After going back to Terizone, Hudson and the rest were not back yet. Inside the office, Jasper and Jack were sitting next to each other.
“I’ve contacted Montagne Capitals and they want to confirm whether you’ve really gotten Colossal Investments’ 25% of the shares, Mr. Laine.”
After he heard what Jack said, Jasper smiled and said, “You want to know too, right, Jack?”
Jack chortled and said, “I think it’s true. If this was someone else, I won’t believe them, but if it’s you, there’s a possibility.”
“You think so highly of me.” Jasper shrugged. He was not a god, so he could not make everything go his way.
Basically, the plan this time was to use the misinformation between Montagne Capitals and Colossal Investments to create a chance to gain some advantages.
Jasper told Colossal Investments that he had Montagne Capitals’ 34% of the shares. He was using this to threaten them to make them realize that if they did not nod their heads, Sena would not be able to float in the market.
As such, they would definitely sell their shares.
As it was Sena’s internal problem that caused their float to fail, according to the agreement, Colossal Investments would automatically get 25% shares as compensation.
On the other hand, Jasper could use the fact that he got Colossal Investments’ shares as a requirement to buy the shares Montagne Capitals had.
Montagne Capitals would not have a reason to decline that as well.
After Jack heard what Jasper said, he widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “You’re saying that… you’re lying to them?”
Jasper smiled and said, “I’m not lying because I’m this close to getting my hands on Colossal Investments’ share of Sena’s shares, and it is indeed 25%.”
Jasper told Jack about his plan.
Jack was dazed and dizzy after he heard it.
“To be honest, I’m so impressed with you,” Jack said sincerely.
“These are just cheap tricks. The main problem is that we’re still not strong enough. If not, we wouldn’t have to use such cheap tricks and could just crush them brazenly,” Jasper lamented.
Jack said, “You’re still young and have a long future ahead. In a few more years, you’ll be able to reach the height you mentioned. To be honest, I have no idea where you’ll be in the future, but it must be a height that other people can only look up to.
“How should I reply to Montagne Capitals then?” Jack asked.
Jasper hesitated for a while before saying, “Did they quote a price?”
Jack said, “They did. 200 million.”
“They only invested 80 million back then, right? It’s just been two years and they’re selling it for 200 million. What great businesspeople,” Jasper said dully.
Jack laughed and said, “There’s still a very large chance with this price.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “No, we don’t need to negotiate the price. Just promise them. The requirement is to deal immediately.”
Jack was stumped for words. He could not help but say, “We could at least get it down to 180 million…”
“Jack, we don’t have any stocks with us. If this drags on, problems will arise,” Jasper said with a smile.
“The most important thing is that I can double this 200 million very soon. Everyone underestimates that Sena still has the value of Terizone. If I combine these two companies into one, who else would become the king of the internet in this country?”
Jack stopped speaking abruptly and looked at Jasper while overwhelmed with shock. He muttered, “If that’s the case, Terizone could skyrocket. It would be immeasurably valuable to be number one in the country’s internet industry.”
“That’s why I’m asking you to talk to them about this for me. Go as soon as you can,” Jasper said.
Jack got up and said seriously, “Alright, I’ll get to the airport now and talk to the people from the headquarters of Montagne Capitals. I’ll do my best to close this deal.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Jasper patted Jack’s shoulders.
Jack smiled and said, “I’m included in the vesting. The more the company earns, the more I’ll get, so this is not hard work at all.”
“Indeed,” Jasper said with a loud laugh.
Sometimes, actual benefits would be more trustworthy than relationships and feelings.
Colossal Investments was an investment company that was top in the world and could be said to be very efficient.
Jasper received a call from Celine that night.
An hour later, the sky turned black and Jasper once again came to Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
This time, Celine was standing at the door to wait for Jasper unlike in the morning.
“Mr. Laine, we meet again,” said Celine as she reached out her hand to shake Jasper’s.
Jasper smiled and shook Celine’s hand. He said, “Is there a conclusion?”
Celine nodded and said, “Actually, the higher-ups are moved by Mr. Laine’s suggestion, because to us, gratuitously making 150 million just by reselling our stocks and agreement would be like finding money on the streets.”
Jasper and Celine walked into the hotel shoulder to shoulder. After Jasper heard that, he laughed and said, “Under normal circumstances, this would be followed by bad news, Miss Maynard.”
Celine looked at Jasper in surprise. She said, “Mr. Laine, do you know how to read minds?”
“I’m just very observant,” Jasper smiled and said.
Celine pondered for a while and then said, “Just as you expected, Mr. Laine, Mr. William is very opinionated about this plan. He thought we should investigate this properly. Even if we’re violating an agreement, we can only talk about this after we let Sena violate it first.
“His reason being that as long as Sena can float successfully, then the profits Sena will bring to Colossal Investments might be much more than 150 million.”
Jasper nodded and said, “Things will be as he said. After all, if Sena floats successfully, the shares of 25% would definitely be more than 150 million. What do the higher-ups think then?”
Celine’s expression looked solemn. She looked at Jasper and said, “I’ve already convinced the higher-ups, but Mr. Laine, I want to know how confident you are.”
Jasper chuckled softly. “100%.”
At one side, Miss Stone had been silent the entire time. However, at this moment, she displayed a cold smirk. “Mr. Laine, don’t talk big. In order to side with you, Miss Maynard has had to bear a very huge risk.”
Jasper furrowed his brows and looked at Miss Stone. He said coldly, “There are only advantages and no disadvantages to this plan no matter for Colossal Investments or Miss Maynard. This is a plan that benefits three parties, including me.
“Miss Maynard needs a huge contribution to stabilize her position, and there can only be one voice in the Terra region. It would either be hers or William’s. Miss Maynard, if you’re worried that this plan isn’t reliable, then you can say no. I’m not begging you to work with me!”
