Life at The Top novel Chapter 1289

Not really.

Jasper was in a great mood as he rode back to the hotel. There was a reason why JW Capital only did angel investments and had rarely been involved in the country’s securities financial market.

This was because JW Capital, whom Jasper was the majority shareholder of, did not have a financial license.

It was almost impossible to get such a thing.

Most importantly, there was no way anyone could get their hands on it without the support of state funds. Supervision over this licensing would only be founded slightly later on, after 2008.

Jasper could involve himself in the securities market secretly, and like a majority of financial companies, the government would normally turn a blind eye.

However, Jasper did not plan to take this risk. Fortunately, while he was picking up scraps in Tefa City, he had managed to come across this license.

He had hit jackpot with this opportunity.

Forget 100 million, Jasper would be willing to pay 500 million for this company and license.

However, Jasper was now curious about why Downstream Investments had a license this time despite it not having one during his past life.

Jasper had no idea of what had changed in these two timelines. He had just gotten back to the hotel when Baz arrived
soon after.

“It’s done, Mr. Laine!” Baz was still extremely excited.

It had cost 100 million.

While it was not his money, Baz still felt extremely giddy to be the one to call out the price. It was a great feeling.

“Scott didn’t raise the price?” Jasper asked.

Baz laughed out loud and replied, “Raise the price? Mr. Laine, you didn’t see how sour he looked then. It’s like he swallowed a fly. 100 million crushed him completely, he doesn’t have enough money to raise the price even if he wanted to.”

“That’s good, then,” Jasper nodded and said in satisfaction.

After the excitement passed, Baz sat down and said, “Mr. Laine, I originally thought that we’d be able to acquire this business for around 10 million, but we ended up spending 100 million. I’m afraid we’d make a loss.”
