Sylva leaned back against the rattan chair. He picked up a clay teapot and took a sip from the mouth of the pot. He asked, “Do you know why you lost?”Zayden stared blankly at him, then his face became filled with bitter resentment. “The Schulers stabbed me in the back! They’re despicable and have no shame!”“Everyone has the right to say that the Schulers are despicable and have no shame, but we can’t. If you want to say those things, then both of us are the ones who are despicable and have no shame.“Plus, the business world is like a warzone. If you lose, it means you’re not as good as the others. You refuse to look at your own problems but instead, you accuse others of being despicable and shameless. You’re still too inexperienced.”Sylva asked Zayden to sit down. His tone and appearance looked unhurried.“The reason you lost is that you’re too shortsighted. You were too caught up in the momentary gains and losses. When you’re in the face of a crisis, you throw yourself into c
“Dad, don’t worry. This time, I won’t lose to anyone no matter what!” Zayden said firmly while gritting his teeth.Sylva turned back and looked at him. Then, he patted his shoulder and said, “If that’s the case, then the ten billion dollar fee is not much of a deficit.”Zayden lowered his voice and said, “I’ll take back this debt from the Schulers and that person behind them!”…Jasper had been staying in Schuler Manor in the province.Firstly, the registration of the real estate company and the series of paperwork regarding this process would need his signature since he was the shareholder.Secondly, he took this time to stroll around the province with Wendy as well.JW Capital was only investing in Terizone for now.In addition to that, Terizone was determined not to fall short, so they did not have to worry much about them. If there were any problems, Hudson and Jack were able to solve them.Jasper had planned this clearly from the beginning regarding this matter.He could
Zayden immediately walked over.“Hey, you’re here to apply for the bid as well?” Zayden looked at the folder in Jasper’s hand and chuckled coldly. “You’re just a man who depends on his woman and you’ve gotten some worthwhile results? Seriously?”“You want to but unfortunately, you’ll never be able to,” Jasper replied coldly.Zayden’s eyes darkened as he scoffed. “Laine, don’t be so pleased. I’ve suffered some losses before, but what does it have to do with you?”“The winners are Dawson and that person behind him. At best, you’re just a dog next to them! Stop trying to be a dog that’s threatening people just because of its master’s power!”“If that’s the case, why don’t we see who’ll get the last laugh?” Jasper shook the folder in his hand and said unhurriedly.Zayden said disdainfully with a scoff, “You don’t have the right to talk to me like that. Don’t forget you’re just someone who depends on his woman. The Schulers can kick you away anytime they want.”Jasper peered at Zayde
Jasper did not move when he was facing Zayden who was about to pounce on him like a mad dog.He was even smiling at him as if he was expecting Zayden to lose his mind completely.“Mr. Hanks!”At this critical moment, the people next to Zayden grabbed him tightly.“This is the city hall and upstairs is the office for the leaders. If you attack him here, then your family will be in trouble. Please calm down.”Zayden’s subordinates were still rational. They knew that if Zayden attacked Jasper here, he would be in trouble no matter whose fault it was.Zayden took a deep breath and suppressed his flames of anger.He glared at Jasper and said malevolently, “You won’t be complacent for long. Soon, I will make you kneel in front of me!”Zayden turned around and left after he said that.Jasper felt that it was such a pity that Zayden had stopped himself at the final moment.If Zayden had attacked Jasper just now, then Jasper would have ways to make him get more than he bargained for.
The woman looked at Jasper in surprise. “Aren’t you gonna give me a name card and ask me for my contact number?”“Goodbye.”The woman pouted while looking at Jasper’s back. She felt that this young man was the most interesting person she had met after she came to Mainland with her father.“Goodbye.” Even though Jasper had already left the hall, she still muttered this.Jasper got into his car in the parking lot. His eyes were twinkling.The woman just now had a thick Harbor City accent. In addition to that, it went without saying that if someone from Harbor City was here at this moment, then it must mean that the big shot was coming over to invest in the province.Jasper had a plan forming in his head, and he quickly called Dawson.“Uncle Schuler, I have something to discuss with you.”Dawson did not hesitate. He told his secretary to cancel his following schedule and said to Jasper, “Alright. Come to the company. I’ll wait for you in my office.”…“F*ck! F*ck! Damn that son
“You’re too courteous, Mr. Law. It’s my pleasure to entertain you,” Zayden said in an extremely humbling manner. His heart was about to crack from anger and humiliation.However, he did not have a choice. He could only endure this because, at this critical moment, he could not offend Mr. Law.The auction was about to start, and the fruit of victory was just in front of him, so he must endure this.Zayden swore in his heart. After he won, he would return all of the grievances he had suffered during this period back to Jasper by 100-fold!…“You mean the Hanks might have already contacted the businessman from Harbor City?”Dawson looked heatedly at Jasper, and his expression was solemn.Jasper nodded and said, “The attitude of the businessman from Harbor City could directly affect the attitude of the government. Since he’s planning to invest, then the coherent facilities would follow after the land he invests in. Coincidentally, he would run into the matter of the province's expan
After everyone from different industries arrived, the auction officially started.A group of people walked in from the side door with the leader of the city hall leading them. Then, they sat in the seats that were intentionally separated from the rest.The leaders from different industries who came to the auction started interacting with each other. They understood that those people who had just walked in were the influential businesspeople from Harbor City.The head of the group was a man who looked like he was in his 60s. He was wearing a suit and looked lean. However, when he talked, he was oozing with the air of a successful man and looked like he was full of charisma.Next to him were a young man and a young woman. The man was chewing gum while looking slovenly. The woman was very beautiful and looked so charming as if she had been blessed by heaven. The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of a lot of people.The woman was looking around in the venue as if she
“We can’t allow any mishaps for this auction.”Zayden remembered the call he received from Sylva before he left the house.The businessman from Harbor City had high hopes in them, and since they already had his support, the Hanks family had gathered most of their liquid funds for this.Zayden had a huge volume of bargaining chips in his hand.His dignity did not allow him to lose. Even though 1.5 billion was out of his budget, he was enraged as he gritted his teeth and called out, “1.5 billion!”Zayden’s expression was near malevolent.Everyone’s jaws dropped when they heard this price.He also heard people sucking in their breaths.At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their heads. The Hanks were not treating money like money.“1.5 billion! Is there more? 1.5 billion going once!”The emcee’s voice started to sound excited.“1.5 billion going twice!”Zayden chuckled and said to Jasper almost morbidly, “Go on. Why are you not increasing the price? Huh? Go on if yo
