Victory in Life
Chapter 368
Jasper meets Hector, who waits patiently for him in the hotel reception room.
"What's going on?" Jasper got straight to the point.
"Sebastian Walker is dead" Hector said in a polite tone.
Jasper just found out about this news. He frowned and asked, "He just died? Is that suicide?"
"Yes, I received the news half an hour ago. The body must have been transported to the morgue by now" Hector replied
"What a weak man" Jasper commented. "Because he's dead, let it be. What does this have to do with what you told me?" She asked.
"I didn't expect him to kill himself. I don't think he wants to feel tormented. After receiving this news, I realized that we can do a lot in this situation," Hector replied hurriedly.
"Previously, Sebastian Walker held all shares of the company on behalf of distant relatives last year to avoid the risk of borrowing. I know that relative. He listened to our orders well. Now that Sebastian is dead, Kaymaroon is wholly possessed by him in the nominal sense."
Hector's gaze flashed with glee as he lowered his voice and said, "I can transfer all those shares in your name, Mr. Laine."
Jasper sat on the sofa and looked at Hector with a faint smile on his lips. "Kaymaroon's market value is about 4 billion dollars. Although now wrapped in debt, there will be at least 2 billion assets remaining after paying off the debt. Are you just gonna give it to him? Aren't you tempted yourself?" She asked.
Hector immediately explained, "We believe that maintaining a long-term cooperative relationship with Mr. Laine will bring far greater benefits than Kaymaroon."
Hector then continued in an awkward tone, "In addition, to be honest, the two of us might be able to run a company in the entertainment and media industries because of our family relationships. However, we do not know how to run the company in the supermarket industry. What's more, Kaymaroon is a large-scale enterprise."
Jasper looked at Hector without responding. He seemed to notice the truth of his words.
Hector's heart flinched as he felt Jasper's sharp gaze fixed on him.
In fact, before they came, the Combe brothers and their father had discussed the best way to deal with Kaymaroon.
The two brothers initially proposed to take the entire company for themselves. Even if they did not know how to operate it, they could still earn a lot of money by selling it.
However, this proposal was firmly opposed by Hendrik Combe.
The Combe family will benefit even more from this in the future.
Henry quickly rejected their proposal because he had far more experience than his two sons. In addition, he was in a sensitive position, so he had access to a lot of information that no one else had.
Therefore, he understood how frightening the power Jasper possessed was.
Hector also did not tell Jasper about anything more important.
Jasper just wants to take down Sebastian Walker. However, no one knew about his true intentions when it came to Kaymaroon.
If the Combe family angered Jasper by keeping Kaymaroon to themselves, what could they do?
Therefore, Hector decided to look for Jasper because of his concerns and considerations.
"I'll give you two choices" Jasper said.
Hector raised his head to look at Jasper. The burden in his heart gradually disappeared. It seemed like he had made the right move this time.
"First, I could invest 1 billion dollars to acquire Kaymaroon's shares. Although its market value is at least 2 billion dollars, it is not easy to sell the company. Since this is the case, you won't lose money."
"Secondly, you can merge the entertainment company with the names of the two of you into Easy Media, and I will allocate 30% of Easy Media shares for both of you."
Even a fool knows that it would be wise to choose the first option. It was a cash transaction where they would get money and goods.
Nevertheless, Hector replied without hesitation, "I chose the second choice!"
If he chose the first option, it would be a one-time transaction between the two parties. After the transaction, the two of them would split up.
However, things would be different if he chose stocks. The Combe family looked defeated if they took the second choice, but Hector knew that Easy Media would be one of the biggest entertainment companies in the country in the long run.
When the time comes, owning 30% of the company's shares will become very valuable.
