Jasper was eating when he received Adele’s call.
After he listened to what Adele said, he heard a final sentence which he could not tell if it was said seriously or out of professional habit. “The above news is worth 5 million, please transfer it to my fixed account.”
Jasper almost sprayed the soup from his mouth onto the face of the little prince, who was sitting opposite him.
“I already have a preliminary plan with Harbor City capital. I won’t say how much I’ll earn, but there will certainly be returns, but the biggest problem now is that Harbor City is very weak. I am worried that their safety will be threatened.”
Adele was not a fool. When Jasper said that, she immediately understood what it meant.
“The local area surrounding Harbor City will be fine because Swallow Capital is keeping an eye on them. Do you mean their overseas assets?”
Jasper nodded and said, “That’s what I’m saying. You have to know that at least 70 % of the top families in Harbor City have assets overseas. After all, Harbor City is too small, so how could it support so many top capital families?
“Wall Street capital and the United States government will turn their attention to the overseas assets once this is over. When that happens, it will be very troublesome.
“If I can’t protect the industry that I have worked so hard to build for so many. years, what’s the use of making up for the money deficiency afterward?”
Jasper sighed, “You must know that any industry is the same. Once the scale of the industry reaches a certain level, it cannot be bought with money.”
For example, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes in the automobile field, mobile phone brands like Apple in the future, and also large groups such as Siemens and Rony were all unable to acquire with money. Hence, it would be useless no matter how much money you had.
However, Jasper’s worries were not shots i In the dark.
Sentel Corporation, who had just withdrawn and left, was the perfect painful example of this.
Harbor City’s capital was certainly strong, but unless they grouped together, no individual was Sentel Corporation’s opponent.
However, even if they were grouped, they would also barely win against Sentel because their power was too scattered. They were involved in all industries, so they became bigger but not stronger.
If this was the case with Sentel, then Harbor Capital would be no different.
“Do you have any plans?” Adele asked curiously.
“No,”
Jasper answered directly.
Adele found it hard to accept this kind of
directness.
“Hey, are you giving up just like this?
From what I know, nothing can stump
you.”
Jasper snapped, “Do you think I am God? Even though there is a god here, there are still some things that they can’t do, let alone me.”
“So should we just watch and do
nothing?” Adele asked anxiously.
“How much hush-hush money do you
have then? Do you want to sponsor me? Of
course, things will go smoother if the
money is enough,” Jasper joked.
Unexpectedly, Jasper’s unintentional
words sounded genuine to Adele.
“I really don’t have much money. I have donated the money I have earned over the years to children’s education, but I can still get you 60 to 70 million if you want.”
Upon hearing Adele’s serious tone, Jasper was surprised, “You don’t do much business, but all of them make you a lot of money. Have you donated all of it?”
“Yeah, what do I want so much money for? Even if I don’t make a penny and I just lie at home motionlessly, I’ll get a fixed allowance. I live in military housing,
so I have shelter and food. Do you think that I am money crazy? I’d be insane to keep so much money that I couldn’t spend. I have allowed thousands of underprivileged children to go to college anonymously over these years.”
Jasper could not help but admire this top political third-generation upon hearing her proud words.
He knew that according to the temperament of Swallow Capital, how could they allow Adele to jump and fool around in this gray area?
Moreover, as far as he knew, the surviving leading figure of the Browns was a man who was not prepared to turn a blind eye to such a thing. That was the way of the older generation.
However, they could even acquiesce to Adele doing this. At the end of the day, it all still depended on Adele’s pure and innocent heart.
“Awesome. I have a whole new outlook on you, but you have to keep an eye on the donated money. After all, most of the so
called charitable funds in Somerland are
not very professional.”
Jasper’s request made Adele giggle. She said, “Don’t worry, they won’t dare to embezzle a single cent belonging to me.”
Jasper patted his forehead. This was true. Only those people in the charity who were not right in the head would embezzle the money Adele gave them. If they did so, they would not have the life to enjoy it even after they took it.
“Seriously, do you want me to lend you m y money first?” Adele asked.
“No, I was just kidding. You should keep it
for yourself. That little amount doesn’t
help much anyway,” Jasper said
helplessly.
“Alright, I’m a bit reluctant to give it to you anyway.”
“By the way, the annual weekly special of
Time Magazine will be released tomorrow. I suggest you pay attention to i t. There is news about me,” Jasper laughed and said.
Adele was taken aback when she heard that. She replied, “You were interviewed by
Times Magazine? What did you say? Your current status is not the same as before, so you have to be very careful when you speak.”
“What else could I say? It’s just some
random nonsense. You’ll know after
reading it.
“Alright, I have some friends here, so I
won’t talk so much with you. I’m hanging
up now.”
After the phone was hung up, Adele was
still a little unhappy because she had not
fully expressed herself.
“Hmph, I don’t even bother to pay attention to the ones who want to chat with me. Don’t expect me to answer your call next time, you arrogant rascal!”
After grumbling for a while, Adele ordered someone to buy the latest annual weekly special of Times Magazine tomorrow and send it to her.
“It must be some small interview, yet he’s still so proud of himself. Forget it, since h e told me to, then I’ll show my support.”
On Jasper’s end the little prince and Lord
Alvarado looked at Jasper with amorous eyes.
“I’m very sure that’s not Wendy.” The little prince laughed.
“And I’m very sure it’s a woman.” Lord Alvarado smirked evilly.
“Also, I’m very sure it’s a young and beautiful woman.” Then, the two of them said at the same time.
Jasper said, not knowing what reaction to give them, “You can tell she’s young by her voice but how do you know that she’s beautiful?”
“Did women that are not beautiful appear around you before?” Lord Alvarado said jealously.
Jasper thought about it and seemed to find it true.
The women who were always around him were always outstanding and extremely beautiful.
“It’s Adele. We were just chatting.”
Jasper said carefreely. When Lord Alvarado and the little prince heard her name, their expressions changed.
