Wendy gazed at Jasper worriedly as she
said, “Don’t be reckless. I think we should
discuss things with Harbor City before
deciding on how we’ll deal with it.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “Harbor City has coughed up practically all its resources, so I’m not planning to look for them regarding this matter. They’ve always given JW Company protection before this. I think it’s time JW Company repaid that favor.
“Here’s what we’ll do. Take our plane back to Nauritius later and gather all the company’s resources, especially the ones that have to do with real estate. We’ll prepare ourselves to enter Harbor City’s stock market at a moment’s notice.”
Harbor City had a well-developed economy, and it relied heavily on their estate market.
This could be seen from the number of millionaires who had earned their fortune through dabbling in real estate.
Thus, the real estate market would be one’s top choice if they wanted to assist their economy.
“Enter Harbor City’s stock market? We don’t have the financial assets to do that,” Wendy said.
Jasper chuckled and replied, “Who said we’re going to take over the whole stock market? What we need to do now is buy a
piece of land from the Nauritius government at a suitable time and loudly proclaim our plans for a huge construction project. JW’s branding is strong enough to act as a support pillar for many things now. As long as we continue showing our favor towards Harbor City’s real estate, their real estate market won’t collapse.
“If their real estate market doesn’t
collapse, their finances will be fine.
“Moreover, both Fongroup and Hope Group have a stronghold in real estate. They wouldn’t dare allow anything to happen to Harbor City’s real estate market no matter how much they hate me. If they did do that, nothing much would have happened to me before they went
down first. We have to attack their main industries if we want to attack these three corporations. We can target Fongroup and Hope Group through the real estate market, but as for Sawyer Atticus, I’ll
have to think of something I can do to the
rubber market.”
Wendy felt much more at ease when she saw how quickly Jasper had come up with a strategy.
“Alright, I’ll go and make the preparations now, but…”
Wendy seemed hesitant as she said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to work with Sean with regards to the real estate market.”
“What’s happened to Sean?” Jasper asked
as he frowned.
His sharp eyes had noticed something odd
in Wendy’s expression. Wendy sighed and said, “I demoted Sean.”
Jasper was stunned.
To be fair, as managing director of JW Company’s real estate group, Sean’s position in the hierarchy was only slightly lower than Wendy’s, who was the CFO. Moreover, Wendy was mainly in charge of financial matters and did not need to be in charge of human resources.
Moreover, Jasper had signed an agreement for Wendy to be the president o fJW Company so she could take his place i n managing the company while he was busy with the stock market. By right, Jasper had no position in JW Company as o f now.
However, everyone still knew that Jasper was the boss, and Wendy was the co-boss.
The couple had the same amount of
power, and this was just so they could
Wendy sighed before she continued saying, “I only learned about this when the police informed me. So, I fired that vice-president, and I got Sean to take a month’s leave to self-reflect.”
“Wow, it’s just been a few months since I stopped paying attention to the company, and we have a rapist now! Thank God no sexual activities were actually carried out. If not, I would be happy to deliver him straight into jail myself!”
”
Jasper was so angry that he began
laughing.
“Do these b*stards think they’re above
the law now just because JW has made it
big?”
Jasper was so angry that he wanted to
grab Sean and slap him across the face.
“This is no longer an issue of business management, nor is it an issue of dividing factions. They’ll become criminals if this goes on!”
Furious, Jasper said without hesitation, ” Hand that vice-president over to the police, let them deal with him. As for the affected female employee, visit her on my behalf and send my regards. Do your best t o satisfy whatever demands she may have.
“As for Sean Tucker, send him to Nauritius to work in the sales department. No one is allowed to give him special treatment unless I say so. Anyone who gives him special treatment can go work a s a sales employee alongside him. If he thinks he’s being treated unfairly, he can screw off.
“JW will never allow something like this t o happen, be it in the past, the present, or the future. Anyone who does this will be handed over to the police immediately . Also, send a notice out to all the employees at headquarters and also our branch companies from the president’s office.
“From today onwards, every employee will have the right to refuse an offer to attend a business meeting with their senior, regardless of position or job scope. If they feel coerced, they can report the employee anonymously. The president will be in charge of processing these reports for the time being, but we’ll establish a department dedicated to managing this shortly.”
