Life at The Top novel Chapter 879

Some were celebrities from Harbor City, and their expressions turned curious when they saw Jasper and Stephen talking.

The entire Harbor City entertainment industry knew of Stephen’s situation, but no one had expected him to ask Jasper for help.

“Frankly speaking, I’ve sought them out before. Most of them just rejected me on the spot in hopes that I would star in their films instead. But I want to make my own films,” Stephen spoke sincerely.

“How much do you want?” Jasper asked.

“Huh?”

The question caught Stephen off guard and he was stunned speechless. He looked at Jasper in confusion.

Jasper repeated himself, “You wanted my investment, did you not? How much?”

“I… I’ll need at least 10 million US Dollars, but I can give you half of my company’s shares in return,” Stephen mustered the courage to speak.

“Deal.”

That single word shocked both Scarlet and Ted, let alone Stephen.

‘Is this how rich people acted nowadays?

‘They’ll drop 10 million US Dollars the way ordinary people spend 1 buck?’

“Let’s do it this way. Ted, you’ll be in charge of this transaction. Easy Media will pay the money and the shares will fall under Easy Media.

“Stephen’s company will be Easy Media’s first foothold in Harbor City’s film industry to test the waters. However, keep the priority on the Mainland’s film industry. After all, the Mainland’s the bigger market–Harbor City’s is too small.” Jasper turned to Ted.

“Alright, Mr. Laine,” Ted quickly nodded.

He knew that Jasper was giving him a chance.
