Was the little prince worried about the current situation?
He would be lying if he said he was not worried.
If he agreed right after Jasper said something about the righteousness of the nation like a hothead, then the Royals from Waterhoof City would be done for when it was time for the little prince to take over.
None of those people who were at the top of society were ordinary folks.
This was true for both individuals and families. Even the little prince, as the successor who was carefully cultivated by the top family, the Royals, received the most elite education from an early age.
When ordinary children were still learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry in their five years of senior-year exam modules, he had already begun to receive the most comprehensive tactical education.
With the environment and resources provided by the Royals, even a common dog could be educated into an elite canine with a Ph.D.
What more for someone like the little prince who was already extremely smart. These were the reasons why the little prince was more aware of the risks and benefits surrounding this matter.
If it was done well, not only would they make a lot of money, they would also get on Swallow Capital’s good side. This intangible benefit was very important for the little prince.
Being able to show the right ability at the right time was what the little prince had long been seeking to do. However, this argument was based on the premise that this strategy was executed well.
If they messed this up and the money was gone, they would have to bear the consequences.
The consequences of this were not just monetary loss. Therefore, the little prince had made plans to pull out. This was why he was so annoyed when he learned that the United States stock market was closed, which made him unable to withdraw even if he wanted to.
It was not so much a tantrum at Jasper, but a tantrum at the unscrupulous and shameless ways of the United States.
“If you want a negotiation between businessmen, then it will be much easier.”
Jasper stared at the little prince with a heated gaze.
“Nothing changes when it comes to the funds. I will do what I need to do. What I need is your full support when things heat up.”
The little prince looked over coldly, and Jasper seemed to know what he wanted to ask. Hence, he proactively continued, “Including, but not limited to, all-around support from financial contacts and public opinion.”
“Tch.” The little prince chuckled and said, “What wishful thinking. No way…”
As they were talking, the little prince frowned slightly and glanced at Jasper. Then, he said in a friendlier tone, “This is not the first time you have encountered a family like us, so you understand the way we work.
“I’ll tell you directly now. I’m not the one rejecting you, but right now, I can’t mobilize so much of the family’s resources to help you. Even my old man wouldn’t do this.”
“There are a lot of rules in a family and we Royals have even more of them. If not, the Royals would be finished.”
“I understand.” Jasper nodded. He did not think that the little prince was lying to him.
