300 million dollars.
At first glance, it sounded like a lot.
It would be considered a lot even twenty years into the future in the era Jasper had been living in
before his reincarnation.
300 million dollars was enough for a family to achieve financial freedom. They would be viewed as
admirable millionaires in everyone’s eyes.
Nevertheless, however he looked at it, the price of 300 million offered by Ian Hull sounded like a huge
insult.
“I won’t say much about the value of the project’s development rights. Putting that aside, I have already
invested 800 million dollars in the project alone, and I’ve made a follow-up investment of more than 1.5
billion dollars. Despite all this, you telling me that you’re going to buy this project for 300 million dollars.
Mr. Hull, you have such immaculate decision-making.”
Ian chuckled at Jasper’s words. “Mr. Laine, I’m much older than you are. At first, I thought that you
were really capable and wouldn’t need many tips on what to do. However, I’d have to teach you a thing
or two today,” he said.
“The value of a commodity often isn’t based on its monetary value alone. Some things will end up being
a bad project when placed in your hands. You simply don’t have the ability to make it work.
“In that case, it’ll be worthless burden to you.
“However, it’d be different in my hands. I can make it work. This is my personal ability. This is my
capital. You can’t include this in the value of a commodity.”
Seated behind his office desk, Jasper fixed a calm and heavy gaze upon Ian.
After Ian finished speaking, Jasper questioned him in an indifferent tone, “From your perspective, is
there no doubt that I’ll screw up this project, Mr. Hull?”
Ian let out an inward laugh as his gaze gradually hardened. “Stop being so pretentious, Jasper Laine.
Isn’t it meaningless to do so? Your supply of building materials have been cut off, and I’m telling you
that you won’t be able to purchase any building materials no matter where you go or who you look for!”
He said.
“This is the definition of networking! This is what you call a resource pool!
“After all, I’m regarded as a prominent individual in Andros. Besides, given the reputation of the
Haddock Chamber of Commerce, who would dare to get on my bad side? Who would choose to supply
you with building materials under the risk of offending Haddock?
“How is the construction site going to proceed with its construction work without the building materials?”
Ian chuckled lightly. He looked at Jasper with a satisfied expression on his face. “In this world, you can’t
do whatever you want just because you have the potential and have once received a few words of
praise from others,” he said.
“If I gave a young man like you ten or twenty more years, or once you’re at my age, you may really
become more powerful than me.
“However, you’re still way too young right now. You haven’t gone through the torments of society. You
wouldn’t know how high and mighty the outside world can be. This incident should teach you a lesson.”
Ian got up as he spoke. He placed his hands on the office desk and stared down at Jasper from above.
“You can only blame yourself for being way too reckless in Swallow Capital. You may not have thought
about this, but although I may not have the ability to go against the Laws, it’s beyond easy for me to
defeat you,” he said while snickering.
“Admit your wrongdoings in front of me, and apologize to my son. After that, hand this project over to
me. I will let you keep your other businesses. Otherwise, I’ll make sure to take away everything that
you have and turn you into a penniless loser!”
“Your threats are rather frightening,” Jasper remarked in an even tone.
“Young man, it’s important to know your own limits. Do you really have the ability to go against your
seniors in the industry?”
Ian chuckled as he stood up and looked down at Jasper.
“Don’t be so conceited to the point that you forget your last name just because you’ve received some
praise in the past. This type of behavior is dangerous. You’ll be faced with a huge problem sooner or
later.
“You’re lucky that you met me. I tend to appreciate talented people, so I’m willing to give you a chance.
Otherwise, do you think that you’d still have the opportunity to talk to me right now?”
