The world-renowned Harbour Palace had
once been the largest shopping complex i
In all of Terra.
Most people had learned of its existence
after the year 2010, but in reality, it had
begun construction back in 1986, under
the lead of Nine Dragon Corporation.
However, at the start, it had just been
several shopping malls which merged to
form a shopping complex. Although large,
it had not achieved any actual scale-up.
It had just been a concept that Nine
Dragon Corporation came up with to
simplify their management and achieve
uniformity in their products.
However, its fame was propelled in 2002
when Nine Dragon Corporation did an
entire renovation and redesign of Harbour
Palace. After that, this massive shopping
complex took advantage of Harbor City’s
capitalist fame and instantly became
famous.
How famous did it become?
Harbour Palace raked in a shocking total o f 95 billion dollars just from rent alone. and Nine Dragon
Corporation earned no less than 100 billion dollars every year from this one industry alone.
A shopping complex did not get its income purely from rent alone. They also earned revenue from
things such as parking fees on the property grounds.
Who would suffer the most losses from Harbour Palace’s rise to prominence?
It would be Hope Group, which owned over 20 shopping malls in Harbour City.
Thus, what Jasper intended to do was to
drive the blade right into Hope Group’s
chest and cause them to suffer massive.
losses.
Mr. Boyle did not show any expression as he listened to Wendy speak. On the contrary, Zed was the
first to raise his eyebrows.
Indeed, the Boyle family owned Nine
Dragon Corporation, but he had always been the one in charge of managing it, and he had done so
pretty well too.
However, despite that, the industries under Nine Dragon Corporation’s management had always only
performed mediocrely. Larger-sized ones had an advantageous edge, but it also meant the industries
would be overly complex and cause them to struggle to survive with their mediocre earnings. Hence,
he had no idea why Wendy, or perhaps Jasper, pointedly asked to work with Nine Dragon Corporation
in constructing this shopping complex.
Wendy noticed the questioning looks on the Boyles’ faces and continued saying, ” We’ll take the land
JW has just gotten and combine it with the shopping malls under Níne Dragon Corporation’s name.
Moreover, JW has plans to purchase over a hundred thousand square feet of the land and industries
surrounding the property. When you put everything together, Harbour Palace will take up no less than
230 thousand square feet of land.
“Once the project is settled, we’ll not only
have the largest shopping complex in
Harbour City, but the largest shopping
complex in the entirety of Terra. Harbour City has a well-developed market with high costs of living.
Various luxury brands across the world will be able to set up specialty stores here, so they won’t have t
o worry about a lack of customers or supply of goods.”
Wendy gazed at the members of the Boyle
family, whose eyes were sparkling before
she smiled and asked, “Are you interested
in a project like this?”
Zed forced his racing heart to calm down a
s he gazed at Wendy with excitement in
his eyes. He had seen his vision come true
in Wendy’s blueprint just now.
The largest shopping complex in Terra. That was what he had always dreamed of!
“How much money will we have to invest? How will the ratio of the shares be divided?” Zed asked the
most crucial questions.
Wendy replied, “The overall investment
will be no less than 80 billion Harbor
Dollars. As for the percentage of shares, that depends. Does the Boyle family have any cash to spare
now?”
The Boyle family members blushed when
they heard that.
After what had happened in the past, the
Boyle and Law family had ended up just
like the other rich families. They had used
up the very last reserves of their fortune,
and the cash they had now was barely
enough to maintain operations in all their
industries. Although the companies under
their name were constantly earning
revenue, the amount was only enough to
defend themselves against lesser risks.
They did not have 80 billion Harbor
Dollars worth of spare cash to invest.
Without waiting for the Boyle family to
respond, Wendy said sincerely, “Both
Jasp and I have seen the sacrifices your
family made for JW Foundation. Thus, we
currently plan to shoulder all the financial
investments. The Boyle and Law family.
will invest using their surrounding
industries or plots of land. In terms of
shares, JW will take 40% while the Boyle
and Law family will take 30% each.”
Mr. Boyle and Zed exchanged looks with each other after she said that. They had no further comments.
“Jasper is truly virtuous. This is a huge
favor.”
Both Mr. Boyle and Zed had been in the
business industry for many years. They
could tell at a glance that once the project
was completed, they would be raking in
several billion dollar’s worth of earnings
every month. What JW was doing now by
giving away shares for nothing was
equivalent to giving away their money.
All they needed to do was locate several
industries that were nearby and rope
them into the mix.
No matter how you looked at it, they
would be making guaranteed earnings
without suffering any losses.
Wendy chuckled and said, “Jasper said
that he’s the one who’s indebted to
everyone in Harbor City. JW’s main
reason for joining Harbor City this time is
mainly to work against the alliance
formed by the three families, and the
second reason is to set up a scenario.
where everyone can earn money
together.”
“Alright, we agree to this collaboration!”
After gaining approval from Mr. Boye, Zed
spoke in a pleased tone.
“In that case, let’s wish for a pleasant
collaboration in advance.”
“It will be pleasant for sure. Hahaha!”
Several hours later, JW Company
announced this business plan to the
public.
Harbor City’s business circle immediately
went into an uproar.
The three shareholders in this business
project included the Boyle family and the
Law family, both of whom were Harbor
City’s most well-established big shots. As
for the third shareholder, it was the up
and-coming JW Company.
It was an alliance between three strong
parties. Everyone could tell that this
project would be a massive success as the
three shareholders invested their assets
into it.
Thus, it had a massive impact on Harbor
City’s commercial real estate.
Harbor City had a well-developed economy, but the size of the available land was limited. Everyone
could tell that adding such a massive shopping complex t o a place where there were already plenty o f
shopping malls would cause a massive impact on the other shopping malls.
Those who paid attention to the details.
immediately directed their focus onto
Hope Group.
After all, Hope Group used to own the
largest number of shopping malls in
Harbor City.
It was obvious that this project was aimed
to work against Hope Group.
Harbor City’s stock market was still closed because it was still a rest day. However, as a stream of both
good and bad news arrived, not even the most experienced investors could guess how Harbor City’s
stock market would look like when it opened again.
All everyone could do now was wait.
The news soon reached New York, United States.
Three people sat in the study of Joe’s mansion. The atmosphere was tense and boarding.
Kennedy slammed his fist onto the table with a loud thump. He had a dark expression on his face as he
said, ” Everything Jasper Laine did shows that he’s trying to take our places!”
