Life at the Top

Chapter 69

“How much is a billion dollars?”

Logan asked Zaine in a hushed voice.

Shaking his head, Zaine replied honestly, “I’ve never seen that much money either. I’m guessing the money should be able to fill up this house… and the toilet as well.”

“Oh…” Cameron took a sharp breath. This was simply unbelievable.

The five founders of Terizone Inc. did not come from poor family backgrounds. In this era, their families could be regarded as wealthy families with a decent amount of money.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to get together just for a so-called ‘dream’ and endure a few months without having a salary in order to establish Terizone.

However, everything paled in comparison to a billion dollars.

After getting to know each other, they told Hudson about how Jasper had come up with an idea that helped reduce the load of the server effectively. Hudson suddenly began to look at Jasper differently.

Jasper pointed at the box of takeaway in Hudson’s hand. “Jack and I came over in a hurry. We haven’t had lunch yet. Do you mind if we eat with you guys?” he asked with a grin.

“Of course, we wouldn’t mind,” Hudson said. “It’s just that the food may be a little too meager for your liking,” he added. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Haha, I’m from the countryside myself. Back then, even a box of takeaway was a luxury for me,” Jasper said while opening the boxes of takeaways. He handed each of them a box.

Originally, there was no share of food for the both of them. However, there were many people in the company who were all young men. Therefore, Hudson had bought a few extra boxes of takeaway. Now, it was just enough for all of them.

Nobody felt that Jasper was being bossy and domineering despite the glorification of his identity. On the contrary, they all felt that Jasper was humble, approachable, and easy to get along with.

Since they were all young men, conversation flowed easily among them. When Hudson heard that Jasper was from the countryside, he asked him how he earned so much money out of curiosity.

After knowing that Jasper earned his money from the stock market, Hudson’s eyes shone.

Not many people knew that Hudson had earned his first sum of money from the stock market. He had earned 700,000 dollars with a principal of 100,000 dollars. Otherwise, he would not have had the money to start up Terizone.

Hudson could hardly imagine how Jasper earned a billion dollars. He had felt pretty good about himself when he earned 700,000 dollars.

Just how scarily accurate was his investment vision?

He still did not know about all of Jasper’s assets. Otherwise, he would have received an even greater shock.

Even so, the founders of Terizone felt that the takeaway food in their hands had lost its appeal after listening to Jasper telling them about his journey to wealth.

Comparing oneself to others would only bring rage and anguish.

After having his meal, Hudson finally asked Jasper what everyone was curious about, “Mr. Laine, you said that you want to work with us. May I know which aspect you’re referring to?”

Zaine and the others turned to look at each other. They then looked at Jasper curiously. Although Terizone had five million users right now and was ranked first in the country in terms of instant messaging software, they knew their place. Their company was nothing in comparison to Jasper’s JW Capital.

Jasper did not keep them in suspense. He told them directly, “I look highly upon Terizone as I’ve been using your products all along. In my opinion, Terizone’s KK is the best instant messaging software in the country.”

After hearing what he said, Zaine and the others were overcome with joy.

After all, KK was their brainchild. They had watched it slowly grow up just like their own child. Receiving praise from a billionaire like Jasper Laine naturally made them feel a sense of accomplishment.

However, Hudson read into the situation more deeply. He stared at Jasper with a scorching gaze and asked, “Mr. Laine, do you intend to make an investment?”

What did Terizone need the most right now?

Money!
