Victory in Life
Chapter 534
"It's too late to think about what we're supposed to do now, but Jasper, we were thinking if you could help? it's fine if it's just Kai, but his family doesn't have to suffer from it either" John spoke hesitantly.
Jasper smiled faintly at John and replied, "You're too good a friend, John."
John waved at him. "Kai and I have been friends for more than a decade, there's no way I'm standing by and watching him kill myself."
Jasper asked, "Then how do you want me to help?"
Kai and John's eyes sparkled at Jasper's questions, especially Kai, as he did not expect Jasper to be willing to help him, Kai quickly replied, "I need an additional 3.5 million dollars, Kai said, and I wonder if you can lend me that amount? I promise to pay you back once this whole thing is over, Mr. Laine."
"Honestly, 3.5 million is not much at all," Jasper replied, seeing the excitement at Kai's expression, Jasper quickly continued, "But I have a series of investments after the New Year, and I have a series of investments, so I don't plan on lending you any money."
Just then, Kai and John's expressions changed.
John quickly spoke, "But Jasper ..."
"John," Kai cut him off, smiling bitterly as he
speaking, "Mr Laine has her own difficulties and reasons, I won't lend money to someone if they ask for 3.5 million all of a sudden, don't make it difficult for Mr. Laine."
John's words were at the end of his tongue as he sighed and swallowed it back, choosing to say something else. "I'm outrageous."
Then, John raised the wine glass to Jasper. "Don't say anything, Jasper, sorry I shouldn't have forced this on you, I'll have a glass of it as punishment."
John then tilted his head back and gulped it down.
Jasper couldn't even stop him in time and smiled bitterly. "Calm down, let me finish talking first."
Jasper turned to talk to Kai, "How much liquid funds do you have now?"
Kai did not hide at all and replied, "I still have 800,000, but that's all the funds I have, the Client wants to take four million next week, he said, so I only have 800,000 until next Monday."
Jasper thought about it and replied, "Today is only Wednesday, two working days until then, that's enough."
John quickly replied, "What's on your mind, Jasper? tell us, we're very curious."
Jasper smile. "I thought I could help Kai, but it's a big risk, fast stock trading in the futures market."
"If we're lucky, we'll manage to fill the four million gap you need, but of course, we'll, there's no absolute guarantee that the investment will work and you could potentially lose the 800,000 dollars you have as well, it's up to you to decide."
Hearing that, John immediately stopped talking and turned to Kai.
This is a life and death choice, no matter how close they are, John is in no position to make a decision for Kai.
Kai struggled out for a moment before clenching his jaw to answer, "That client is someone with an incredible background, I would be screwed if I couldn't pay him back, she said, so I might as well bet this 800,000 dollars! I believe in you, Mr. Laine!"
"But I have to call someone to tell them first, Mr. Laine," Kai suddenly said.
Jasper slightly furrowed his brows. "Oh? please, then."
Kai saw Jasper's displeasure and quickly explained himself, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Laine, I trust you, I believe, but we also think you don't want to help us, that's why I called Mr. Ray, the best investor in the province, and asked for his help."
"Now that I have chosen to accept your help, it is only natural that I refuse Mr. Ray."
