At this time, Jasper and the little prince were walking slowly beside the busy street. The passing pedestrians were in a hurry but no one could have imagined that these two young people who were wandering beside the road were the true leaders among the young people in all of Somerland.
“Are you not going to go in and have a look?” Jasper said slowly.
“No. I’ll arrange for someone to send flowers inside. I think it’s the thought that counts. It’s also due to the arrangement of the elders in the family. I have no relations with the Haddock Chamber of Commerce,” the little prince said lightly.
“By the way, the crippled Brown has not been out of his residence in a very long time but this time, he stepped out because of you. Isn‘t he a difficult person to get along with?” He stopped, turned his head, and asked Jasper beside him.
The little prince, Lord Alvarado, and the crippled Brown were all in the same circle, but the crippled Brown had the most special identity and the highest status among them. Moreover, when it came to the crippled Brown, the little prince had very little contact with him, so he learned a lot of things through rumors. It was undeniable that the crippled Brown’s identity and status were superior, but he was not very familiar with the him.
After all, the crippled Brown stayed in his residence all year round and was withdrawn by nature, so few people could ever get in touch with him. Therefore, little prince was still unfamiliar with him in some aspects.
Jasper pondered for a while, then said, “Fortunately, he is not serious in speech and manner, but his thinking is different from most people. Many people can’t get along with him. Even people in our circle can hardly get along with him.”
The little prince shrugged and then lamented, “But in comparison, we are much more dashing than him. Maybe it‘s because Heaven is jealous of his talents, so he can only stay in his residence all his life.”
The crippled Brown had been living in his residence all year round, but he could understand the outside world clearly. Perhaps only he could do something like this.
After he heard this, Jasper did not continue to speak. He did not think the crippled Brown was difficult to get along with. Instead, he felt that getting along with him could reduce many obstacles because the crippled Brown could see things and people very clearly.
Sometimes, Jasper even wondered if the crippled Brown had reincarnated from the later generations just like him.
The two then went to a tea house. After getting out of the car, the aroma of tea filled their noses.
The waiter of the tea house immediately came to the two of them and led them to the door of a private room. “Mr. Brown, your guests are here.”
“Let them in.”
The attendant bowed at Jasper and then left.
Jasper stepped forward to open the door. When he saw the crippled Brown in a wheelchair, the two smiled at each other.
“You came earlier than I expected.”
Jasper stepped into the room and sat directly opposite the crippled Brown. Before Jasper could speak, the crippled Brown’s gaze shifted to the little prince.
“Member of the Royal family, why don’t you come in and take a seat?”
“I didn’t expect you to finally step out of your residence.”
After the little prince finished speaking, he sat down. The crippled Brown in front of him always gave him a sense of oppression. The crippled Brown looked away and made tea for the two of them.
“Jasper, how’re things with the United States?”
“It‘s done, and they are doing the finishing touches over there,” Jasper took the cup and said warmly.
“There‘s nothing to worry about, now it’s just time to test the waters. We’ll see the development of the industry in three years time.”
Jasper was brief with his three sentences.
At present, the most important thing was to stabilize the development of domestic industries first.
The crippled Brown took a sip of tea and looked at him. “It seems that we have come up with a plan. Are you planning to start with things such as the infrastructure and technology industry?”
“That’s right, domestic economic development and technological advancements such as science and technology are key.”
The crippled Brown agreed with what Jasper said and nodded silently.
After this financial war, whether it was the crippled Brown, Jasper, or other people involved, almost all of them had noticed a problem. This time it was a tie, but if the domestic economy stagnated, it would mean they were suffering a setback.
“What are you going to do?”
The crippled Brown exhorted, “It’s not an easy thing to do. If everything in the world were easy, would there be anything difficult?”
Jasper said in a very relaxed tone, “And I believe that in the next few years, our domestic economy will develop rapidly.”
The crippled Brown kept looking at him without saying a word. The current Jasper gave him a different feeling now. In the past, he was only regarded as an ordinary businessman, but now he seemed to be more than that. He had potential that other entrepreneurs did not have.
“You have to be able to endure setbacks on the road to revival. If you have anything you need, just tell me. Whether it’s the Browns or otherwise, we will help you when and where we can,” the crippled Brown said profoundly.
Everyone knew that the crippled Brown had a withdrawn personality, but they did not know how much suffering he had experienced over the years. Although he had not walked out of the residence for many years, he had done a lot in secret. Furthermore, his family sacrificed even more.
All of this was for Somerland.
However, Jasper shook his head and said with a smile, “I don’t dare to alarm you. If you take action, others might feel bad. Besides, it’s not that time yet, so don’t worry.”
Now, all walks of life were springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Jasper wanted to be the owner of this garden.
The little prince sat on the side and did not interrupt. It was a little uncomfortable to see the two of them chatting with each other. He could naturally understand what the two of them were saying, but was it not tiring to talk like this?
The little prince looked at the two of them and said, “There are not many industries in the country that are as attractive as the automobile industry. We have a large population in our country, so when the economy rises, people’s demands will inevitably increase. Outsiders cannot meddle too much with the big pie that is the automobile industry.”
“Not only the automobile industry but also the technology industry, the communications industry, and so on. We can’t miss all of these,” Jasper took a sip of tea and said slowly.
After hearing this, the crippled Brown had a solemn look on his face, “Three years. Are you sure you can build up these industries in three years?”
“Not necessarily, but I absolutely have to,” Jasper shook his head and said seriously. “Everything is difficult at the beginning, nothing is ever easy.”
The crippled Brown nodded. He came here this time to comfort Jasper, but it seemed that he was overthinking it.
Right, how would someone who was not scared of Western power be defeated by the future?
Also, he had no idea that Jasper’s every move was meticulously planned and thought over.
He would take one step and then plan ten steps ahead. Jasper would be very clear about the surroundings of the road he was taking. If he wanted to win on this road, he would need to strategize for everything.
“I’ll still say the same thing. Just tell me if you need anything. We will definitely help you when you need it.”
