Life at the Top

Chapter 86

When he saw Dawson again, it was when his future father-in-law was the most high-spirited.

Jasper was not clear about the fight with the Hanks, but when he saw Dawson in high spirits, it was evident that the outcome was ideal.

“The head of the Hanks family has stepped down,” Dawson said directly after Jasper sat down.

“That bad?” Jasper asked in surprise.

After all, the Hanks was one of the influential big families in the province. The failure of the scheme last time almost caused the head of the Hanks family to fall from his position of prestige.

“The most important thing is that Zayden is the son of the head of the family. The father and son were pushed out by the Hanks to ease my anger.”

Dawson’s face was gloomy. “Although another person is the head now, the Hanks will still be the Hanks. This time, they’ve lost billions and their reputation. They won’t do anything for now, but they won’t let this go after suffering a loss.”

“Different situations call for different actions.”

Jasper was not bothered.

His development was destined to be faster and fiercer than what people imagined. They were just a family from the province, so even if they flipped the sky upside down, Jasper would not be bothered.

“Let’s talk about the property you mentioned last time. After what you said, I’ve hired someone to survey the market and I think there’s hope,” Dawson said excitedly.

Jasper was not surprised at the conclusion Dawson had come up with.

As one of the main ruling bodies of reform and opening to the outside world, real estate was a trillion- dollar market. As such, it was obvious that there was a lot of potential.

“Schuler Group can make the province as the core to build and stabilize its headquarters. After that, you can spread out to the surrounding cities,” Jasper smiled and said.

After nodding disapprovingly, Dawson said, “However, this industry has a high requirement for capital and funding. I don’t think Schuler Group is equipped to handle this.”

“Uncle, you’re so ambitious,” Jasper smiled and said.

According to Schuler Group’s current numbers, it would not be a problem for them to get a few commercial properties to play around with.

However, Dawson had already said that, so it meant he did not come to play. If he wanted to do this, he would just devour the entire real estate market in the province.

“There isn’t any particularly large real estate market in the province. There are two, but they are state- owned. Because of the system, they will not be Schuler Group’s rival in terms of market competition.”

Dawson’s words were methodical and reasonable. It was obvious that he had thought this through.

“So, I don’t want to give anyone time to react before I take down sections of land in every excellent area and spread out. I want to use the least amount of time to build my position in the real estate market in the province.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After Jasper thought about it, he said, “However, the capital for that is indeed the biggest problem.”

“That’s why I’m looking for you.” Dawson looked at Jasper in admiration.

He had heard about JW Capital during this period and knew how powerful Jasper was.

If Jasper was willing to help him out with the capital, then there would be no problem.

“I’m planning to start a new real estate company. Schuler Group will be responsible for its daily operation and management. We’ll invest 500 million.”

After hearing what Dawson said, Jasper said directly, “Then, JW Capital will invest 800 million. The total capital will be 1.2 billion dollars. There won’t be much problem dominating the real estate market in the province now.”

Dawson guffawed and said, “Good! What are your requirements in terms of the ratio of the equity shares?”

“The more the better, of course!”

The person who said this was Wendy, who had not been given a chance to join in the conversation for a very long time.

Her adorable face turned red after she said that because the two men opposite her were looking at her at the same time.

Dawson shook his head helplessly. No wonder they said married daughters were like water that had been splashed out. His precious daughter’s heart was completely siding with Jasper now.

“Uncle Schuler, let me take an unfair advantage. I’ll take 40% of the shares,” Jasper said with a smile.

In fact, according to the ratio of the capital, Jasper should be the one with the bigger portion.

However, the real estate industry was not the same as other industries. Connections were very important, especially when they needed to get into contact with the local government and banks.

Even though Jasper’s JW Capital was famous now, it still could not compete with Schuler Group that had been established a long time ago in the province.

Schuler Group’s name would do better than JW Capital’s when it came to getting into contact with the locals.

As such, the ratio of the equity shares was pretty reasonable.

However, Wendy did not care about this. Her beautiful eyes glared at her father, and it was obvious that she was not happy with the ratio Jasper proposed. She kept on hinting at Jasper to increase it.

Dawson had no choice, so he said, “Let’s do 50-50. My assets will belong to you two in the future anyway.”

After he said that, Jasper was delighted.

Wendy was blushing while blaming Dawson for being so disrespectful even though he was the senior.

After they finished talking about the serious matters, Dawson suddenly received a call while he was having tea with Jasper.

After he placed his phone down, Dawson smiled and said to Jasper, “Jasper, the city hall of the province is planning to auction off a piece of land. I think it’s worth the investment.”
