Gale’s tone came off a bit bleak, but it also sounded more like a request.
Gale was just an old man who had come to the end of his life, and no matter how powerful he was before, how high his status, or how much wealth he had gathered, at this moment, just like thousands of people before him who had reached this stage, he just wanted to fulfill his last wish.
Jasper paused and replied, “Old Master, in my opinion, when it comes to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce or other chambers of commerce, there is a reason for their existence. I have no intention to regard the Haddock Chamber of Commerce as my enemy or even to compare it with other chambers of commerce.
I have had more contact with the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, so I understand better that this chamber of commerce is essentially focusing on profit and practicality, and this trait is precisely why it is more suitable to be my partner.
“If the interests are there, then the
cooperative relationship will not be
broken. This is an eternal truth.
“So, I promise you I will not take the initiative to let the Haddock Chamber of Commerce perish and such a chamber of commerce that has been passed down for hundreds of years will not perish either.”
After Jasper finished speaking, Gale laughed.
“Good, very good.”
Everyone was smart, and since things had reached this point, there was no need for any fancy language traps or modifiers..
Therefore, this exchange was actually the sincerest exchange between the two since Jasper first met Gale.
“I already understand what you are trying to say… Alright, the doctor is here again, I should hang up.”
After hearing what Gale said, Jasper suddenly realized that this was probably the last communication between the two, s o Jasper immediately said, “Old Master, what else do you want to tell me?”
Gale paused for a moment before saying slowly, “Sly child, do not embarrass the folks of Somerland.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
In the end, Gale did not make any more
demands.
This was although they both knew that so long as it was not too much, Jasper would probably agree.
Such as his funeral or Dean’s status.
Gale said nothing.
However, his last sentence made Jasper understand why Gale chose Dean in the end and chose to acquiesce in cooperating with Dean to seize the throne.
He did not have time to choose a more suitable successor, which might be one of the reasons.
However, someone like Gale had been in the business world all his life. At this moment, which one of the few big shots i In the domestic business world was not his junior?
Even at an advanced age, he still controlled the Haddock Chamber of
Commerce for decades without wavering.
How could such a person not have several backup plans for an event as major as his heir?
