Life at the Top

This meeting and company restructure was in truth a chance for Jasper to completely comb through and straighten things in JW Capital and its subsidiaries.

Not only had he clarified the authority and responsibilities of each group, but he had also straightened out the system of forces within the companies.

Now that the companies could work together and complement each other, they had finally taken the form of a strong system.

There were also some more secret changes but Jasper did not plan to tell them.

For example, there was now an investment group within the parent company and Jasper planned to have Jake Cullen in Harbor City be in charge of it. Business would mainly be financial operations.

“The company’s only growing larger with each day and I’m likely to reduce my investments under my own name but do it on behalf of the company instead. This is a very important task and I need you to take it upon yourself.”

Jasper’s words had Jake feeling inexplicably excited on the other end of the video call.

He had not expected his relationship with Jasper to develop to such a degree—from being on opposing parties to him following Jasper’s orders to becoming a core member of Jasper’s company.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. I’ll do my best and follow your instructions,” Jake proclaimed his loyalty.

After all, the benefits of being one of the company’s core employees were evident. All he used to get was a commission from Jasper but things would be different now.

A hefty salary and great benefits, as well as company dividends. There was no better job elsewhere.

“I’ve been hosting meetings all day so I’m a little tired now. If there isn’t anything else, let’s end the call here,” Jasper spoke with a smile.

Jasper had put a lot of thought into whether he should appoint Jake or not. After a long period of observation, Jasper realized that Jake was exceptionally talented in his field and his only issue was that he was a little stingy. Still, that was a small issue.

Jasper knew that he was not perfect, so he did not expect others to be perfect.

Mr. Laine. Did you perhaps offend anyone in Coreana?” Jake’s sudden question had Jasper halting just
