Victory in Life
Chapter 634
After some time, the dimly lit door of the conference room opened.
A man with a tall body walked over and placed his palm on Conrad's shoulder. Conrad had not moved from the same position in the conference room for more than ten hours now.
"Dad! You apparently...."
Conrad called out with trembling lips.
"Time to go home."
In the darkness, the man's voice was heard.
"You are young. There is no harm in suffering some setbacks. The best diamonds should be cut."
"I refuse to accept this." Conrad clenched his hand.
"It's right to feel that way. If you refuse to accept this result, then find an opportunity to strike back."
"If you keep being humble, then you don't deserve to be my son, Steven Monty."
News of what happened in the Skyward Aluminum shareholders meeting spread like wildfire.
The Southeast is in chaos.
No one expected Jasper to win so easily at a shareholder meeting.
Meanwhile, Conrad, who was held in high esteem by the people in the Southeast Province, had fallen from his throne after this incident.
As it turned out, a genius who only appeared once every half-century was nothing but nonsense.
The glory he enjoyed back then was also how bad his fall was this time around. Those who scorned him also increased in number.
The turmoil in the outside world did not stop Jasper from executing his original plan.
After the shareholders meeting, the first thing Jasper did was to transfer all shares to Gale.
Not only that, Jasper and Dawson also received all of the Hanks family's properties throughout the Southeastern Province.
Without Gale's help, it was almost impossible for Jasper to get rid of the Hanks family so efficiently. After all, one should not underestimate a family that has been entrenched and operating in a province for decades.
In the end, when every last drop of blood was squeezed from the Hanks family, they declared bankruptcy.
Nevertheless, even if a camel starves to death, its meat is still very valuable.
Almost all the meat was divided between Jasper and Dawson, both his father and son-in-law.
As of now, the people in the Southeast Province were still paying attention to his dispute with the Monty family. No one noticed how Jasper benefited from this commotion in which he devoured the Hanks family.
This was precisely why Jasper worked with Gale in exchange for Haddock's support.
"There are 34 real estate, 28 of which are worth more than ten million, and almost all of them are commercial buildings located in thriving locations."
"There are also unexpired bond contracts and some miscellaneous equipment totalling 2.98 billion."
These assets fell into Jasper's hands as a form of compensation from Hanks for breaching the contract.
"Right, robbing is the best way to get rich quick."
Dawson was in such a good mood that he joked with Jasper.
Jasper said with a smile, "Actually, Hanks is much more capable than this, but their family members have taken everything they can when they escape. Also, my guess is that they've robbed their own hidden reserves."
Dawson said, "This explains exactly why I don't like family-run management. Even if they had blood ties, there would be rotten apples when there were too many people. Such a rotten apple, even if it was only one or two, was enough to make the whole family go bad in no time."
"What we need to do next is practice" Jasper said.
Dawson nodded in agreement and then said with a frown, "I've just received word that Steven Monty will be reappointed as chairman of the board of directors of Monty Enterprise after nearly ten years of retirement. This suggests that he plans to intervene to deal with the impact this storm has caused."
"They won't let this matter go." Jasper massaged his temple, and Conrad's face appeared in his mind.
