Life at The Top novel Chapter 779

Walking out of Colossal Investments Headquarters, Jasper’s mind echoed with the words Paulson had said before he left.

“There are no emotions here in Wall Street, nor do we care about who’s right or wrong. The only thing that separates me from my enemy are benefits.

“Whoever brings me benefits is a friend, and everyone else is my enemy.”

Jasper admitted that Paulson’s words had affected him deeply.

This was the cruel reality of a capitalist market. Without experiencing it first-hand, one would never understand how bloody the rules of the games are.

Take his partnership with Colossal Investments for example. In a short conversation, they had already decided who would assume the position of the President of the Terra regional branch.

Should Jasper truly manage to reach an IPO of 120 US Dollars for Sena, then he would have successfully proven his benefits and worth to Colossal Investments.

Colossal Investments would only toss William out if a happy partnership with Jasper mattered more to them.

Firing the President of the Terra regional branch to gain Jasper’s trust and friendship was a very good bargain.

However, the premise was that Jasper had to prove his worth.

Sena’s share price would be the quickest and most direct way to do this.

If he failed, Colossal Investments would not pay Jasper or Celine another glance.

This had nothing to do with who was right or wrong. This was a relationship purely comprised solely of monetary benefits.
