Jasper replied calmly, “Sure, if that’s what you wish.”Elated, Jasper’s aunt began to praise him. “Look at you, so forgiving, surely befitting of a man who has made it in the city. You’ve got to learn more from Jasper, Bard.”“Yes, of course. I’ll definitely follow him so I can learn more.” Bard smiled as he nodded and bowed.Jasper frowned. “Follow me? What are you trying to say?”His aunt quickly replied, “Bard is your cousin, Jasper. Now that you’ve established your own company, you need to have someone on your side to look after it, don’t you? I think Bard’s a perfect choice.”Bard patted his chest. “Don’t worry, Jasper. I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on your company. I’ll make sure not even a burglar gets in.”Jasper finally understood what this family’s intentions were and replied, “My company isn’t hiring, nor do I need you to go and watch over it.”Bard was an idler, and there was nothing Bard had that he could be proud of—from his educational background to his ab
Sally went to make dinner with a happy chuckle.Wendy turned to Jasper with a proud look.Jasper chuckled. ‘This woman’s getting cuter by the second.’…Dinner consisted of chicken, a few vegetable dishes, and pork rib soup.Jasper and his family sat around the dining table. The atmosphere had lightened greatly and Wendy was no longer as nervous as she was before. In fact, she began to actively lighten the mood.Charlie spoke more now that Wendy was here, and he would ask her some questions from time to time.The lady was smart, for she did not tell the whole story. Instead, she merely said that her family did business and she worked for Commercial Bank.As far as ordinary families were concerned, a lady with such a family background was the most suitable for their son.Not to mention that Wendy was a beautiful lady, and both Sally and Charlie were extremely pleased with her.Jasper drank with Charlie and said, “Dad, these years… I’ve troubled the two of you too much.”Charl
Jasper frowned at Hudson’s words.According to what he remembered, Sena should currently be in a critical period of preparation for listing.Sena had indeed developed a communication software, and they had indeed caused a great amount of trouble for Terizone.Yet that was something that happened in 2004.The butterfly’s wings had begun to flutter, yet Sena was now entering the communications industry two whole years before it should have. Not to mention that they were developing it by themselves.Sena was currently in full swing and would turn into one of the country’s top three networking sites along with Netsy and Soha.The most important concept for internet users right now was that of web portals. Since its main function now was to read up on the latest news, it was far less complex than it would be in later years.Terizone and Sena were of completely different sizes right now. All it took was one small move from Sena and Terizone would lose one line of defense.Which was w
Jasper was woken up by Hudson’s phone call at six o’clock in the morning.“We’ve just gotten wind that Sena’s beta communication software, Sena Chat, will be officially released tomorrow morning.”Hudson's tone was anxious, for the release of Sena Chat would definitely deal a fatal blow to Terizone right now!“I’ll be right over!”Hanging up the phone, Jasper booked a ticket and rushed to Cavern City as fast as he could.Meanwhile, Sena Chat was officially released on the market.Sena's sudden launch of the software, Sena Chat, had resulted in a frenzy within the domestic internet circle.Disregarding its portal sites and its gaming aspect, instant messaging had the most users in the internet industry within the country right now, for it was also the easiest to draw users in at alarming rates.It was just that this form of business did not have overwhelming web portals like Sena and Soha.KK might have the most users within the country, but no one seemed to be taking Terizone
Sena was evidently at a greater advantage than Terizone right now.Not to mention that the other party was still one of the three major domestic web portals. Once they did everything they could to push their chatting software into the market, it would be an easy feat to gather more users.All they had to do was advertise it on their web portal.Therefore, merely giving Hudson and the rest ideas was not enough.What Terizone needed the most now was users. The purpose of the new features was only to increase their attractiveness and customer stickiness. However, it could also easily be plagiarized by their competitors.What Terizone needed the most now was to pull in a large wave of users in the shortest amount of time.Jasper already had a plan to carry that out, but he had to be the one to do it personally.If he succeeded, it would function as a figurative thruster for the carriage Terizone was, and it was something Hudson and the rest could not do now.That night, Terizone’s
“If one billion isn’t enough, then two billion, three billion!“There is not a single person in the domestic internet industry who has more money than me.”While Jasper's ‘two billion’ and ‘three billion’ were mostly exaggerations, newfound confidence had grown in the five’s hearts with Jasper's words.Hudson waved his hand. “Everyone heard what Mr. Laine said, right? Stop hesitating and get to work!”“Alright. Cameron, Logan, and I will take charge of building the webpage’s content as fast as we can, while Zaine and Daniel, you two endure a little more and finalize the new features we made last night. We’ll upload the updated software before noon today!”…After a while of busying and under the expectant gazes of everyone, Hudson released the newest version of KK at 12 o’clock sharp!This update had caused an uproar within the market!It now seemed to everyone that Terizone was long prepared for Sena’s aggressive attack, for they managed to upload a new version of KK the next
“This Jack, I’ve had people contact him before and offer him a high pay so that he could work for Sena, but he rejected the offer without a thought.”Dane pushed himself from the table with two hands and stood. There was a treacherous glint in his eyes.“I was fine with that since he was working happily at Weresoft and there’s no way Sena could compete with Weresoft. But then he moved to work for JW Capital and managed to bring the company instant success. There’s something that doesn’t seem right here.”The person in charge of Sena’s business department replied, “I’ve dug a little into this JW Capital before. All I know is that its legal personality and its shareholder goes by the name Jasper Laine. That’s all I have. The company’s investment with Terizone should be their first investment.”“It’s their first investment and they’ve helped Terizone counterattack us. There’s more to this JW Capital that meets the eye.” Dane scoffed.“That makes more sense, then.” James smiled bitter
…When he saw Dawson again, it was when his future father-in-law was the most high-spirited.Jasper was not clear about the fight with the Hanks, but when he saw Dawson in high spirits, it was evident that the outcome was ideal.“The head of the Hanks family has stepped down,” Dawson said directly after Jasper sat down.“That bad?” Jasper asked in surprise.After all, the Hanks was one of the influential big families in the province. The failure of the scheme last time almost caused the head of the Hanks family to fall from his position of prestige.“The most important thing is that Zayden is the son of the head of the family. The father and son were pushed out by the Hanks to ease my anger.”Dawson’s face was gloomy. “Although another person is the head now, the Hanks will still be the Hanks. This time, they’ve lost billions and their reputation. They won’t do anything for now, but they won’t let this go after suffering a loss.”“Different situations call for different actions
