“Grandpa, I have a proposal.”
Sylphie spoke suddenly, interrupting the chatter between the family elders. As the only third generation member of the family who was eligible to be on the scene, Sylphie had a special status.
Thus, Kit said kindly, “You can voice any opinions you have.”
“I think that if Jasper really helped us reach cooperation with the Maynards in North America this time, then we might as well help him in the process of fighting Wall Street Capital.”
“We can ally with JW Company and become their most important strategic partner. Once Jasper makes it through this catastrophe, there will be nothing to stop him from rapidly developing.”
Fred frowned and said, “Do you know how much risk we have to face to do so?”
Sylphie replied without hesitating, “As Grandpa said, there is no risk free option for doing business.”
Turning to her Grandpa Kit, Sylphie said sincerely, “Grandpa, this is an important investment.”
“Somerland’s national conditions are unique. It is difficult for foreign investors to enter the Somerland market if they do not cooperate with local companies in Somerland. This much is inevitable. Just look at the automobile industry. Even the VW Group has to compromise, let alone Sentel.”
“But this country with a population of more than one billion is a blue ocean that countless people are coveting. We must enter first to provide a sufficient driving force for the future development of Sentel.”
“Coreana is too small, and its developmental potential has long been exhausted. Moreover, even if Sentel were to pursue a breakthrough, it would be very difficult to do so in Coreana. So, if we want to continue to grow, we can only start moving outward.”
“In the past few years, we have been moving West, but didn’t we ignore our neighbors? You know, even those giants in the West are trying to enter the Somerland market, but we’re simply abandoning the one that’s near us and yearning for the one that’s far away.”
“When it comes to Jasper, once he starts to take off, he may become a representative and positive figure officially promoted by the Somerland government. At that time, who dares to predict where Jasper can go?”
Emil frowned and said, “Sylphie, it’s too early to say this.”
“It’s not early. Now might even be the most suitable time.”
Sylphie’s tone and attitude became firmer. She continued, “Somerland is a society built on social relationships. They pay attention to courtesy. Therefore, compared to gilding the lily, the most important thing we can do for our future is to provide
help as much as we can in Jasper’s hour of need.”
After Sylphie finished speaking, the family members fell silent.
They would not decide on such an important matter. The one who could decide answered slowly, “Let’s wait and see. We will wait for news from North America before we act.”
After Kit said that, the telephone on his desk rang without warning. Everyone’s attention was immediately diverted to this phone.
Kit did not hesitate as he lifted the phone. Then, he spoke calmly and forcefully under the scorching gazes of the core members of the family, “Hello, this is Kit Lang.”
It was unknown what was said on the other end of the phone. Sylphie and the others only saw Kit’s brows furrowing. At this moment, everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom of the abyss.
Then, Kit’s eyebrows relaxed and they heard him say, “Hello, Mr. Alan Maynard.”
