“Why else would you offer me 500 million to do this?” Adele said spitefully.
“Wait for my update. I have to confirm it before I can give you an answer.”
After she said that, Adele immediately hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Jasper entered Somerland’s airspace and his phone rang.
“Where are the goods now?” Adele asked directly.
“On the high seas beyond the territory of Sunrise Land,” Jasper replied.
“You were ready for this, huh?” Adele seemed to have discovered some big secret and said profoundly.
“It’s such a big matter, so naturally, it couldn’t be decided with a snap.”
Jasper smiled and said, “How is it? Can you do it?”
“At dawn tomorrow, Sunrise Central Bank will inspect the goods with someone from the insurance company. You have to arrange for someone to receive it.”
“Once the inspection is completed, the gold needs to be sealed in Sunrise Central Bank. Of course, you will still hold all ownership unless you can’t repay the loan after three months. Also, the interest rate will increase by 40%.”
Jasper frowned and asked, “40%?”
“Too much? Then I can’t help it. Our schedule is very tight so the other party used this point to demand a huge price.”
“Hehe, 3 months of interest at 40%. There’s an increase of at least tens of millions. Fine, since they dared to ask, I will dare to give it to them.”
“But Jasper, when did you buy so much gold?” Julian asked curiously.
“It started when I entered Dow Jones before. To be precise, on the first day of JW Foundation’s establishment. I bought gold futures and invested into gold at the same time.
“I bought gold from all over the world whenever it was available. Most of it was collected from the black market. The price of this batch of gold is 20% higher than the market price. However, if the plan is successful, everything will be worth it,” Jasper said softly.
“Jasper, have you been thinking about this day since way back then?” Julian was shocked.
“No, at that time, I was thinking that if I were ever defeated, this batch of gold that no one knew about would be my turnover capital. But now, there are places where it is needed more, so I am willing to offer my escape route as collateral and place it on the gaming table as a bargaining chip.”
As he was saying that, Jasper joked, “So now, you are in control of my wealth and life.”
Jasper was just joking, but Julian took it seriously. He answered solemnly, “Don‘ t worry, Jasper, as long as I am around, the gold will be in safe hands.”
