Victory in Life
Chapter 522
Ben jumping off a building is something no one ever thought possible.
Even Julian only managed to run to the edge of the fence where he saw Ben fall wide-eyed.
"Aah!"
lan whimpered loudly and heart-wrenching.
As if he had gone mad, lan was suddenly filled with unimaginable strength in such a hopeless situation. He managed to break away from the two men in uniform who were holding him back. He rushed towards the fence.
Jasper arrived too.
Both Jasper and Lan saw Ben's body freefall in the air and hit the ground hard.
There was a loud bang on impact!
Fresh blood spurted everywhere, and Ben's body splattered on the ground like a watermelon. His organs and blood exploded everywhere, up to a five-foot radius.
No normal person could bear to see such a scene.
Seeing Ben die before his eyes, Lan leaned against the fence with her mouth wide open and her skin pale.
At that moment, lan felt all the energy in her body being electrocuted. It was as if he had grown 30 years old.
"He died. He died."
lan stared at Ben's deformed body downstairs and the crowd that started to surround him. Falling down again, lan suddenly wailed.
lan did not say a word when she was finally dragged away.
It was as if his heart had died.
Jasper didn't look at him anymore.
Jasper had long spoken to Henry about this, and according to Harbor City law, he would definitely be sentenced to life. He had smuggled items of too high a value.
Luckily Harbor City has abolished his death sentence, or contraband worth 200 million will inevitably end in a shootout.
The officer took lan away. After witnessing such a huge problem arise within the company, the other employees were filled with fear. They all went looking for new ways to make a living.
However, Vita did not leave.
Instead, he walked up to Jasper and spoke in awe, "Everything has been dealt with, Mr. Laine. Like you said, lan can't fight back at all. Thank ye. If it wasn't for you, our branch would definitely be in trouble with Somer's two billion dollar loan."
Jasper smile. "It's okay. We're all just taking what we need here."
Vita laughed loudly. "You saved my life. I'd lose my job and even be put in jail if I couldn't get back a loan that big."
"Disregarding the others, you can trust me by transferring your assets to you. I promise you'll be satisfied."
Jasper shook Vita's hand and replied, "That's all I ask, to own all the Hull family assets. To the specifications of everything, I don't really care."
"But, Mr. Layne, let me know if there's a problem with asset valuation. I don't mind paying less if it means my friend can work easier."
Vita was very satisfied with Jasper's words.
Having worked in the system for so long, Vita must have been a sensitive and detailed person for her to rise to the position of office manager in charge of asset management.
Jasper has uncovered a major smuggling case involving hundreds of millions in Harbor City and destroyed the entire Hull family in the span of conversation.
The power involved in this incident was beyond what Vita dared to imagine.
Still, Jasper was far from cold and arrogant with Vita. Jasper's extreme politeness makes Vita respect Jasper even more.
While it is not uncommon for young men to be ambitious, the fact that Jasper remains humble and understanding once he achieves his ambitions shows just how boundless Jasper's future is!
Vita decides in her heart she will appreciate Jasper because the others are valuable assets. Vita smiles. "understand. I won't let you suffer any losses no matter what."
In a tacit agreement, the two rejoiced.
Returning to the hotel, Jasper sees Henry sitting with his legs crossed. She happily watched television while waiting for him.
"Done?" Henry immediately walked over when he saw Jasper entering the room.
Jasper nodded. "It's all done."
Henry clapped his hands and laughed loudly. "good. Promise me you'll let me sell the stuff in those two freighters."
Jasper replied in shock, "Of course, I made a promise to your father. But will he give it to you?"
Henry snorted and replied proudly, "Of course. Giving it to my father means giving it to me. He told me to find someone to get rid of all the stuff and we'd split the profits."
Jasper smile. "The Hull family has total assets worth 2.5 to 2.8 billion in the Mainland. After paying the loan the Hull family had, it was still 500 to 800 million. Well, at least I didn't lose anything."
Henry's eyes sparkled. "Are you interested in import and export trade?"
Jasper glanced at Henry and asked attentively, "What was your idea?"
Henry sneered. "My father promised me in Harbor City, so I started looking for people. But seriously, I just realized how good it is to trade imports and exports in Mainland. A few hundred million in a year, just like that."
Jasper replied, "No, thank you, I'm not interested. You can do it if you want, but I'm not suggesting it be too big. Something tells me that this industry might only last for two years. Profits will drop when the madness ends."
"At that time, your profits will be reduced while you need to increase your capital. You'll make a few million with a capital of a few hundred million. It's not worth it."
With memories from his past life, Jasper is well aware of the changes that will occur in the import and export trade as the country's market develops. Not to mention the competition that is getting tougher every day, running a business will be more difficult as time goes on.
That was why he never decided to dabble in the industry with such a short lifespan.
However, it was okay if Henry wanted to do so. After all, there are still profits that can be obtained even if not much.
Not to mention Henry had the support of the Law family and considerable support from all sides. If anything, he could team up with the Boyle family, a tycoon in the Harbor City shipping industry that ordinary entrepreneurs in the import and export industry could only dream of partnering with.
Henry now clung to every word Jasper.
Seeing such a reaction from Jasper, Henry was deep in thought. "certain. I'll do what you say. I will take what I can get now so that the profits can still be obtained. We'll deal with the future when the time comes."
As Jasper thinks that the case with the Hull family is over, he receives a phone call.
Gale Hurlbutt wants to see him!
