Life at The Top novel Chapter 120

“Jasper, I heard you started an investment company in Mainland?“

After Old Master Law had gone upstairs to have a rest, Zachary took Jasper for a walk in the backyard and asked the latter casually.

Jasper was not surprised that Zachary knew about this.

After all, investigating his background would be an effortless task for the Law family and their capabilities.

“My capabilities are limited and I can’t perform specific tasks, so I can only provide the money and let the professionals do what the professionals do best,” Jasper smiled and said.

Zachary laughed and then said, “The lower-class work using effort, the middle-class work using talent, and the upper-class work using people.”

Jasper chuckled and said, “In fact, in my opinion, this is a golden age, especially in Mainland where opportunities are everywhere. Start a little earlier and you may have some preemptive opportunities in the future.”

Zachary nodded and said, “Your investment company has invested in an internet company called Terizone Inc.. You seem to be very optimistic about the internet industry?”

Jasper nodded. “The internet is the general trend of the future. This is what the generation has chosen.”

Zachary did not comment on that.

Jasper knew very well that all the rich and powerful in Harbor City of today were still sticking to traditional industries apart from a few others.

It was not that traditional industries did not make money, but these people had become accustomed to cultivating deeply in the field they were good at.

They did not understand the internet, nor were they optimistic about it.

The issue of the rich having limited vision was not exclusive to Harbor City. It was the same in many places.

“The present performance of the internet companies in the stock market indeed makes people green with envy,” Zachary said.

“The Law family also has some investments in Harbor City’s stocks, but the current turmoil in Harbor City’s stocks has been treacherous and the market is a bit unpredictable. Several recent investments have failed, and comments against the Law family from the outside world are uproarious, which is very troublesome.”

Jasper immediately recalled something about the Law family from the memory of his previous life.

In his previous life, the Law family at this time had suffered a loss of nine billion as well and had been looking for opportunities to earn back what they had lost.

However, matters in the financial world could never be done in a hurry.

The Law family had made several investments. Although there were gains and losses and still a slight profit overall, it was not worth mentioning when compared to their investments and the risks taken.

For example, if one earned 10,000 from spending a million while risking the possible loss of half a million, should one really think that such an investment was successful?

It was without a doubt, a failure.

That was because the cost and risks were too high and not worth the profits.

Furthermore, according to the timeline, the Law family should have bought Hansel Index by now.

This was the Law family’s last financial investment because they had lost 800 million at once in this investment.
