After saying goodbye to John, Jasper immediately traveled to Sheraton Hotel in Nauritus City.
The supervisors of two separate state-owned enterprises had long since been waiting for him.
After a mandatory round of introductions, Jasper smiled at the two blushing and grinning supervisors as he said, “Guys, we’ll be going through with the normal process of signing the contracts tomorrow, but don’t forget our promise to each other.
“I’ll first represent the new company in signing the contract with you tomorrow, but we’ll also sign a memorandum in private. It’s both to help me and prevent you guys from getting tricked, which is why we must ensure nothing happens!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. We would have walked right into the trap if you hadn’t reminded us. Who would have thought that Monty Group, a company that’s somewhat well known in the country, would do something like this?
“We won’t let him get what he wants now that we’re working together!”
One of the supervisors thumped his chest as he spoke.
They would not be idiots seeing as they were able to climb up to their current positions. They were actually much smarter than they seemed.
The first time Jasper met with them, he had skipped all niceties and told them straight to their faces that Conrad’s mine was a fraud. Except for the surface layer, the ground underneath was completely devoid of any minerals.
The two men immediately believed what Jasper said when he procured the relevant customs declaration forms from Harbor City.
While in shock, the two were also gritting their teeth with hatred for Conrad.
They would have been held responsible if they fell for his tricks and caused their enterprises to suffer major losses. If that were the case, they would have reached the end of their careers.
To senior executives at state-owned enterprises like them, ending their careers was basically ending their lives.
Jasper did not even need to say much about a grudge like this before they immediately agreed to assist him.
Thus, Jasper’s plans were born.
He would agree to Conrad’s request to collaborate and would use the shell corporation he had registered to join shares with Conrad and act as the legal representative for the new company.
Then, he would secure the money Conrad got from the loan using the company’s bank account and forbid Conrad from taking a single cent of it.
This time, he had formed a deal with the two supervisors from the state-owned enterprises. On the surface, they were signing an acquisition agreement, but they would also secretly sign a memorandum that denied the fact that the three of them had any responsibility to withhold in this situation. When things finally went wrong, Conrad would be the one to shoulder all the responsibility.
Jasper had managed to poke holes in Conrad’s elaborate scheme using these three steps, and he was confident he could let Conrad have a taste of his own medicine.
It was already past midnight when Jasper was done doing a second run-through of what would happen tomorrow with the supervisors. He then returned home.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Jasper and Wendy set out to the venue where the contract would be signed.
Jasper had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Malcolm.
The procedures to set up the shell corporation had been completed.
Upon receiving that piece of news, Jasper heaved a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
“Has it been done?” Wendy asked when she saw Jasper hang up the phone with a relaxed expression on his face.
Smiling, Jasper nodded and said, “Now all we have to do is head over there and sign the contract.”
The multipurpose hall in Sheraton Hotel had been furnished to function as a small-scale launch event today.
[Cloud Rider Mining Company has been officially established!]
[Conrad Monty has made a private investment of 3 billion dollars, while Jasper Laine has invested 2.3 billion dollars under his newly registered foreign company, Tenra Corporations!]
[The company boasts a joint registered capital of 5.3 billion Somer Dollars and will operate mainly in the mining industry.]
[Cloud Rider Mining Company has already signed a sales contract with two of the five largest mining companies in the country on the day it was established. They have promised to provide no less than 700,000 tonnes of quality raw aluminum ore every year to both companies!]
[The Monty family has discovered a brand new mine, but instead of excavating it themselves, they have chosen to collaborate with their biggest enemy, Jasper Laine!]
[Could it be that, as Monty Group had put it, they lack the necessary funds to excavate the mine or because the Monty family is also attempting to extend an olive branch to the newly emerging power in Southeast Province, Jasper Laine?]
[No matter what, this company has been destined to shine since the day it was established. It’s full of secrets and seems to be determining the fate of Southeast Province.]
Piece after piece of news was spread out from the venue of the launch event, and they quickly became the topic of discussion for every single family in Southeast Province.
After Jasper stamped his seals as the legal representative of the new company, he stood and exchanged the contracts with the two supervisors from the state-owned enterprises. Lights flashed as the contract officially took on legal validity.
“Mr. Laine, we hope this will be a good collaboration.”
The two supervisors of the state-owned enterprises roared with laughter as they spoke meaningfully to Jasper.
Jasper laughed lightly and said, “That’s a must. We’ll definitely enjoy working together.”
The three exchanged looks and smiled. Then, they went along with the reporters’ wishes and turned to look at the cameras, giving them more time to take pictures.
