An odd expression formed on Jasper’s face after he registered her words.
No matter how he interpreted her words, they still sounded extremely misleading.
However, Jasper did not spend too much time pondering it as he swiftly signed his name on the contract. After that, he pulled out a check for 10 million US dollars and handed it to Sylphie.
“Thank you for your help, Ms. Lang. This deal wouldn’t have been possible without you,” Jasper said sincerely.
Without even looking at the check, Sylphie handed the folder containing the patent documents over to Jasper. “It’s alright, I just did a small favor for Anna,” she said with a cheery smile.
“How do you know Anna?”
“It was by sheer coincidence,” Jasper said as he explained to Sylphie about how he had gotten to know Anna.
“You’re quite a bold one. Back then, Anna’s father definitely wouldn’t pay any attention to you. How dare you brag about yourself in front of him?” Sylphie said, a hint of interest in her voice.
“There’s nothing fundamentally different about the two of us. Firstly, we’re both humans. Secondly, we’re both businessmen. He’s undoubtedly a prominent businessman whereas I can only be considered a small businessman, however, this doesn’t mean that I can’t come up with something that he needs.
“In fact, we’re both working together happily now. We both take what we need, and we mutually benefit from our collaborative work,” Jasper said with a smile.
Sylphie nodded in an understanding manner. “You’re different from the others. You carry yourself with confidence, and this gives you a type of charisma that can’t be found in ordinary people,” she said.
“Is that a compliment?” Jasper asked.
“Of course,” Sylphie said with a faint smile.
Jasper bid Sylphie farewell after chatting with her for around half an hour. It was almost time for them to get off work.
Sylphie did not ask him to stay either. She simply watched him leave after they exchanged their contact numbers.
After Jasper left, Sylphie took out her phone and made a call.
“Anna Law, I met your man today.”
“I knew you couldn’t resist. How is he? He’s not bad, right?” Anna’s voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
Leaning comfortably on the chair, Sylphie casually played with the check in her hand. She suddenly chuckled after looking at the intricate scrawl of Jasper’s signature on the check.
“Why are you laughing?” Anna asked curiously.
“Its’ nothing. I just thought of something interesting.”
Anna immediately became alert. “I took a fancy to him first, so don’t snatch him from me. I already have a headache right now,” she said.
“Oh, is the high and mighty Ms. Law afraid that someone will steal her man? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in men or women. I just want to focus on my career.”
…
After leaving Sentel Corporation, Jasper went to look for Damond Golding once again. He then obtained the authorization certificate for the patent upgrade under Damond’s devious gaze.
Although there were several obstacles, everything eventually ended smoothly.
Jasper knew that it was time to return to Somerland as he held the two patent documents in his hands.
His trip to Coreana could be considered a complete success.
After returning to the hotel, Jasper and Jack both filed into the room at the same time.
“How were things today, Jack?”
Looking at the dark expression on Jack’s face, Jasper knew that things must not have gone very smoothly.
However, Jasper had not expected him to get everything done on the first try either. Purchasing a game was different from purchasing a patent, as it involved many more moving parts. This was also the reason why Jasper had allocated this task to Jack.
In the future, Sena’s main focus would be online gaming. Thus, Jack had to begin dabbling in this industry as soon as possible.
Jack let out a tired hum in response. He then sighed deeply. “After these Coreanans found out that I was from Somerland, they acted beyond haughtily. They had no sincere intention to discuss business with me. Besides suggesting a colossal price, they also proposed a whole bunch of harsh requirements,” he grumbled.
“I told them that they were being insincere. Guess what they told me in response?”
“They told me that Somerland is a poor and backward country. Businessmen from Somerland are mostly scammers, and that we can’t even afford their games.”
Jack tugged on the tie wrapped around his collar in rage. “These Coreanans are really mad,” he remarked.
Jasper laughed as he patted Jack’s shoulder. “That’s normal. Plenty of people from overseas still think that we are a backward and undeveloped country. Their impression of us will gradually change over time,” he said.
“People will only look upon you with reverence after you grow stronger. Discrimination like this will change in the future.”
Jack continued to complain distastefully, “I’ve never even been subject to such obvious discrimination during my time at Weresoft. What should we do now, Mr. Laine? Should I go there again tomorrow?”
“You need to go there again,” Jasper said, nodding his head with determination.
“The more they look down upon us, the more determined we must be to accomplish our goals. With regards to their harsh requirements, agree to them if they aren’t too unreasonable. One day, they will realize how powerful we are.”
Jack nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll approach them again tomorrow. However, today hasn’t been completely fruitless either. At the very least, they seem to have the intention of selling the game. They’re just yet to find a suitable buyer.”
““If you manage to buy the game, don’t forget about the agency rights as the agency rights are still firmly in their hands. This means we will be subject to their control regarding the production of future game version updates. Most importantly, they will definitely try to compete with us for it after they witness the huge profitability within Somerland.
“Therefore, be sure to purchase this game in its entirety. This is an important task, and it must be handled properly. I can only leave it to you.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. I will definitely complete this task,” Jack reaffirmed solemnly in response to hearing Jasper’s trust in him.
“That’s good. I’ll be returning to Somerland tomorrow. Stay here and deal with this matter, and come back after the deal has been completed,” Jasper said.
…
Jasper’s current main priority was to finalize the MP3 production line, and then start the production and sales in Somerland.
After handing all the remaining tasks to Jack, Jasper took a flight back to Somerland in the afternoon of the next day.
While Jasper boarded the plane, Jonathan Lang walked out of the company despondently.
Half an hour earlier, he had received a notification from the company. He had been relieved from his position as the branch president, and would be transferred to another company as a sales manager.
The drastic demotion in his career caused his resentment toward Jasper to grow even stronger.
As soon as Jonathan got in the car and left the company, he received a phone call from one of his close associates.
“Boss, I found out that Jasper Laine has already took a plane back to Somerland. I’ve also found all the information regarding his company over there. Shall I send it to you later?”
Jonathan’s expression grew lighter after receiving the news. “Send it to me. Heh, does he think that I won’t be able to do anything to him after he goes back to Somerland? There are plenty of people in that country who want to get on my good side. I can put an end to him by conspiring with the people there!”
