Jasper’s confidence came from none other than the advantage of having the memory of his reincarnation.
Harbor City was a very special area. It had been under the colonization of the United Kingdom for a long time. Although it had been four years since the Handover, its socio-economic system had not changed much under the two systems policy.
Harbor City had always taken the capital development route. Its telecommunications industry allowed private capital to enter.
At present, there were three giants in Harbor City’s telecommunications industry. Two of them had backgrounds from the United Kingdom capitalists and the other belonged to Half-the-Harbor Langdon.
Now that it had returned to the sovereignty of the mainland, although the telecommunications industry had not cleared away all private capital, through
the imperceptible innuence, new private capital was barred from entering henceforth.
However, in a bill to amend the regulations that would appear in seven months time, it was emphasized that Harbor City’s telecommunications industry allowed and encouraged the entry of fresh private capital.
In later generations, this was regarded as an attempt by the mainland to reform the company system by listing monopolistic companies in state-owned telecommunications industries such as Somerland Telecom and Nobile.
Still, Jasper did not want to care meaning behind this move by the mainland and Harbor City officials.
The only thing he cared about was getting the support of the Finland National Telecommunications Group without giving up anything.
“Why should I believe you?” Simon asked, staring at Jasper with wide eyes.
Jasper smiled and said, “Mr. Simon, when
someone is in our positions do we need to
use lies to deceive each other? How long can such lies be hidden?”
Simon said coldly, “If there is no
guarantee, I can’t cooperate with you.”
“How can I give you a guarantee on this highest level of policy? Do you think I am the head of our country?”
Jasper shook his head and replied, “But I can sign a VAM with you. As long as Finland National Telecommunications Group is willing to sell me the 11% Nokia shares you hold, I promise to help you enter the Harbor City telecommunications industry within 1 year.
“If I can’t do this within one year, then Finland National Telecommunications Group will get all the property of JW Capital in Finland, including all its shares of Nokia.”
Upon hearing what Jasper said, even Brayson was looking at Jasper like he was looking at an alien, let alone Simon.
Either Jasper was a lunatic for daring to agree to this VAM, or Jasper was 100% sure that this could be done.
However, how could Jasper, who was no longer worth ordinary figures, be a lunatic if he was able to sit here?
Hence, it could only be the latter.
Simon did not say a word, but he was obviously moved by Jasper’s condition.
Jasper saw this and smiled. Then, he said t o Simon, “Mr. Simon, there is nothing in this world that is more exciting than success.
“According to the laws of Finland, you are about to retire in another year. Someone has been eying your position, right? I heard that your nephew also works in the National Telecommunications Group, correct?
“If you can promote the business of the Finland National Telecommunications Group to Harbor City before you retire, or even to the mainland, then your opinion regarding the next chairman or the next president will be extremely important when you retire.
“And your name will inevitably be
remembered by everyone forever as
Finland National rerecommunications
Group grows.”
First came profit, then his name.
After these statements, Simon gritted his teeth severely.
“10 months, I can only give you 10 months.”
“Deal.”
Jasper stood up, stretched out his hand to Simon, and smiled. “I think this will be a very pleasant cooperation.”
Simon took Jasper’s hand and sighed, You are exceptional. In truth, before the meeting, I had already made a decision. N o matter what conditions you offered, I would not agree with it, but you still gave me conditions that I could not refuse.”
“Some people need money, so I will give them money. Meanwhile, some people need their name to be known, so I will give that to them. One can be greedy so long as they’re human, while I am responsible for satisfying all their greed. O f course, the premise is that this person can give me what I want. In such a
situation, I call this a deal, a fair deal.”
Upon hearing what Jasper said, Simon was taken aback for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, “Okay, this is the essence of trading. Very well said.”
After leaving the Finland National Telecommunications Group, Greg and Brayson got in the car.
“With the 9.2% shares from the Workers’ Union, 11% shares of the National Telecommunications Group that have just been acquired, and the 2. 9% minority shareholder shares that were acquired sporadically, you now own 23.1% of Nokia’s shares. Now, you’re the largest individual shareholder in Nokia and can already join the board of directors.”
Brayson told Jasper excitedly.
“This is far from enough.”
Jasper continued, “My purpose is to acquire all of Nokia, not to sit at the board meeting to be a voting device by raising m y hand.”
Brayson frowned and said, “In this case, you can only start from the secondary
markets such as stocks and securities.”
“I’m already taking the relevant steps.” Jasper smiled.
After a while, Brayson noticed that the car was driving toward Nokia’s. He asked in surprise, “Aren’t we taking you back to the hotel?”
“I need to pick someone up from the
airport.” Jasper laughed.
Brayson nodded. Since Jasper did not say who it was, then obviously this matter had nothing to do with him. After the car arrived at the place, he bade farewell to Jasper and got out of the car.
Then, Jasper asked the driver to drive directly to the airport.
An hour later, at the entrance of the airport.
Jasper leaned against the car as he watched Celine, who came out of the car with a small suitcase. She attracted the attention of countless Nordic men and had a gentle smile on her face.
Celine, who was wearing a red trench
seat looked slonder and well.
coat, looked sien
proportioned. She walked straight to Jasper, raised her hand, and only pulled down the edge of her sunglasses to look at Jasper with her bright eyes.
With the other hand, she handed the lever of her suitcase to Jasper and said, “Yo, Mr. Laine, you look energetic.”
While inhaling the exquisite fragrance of the woman in front of him, Jasper grabbed the suitcase and replied, “Of course, I am all alone in a foreign country. If I don’t take good care of myself, won’t those people who are longing for me to go to the deepest level of hell be thrilled ?”
With a grin, Celine said, “I thought you would be very sluggish now, but I feel relieved to see that you are still so glib tongued. Let’s go, take me to the hotel. I’m exhausted after more than ten hours o f flying.”
