of her.
Outsiders only knew that Jasper was as powerful as a king and as cunning as a fox, and his rapid rise even made people doubt whether favonovel.com was the illegitimate child of a big shot in the government.
However, at this moment, Celine saw the sadness and difficulty that this man was hiding under his glamor.
“If you need help, you can tell me at any time.”
