“Yes, I do have plans to bring over a team to conduct the research alongside them.
“I’m prepared to invest astronomical amounts into this. This is going to be a magnificent thing if we succeed. It’ll mean that JW Electronics broke through the technology blockade and will mark a turning point in which JW Electronics can finally make its way toward the international market.
“Alright. Thank’s for your trouble putting, Uncle Law. I’ll take a trip to Waterhoof City immediately to contact them.”
Hanging up the phone, Jasper had just stood to leave the room when his phone rang again.
This caught Jasper off guard as the phone call was from Gale, who Jasper had not talked to in a long time.
“Old Master Hurlbutt, is there a reason you’ve taken time out of your busy schedule to talk to me today?”
While Gale and Old Master Law were elders of the same generation, Jasper made sure to maintain enough distance with this crafty Haddock businessman that liked to look down on the younger generation for their lack of experience.
Crafty businessmen like him were ruthless, and they left no remains when they devoured others whole.
Take Conrad’s aluminum mine that Jasper had tried hard to seize before for example.
It was an aluminum mine without too much developmental value, yet Gale had spent quite a bit of money to get it through Jasper.
Jasper remembered being confused as to why the old man would spend so much when there was not much to profits to be made from it. Even if Gale had gained ownership of the aluminum mine, he would still have to deduct inflation and interest from the remaining extractable ores.
He did not know why Gale was so stubborn about the aluminum mine.
However, what the old man did with the mine afterward completely stunned Jasper.
It also taught Jasper the difference between himself and this crafty businessman.
