On the other side, Soros arrived at the café where someone was already waiting for him.
“Soros, you’re a little late.” Ford said when he saw him.
Paulson was drinking coffee the entire time while looking at the document in his hand without speaking.
“I went to visit Jasper. This young man from Somerland is still as ignorant as before. Hmph!”
When he heard Jasper’s name, Paulson stopped flipping through the document. He then looked up at Soros and said jokingly while raising an eyebrow.
“It looks like you didn’t manage to take advantage of him.”
Paulson saw through Soros’ with this sentence. This was not the first time Soros failed to take advantage of the situation. On the other side, Ford did not look like he was enjoying this scene. His face was stern as he remembered the embarrassment that his family suffered when they were targeted before. It was still vivid in his mind.
“Jasper had a very high status in Somerland at this time, but it does not mean that it will be the same in the United States. This is the contract, come take a look.” Paulson handed the document to Soros after hearing what Ford said.
The conditions detailed were targeting Jasper, but they were not permanent.
“They all have time limits. Once the period is over, won’t Jasper be able to make a comeback again?”
Soros frowned. Obviously, the contract was not very satisfactory to him. “The contract does have a time limit, but it’s not to destroy Jasper. We are just waiting for the time to come…”
Paulson tapped on the table, his face grim…
***
The time agreed by the negotiating parties soon arrived and the location was set in the great hall of a hotel. Jasper and others had already taken their seats while Soros and his gang arrived slightly late.
“I’m sorry everyone, I felt a little sick from eating the food here last night.”
Soros sneered as soon as he entered the door, clearly mocking the other party with the smile on hi face. Paulson and Ford who were walking next to him did not say anything. Paulson was holding a document in his hand that seemed to be the subject of discussion today.
“Does Mr. Soros prefers western fast food then? Bread should suit you better.”
Jasper replied with a smile. His face looked very kind, like he had just met his old friend. Even when the others sat down on the other side, they could feel the surging waves across the table.
When Soros heard Jasper’s words, his smile froze on his face.
“Why don’t you find a doctor to check your body first? Don’t drop the ball at such a critical time.”
Jasper’s ability to insinuate was not inferior to Soros. Since this guy liked to act so eccentric, then he would fight back in the same way.
“Mr. Paulson, can we talk about our affairs now?”
The crippled Brown said from the side.
“Of course, we proposed this contract. You should take a look and see what you want to add so we can include it in time.” Paulson showed no expression and handed the document directly to Jasper.
Jasper just glanced at it and did not say anything. Then, he handed the document to others to look over. Celine and Anna both frowned after reading it. Obviously, there was something wrong with the contract.
“Mr. Paulson, this may be too one-sided.”
“Yeah, that’s why we said that you can put forward any requirements and we will implement them.” Paulson turned his gaze to Jasper when he finished speaking.
The latter smiled indifferently and threw the document on the table.
“As far as the current document is concerned, I have nothing to say about it. But if you want me to name my requirements, I can tell you the first one right now.”
“The first one?” Soros frowned upon hearing that. “What do you mean the first one? Does it mean you have more?”
Jasper folded his arms across his chest with a relaxed expression. “Of course, didn’t Mr. Paulson say that I should tell you guys my requirements if I have them?”
“So it’s fine for me to mention a few more.”
Paulson smiled. “Alright, go ahead.”
“First, I have to get the money back into a Somerland account. You can’t refute this.”
“Alright, we can accept this.” Soros answered.
“Second, since you have given me a rule not to step into the United States stock market for three years, you are also not allowed to step into the Somerland A-shares and Harbor stocks.”
“Jasper, don’t you think this one of yours is a bit redundant?” Soros’s face was dark, and it was evident that he was reluctant to agree to this.
Jasper chuckled lightly and looked at Soros with his lips curled.
“Really? I don’t feel the same way. I think it’s actually pretty good. It’s just reciprocity. Since you are restricting me from entering the United States stock market, then I will prevent you from coming here. This is very appropriate.”
It may sound the same on the surface, but Jasper had one thing more than them.
Money… Getting back all the money earned from the United States stock market would require a huge sum of money.
“Jasper!” Soros raised his voice.
“We agree…”
Before Soros finished speaking, Paulson interrupted him.
Everyone looked at Paulson in unison while the other party still maintained the same elegance. Paulson was vividly expressing the elegance of the Rothschilds that was engraved in the bones.
Also, there was a sense of pride.
