Since both parties were willing, Jasper got the chance to meet Malcolm three days later.
The only difference from any normal meeting was that Malcolm had requested it to be a family meeting instead. This meant that both families were to bring their wives and children, if any. Their discussion would then be held in a more relaxed and calm environment.
Jasper was not surprised.
Malcolm had always been a family man and such a request was most likely for him to test out if he could work with his employer’s temperament.
The relationship between a professional manager and his employer was not to be neglected. A frigid relationship would only end in a lose-lose situation.
The more top-notch the professional manager, the more requirements they had for their employer.
“Do you think Mr. Malibu and his wife will like our gift?”
Wendy asked worriedly on the way to the meeting.
Jasper smiled. “Top-notch professional managers like him start with earning tens of millions of US dollars a year, and they get company dividends too. Money is the last of their problems, so giving them unique trinkets might earn their favor.”
Wendy blinked and replied, “This meeting seems to matter a lot to you.”
Jasper stared out the window where the scenery vanished behind him and sighed. “I don’t have much of a choice. The company’s getting bigger and I’m only one man. My power alone isn’t enough to build JW up.”
Jasper was well aware of his own shortcomings. While the memories from his past life were the biggest advantage he had, his memories were also beginning to stray further from the current reality thanks to his involvement. There was no way Jasper could completely rely on them for the rest of his life.
The heavy responsibility to build up his enterprise still depended on his abilities.
While Jasper admitted that he had an average amount of knowledge about finance and investment, just about enough to support him, he was completely out of his depth when it came to modernized enterprise management and building company structure.
He had no other choice but to ask someone else for help.
