The annual special of Times Magazine
was released.
Originally, this was not something
remarkable. It was just a magazine no
matter how many people read it as it was
not as important as the money and stocks
in their pockets. However, the key to this
issue was the cover photo. It featured
someone from Somerland who countless
people from the United States wanted to
skin alive.
Jasper Laine!
Since the founding of Times Magazine,
there were only a handful of Somerland
people who had been on the cover of the
annual special. The people from
Somerland who were featured before
Jasper could be counted by one hand.
Now, in this special period, Jasper, a man
and businessman from Somerland who
fundamentally detonated the subprime
mortgage crisis, was appearing on the
cover of Times Magazine. This felt like a
resounding slap to the faces of the people
of the United States.
“This businessman from Somerland, who
is less than 30 years old, used his actions t
o tell the world that nothing is
impossible.”
This short sentence was the caption on
the cover.
On the cover photo, Jasper was in a formal
suit and was sitting idly on the sofa,
looking up at the sky outside the window.
This profile was selected for the Best
Photography Award in 2001 and was
nominated as one of the 100 most
influential celebrities in the world in 2001.
Times Magazine transcribed the last
interview with Jasper and fit it in three
pages. They did not change any of the
contents and they tried to show Jasper’s
original attitude to everyone in the world a
s authentically as possible.
“He said that he was a businessman who
didn’t care about politics, but his
commercial means caused the United
States to be in terrible shape.
“He said he doesn’t care about his wealth,
but his every move has profoundly
affected all aspects of Somerland society. Tens of thousands of families rely on the jobs he provides to make a living.
“He said he was not a nationalist, but he kept his best industry in Somerland and gave the United States a financial war.
“He is only 27 years old. When most of his peers were still looking for work to adapt t o society, he set off financial turmoil that i s about to take over the world.
“Real estate, internet, and finance are known as the most promising and explosive industries in the 21st century. When everyone remains ignorant of the unknown, he has completed the industry layout in the East.
“In five years, this man has grown from nothing to being at the top of the wealth pyramid. This is him, the cover character of this issue of Times Magazine, a controversial man, Jasper Laine.”
This admonition was known as the most profound textual sketch of Jasper in the Western world.
From the upper class to the lower class,
from the grassroots to the rich, from the bigwigs to the common people, everyone was focusing on this photo and cover.
There was no doubt that this time, the Times Magazine annual special had become a hit.
The civilians wanted to know how Jasper did it.
The rich also wanted to know how Jasper did it.
However, each class was different, so
their perspectives and goals were also
completely different.
The former wanted to imitate Jasper and wanted to be the second Jasper.
The latter gritted their teeth and dreamed about killing Jasper.
As the admonition on the cover stated, a controversial figure had emerged in the 21st century. He had become the first businessman to truly spread his name around the world since Somerland’s reform and opening up.
