Hence, Jasper knew that if he went over to talk rashly, he would be destroyed.
“You are a major customer who has just spent 100 million. Naturally, I will not just give you a simple piece of information.”
“If the news just now is worth 30 million, it is somewhat worth the money, but I will give you another piece of news that is worth 70 million.”
Far away in Swallow Capital, Adele was sitting on a swing in the courtyard of the villa. She was gracefully swinging in place with her mobile phone in her hand. She displayed both mature femininity and innocent girlishness at the same time. Not only did she make others feel dazed, but these traits also blended into a kind of thrilling beauty.
It was a pity that no one could see it except for the morning light that was about to rise from the horizon.
“After the failed M&A case, Sentel hated certain capital groups on Wall Street and realized that without the protection of political power in the United States, they would not be able to compete with United States merchants in many businesses around the world. Therefore, they have been fighting for the support of the Somerland family in North America. The Maynards have very high status in North America, and they are inextricably linked with many members of Congress.”
“It can be said that the Maynards in North America are the most powerful non United States native power in United States politics. They can even influence the formulation of United States national policies and even affect elections.”
Adele’s tone was relaxed and teasing. She chuckled softly, “It just so happens that the Maynards’ daughter is very close to you, am I right?”
“Celine?”
Jasper raised his eyebrows as he answered.
He had always felt that the friendship between himself and Celine was based on mutual exploitation, but at the same time, they gave each other enough space so that their friendship lasted.
They were all adults, and since they were in this position, it would be childish and naive to engage in any melodramatic scenes like young boys and girls. The other party’s value was the core of all adult interactions. During this process, Jasper knew that Celine was a member of the Maynards in North America and possessed a certain amount of power.
However, he never truly looked into this.
On one hand, he did not like to deal with political forces. On the other hand, he was also reluctant to change the friendship between the two of them.
Adele did not respond to this question, and instead spoke directly, “Well, all the information has been given to you. It’s your business regarding what you want to do with it from this point forward. The transaction between us has been completed.
“Of course, if you decide to contact Sentel, I can provide you with a channel to communicate directly with the head of Sentel Corporation in the shortest possible time.”
Jasper smiled and said, “Is that also part of the transaction?”
“No.” Adele grinned and said, “This is a gift from me.”
“Then I shall thank you in advance, and I will contact you the moment I need it,” Jasper said.
“That’s good, but you’d better hurry up. Next Monday, the market will open.”
Adele finished speaking and hung up.
At this time, Jasper also finished his few hotdogs and soy latte. He was about to get up, but to his embarrassment, he had completely forgotten to ask Jake to come and pay the bill.
“Kid, have you spent all of your spare change after that 100-million-dollar business?” The shop owner’s wife started making fun of Jasper.
Her statement was not malicious, and the shop owner’s wife was not taunting him. It was just a simple joke. When Jasper was about to say something, a young man hurriedly ran out from inside of the shop.
“Morn, I’ll work overtime this afternoon, so I won’t come home for lunch.”
