Jasper’s confidence came from none other than the advantage of having the memory of his reincarnation.
Harbor City was a very special area. It had been under the colonization of the United Kingdom for a long time. Although it had been four years since the Handover, its socio-economic system had not changed much under the two systems policy.
Harbor City had always taken the capital development route. Its telecommunications industry allowed private capital to enter.
At present, there were three giants in Harbor City’s telecommunications industry. Two of them had backgrounds from the United Kingdom capitalists and the other belonged to Half-the-Harbor Langdon.
Now that it had returned to the sovereignty of the mainland, although the telecommunications industry had not cleared away all private capital, through
the imperceptible innuence, new private capital was barred from entering henceforth.
However, in a bill to amend the regulations that would appear in seven months time, it was emphasized that Harbor City’s telecommunications industry allowed and encouraged the entry of fresh private capital.
In later generations, this was regarded as an attempt by the mainland to reform the company system by listing monopolistic companies in state-owned telecommunications industries such as Somerland Telecom and Nobile.
Still, Jasper did not want to care meaning behind this move by the mainland and Harbor City officials.
The only thing he cared about was getting the support of the Finland National Telecommunications Group without giving up anything.
“Why should I believe you?” Simon asked, staring at Jasper with wide eyes.
Jasper smiled and said, “Mr. Simon, when
someone is in our positions do we need to
use lies to deceive each other? How long can such lies be hidden?”
Simon said coldly, “If there is no
guarantee, I can’t cooperate with you.”
“How can I give you a guarantee on this highest level of policy? Do you think I am the head of our country?”
Jasper shook his head and replied, “But I can sign a VAM with you. As long as Finland National Telecommunications Group is willing to sell me the 11% Nokia shares you hold, I promise to help you enter the Harbor City telecommunications industry within 1 year.
“If I can’t do this within one year, then Finland National Telecommunications Group will get all the property of JW Capital in Finland, including all its shares of Nokia.”
Upon hearing what Jasper said, even Brayson was looking at Jasper like he was looking at an alien, let alone Simon.
Either Jasper was a lunatic for daring to agree to this VAM, or Jasper was 100% sure that this could be done.
However, how could Jasper, who was no longer worth ordinary figures, be a lunatic if he was able to sit here?
Hence, it could only be the latter.
Simon did not say a word, but he was obviously moved by Jasper’s condition.
Jasper saw this and smiled. Then, he said t o Simon, “Mr. Simon, there is nothing in this world that is more exciting than success.
“According to the laws of Finland, you are about to retire in another year. Someone has been eying your position, right? I heard that your nephew also works in the National Telecommunications Group, correct?
“If you can promote the business of the Finland National Telecommunications Group to Harbor City before you retire, or even to the mainland, then your opinion regarding the next chairman or the next president will be extremely important when you retire.
“And your name will inevitably be
remembered by everyone forever as
Finland National rerecommunications
Group grows.”
