“Anna, can you two hurry up?” Henry shouted impatiently from not far away.
Upon hearing this, Jasper smiled and looked at Anna. He very gentlemanly reached out his hand and bent over slightly.
“The future owner of an haute couture brand, we have to go quickly now.”

“Jasper, I already know about you coming here. I have heard people talking about that factory, but I am not familiar with it. If you want to build a domestic car brand, you will face a lot of pressure. Right now, in this industry, both technology and brands from overseas are already far ahead.”
Old Master Law took a sip of tea and said to Jasper, who was sitting beside him.
Upon hearing this, Jasper smiled. “Old Master Law, we can’t limit the economic development in Somerland. The current situation is not beneficial to us, so we must find a breakthrough.”
“Although cars are not a must-have means of transportation for every family right now, they will definitely be in five or ten years time. We cannot do without our own brand, and this independent brand must be known across the country and even the world.”
These few words of Jasper made his position clear. He understood that the economy was a protracted war and there would not be a result in just two or three years. Time was needed to prove everything.
Old Master Law nodded and was very pleased.
“Okay, as long as you’ve made up your mind. Somerland will surely be able to realize its wish for revival with you at the forefront. You can bring Henry along in Harbor City. This boy, although he is not as smart as you, he has some tricks up his sleeves when you need someone to act like a poser or be a little unreasonable,” Old Master Law said with a smile.
Henry could not hold himself from spitting out his tea when he heard this.
Was his grandfather praising him or criticizing him?
‘Grandpa, your praise is really unique…’ Henry did not dare to retort his grandfather directly, so he could only murmur.
His look of resentment delighted Jasper.

The place where they were meeting was at a high-end hotel. This time, it was mainly for the factory so they had no idea how much the other party would ask for.
“Jasper, when we get there, I’ll try to get more information first. I asked him about the price on the phone, but he refused to tell me, so I had to go to the scene to ask him,” Henry said.
Henry seemed to be a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, but he would not dilly-dally when he needed to be serious. Furthermore, this was Harbor City, his territory.
“Okay.” Jasper nodded.
The evening breeze brought some warmth over, which was very pleasurable. At the front of the hotel was a line of people. They were all dressed in suits, and when Jasper saw their outfit, Jasper could not hold back his laughter.
“Henry, look at those people. Do you think their outfit looks exactly like what your subordinates would wear back then?”
“Cough cough. I don’t have such cheap taste, okay? Also, I don’t know what motivated this kid to arrange for a bunch of people to stand at the door.”
“Perhaps this looks cool to him?”
“Let’s go in and have a look.”
When they walked into the hotel, they saw a group of hostesses bending over and bowing to them.
“Welcome, Mr. Laine!”
Jasper was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to do this.
“It seems that the other party has long been prepared. This is not a small layout either, so he’s giving you enough face.”
Behind him, Henry held back his laugh and said in a low voice. “These are all fake.”
Jasper did not have much of a reaction, he just smiled and nodded at those hostesses. Then, the head of the hostesses walked over quickly and made a gesture in front of Jasper.
“Mr. Laine, Mr. Jefferson has been waiting for you. Please come with me…”
After she said that, the hostess led Jasper and the others into a private room.
Inside the Culture Private Room on the second floor. When Mr. Jefferson saw Jasper coming in after opening the door, he went over to shake Jasper’s hand.
“Mr. Laine, I’ve heard about you a long time ago. Now that I’m finally meeting you in person, you are indeed very elegant. Let me introduce myself, my name is Rowan Jefferson…”
Jasper smiled and nodded. “Hello…”
Rowan seemed passionate and he looked very cheerful. He did not put on airs like the other rich young masters out there.
“Since you’re here, let’s eat first.”
Rowan went back to his seat and clapped his hands lightly. Then, the servers who had been waiting outside for some time came in with the dishes.
“Bring me the two Brandy’s I saved here as well,” Rowan said to the server.
“Alright, please wait…”
After a while, the two extremely expensive Brandy’s were sent to the table.
‘Mr. Laine, have some food. There’s no need to be so humble.”
Rowan opened the two bottles of Brandy’s at one go, and after he poured a glass, he put it in front of Jasper.
“Mr. Laine, here you go…” Rowan smiled and did not say much.
Jasper nodded and took a small sip. “I think it’s better if we go straight to the topic.”
“Sure…” Rowan answered and showed Jasper three fingers.
