When Jasper entered the banquet hall, his appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Under the propaganda deemed necessary by Colossal Investments, Jasper’s identity as the largest private beneficiary from the crude oil futures market last year had been disclosed to the public.
Another important identity of his, the organizer of the Harbor City share market rescue plan, had been revealed as well.
With these achievements associated with him, Jasper attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, which was full of elites from Wall Street.
Everyone looked at this young man from Somerland with a curious and inquiring gaze. They wanted to see exactly what kind of extraordinary man was capable of making such an awe-inspiring move in the crude oil futures market.
“Friends, look who’s here!”
Jameson announced to everyone with a loud laugh as he wrapped an arm around Jasper’s shoulders passionately.
“This is Mr. Laine, whom I’ve told all of you about. He’s from the ancient and mysterious Somerland.
“Just like that great country, he is full of extraordinary power. During the crude oil futures incident some time ago, he snatched a bunch of coveted benefits from the hands of governments and capital predators.
“Of course, there’s the shocking Harbor City share market rescue plan as well. Mr. Laine, who is right beside me, initiated the entire plan. I believe everyone here is familiar with that wonderful game of capital, right?”
Shoved under the spotlight, Jasper responded to everyone’s curious gazes with a wide grin on his face.
Meanwhile, Jack Tanner, Henry Law, and the others stared at him with bitter smiles on their faces.
“The West really favors young geniuses. Old men like us don’t catch their attention,” Jack joked.
Henry was slightly envious as well. “When can I ever be that awesome?” He asked.
Jasper greeted the elites of Wall Street in fluent English.
Although these people were not the top dogs on Wall Street, they were not random nobodies either. Otherwise, they would not have been invited to this banquet.
In a larger sense, they were the backbone of Wall Street.
Because of this, Jasper naturally did not mind forging an amicable relationship with them.
In the future, he would be participating in the international market. Thus, it was possible that one of these people will be of great use to him in the future.
Not long after, Jameson came over with a blonde middle-aged man.
“Mr. Laine, let me introduce you to this man. He’s one of the most prominent figures within the real estate industry in the United States. He really admires your ability and wishes to get to know you.”
As soon as Jameson finished speaking, Jasper turned around to look at the said man. His gaze instantly wavered once he set his eyes upon him.
He would not have been that shocked if even Winston Benett or Charles Granger had appeared before him.
However, the person before him had an insanely powerful identity.
He was the future president of the United States.
Donnie Todd.
He was from the second generation of an extremely rich family in the United States. After taking over the family business, he gradually flourished and became one of the most powerful real estate developers in the United States.
As a free-spirited man, he changed his focus to politics after engaging in business of the highest order… He then rose to the absolute top once he got into politics.
It was simply incredible.
However, all of this would take place in the future. As things stood, he was still a real estate tycoon in the United States right now. He did not have any other special identities.
Jasper did not expect Donnie Todd to appear at this banquet.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Laine. I see a reflection of my younger self in you. You’re as capable and determined as I was back then.”
Todd said in his characteristic voice that resembled a drake.
Just like his personality, he was a detached and conceited man. He never failed to glorify himself even when others were already showering him with praise.
