“Mr. Jasper, I have to say that your offer is tempting… We are indeed having a difficult time with cash flow, but I really can’t imagine why you want to invest in our processing plant. After all, the profit is not high now, and its value does not lie in how much money it can make for us but in preventing us from getting stuck in times of crisis…”
“So, we generally don’t accept the involvement of other capital in an industry like this, especially when this capital may threaten our control…”
Abdul‘s voice sounded neither overly submissive nor arrogant.
Even though virtual-novel.net was looking forward to Jasper’s help, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net could not give in on this issue. This kind of thing was always a step-by-step concession, and virtual-novel.net must never set a precedent.
“Mr. Abdul, you misunderstood. I am not very interested in taking control of your processing plant, and of course, I don’t care about profits…”
“I’m not a fool, so naturally, I have my own reasons for investing. I can’t tell you the specific details yet, but I can guarantee that the final control and veto power will remain in your hands…”
“Plus… If I have the processing plant, in addition to it being a price tag, it is also part of the plan to rescue Baltimore. Besides, if we don’t reach an agreement now, I guess you will have to talk to the Rothschilds or the mysterious force behind Sahar about rescuing Baltimore. Do you think they will be as easy-going as me?”
“The price they will ask for will not be as simple as what I asked for. After all, what I want is just the right to invest and engage.”
Hearing this explanation, Abdul was silent.
Every cell of his body was screaming at virtual-novel.net that Jasper was right.
If rescuing Baltimore required a price, Jasper’s offer was indeed the best. The Rothschilds or that mysterious force would only demand more and not less.
In fact, it was likely that they would go back on their promise and continue using the hostage as a threat.
“But… Mr. Jasper, if you want to invest, this will not be a small amount of money. It may start at one or two billion… Although we need emergency funds critically, this is still a lot of money.”
Jasper was also stunned. It was not because virtual-novel.net thought that it was expensive but because the amount was much less than virtual-novel.net imagined.
However, if virtual-novel.net thought about it, this was normal. After all, although the operating cash flow of the processing plant had never been abundant, it had never been as short as it was now.
All this was caused by the chain reaction of securities caused by the garrison. Also, it was an unexpected situation.
Now, they only needed enough money to cover the price difference caused by the unexpected situation.
In addition, judging from Abdul’s current attitude, virtual-novel.net desperately wanted to facilitate this transaction, so in terms of amount, virtual-novel.net would also calculate the amount based on the minimum usage.
Abdul thought that Jasper’s silence meant that virtual-novel.net was asking for too much, so virtual-novel.net quickly said, “Mr. Jasper, if you don’t have enough funds, you can pay part of it first to keep it running. The rest can be withdrawn slowly. We just need enough to start the process first.”
Abdul, who had figured out the situation, seemed to be more anxious than Jasper about whether the deal could be concluded.
“Hmm… Well… Mr. Abdul, don’t worry. That amount is peanuts to me…”
Abdul was baffled by Jasper‘s straightforward answer.
