Jasper‘s tone was calm, but it was filled with a lot of confidence.
Zachary’s expression was solemn.
After some time, Zachary finally asked, “How much funds do you need from the Law family?”
“At least 5 billion, but with no upper limit.”
Jasper’s reply had Zachary’s brow jumping again. According to what Jasper said before about amounting a total of 20 billion with Lord Alvarado and the little prince’s input, another 5 billion meant that Jasper would have 25 billion to use.
25 billion in the year 2001.
That was enough to win an economic war of an underdeveloped country!
Even in the future, when Internet companies would have valuations of tens and hundreds of billions, only people who truly worked in the industry knew that market evaluations were much more exaggerated than they ought to be.
This market value was only a number to scam retail investors of their money. Not to mention that this 25 billion now was physical money.
There were no companies or people in the world now who could take out such a large amount.
“I can give you 7 billion.” Zachary clenched his jaw as his eyes shone with a sharp glint.
Harbor City’s economy might be flourishing, but it had already shown signs of weakening.
For no other reason than the fact that Harbor City was too small and there were no more resources to continue developing.
This was also why the four richest families, lead by the Law family, were planning to further development in the mainlands. This was even though the most renowned families had long since diversified their investments to areas like Southeast Terra and the Golden Peninsula.
However, Harbor City was still where their most important roots laid, and the moment Harbor City loses all potential for future development, then the Law family would start heading on a downward trend.
There had already been signs of limited potential.
