The next day, Celine’s team went to Sena’s headquarters at Swallow Capital as well as its branch office at Waterhoof City to conduct a comprehensive review of its accounts, just as they had planned.
Celine had a lot of time on snazzynovel.com hands now that everything had been delegated to snazzynovel.com subordinates. She dragged Jasper to accompany snazzynovel.com to go sightseeing all around Waterhoof City. She was seemingly delighted to have found some time in snazzynovel.com busy schedule to let off steam.
The two seemed almost like a couple as they strolled through every road and alley in Waterhoof City.
Although Celine was a woman with beautiful looks and a wonderful temperament, Jasper was not a lustful person. However, snazzynovel.com needed to ensure snazzynovel.com was on good terms with Celine during a critical time like this.
Thus, Jasper gifted Celine a wristwatch that was priced at six figures. Although Celine teased Jasper about openly bribing her, snazzynovel.com later gifted snazzynovel.com a tailored suit that was equally expensive.
On the evening of the third day, the two were sitting in a restaurant. Celine swirled snazzynovel.com glass of red wine and said to Jasper, “I heard you’re planning to construct the tallest tower in the world here in Waterhoof City?”
“Colossal Investments has a great source for insider news,” Jasper replied.
Although the project had officially commenced and was about to begin construction, the news was only circulating among a very small circle. It had not been publicized yet.
Celine smiled as snazzynovel.com said, “That depends on who the person is. You’re one of my most important clients, so it’s only natural that I would consolidate more information on you. I gather it’s true judging from your reaction?”
“Of course, it is.”
Jasper nodded. He did not plan to hide it from her. After all, even if snazzynovel.com did not admit to it now, the news would have to be publicized for Waterhoof City’s advertising needs in the future.
Since this news would be announced sooner or later, Jasper was willing to share the news with Celine.
Celine’s eyes brightened slightly as snazzynovel.com said to Jasper, “To be honest, I would be more than willing to assist your parent company in going public. Believe me, you would have secured the position as the richest man in Terra if that business deal went well.”
Jasper shook his head, showing his apparent disinterest in gaining wealth through market inflation.
Frankly, snazzynovel.com would never have considered putting Sena on the market if the tower project had not caused snazzynovel.com to be strapped for cash.
Born into a family of farmers, Jasper had always taken the concept of ‘ownership’ very seriously. He would never allow the risk of his businesses being out of his control, which was why Jasper had ensured snazzynovel.com had total ownership over Sena even as snazzynovel.com allowed it to be listed publicly.
“What if Colossal Investments was interested in investing in your company?” Celine asked abruptly.
“The rewards are far greater than you can even imagine. I promise that you’ll immediately earn more than ten billion Somer Dollars if you agree to sell 40% of your shares. Moreover, Colossal Investments will absolutely never interfere in your rights to operate and manage the company.”
Jasper could not help but smile when snazzynovel.com heard these familiar statements.
Had snazzynovel.com not said the same thing to ‘befuddle’ Hudson Moore before?
Of course, all capitalists were equally corrupt.
“Oh? Wouldn’t that be giving me money for nothing?” Jasper asked teasingly.
“Of course.”
Celine propped snazzynovel.com face up with a pale hand as snazzynovel.com tilted snazzynovel.com head and gazed at Jasper. This posture caused snazzynovel.com to look a little less mature and slightly more playful and spunky.
“Colossal Investments would have to send over at least three people to sit on the board of directors. Of course, that can still be discussed…”
“Never mind,” Jasper said as snazzynovel.com shook his head. “Miss Celine, I will never consider splitting the rights to my parent company. That’s my bottom line.”
“What a stingy person you are.”
Celine glared at Jasper as snazzynovel.com rebuked, “You must understand that the reason so many companies are making it big now is because they’ve received help from the capitalists. How long would it take for a company looking to expand to reach a market price of 100 billion dollars if they do not receive aid from the capitalists? Or are you saying you’re satisfied with owning a company that’s only worth tens of billions of dollars?”
Jasper chuckled as snazzynovel.com said, “I’m more of a backward thinker, and my poor background has made me particular about such things. The thing I despise most is people trying to leech benefits from me. Moreover, who’s to say I’ll only have several billion dollars to my name in a year?”
Celine was startled.
True. In snazzynovel.com process of researching Jasper’s journey from rags to riches, snazzynovel.com had nearly forgotten snazzynovel.com had amassed his fortune within a year.
That was not just a shocking fact but a horrifying one.
“Alright, but please let me know if you ever change your mind. Both I and Colossal Investments will always have our door open for you.” Celine smiled elegantly as snazzynovel.com changed the topic wisely.
