This luxury hotel in front of him was not Saul’s only property in the entire city of Bashra.
One could say that his industry covered culinary and entertainment, and it was not small at all. At the same time, due to Saul’s generosity and righteousness in the local area, he was given the nickname Saint Saul. Even Jasper had to lament at this moment.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Jefferson to be such a legendary figure in the local area… It seems that Rowan was right when he said that I should come to Qari to find you!”
After Jasper finished speaking, Saul also smiled slightly. “You’re too kind. Since you are the same generation as my nephew Rowan, how about I call you by name?”
“Of course, it sounds friendlier this way.”
Jasper did not care about this at all, and Saul finally asked the key question after he had drunk and eaten enough.
“By the way, Jasper, I’ve always been a little puzzled… Somerland is so peaceful. Why did you leave such a good environment and specifically come here to do business?”
Jasper was unambiguous facing Saul’s question.
“Actually, I don’t intend to hide it from you. I’m eyeing Qari’s oil business.”
As soon as he said that, Saul realized that he had underestimated Jasper in front of him.
About half a month later, something happened. He could no longer spend as much money as before, and in the end, he could not even pay the bill.
Unlike other money-grubbing bosses, Saul did not drive him away immediately, but instead, he called him over for a meal and a heart-to-heart talk.
Through this meal, Saul learned that the person in front of him was named Giovanni, and he was also a local businessman. In the past, the reason why Giovanni was generous was that he had an oil field under his name. Although the oil field was small, it produced oil that made him worth a lot of money.
Unfortunately, something happened in the oil field half a month ago, and his investment in other fields failed, resulting in a large amount of his equity being embezzled. Giovanni would soon go bankrupt if this continued.
