When Jasper said that, Zachary, who had already informed him about the situation, felt his eyebrows tremble. Unexpectedly, Jasper’s opinion was so direct and pessimistic.
Were the four rich families in Harbor City so weak even after joining forces?
Zachary felt that Jasper was underestimating the influence of all of the big shots in this room.
The other four heads’ expressions did not change, and one could not tell how they were feeling.
After a long time, Spencer said, “Why do you say that? You must know that we’re much stronger than the locals in the Mainland, whether it’s capital or experience we’re talking about it. We’ll still have a great advantage, no?”
Jasper laughed and said, “We can’t simply calculate this sort of thing based on the advantages we have in our accounts. Naturally, I believe that the strength of those locals can hardly compare to the four rich families. However, the problem right now is that since this is such an important matter. It would be such a headache even for the higher-ups to distribute the profits.
“You must know that the way we do things in the Mainland is different. A lot of things cannot be summed up based on experience in doing business abroad. Moreover, once commercial interests are sufficiently involved, political forces will also leave the playing field. This happens even in the west.
“Regardless of whether it’s the local groups or the four rich families of Harbor City, whoever wants to dominate this huge profit will inevitably attract dissatisfaction from the higher-ups.”
Jasper’s fingers made a circle in front of him and then he cut it from the middle, saying, “The technique of checks and balances is also the technique of the emperor.”
After hearing these words, Joe laughed and said, “Your opinion is the same as the result of our previous discussion.”
Jasper looked at Joe. He did not think that Joe was forcibly acting like a poser with his remarks.
Would the four rich families be fools if they had status and wealth of this level?
Each of them was smarter than anyone else. Naturally, there was no need to say more about this kind of unsound truth.
Jasper knew that the truly intractable problems for the heads were yet to come.
