“Why else would you offer me 500 million to do this?” Adele said spitefully.
“Wait for my update. I have to confirm it before I can give you an answer.”
After she said that, Adele immediately hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Jasper entered Somerland’s airspace and his phone rang.
“Where are the goods now?” Adele asked directly.
“On the high seas beyond the territory of Sunrise Land,” Jasper replied.
“You were ready for this, huh?” Adele seemed to have discovered some big secret and said profoundly.
“It’s such a big matter, so naturally, it couldn’t be decided with a snap.”
Jasper smiled and said, “How is it? Can you do it?”
“At dawn tomorrow, Sunrise Central Bank will inspect the goods with someone from the insurance company. You have to arrange for someone to receive it.”
“Once the inspection is completed, the gold needs to be sealed in Sunrise Central Bank. Of course, you will still hold all ownership unless you can’t repay the loan after three months. Also, the interest rate will increase by 40%.”
Jasper frowned and asked, “40%?”
“Too much? Then I can’t help it. Our schedule is very tight so the other party used this point to demand a huge price.”
“Hehe, 3 months of interest at 40%. There’s an increase of at least tens of millions. Fine, since they dared to ask, I will dare to give it to them.”
“Tell them I said yes. I will send you the address later and allow them to send someone to inspect the goods tomorrow, but I need someone from my side to tag along too.”
Adele felt that Jasper’s request was reasonable. “No problem, after all, you are the owner of the goods, but you have to hurry up. Everything on your side must be in place before the work day begins at 8 am. tomorrow.”
“No problem.”
After hanging up the phone, Jasper looked at Julian and said, “Julian, I have one thing I need you to do. After the plane arrives at Nauritus City Airport, you can take this plane to Sunrise Land this very night and wait at the Eastern Capital dock You are responsible for getting in touch with the people from Sunrise Central Bank and the insurance companies on my behalf.”
Julian hesitated. “I can go, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it well.”
“You’ll be fine.”
Jasper smiled and said, “The gold is genuine and at a fair price. There will be no problems. You don’t have to worry about anything. You just need to keep an eye on this batch of gold until you see them seal the gold in the state treasury of Sunrise Central Bank, then you can come back.”
Julian nodded and said, “Okay, I will do it well.”
“Sorry for the trouble.” Jasper patted Julian on the shoulder and said.
“But Jasper, when did you buy so much gold?” Julian asked curiously.
“It started when I entered Dow Jones before. To be precise, on the first day of JW Foundation’s establishment. I bought gold futures and invested into gold at the same time.
“I bought gold from all over the world whenever it was available. Most of it was collected from the black market. The price of this batch of gold is 20% higher than the market price. However, if the plan is successful, everything will be worth it,” Jasper said softly.
“Jasper, have you been thinking about this day since way back then?” Julian was shocked.
“No, at that time, I was thinking that if I were ever defeated, this batch of gold that no one knew about would be my turnover capital. But now, there are places where it is needed more, so I am willing to offer my escape route as collateral and place it on the gaming table as a bargaining chip.”
As he was saying that, Jasper joked, “So now, you are in control of my wealth and life.”
Jasper was just joking, but Julian took it seriously. He answered solemnly, “Don‘ t worry, Jasper, as long as I am around, the gold will be in safe hands.”
