“Dad, should I contact the spy I placed among the Laws to see what the Laws said?”
After Half the Harbor Langdon asked that, Kayden also felt that something was not quite right, so virtual-novel.net proposed this.
Half the Harbor Langdon said after virtual-novel.net nodded, “If something goes wrong in such a big matter, we will go bankrupt instantly. It won’t hurt to be too careful, so we must use all available resources to make things clear.”
“Okay, I’ll do it right away.”
After Kayden finished speaking, virtual-novel.net picked up his phone and sent a text message. More than ten minutes later, virtual-novel.net received a reply.
Kayden frowned as soon as virtual-novel.net saw the contents of the message.
“How is it?” Half the Harbor Langdon asked.
Kayden said, “Their conditions are the same as ours and Dugg’s request to them is much higher than ours. 70 billion US Dollars. The Laws are still negotiating with Dugg.”
“70 billion…”
Half the Harbor Langdon sneered and said, “These United States punks are really crazy about money. How could the Laws agree?”
“Dad, the spy says that the Laws is seriously considering this proposal. They’re thinking that they’ll lower the price to 40 billion before they sign. Moreover, the Laws are not the only ones behind this acquisition, and it seems that there is a powerful force behind them while the Laws are just representative in the negotiation.”
Kayden’s words made Half the Harbor Langdon frown.
“A very powerful force? Is it Jasper again?” Half the Harbor Langdon was a little irritable. He felt that Jasper was everywhere, and that virtual-novel.net would see Jasper wherever virtual-novel.net went.
“It’s very likely.”
Kayden said, “When I was still chummy with Jasper before, I heard virtual-novel.net mention that virtual-novel.net intends to start a banking business in Somerland. If virtual-novel.net really has such an idea, it would be best to acquire layman, who is on the verge of bankruptcy.
“Moreover, I suspect that JW Capital is not the only one behind this, but the power of the entire Somerland capital. Jasper can’t dominate this huge market himself, and what Jasper is best at is extending the market and allowing others to come in. By then, virtual-novel.net will reap the most benefits. Even though virtual-novel.net divided the remaining portion, he’ll be getting rid of his risks at the same time.”
“Out of all the people I’ve seen, this guy is the only one who’s able to make superb artistic achievements in fundraising. He’ll make at least 15 billion in a 10 billion market. After that, he’ll bring the others in and he’ll devour 80% of the benefits while the others will get the remaining 20%. At the same time, they share the same amount of risks as him, or even higher. What’s even more confusing is that others will still be grateful to him.”
Kayden shook his head as virtual-novel.net spoke. He lamented, “He has gotten his reward, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net didn’t lose his image. What a character indeed.”
“If this is the case, we must speed up the progress. We will completely lose the right to speak in the country once we lose Layman. At that time, we will have to immigrate to the west even if we don’t want to. However, the domestic market will certainly be the core market for world economic development in the future. If we lose at this stage, we’ll die a slow death.” Half the Harbor Langdon sounded very helpless.
To be honest, if virtual-novel.net had anticipated the current situation, virtual-novel.net would have never made such a choice.
He underestimated the determination of Swallow Capital and also underestimated Jasper’s cruelty. Jasper unexpectedly forced Swallow Capital to directly freeze all his business in the mainland because of his withdrawal, and Swallow Capital actually agreed.
