However, the more he received, the heavier his burden would be.
Ryder knew that Jasper would not give so much power for no reason.
“What’s your condition?” Ryder asked.
“I want Advent Entertainment Group to produce five movies with box office of more than one billion Somer Dollars within two years, bring at least three phenomenon-level celebrities to fame, and double the scale of assets.”
Jasper stated his request and said with a smile, “In addition to the rights I mentioned above, you can also get 10% of the company’s stock.
“If you can accomplish it, then your net worth will grow over 100 million. If you can’t, then I can only find someone else.”
Ryder took a deep breath, stood up, and said, “I’m willing to try.”
Jasper laughed, then stood up and shook Ryder’s hand while saying, “I’m an easy-going man. I won’t interfere with the company’s day-to-day affairs.
“I focus on the results, not the process. I don’t treat my subordinates as workers, and I prefer to use cooperation to define superior-subordinate relationships. If everyone performs well, then we’ll make a fortune together. If not, then I’ll work with someone else.”
Ryder laughed as well, saying, “To be honest with you, Mr. Lane, I did plan to resign and join a new company. I’ve also talked to several headhunters. But now, I think it’ll be a whole new experience working with you.”
Jasper laughed and said, “Let’s shine together.”
“Mm. Let’s shine together.” Ryder nodded.
After Ryder left, Jasper pondered for a very long time in the office.
Jasper did not have a candidate that was better than Ryder right now, hence he could only give it a try and employ him.
Jasper was not lying earlier either. If Ryder did a good job, then he would give him all the benefits he stated earlier. If not, then Ryder would have to pack up and leave.
Jasper was not running a charity. He acquired Gladness Entertainment Movies for 1.5 billion and injected another 300 million after that. That was 1.8 billion altogether. He must see results.
He would be able to tell whether Ryder was performing well or not in just a few months’ time.
In Jasper’s opinion, it would not be difficult to establish a phenomenal entertainment company when he recalled the songs, TV series, and even variety shows that would go viral in the future.
However, Jasper could not just sit around doing nothing and stay in the entertainment company doing one thing only. His goal was to be a true modern consortium, not to have a successful business.
That would be too boring and not grand enough.
Therefore, although Jasper had high demands for Ryder, he did not mind pulling up certain things from memory to let Ryder apply them in the business if he was a genuine talent.
If Ryder was not, then he would just leave him be.
Now that matters related to Advent Entertainment Group were settled, it would not be long before it was time for him to leave Harbor City.
At the thought of this, Jasper summoned Jake Cullen.
After rushing over to Gladness Entertainment Movies, Jake was stunned for a very long time after hearing the news that Jasper had acquired the company.
“Why are you daydreaming? Here’s an investment list containing the stock names and the pre-authorized amount that I want you to purchase next month.”
Jasper gave him a list that totaled up to a two-billion investment.
Some stocks in the list could already be purchased, but some had not reached the lowest price yet, hence it was necessary to wait it out.
Jasper did not have the time to wait it out, and at the same time, he did not want to purchase at a higher price and be taken advantage of. Therefore, this was where Jake came in.
“Two billion! You’re giving it to me straight away for investment? Didn’t you ask me to manage only? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away with the money?” Jake asked in shock, looking at the list in his hand.
“What are you thinking about? The funds will be in the Laws’ trusteeship. You can’t take a single dime away without the Laws’ authorization. They also have a copy of this list,” Jasper said.
“…” Jake gritted his teeth, wanting to slap himself in the mouth.
Did he have nothing better to do? Why did he bring contempt upon himself?
At this moment, Jasper’s phone rang.
It was a call from Zachary.
“Jasp, Old Master Law is back and wants to see you. Can you come over?”
