People of Somer descent were really stupid people with a lot of money.
However, Conrad was extremely satisfied. After he rejected Damond’s invitation to stay back for dinner, he left the office with the patent licensing agreement.
In his car downstairs, Conrad flipped through the documents he was holding as he said calmly, “So, this is what Jasper Laine wanted so badly?”
A look of deep hatred flashed through Conrad’s eyes when Jasper’s name was mentioned.
His previous defeat had been so painful he would probably be depressed now if it were not for his strong will.
He had only managed to snap out of it in the shortest time possible when his father related to him a piece of news.
According to a reliable source, Jasper was just about to head to Coreana to negotiate for a patent for MP3 players.
That proved why Jasper had spent so much money taking away the right to represent the electronics industry from the Hanks family.
Admittedly, it might be to defeat the Hanks family. However, there were plenty of ways to defeat the Hanks family. There was no need to pick the most costly one.
More importantly, Jasper had even increased his investment in electronics after the Hanks family was defeated.
“JW Electronics spent 60 million dollars in a week to purchase four product lines. Preparations for the plant, equipment, and its employees are in full swing right now, and it’s all for this?”
Conrad smiled as he pinched the documents in his hands.
He would take everything Jasper wanted from him. He wondered what the expression on Jasper’s face would be like when he made the long trip here and realized that Conrad had been a step faster than him.
His assistant, who was sitting in front, turned and asked confusedly, “Mr. Monty, Damond Golding knows he’s committing daylight robbery on us. He sold his patent to other countries for half the price he offered us, and yet you still agreed to it?”
Conrad said calmly, “I don’t mind giving him a little more money. After all, these problems can all be solved using money.
“Jasper must think this product will do well if he’s this desperate to get his hands on the patent. The people I sent to research the market will return with results soon. I’m more than willing to dominate the market for MP3 players in the country before Jasper does.
“Even if we don’t make any money, this deal will be considered a success as long as we manage to make him feel pissed.”
The assistant shrugged and said, “Mr. Monty, in my opinion, you could just get someone to kill arrogant men like him.”
“This is why you can only work as my assistant and can’t hope to fly solo,” Conrad answered calmly.
Realizing that he had said something wrong, the assistant hurriedly changed the subject and said, “So are we going back to the hotel now?”
“We’re flying back home now. I want to finish assembling the production line before Jasper does. Let’s see how he can retaliate this time!” Conrad said coldly.
…
This was Jasper’s first time traveling overseas. In his past life, a colleague of his had a girlfriend who worked as a personal shopper. She frequently posted photos of her plane tickets and the products she had bought on Instagram.
Ever since then, Coreana had established itself as a modern, commercial country in Jasper’s mind.
In reality, Coreana did not disappoint Jasper as well.
Sela, Coreana’s financial hub, was an area that exuded strong business vibes. Tall buildings could be seen everywhere, and the faces of every person on the crowded streets were lit up by flashing neon lights. Everyone seemed to be hurrying as if they had countless matters to attend to.
The person whom the Law family had appointed to be in charge of the Sela office had come to pick them up from the airport. His name was Edmond Kelley.
After exchanging greetings, Jasper was sitting in the car and admiring the beauty of Sela when Edmond, who had just contacted one of his men through the phone, broke the news to Jasper with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
“Mr. Laine, we’ve contacted Damond Golding’s office and expressed our intent to visit as per your request. However, we’ve been informed that the patent for Somerland has already been purchased by someone else.”
The expression on Jasper’s face turned incredibly dark when he heard that.
