After he was done talking, Henry looked at his father who was laughing out loud. He had a delighted look on his face, and even Anna was wearing a faint smile on her face.
At that moment, he said with a very unpleasant feeling, “Why does it feel like both of you know what’s going on and I’m the only fool here?”
“Dad, Jasper said he has won but Bob did not lose. He even said that Bob has lots of ill thoughts. What the hell does that mean?” Henry asked.
Zachary smiled, and then his eyes were brewing with admiration. Hearing his son’s question, he said, “Actually what Jasper wanted to witness was Bob failing to accept his defeat and insisting to have a rumble in this business war.”
Henry was puzzled.
Zachary glared at Henry, apoplectic with rage. He said, “Bob has lots of enemies in Harbor City. If the business war broke out, Jasper would have lots of alliances.
“At that point, Jasper would need not personally join the battle. He just has to sell off those shares and he would easily be able to sell them at a very high price.”
“Then why doesn’t he just sell them off to other people immediately?” Henry was getting more curious.
“That’s where Jasper’s wisdom lies.”
Zachary’s tone of admiration was getting intense. “He has one more important motive for coming here to Harbor City.”
“You’re talking about the issue of taking over and investing in an entertainment company?”
Henry suddenly thought of that matter.
It was because of that the Law family had used up lots of resources to help Jasper gain some news.
“Mmm… If Jasper were to immediately sell those shares to Bob’s enemies right now, how will the other people from the business world of Harbor City view him? He will be the second Bob Lancaster.
“When he wants to take over an entertainment company, it won’t be an easy feat.
“If Bob wasn’t satisfied with the way things turned out earlier and wanted to go all out in a business battle, no one would be able to comment as throughout the entire incident, Jasper was just being reasonable.”
Zachary said, then looked at Henry and added, “Do you know why we, the Law family, receive honorable greetings wherever we go within the Mainland?”
“We’re rich, so they want us to invest in them,” said Henry casually.
“Foolish.”
Zachary scolded and said, “It’s because your grandpa has built up his reputation throughout his life!
“The superior position the Law family has in Mainland is so because everyone knows your grandpa is a businessman who sincerely loves his country, and everybody respects him for that.”
Zachary stood up and tapped on Henry’s shoulder, saying, “When a businessperson reaches a certain level, they must consider the issue of reputation.
Since ancient times, fame and fortune are not divided with one’s name still being the most important.
“Jasper is so young, yet his skill of being able to read others’ intentions is splendid. This is no longer considered as perfect but scary,” said Zachary with a sigh.
Anna said thoughtfully, “In the end, he beat up Zayden and forced Zane to apologize. He must be testing Bob as well.”
Zachary nodded and said, “Bob is a cunning man but not easy to go against.
“However, being able to make Bob suffer from such a big loss, it’s still a good thing,” said Zachary with a smile.
Henry’s eyes were sparkling, and no one knew what was in his mind.
“So how is it? Do you finally know just how big a gap there is between you two?” Anna said with a chuckle.
Henry nodded and said from the bottom of his heart, “There’s indeed a huge difference”
For once, Zachary gladly gave a word of encouragement. “Don’t compare yourself with him. In this world, there are not many people of Jasper’s age who are able to be on par with him.
His opponent was someone from the older generation. I’ll be satisfied if you can learn 70% of his ability.”
“In this world, are there not many who can be compared with his ability to put on an act?” Henry wore a look of admiration and said it sincerely.
Zachary was dumbfounded, and the smile on his face froze up.
Zachary roared, “You spoilt brat, get lost right now!”
Henry, who was being chased out of the study, was not at all bothered. Anyway, he was used to it, and he happily ran downstairs.
“Where are you going?” asked Anna.
“Off to bathe and call it an early night. He said he’ll bring me over to the trading center tomorrow to put on an act… Oh, no, it’s to learn how the capital market operates.”
Standing upstairs, Anna looked at Henry’s outline, astonished. ‘How many years has it been…’
After the siblings went past the age of 15 years old, she had never seen Henry turning in for the day before 11 at night while claiming that he wanted to sleep early.
At that moment, Anna had to admit that her grandfather’s idea of letting Henry hang around Jasper might just be an excellent move that could cause a miracle to happen!
Anna returned to her bedroom and subconsciously dialed Jasper’s number.
