Everyone knew that money could buy many things, but some things could not be bought with just money. Not when the premium reached a certain point.

For example, the stocks in Langdon’s foundation that by Wallace Langdon created could not be measured with the market price. It was because the Langdon family would not sell their shares.

It was like if someone came to buy the JW’s shares, Jasper would probably answer them with a simple sentence f*ck off. This was not about the money, but the title of the core assets could not ever be put at risks.

It was not much with 3.5% of the shares, not enough to influence any decisions made by the Langdon family.

However, it would forever be a thorn that was embedded deep within the Langdon family’s decision. Usually, a chance like this would never surface, but the opportunity was now presenting itself to Jasper.

“Don’t you want it?” Jasper asked.

It seemed like Conrad had expected Jasper to ask something like this, as he replied honestly, “If you’re in my position, would you take it?”

“The ones that are truly interested are the ones who can talk to the Langdon family, and clearly, I’m no such person. That’s why I’m thinking of selling it to you as a favor.”

The point was, it would be useless even if Jasper took it. He was not interested in the Langdon family’s assets. The Langdon family’s assets were all over the Golden Peninsula. They made their fortune through producing rubber, and were one of the five biggest rubber making companies. With this commodity as their core, they spread out to property, logistics, construction, and financial securities, and other markets.

Holding shares of the Langdon family was stepping on the Langdon family‘s tail, there was no doubt that the family would turn against him.

Considering all this, the benefits were low while the short term riskwas too high. Although the long term returns were good, it required too much investment, which did not make it worthwhile.

However, Jasper was still interested in it.

As Jasper thought of the reasons why it would be trouble for him to hold the shares, he realized that these problems would not exist to other individuals. Jasper unconsciously looked at Henry who was not far away as he excitedly bragged on the phone.

Conrad’s voice interrupted his thoughts.

“It’s your business whether or not you regard it as a hot potato. Now you’ll only have to give me an answer, do you want shares or not?”

“Do I have to pay for it?” Jasper asked.

“Easy, 3 billion Harbor Dollars. These are not for me, they’re for Mitch.”
