‘People in high positions were indeed different,’ Jasper sighed in his heart.Even though his idea was for Somerland’s sake, his starting point was always business-related, while Mr. McNeal skipped this and looked at a hundred years into the future.What Mr. McNeal wanted was a long-term plan; Temporary gains and losses were not within his scope of consideration at all. “Then… What about the United States?”Mr. McNeal heard Jasper’s cautious question and smiled.“They’re not a concern. When we do something, we should not consider the difficulty but whether it is worth doing.“Just go ahead and do it with all your heart. We will support you.”Jasper asked, “Then, should we still use our company’s name when we finally take the lead on this matter?”“Of course, we still need to do this well. We cannot allow them to find any flaws, so you should come forward in this matter so this can be done secretly and not get revealed.”After saying that, Mr. McNeal seemed to realize somethin

Soon, the two were almost done talking. Just when Jasper thought Mr. McNeal was about to end the call, he heard Mr. McNeal say unexpectedly, “Jasper, there seems to be something you haven’t told me. I originally wanted to wait for you to tell me, but you never brought it up. Why? Can’t you trust me?”Jasper was stunned.Apart from this, there was nothing else he needed to ask Mr. McNeal for.Mr. McNeal knew that Jasper really had no such plan after Jasper did not say anything. So, he smiled and said, “It’s about Wendy and Anna. Some time ago, when I was talking about the development of Harbor City with my subordinates, I happened to mention you. Then, my secretary told me that Wendy and Anna encountered some trouble in Harbor City.“I can offer some help if you need me to. I can’t help much, but my words still hold some power.”Although Mr. McNeal was being modest, Jasper knew that once Mr. McNeal brought it up, it would be as simple as a few words.This was a great gift and a re

"Jasper, recently, some people in the Kurt family have been trying to sell their shares off-market. Can we try to acquire them?"Rowan held a large stack of thick reports and looked at Jasper.He held the financial reports of several listed processing plants of the Kurt family that he had collected in the past few days.Although Rowan was known as a playboy, he still possessed all the qualities that someone from an aristocratic family should have.Understanding corporate financial reports was a required course for them.After all, if someone wanted to understand the true information of a company, they could not just look at what they missed, but also what they did not say.Financial statements were one of them.Even if the reports they put out had been heavily disguised and beautified, people who knew how could still see their flaws.This was what Rowan had learned in his family over the years.He also had an expert like Celine, who worked in Colossal Investments beside him, s

Early the next morning, Rowan washed up, suited up, and stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his collar.Today was the day he would negotiate for the acquisition of shares.After receiving confirmation from Jasper yesterday, he immediately contacted the sellers.Thanks to the help of Warwick from the Elvis family and Assange, his image in that circle had a high degree of credibility.So, the other party did not think much and arranged to meet him directly.Moreover, he also put a lot of effort into selecting negotiation partners.Everyone he planned to meet had gone through strict pre-investigation and financial background checks to confirm that the other party genuinely needed money and had no other option.Another point was that he had to confirm that the other party truly had a strong motive to continue running the company rather than fleeing after getting the funds.No wonder Rowan was so cautious. After all, Qari was different from Somerland. It was much worse than Some

“Anyway, Gruel is the one we know best now. Also…”When Rowan said this, he chuckled. “Maybe I know his company better than Amir himself now.”According to the information they obtained, Amir was the new person sent by Kimbra to take charge of the Gruel Processing Plant. Initially, he had no relations with the processing plant.Obviously, Kimbra did not expect the person who succeeded Abdul to manage the factory well. He needed someone to help him keep the factory firmly under his control to cope with the subsequent inspection by the elders.Of course, he would most likely fail.According to speculations, Amir’s real supporter should be Sahar. Otherwise, Sahar’s previous deliberate efforts to drive away Abdul would have been in vain if he let Kimbra take over so easily.Someone with so much power in the Kurt family was no fool.Gruel held a special position among all the factories of the Kurt family, not only in terms of production capacity but also in terms of influence.From

This trip to Qari was not something trivial, nor was it purely commercial.From the beginning, this action was given a meaning far exceeding commercial value.It was part of Jasper's business landscape and part of Somerland's efforts to break the double blockade of technology and energy that the United States may continue to implement in the future.Despite Qari being a small and seemingly weak country, its global significance was not solely determined by its size.It was not as big as a certain province in Somerland, but it had the fifth largest oil reserves in the world.The crucial factor was Qari's apparent oil reserves. Due to war and technical constraints, Qari's oil exploration had consistently been acknowledged as far from reaching its storage limit.In other words, if one considered its actual reserves, Qari would have a much higher ranking in the world.So, this was a strategic location for which military strategists had to compete.In modern economic strategies, the

Rowan knew that Jasper had not been idle these days.Jasper had been on the phone with the people in Somerland last night, and it seemed they were talking about the trade market.Rowan knew that although Jasper showed unparalleled business intuition and talent in business, his strongest area had always been finance.He had fought with Soros before, after all.Since Jasper was busy until late last night, Rowan originally thought he would not see Jasper in the morning. Therefore, he did not expect Jasper to be standing here and listening to the rehearsal he and Celine had in advance."Rowan, your ideas are fine, so there's a high chance you'll win in normal negotiations."Although you look like you are going to negotiate with two companies today, in essence, you are only negotiating with one."According to Abdul's news, Murire has been following Gruel in its business strategy. Even at the earliest, Murire was just Gruel's branch."Since Murire has been following Gruel, it has bec

Although Jasper was raining on Rowan’s parade, Rowan did not feel anything wrong at all, nor did he intend to take it up with him.Whether it be their experience of working together or the things they saw and heard during the time they worked together, he trusted Jasper completely now.Since Jasper pointed out an issue with his idea, he must be right.“Jasp, I understand what you’re getting at. Qari is a country full of warlords, after all. They’re unique in their own way, but they’re all essentially the same in terms of economic activity. There can’t be too big of a difference.”Meanwhile, Celine was unconvinced.She had discussed those plans with Rowan day and night.With her employment history and professional experience, she believed that she had considered every detail when devising the plan.Plus, she was aware that Rowan had never dealt with an unstable market due to war.For investment bankers like them, risk meant huge opportunity, and this especially applied to countr
