When Jasper received the call from Ryder, he was busy listening to Sean‘s complaints.
“Mr. Laine, I am not crying about how poor I am. However, over the past few months of the second half of the year, most of land price in first tier cities rose by about 30%, causing the budget within our real estate company to become very tight.”
”We’re unable to buy the two pieces of land that we’re after and had planned to buy after you took out the funds back then.”
“After this period, the headquarters will have to consider our project department. We’re not willing to abandon those projects just yet. You have to remember that the real estate industry requires a lot of money to play in. We won’t be able to show you any results if we don’t have any money.”
Jasper took a sip of water and said bluntly, “Stop complaining to me. I know what you’re thinking. Also, you’re a little too late. The electronics company and the person in charge of Abbylon have already said something similar to me.”
“If we’re so well off, do you think we’ll take out the funds from your company? Soon, some of the funds will be returned to the company, but all of you are saying right now is that you’re in a difficult position and that this is hard on you. Money is tight, so who do you think I should help and not help?”
Sean gritted his teeth and said, “Lance looked cheerful all the time but I know he’s a bad kid. And Wayne too! Damn it, he’s so ugly and has so many tricks up his sleeves.”
Jasper waved his hand in exhaustion and said, “Enough. Stop your act. All of the branches are growing right now so they all need monetary support. I know this very well. I’ll allocate the funds after we procure more stable funds in the headquarters.”
When Sean heard this, he grinned.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang. Jasper lifted his head to tell Sean to go out before picking up the phone.
“This is Jasper Laine.”
“Mr. Laine, it’s me, Ryder Lawrence.”
When Jasper heard that voice, he lifted his eyebrow and smiled. He said, “Don’t tell me you’re here to cry about being poor too.”
Ryder chuckled bitterly and said, “Mr. Laine, I have more important things to report to you.”
Jasper stopped being playful and asked seriously, “What’s going on?”
Ryder immediately told Jasper what was going on in Advent Entertainment Group in detail.
After he reported this to Jasper, Ryder told Jasper what he thought about this.
“Mr. Laine, from what I can see, someone is sabotaging us. Also, I’ve never seen such an aggressive attack before.”
“I’ve collected information on some of the companies that terminated their contracts with us at the same time. They come from different industries, ranging from fashion, cosmetics, and sundries. There’s also one that’s in the aquaculture industry.”
“According to my experience, either the other party is someone who has more power than the Harbor City government, or they are gathering a group of people from different industries to target us.”
When Jasper learned about the attack on Advent Entertainment Group, he subconsciously figured that Fabian was behind it.
By pairing it with Conrad’s text from a while back, he was able to connect the term ‘Empire Meet’ with the clues he was being given now. Thus, everything immediately made sense.
However, Ryder had no idea about any of this. Therefore, when Ryder deduced a conclusion that was not too far away from the truth, Jasper could not help but feel impressed.
This experienced entertainment manager from Hallavu was more competent than he thought.
