“Mr. Coyle is the leader of overseas Somer
descent businesspeople, and a model that
all young people in Somerland should
learn from. Mr. Coyle deserves this
respect no matter the time and place.”
Jasper’s smile was like a breeze in spring,
and it made everyone feel very
comfortable.
The words he said sounded nice, but the
most important thing was his sincere
attitude. It felt as if it came from the heart
and was said without any pretentiousness.
Indeed, with Jasper’s current status and
value, he did not need to suck up on
Robert even if the latter controlled 80%
the sugar industry in Meleya and had 10%
ruling right in the global sugar industry.
Hence, those words were definitely
sincere.
Because of this, Robert was in a good
mood.
He proactively stretched out his hand and
said, “It is so gratifying for us old men to
see young people like Mr. Laine succeed in
our nation.”
The two of them shook hands tightly in
mid-air.
And this scene was also captured by a media reporter who had already been prepared at one side.
In this photo, the protagonists were Jasper and Robert. They represented the new generation and the older generation o f Somerland business leaders respectively. Meanwhile, all the top business leaders were in the background.
Abbylon’s Wayne Marlon, Terizone’s Hudson Moore, Sena’s Jack Tanner, Hill Capital’s Ray Engels, Vast Mountain Capital’s Penn Summers, Leno Group’s Colby Willows, HW Group’s Felipe Reagan, National Electronics’ Jenny Durham, Sunny Electronics’ Milton Short
After looking at them closely, almost all o f them were the top bigwigs of the business world in this generation.
However, they could only be Jasper’s background at this moment.
Afterward, this photo was also selected as the first place among Somerland’s top ten social activities of the year. Until many years later, it was still discussed enthusiastically by some rising stars in the Somerland business community.
After exchanging some pleasantries downstairs in the hotel, Robert discovered that Jasper did not intend to lead him into. the hotel. S,o he asked, “Are there any other guests coming?”
Jasper smiled and answered, “Yes, they are special guests from Swallow Capital, and they will be here soon. Mr. Coyle, do you want to go in and take a break first?”
Robert’s eyes lit up.
He knew that the economic forum this time would not be that simple and Swallow Capital had to be supporting from the back.
However, he did not know the extent of Swallow Capital’s support for Jasper in this economic forum.
Now that Swallow Capital was sending someone to participate as special guests, Robert immediately understood the deep
meaning behind this.
After looking at the bigwigs in the domestic business circle who were
following Jasper, Robert understood.
This was to build momentum.
Swallow Capital created momentum for Jasper, and at the same time, Jasper was also creating momentum for himself.
So, naturally, Robert would do him this
favor, which came at little cost.
“No need. Even though I am old, I am still
pretty healthy. I will wait here with you.”
Robert smiled.
Jasper nodded and said warmly, “If you feel tired, I will immediately arrange for someone to send you upstairs to rest.” Robert smiled and waved his hand, motioning Jasper to not bother about him.
Then, Robert went to chat with the background characters behind them who were eager to come up and greet him.
“Mr. Laine, hello. My name is Wilbur
Coyle…”
As soon as Robert left, Wilbur
immediately came up to greet Jasper.
Back when Robert was there, he would not
have had the chance to speak. Now that
Robert was gone, it was obvious that he
was deliberately giving time and space to
let Wilbur get to know Jasper. Naturally, h
e understood his uncle’s good intentions.
Jasper interrupted him directly and said
with a smile, “I know, you are the boss of
Oceanic Kelly and Arowana Cooking Oil is
your brand. To be honest, my family has
always used your brand’s cooking oil.”
Wilbur’s eyes lit up and he said hurriedly,
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr.
Laine.”
Jasper looked at Wilbur, who was 12 years
older than him, and smiled. “I have heard
of Mr. Wilbur’s deeds, and I heard that
you intend to develop in the domestic real
estate industry.”
Wilbur nodded and said, “The rapid
development of the domestic economy is a
n ironclad fact. Regardless of the country,
rapid economic development cannot be
separated from the support of the real estate industry. Therefore, I am very optimistic about the future of the domestic real estate industry and have always wanted to get involved.”
Jasper nodded and said, “JW Real Estates has some experience in the domestic real estate industry. If we have the opportunity, we can exchange more information. JW Real Estates is mainly engaged in the residential real estate industry. I wonder, which one Mr. Wilbur i s focusing on right now?”
One could tell whether someone was an
expert the moment they opened their
mouths.
Most people only knew the concept of the real estate industry, but they did not know that it was very broad and there were many sub-categories to it.
For example, the residential category was similar to the Verde Town, Poli Real Estates, Somer Vanke, Jade Laurel Garden, and so on, and they were mainly for residential commercial housing projects.
On the other hand, there was also commercial real estate. Millenia Group,
owned by Cody Whorton who gained popularity in later generations, was the leader in this category. Moreover, Stylish Property, Delight Property, and Nature City were doing commercial real estate with large shopping malls as the core.
Wilbur was intrigued. If Jasper was just being polite when he said that they could exchange information, his intentions were made clear now.
It was not easy to start in the real estate. industry without the support of others.. Getting the funds was relatively easy, but the key factors were connections, government agreement, and resources.
“I am looking at commercial real estate. I want to build a few large shopping malls i n first-tier cities in Somerland.”
Wilbur was a little excited. If he could get Jasper’s support, then his long-prepared plan could be implemented.
Jasper nodded and smiled, “Okay, this would be very valuable for investment in the future. We shall talk about this if we have the opportunity…”
Jasper’s words were interrupted by a
convoy.
Unsurprisingly, this was the government representative from Swallow Capital.
The Secretary-General, Tony, got off first, then Mr. Mason and Ms. Garcia.
What surprised Jasper the most was Mr. Mason and Ms. Garcia seemed to be waiting for someone after they got out of the car.
Obviously, there was someone very important still inside the car.
Just as Jasper stepped forward, the last
person in the car got out.
When he looked at the smiling and energetic middle-aged man in front of him, Jasper finally knew what infinite royal graciousness meant.
Even if he was insensitive to politics in his previous life, he would still recognize this man in front of him.
The current second-in-command in finance, the future second-in-command of the national economic and financial work in the State Council, and the fifth ranked top bigwig, Sim McNeal.
Sim’s appearance not only made Jasper feel overwhelmed by favor from his superior, but it also shocked the background characters as well as Robert, who were standing behind him.
They never expected Swallow Capital to send such a bigwig to an economic forum organized by a non-governmental organization.
