To be honest, Jasper himself was also
taken aback, let alone Simson and Moses.
He was a man who had lived two lives,
and yet he only had a bachelor’s degree
from a diploma mill in this life and his
last life.
He did not think ever think about
furthering his studies. He did not need a
postgraduate degree and a bachelor’s
degree was already enough.
However, he never expected that he would
be able to become an honorary guest
professor at Evergreen University.
One had to understand that this was
Evergreen University.
Together with Swallow Capital University,
they were known as the top universities in
the country.
However, Jasper’s attention quickly
shifted from this letter of appointment to
the one that was previously read out. In a practical sense, the title of a special
consultant would be the most helpful to
him.
Although he had no real power, Jasper had
never thought about going into politics
anyway, so he did not need real power at
all. In this case, official power would only
cause trouble for him.
All things considered, the most unique
benefit would be the special allowance
from the State Council.
This thing would last for a lifetime, and h
e would be able to enjoy it until he died.
The most important thing was that its
quota was extremely precious. If one did
not make any great contributions in their
respective fields and industries or had
extremely high reputations, it would be
impossible for them to obtain this.
The people who got to enjoy this were
mostly scientists conducting academic
research and development, or scholars
with prominent statuses in the academic
field.
As for the merchants… there was not a
single one who enjoyed this benefit.
In Jasper’s memory, he should be the first
businessman to receive this special
allowance.
“Mr. Laine, you are the first entrepreneur i
n our country to enjoy this special
allowance.”
Ms. Garcia seemed to see through what
Jasper was thinking and proactively
explained.
Her words also confirmed Jasper’s guess..
Jasper laughed and said, “What virtues or
abilities have I displayed to be so
appreciated by my superiors?”
“It’s not appreciation.”
Ms. Garcia shook her head and said, “This
is what you deserve. There are often
conflicts and oppositions when the higher
-ups are making a decision, but there was
no such conflict during your
appointment.”
“Everyone saw your performance, and we
hope that you can continue to maintain it.
We all need you to contribute, especially
during this special period.” Upon hearing that Jasper’s appointment
was made by the people at the highest
level, Simson and Moses did not dare to
say anything anymore. They could only
stand properly in the corner and listen. At
the same time, they raised both ears,
fearing that they would miss something.
No matter what was said next, they knew
very well that after going back tonight,
they would need to explain the whole
situation to their families without
missing any details.
They needed to change their attitudes and
decisions toward Jasper now.
Back then, they were friendly and were
doing this on goodwill, but now they had t
o cooperate more closely with Jasper,
whatever the cost.
“Of course, we also know that you have
made a lot of sacrifices to do these things.
At the very least, JW will probably never b
e able to enter the United States market in
the future, and we all understand this.”
Jasper solemnly accepted both
appointment letters with both hands.
Then, he said with a smile, “Should there
be a chance to benefit my country, I would do it with my life and death; how could I choose to embrace or avoid such a duty just because of my weal and woe?”
This sentence made Ms. Garcia and Mr. Mason look at each other. Then, they saw the deep relief in each other’s eyes.
“Okay, the Securities Regulatory Commission will fully cooperate with you next. Moreover, the plan for the social security fund to enter the market has also been approved in today’s meeting. The relevant person in charge will contact you directly and I hope that you two will cooperate wholeheartedly.”
Ms. Garcia said and reached out her hand t o Jasper.
Jasper also stretched out his hand to grip
Ms. Garcia’s hand firmly. Then, he said,
I will do my best.
“Also, if I may be so bold as to ask a favor from Ms. Garcia and Mr. Mason…” Jasper said suddenly.
Ms. Garcia said, “If you have anything we can help with, just speak up.’ Jasper laughed and said, “This is not my business. Before this, I communicated with the Alvarados from the Northwest and the Royals from Waterhood City. They are willing to do their best to execute this well. The power of private capital is huge and complex, and there are large and small entities scattered all over the country. So, I plan to organize an economic forum in Waterhoof City. If possible, can Ms. Garcia and Mr. Mason come to say a few words?”
Who were Ms. Garcia and Mr. Mason? They had been in the system for a lifetime, and they were very clever. They instantly understood what Jasper meant after he said that.
“In principle, it is possible, but because there is no specific time, we’ll have to arrange the itinerary. After you determine the time and place, tell Mr. Pratt and we will come,” Ms. Garcia replied with a grin.
“That would be great.” Jasper beamed.
Ms. Garcia, Mr. Mason, and even Tony were very busy people, especially during this special period. If Jasper did not hold
the special position as he did now, they would not be able to take time out of their busy schedule to fly over in person.
Thus, after they finished talking about
official business, the three of them bade
farewell and left.
Jasper did not urge them to stay. After he sent them to the door and watched them leave, he returned to his office.
As soon as he arrived back at his office, Simson took the initiative to speak before Jasper had the chance to even open his mouth, “Mr. Laine, about what you said t o me before, please give me a little time and I will it explain to my family immediately.”
“Us too.”
After Moses finished speaking, he put his hands together in a loyal manner and said sincerely, “As long as you need something, the Millers are willing to give i t their all.”
Jasper chuckled softly. “That would be great, Well then, let’s not delay any more, You two should go back to talk to your families first. I will wait for your good news.”
The two nodded. Finally, Simson hesitated before asking carefully, “Mr. Laine, I wonder if it’s alright for me to ask: What kind of attitude do the higher – ups have?”
Jasper glanced at Simson and replied flatly, “A few decades ago, our ancestors created our country with their flesh and blood. A few decades later, their successors would not allow foreigners to act wantonly in this land in any way.
“Our Somerland has a population of more than one billion, and not a single soul would agree to such a thing.”
These words horrified Simson and Moses, but at the same time, they were also a little ashamed.
They were ashamed of their hesitation and uncertainty.
“Okay, we understand. We will go back immediately and try to get this matter settled as soon as possible,” Moses said sincerely.
After the two left, Jasper sat in the office and let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, him wasting his breath convincing them was not as important as the statement sent from the higher-ups.
After a while, Jake approached him.
“Mr. Laine, the United States market will open in half an hour. What should we do today?”
Jake knew the domestic situation that had taken place in the morning. Hence, his entire team, including himself, was holding a grudge and could not wait to vent it in the United States.
