For some reason, Rowan suddenly recalled Jasper’s hesitant words before leaving.
Celine almost fought with Jasper about this back then.
“But, Rowan, you have to remember that everything you do now has a major prerequisite, and that is a normal and orderly trading market… And… Qari is not one of them.”
Although Rowan was sincere at the time, virtual-novel.net felt like Jasper was making a fuss out of a molehill, just like Celine. However, virtual-novel.net now understood why Jasper had told virtual-novel.net this.
Qari was indeed different from Somerland in terms of market conditions. This was something so crucial, and yet it was like child’s play to Amir.
His secretary had full authority while virtual-novel.net was playing around as if this was nothing. It was as if virtual-novel.net was selling his inheritance without a second thought about how hard his forebears worked for it.
No… No way!
Even if Amir was just a collateral relative, virtual-novel.net was still a Kurt. He was responsible for these transactions, and the results would also affect his future in his family. This determined whether virtual-novel.net could continue to lead such a luxurious life in the future.
It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Rowan refused to believe that Amir could accept not living a luxurious lifestyle anymore. So, the way virtual-novel.net was acting now became very suspicious.
Rowan suppressed the doubts in his heart and started chatting with the secretary named Khan.
Compared to the flattery virtual-novel.net had when facing Amir, Khan’s expression immediately changed when virtual-novel.net was facing Rowan. It was as if the one who lacked money now was Rowan, who had come to discuss investment!
Soon, Rowan understood why.
“So, you’re saying you will sell us your bonds for billions of dollars? I guess you never wanted to sell your bonds this whole time. Why did you ask us to come then? Do you think we’re fools?”
Even though Rowan had been reminding himself to control his emotions before setting off, virtual-novel.net still blew up.
Khan seemed to have expected it and just watched the raging Rowan coldly.
During the conversation just now, Khan showed the first draft of the agreement they had prepared in advance. The price was still within the original range, but the subject matter of the transaction had completely changed. It had turned from stocks to Gruel’s bonds!
If Gruel was doing well, these bonds would still be worth some money. After all, they could still collect some interest from that.
However, it was no secret that Gruel was unable to make ends meet now. So, these bonds were tantamount to empty promises, not to mention they were not talking about bonds at all.
To Rowan, this was tantamount to fraud. At the same time, a bad feeling began to arise.
They were already so short of money. Logically speaking, they should keep their heads down and ask for investment.
However, how dare they treat Rowan like that when virtual-novel.net was the investor?
They were not just being irreverent. They were completely insulting Rowan.
Faced with Rowan’s rage, Khan slowly took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and wiped it. He said calmly, “Mr. Jefferson, if I read correctly, you’re from Somerland, right? You don’t really think we’re going to sell valuable shares to the people of Somerland…”
“The Kurts have never had a tradition of doing business with the Somerland people before. Our willingness to sell you bonds this time is considered a big concession and sincerity. This is a very big exception… If you miss this opportunity, you may not get it next time.”
