After he went back to the manor with Sylphie, Jasper did not waste too much time and directly asked to meet with Kit this time.
Kit did not refuse Jasper’s request and the two met in the back garden of the manor.
“Mr. Kit, I don‘t have much time.”
Sitting across from Kit, Jasper went straight to the point.
Although this meeting was important, he had already wasted a lot of time. The United States stock market would open again in less than 30 hours so Jasper did not have much time to spend time with Kit.
Kit smiled and nodded. Although he was old, he was still energetic. He looked at Jasper and said, “I can understand, so let’s just get to the point.”
As they were talking, Kit poured a cup of tea for Jasper and said slowly, “I’m making my offer.”
“First, you must help Sentel Corporation and the Maynards in North America reach an agreement. In the future, the Maynards will help with Sentel Corporation’s interests in the United States.”
Jasper picked up the hot teacup, took a sip, and waited blankly for Kit’s next request.
“Second, Sentel Corporation can give up the stocks of JW Company, but in the future, Sentel must get a share of JW Company’s patents in the technology, mobile, and Internet industry for free.”
“Third, JW Company needs to pay a total of 5 billion US Dollars. Of course, this fee can be paid in installments within the next five years.”
After he said these three terms, Kit glanced at Jasper, who was drinking tea with his head down. Then, he continued, “In exchange, Sentel Corporation will enter the market when the US stock market opens the day after tomorrow. We’ll help JW Foundation fight Softwin and Wall Street capital at all costs.”
“Preliminary estimates indicate that Sentel Corporation has to invest no less than 50 billion US Dollars.”
After listening to what Kit said, Jasper laughed.
“Mr. Kit, are you kidding me?”
Jasper’s words caused a flicker in Kit’s eyes.
“I seldom make jokes with people during business negotiations.”
“Well…”
Jasper nodded and said, “Then I will also offer my terms.”
“I would like to hear the details,” Kit said.
“First, Sentel Corporation must invest at least 100 billion US Dollars to cooperate with all of JW Foundation’s movements. In other words, JW Foundation is in command of all activity.”
“Second, Sentel Corporation cannot withdraw until the cooperation is officially ended.”
“I only have two terms, and in order to give Sentel Corporation the corresponding benefits, JW Foundation promises to pay Sentel Corporation 2 billion US Dollars as labor expenses within the next five years.”
“Secondly, I can help Sentel Corporation to negotiate with the Maynards in North America, but I do not promise to help you both reach an agreement. In other words, I am just an intermediary. Whether the negotiation can be achieved depends on how much Sentel is willing to pay.”
Having said that, Jasper shrugged and smiled. Then, he said to Kit, “Mr. Kit, see, this is how you sincerely negotiate terms. When I make two requests, I will give two benefits at the same time. I offer sincere treatment to all and fair trade to both young and old alike.”
Kit laughed at the words.
