How could this have been accomplished by an ordinary person?
“You did well in your final choice. Mitch’s grandfather is an honorable man, and we’re indebted to him due to things that happened in the past. We must let him keep his reputation.”
Zachary was extremely appreciative of the fact that Jasper had not driven Mitch to the point of desperation but instead chose to settle the matter with 100 million dollars.
“Of course, you didn’t have to help the Law family repay what we owe the Langdon family. However, if you want to settle in Harbor City in the future, you should take note that we’re different from other places as we take our relationships very seriously. It would have been detrimental to your development if you had offended the Langdon family.”
Jasper said calmly, “I didn’t think about it that much. Respect is earned, not given.
“The Langdon family’s attitude doesn’t affect me too much. I merely think that exchanging a one-time kneel for 100 million dollars is much more worth it.”
Zachary smiled and said, “Alright, not bad. I can’t detect any of the arrogance that young people, especially successful ones like you, might have on you. Many successful people are arrogant, but you aren’t. I always feel like I’m talking to someone my age when I talk to you.”
“Thank you for your generosity in giving me such honor, Mr. Law,” Jasper said as he smiled.
Zachary said jokingly, “Still calling me Mr. Law? Such formalities.”
“Uncle Law, I’ll drink a toast to you.” Jasper smiled as he raised his glass.
“Haha, alright.” Zachary laughed heartily as he clinked his glass against Jasper’s.
Bored of watching Jasper and Zachary tooting each other’s horn, Henry interrupted them.
“Dad, didn’t you ask us to only bring Jasper back home when you’re almost finished with looking into the matter of the entertainment company?”
Zachary nodded when he heard that and said to Jasper, “It must be your luck too. I got my men to look into entertainment companies after you brought it up to me and found out that two of them are intending to sell.
“I finally found one that fits your requirements after excluding some newly-established ones and those that asked for exorbitant prices.
“This company was among the top five film distributors when Harbor City’s movies were still popular all across Terra.”
Jasper raised an eyebrow as he asked, “Are you talking about Gladness Entertainment Movies?”
Zachary was truly surprised this time.
“How did you know that? There are less than five people in Harbor City who now know that Gladness Entertainment Movies is looking to sell. You wouldn’t have guessed this from a magazine this time, would you?”
Jasper smiled and said, “Of course not. However, you just mentioned that the company used to be among the top five film distributors in Harbor City in the past, Uncle Law. That narrows my target down to five companies.”
“Asia Media Movies, Emperor Entertainment Corporation, and Nation Star Movies can be eliminated from the list.”
“Asia Media Movies has the support of Harbor City’s tycoons. They don’t need the money.”
“Emperor Entertainment Corporation is a huge corporation with a focus on entertainment. There’s no way they would consider selling their assets in the entertainment industry.”
“As for Nation Star Movies, they’re owned by the famous Smith brothers. They got rich through movies, and there’s no way they would let go of their money tree.”
“And lastly, I didn’t even consider Sullivan Group. That old man has just as much power as any of the tycoons in Harbor City. The possibility that he would sell the company is low.”
With that, Jasper spread his hands and smiled as he said, “Using the process of elimination, wouldn’t there only be Gladness Entertainment left?”
Zachary nodded as he listened to him and finally said in amazement, “You’re right. It is Gladness Entertainment. Jasper, I’m starting to feel lucky that you’re my ally in the business world instead of my enemy.”
