Life at The Top novel Chapter 846

Conrad had never expected to fool Jasper with a scheme that seemed so costly and elaborate.

Thus, Conrad had from the very start abandoned the Langdon family and begun planning his scheme.

In his opinion, it would be best if Jasper was fooled by this scheme, but he knew the chances of that happening was tiny.

After dealing with him multiple times, Conrad understood exactly why Jasper was so terrifying.

Thus, he did not have a lot of hope.

He placed even more hope on the fact that he had secretly abandoned the W. Langdons and had another plan directed at Sena.

Conrad, who had done thorough research on Jasper, knew that Jasper would immediately be alerted if he took action against any of the companies the man owned.

Jasper had complete control over these companies because they had never been listed publicly. Nothing could escape his eyes.

Sena was the only one that was different.

After all, Sena had been listed publicly on the Nasdaq Composite. The company’s shareholding structure would be a multi-class structure for sure.

Conrad knew Jasper would maintain a firm grip of control over Sena, but he did not care. He did not want to fight with Jasper for Sena but rather cause Sena to completely collapse once he was done making his move.

No one knew that Conrad had already begun laying out the share prices for Sena, and that was the last trick he had up his sleeve.

“Oh, Jasper. This time, it’ll be a battle of wits between the two of us. On the surface, I’m using the W. Langdons as a cover-up for what I’m about to do in the dark. I’m going to pull the rug out from under you through the Nasdaq Composite… Tell me, how are you going to win this time?”

…

Without surprise, the team of experts in the minerals industry that Jasper had gotten in contact with through Elbert Mcgee did not find anything out of the ordinary in Hill County.

After two days of field research, the report the team submitted to Jasper stated that there was indeed a large reserve of aluminum ore within the depths of Hill County. Moreover, these ores were worth billions because of their high quality.

The only downside was that Hill County was an undeveloped place with harsh conditions. A large amount of money would need to be invested before the ores could be mined…

Jasper put down the report the experts had submitted and dialed John’s number.

“John, it’s me.

“Haha, let me apologize in advance. I was in America before this and had a lot of things to take care of. That’s why I wasn’t able to keep in touch with you guys.

“You’re not wrong, I do have a favor to ask from you today.

“I was wondering if you could ask around your company and the other major banks in Southeast Province if Conrad Monty has taken any large loans that are worth millions?

“Yes, it’s quite urgent. I wouldn’t have called you if it wasn’t.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you to get back to me.”

Within an hour of ending his call with John, Jasper received a message from him.

Conrad had requested a special financing loan of 2.9 billion dollars from Agricultural Bank.

It was a three-year loan that would be used for business development, with the collateral being the aluminum mine that had been newly discovered at Hill County.
