Life at The Top novel Chapter 1684

Jasper said flatly, “Mr. Reynoldson, I think you haven‘t realized the situation. Our meeting is a fact, and it is also a fact that I intend to acquire Nokia. Since they are all facts, I didn’t fabricate any content. It’s just that the media got hold of the news, so what explanation do I need to give you?”

“If even that requires an explanation, then how do you explain you coming here to seek me out now?”

Reynoldson was furious. He replied, “Do you know how much pressure the board of directors and shareholder meetings put on me over the past ten hours? They all think that I colluded with you to sell the greatest national brand in Finland.”

“What a joke. You are just a high end wage earner. Even if you have some shares on hand, they are only a small minority. If I wanted to collude with someone, it’d be with the major shareholders on the board of directors. Why would I collude with you?” Jasper asked rhetorically.

Reynoldson was taken aback, and his face turned purple from resentment.

“Then why did you come to me last time?” Reynoldson asked.

“For a chat, of course. It was to determine whether I would succeed or not. It’ll be great if there was a chance for cooperation, but it’s fine if there wasn’t.”

Jasper shrugged.

At this moment, Jasper was a hoodlum from the east in Reynoldson’s eyes.

“Laine, I don’ t know if this is your negotiation strategy, but I must tell you that if you do this, it will only make your chances of success even slimmer.”

Reynoldson calmed his burning rage. He looked at Jasper calmly and said, “It is difficult for foreigners to understand what Nokia means to the Finnish citizens. Maybe there are some possibilities for you to acquire Nokia if you keep a low profile and pass through all the necessary levels.”
