Life at the Top

With Brayson’s intervention, Jasper met the director general and deputy director general of Finland National Workers’ Union in the shortest time. The director general’s name was Vainamoinen, and the deputy director general was Pake Buska.

They were both middle-aged men in their fifties. They had beer bellies, shaggy beards, and huge builds. At a glance, it was clear that they possessed pure Nordic male ancestry.

In the hotel, Jasper shook hands with them and sat down.

“Mr. Vainamoinen, Mr. Pake, everyone knows why we are sitting here, so I won’t waste time and I’ll go straight to the point.”

“I want to buy your stake of Nokia, which totals of 9.2% of all listed shares. I will buy it at a premium of 8 times the market price, which is 2.5 billion US Dollars.”

As soon as Jasper finished speaking, Vainamoinen eyed Pake and motioned for him to speak. As soon as Pake opened his mouth to speak, Jasper smiled and raised his hand to stop him.

What a joke.

The people of Somerland were the kings of playing with people’s hearts compared with these Nordic brutes. Jasper would be able to play them like a fiddle with just a single finger.

If Jasper did not have the time to dilly dally with them in Finland, he would not meet them so soon.

“Gentlemen, I know what you are thinking. But I’m not finished yet…”

“In addition to the 2.5 billion US Dollars in acquisition funds, your private accounts will also have an extra 80 million US Dollars in remittance. Of course, the accounts can be appointed by you two. No one will know of the existence of this money.”

Jasper’s words caused Vainamoinen and Pake to start breathing rapidly.

As the two decision makers of the National Workers’ Union, they had received a lot of benefits, but it was the first time they had ever encountered such a generous person. In addition to that, this was in Finland in Northern Europe. This money was enough for the struggling duo to squander for a lifetime.
