Jasper smiled. “This is of great importance. Tell me the truth, how’s your relationship with him?”
John patted his chest and spoke, “I was the one who helped his daughter enroll in school. We’ve been friends for over 20 years. It’s no problem if you’re asking about something normal.”
“That’s great, then. Could you help me ask if their branch is intending to sell a piece of land around Pearl Tower?” Jasper chuckled.
In his past life, the ICBS branch in Waterhoof City had made a loss trade.
By the shore of Harpoon River, right next to Pearl Tower, was a piece of commercial land owned by ICBS’ Waterhoof City branch.
With the piece of land next to Pearl Tower, which was a significant structure in Waterhoof City, an awkward situation emerged because no one dared to buy it despite their praises on how nice that plot of land was. Mainly, it was because no one could predict Waterhoof City’s future.
Therefore, the ICBS decided to shift and sell the land to a state-owned real estate company at an extremely low price in the year 2002.
One may ask how much it was sold for.
230 million Somer Dollars.
This was the renowned Z3-2 land.
Construction to build the country’s tallest high-rise building began in the year 2008. In Jasper’s past life, everyone who went to Waterhoof City would undoubtedly take a look at the magnificent skyscraper.
It was Waterhoof City Financial Tower, which had a height of 632 meters and a whopping 119 stories.
There it stood, in Waterhoof City, looking at the opposite shore while rooted on the other shore of Harpoon River. It had Pearl Tower on its left and the building in a shape of an upward spiral on its right.
As long as he successfully got hold of that plot of land, then he could easily uproot the Hull family and the Gardner family of Waterhoof City. He could also break up Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City branch.
He would earn a fortune while completely crushing the Hull family. This was Jasper’s innermost intention.
Just then, John’s call to his old colleague was connected.
A few minutes later, John looked at Jasper confusedly. “I’ve asked him, and there is a plot of land like you said. But my old colleague was curious since their branch had only just held a meeting deciding to sell it out. How did you know about this?”
Jasper smiled. “I have my ways, John. if you could help me all the way, I’d like you to come with me to Waterhoof City tomorrow and meet with this old colleague of yours. If possible, I’d like to sign that contract as fast as possible.”
John grinned. “No problem. The branch has been wanting to sell that piece of land long ago, but you know how it is with systems and protocol. Now that they’ve finally had a meeting and decided to sell it, I’m pretty sure you can even negotiate for a lower price if you’re adamant about buying it. I’ll come with you tomorrow!”
