The hiring of Malcolm was an important turn of events for Jasper and JW Company.
In his future autobiography, this professional manager who had worked 25 years under JW Company until his retirement at the age of 70 described his meeting with Jasper as an important meeting that changed his life.
It was only second to marrying his wife, Mrs. Kelly.
To add to the joy, Jasper received good news from Jack the following day as well.
After a few rounds of negotiation, Midas Company had finally agreed to package sell the gaming project, United Legends.
It was not cheap, costing 40 million US dollars.
It cost Jasper all the profits he made from Mellow MP3 players as of late.
Even then, Jack had gone through a lot to get the deal. First, he used his connections with Weresoft to find one of Midas Company’s shareholders. Then, he spent millions on that man just to get him to agree.
As far as Midas Company was concerned, this was an ordinary game with an average beta testing score from Coreana, so the deal had them profiting greatly from Somerland.
Yet to Jasper, excluding the MP3 business, United Legends would be another source of cash flow. The game would spark the beginning of the online gaming market in Somerland that would eventually reach the value of 100 billion.
Only time would tell who truly profited.
Jack was indeed an exceptional professional manager. He remembered Jasper’s instructions clearly.
After buying the United Legends project, he had then taken advantage of the extreme rift between the game’s developers and the company due to conflicting reasons about whether to sell the game or not. Doing so, he managed to bring in the better half of the project’s technicians to Sena.
