“I’d suggest your bank be extremely cautious when it comes to giving them loans because this isn’t a small amount. You’ll get in trouble too if they end up being investigated and the loans lead back to you.”
Vita forced his erratically thumping heart to calm and replied, “And I was the one who managed this transaction too! Forget everything else you’ve done for me, Mr. Laine, but if what you say turns out to be true, you’ve just saved my life!”
This was an astronomical loan of two billion Somer Dollars.
The ICBS would track down those accountable if anything happened.
As the manager, he would be the first one to be caught and would have to take the brunt of the blame.
Vita instantly broke into a cold sweat. He was exceptionally relieved, and he was also immensely grateful to Jasper.
“If you’ll excuse me, Mr. Laine, I should report this to the higher-ups right now.”
Jasper smiled. “Don’t worry about it. We’re friends, aren’t we? There’s no way I’d just stand and watch you suffer a loss when I’ve already got wind of such news. Go do what you must, I have my work to do too.”
After professing his thanks, Vita rushed back into the branch building. Evidently, this matter would pan out in the shortest amount of time.
With the ICBS’ capabilities, it would not take too long before they finished investigating the situation. By then, the ICBS would be the first to cause Ian trouble.
It would save him some work.
Jasper was pleased with this surprise reward.
However, that pleasure did not last for too long.
It was because both Dawson and Jack Tanner called him one after another.
All of Schuler Group’s supermarkets within the Southeast Province were facing the attacks of their competitors at the same time.
In the supermarket industry, any competition was essentially done in the form of concession sales.
Concession sales were a normal activity among supermarkets.
However, it was very strange to see all supermarkets of different brands and sizes targeting Schuler Supermarkets at the same time with the same activity.
The attack had taken Schuler Group off guard, so the turnover for Schuler Supermarkets across the province was reduced by 50% in just one morning.
Such loss would only increase as time passed.
“It’s evident that the Hull family is using their link with Haddock Chamber of Commerce to oppress us. We should still be able to deal with this for the time being, but problems will arise with our capital chain in half a month at most.”
Dawson’s words had Jasper frowning slightly.
“Mr. Laine, the businesses our JW Capital invested in has been subjected to our competitors’ malicious tactics. Partners that have already signed contracts with us are breaching them and choosing to partner with other investment companies.
“While we won’t lose too much from this, our investment credit will suffer greatly should this carry on.
“Moreover, smaller partnership companies of ours have been discriminated against and it’s affecting their business. Any company is targeted the moment they’re related to JW in any way.”
Jack’s report made Jasper reestablish how powerful the businesspeople from Haddock could be as a whole. They were way beyond his imagination.
Not to mention that Jack was still in Swallow Capital to oversee Sena, and he was only managing JW Capital remotely.
Still, the fact that Jack had received notice of this meant that the investment company had met a serious issue.
