Life at the Top

Chapter 290

Jasper and Jim bade farewell downstairs of the building.

“Uncle Yapp, I still have something I need to take care of. I’ll go handle it now,” Jasper said with a smile.

Jim nodded and said, “Alright, go on then. I’ll make an appointment with the King brothers later to see if we can get them to have dinner with us tonight.”

Jasper said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your update.”

Looking at Jasper and Julian’s figures, Jim felt deeply moved. He took out his phone to call Dawson.

“Dawson, you’ve got yourself a piece of treasure. Your son-in-law is really something else!”

…

After Jasper bade farewell to Jim, he went back to Sena immediately. Coincidentally, he spotted Hudson and Jack walking out after finishing a meeting. When he saw their glum faces, he knew something was wrong.

“What’s wrong?” Jasper asked.

“The people in Sena all have different minds! Some of them are willing to side with us while the others are gearing more toward Dane. Now, there are two sides,” Jack said with a complicated look on his face.

“It’s simple. Punish one of them as an example to others. If it doesn’t work, tell them to get lost.”

Jasper made a straightforward decision and smiled at Jack. He said, “We just got here, and we can’t keep pandering to them. I didn’t give you this power for no good reason. You should use it whenever

you see fit.

“Remember, we can’t be overly cautious when we’re doing things. Especially you. You promised to manage Sena properly for me! I’m waiting to see the results!”

“Roger!”

Jack nodded. He could not help but feel impressed with Jasper’s decisiveness. The biggest taboo of a company was to have big changes. If they did not execute it perfectly, it would affect the company greatly and cause them huge losses.

Hudson was standing at one side where he was looking at Jasper with admiration too. He felt that the tactics of this 20-something young man were so scary sometimes!

However, he had to admit that Jasper had a huge plan in mind.

While the three of them were talking, Jasper’s phone rang.

It was from Jim. Jasper quickly answered the call.

“Uncle Yapp, are there any updates from Easy Media?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Jim answered, “I just contacted them but we can only talk to them face to face depending on the situation. It seems that they don’t really want to talk to us! What do you think?”

Jasper narrowed his eyes and said, “Uncle Yapp, why do you think they don’t want to talk to us?”

Jim said without hesitating, “Perhaps something is going on or perhaps they have another arrangement… Wait, are you saying that they might be in contact with Mr. Combe?”

Jasper said unenthusiastically, “Yeah. The Combes were already planning to come between us anyway. Plus, George, the man who showed up today, is not a good person. He might have talked bad

about us after we left. Or perhaps, the Combes are the local influencers of Swallow Capital. If we and the Combes both want to buy their company at the same time, who do you think they’ll decline?”

Jim was breathing urgently now. He said in a low voice, “It’s going to be very troublesome if that’s the case.”

At this moment, Jasper was the one who was comforting Jim instead. He laughed and said, “Uncle Yapp, don’t worry. As long as there isn’t a deal, we still have a chance.”

Jim said in a low voice, “The King brothers are bad cookies too. I’m afraid they might raise the price in this situation.”

“You get business from a discussion. If one raises their price, the other will make a bargain by slicing it down the middle. It’s not something unusual.”

Jim chortled and said, “Jasper, I can’t view you as a young man in his 20s sometimes. You act more like someone around Dawson and my age. You’re too calm and unflustered.”

“Because I know getting angry and anxious won’t help with our case now.”

After chatting for a while, Jasper hung up the phone.

Jasper rubbed the bridge of his nose. It did not matter if the King brothers were talking with Mr. Combe tonight or what they had already talked about. Jasper could not do anything about it now.

Jasper lifted his head to look at the two men in front of him. He was troubled when he thought about the matter with Easy Media. He said, “Hudson, Jack, you guys continue talking. I’ll go back to the hotel to rest.”

“Alright, we’ll settle this as soon as we can.”

After Jasper went back to the hotel, he took a shower and felt much more refreshed. He sat in the hotel alone to think about the purchase.

Jasper did not have many ideas about the purchase of Easy Media for now.

Jasper had no idea what their biggest competitor, Mr. Combe, was planning to do as well.
