Jasper asked Henry with a deep expression as they exited Shallow Grass Hall, “How much do you know about this Turner family?”

Henry’s expression was ugly as he said, “They’re difficult to deal with. The power of the old master in their family is no less than my grandfather’s.
“There’s this one thing he said that isn’t wrong. The main power of our Law family resides in Harbor City. In Swallow Capital, however, the Turner family can be said to be the stronger family.
“There are a total of three generations in the Turner family now and Erik Turner is the most brilliant of the third generation. They’ve been involved in business and politics since the second generation, basically combining the two.
“The Turner family is very strong especially in terms of capital. You know of Empire Bank, yes? Their family is their second-largest shareholder. Not to mention that the largest local media company in Swallow Capital, Motley Media, is also owned by the Turners. Erik Turner is primarily in charge of it.”
After reaching this point, Henry frowned and said, “The strength of their family is inviolable. Motley Media is a listed company and its market value is less than two billion dollars.
“But it was handed over to Erik to manage. On the one hand, Erik has the capability. On the other hand, it also shows that the Turner family’s capital is solid.”
Motley Media… Empire Bank… Jasper frowned. Motley Media was nothing, but being the second-largest shareholder of Empire Bank, this meant something.
The banking industry had always been an exclusive industry for those with large capitals. Ordinary people simply could not engage in it.
Thinking of the rumors involving the two companies from his previous life, Jasper suddenly asked, “Does the Turner family still have a holding corporation?”
Henry was surprised. “How did you know? Few people know about this. I only heard some news of it when my dad talked to me about it before. Navy Capital Holdings Group belongs to them.
“This Navy Capital Holdings Group is very low profile. Even within the same industry, not many people have heard of it, but their capabilities are simply outrageous. The group is involved in high-end industries, such as insurance, banking, and securities. They only engage in these big businesses.”
Jasper exhaled and said, “This explains it.”
“What’s the explanation? What did you think of?” Henry asked curiously.
Jasper said with a smile, “It’s nothing. I’m thinking of a way to deal with Erik and now I have an idea. Since Motley Media is a listed company, it’s easy to deal with. It won’t be a big deal since the market value is around two billion dollars or more.”
Henry heard this and frowned, saying, “Motley Media may be nothing, but this is the Turner family’s property. If you move against Motley Media, the Turners can mobilize huge funds to support it at any time. In the end, the ones who may fall into the pit may be us.”
Henry listened till his blood surged. He could not help say, “Rest assured. Even if it’s 50 billion, much less 30, our Law family will definitely fork it out.”
Prosperity brought friends and adversity tested them. The Law family was definitely his most steadfast ally and Jasper knew this fact well.
