“Three hundred million and the car factory is yours.”
Three hundred million was no problem for Jasper in his current situation. However, whether it was worth it was another question.
At this moment, Henry stood up and toasted Rowan.
“Rowan, isn’t three hundred million a bit too much? As far as I know, your car factory’s revenue is very low and you’re just playing around with it. It’s better to sell it at a cheaper price.”
Henry wanted to lower the price for Jasper.
Rowan thought for two seconds before nodding. “Alright, we are all friends anyway.
“Mr. Laine, how much can you pay?”
Rowan never mentioned the price on the phone call previously, so Henry never thought that he would agree so happily at the dinner table.
Jasper did not know what was on Rowan’s mind.
“Two hundred million.” Jasper said directly.
“Okay, two hundred million it is. However, you still have to grant me a request.”
This time, Rowan blurted out without hesitation. It seemed that he had long thought of what to say.
“Oh? What is the request? Let’s hear it.” Jasper also wanted to know what Rowan was going to do.
In just a few words, Rowan was willing to waive 100 million dollars, so he must have other plans.
“Actually, my request is very simple. Mr. Laine, I know that you bought the car factory in order to enter the automotive industry. My request is let me be your partner so that we can do business together.”
Rowan paused as if feeling a little inappropriate. Then, he continued, “As long as you promise me this, I can even give you the car factory for free.”
‘For free?’
This was interesting.
Jasper finally realized that Rowan did not care about how much money he could sell the car factory for. Rowan actually cared about the chance to work with him.
At this moment, Jasper looked at Rowan. “Rowan, you were only playing around back then, so why are you so serious now?”
Rowan smiled in embarrassment after he heard that. “To be honest, I was really just fooling around in the automotive industry. However, when I heard you’re entering the industry, I saw it as a chance. Everyone knows that Mr. Laine is a genius among geniuses in the investment industry. So, I want to follow you and make something of myself in the automotive industry.”
Rowan did not hide the truth and he directly told Jasper what he had on his mind. His intentions were clear. He wanted to use this opportunity to share a slice of the cake with Jasper.
Henry looked at Jasper. He wondered if Jasper would say yes to Rowan’s request.
At the same time, Rowan was also longing for Jasper’s answer.
From Jasper’s perspective, it was a matter of involving an extra partner.
After staying silent for a few seconds, Jasper spoke slowly. “Mr. Jefferson, do you want to be a shareholder?”
“No, I can forgo the shares. I just want a chance to work with you. I am fine with anything as long as you agree.”
Rowan stopped and continued, “If you agree, I’ll only ask for 1% of the profit. The rest will go to you.”
Rowan became much more respectful. Perhaps he was really desperate for this chance.
“1% is too little. I’ll give you 10%.” Jasper lifted his glass and took another sip.
“Mr. Laine, does this mean you’re saying yes?” Rowan lifted his glass in excitement to toast Jasper.
“Yeah.” Jasper nodded slightly.
“This is great! Right, Mr. Laine, you can just call me Row from now on.”
“From this day on, we’ll be partners. I’ll listen to you no matter what you say!”
Rowan had a bright smile on his face. For him, it was such a rare chance to work with Jasper. So many people who wanted to work with Jasper, but they did not have the chance to do so.
“Mr. Laine, let me wish for our car factory to make a fortune in advance!”
Then, Rowan downed the rest of his Brandy in one gulp. After they had a few drinks and ate some food, Rowan brought Jasper and the gang to the car factory.
The car factory occupied a space of about 20 thousand square meters and it was very well-equipped. It did not lack anything.
After they walked around, Rowan stood still. “Mr. Laine, should we give this car factory a new name?”
Jasper nodded slightly. “We should. But I don’t know what to call it yet. We can talk about this in the future. No hurry.”
After they saw the car factory, Jasper was very satisfied. This was not too different from what he expected. Next, he should confirm the production plan and hire the technicians. Then, they should be able to officially manufacture cars.
Before they left, Rowan took out an unrequited transfer agreement.
Jasper scanned it and signed. Just like that, the matter with the car factory was settled.
Before they left, Rowan also asked for Jasper’s contact information, and before Jasper left, he gave Rowan a task.
He asked Rowan to find an expert in car manufacturing. It would be best if it was an engineer with more than ten years of experience. For Rowan, this was not hard. That night itself, Rowan offered a high price and hired a few engineers from another famous car factory.
