The meeting that was initially scheduled for three hours lasted the entire day.
At the end of the meeting, the two companies had drafted an outline for their development in the next two years. Besides, Advent Entertainment Group would also send out a management team to aid Jasper in seizing Easy Media in a death grip.
Although the top executives of Easy Media felt somewhat begrudging about their diminution of power, no one dared say anything as Jasper was now the big boss. They had to accept reality.
After the meeting ended, the car the White family had dispatched to pick up Jasper was already parked in front of the company.
Jasper realized there was only Henry inside upon getting in.
“Anna doesn’t like these elite gatherings. Some of her close friends back in university came to Swallow Capital for their development, so she has headed out today to meet her friends. She asked me to inform you that she won’t be going,” Henry explained.
Jasper nodded and thought for a moment. He then called Julian and told him to keep an eye on Anna and protect her.
Although no one in Swallow Capital had the guts to bully Anna, at the end of the day, this was not Harbor City. If any shallow local thugs wanted to cause Anna trouble, everything could be settled with Julian around.
Jasper and Henry arrived at a restaurant about half an hour later.
The gate looked ordinary and so was the quadrangle, but it was located in the central area of Swallow Capital. It was only a ten-minute walk from the imperial palace.
Even now in the year 2000, the housing prices here had already exceeded 100,000 dollars per square meter.
The housing in this area could not be purchased with money even if one was rich in the future. No housing property would drift into the market at all.
“When my grandfather and father came to Swallow Capital earlier on, they liked the dishes from Shallow Grass Hall the most, apart from the state banquet. It can be considered the true first-rate private kitchen.”
“Find out later if there are any houses with quadrangles for sale in Swallow Capital. I can buy and keep them,” Jasper suddenly said to Henry who was beside him.
Henry looked at Jasper weirdly and asked, “The prices of houses with quadrangles in Swallow Capital are now outrageous. Even those smaller ones with poorer geographic locations have base prices of tens of millions. Are they worth it?”
Jasper smiled and said, “Don’t worry, no matter how high the prices are, it’s cheaper to buy them now. The prices in a few years will be even more outrageous and they’ll be even more highly sought after.”
Henry nodded. After going through so many things, he would rather doubt that the sun was square than Jasper’s insights in investments. He silently kept this matter in mind.
The two of them walked along the corridor and went around the rockery and pond. As soon as they arrived outside the door of a guest room, they heard the vigorous voice of a man from inside.
“Where did this sorry lot of people come from? The party will be arranged by the Turners. Whoever takes that away from me is disrespecting the Turner family. Who is so brave as to stop me from taking care of my business in Swallow Capital? Why don’t they cut their own coat according to their cloth?”
