Walking out of Colossal Investments, Jasper then contacted Page and Brin.
Jasper intended to meet Morrison through the two of them, but he had not expected the duo to tell him that Morrison was waiting for Jasper at the hotel.
Without hesitation, Jasper returned to the hotel.
In the executive lounge of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Jasper met Morrison.
“You! You’re the one stealing what I have my eyes on, aren’t you?” Morrison sat on the sofa as he watched Jasper approach. The man showed no signs of getting up to greet Jasper but instead stared at him with an evaluative gaze that carried a hint of a sneer and disdain. The man’s tone was downright arrogant.
Jasper walked over to Morrison who was still sitting down and spoke, “Steal? I don’t think that’s the right word here. Google didn’t want to accept your offer so they came to me instead. That’s very normal.”
Morrison scoffed and played with the ring on his pinky as he spoke slowly, “You just got here, so perhaps there are things that you don’t quite know about.”
Morrison then looked up at Jasper sinisterly. “No one who’s tried to steal from me has ever ended well. No one can take what I want!”
“Your tone is misleading. And here I thought that you were Layman Investment Bank’s president, instead of an investment manager,” Jasper spoke calmly.
Morrison scoffed and spoke, “You mean that as an investment manager, I’m not qualified to offer such a high price? Fine then, I’ll use my own power. Let’s say, Quantum Funds?”
He then looked at Jasper intently before slowly speaking, “I’ve done some digging on you. You were the one who stopped Quantum Funds, weren’t you?
“I remember how my father told me that he met an interesting fellow when he came back. You must be this interesting fellow, then. Why? Haven’t you learned enough from my father’s harsh lesson?”
Jasper was not surprised that Morrison had found out about him, for most of what Jasper had done before was no longer a secret.
“You’ve got it wrong. First of all, when your father and I fought, I indeed lost but he did not win either. He and I could’ve earned even more from Harbor Stocks.
“It’s a shame that I’m just a man of Somer descent, so I lost a few billion to prevent your father from earning tens of billions of profits.”
At that, Jasper turned his palms over and spoke indifferently, “Do you still think I was taught a harsh lesson?”
Morrison’s gaze turned cold as he sneered at Jasper, saying, “You honestly think that you could’ve won my father if not for how unique the situation was?”
“What unique situation? He was just afraid that he’d cause Somerland’s government to take action. If he offended Somerland’s government, then it won’t just be a question of how much profit was made. The entirety of Quantum Funds would’ve met its end there.” Jasper exposed the reality of the situation and did not leave Morrison any ground to retreat.
Quantum Funds had taken a huge risk to attack Harbor Stocks.
It was very similar to the stock crisis during the year of the handover. The only difference was that in the crisis during the year of the handover, Quantum Funds had led the entire Western capital into the financial economy of all Southeast Terra countries.
Harbor City could not defend itself then so they sought help from Somerland’s government that then made a move.
That time, Jasper had merely contained the situation within Harbor City’s government.
As expected, Morrison’s gaze darkened as he sneered, “What’s the use of all this talk? You want to acquire Google? Well, then you can dream on if you think I’ll let you!”
