Although there were some disagreements, most of the people present still wanted this deal to be a success.Moreover, Rowan realized that even the odd three did not seem to have negative feelings toward the deal.After some time, the crowd was finally on the same page after some heated, but not hostile, discussions and negotiations.“Mr. Jefferson, now that everyone has pretty much expressed their opinions, I think everyone should have an idea regarding the general direction of this deal.”As the convener of this negotiation, Asa had to initiate the final statement.Rowan rubbed his tired eyes. He was trying his best to keep himself in his most amiable and confident state as he smiled and nodded.“Mr. Asa, I also think we’re on the same page.”To be honest, the deal did not meet Rowan's initial expectations, but it was still acceptable.Although the ending was not perfect, Rowan was not too frustrated.On the first day of his visit, Celine had told him not to be too hard on the
Rowan had a smug smile on his face—he had obtained success in a single move.No matter how much he had grown, the duration was still too short.During the negotiations, he worked hard to keep a mature appearance and not show too much emotion.However, when everything was set and done, he still let his true feelings show.During the meeting, Goodman, the representative of Shield Factory, and his friends unabashedly showed their disdain for Rowan. When he saw the expression on Rowan’s face, he smiled mockingly and said, “So what if you’ve reached an agreement? It will only be considered a real deal if you show us the money.“Mr. J… Forget it, you’re all monkeys, so it’s the same whatever I address you. Are you sure your daddy gave you enough trading privileges before you came here?“Don’t get to the point where you can’t pay after we transfer the stock to you.”After Goodman finished speaking, he started laughing arrogantly as if he had just told the funniest joke in the world.T
Asa's face fell as he listened to Goodman's provocation.He was the one who asked these people over, and because of how sensitive this was, Asa had spent a lot of effort in screening them.Because of Sahar’s threat and his special position in the Kurt family, Asa was also worried that Sahar would take advantage of the crisis and sabotage the deal.Because of this, Asa had only summoned people that he could confirm were reliable.Although it was not always the boss of the summoned company who came for the negotiation, it would at least be their trusted aide who was very clear about the company's current problems. Therefore, they would not come to cause trouble.Yet, Asa did not expect someone would cause a scene at this juncture.Asa knew Goodman.In his mind, although Goodman was arrogant and would often rely on his sister being the wife of Shield’s boss to push everyone around at the factory, he was still pretty respectful in their previous encounters.After all, Asa was sligh
17th May 2000 [You have transferred 13666422.19 dollars into your savings card ending with the numbers 2022. The current balance is 13667922.19 dollars. (Commercial Bank)]Jasper looked at the text on his phone reminding him of his transaction details. He let out a deep breath, a look of excitement emerging on his face. Five months ago, he was reborn and traveled back in time from the year 2020. He had wasted 40 years of his past life, but the heavens were giving him another shot at life. Jasper Laine, who has been working in the economic industry for more than ten years, was reborn in the year 2000 with memories and knowledge of the next 20 years to come. Knowing that he could not waste away the next few decades of his life, Jasper started taking action five months ago! He did everything based on sheer memory regarding the hottest issue that happened in the country back in 2000—the mung bean futures incident. Jasper sold off his parents’ only property and broke into
“Jasper! Wait and see, I’ll definitely not let you have your way!” Penelope blurted out in anger and left. There was not a hint of regret in Jasper’s gaze as he saw Penelope leave in a fit of rage. He should have dumped this woman a long time ago! In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. Jasper wrote down all the opportunities to earn money he could recall from his memories in his notebook in case his memory deteriorated in the future. This was the most important thing in his life right now. He could not be careless about it. Someone knocked on the door out of the blue. Jasper opened the door and was met with the sight of three people—Penelope Hunt, her brother, Calvin Hunt, and her mother, Susan Jones. Susan had a snarky expression on her face. Once she caught sight of Jasper, she pointed a finger at him and shouted out loud, “Jasper Laine! I let my daughter date you since I thought you were honest and genuine. How dare you dump my daughter, you cold-hearted b*st
Jasper did not bother about them. He did not give a damn about what they said at all. Now that he had money, he could become a millionaire or a billionaire in the future. Would he still be afraid of a few rogues pestering him? In the week after, the Hunts did not come over to look for trouble with him. Jasper felt at ease as well. However, he did not spend his time in vain either. Based on his memories, he knew that something huge was about to happen in this small town. In his past life, he knew that a ruby pendant had appeared in a jewelry shop called Glory Jewellers within the town. The boss of the shop promoted this ruby pendant as an antique piece, but this pendant was once worn by an English monarch in the past! Therefore, the pendant was being sold as a treasure of the shop. However, with a price tag of 500,000 dollars, nobody in town would buy it. Despite the gimmick, no one believed in it. They had to be kidding. An antique ruby pendant worn by a monar
Upon hearing Jasper’s words, the disbelief on Calvin’s face instantly morphed into an expression of anger and jealousy. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Jasper pointedly. “Where did you get all this money from? You said that you didn’t have money a few days ago, but now you have 500,000 dollars to buy a ruby pendant?!” he questioned. “This is my money. I don’t have to tell you where I got it from. What I do with it is none of your business as well,” Jasper said. “Hmph!” Calvin sneered coldly, “You must’ve sold your house, right? Otherwise, where did you get all that money from?” he asked. “He must have done so. Tsk tsk, what a sinner. How can you sell your house just to buy a ruby pendant? You’ve really gone mad,” Susan commented. The sales assistant had already packaged the ruby pendant nicely for him. She did not talk to Jasper in an impatient tone anymore. “Sir, your ruby pendant has been wrapped up,” she said in a tone full of respect. “Wait!” Penelope sh
With the president doing things for him personally, all the procedures were completed smoothly. The interest Jasper received was thrice the normal rate. This was the most premium treatment one could apply for in this small town. Jasper did not really care about how much interest he received. He just wanted to let the Commercial Bank know his financial power. Not long after, something would occur in the international futures market for crude oil. As an ordinary person, it was impossible for him to go overseas to start an account and begin speculating the prices of crude oil. He needed to do this through his connections with the Commercial Bank. At the same time, the Commercial Bank gave him a premium credit card with a quota of a million dollars as well. If this was 20 years in the future, the Commercial Bank would not hand a card like that over to someone with a cash deposit of ten million dollars. However, this was the year 2000, and ten million dollars was enough to l
