Walking out of Colossal Investments Headquarters, Jasper’s mind echoed with the words Paulson had said before he left.
“There are no emotions here in Wall Street, nor do we care about who’s right or wrong. The only thing that separates me from my enemy are benefits.
“Whoever brings me benefits is a friend, and everyone else is my enemy.”
Jasper admitted that Paulson’s words had affected him deeply.
This was the cruel reality of a capitalist market. Without experiencing it first-hand, one would never understand how bloody the rules of the games are.
Take his partnership with Colossal Investments for example. In a short conversation, they had already decided who would assume the position of the President of the Terra regional branch.
Should Jasper truly manage to reach an IPO of 120 US Dollars for Sena, then he would have successfully proven his benefits and worth to Colossal Investments.
Colossal Investments would only toss William out if a happy partnership with Jasper mattered more to them.
Firing the President of the Terra regional branch to gain Jasper’s trust and friendship was a very good bargain.
However, the premise was that Jasper had to prove his worth.
Sena’s share price would be the quickest and most direct way to do this.
If he failed, Colossal Investments would not pay Jasper or Celine another glance.
This had nothing to do with who was right or wrong. This was a relationship purely comprised solely of monetary benefits.
The person who brought the larger cut of profits would be their friend.
After all this, the banquet was over by the time Jasper returned to the hotel.
Jasper did not know where Henry had gone to. However, he was not worried that this top-notch Harbor City trust-fund child would get into any trouble while out on a date in New York, so Jasper let him do as he pleased.
After conversing with Jack and coming to the conclusion that it was extremely difficult to push Sena’s share price to 120 US Dollars, Celine arrived whilst seeking out Jasper just as they were about to formulate a plan.
Jasper returned to his room and poured Celine a cup of milk with practiced ease. Then he looked her over, “Not bad, very beautiful.”
Celine was in a white chiffon tight-fitting dress while an exquisite red belt wrapped around her waist. The simple outfit spoke volumes of the wearer’s excellent style.
Celine grabbed the milk and stared straight at Jasper.
“So, you went to look for Paulson?”
Jasper nodded.
“So you know everything now?”
Jasper continued to nod.
“And you also promised Paulson that the share price will reach 120 US Dollars?”
Jasper also nodded.
Celine suddenly spoke disappointedly, “Are you crazy? Do you know how difficult it is for a new stock to surpass a price of 120 US Dollars? No company’s ever produced such a result after the dot-com bubble burst.”
