Excitement and glee flashed through Ian’s expression at Gale’s words.
“I know that you’ve already retired for many years, Mr. Hurlbutt, so I wouldn’t dare to request that you deal with this in person. Not to mention that Jasper’s just a mere junior. He isn’t worth you entering the business world again just to deal with him.
“Which is why I hope that you could ask a few of your students, my seniors, to spread the word so that they can support my next move.”
Ian’s understanding attitude slightly smoothened Gale’s expression.
After all, considering his age, Gale was no longer as enticed by the prospect of money or benefits after experiencing so much of life.
However, his reputation mattered a lot to him.
Otherwise, he would not change his mind just because he owed someone a favor.
At the same time, the last thing Gale wanted to happen was for Ian to threaten him to reenter the business world.
Otherwise, Gale would truly turn into a huge joke in the business world. An old retired man in his 80s reentering the business world just to deal with a young man in his 20s.
“What is your plan? Tell me what you have in mind first, then I will think about who I should help you contact,” Gale spoke calmly.
Ian took a deep breath to suppress the bubbling excitement within and replied, “Mr. Hurlbutt, I originally planned to use commercial tactics to win Jasper, but that method takes too long. When dealing with vile scum like Jasper, the only option is to match his vile tricks.
“I’ve thought about it, and what I need first is three billion Somer Dollars worth of funds. These funds will be used to attack Jasper.
“We have to account for Jasper’s father-in-law, Dawson Schuler, as well. According to what I know, Dawson’s Schuler Group is currently the largest supermarket chain group in the Southeast Province. Schuler Group has been expanding exponentially lately, and it has even acquired the largest supermarket business in the country.
“That means their supermarket company will currently be tight on cash flow. I remember that one of my senior classmates also works in the supermarket business. I can use the funds and the help of my senior to crush Schuler Group!
“Jasper will be even easier to deal with. With enough funds, I’ll be able to get rid of all his assets in less than half a month.
“After all, there’s too big a difference between his and Dawson’s foundations. He’s just a young brat in his early 20s. How could he have any backup plans or connections?”
Ian’s words were filled with hefty amounts of confidence and pride.
However, he kept the most important plan to himself.
With the funds and support from the businesspeople of Haddock, he would be able to use all these connections to dismantle Jasper’s capital chain in the shortest amount of time.
By then, both Dawson’s and Jasper’s businesses would suffer attacks from all sides. Their capital chain would rupture. After that, he would appear and forcefully acquire all the businesses and assets under their names at the cheapest price.
In other words, he was planning to make the Haddock Chamber of Commerce into his weapon and pierce Jasper with it in the most heinous and abominable way. Then, he would sit and reap the rewards of others’ hard work.
Ian did not feel an inch of guilt with his plan since he truly believed that he was entitled to these rewards and Jasper deserved these consequences.
Gale neither agreed nor disagreed after listening to Ian’s entire plan.
Gale did not know, nor did he care, who Jasper was.
All that mattered to him was to go through with whatever Ian had planned so that he could return the favor he owed the Hull family.
Gale did not care who would end up suffering losses in the process, let alone the fact that Ian’s plan was abominable and sinister.
“I will get you the three billion in funds you need and contact the people you require for this plan of yours.”
