“Mr. Laine, you’ve been really close to the Laws recently. You guys must be planning something together. No matter what you are planning, you have to count me in as well!”
Jasper raised his brow at Michael’s words.
Logically, the first thought that came into Jasper’s mind was that Zachary Law must have told Michael something.
However, Jasper immediately snuffed out the possibility of something like that happening.
From a business perspective, Zachary had a position that ranked higher than everyone present here. Even if he had a good personal relationship with Michael and wanted him to join his side, he would not just disregard Jasper and tell Michael everything.
For now, the fact that he was working together with the Laws was absolutely confidential.
It was impossible for Zachary not to understand the risks of involving more people in their plans. If something like that were to be exposed to the outside world, especially by someone from the Law family, it would definitely bring forth consequential impacts to the finances of Harbor City.
Therefore, as long as Zachary did not do anything foolish, it was impossible for the outside world to know anything about their plan.
“Don’t overthink. It was easy for me to guess. You made your fortune in the stock market, and everything that you have recently done in Harbor City revolved around the stock market. At the same time, Zachary has been rather active nowadays. It is obvious that a major event is about to take place.
“These aren’t secrets. Those who are observant can easily realize this if they pay a little attention. However, they lack the core contextual information, so they don’t understand the common goal that underlies your individual actions.
“In the beginning, I didn’t get it as well. However, after hearing what you said just now, I immediately understood. The downfall of the Internet economic bubble is a disaster for most, but if you managed to predict it and made arrangements beforehand, it would be a celebration of wealth and capital.
“You have the abilities, and Zachary has the funds. That’s enough to create an impact in the capital sector of Harbor City.”
Jasper nodded after Michael finished speaking.
Sure enough, someone who had managed to make a name for himself in a place full of powerful, influential people like Harbor City was not simple-minded at all.
Since Michael had already seen through their facade, there was no need for Jasper to continue hiding it from him.
“This condition is acceptable, but there’s something that you must do, Mr. Lane. Otherwise, there’s nothing more for us to discuss,” Jasper said.
“Say it,” Michael said with a grin. He was overcome with relief after Jasper agreed to his proposition.
