Victory in Life
Chapter 675
Mr. Powers' expression changed hearing Jasper's indifferent speech.
Jasper only said that he wanted to buy a piece of industrial land, but he never said anything about building a factory.
The Reed City Government has also conducted a background check on Jasper.
They knew that Jasper primarily traded real estate and finance. He never took part in the construction of any industrial plant.
That is why the city government believes that Jasper came to buy a piece of industrial land just to wait for its value to rise or else. They never thought that it was to build a factory.
While the Reed City government really
appreciating the amount that Jasper wanted to invest, it has now become a 200 million Somer Dollar business transaction. The city of Reed needed funds to further develop as well.
They just didn't expect such a large number.
Since Jasper gave such news all of a sudden, master Powers knew that he had to make proper preparations now.
He was well aware that if Jasper's remarks came true, then a total investment of at least 700 million in a plot of land and an electronics factory in Reed City would be a very important business.
Ignoring the annual tax received, the most important part of this transaction is the increase in the employment quota, and furthermore, the increase in businesses in the surrounding area.
It was normal to have 5,000 to 6,000 workers per factory.
Open positions for 5,000 to 6,000 workers also mean an exponential increase in the profits of the food and beverage, transportation, and shopping industries around the area.
Not to mention with such a large factory, one would always need to buy components. That means that upstream and downstream companies will also shift closer to their core clients to reduce shipping and production costs.
The chain reaction caused by the Jasper plant would easily turn it into an important weight that would greatly affect the future development of Reed City.
Jasper waved at him with a smile. "Please, Mr. Powers. I'm still discussing it with some other cities as well, so take your time."
Despite knowing that Jasper was trying to raise the price, mister Powers had no other choice but to smile.
There's no reason to look anywhere else, Mr. Laine, because you're already here and you like this piece of land. Give me a little time. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."
Jasper smiled and glanced at the meeting room. "Then can you tell me too, Mr Powers?"
"Please, lord Laine," master Powers spoke politely.
"I came to Reed City to invest, and while I came to make money, I was also very willing to help drive economic development. I came to seek legal money through legal channels, not to be treated unfairly and forced to deal with the attitudes of others."
Then, Jasper smiled at Mr. Powers who looked somewhat embarrassed. "Don't let me bother you again, Mr. Powers. I'm going in now."
Then, Jasper turned around and walked carefully with Julian behind him.
Mr. Powers felt sad when he saw Jasper leave.
Chad was afraid that Mr. Powers did not like Jasper because of this and spoke carefully, "About that, Mr. Powers, I was there when Marcus looked for him yesterday. To be honest, I'd be long gone if I was in his position. It's understandable why he's angry."
Mr. Powers nodded slowly. "good. I'll report this to the boss first while you go and talk to him. Keep him here and interested. The higher-ups will be very interested in this."
Marcus had not arrived when Jasper had arrived, but two other Real Estate companies called in for formality had sent their representatives. These representatives were the ones who were currently glaring at Jasper.
As far as they were concerned, Jasper was just an outsider that Marcus had to evict from Reed City. He is not worth their time to socialize and get acquainted.
