After handing the suitcase to the driver to put it in the trunk, Jasper opened the door and asked Celine to get in the car.
Celine bent over and when she was about t o get into the car, she saw Jasper carefully putting his hand on the roof to prevent her head from bumping into it. Hence, she I could not help but say, “Very caring. Tell me, which vixen taught you this?”
“Is this the first time you felt my
affection?”
Facing Jasper’s rhetorical question, Celine crinkled her nose, snorted, and got into the car.
On the soft capsule seat of the MPV, Celine spoke to Jasper as the latter entered from the other side, “I heard that you almost couldn’t return from Sunrise Land. I was worried for several days.”
“Really? But when I read the news, I saw that you happened to be attending several business forums and summits in those
few days and you were the keynote speaker at the conferences. You look so high-spirited when you passed judgment on everything, completely defeating all of the big shots in the business world. It didn’t seem like you were worried about m e.”
Celine chuckled and said, “It seems that you are paying attention to me as well.. You didn’t forget to look out for news of m e while you were being chased and fleeing calamity”
“I’m not in the mood to crack jokes with you. Right now, I’m overwhelmed by all the things in front of me.”
When Jasper said this, Celine’s expression became a little more serious.
“I understand a little bit about your current situation. Although you have applied for a lock-in, it is only a temporary solution. Five trading days and two rest days will give you a total of seven days. Now one and a half days have passed. Do you have a plan to solve this in the remaining days?”
Jasper raised his eyebrows and asked, “If
you were me, would you have any better solutions for when you’re faced with the unreasonable crush of the entire Wall Street capital?”
Celine shook her head and said, “No, I don’t. If I were you, I would find a more comfortable rooftop to jump off from.”
“You’re so good at comforting others.”
Jasper rubbed his temples and continued, “But I am a typical person who will not give up until I’ve reached my goal. If you ask me to just lie down and let them trample over me, I will unflinchingly reject this. I’ll at least struggle a little before my death because no one knows if I’ll get another chance.”
Celine raised the corners of her mouth and said, “I like your stupid enthusiasm. You know you’re going to die anyway but you still want to charge forward.”
Jasper asked after he laughed, “I didn’t call you here to reminisce about the past. Any updates on the matter where I commissioned Colossal Investments to absorb Nokia’s shares?”
If you wanted to buy a listed company like
Nokia, it was not enough to buy stocks from shareholders. Its circulating shares accounted for 30% of the total share capital. Therefore, if you really wanted to hold the majority portion of shares, then you had to wantonly absorb Nokia’s shares in the financial markets as well.
Jasper would do this himself, but he could not.
It was unknown how many pairs of eyes were trained on Jasper and JW Foundation. His slightest movement in the financial market would cause unpredictable and huge consequences, so Jasper could only delegate this matter to Colossal Investments anonymously.
Although he had to pay a large amount of money to Colossal Investments, the advantage was that it was safe and secretive enough to be unobtrusive.
When Celine heard this, her expression was cold. She said, “I was planning to talk to you about this. Was the news of you wanting to buy Nokia leaked?”
Jasper froze for a moment and said, “The news was indeed released a few days ago,
but it’s in the name of another company and it has nothing to do with JW Company. Moreover, the news was released for my convenience to acquire the shares in the hands of the existing shareholders…
“Why? Did something go wrong?”
“Someone is targeting you.”
Celine said, took out a laptop and opened i t on her lap. She pointed to the screen and said to Jasper, “Look, this is Nokia’s trading trend chart during this period.”
