“Mr. Malibu, you might’ve heard of the two dot-com industry companies of mine.
“One of them is called Sena, Somerland’s first web portal.
“The other is Terizone Inc. Its main product is KK, an instant messaging software that currently dominates the most market shares within the country. It has no competitors.”
Mrs. Kelly suddenly gasped and interrupted Jasper.
“Terizone? Oh, their KK software is really nice. I have a KK number as well, their video calling function is just too convenient. Didn’t you register for a KK account too, dearest? And you complained about how their server only exists within Somerland, causing our video calls to lag all the time.
“I remember how you even emailed them and requested that they set up a server overseas as well.”
Malcolm flushed at Mrs. Kelly’s words.
She gave perfect assistance and Jasper could not help but smile.
“Thank you two for your suggestions. I’ll definitely bring it to Terizone’s managerial level and have them pay better attention to this matter.”
Malcolm spoke awkwardly, “Let’s not talk about this one anymore. What about your other industries? If your main business is the dot-com industry, then the development of your other companies in other industries must be rather average then.”
“The media and entertainment industry? One of them is Advent Entertainment Group. It used to be the best film company in Harbor City before I acquired it and more than 60% of Harbor City’s best actors are currently signed under it.
“There’s one more that’s slightly weaker, but it’s still one of the leading companies in Somerland’s media and entertainment industry. It’s called Easy Media.”
Malcolm’s features twitched, and he felt a little embarrassed.
He loved Jackson, so he was more or less aware of what went on in the media and entertainment industry. There had been numerous Hollywood reports about the founding of Advent Entertainment Group, so he knew about it.
He also knew that this Advent Entertainment Group had a very broad domain in Somerland.
As for Easy Media, while he did not know much about it, he could understand that it was to some degree formidable through its relation to Advent Entertainment Group.
“As for real estate, I have JW Real Estates which I founded half a year ago. As of now, we’re about to finish the Southface River Project in Nauritus City. Once the project is done, it’ll become the benchmark model for renovation in the other cities of Somerland.
“There’s another project still in its planning stage and that’s the construction of the world’s first skyscraper in Waterhoof City. It’s designed to reach a height of 650 meters and it’s been passed to Morgan’s team in Gensler Design and Architecture Firm. The actual design sketch should be completed soon and I’m estimating an investment of around 16 billion Somer Dollars.”
Malcolm’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Had he not done some digging on Jasper and found out that he was an exceptionally outstanding man, Malcolm would have mistaken him for a madman or a conman.
After all, all the companies that Jasper listed held formidable positions in their respective industries. These were companies that normal people might not even own after slaving their entire life away.
Yet Jasper claimed that they were all his properties.
‘Just how wealthy is Jasper?’
Malcolm could not believe that all this belonged to this young man in his 20s who was sitting in front of him.
Jasper ignored Malcolm who was deep in thought and continued to speak.
“As for the electronics company, it’s the newest one and therefore the smallest. The company currently has one product only.”
At that, Malcolm finally let out a sigh of relief.
