Life at The Top novel Chapter 818

Jasper smiled at Winston’s words.

One billion US dollars.

That was still an astronomical amount in the year 2001 when all currencies were severely depreciated.

Such money was enough to make an utterly poor man into the top 1% of the world’s richest people.

People slaved away for a better quality of life, yet how many people could ever make so much money their entire lives?

This was certainly a convincing price.

“That’s a very appealing price you’re offering, Mr. Benett,” Jasper commented.

Winston shook his head regretfully at Jasper’s response. “Yet I feel like you won’t agree to this business proposal.”

“Indeed.”

Jasper admitted without hesitation.

“Terizone is very important to me. It’s a major part of my plans for my business career that I cannot afford to lose. So unless you’re proposing to buy my entire future, I apologize as I cannot sell it to you.”

Winston laughed along with Jasper’s words. “That’s a very interesting way of speaking. You managed to reject me without making it too awkward. So, Laine, how much for your future?”

“Do you really want me to make an estimate, Mr. Benett?” Jasper asked.

“Haha.” Winston laughed out loud and spoke, “I hope we’ll have more chances to work together in the future.”

“I’m sure we will,” Jasper affirmed.

Jasper had begun testing online payment, be it for online shopping or for socializing online.

These were the main features that would change the rules the world played by, and Jasper would make sure all of the technology spread across the world.

Winston had made a huge name for himself in the United States and even the majority of the West, so he was one of the most important candidates for future partnership.

That was why Jasper believed that there would certainly be opportunities for them to work together.

“Then let us toast to our future.”

Winston, a great fan of coke, raised his cup of it which Jasper toasted with a cup of coffee instead of alcohol.

It was already evening when Jasper got back into the Maybach Winston had prepared for his return to the hotel.

While the two had not solidified any future partnerships, the conversation today had left the two with a chance for happy meetings in the future.

Both of them anticipated the day they would get to work together in the future.

Upon returning to the hotel, Jasper received a notification from General Motors.

Winston had indeed helped him secure a few advantages when he found out that Jasper had bought a Gulfstream G500.

Gulfstream had prepared a professional crew that would fly Jasper back to Somerland. This team would then stay to help Jasper train his own team of flight crew and teach them how to fly the world’s most advanced private plane.

This alone had saved Jasper 500,000 US dollars.
