Running a company took profound knowledge. One could not always act rashly or keep pandering to the consumers.
Jasper knew this very well.
Jasper remembered that at this meeting, virtual-novel.net also mentioned the need to strengthen the training for employees’ abilities and qualities, as well as introduce some stricter assessment methods. To put it bluntly, his capitalistic nature was also exposed at this time, but the video did not mention it.
After virtual-novel.net looked at this webpage again, virtual-novel.net realized that the truth had been revealed.
This was the news channel on Terizone‘s official website. It would be impossible for them to talk bad about their big boss.
Besides this, Terizone had purposely emphasized Jasper complimenting Terizone and criticizing Abbylon in the video.
Although the two companies did not overlap in business, everyone wanted to be the number one in the field of the Internet within JW, so the fight between Hudson and Wayne had never stopped. The employees of the two companies even often ridiculed each other and looked down upon each other.
Abbylon called Terizone a group of coders who only created chat windows. Terizone called Abbylon a bunch of street vendors selling goods.
In short, it was a love-hate relationship.
On the contrary, Sena understood that they were in the gaming industry under Jack’s leadership. They were making money, but at the same time, they knew they were destined to not be number one. Hence, they decided to make a fortune quietly so that was why they were the safest.
Jasper knew this but virtual-novel.net did not care. If everyone under virtual-novel.net was getting along well, virtual-novel.net would become agitated as their boss.
“Look at this.”
Wendy took out a magazine mysteriously…
“The special from Times Magazine is out?”
Jasper took the magazine over to have a look. Then, virtual-novel.net beamed and said, “Not bad, not bad. This picture looks good. It shows my handsomeness in great detail.”
“Not only that, a lot of the netizens are calling you the people’s husband now!” Wendy mocked.
Jasper almost vomited blood.
He never expected that virtual-novel.net would snatch the title belonging to Cody Whorton ten years later. However, virtual-novel.net fitted this title much better than Cody. Jasper did not have time to feel pleased with himself. He quickly flipped open the magazine and spent a few
minutes reading the report.
“Sigh.”
He tossed the special on the table and sighed.
“What’s wrong? I read the interview and they didn’t say anything bad about you. Why do you look so upset?” Wendy asked quickly.
“The write-up is fine, and they managed to get the message I wanted to convey without contorting any facts. However, I’m disappointed because of this.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “The reason I accepted this interview is to essentially use this chance of being on the cover to promote myself and increase the United States’ fear toward their domestic financial crisis. Also, I want to enlarge the degree of the influence of the subprime mortgage crisis. However, the focus is all on me now and the thing I wanted them to exaggerate has been weakened and brought out of the limelight.
“This is not what I expected.”
Wendy said, “How could everything in the world be in accordance with your wishes? Not to mention, they have already published the last few words you said. Anyone who invests in the United States financial market has to pay attention to what you said, so I don’t think you need to be too worried and pessimistic.”
“You are right.”
Jasper nodded. Then, virtual-novel.net kissed Wendy on the cheek and said, “I’m going to the trading center now. You should also take a break. Just treat these as entertainment and don’t take them too seriously. There are definitely advocates deliberately promoting this. The most important thing is to do our own business well.”
Wendy blushed, nodded, and gave virtual-novel.net a reply in the form of a bum.
Jasper and Wendy talked for a while. Then, when it was almost time, Jasper headed to the trading center. Unexpectedly, as soon as virtual-novel.net arrived at the company, virtual-novel.net heard a female voice yelling right after virtual-novel.net got out of the car, “Mr. Laine!”
“Honey!”
Jasper was taken aback. After virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net saw a few well-dressed girls looking at virtual-novel.net with excitement.
Jasper immediately understood that virtual-novel.net was caught by his ‘fans’.
Jasper turned around and entered the company after virtual-novel.net waved and smiled at them.
“Mr. Laine, I’m really sorry. These girls insisted on waiting for you at the door of the company. We tried to get rid of them a few times, but were unsuccessful. There are even two law students and they said as long as they don’t come in, we don’t have the right to kick them out.”
The head of the security department came over to apologize.
“It’s okay, I’m not a celebrity. However, if you continue to run into similar situations, you can set up a canopy outside the door and get some chairs for them to sit on. I will come through the basement from now on. If they can’t see me, they will eventually stop coming. This way, we won’t offend anyone after getting a good reputation, plus I will avoid myself the trouble.” Jasper
said as virtual-novel.net walked.
“Okay, Mr. Laine, I will do it now,” the head said with a smile on his face.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Patting the head of the security department on the shoulder, Jasper went straight into the elevator.
The head of security watched the elevator door closed with excitement. Then, virtual-novel.net took a look at his shoulder that had been patted by Mr. Laine, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and shouted at his men who were feeling envious, “Did you hear that? Hurry up and execute what Mr. Laine ordered. Go build canopies outside!”
Upon arriving at the top floor of the trading center, as soon as Jasper stepped foot into the command room, Jake approached him.
“Mr. Laine, I was about to call you. There is a new situation that had developed.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Jake did not wait for Jasper to ask before taking out a document. He said, “The latest announcement issued by the United States Ministry of Commerce shows that the Ministry of Commerce is launching a commercial investigation against a total of 13 companies in the United States. The contents include tax review, business scope review, and transaction review. The Ministry of Commerce is pushing for a bill to increase tariffs on a total of 7 categories and 19 minor categories of products, including rubber, leather products, and seafood.”
As Jasper heard that, virtual-novel.net took the document over. The more virtual-novel.net looked at it, the tighter virtual-novel.net furrowed his brows.
“Almost all the 13 companies under investigation are companies belonging to Harbor City, and the product categories for which they want to increase tariffs are also important industries for Harbor City capital. This is a targeted response.” Jasper frowned.
“Mr. Laine, if this is the case, the pressure on Harbor City will be very high. Considering that they have almost no liquid funds, once a chain reaction occurs, it will be very troublesome.”
Upon hearing what Jake said, Jasper narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “It seems that the United States is not in enough pain. Let’s increase our strength today.”
