Jasper reached out and touched his chin. He began to think, and then he spoke again after a moment of thought.
“If Half the Harbor Langdon started investing in Southeast Terra and other countries in a dozen years, it may really impact the domestic economy. But he chose to choose this time. The economy of the entire Southeast Terra is not strong enough. Somerland is in this state, and it is even more true of the surrounding small countries, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”
Robert did not understand what Jasper meant, so he asked further, “So, Mr. Laine, are you going to let it go?”
Jasper shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s not that I don‘t care, but I also want to see what Half the Harbor Langdon will do in Southeast Terra.”
In fact, the reason why Jasper was not worried about Half the Harbor Langdon was based on specific grounds, not merely blind confidence. As the national strength of Somerland continued to grow, the small countries of Southeast Terra were also under the control of Somerland.
So what if Half the Harbor Langdon was able to do thriving business there?
One must not forget that Somerland controlled all the small countries’ access to the sea. To put it bluntly, if the higher-ups were unhappy one day and wanted to block all access to the sea, what could the small countries do?
Wouldn’t Half the Harbor Langdon be the one who caused the economic damage?
Now Jasper was just waiting to see those people shoot themselves in the foot, so he did not need to do anything.
Robert saw Jasper’s confidence about this and did not say much more. He was just saying this casually. Since Jasper was not bothered, what else could he say?
“Mr. Coyle, are you here to only tell me about Half the Harbor Langdon’s investment in Southeast Terra?” Jasper looked at Robert with a smile and asked.
Robert suddenly came back to his senses and began to talk about business. He chuckled and said, “As expected of Mr. Laine. That’s right. I’ve always wanted to talk with you, but since I ran into you here today, I’ll get straight to the point…”
Jasper nodded. “I’m all ears.”
Robert continued, “I want to work with you in Southeast Terra. What do you think?”
