After ending the video call with Henry, Jasper called Wendy again to inform her that he was safe.
Wendy did not notice anything unusual, but complained that Jasper had been out for too long this time. There was also two or three days where he completely could not be contacted.
Jasper was in a coma at the time, so he obviously could not respond to Wendy.
“I ran into some kerfuffle on those days so I couldn’t contact you, but now the problem is solved.”
Naturally, Jasper would not tell Wendy the truth, otherwise it would definitely terrify her.
“Are you okay?” Wendy asked quickly. She did not bother to complain anymore.
“Of course I am. What would have happened to me?”
Jasper chuckled, “How is the company?”
“Everything is going well, especially the real estate company. Its profits have increased significantly. Everyone is discussing how much the bonus will be increased by this year.” Wendy smiled and said.
“Tell them to work hard. The company never skimps on bonuses.”
After Jasper and Wendy talked about the company’s business, he changed the topic, “I plan to go to Finland.”
Wendy remembered what Jasper had told her absentmindedly some time ago and asked, “Do you really want to buy Nokia?”
“If I can choose, I would rather buy Apple.”
Jasper sighed.
That was right. If he wanted to go to Finland this time, in addition to avoiding the strict surveillance of Sunrise Land on his return route, the more important objective was the acquisition of Nokia.
As someone who was reincarnated, Jasper knew too well that in the future, everyone would be inseparable from mobile phones, not computers.
With the advent of smartphones, the social and communication methods of all of human society would undergo tremendous change.
Seizing the mobile phone market was something Jasper had long since planned to do.
It was just that the electronic equipment manufacturing company on the surface or Greg’s Blau Mobiles was still too young.
He did not have a choice. Somerland’s industrial and technological foundation in this area was weak. Even if Jasper was not reincarnated but a god, he could not make an inexperienced technological foundation instantly surpass the West, which had accumulated decades of experience.
Now, in the second half of 2001, the era of feature phones was about to come to an end. With the release of Apple, the era of smartphones was coming. Jasper did not have time to slowly develop it anymore.
“But with my current relationship with the United States, the moment I show up in their country, I will be taken away by their investigation department, so I can forget about acquiring Apple. At this juncture, it is completely impossible.”
Not only was it impossible to acquire Apple, but Google had already told him before that because he was the actual controller of Google, Google was now being frequently troubled by the United States government. If it was not for the good relationship between Google and the big shots of companies in the internet industry within the United States helping with the mediation, Google would have been finished.
The pressure had appeared, and Jasper could no longer give the United States a knife to stab him with. “However, Nokia is one of Finland’s national enterprises and it is also the only large-scale private technology company in the country. The chances of acquiring Nokia are slim.” Wendy was worried.
“We have to do it even if the chances are slim. So far, what have we done that we were particularly confident in? It all depends on our actions.”
Jasper’s self-confidence was mainly derived from Weresoft’s future acquisition of Nokia, but at that time, Nokia was already defeated by Apple so they had no choice but to sell.
Now, Nokia was in full swing. After all, in the era of feature phones, Nokia sold the most units and had the most market share. This was a fact that no one could deny.
If Nokia’s executive operations team and shareholders were not facing lot of friction at this moment, Jasper would not have even a glimmer of hope.
“Okay, do it if you think it’s right. I’ll support you, but you must pay attention to your safety,” Wendy said.
With a chuckle, Jasper replied, “Don’ t worry, I will be back as soon as possible.”
The two chatted for a while more before they hung up the phone. After dealing with this series of things, Jasper also felt tired. He soon fell asleep, and it was night time when he woke up again.
After eating some porridge, Jasper went to visit Gary and Seamus.
Just as he expected, Gary’s condition was not bad, but Seamus was still in a coma.
“After I return to Somerland, I plan to do two things. I will start a Veterans Fund Association with its main objective being to help retired senior soldiers with employment arrangements and employment subsidies. The welfare will cover the veterans themselves and their immediate family members. If there are any serious illnesses, this fund will also provide them aid and financial assistance.”
“The second thing is that I plan to set up a security company similar to the foreign company, Blackwater Company, which mainly provides protection for the rich in Somerland. If possible, I intend to establish a group of mercenaries to go into the international market.”
Jasper was standing at the door to Seamus’s ward and was looking at the sleeping Seamus through the glass. Then, he turned his head and said to Gary, who was looking sad.
Gary froze for a moment Then, he nodded heavily and said, “I thank you on behalf of my comrades in arms.”
“Be good on your own when you are poor, and share with others when you are rich. I am still not very rich, but. at least I am not poor. I will do this as best as I can. Of course, since it involves military personnel and security, I still need to talk to Swallow Capital about these two things. This is just my intention, but I will try my best to promote it.”
Jasper said sincerely to Gary, “If I get it done, I hope you and Seamus can join and help me.”
Gary smiled and said, “Seamus will be discharged after this. It’ll depend on what he intends when the time comes. I don’t think it will be a big problem, but I will consider it again. After all, I have lived and trained in this department for more than a dozen years and have never considered leaving.”
“Okay, I will wait for your good news,” Jasper said.
Not long after, Ambassador Werner brought some good news of his own for Jasper.
The higher-ups had agreed to Jasper’s plan and would use some special resources to help Jasper leave Sunrise Land and reach Finland safely.
As for what the so-called special resource was, Jasper had no idea. Still, he was very clever not to ask. However, since the matter had been decided, they should do it as soon as possible. In the dead of night, Jasper approached Ambassador Werner to discuss the method of which he would leave the embassy.
“Some special channels will be open to you this time to help you leave Sunrise Land, but there are too many people watching from outside the embassy. In order to prevent these special channels from being exposed, we need to find a way ourselves to leave the embassy and reach the pre-agreed location.
Ambassador Werner’s words cracked Jasper up.
“Leaving the embassy is actually very simple. We should just swagger out of here.”
