Life at the Top Chapter 2013
If they did not do meritorious deeds or show off, when would they do it?
However, could these families be regarded as greedy based on a causal loophole?
Not necessarily.
When one rose to a certain level and stature, regardless of it was Swallow Capital or himself, everyone would only care about the result and they would not ask the reason and original intention, The same applied to those families.
As long as the result was good, who cares i
f the original intention was less than
purehearted?
Take Jasper for example, if he was doomed to fail after doing so many things, and he would end up being exposed and criticized, why would he continue? He would just pack his bags and flee.
Human nature was inherently selfish and complicated. Some people would genuinely sacrifice themselves to fulfill a greater good, but those people did not exist in this room.
Everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie, s o whether this person came with a fruit knife or a meat cleaver, it did not matter. Any knife that could get the meat off the prey was good enough.
Jasper suddenly became enlightened as he thought about this.
He also understood that, just like what the little prince said before, no matter how much he thought about it, no matter how big the combined advantages of his past and present life were, he was not from a big family, so he could not properly look a t the problem from the their perspective. A t the end of the day, it was him who had looked down on this matter and also looked down on these families.
These people were so evil.
However, whether it was Jasper or Swallow Capital, they would have to praise their evilness. After all, it was good that they were evil.
“You’re giving up foreign trade
cooperation and even sacrificing yourself. This is a high price.”
Jasper smiled softly and asked, “How
much money can you gather?”.
The little prince immediately answered, ” We did the math on the way here. We’ll have about 160 billion Somer Dollars at most.”
Jasper’s expression changed.
Since the financial war first started, these families had been continuously giving out money, with the profits from JW Foundation still being locked up in the United States and currently non withdrawable, so they were basically book profits.
Things had reached this stage, but the fact that they could still take out 160 billion Somer Dollars in cash truly impressed Jasper.
The little prince seemed to know what Jasper was thinking and he smiled bitterly. “In reality, this money is not even a quarter of the amount of the money that we can take out. We’re not lying when we say that the past few periods squeezed us dry. We used our industries as collateral to get a loan from the bank. Also, it’s clear that the bank was given some sort of authorization. These loans were approved very quickly and efficiently. On the premise of not affecting the operation of the industry, the maximum amount was obtained in the shortest speed.
“It’s also another way of green lighting a policy”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and nodded, thinking that this made sense.
Otherwise, it was outrageous that these families would still be able take out 160 billion pure cash now, right now.
It was only 2001 now, not the inflation era
in which any company could be valued at
tens of billions, which was only common
ten or twenty years later.
“If there is so much money, then I have to
alter the plan I just came up with… Your
money will not enter the A-share market.”
Jasper crossed his hands and fingers under his chin. His sentence shocked everyone in the room.
