Life at The Top novel Chapter 103

After exchanging some conventional greetings with the person in charge of the auction over the phone, Jasper finally ended the call.

“When are you going to visit the Laws?” Dawson asked.

“It’s better now than never.”

Jasper pondered for a while. “They’ve shown enough sincerity, after all, so I’d better go over and do something as soon as possible.”

…

In the presidential suite of Sheraton, Jasper met Zachary once again.

“Mr. Law.” When Jasper saw Zachary walking out of the room, he got up and greeted him.

Zachary smiled and gestured to Jasper to sit. Then, he said, “Young man, we’re going back to Harbor City tomorrow.”

Jasper asked, “Has the investment agreement been confirmed?”

“If you’re the one with the land development rights, then yes, it has,” Zachary said with a grin.

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

“This is not even me helping you out. The situation in Mainland is not the same as in Harbor City. Even though we’ve invested here before, the central core would still be Harbor City. As such, we still have to work together with a local developer with a much larger strength in this project to have peace of mind.

“Meanwhile, the Schulers are considered to be a pretty strong company in the province, so I’m not worried.”

“Mr. Law.” Jasper was silent for a moment before saying suddenly, “I’ve been planning to go to Harbor City for a while because I think after the bubble burst in the real estate market in Harbor City three years ago, the current market situation is in a slump. It’s the best time for bottom fishing.”

At the time of the handover, under the malicious manipulation of the authorities, they had planned to make Somerland take over Harbor City which was now left in ruins and had been squeezed dry.

It was because ten years ago, the real estate market in Harbor City had been flourishing.

Almost all of the rich families and millionaires in Harbor City were dealing with the real estate industry.

In addition to that, the Laws were nicknamed God of Land in Harbor City.

The main reason this happened was that the authorities wanted to suck their blood dry. They wanted to converge all of the capital in Harbor City to the real estate industry before drawing all of them out.

It could be said that they stole all of the savings Harbor City saved up for decades and only left Somerland with the ruins.

However, although they did not have complete success because of a lot of reasons, the real estate in Harbor City completely ruptured and broke out that year.

That was the rule of the economy, and nobody could stop it from happening.

As such, the current housing prices in Harbor City were no different from cabbages to Jasper.

After Zachary heard that, he smiled and said, “Young man, it’s impossible to dabble in the real estate industry in Harbor City if you don’t have the capital.”

Jasper smiled and said, “Indeed. Judging from my current assets, it’s indeed not enough to dabble in the real estate industry in Harbor City.”

After adding up all of the money Jasper had right now, he might be able to buy a normal piece of land in Harbor City with a decent location. That was it.

After all, Harbor City was indeed the economic center in the east currently. The pre-flourishing real estate prices in Mainland could not compare to that of Harbor City.
