“Sure!”
After agreeing to Jasper’s intrustctions, everyone left the meeting room to work on their respective tasks. Only Jasper, who was consumed by his thoughts, remained in the room.
Sena was a bomb that would eventually blow up in their faces one day if they did not get rid of it.
Terizone was still too vulnerable right now. It would not stand a chance against any harsh blows. If this problem was not resolved as soon as possible, Terizone’s future development may be severely delayed.
In his past life, Sena rushed to obtain a public listing due to a major shortage of liquidity. Sena had now delayed its listing for such a long time. Furthermore, the internet economy bubble had burst, making it even more difficult for Dane Warren to obtain investments within the country. Therefore, Sena should be short of funds as well.
However, Jasper knew very well that the progress of Sena’s public listing would not come to a standstill. On the contrary, it would be fast-forwarded instead.
Jasper called Jack over after thinking about how Sena succeeded in obtaining a public listing through its connections with Colossal Investments.
“Jack, do you know anyone from Colossal Investments?” Jasper asked.
Jack was momentarily stunned. He then nodded and said, “I know William, the president of the Terra regional branch. We don’t know each other very well, but Celine Maynard, the general manager, was my classmate. She’s also from Harbor City, so we’re quite closely acquainted.”
Celine Maynard.
Jasper knew this name very well.
In his past life, he had also been involved in the financial industry. Therefore, he had been greatly influenced by the Queen of Investment, who was widely renowned within the global financial circle.
According to the timeline, she should have just gotten married right now. At the same time, she had just taken up the position of general manager of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments. Four years later, she would advance further up the hierarchy and become the president.
When Jasper got reborn, the Queen of Investment had gotten promoted to the position of executive chairwoman at Colossal Investments.
“Sure, can you make an appointment with her for me?” Jasper asked.
Jack nodded and said, “Alright, wait for a while. I’ll contact her through a phone call.”
A few minutes later, Jack returned. “She happens to be in Cavern City for a business trip right now. She will be returning to Harbor City tomorrow afternoon. She said that she’s free to meet up with you anytime,” he said.
Acting decisively, Jasper stood up and said, “Give me the address.”
Jack told him the address of a hotel, then proceeded to ask him curiously, “Mr. Laine, may I ask if you know her?”
“If I knew her, why would I bother to ask you to help me set up an appointment?” Jasper asked in amusement.
Jack thought that this reply made sense. “Initially, I told her that you would like to meet her, but she didn’t agree. This is expected because, as you know, a company like Colossal Investments with a large-scale business tends to be haughtier and more arrogant. However, she immediately agreed to meet up with you once I told her your name and that you owned JW Capital,” he said.
Jasper did not find this surprising. If Colossal Investments, which ranked the highest among the top four investment banks, did not know anything about what he had done in Harbor City, they ought to just close down.
“Maybe she managed to sense my domineering stance through my name alone,” Jasper joked.
Silently, Jack watched Jasper leave the company in a hurry.
The hotel that Celine Maynard was staying in was quite a distance away. Jasper received a call from Hudson while he was still on the way there.
“You guessed correctly, Mr. Laine. Sena has launched their second attack on us,” Hudson said in a heavy tone.
“I’m on the move right now. Hold on over there. Make sure what happened yesterday doesn’t repeat itself,” Jasper said calmly.
“Understood,” Hudson said with a nod.
“Hudson, what did Mr. Laine say?” Logan, who had an overcast expression on his face, immediately asked Hudson once he put down the phone.
“Mr. Laine wants us to persevere through it to the best of our abilities. He has begun taking action over there. He won’t allow Sena to continue acting so recklessly,” Hudson said.
“F*ck it, Dane Warren is such a b*stard! We’re all operating our own respective businesses. He’s just messing with us just because he’s more experienced and owns a larger company than us!” Logan yelled angrily.
Logan’s words represented everyone else’s innermost thoughts.
Hudson’s gaze deepened as he voiced out, “Weakness is not an excuse! This is a lesson that each and every one of us must remember. The more aggressive Sena and Dane Warren are, the more we have to bear it and protect ourselves. The day will come when we’ll grow bigger and stronger than them. When that day comes, everyone will look highly upon us!”
