“If you’re doubting the abilities of my team, in which there are three chief appraisers with at least 20 years of experience under their belts, you may file a complaint to internal affairs and request for a reassessment saying you do not trust the results of this report. But don’t bring me into this,” Celine said coldly.
Miss Stone said hurriedly, “Miss Maynard, I didn’t mean it that way.”
“I know you didn’t mean it that way.” Celine sighed. “To be honest, I was shocked too.”
Compared to Miss Stone, Celine had even more things on her mind.
Sena was just one of the many companies Jasper had control over. The other ones did not even need mentioning.
His real estate company was about to begin work constructing the tallest skyscraper in the world.
Terizone Inc held rights to the number one instant messaging software, a blue ocean market anyone would drool over. Although it was still difficult to make profits from it now, Celine had a feeling it would not pose a problem to Jasper.
According to Celine’s informants, Jasper seemed to be supporting Terizone in creating an online payment system. Celine’s instincts told her the words ‘online payment’ would be a mighty thing that would shock everyone.
Even his newly established electronics company had managed to dominate 80% of Somerland’s domestic marketplace by upgrading the MP3 to a MP4. Apparently, several foreign merchants had gotten in touch with the electronics company in hopes they could sell the product overseas.
This MP4 product, which was developed based on patented MP3 technology, had attracted the attention of various western capitalists.
Who would have thought a tiny box could bring Jasper earnings of a million Somer Dollars a day?
This was when the market had not been fully utilized yet. If the product were sold overseas and brought about a ripple effect in the future, Jasper’s electronics company was well on the way to having a net worth of at least three billion dollars!
Moreover, both the electronics company and Somerland’s officials were highly supportive of the idea of selling the product overseas.
After all, it would benefit both the country and its people when a local product was exported overseas.
All these had been accomplished by Jasper alone.
If that was the case, how much money was Jasper’s parent company worth?
This was the first time Celine realized she did not dare to even imagine the number.
With a jolt, she realized that both her past self and Colossal Investments had underestimated Jasper’s power.
While no one was paying any attention, a tiny business group rooted in Somerland had quietly taken form and would soon expand to become a dominant force in the marketplace. Perhaps… it would even become a financial group in the future!
Could financial groups be formed in Somerland?
Celine shook her head and dispelled all her jumbled thoughts from her mind as she said to Miss Stone, “Contact the headquarters through the encrypted channel. I want to speak directly to President Paulson.”
Miss Stone said hesitantly, “But Miss Maynard, if you take the time difference into account, the president might have just woken up…”
“Yvonne Stone.” Celine’s eyes glinted coldly as she stared at Miss Stone and called her by her full name.
“You seem to be getting more and more ideas lately. Do you think you’re in charge of me now?”
“I’ll have it done right now!” Surprised, Miss Stone hurried off to fulfill Celine’s orders.
The call went through a short while later. Celine entered the study to talk to Paulson, the president and chief executive officer of Colossal Investments. Meanwhile, Miss Stone left the study.
Even as a personal secretary, she had no right to listen to a conversation of such high importance.
As Yvonne left the study, she caught sight of the laptop that had not been turned off yet. The report caused a look of jealousy and hatred to appear in her eyes.
Jasper’s appearance had caused Celine to dislike her more and more. Before this, they had a pretty good relationship.
However, Yvonne could now sense that Celine was becoming less trusting of her and was maybe even dissatisfied with her.
It was all Jasper’s fault!
A resentful look clouded over Yvonne’s eyes as she thought of that. After secretly taking two photos of the report with her phone, she hurried into her room and dialed a number.
