“You know I realized a very important truth, which is what the most important thing is to a person,” Jasper said to Sylphie as he held his cutlery.
Sylphie curiously asked, “And that’s staying alive?”
Jasper shook his head and viciously took some bacon and pasta before he said, “It’s having a full stomach!”
“It makes sense.”
The person who said this was Sylphie’s father, Emil.
“Mr. Emil is here.”
Jasper greeted him. Then, he pointed to himself and said with a smile, “I’m not going to be courteous with you anymore. It’s really impossible to be mindful of manners when I’m like this.”
With a wave of his hand, Emil said, “You don’t have to be. Just be yourself. You can eat first.”
After two plates of pasta, Jasper finally felt relatively satiated. Then, he said, “This time, the contribution of Sentel Corporation in our cooperation is obvious to all. I will remember this favor and I will return it in the future.”
Emil laughed, his eyes bright.
Although Sentel had a cooperative relationship with Jasper, there were actually many things that did need to be done so well. The reason for this was that they were optimistic about Jasper which was why they invested in him.
Aside from the actual profitability of the investment, at least they were recognized by Jasper. This was a good start.
“Since we are partners, this is what we should do.”
Emil’s polite remark made Jasper smile, but he did not take it to heart. Jasper would be a fool to think that the Langs from Sentel were stupid just because of this.
If they could survive as a plutocratic family, it meant that none of the family members were easy to deal with. Speaking of which, this partnership was nothing more than an exchange of interest. However, now that they were in the honeymoon period, there was no need to say much.
“This time, I’m here to bring you a piece of news. Let’s check it out.”
Emil waved his hand after speaking and ordered someone to bring him a computer.
Jasper was eating while looking at the computer screen.
He could see that the higher-ups were holding a press conference.
“Now, we’re announcing that Jasper Laine, a merchant from Solermand, and his company JW Capital, will be included in the sanctions list. No Sunrise Land domestic companies will be allowed to cooperate with them while all of JW Capital’s employees, including Jasper, will be barred entry to Sunrise Land.”
“This is normal behavior to protect the economy and trade of Sunrise Land, and there is no intention of retaliation. This is also in line with international practice…”
Jasper almost burst into laughter when he heard such a sentence.
“Sanction me? Those dwarves from Sunrise Land are so petty.”
Jasper put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth without any worry. He continued, “Just let them sanction me. Do they expect me to go to Sunrise Land for the second time in my life? It’s impossible. I wouldn’t go even if they rolled out the red carpet for me.”
When Emil heard this, he replied cautiously, “If the sanctions are imposed by Sunrise Land, it may affect the globalization of JW Capital. After all, Sunrise Land is currently the second largest economy in the world. The most important thing is that the sanctions of Sunrise Land will affect the attitude of many other countries that share good relations with them.”
“A country’s sanctions are not terrible. If the United States did the same, it would have cut down opportunities for JW Capital to globalize by half. You have to treat this matter carefully.”
Emil’s words made Jasper smile. He said, “Mr. Emil, I understand your worries, but after all, strength speaks in this world. If I say that doing business together can bring profit, who would refuse?”
“When that time comes, no one except the people from Sunrise Land will care about this sanction. As for the attitude of the United States, they will not impose unilateral sanctions on a minor character like me. By the way, please buy a plane ticket to Finland for me.”
