“What’s the situation now?”
Henry managed to lift half of his body from the couch and asked Jasper.
“Mitch, that idiot, colluded with Conrad to transport hundreds of tons of aluminum ores from Harbor City just to trick you?”
Jasper nodded and said, “Something like that.”
“F*ck!” Henry cursed with displeasure. “Why has no one paid such a huge price to trick me before?”
“It only takes a few women to trick you,” Jasper shot back mercilessly.
“F*ck, I don’t like to hear that!” Henry roared grumpily.
“Stop shouting. It hurts my head.”
“This is all thanks to the Laws’ great influence. Your family was able to find out about this in just a few hours.
“Since they’ve spent so much effort preparing a good show, it would be such a pity if we don’t go along with their performance, don’t you think?” Jasper said meaningfully.
…
The next day, Conrad took the initiative to make a call. This time, Jasper agreed to meet him at a location.
“I think the partnership can go on,” Jasper said with a smile while looking at Conrad who was sitting across the table.
“Before that, though, I have a question.
“Aren’t you afraid that working with me will irk you when you have enmity against me?”
After hearing what Jasper said, Conrad said indifferently, “Enmity and business are two completely different things. If I can’t even draw a clear distinction between them, then why bother doing business at all?”
“Okay.” Jasper nodded, seemingly impressed by this answer.
“How will this partnership work?”
Conrad’s eyes twinkled as he said with a faint smile, “Like what we mentioned earlier, we will establish a company. I’ll hold 60% shares and you 40%. We’ll invest according to the ratio. You will contribute 2.3 billion while I will fork out the remaining three billion.”
“The interests that belong to the company after that will also be divided according to equity.”
Jasper nodded and said, “Not bad. This is a standard and reasonable way to distribute it. However, I don’t know anything about the mineral industry. What about the sales channels?”
