“The Law family is still in Swallow Capital. Besides, an intense struggle is taking place between Harbor
City’s business groups and local companies. We must not get involved.
“Not only should we not get involved, but we should get out of Swallow Capital as quickly as possible
because Zachary Law might come after us. That old dude was rich and famous 20 years ago, but his
son isn’t even half as accomplished as him.”
Ian’s eyes glinted sinisterly as he continued saying, “We’ll return to Waterhoof City for now. The Law
family can’t do anything to us while we’re there because it’s in the Mainland and not Harbor City, where
they hold immense power.
“There are plenty of ways to deal with Jasper Laine. We won’t attack him directly for now. However,
Benny previously tried to get the one named Wendy Schuler to date him. I’ve run a background check
on her too. We know everything about her.
“Wendy has already left Swallow City, but Jasper is still there. We can take advantage of this
opportunity to go after Wendy!”
Norman’s eyes brightened as he listened to Ian speak. He thought it was a good idea.
“One more thing. What’s Wendy’s background?” Norman asked carefully.
Ian smiled as he said, “She’s the daughter of the richest man of a province. Her father is Dawson
Schuler. We would normally never dare to provoke someone of such a powerful background, but
desperate times call for desperate measures. Anyway, we’re not afraid of him!
“Moreover, we’ll use some tricks from the dark side. How would he find out if he weren’t already paying
attention?”
…
In InterContinental Hotel’s Imperial Ballroom, the banquet’s atmosphere regained some of its warmth
after Ian and company left.
The two old men were still reminiscing about their sufferings in the past while Zachary spoke to Henry
and Anna. Brad and Erik were also whispering to each other.
The party seemed lively, but everyone was only talking to those who were in their inner circle.
Except for the two old men, both Zachary and Brad seemed to think there was nothing to say to the
other party.
As for Jasper, he ignored both parties and focused his attention on servicing the two old men.
He had brought along two bottles of aged 30-year-old brandy with him tonight. It was good alcohol and
not the kind that anyone could get their hands on.
However, they were nothing to both Old Master Law and Old Master Turner.
Jasper poured the two men some brandy. If that tiny cup had been placed in front of him in his past life,
it would be worth at least 2,000 dollars.
The two men were elderly and did not take much alcohol.
“This is good wine,” Zachary praised as he took a sip of the brandy.
“It has a mellow aroma and a fragrant taste. No wonder it’s been deemed the pride of Harbor City.”
Jasper smiled as he said, “This brandy is a good thing indeed. I’m feeling optimistic about the market
outlook for alcohol and am planning to buy some shares for brandy in the secondary market. I think it’s
one of the few shares worth holding on to for a long-term investment. Would you like to join me, Uncle
Law?”
In Jasper’s past life, the market price for brandy increased by 40% in just three months. With a
horrifying share price of 1,400 US dollars per share, not only had it become the most expensive A-
share, but it had even overtaken the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Somer to become the number
one A-share company with a market capitalization of 1.8 trillion US dollars.
Yet, how much did a share for brandy cost now?
It had just entered the market and did not cost more than 31 US dollars for a share!
Not to mention the fact that it would drop to 20 US dollars per share next year.
In 19 years, its profits would increase by 70 times. That was enough for Jasper to enter the market.
Zachary’s eyes lit up.
Even Old Master Law had praised Jasper’s intuition in investing. The Law family was not strapped for
cash now, but they lacked the opportunity to invest.
Thus, what Jasper deemed feasible was definitely a business that could earn a lot of money.
“Sure. Let me know when you’re going to invest and I’ll invest in some shares too,” Zachary said as he
smiled.
If an ordinary person said they were going to invest in shares during this age, they would probably only
invest several million dollars. At the very most, they would invest several hundred thousand dollars.
However, Zachary looked at numbers no less than a billion when he decided to invest.
It was impossible to get hold of private capital for brandy when considering the special nature of its
market, but it was still possible to get hold of shares worth several million dollars.
Erik, who was sharing a table with them, laughed coldly. The two seemed to be putting on a show for
him.
