“You don’t have to talk to me like that. It
won’t work on me.”
Kayden said with a cold expression, “Who
in this world does not exist for profit? You
can get a group of people to go against
Wall Street for your benefit, and I can also
make other choices for my benefit. I can’t
be the bad guy just because I don’t want to
side with you. We’re all grown-ups so
there’s no need to be childish, right?”
“Benefits? Childish?”
Jasper chuckled. His unbothered eyes
suddenly turned sharp, and the smile on
his face also disappeared bit by bit.
“Kayden, if you said this while sitting in
front of me, believe it or not, I would have
punched you in the face.”
Kayden said coldly, “Jasper, I didn’t come
to quarrel with you today.”
“No? Then we have nothing to say. You
can enjoy your beautiful scenery abroad
while I enjoy the time of my life in
Somerland. Since we don’t have anything i
n common, let’s not waste each other’s time.”
After Jasper finished speaking, he hung u
p the video decisively.
Meanwhile, in the United States, Kayden
was dumbfounded.
Although he had foreseen that this
conversation would not be
straightforward easy, Kayden did not
expect Jasper to be so cruel.
This was very different from the
impression of Jasper that he had in his
mind.
Was it possible that when he had risen to
a higher position, he finally shed his
polite appearance and started to reveal his
fangs?
When he thought of this, Kayden smashed
the glass in his hand.
The secretary outside the door heard the
commotion and entered the room.
hurriedly to clean up.
However, the enchanting body of the
foreign lady that had previously won
Kayden’s heart only made him more upset
at this moment.
“Get out!”
After Kayden’s roar, the office fall back
into silence.
After calming himself, Kayden took a deep
breath and requested another video call
aggrievedly and helplessly.
It did not matter if Jasper had shown his
true self or whether he was purposely
toying with Kayden. After all, Kayden was
more inferior now so he could only choose
to suffer in silence.
Jasper was thrilled when he saw the video.
call request again.
It seemed that the father and son duo was
truly driven to desperation.
He did not even hesitate before he rejected
the call.
When Kayden saw that he was being
rejected, he was so mad he started looking
for more glasses to smash.
Kayden felt utterly humiliated and
insulted right now. He gritted his teeth
and started cursing, but in the end, he still
sent another request while brimming
with anger.
Jasper finally answered the call on the
third try.
“Don’t hang up!”
Kayden, who was scared that Jasper would
hang up again, spoke the moment he was
connected, but after he finished speaking,
he realized that Jasper did not speak first
this time. Instead, he just looked at
Kayden with a smile.
Kayden felt his cheeks turning hot, but he
did not know whether it was from anger o
r embarrassment. Kayden took a deep
breath and said, “Jasper, let’s put aside
our grievances, I just want to negotiate a
deal with you. You can take it if you think
it’s good, and you can just forget it if you
don’t. It’s that simple, okay?”
“Let’s hear it,” Jasper said lightly.
Kayden clenched his fists silently when he
saw that Jasper was looking at him with a
n unbothered expression, clearly not
taking him seriously.
He swore in his heart that once he got
through this difficulty and gained momentum in the future, he would make Jasper pay for the humiliation he suffered today a hundred-fold.
Although he was seething inside, Kayden did not dilly-dally.
“Fongroup and all the properties in mainland under me and my father’s name will be packaged and transferred to you, while all you have to do is release Layman’s position in the subprime market and let Layman get through this.
“The contents of this deal is that simple.”
After hearing Kayden’s words, Jasper
narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, Layman could not hold on
anymore.
Half-the-Harbor Langdon and his son I could not hold on either.
The J. Langdons’ industry in the mainland was a piece of fat meat and it had attracted many drooling hungry wolves.
Among other things, the J. Langdon father and son had been holding the most central plot in Paradise City for 20 years. When they finally withdrew from the
mainland, they resold it and made a profit of more than 50 times.
In the past, this land was sold to them by the local government in order to attract them to invest while the duo had also promised to build a large-scale business district.
However, after they got the land, they did not do proceed with any construction or development at all. Later, when Paradise City started developing, such a wasteland was left untouched in the prosperous central area, which made countless people wring their hands and sigh.
In the end, the father and son decided to divest and leave. Hence, they took a profit of 50 times their investment and turned around to invest abroad.
Where did these profits come from?
They were the hard-won wealth of the people of Somerland.
This certainly was the disgusting nature o f that old fox, Half-the-Harbor Langdon, but one had to admit that this old fox had a unique vision. He bet 20 years ahead of time and was right.
Moreover, this was just one of their
countless investments in the mainland.
If you considered from a purely
commercial point of view, these industries were all hens that would lay golden eggs in the future.
Kayden inwardly praised his father when he saw that Jasper was moved.
Sure enough, his father was right about Jasper. He was a businessman through and through. As long as there was interest, there was nothing that could not be exchanged.
‘Jasper, no matter how good you are, my father can still see through you.’
Kayden felt proud.
Jasper was silent for four to five minutes.
Kayden did not rush him. Instead, he waited quietly for Jasper to make a decision and give him a reply.
Four to five minutes later, Jasper spoke.
“How long can Layman last?”
This question was beyond Kayden’s
expectations.
However, he replied, “This has nothing to
do with our transaction, but if you insist o
n knowing, I can tell you that the
foundations of Fongroup is deeper than
what outsiders think.”
“So, you’re saying that Layman’s crisis
and the risk of bankruptcy of small and
medium-sized banks are not enough to
affect Fongroup?” Jasper asked again.
Kayden’s face sank and he asked, “Jasper,
what do you want to say?”
“Since Fongroup won’t be affected, then
why did you come to me?”
Jasper chuckled and continued, “I’m
curious as to how deep the foundations of
Fongroup run. I have no other
characteristics, but once my curiosity is
piqued, I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t
get an answer.
“It just so happens that I’m having
insomnia during this period. So, in order t
o let me sleep peacefully, I’ve decided to
wait it out and see. I want to see how thick Fongroup’s flesh and blood are and why Layman can’t suck it dry.
“Mr. Langdon, what you said is right. You can make different choices for your own benefit, but at the same time, you have to understand that many things are already destined the moment you make your choice.
“I’m in the country and you’re abroad. I will be here to watch you rise and prosper. Then, finally, I will watch everything you own collapse, while you end up with nothing.”
After he said that, the video call ended.
