Life at the Top

Dawson nodded in satisfaction when he saw how confident Jasper was.

“If you’re in the business world, you’ll meet all sorts of people, including royalty and smugglers. Competition among your peers is inevitable.

“It might be healthy competition among businesses, or it might be malicious competition with intent to suppress. There’s no way you’ll be the only person in an industry. Competition exists as long as you have peers.

“Competition itself is not scary, but you should always ensure you never underestimate your enemy and confuse yourself. No matter who the competition is, you must make sure you have a thorough understanding of them before fighting against them. Your mindset is the most important thing here.”

Dawson gave his diligent advice and said kindly, “If you’re going to take matters into your own hands, I can help by contributing ideas, but most of it will be up to you to handle.”

Jasper understood that Dawson was giving him a chance to gain more experience in fighting business battles, which was why he did not modestly decline. He smiled and said, “Alright, you should take this time to rest up. I’ll come to you if I face any further problems.”

Dawson smiled and said, “You’ve already proved your ability and vision in making money. You’re much more powerful than anyone I’ve ever met, but you still need a little practice in business battles. I’ll help keep an eye on things while I still can. You don’t need to worry.”
