Victory in Life
Chapter 05
With the bank president doing his business directly, all procedures were completed smoothly.
The flowers Jasper received were three times that of normal flowers. This is the most premium treatment that can be applied in this small town.
Jasper didn't really care about how big the flowers he received. He just wanted to let the Commercial Bank know his financial strength.
Soon enough, something will happen in the international futures market for crude oil. As an ordinary person, it was impossible for him to go abroad to start an account and start speculating on the price of crude oil. He had to do that through his connections with the Commercial Bank.
At the same time, Commercial Bank also gave him a premium credit card with a quota of one million dollars.
If this were 20 years later, the Commercial Bank would not hand over such a card to someone with a ten million dollar cash deposit. However, this was the year 2000, and ten million dollars was enough to make Jasper a premium client at any bank out there.
Jasper was overwhelmed with mixed feelings as he looked at this card.
In his past life, all of Jasper's cards were swiped past his limits because of Penelope Hunt. At that time, he could only imagine having a credit card with a larger quota. However, now that he had achieved everything so easily, having that card didn't mean much to him anymore.
After completing the procedure, Jasper left the bank with a warm greeting from John. When hailing a taxi, he thought that it was time for him to buy a car as well. It would be too much trouble to call a taxi every day.
On the other hand, he intended to sell the house he was living in now.
If he did not, Penelope Hunt and her family would continue to harass him until the end of time. There was no way to know how far they would take things.
He wanted to buy two houses in the city. One for himself, and one for his parents.
Now that he was rich, he could bring his parents along and let them enjoy their lives!
However, buying a property requires no small amount of funds. Even though Jasper had money, he wanted to use that kind of money as his capital. He needed it to earn a large sum of money in his upcoming mission in crude oil futures trading.
If he had not mistakenly remembered, for every additional 10,000 dollars he had in capital, he would have earned a million dollars more in his future income!
With this thought in his head, Jasper found the business card given to him by John and called out the number stamped on it.
The phone calls are connected very quickly.
"Sir Laine, how can I help?”
John Jackson was delighted to receive a call from Jasper. Although the city is well developed, there are not many rich people here. Jasper was the only client John had with a cash deposit of over ten million dollars, so he needed to take his heart.
Jasper smile. “You're too polite, President Jackson. There's something I want to discuss with you" he said.
“I intend to obtain the right to open an international futures account at Commercial Bank. Can you help me do it?” She asked.
John sounded dumbfounded across the phone. The mood turned serious.
As president of Commercial Bank, he had his own way.
Furthermore, Jasper's account was tied to domestic securities accounts. He knew that Jasper might be a mysterious retail investor who became famous in the green bean futures market not long ago.
The capital from 800,000 dollars has changed to 13 million dollars within five months. That was a miracle.
However, he did not expect that this mysterious retail investor that made many people curious was actually intending to trade international stocks.
If this goes well, he won't have to worry about his performance this year.
“It won't be a problem. We also run such a business.”
"Raw oil!"
Jasper smile. No need to hide it from John. In addition, he must sign a contract regarding the type of product he wants to trade when he opens an account. Commercial banks will eventually find out.
Although John knew that Jasper was someone who managed to turn things around in the domestic futures market, breaking into the international futures market was no trivial matter!
However, as soon as he heard that Jasper's target was crude oil, John's heart jolted.
As a strategic supply, crude oil was not something that ordinary people could hold onto!
Jasper meant to do too much. In addition, all major countries in the world are interested in crude oil. Who would venture to speculate the price of crude oil without daring to do so?
The next day, Jasper appeared at the Commercial Bank after the bank opened.
This time, it was John himself who had been waiting for him at the door.
Compared to their first meeting, they were now much more familiar with each other.
John sincerely wants to keep a big client like Jasper. Jasper is also happy to maintain good relations with the current district branch president. After all, he would become the future president of the city district and become the second person in the provincial district.
Networking is just as important when one is making money.
After talking to Jasper, John's admiration for him grows. Jasper was only in his early 20s, but the man had amassed an incredible fortune.
A determined young man would act arrogantly no matter how much he tried to hide it. However, John could not detect such arrogance and oppression from Jasper.
However, how did John know that Jasper had lived two lives? The man had far more experience than him. The levity of his youth has long been forged in the warmth and coldness of his past life.
Now that they were more familiar with each other, instead of calling each other with formalities like 'Mr Laine' or 'President Jackson', they called each other 'Jasp' and 'John'.
In the meeting room, Jasper smiled and took a sip of earl grey tea. “John, I'm an impatient man. If the procedure is no problem, I plan to finish today,”.
"No problem. Commercial banks have specialized agents to handle international futures markets, including currency exchanges and agent trades. Everything is available,” John promises him.
As he spoke, John picked up the phone at the office desk and called a number. After exchanging two sentences with someone else, he hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, John chuckled and looked at Jasper with a meaningful gaze. “Jasp, international futures account opening this time is done by a securities company under Bank Commercial. Therefore, I have arranged a personal assistant for you. He will listen to your instructions at all times. She is famous for her beauty in this industry,” she said.
Jasper didn't expect John to play this card. Just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door of the meeting room.
A woman dressed in a black suit came in.
That woman is so beautiful. He was tall, slender, and his body was notched with smooth and pale skin. His eyes were bright while his teeth were brilliant white. That sight alone made one's heart beat fast.
Most importantly, the woman had a perfect aura. He looked smart and capable, but he also gave a soothing gentleness at the same time.
Such a woman would be the center of everyone's attention no matter where she went.
Jasper was also dumbfounded, but he was not interested in her beauty. That woman was someone he knew very well.
Wendy Schuler's!
