After going back to Terizone, Hudson and the rest were not back yet. Inside the office, Jasper and Jack were sitting next to each other.
“I’ve contacted Montagne Capitals and they want to confirm whether you’ve really gotten Colossal Investments’ 25% of the shares, Mr. Laine.”
After he heard what Jack said, Jasper smiled and said, “You want to know too, right, Jack?”
Jack chortled and said, “I think it’s true. If this was someone else, I won’t believe them, but if it’s you, there’s a possibility.”
“You think so highly of me.” Jasper shrugged. He was not a god, so he could not make everything go his way.
Basically, the plan this time was to use the misinformation between Montagne Capitals and Colossal Investments to create a chance to gain some advantages.
Jasper told Colossal Investments that he had Montagne Capitals’ 34% of the shares. He was using this to threaten them to make them realize that if they did not nod their heads, Sena would not be able to float in the market.
As such, they would definitely sell their shares.
As it was Sena’s internal problem that caused their float to fail, according to the agreement, Colossal Investments would automatically get 25% shares as compensation.
On the other hand, Jasper could use the fact that he got Colossal Investments’ shares as a requirement to buy the shares Montagne Capitals had.
Montagne Capitals would not have a reason to decline that as well.
After Jack heard what Jasper said, he widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “You’re saying that… you’re lying to them?”
Jasper smiled and said, “I’m not lying because I’m this close to getting my hands on Colossal Investments’ share of Sena’s shares, and it is indeed 25%.”
Jasper told Jack about his plan.
Jack was dazed and dizzy after he heard it.
“To be honest, I’m so impressed with you,” Jack said sincerely.
“These are just cheap tricks. The main problem is that we’re still not strong enough. If not, we wouldn’t have to use such cheap tricks and could just crush them brazenly,” Jasper lamented.
Jack said, “You’re still young and have a long future ahead. In a few more years, you’ll be able to reach the height you mentioned. To be honest, I have no idea where you’ll be in the future, but it must be a height that other people can only look up to.
“How should I reply to Montagne Capitals then?” Jack asked.
Jasper hesitated for a while before saying, “Did they quote a price?”
Jack said, “They did. 200 million.”
“They only invested 80 million back then, right? It’s just been two years and they’re selling it for 200 million. What great businesspeople,” Jasper said dully.
Jack laughed and said, “There’s still a very large chance with this price.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “No, we don’t need to negotiate the price. Just promise them. The requirement is to deal immediately.”
Jack was stumped for words. He could not help but say, “We could at least get it down to 180 million…”
“Jack, we don’t have any stocks with us. If this drags on, problems will arise,” Jasper said with a smile.
