It could not be denied Anna had an extremely strong network and public relations skills.
The next morning, Jasper was on his way to meet Damond when he received an email from the office of Sentel Corporation’s president.
He had one hour to meet with the current president of Sentel Corporation, Emerson Lang, this afternoon.
Jasper’s brows, which had been tightly knotted the entire night, finally relaxed when he received the news.
As long as he was given the chance to converse with the higher-ups at Sentel Corporation, Jasper was confident he could persuade the other party.
After all, they were both businessmen. He knew what Sentel Corporation wanted.
Jasper met with Damond at the cafe below Sunrea Company.
Unlike the frail, old man he had seen in pictures from his past life, Damond was still a little chubby now. However, just like most people in the tech industry, the top of his head was balding.
“How do you do, President Golding? I’m Jasper Laine from Somerland.” Jasper took the initiative to introduce himself first.
In his past life, Jasper had spent a lot of effort on mastering Coreana’s national language just so he could secure himself a customer from Coreana. Thus, he was quite fluent in the language.
Halfway through the meal, Jasper retrieved a large present that had been prepared by Edmond.
“President Golding, I heard your daughter grew up in the Netherlands and has a particular affinity for the tulips there. I’ve specially prepared these purple tulips that usually only the royalty have access to. I hope both you and your daughter enjoy them.”
Damond happily took the present from him and said, “Mr. Laine, I must say that your present is extremely apt. I was just fretting about what I should give her for her 17th birthday party. Many thanks.”
Damond smiled as he invited Jasper to take a seat and asked, “Mr. Laine, I was wondering if you’re used to having a typical breakfast most people from Coreana have?”
“I’m the type of person to go with the flow, and I’m not picky with my food either,” Jasper said as he smiled.
Damond nodded in approval before he ordered two typical breakfast sets.
“I’ve been frequenting this cafe for several years. Their food is extremely tasty to me. I hope you’ll enjoy it too, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper felt his scalp grow numb as he stared at the various plates of pickles before him.
However, he seemed at ease as he chewed on the sour, pungent pickles. He looked completely comfortable with the food here.
Jasper’s attitude caused Damond to take a liking to him, and he said, “Coreana’s food is the best in the world. I’m extremely happy that a person of Somer descent like you would like it too, Mr. Laine. I had a former customer from Somerland who could not get used to the taste.”
Jasper said meaningfully, “But that customer from Somerland must have gotten what he wanted from you, right, President Golding?”
Damond took a sip of seafood broth and smiled as he said, “Mr. Laine, you must understand that I can’t reveal anything more to you due to the privacy policy.”
“I understand,” Jasper said and shrugged before immediately continuing, “Frankly, I was also planning on buying the patent to sell MP3 players in Somerland from you, President Golding. However, it seems that this is impossible now.”
Damond had a curious expression on his face as he said, “From what I understand, the economy in Somerland is still extremely stunted, and citizens would never be able to purchase an MP3 player with their current consumption level. Why the sudden fight to obtain a patent from me?”
“President Golding, you must understand that there will always be a way of earning money in this world. The only difference is that some can do it themselves, while others can only imitate,” Jasper said.
“Seems like you have a plan of your own, Mr. Laine,” Damond said.
