Twenty years into the future.
There would be three familiar Somer billionaires.
The country’s grandfather, who started with the small goal of one hundred million.
Wayne Marlon, who was disinterested in money.
Hudson Moore, who preached that the way to grow stronger was by topping up money.
The latter two were known as the country’s dads, and both their surnames started with the letter M.
Among the three, the country’s grandpa was a truly grandiose man.
Hudson was the most low-profile and vigorous.
While Wayne was a true miracle.
Wayne was a mere teacher who graduated from the teaching academy, yet he had managed to persuade 18 others to found a company with him.
The company was first founded in an apartment in a normal suburban district.
No one had expected that this 19-employee company with no money would one day prove Wayne’s predictions right, as it changed his countrymen’s lives.
Now that one thought about it, perhaps not even Wayne believed his prediction would come true.
Among all the billionaires, Wayne was certainly not the most capable person nor was he exceptional when it came to doing business. Even so, this man had a mouth that could obtain the impossible and a top-notch strategic vision that ordinary people could never hope to possess.
While Jasper was still trading mung bean futures and gathering his first bucket of cash, he had come up with a structure for his future business.
Once he was certain that he would rely on investing and holding companies instead of day-to-day trading, he established Hudson and Wayne as his main pillars of business and wealth.
Hudson fell under his influence a long while back, but he had been waiting for Wayne all this while.
Wayne and Hudson were completely different people, so Jasper had to deal with them differently.
He could take the initiative with Hudson since the man was rather introverted and passive, but Wayne was completely different. Jasper could not make the first with Wayne, so the only option was to wait for Wayne’s arrival.
Otherwise, Jasper would lose the initiative, which something extremely important in a business negotiation.
Thus, Jasper waited, like a patient hunter, up until that day.
Rushing back to Nauritus City under the glimmer of countless stars, Jasper arrived home at close to two a.m.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, for they knew they would meet the other tonight even without any prior contact.
With that, Jasper and Wayne met at the entrance to the pitch dark office.
“My apologies for making you wait, Mr. Marlon. I was still in Brac County when I was informed of your arrival. It took some time to rush over.”
Wayne was pleased with Jasper’s politeness.
“No, it’s my fault for coming unannounced. I’m sorry to bother you so late at night, Mr. Laine.”
The two shook hands. Jasper glanced at Wayne and suddenly laughed, realizing how the term ‘average-looking’ was a compliment to the man’s appearance.
For Jasper remembered how he used to be Wayne’s website’s diamond VIP his past life, and how he had spent a lot of money on it every year buying outfits for Penelope.
This was especially true during Valentine’s day, when he and the rest of the men around the country would curse Wayne out, only to weep silently as they checked out their wife’s shopping cart.
“Are you laughing at how ugly I am, Mr. Laine?”
Wayne was a man who knew how to read people, and the room. He could tell from Jasper’s age and attitude that Jasper was not one of those stern man that did not smile. Thus, Wayne immediately cracked a joke to get close to him.
