“A bet?”
Damond looked like he had just heard a joke. “What are you going to bet?”
“It’s simple.”
Jasper gazed confidently at Damond and said, “Let’s make a bet since you think I can’t upgrade the MP3 player. If I manage to successfully upgrade the MP3 player, you’ll have to give me the authorization letter for free.”
“What if you fail?” Damond was now interested as he asked.
“If I fail…” Jasper shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I’ll give you two billion US dollars.”
“You Somerland people are really sly.”
When Damond heard what Jasper said, he was obviously unhappy but still smiled coldly at Jasper with an expression that screamed ‘I’ve already seen through your tricks!’
Jasper narrowed his eyes as he gazed at Damon, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, Damond soon spoke again, “We haven’t agreed on a time. Will I have to spend the next ten years waiting for you if you take ten years to do it? Thus, I’ll only give you three months.”
Damond glanced confidently at Jasper. He was convinced Jasper would never dare agree to such harsh terms.
In his opinion, the technology used in MP3 players might have room for improvement, but there was no way anything could be accomplished in three months.
How long did it take him to create the MP3 player from nothing?
Two whole years!
One also had to put in mind that he was one of Coreana’s best experts in the tech industry.
In Damon’s opinion, Somerland was a poor, backward place that would never be able to produce a talent half as talented as he was.
They might require half a year to just understand the technology used in his MP3 players.
Thus, how was it possible that Jasper could upgrade it in three months?
However, it was beyond his expectation that Jasper did not have an indignant expression on his face and even breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.
“Alright.”
Jasper’s determined one-word answer immediately caused Damond to feel like he had walked straight into Jasper’s trap.
Damond tried his best to recall every detail in the conversation they just had. The second he realized that it really was a trap, he would immediately go back on his promise. After all, nothing had been written down on paper yet.
However, the more he thought about it, the more Damond realized this deal would only bring him benefits. He had a clear advantage.
Glancing suspiciously at Jasper, Damond laughed coldly and said, “You’d best think it through. You won’t be able to pull out halfway once the bet is made!”
Jasper immediately beckoned for a waiter to hand them a sheet of paper and a pen. The pen scratched across the paper as he wrote down the details of their bet. Handing the paper to Damon, he said, “Please sign it if you don’t have any questions.”
Damond frowned as he took the agreement and realized it had been phrased carefully. There were no loopholes that could be found.
That made Damond think of Jasper as a proud fool who was practically dumping money at his doorstep.
“You people of Somer descent are really rich.”
After saying that one sentence with a meaningful look on his face, Damond spun his pen and signed his name on the contract.
“You can use my patent now that this agreement exists. I’ll get someone to send over the relevant information this afternoon. However, you must remember that you’ll have to pay me two billion US dollars if you fail to upgrade the MP3 player within three months.”
