“Give it one more week at most and we’ll have to pay the balance for the Southface River Project. It’s at least seven billion. We don’t have that kind of money anymore,” Wendy ranted about being poor.
Jasper coughed and said, “About the real estate subsidiary company, it’s the upfront investment fees needed to start the construction of the skyscraper, so it can’t be avoided. As for the rest, I still have money in my Harbor City account but it’s best that we don’t touch that. If we do, our profits will drop drastically.”
Wendy rolled her eyes at Jasper and said, “I already knew that you didn’t have much money on hand. My father will transfer ten billion over tomorrow but we can’t keep doing this. The skyscraper is too expensive, do you really want to build it?”
Jasper nodded and said, “It has to be built. Moreover, the die has been cast now. We have no choice but to proceed with it.”
Besides, Jasper was familiar with the real estate and construction materials market in the future. He knew that a building that could be built with 16 billion dollars now would require at least 20 billion in not even two or three years.
The four billion difference could be used to do so many other things.
“I’ve already paid the down payment for the pedestrian street earlier and as a result, I’m tight on cash…” Jasper said gloomily.
“You’ve pumped all your cash into investment projects.” Wendy’s eyes blazed like torches as she immediately pointed out the cause of Jasper’s penniless state.
Grinning, Jasper said, “This is also the reason why I’m rushing to get United Legends out there. The MP3 players aren’t doing too bad either. We could get millions in profits every day. While it’s not much, it’s going to be a lot of money once it accumulates.”
“But as big as United Legends gets, we still need a procedure to gain profits. Do you have any other plans?” asked Wendy.
Jasper narrowed his eyes and said, “We have to make money with United Legends but its most important function now is to create a good base for Sena. I want Sena to become a public listed company. Once it does, I’ll then be able to cash out huge sums of money from the stock market in an instant, and our problem will essentially be solved.”
Speaking of this, Jasper recalled the time when he had bought Sena before this. Even though it was in retaliation against Dane’s attack on Terizone, he had still planned on merging Sena and Terizone together then.
