Not really.
Jasper was in a great mood as he rode back to the hotel. There was a reason why JW Capital only did angel investments and had rarely been involved in the country’s securities financial market.
This was because JW Capital, whom Jasper was the majority shareholder of, did not have a financial license.
It was almost impossible to get such a thing.
Most importantly, there was no way anyone could get their hands on it without the support of state funds. Supervision over this licensing would only be founded slightly later on, after 2008.
Jasper could involve himself in the securities market secretly, and like a majority of financial companies, the government would normally turn a blind eye.
However, Jasper did not plan to take this risk. Fortunately, while he was picking up scraps in Tefa City, he had managed to come across this license.
He had hit jackpot with this opportunity.
Forget 100 million, Jasper would be willing to pay 500 million for this company and license.
However, Jasper was now curious about why Downstream Investments had a license this time despite it not having one during his past life.
Jasper had no idea of what had changed in these two timelines. He had just gotten back to the hotel when Baz arrived
soon after.
“It’s done, Mr. Laine!” Baz was still extremely excited.
It had cost 100 million.
While it was not his money, Baz still felt extremely giddy to be the one to call out the price. It was a great feeling.
“Scott didn’t raise the price?” Jasper asked.
Baz laughed out loud and replied, “Raise the price? Mr. Laine, you didn’t see how sour he looked then. It’s like he swallowed a fly. 100 million crushed him completely, he doesn’t have enough money to raise the price even if he wanted to.”
“That’s good, then,” Jasper nodded and said in satisfaction.
After the excitement passed, Baz sat down and said, “Mr. Laine, I originally thought that we’d be able to acquire this business for around 10 million, but we ended up spending 100 million. I’m afraid we’d make a loss.”
Jasper shook his head and replied, “It won’t be a loss. We’ll make huge profits with this acquisition.”
Baz was stunned and he did not understand what Jasper meant.
However, before he could ask about this, a round of fierce knocks was heard at the door.
Baz immediately got up to open the door.
Before Baz could see who was at the door after opening it, someone outside kicked Baz back into the room.
Baz yelped and staggered backward, cupping a hand over his stomach. He turned to shout to Jasper, “Mr. Laine, Scott has brought some people over!”
Jasper’s gaze grew cold, and he went to help Baz into a chair.
At the same time, Scott entered the room.
He looked at Jasper sinisterly.
“Wow, Jasper, how could you lie to me like that? JW Company’s owner?!”
Jasper looked at Scott expressionlessly and asked calmly, “Who kicked him just not?”
Scott had a group of burly lackeys behind him as he shouted, “Motl1erf*cker, I’m talking you! How dare you change the subject?”
“I’m asking you, who kicked him?”
Jasper stared at Scott and shouted fiercely.
Scott was stunned. He did not expect Jasper’s voice to be louder than his.
Just then, a strong man move forward from behind Scott and snickered. “I kicked him. Why? You don’t like it? Then come and fight me!”
Scott sneered and said, “You’re so arrogant because your lackey can fight, right, Jasper? This is the best fighter in Tefa City’s Tiger Head Gang. Let’s see who the better fighter is, hmmm?”
“Julian, break his legs!” Jasper said icily.
