What worried Zed the most now was that
Wendy’s accident might cause the
originally negotiated Ocean City Plan to be
left stranded. If this was the case,
although the Nine Dragon Corporation
and the Boyles would not incur any huge
losses, this project had succeeded in
piquing Zed’s interest.
He believed that as long as it was an
absolutely profitable business, coupled
with JW’s cooperation, then this project
would grow to become even bigger and at
a faster rate than he had ever imagined.
Zed’s main purpose for this trip was to
determine whether the Ocean City Plan
could continue.
Fortunately, Jasper had given him a
reassuring answer.
“Mr. Walters, I don’t actually intervene in
the Ocean City business, but I have
another business here that I think has
room for cooperation for the both of us.”
Jasper waved his hand to dismiss the
servants from the room. Then, he got up
and took the empty bowl to fill some
paella before handing it to Zed.
This scene shocked Zed and he quickly
stood up to receive it with both hands.
Zed was also a famous rich man in Harbor
City. Even if some people say that he has
the wealth and status today because of his
status as the Boyles’ son-in-law, it did
not prevent him from being looked up to b
y the vast majority of Harbor City people.
However, who was Jasper?
To be more realistic, even if they were
sitting together with the head of the
Boyles, Jasper would be on the same level.
with them.
This also made him understand that the
cooperation that Jasper was about to
mention next was definitely not anything
simple.
“It’s an honor that you’re willing to give
me an opportunity and are willing to
support me. If I can contribute, I will
definitely not hesitate to do so, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper chuckled and said, “I want to buy
some ships from the Boyles.”
These words stunned Zed.
He did not understand what Jasper meant.
Nor why he said such things.
“Um… the Boyles don’t sell ships. Even if
we do, it’s the ones that are going to be
sold as scrap metal. Moreover, I am not
the one you should discuss this with. I am
only responsible for the business of the
Nine Dragon Corporation.”
Jasper smiled and said, “No, you’re the
one I should talk to.
“What I want to buy are the ships owned b
y your family that are currently
transporting the Atticus family’s rubber
supply in Southeast Terra.”
As soon as he said this, Zed’s face
changed drastically.
Jasper did not keep Zed on tenterhooks. He took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said
faintly, “The conflict between me and the
Atticus family is irreconcilable. Since he
decided to kidnap my person, then I’ll
light his several ships of rubber on fire. It’s only right to make the Atticus family face large-scale breach of contract and high price claims, right, Mr. Walters?”
When he saw Jasper looking at himself with those shining eyes, Zed barely suppressed the storm in his heart and replied with a dry chuckle, “Yes, that’s right.”
As if not aware of how insincere Zed’s words were, Jasper continued, “There are five ships in total, each of which is a huge ship with a displacement of more than 100 thousand tons. According to the market price, it’ll be worth about 45 million Harbor Dollars, so I’ll offer 400 million for those five ships. What do you think?”
Zed felt his scalp tingle as his throat tightened. He said with difficulty, “M-Mr. Laine, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Don’t you? Then I will make it clearer.
“If the five freighters that were loaded with all the rubber production of the Atticus family for the entire quarter were burned on the high seas, then the Boyles will not only receive huge insurance compensation but also my 400 million bucks. As for the Atticus Family, they will only get piles of breached contracts.”
