“Am I crazy?” Jasper’s eyes widened as he looked at Celine and spoke, “You’re the crazy one here. Why didn’t you tell me anything?”
Celine lifted her hand to tuck the stray wisps of hair behind her ear as she replied, “It’s my business. Why do I have to tell you what I do?”
Jasper replied calmly. “In that case, my promise with Paulson is also my business, and I don’t have to explain it to you, yes?”
“You!” Celine’s eyes widened as she glared at him, infuriated by Jasper’s words.
The next second, however, the woman’s eyes shifted and she smiled secretly, “You’re actually planning to provide for me? Why else would you go through all that just to get me out of the investigation?”
“I just don’t want you to get involved in other matters because of me, especially when I’m certain that nothing is going on between us. I don’t make it a habit to sit and watch as someone else gets blamed for something they didn’t do.”
“Moreover, if you can tell Colossal Investment’s board of directors that you’ll resign and pay thrice the value of the commission if Sena doesn’t meet an IPO price of 100 US Dollars, then what’s stopping me from raising it to 120 US Dollars?”
Jasper looked at Celine seriously and spoke, “You have to trust me and Sena. 100 US Dollars to 120 US Dollars isn’t that big of a difference.”
“In that case, what are you planning on doing next?” Celine asked.
“Advertise it, what else? I have to try and tell all the investors within the United States that Sena is a share that they will definitely profit from. If I don’t you’ll lose your job, and I’ll lose both my reputation and my dignity,” Jasper spoke with a shrug.
Celine furrowed her brows as the cheerful look that she always wore vanished.
She was thinking of a plan that would greatly raise Sena’s share prices.
“To be honest, it’s all the same for me regardless of if this promise existed or not,” Jasper looked at Celine as he spoke.
“The higher Sena’s share price, the more I benefit. The only difference is that I didn’t have a specific target before, but I have one now. Anything less than 120 US Dollars is a failure, so even without this deal, my goal will still be to bring Sena up as much as I can.’
“But this target is too unattainable.” Celine frowned.
“Not really,” Jasper chuckled, “I’ll just have to spend a bit of money. We’ll do advertisements in television stations throughout the United States, then interview a few stock market experts and advertise it in financial magazines. What we need to do is sweep this information through the United States as fast as possible.
“All United States investors will be able to do is see and hear of Sena for the next couple of days.
“Couple this with the titles Sena holds, ‘the first Somerland internet company that’ll officially registered in the Nasdaq’, and ‘the first truly profitable internet company in the world’. What we need to do is tell the investors that a great way to earn money is standing right before their eyes.”
Celine’s expression lightened slightly at Jasper’s words.
She sighed and spoke, “That’s the only thing we can do now anyway. I’ll think of another plan. I do have some contacts here in the United States.”
“Thank you, then,” Jasper spoke.
Both he and Sena were considered foreigners here in the United States. Forget contacts, they would not be able to get anywhere if not for Colossal Investments.
Thus, these were things that only Celine could do.
The corner of Celine’s lips lifted upward, and a light and familiar smile graced her lips. “Paulson told me that you threatened the entirety of Colossal Investments for me. Do you know what you’re doing? That’s a financial behemoth we’re talking about here. The best investment company in the world. How could you just threaten them?”
“And yet, reality shows that it still works on them.” Jasper smiled.
“You also claimed, very dominantly, that you’d open a bank for me to work in if I resigned from Colossal?” Celine leaned over, with her four limbs on the couch as she pushed her small face right in front of Jasper’s.
Because of her position, Jasper only needed to tilt his head and he would see her collar exposed before his eyes.
