“Mr. Laine, this is an interview for the
cover of Time Magazine. Should we get
your makeup done first?” Swift said
hurriedly when she saw that Jasper was
about to jump straight into the topic.
Shaking his hand, Jasper said, “No, I
believe in your photography and editing
skills. I will use my most natural and
original state to carry out your interview.
The most important thing is that you
should know I am very busy now, so I
can’t waste too much time on makeup.”
Swift was obviously not an old-fashioned
person. She figured that this might yield
unexpected results, so she readily agreed.
It was just that she was originally looking
forward to doing the makeup of such a
young and rich man like Jasper who was
going to appear on the cover of Time
Magazine as the youngest businessman in
history, but now her hope was dashed,
which disappointed her.
“I will help you tidy up your clothes.”
Wendy said softly to Jasper. As she said
that, she walked over and helped Jasper
tidy up his collar considerately. She only
stopped when the folds of his shirt were
neatly aligned.
Jasper looked at Wendy, who was bowing
her head in front of him to help smooth
his clothes. Then, Jasper said softly, “1
appreciate this.”
Although this kind of conversation was
normal, Wendy was thin-skinned after
all. She gave Jasper a slightly annoyed
look, took two steps back, examined him
from head to toe, and then finally nodded i
n satisfaction when she saw that there
was nothing else out of place.
“Alright, our interview is officially
beginning.’
After teaching Jasper an extremely
photogenic sitting position and angle,
Swift sat on the opposite side of Jasper
and signaled the videographer and sound
engineer to start working.
Come to think of it, this was the first time
Jasper had accepted a serious interview,
and it was with such influential media
despite this being his first time. Therefore, Jasper was super nervous.
It was clear that Swift was very experienced. She could see at a glance that Jasper was feeling uneasy, so at the beginning, she started with a few lighter topics to slowly ease him into it. It did not take long for Jasper to finally relax.
At this moment, the interview had also
dived into the topic.
“Mr. Laine, because JW has not yet been listed, we cannot know your real wealth through traditional channels. Have you calculated it? How much money do you have?”
Jasper laughed and said, “I haven’t really calculated it, but I can confirm that I don’t worry about food and clothing. In fact, when wealth reaches a certain level, it will become a social responsibility.
“For example, at present, JW currently employs about 40,000 to 50,000 employees, and behind them are 40,000 t o 50,000 families. Besides this, the stable operation of the enterprise and stable tax payment is itself a social responsibility.”
Swift was obviously dissatisfied with Jasper’s cunning evasion. She asked, ” Although there is no specific number, in terms of the current scale of the industry, JW is undoubtedly the largest private enterprise in Somerland, while you, Mr. Laine, are also the number one richest man in Somerland. Do you have anything t o say about this?”
“Richest man? I don’t dare to accept this
title.”
Jasper waved his hand and said, ” Actually, that title is just a gimmick for the nosey masses to talk about. Why would I want that title?
“However, I acknowledge the scale of the industry. It’s just that JW’s industry is still relatively fragmented and lacks an efficient and modern central system to integrate its management. I have already put this as the highest priority task on JW’s meeting agenda so there will be soon be changes implemented.
“Because JW’s goal is to be a modern multinational company, not only do we just want to earn money from the people in
Somerland, we are actually more willing to earn pounds and US Dollars.”
Swift smiled and suddenly asked an extremely sharp and sensitive question.
