Victory in Life
Chapter 59

102-104

Zayden opened his eyes slowly in the hospital room.

The person he saw after opening his eyes was Sylva's father.

Zayden felt a heavy weight on his chest as he anxiously opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, that Jasper boy we've already..."

"I know" Sylva said calmly.

"I'm not going to back down!" Zayden gripped the bed sheet and said with clenched teeth.

"You lost everything" Sylva said in a very disappointed voice.

"The family has decided to withdraw from this auction, we will definitely lose the cash deposit, the city hall is very angry because the auction is a very big event and everyone's attention is on it, he said, but in the end we decided to cancel our offer.

"The city gave us a penalty of 200 million"

"The family will never forgive me for these 200 million and 50 million" Zayden said in a trembling voice.

"You've been in his trap since the beginning"

Sylva sighed sadly "I didn't expect that young man named Jasper to be able to move the Zachary Law, this is a huge Variable and is the key for the Schuler family to turn things around"

"I want to kill him!" Zayden gritted his teeth, he was so angry that his voice started to change.

"You have to leave the province for now" Sylva flatly said.

"Dad, you gave up on me too? Where can I go if I leave the province?" Zayden said in a hurry.

Sylva sighed and looked like she had aged a few years, She said "From the looks of it now, the Hanks family had completely fallen into an unfavorable position, The persistent Defeat had hit hard on my image, when one goes up the other falls. Your Uncle Zach's speech rights are growing now"

"You're going to Harbor?, I still have some resources and I'm going to plan your future, the Law Family has deceived the public and they have many rivals in Harbor"

Sylva looked at Zayden deeply and said "You've learned lessons one after another, so I hope you can grow out of it, There's nothing else I can do"

After she said, Sylva left the room.

Zayden widened his eyes to stare at the white ceiling and growled with a voice filled with grudges fraternity "Jasper Laine! Just wait, just wait!"

...

'The Hanks family threw a grand total of 1.5 M in auctions to acquire 16 acres of land south of the Southface River and the right to develop the southern bank intact!'

'The change of attitude of the businessman from Harbor City, in cooperation with JW Real Estate!'

'The Hanks family cancelled their offer enraged the city hall and led to a reduction of 50 million cash deposits and a fine of 200 million dollars!'

The upper class all watched the drama as a series of big news shocked the province.

There was so much news in one day and it was a rare sight.

The turn of events and the excitement of the story is not inferior to the blockbuster story.

No one could have expected that the early winner would suddenly fall at the final hurdle, instead, this meant JW Real Estate from the Schuler family had been the key to turning things around.

At the same time, Jasper was sitting in Dawson's office, he was on the phone with the person in charge of the auction.

"Oh, Uncle Jasper, you're funny, it's an honor that you're willing to transfer land and development rights to JW Real Estate"

The name of the person in charge was named Jasper as well, and was older than him, so to become closer to him, of course Jasper called him as Uncle Jasper.

"Price? Oh Uncle Jasper, you should know that I was so angry that I was confused during the auction, so I bid 1.2 M, Actually we are just a small real estate company that has just started, where are we gonna get that money?"

"I really don't dare to play you, I don't pretend to be poor but I'm really poor"

"Alright, Uncle Jasper, we'll just do whatever you say, you're busy with important things every day, so you must be very tired, we can't give you any help, we can't help you, so why are we causing you more trouble with these little things?"

"Yes, that's the price I'm offering for the third time, 710 million, that price can still apply, we definitely can't afford to pay 1.2M"

"Alright, you should get back to your business now, Uncle Jasper, I'll treat you to a meal next time"

Dawson did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Jasper fighting with the person in charge of the auction.

However, the boy was indeed skilled, he lowered 1.2 M to 710 million so cleverly.

Who else in the world could do this jam of hers?

++

After greeting the auctioneer in charge over the phone Jasper finally ended the call.

"When are you going to visit the Law Family?" ask Dawson.

*Now it's better than nothing."

Jasper pondered for a moment. "After all they have shown enough sincerity, so I'd better go and do something as soon as possible."

...

In the Sheraton presidential suite, Jasper meets Zachary once again.

"Mr Law." when Jasper saw Zachary walking out of the room, he got up and greeted him.

Zachary smiled and gestured for Jasper to sit down. Then, he said, "Young man, we'll be back in Harbor town tomorrow."

Jasper asked, "Has the investment agreement been confirmed?"

"If you have land development rights, then yes, it is" Zachary said with a smile.

Jasper said sincerely, "Thank you for your help Mr. Law."

"It's not even me helping you, the situation on the ground is not the same as in the city of Harbor. Although we have invested here before, the central core is still Harbor City. Because of this, we still have to work with local developers with much greater power in this project to gain peace of mind.

"In the meantime, the Schuler family is considered to be quite a powerful businessman in this province, so I'm not worried."

"Taun Law." Jasper was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "I have been planning to go to Harbor city for a while because in my opinion after the bubble burst in the Real Estate market in Harbor city three years ago, the market situation is currently in a slump. It's the best time to fish on the ocean floor."

At the time of the handover, under malicious manipulation from the authorities, they had planned to make somerlanders take over the now abandoned Harbor town in ruins and it had been squeezed dry.

That was because ten years ago, the real estate market in Harbor city had grown tremendously.

Almost all the rich families and millionaires in Harbor city deal with Real Estate.

In addition, the Law family was nicknamed Landlords in the town of Harbor.

The main reason this happens is because the authorities want to suck their blood dry. They wanted to unite all the capitals in the city of Harbor to the Real Estate industry before pulling it all out.

It could be said that they stole all the savings of Harbor City which was stored for decades and only left somerland with ruins.

However, even though they were not fully successful for many reasons, the real estate in the city of Harbor actually broke out at that time.

That is the rule of economics, and no one can stop it from happening.

As such, the current housing prices in Harbor city were no different than cabbage for Jasper.

After Zachary heard it, he smiled and said, "Young man, it is impossible to dabble in the Real Estate industry in Harbor city if you have no capital."

Jasper smiled and said, "Indeed. Judging from my current assets, it is not enough to dabble in the real estate industry in Harbor."

After summing up all the money Jasper had now, he might be able to buy a regular plot of land in Harbor city with a decent location.

"So, the other reason I went to Harbor was because I thought there was a big opportunity in the stock market there."

After Jasper said it, Zachary's expression became solemn.

For Zachary, however, Jasper was not a normal young man.

Jasper's identity as a mysterious individual shareholder in the international crude oil market is enough to make one dare not underestimate his opinion in the capital market.

Not everyone has the ability and guts to seize more than a billion dollars in profits from major countries around the world and large capitalists.

After returning from the auction, Zachary asked his people to look at the details of the crude futures battle.

The more he understood what was going on, the more shocked Zachary felt towards Jasper. Jasper is experienced, his foresight is very barbaric and his decisions are unshakeable.

Now, the mysterious manipulation skills of individual shareholders are a classic example by professors at financial and economic educational institutions during college.

If he had not seen this with his own eyes, Zachary would not have believed that this was done by the young man in front of him who was the same age as his children.

"I've told you about the opportunity in the Harbor city stock market. This is an opportunity to make up for the nearly tens of billions of dollars of losses your family suffered back then."

Jasper's tone sounded very confident.

Zachary looked at Jasper seriously and said in a low voice, "Are you saying that you want to create a stock market index?"

Stock market indexes are a way to invest.

For example, the stock market of the city of Harbor is called the Hansel index and it is the basis for the entire market of the city of Harbor. If the market goes up, then the Hansel index goes up as well. If the market goes down, then the Hansel index will go down.

Since the financial environment of the city of Harbor completely mimics the western environment, they can use the ups and downs of the Hansel index to trade the futures market as a whole.

Basically, they will treat the Hansel index as one of the futures products. They can leave it empty or they can make it more.

Jasper nodded and said, "There will definitely be a big market price quote in no time."

The reason Jasper was so convinced was that the dot com bubble was about to burst.

The world stock exchange will rise due to the internet economy. At the same time, internet companies will be in great demand by Stock investors.

However, once the bubble breaks, the financial crisis that engulfed the world will arrive.

Jasper couldn't tell Law's family everything for many reasons.

Zachary lowered his voice and asked, "How sure are you?"

Jasper smiled and said, "Lord Law, you should know that there is no 100% certainty in the capitalist market."

Zachary nodded and said while feeling disappointed and frustrated, "Indeed. I'm too rash. However, the law does require a quick opportunity to withdraw the currency from circulation."

"90% possible." What Jasper said froze the expression on Zachary's face.

"Wkwkwkwkwk!" Zachary laughed at Jasper, thinking he was joking with him. He said, "O young man. All right, I'll be waiting for you in Harbor. If it's like you said, then you'll be the most valuable friend to the Law family."

Jasper got up and said calmly but solemnly, "Old Sister Law is a legend all her life, and her heart is with her country all the time. As a fellow countryman, I feel proud to have a senior like him."

Zachary could feel that Jasper was saying that from his heart. He nodded and said, "I'll wait for you to come to the town of Harbor and be a guest in our house. My dad hasn't seen a guest in years. However, he would definitely want to meet such an amazing young man like you."

+++

"As a young generation, I'm happy, when I get to Harbor, I will definitely call you Mr. Law" Jasper said with a smile.

Zachary bluntly said "If you don't visit me, I'll ask someone to kidnap you and bring you to me, after all you have promised that you will make money for us"

After greeting, Jasper got up to leave.

As he exits Zachary's room, he meets Henry and Anna.

"Damn it, why did I meet this mainlander?"

When Henry saw Jasper, his face became furious and he wanted to turn around to leave.

"Stop"

Anna's words made Henry stop as if his feet had been nailed to the floor.

"How many times have I told you to honor the people from the mainland now that we're here. It's easy to offend them by calling them mainlanders, don't you know that?* Anna lectured.

Henry said impatiently "I just said it, I didn't mean it that way"

"How do they know if you didn't mean it that way? Apologize now" Anna said.

Henry widened his eyes to look at Anna and shouted "Do you feel any pain in your head? You're asking your brother to apologize to an outsider?"

"You're guilty, so you have to apologize" Anna looked at Henry coldly "Do you want to apologize or not?"

The corner of Henry's lips twitched, and he turned around reluctantly to say to Jasper, "Sorry"

That's not sincere.

However, Jasper did not mind.

He knows Henry isn't a bad guy, not only is he not bad, but he has a lot of Law's family edge on his bones.

Wh why?

That was because in his previous life, this spoiled brat from a wealthy family would marry the queen for a few years later!

When that happens, everyone in the country enjoys a lot of hot gossip.

However, Jasper did not expect that the cultured and refined young master from his previous life would be such a careless brat now, it felt as if they were two different people.

"It's okay"

Jasper looked at Anna and said "Are you going tomorrow?"

Anna nodded and said "Flight early tomorrow morning"

"So, see you in Harbor" Jasper said with a smile.

"You're going to Harbor too?" asked Anna curiously.

"Yes, but not now, I still have to wait" Jasper replied.

"Alright, see you in Harbor" Anna smiled, her beautiful feminine charms could shake someone to the point.

After saying goodbye to the two brothers, Jasper got out of the elevator.

Henry watched cunningly as his sister stared at the elevator door until it closed, then he said "Stop staring, he's gone"

Anna regained her senses and stared at Henry flatly "Do you like to interfere in my affairs?"

Henry chuckled and said "Why do I feel like you have a crush on the mainlander?"

"Do you think I'd like someone so easily?" said Anna, in a buruy mood.

"Hehehe, don't be shy, there are so many young masters chasing after you in the city of Harbor but you always give them furious faces, yet you chat and smile with this mainlander? Come on tell me, I'll make plans for you" Henry patted his chest and said.

"Do you want me to tell dad how many girls you hurt when you study abroad? If I don't solve your problems, I think your granddaughter is studying at Junior High by now, huh?" said Anna coldly.

Henry's expression froze, and soon, his attitude changed completely.
