“First, I need the Maynards to do their best to stop the passing of the motion of a complete lockdown or even confiscation o fJW Foundation’s capital funds during the Washington Congress.”
Alan nodded without any hesitation to the first condition that Jasper made.
“No problem with that,”
Stopping the passing of a motion was way easier than pushing one to pass. Besides, this would inevitably have huge backlash from the international community, so it would get objected no matter what.
Which was why this was not something too difficult for the Maynards.
“Secondly, I need the Maynards to fully push for the passing of the motion to liberalize the restrictions on offshore capital.
“This is extremely important as I can only complete my plan better with enough fund scheduling authority.”
Alan frowned slightly and nodded after hesitating for a while. “I guess I can promise you this as well.”
“Finally, I hope that the Maynards can help to push for the passing of the motion to lift all restrictions on the capital funding of Somerland in the entire United States. Meaning, to no longer restrict Somerland companies in controlling companies in the States.”
Alan replied solemnly upon hearing this, Jasper, are you assuming that I own Washington? Or do you think that members of the parliament all go by the surname of Maynard?
“This kind of motion is absolutely impossible to pass. It involves the most basic political stance and political attitude of the United States, and even involves the ideological struggle between the East and the West. So don’t even think about it. The United States will never be able to lift the restrictions on Somerland companies.”
Jasper was not surprised by Alan’s
rejection.
He never expected him to agree to this
since the start anyways.
Just like what Alan had mentioned before, this would influence the entire political stance of the United States and it would be impossible to change just because of one person or one party.
“At the very least, I’d like the United States officials to stop going against Google. That’s mine.” Jasper then threw out his true intention.
Alan frowned and said, “Google? I’ve never heard of it.
“But since it’s just a company, I can settle that for you.
“Now that you’ve finished talking about your 3 conditions, let’s talk about what you can bring to us.”
Jasper smiled and said, “The upcoming steps and procedures will be sent to the Maynards through Celine.
“Almost immediately, I will become one o
f the most hated people in the United States because I will beat the country
painfully. Patriarch Maynard, you are able
to know every move that I’ll make in advance. It’s going to be a piece of cake for you if you wish to gain any benefits from it, no?”
Alan stared into Jasper deeply and said, ” Throughout today’s discussion, I was indeed happy that I forced Celine to make the right decision back then.”
Such a vague statement made Jasper
confused.
“Didn’t she tell you anything?” Alan Maynard was a cunning fox from all
aspects, and he managed to see through
Jasper’s expression.
“About what?” Jasper seemed to have noticed something important, but there was too little context and he had no idea about what Celine was hiding from him.
“Do you think that the Maynard family owns a charity? Think of all the things she has done for you and the resources she used on you. What makes you think that she’s able to do all these when she’s just m y daughter? Even I, as the patriarch of the family, am not able to touch the family
resources that easily.”
A trace of anger appeared on Alan’s face, h e then said coldly, “I guess she will tell you when the time comes. That’s all for today then, I look forward to your good news.”
With that, the video conference ended.
Jasper frowned. Although the most
important problem was settled and he
managed to draw the Maynard family of
North America to his side, a bigger issue
now arose.
‘What is Celine hiding from me?
‘It seems that every time Celine uses the
