Nauritius City…
Jasper went to a western restaurant according to the location on his mobile phone. Once he entered, he was led to a remote corner by the waiter.
Sitting in front of him was Paulson.
“Laine, according to your routine, you should have just finished dinner. Why don’t you have a cup of coffee?” Paulson always had a smile on his face, which made it hard to understand what he was truly thinking.
“Of course.” Jasper responded with a small smile.
“What? Are you surprised to see me?” Paulson held the cup and spoke to him calmly.
Jasper replied with a smile, “A little.” He then ordered a cup of coffee.
“If you don’t go back with Soros now, aren’t you afraid they will think you‘re cooperating with me?” Jasper asked.
The United States was so nervous right now that they had prohibited Jasper from entering the United States stock market for three years. The purpose was to keep Jasper from feeling pleased with himself there, but Paulson stayed here and did not leave immediately.
“It‘s nothing. It’s normal for old friends to meet up. Aren’t we old friends?”
It seemed that the other party was even more thick-skinned than Jasper for saying this. Then again, Jasper did not think Paulson has stayed on here after the mission to banter with him.
“You’re still a Rothschild at the end of the day, and I’m not arrogant enough to think that a world-class consortium will want to be allied with me.”
Paulson looked at him with a nonchalant smile.
“At the moment, no JW Group is neither too big nor small for the consortium, but it is not yet a threat to the Rothschilds. However, it is still early to decide whether you will be friend or foe in the future.”
The two sentences clearly distinguished their current relationship.
“Did you stay to talk about our relationship?”
Paulson shook his head. Then, he took out a golden card from his jacket pocket. “Jasper, congratulations. JW Capital has been recognized by the world as the first consortium in Somerland.”
Jasper was slightly taken aback when he heard the news. Then, he frowned, his eyes full of disbelief. “Mr. Paulson, are you joking with me?”
“Haha, you can see for yourself whether I’m joking.”
After taking the card, he saw that everything on it had been clearly written out.
“JW is no longer at the height it used to be. Can you still manage the JW that is now going global?” Paulson looked at Jasper, trying to read his expression.
However, Jasper was only surprised for a second before returning to his usual calm state. “Of course, isn‘t it good to climb up the ladder? I also have to thank you for the good news you brought me. Why don’t I host a party and invite you? What do you think?”
Paulson’s hand holding the coffee paused. He then smiled and replied after he raised his head to look at the other party. “That’s not necessary. I’m here to bring you some thing. Since the thing has been delivered, I should leave.”
He got up and looked at Jasper. After that, he said with a small grin. “Jasper, we may not see each other for the next three years. I’m very curious about what you will be like by then. Including… Your JW Financial Group. I look forward to seeing what you’ll become in three years.”
Jasper looked back at him with a smile and nodded. “I look forward to seeing you then…”
The two bade farewell and Jasper stood at the door of the shop to watch Paulson leave. It was unknown what their relationship would be in three years time.
Would they be enemies or friends?
The answer was actually very clear. Paulson was from the United States and, no matter what happened, he would be on their side. If they touched the capital in the deepest part of the United States, they would surely become enemies. Right now, Harbor City needed to recuperate and the entire financial circle in Somerland needed nourishment. Three years was enough time for them to grow.
They would have the answer to everything three years later.
Jasper averted his gaze and went home with the card in hand. However, his heart felt heavy. No matter how difficult this road would be, he would still advance courageously.
Until the end of his life…
