Since young, Jake was always surrounded by others and flattered by them. He grew up with the nickname of being a genius.
He was always the ideal kid mentioned by other parents.
Even on Wall Street, he was also considered to have become famous from a young age.
However, it was those incidents that created Jake’s ego and proud character.
However, no matter what happened, no one would deny Jake’s exceptionally strong working ability.
In his 20s, he was able to create fame for himself on Wall Street. Such an ability was impossible to be seen in any ordinary person.
Besides, Jake was also a bright person.
After leaving the Laws’ household, even though he was very upset and suffered a lot, he took the time to calm himself. After looking back at his mistakes, he returned to witness Jasper’s way of trading.
He had to admit that if he was the one who operated it, Harbor Stocks might be done for.
Jake was not willing to admit it verbally, but deep within him, he knew it crystal clear.
According to the momentum on the market, looking out for such an investment would require at least 15% of profits. Only then would it be considered as the norm.
However, that was only for those small customers with millions of investments.
‘This is two billion…’
To be honest, Jasper’s offer was considered luxurious.
Even if Jasper was not famous now, many people would still fight their way to get hold of the offer if it was extended to the public.
The thought of it made Jake grit his teeth and say, “I’ll take the offer!”
Jasper smiled and clapped Jake’s shoulder, saying, “This is what you call knowing what’s best.”
“When are we signing the agreement?”
Even though Jake had agreed to cooperate with Jasper, deep within his heart, he had completely surrendered to him. Even though his pride made him unable to step down without feeling awkward, he still forced himself to ask the question.
“I’ll get in touch with you after some time.” Jasper waved his hand.
“Sure. I’ll be waiting for your news,” said Jake, then he left the scene.
Looking at his back view, Henry elbowed Jasper. “Let’s not talk about me, but there are tons of talented people in Harbor City. Why bother looking for him?”
“Indeed, there are lots of talented people and investment management companies who can accept my task. However, in the near future, Harbor City will be operating as my second largest base. I won’t be able to rest assured if I hand it over to other companies,” said Jasper while shaking his head.
As for the details, which involved Jasper’s future and the plans for his business territory, there was no need to reveal them to Henry as he would not be able to understand it.
“Then you’ll be able to rest assured if it’s Jake? Don’t you forget that he’s a man with greed! Besides, he even has a grudge against you,” said Henry, astonished.
Regardless of what he said, those two people were considered to have suspicions toward each other. He had never heard of an enemy who would be much more trustworthy than other people.
“He’s aware of my relationship with your family, and he knows that I have good connections with the four affluent families of Harbor City, as well as the government of Harbor City. Hence, even if I’m not in Harbor City, he won’t dare do anything foolish.
“An enemy who knows how overwhelming you are will do things more cautiously compared to a stranger who knows nothing about you. The chances of them doing foolish things will be fewer as well.”
Henry heard the comment and thought about it for a long time. He then said with a sorrowful tone, “I don’t get it…
“Aren’t you guys tired? Every day, you guys are calculating so many things. It’s as if you guys have to think through it ten times.”
“Let’s go. Let’s head home.”
Jasper stretched lazily.
Henry quickly followed happily. He was already used to being the character of Jasper’s underling… He still did not find anything weird about it.
This time, Jasper did not return to the Laws’ household.
Zachary was busy, and he was not able to divide his person to carry out other tasks at the same time. After the huge financial crisis that landed on Harbor City, Zachary would have to personally handle issues, be it the family’s business or the issues in the government of Harbor City.
Zachary even brought Anna along to help out.
