Even if he expected this, Dean was still
shocked when he heard this from Jasper.
“What?”
Jasper smiled and said, “Don’t tell me you
don’t want to. In a sense, you will fulfill m
y request sooner or later, so why the
dilemma?
“You guys are all vying for the position of
the crown prince. At the same time, the
power in my hands is enough to put you o
n the throne and crown you the king with
the right to rule. Do you still want the
position of the crown prince if that’s the
case?”
Jasper patted Dean, who was trembling all
over, and continued with a smile, “Believe
me, the taste of being above everyone is
much better than the taste of being above
everyone but one.”
Dean swallowed subconsciously.
He looked at Jasper and said, “But my
grandfather has a position that no one can
replace in the Haddock Chamber of
Commerce. He is the spiritual leader of all.
of Haddock Chamber of Commerce…”
“He is old, and he’s already abandoned by
time. Haddock Chamber of Commerce
doesn’t need such an old guy to boss
everyone around. Over the years, what
results has he led the Haddock Chamber of
f Commerce to achieve? How much profit
has he generated?
“He is more like a person who has already
stepped down but is actually controlling
everything behind the scenes. Meanwhile,
the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is a
business organization. The world is
bustling and everyone’s chasing after
profit. As long as you show greater value
than him and let others see that, then
naturally, there will be people supporting
you.”
Dean asked seriously, “I want to know
what is your purpose for doing this?”
“My purpose?”
Jasper chuckled and said, “Can’t I just
hate that old fart?”
The corners of Dean’s lips twitched and h
e could not say a word.
“Stop guessing.”
Jasper glanced at Dean and said faintly, “I am not interested in the measly assets of Haddock Chamber of Commerce. Besides, the Chamber of Commerce is a loose organization. Everyone is just adhering to the tradition and it’s indeed easier to obtain warmth by staying close together. Even if Gale is asking the members of the Chamber of Commerce to hand over all the money, so do you think anyone will pay attention to him?
“If that’s the case, what else can I get after I help obtain the leadership position?
“If you insist on me having a reason, I can only tell you that the financial war is only temporary. Neither we nor the United States can fight a protracted financial war.
“If you look further out at the overall situation, you will find that countries such as the United Kingdom and Sunrise Land are thrilled because they’re making money in the dark. At the end of the day, they are the biggest winners of this financial war.
“Now neither Soros nor I have a way to stop immediately because the cost is too great, but the time for us to stop will come sooner or later. After the financial war subsides, stable development will be the main theme of this era and what I want is a stable home front.
“JW’s vision has always been on the global layout. Somerland is the back garden of JW, and I need a group of more unified and forward-looking kindred spirits, understand?”
Dean was stunned for a long time before h
e finally smiled bitterly.
If he did not want to admit that he was
unconvinced and jealous before, right
now, he was truly won over.
He also understood that since then, it would be difficult for Jasper to have an opponent in Somerland.
Everything else aside, just his dignity and mind, as well as a strategic vision, far surpassed the others by at least 10 years. This was what made Jasper invincible.
“Do you need time to consider?” Jasper asked.
Dean was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he replied in a deep voice, “I don’t need to think about i t. I agree with your terms.”
With a chuckle, Jasper said, “That’s right. Those who do big things shouldn’t split hairs on trivial matters. If you’re hesitating and indecisive, it will only make you lose the opportunity that’s right at your fingertips.”
