"We can't allow any accidents for this auction."
Zayden remembers the phone call he received from Sylva before he left the house.
Entrepreneurs from Harbor City had high hopes on them, and since they already had their support, the Hanks family had raised most of their liquid funds for this.
Zayden had a large number of bargaining chips in his hands.
His dignity did not allow him to lose. Even though 1.5 M was out of his budget, he was furious as he moved his teeth and shouted, "1.5 Billion!"
Zayden's expression was almost evil.
Everyone's jaws gaped as they took a breath.
At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their heads. The Hanks family did not treat money like money.
"1.5 billion! Is there any more?1.5 Billion once!"
The voice of the host began to sound excited.
"1.5 billion twice!"
Zayden chuckled and said to Jasper almost unnaturally, "Continue. Why don't you raise the price? Huh huh? Come on if you have the guts! I can't believe you have the money to bid up to two billion!"
On the stage, Zachary turned his head and asked the person next to him,. "Who is the one who bid for 1.2 M?"
Immediately, someone bowed next to his ear and said respectfully, "Master Laine, he's from JW Real Estate and is in the Schuler family."
Zachary nodded and looked at Jasper deeply. Then, he said meaningfully, "This young man is quite interesting."
Henry approached him and said to Zachary, "The father of another man named Zayden Hanks. I told you about him before. The young man you mentioned earlier was clearly afraid of Zayden's rising offer. How unpromising. He's scared just by this."
Zachary said in a mocking voice, "He was just playing with her. Can't you see that?"
Henry's expression froze.
"Only with one sentence, he made the person you recommended pay an extra 500 million. If you have half of his skills, then I don't have to come here alone" Zachary said
"Sorry, Dad," said Henry, his face darkened.
"1.5 billion! Sold! we have reached an agreement. Congratulations to Hanks Investment Co., Ltd. on the offer won!"
The host is hammering. Once the hammer is rung, it indicates there will be no amendment.
Everyone sighed, and some sighed sadly.
The Hanks family is strong.
Zayden laughed out loud, and Jasper fell silent.
"You useless trash, why don't you raise the price? I told you you were useless. Didn't Dawson give you enough money?" Zayden chuckled and said.
"Right, Dawson couldn't spend so much money either. Do you think you can calm down and live your life without worrying after finding a rich wife? Let me tell you today that you're nothing compared to me, you scum!" zayden said while laughing out loud.
Jasper was silent. His interest in playing around with Zayden was long gone.
To him, Zayden was no different from the dog that was barking at the moment.
At this moment, Zachary and his group got up to leave now that the auction was over.
When everyone at the auction was about to leave, Jasper suddenly got up and walked towards Zachary and his group.
"Stop!"
Law's Family Guards quickly jumped up to stop Jasper. They looked at him carefully.
'Mr. Law, I want to talk to you."
++
However, it was as if Zachary had not heard of it and was already up to leave.
"Jasper, are you crazy? Who do you think you are? You even want to talk to Mr Law? Fuck if you don't have any money! Who wants to talk to you?" zayden said while laughing crazily.
Jasper doesn't care about Zayden acting like a mad dog right now. At this critical moment, Jasper looked at Anna and said, "Miss Law, just think of this as me indebted to you."
Anna frowned. He did not understand what Jasper was trying to do, but for some reason, he grabbed his father.
"Dad, let's hear what he's saying."
Zachary looked at his daughter in wonder. Then, he turned his gaze to Jasper and said, "Young man, I'm just a spectator for this auction. There's no point in talking to me."
"The fact that the hammer has fallen for this auction, but I want to talk to you about other businesses" Jasper said confidently.
On the other hand, Henry felt annoyed that he was lectured by his father earlier because of Jasper. Therefore, he immediately said, "What kind of big business? Stop wasting our time. Go."
"Henry, I haven't spoken yet, so why are you interrupting?" anna said frankly.
Henry's angry. He did not expect an outsider like Jasper to cause him to be lectured by his father and younger sister to roll his eyes at him.
However, even if he was a boy, he had actually been afraid of his extremely tough little sister ever since he was young. He also knew that his position in his father's heart could not compare to his younger sister's, so he closed his mouth quickly.
"Young man, you have good skills. Why don't we do this? I'll get in the car and go back to the hotel. You can talk to me during the trip." After Zachary said that, he walked forward.
Jasper followed him, and this time, the guards did not stop him.
Anna gave Jasper her seat so that Jasper could sit with his father.
Jasper looked at him with appreciation and said, "Master Law, who is rich and powerful in the city of Harbor among others, but to me, the Law family is the only great person."
Jasper didn't put butter on Zachary at all when he said that.
Mr. Law's predecessor was an honest man. Back when Harbor City returned to Mainland sovereignty, due to the Law family's full support, they were beaten by the authorities so all they got was some heavy business and no longer profitable.
However, Mr. Law's predecessor carried everything on his shoulders.
After the handover, Mr. Law's predecessor was the first to return to the mainland for investment. Basically, he focused on the welfare of the people and infrastructure. His first consideration was not profit but improvement of everyone's living conditions.
Based on this alone, Mr. Law was a senior that Jasper respected no matter in this life or his previous life.
After Zachary heard it, he chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but is this related to what you wanted to tell me? I'm sorry, but you don't have much time."
"Lord Law, I can help you get back the nine billion dollars your family lost during the financial crisis in the year of handover!"
After he said this, Zachary stopped. The three family members turned their eyes towards Jasper.
Even the expression of the city hall leader standing beside them changed.
'Jasper Laine, what nonsense are you spouting? it's easy to talk big, but if you can't do it and upset the Law family, then it would be an inappropriate catastrophe.'
However, Jasper's expression did not change. He stared straight into Zachary's checking eyes without giving up.
After the surrender, the Terra financial crisis hit the Southeast Terra and many countries suffered terrible losses. Although Harbor City depended on the mainland, so they did not suffer much loss, the Law family lost nearly tens of billions of dollars to save the Harbor city economy.
Due to this loss, the Law family was slightly worse off than the four big influential families of today.
Plus, it would be very difficult for them to catch up.
Although the Law family did not regret this, they knew the pain they were experiencing.
However, Jasper now said he could save them from this crisis and Zachary could not help but feel touched.
"Young man, do you know what will happen if you break your promise?" Zachary asked.
Jasper approached Zachary's ear and whispered, "Master Law, I was the individual shareholder for crude futures at the time."
Finally, there was a change in Zachary's expression.
