After Jasper hung up, Anna saw him slightly knitting his brows together as if he was thinking about some important things.
As such, Anna was sensible and did not speak as to not disturb his thoughts.
She just gently massaged Jasper’s temples while letting him feel as relaxed as he could.
“What do you think about the other three from the four rich families?”
Jasper suddenly opened his eyes and asked Anna.
Anna knitted her black eyebrows together. After a little thought, she said, “To be honest, the relationship between the four families is very complicated. Most of the time, they’re competitors. After all, Harbor City has limited space and there will be overlaps when it comes to their businesses.
“Among the four rich families, the Boyles are steadily deteriorating and their situation is very bad. As such, they’re also eager to find new investment opportunities. But they’re still making some profits because of the rebound in global trade in the shipbuilding industry this year.
“As for Joe, he’s known as Half-the-Harbor Langdon, so you can imagine how huge his wealth is. However, his strength is the weakest among the four rich families and his foundation is also very shallow. He started from nothing and he got to where he was right now all by himself. For a long time, people from Harbor City actually didn’t recognize him as one of the four rich men because of his lack of experience.
“However, I have a good feeling about him and my grandpa thinks so too. It’s because he’s different from the rest of them. He has an ambitious and ruthless spirit. He has a good eye. Plus, his ideas in business are not the same as the rest. They’re more radical and suitable for the current business model.
“He has another big advantage and that’s his age. He’s 20 years younger than my grandpa and the others. Plus, he’s not much older than my dad and that’s his biggest advantage.”
Jasper nodded appreciatively while he was listening to Anna’s words.
Sure enough, none of the four rich families was easy to handle. Even Anna’s vision was far beyond the one of an ordinary person because of the influence of her family’s environment and education.
In the future, it would take just ten years for Joe’s wealth to skyrocket. Once, he even got the highest status and position among the other three. This was the best proof.
At this time, it seemed that Joe, who had the weakest foundation, was actually the person with the most potential among the four rich families.
“What about Wallace?” Jasper asked.
Anna’s expression became very strange as she said, “To be honest, us juniors hardly ever come into contact with Wallace. We just know that he’s very low-profile, and he’s very powerful in the Golden Peninsula. He’s one of the heads of the rich families who conceals himself the most.
“Speaking of which, Grandpa and Wallace had beef for a few decades. It was the kind that can’t be resolved,” Anna said to Jasper with an extremely rare nosy expression on her face.
Jasper suddenly felt intrigued. “What happened?”
“My grandma… was Wallace’s first love. I heard from my dad that my grandpa strapped explosives on his body and snatched grandma away from Wallace during their engagement ceremony.”
Jasper’s eyes widened, and there was a look of surprise on his face.
This was the first time he has heard of such secrets after living two lives.
Now that he thought about it, Old Master Law had also been a ruthless man in his early years. He was born negligible. In that chaotic era, he once monopolized the firearms business in Harbor City, Auma City, and Nawait.
In the earliest days, this old man, who was already showing first signs of his outstanding talent, had done a lot of transporting supplies and munitions to the Mainland.
Otherwise, Old Master Law would not be so respected by the higher-ups in the Mainland.
That was why!
It was also because a word from Old Master Law was all it took for Auma City’s King of Gambling to no longer dare step foot into Harbor City for 20 whole years. He only dared to come after the old master died. This small detail was able to reflect the old master as a whole.
