Life at The Top novel Chapter 2005

“Haha, okay, you’ve agreed then. This is a military order, so if you can’t do it, you. will be killed.”

Jasper answered seriously, but the old man on the other end of the phone laughed heartily. In his gentle tone, it seemed like he was joking with a junior.

This kind of relaxation and cheerfulness relieved the pressure and heaviness in Jasper’s heart to a certain extent. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, at least so far, I’ve been a man of my words and I’ve not broken any promises.”

“Okay, then our conversation ends here. M

r. McNeal will contact you later.

“Good luck, kid. We are getting old and the future of this country depends on the younger generation to grow up and take over the burden.”

Jasper replied earnestly, “You must maintain good health too. State affairs are endless. If seniors and leaders like you are healthy, it’ll be the greatest wealth and support for us juniors.”

After hanging up the phone, the old man raised the phone in the spacious and solemn office again.

“It’s me.”

On the other end of the phone, Mr. McNeal said respectfully, “I’m listening.”

“Hand the social security fund to him and set the loss limit at 40%. Do it now,” the old man said.

Mr. McNeal was stunned for a moment before a storm surged in his heart.

Handing over the national social security fund to a businessman and giving him a 4 0% loss limit was almost equivalent to confirming that Jasper’s value was more important to Swallow Capital than the 40 % social security fund.

What kind of honor was this?

And what kind of risk would there be?

At this moment, Mr. McNeal, who had seen all kinds of great upheavals, was somewhat envious of Jasper even though h e had been working in the system for most of his life.

No one had been able to enjoy this kind of honor since the founding of the country.

Jasper was the first.

However, as the person directly in charge of this business, Mr. McNeal still said, ” Isn’t this too risky? Once we really reach. the loss limit, I am afraid it will cause a very bad reaction.”

“The experience, lessons, and achievements of the past ten years of reform and opening up tell us that we should not be afraid of needless things when we do carry out a task. If we’re already scared before we do anything, then we will never be able to accomplish anything.

“Our career is inherently difficult and dangerous, and we rely on countless people to wade through it bit by bit. Why should we be scared of loss? If we are afraid of loss in everything we do, then we won’t be able to achieve anything.”

When the old man was talking to Mr. McNeal, he was more serious than when h e was talking to Jasper. He taught Mr. McNeal a lesson the moment he opened

his mouth.

“Yes, yes, you’re right. My vision is not broad enough,” Mr. McNeal said quickly. “There was a resolution on this matter

after a meeting and some people did oppose it, but everyone’s starting point was good and I voted in favor. Now that a collective resolution has been formed, there is nothing else to say.

“The reason why it was not been made public earlier and was even kept a secret from you is because it depends on what Jasper does. If he doesn’t dare to do it, then everything will stop. If he dares to do it, then we will dare to let him take care of it. If a kid under 30 years old is not afraid, then why should us old farts be afraid? The sky won’t fall.”

“I understand.”

After the call was over, Mr. McNeal immediately made arrangements in person. In the shortest possible time, Jasper had the command of 600 billion in social security funds.

Jasper was not clear about the total amount of social security funds. The

information that could be found publicly o In the Internet might be altered. After all, this was related to the cornerstone of the country’s social stability, so unless it was necessary or unless they were someone with a core responsibility, they would not be able to know the exact figure.

So, Jasper figured that 600 billion might not be the total amount under the social security fund. However, according to the implementation of the social security policy to the present and the fact that they were in 2001, the time and base of the national social security payment were still very low. Because of this, Jasper knew that the 600 billion Somer Dollars was already the maximum that the social security fund could use.
