“The total investment is 1.25 billion. I invested one billion and you 250 million, Henry.”
Jasper closed the computer, got up, and smiled at Henry. “Soon, this 250 million dollars will double up to at least 500 million.”
Henry asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to hammer the market? Why are you only buying today?”
Jasper said, “I initially planned to hammer the market, but I had a feeling that Erik won’t give up so easily, so I tried to buy when the market opened. However, I didn’t expect Erik to actually operate illegally and use the company’s stocks to hedge against me.
“In that case, I changed my plan as well. I’d buy as much as he has and the increase in the equity ratio will directly threaten the Turners’ power over Motley Media. If I can control Motley Media, that’s when the Turners will feel the pain.”
Henry came to a sudden realization and then smiled while saying, “I’ve collected all the evidence you want and will soon submit it to the Securities Regulatory Commission.”
Jasper chuckled and said, “It’s better to pass it directly to the senior executives of the Securities Regulatory Commission via special channels. Otherwise, the Turners might place obstacles in your way.”
“Don’t worry!”
Henry said in a vicious tone, “Now that we have conclusive evidence, I’ll make sure Erik suffers!”
After Henry went out to carry out the task, Anna walked into the room with her hands behind her back.
“Like what you told me to do, I’ve asked someone to send Erik’s compromising materials to the Turners. My dad will talk to the Turners later,” Anna said softly.
Jasper laughed and said, “The Turners won’t be able to solve this without paying the price this time.”
Suddenly, Anna’s phone rang. After connecting the call, she said a few words before passing the phone to Jasper.
Jasper answered the phone and could hear Zachary’s voice.
“It’s me, Jasp.”
Jasper said in a hurry, “How are you, Uncle Zachary?”
Zachary laughed and said, “I know all about the things you did. Good job! You’ve done really well.”
Jasper laughed and said, “I’m grateful that you’re not mad at me because I’ve brought trouble to the Laws, Uncle Zachary.”
Zachary said sternly, “What nonsense, we’re a team now! There’s no distinction between us. What do you mean you brought trouble to us? It’s good to have multiple friends in the business field, but if they offend us, then tolerating them constantly will only make others look down on us.”
Jasper replied, “That’s right.”
Zachary joked, saying, “Initially, I sent Henry to Swallow Capital to train his ability to work alone.
“I didn’t expect this kid to be so lucky to meet you there too. With your help, things have gone very smoothly, but the goal of training him hasn’t been achieved.”
Jasper said helplessly, “It’s just a coincidence. There will always be opportunities to train him.”
“I’ll take your word for it. I’ll leave this to you, then,” Zachary said.
Realizing that he had been tricked by Zachary, Jasper laughed and said, “You’re really cunning, Uncle Zachary. I have no choice but to agree, huh?”
Zachary laughed and said, “Let’s talk business. Two things: I just received news from Swallow Capital’s higher-ups. They’re really happy with the idea you proposed.
“This will greatly ease the process of us getting the project, and it’s all thanks to you. Anna told me that the design you gave is simply genius and impeccable.”
Jasper said humbly, “I was just lucky. Actually, I know nothing about designing, but the construction of Olympic venues is of great significance, so the higher-ups not only need to consider the creative part of it but also the culture and tradition. I paid more attention and spent more effort in this.”
Zachary laughed and said, “In any case, what you did is truly outstanding and is beyond the reach of ordinary people. You don’t have to be humble.”
As he spoke, Zachary switched the conversation around and said, “What is the outcome you’re hoping to see for the Turners?”
Jasper said mildly, “Erik beat my friend and his wife to the point that they’re now hospitalized. I hold a deep grudge against him because of this. I want him to pay. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
