Chapter 388: 382: Trading Company

But at this moment, the usually formidable Jay Sommer was sitting there with an uncharacteristically gentle expression. Jason speculated that probably only someone like his brother could tame the aura of a strong woman like Jay. He sighed in admiration, though he quickly set such thoughts aside and sat patiently, waiting for Finn Lewis to speak.

“Why am I here, you cheeky lad? Now you’ve even learned Federation Language,” Finn laughed.

“Well, I can only speak it, writing is still far beyond my reach,” Jason responded, scratching his head awkwardly.

“Not bad, you do realize how you were before. I’m quite pleased with the progress you’re making now,” Finn nodded approvingly and continued to speak with a smile.

“I have a task for you,” Finn stated bluntly.

“What is it, brother? I’m ready to take it on, just tell me,” Jason replied without hesitation.

“I want to establish a trade and logistics company. We need to purchase a few things from various domestic enterprises. I want you to set up this company and get it up and running as quickly as possible,” Finn went straight to the point.

“What? Brother, I don’t think I can handle this. I’m still in the learning phase, it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to run a company. I haven’t even finished middle school! Sure, I’ve only been getting 5 or 6 hours of sleep and cramming non-stop these past few months, but my foundation is still too weak. Many times, I have to use sneaky tricks to get by,” Jason explained hastily. He knew very well his own capabilities.

As for the Federation Language, he could speak it, but reading and writing were completely out of the question, at least for now. He still needed many assistants. Jason also knew very well that if it were not for Jay, who was under the guidance of his brother, he would never have been able to occupy his current position as the logistics director. Even in his current position, Jason felt immense pressure. There were tons of matters that needed his attention each day. Granted, part of this was because Blue Wind Technology Company was not huge, and as a result, the logistics department did not have an overwhelming amount of tasks to handle.

“If I say you can, then you can. I will personally assign an assistant to you. Also, is there anyone in our company you’d like to bring along to form your initial team? Furthermore, I will find you an assistant who is no less competent than Jay,” Finn stated decisively.

“Uh, brother, if there is such a person, wouldn’t it be better for me to be the deputy?” Jason immediately felt overwhelmed by the pressure. An assistant whose competencies could rival Jay’s? Jay was a multilingual speaker with four Master’s degrees and a formidable presence in the industry. Such a person would be the assistant to someone who hadn’t even completed middle school?

Jason could not help but be anxious. Could he really manage someone like Jay? He said, “There is no outsider here, brother. I must confess, this company is extremely important to my entire business empire. So, I need one of my own kind to be in charge, not any outsiders. Understand? Why would I use outsiders when my own kin is available? You don’t have to understand the specifics right now. I will find you an assistant, and all you need to do is steer the general direction.”

“To give you a rough idea, I’m going to find you a professional manager, and you will be the chairman. You just need to have overall control over the trade company. As for the team, I expect them to do their work and not concern themselves with miscellaneous matters. Do you understand what I’m getting at?” Finn explained.

“I understand,” Jason nodded immediately. Hearing Finn’s words touched him deeply. He knew that despite their significant differences, Finn had not forgotten about his little brother.

“That’s the spirit. You just need to keep the company on track. As for professional skills, hiring professionals will suffice. Got it? Let me know if you need anything,” Finn spoke, sounding very decisive.

“Yes, I will do my best. But I do have a question. Brother, what exactly are we purchasing for this trading and logistics company? And how soon should this all be done?” Jason asked.

“It’s going to be a large-scale operation in the future, so we’ll need to purchase lots of goods. For the time being, we are looking for industrial machines as well as associated ores and the like. Don’t worry about the purchase trade orders, we’ll have plenty of those. Your main focus for now should be to approach various companies to negotiate contracts,” Finn responded promptly.

Jason nodded and was silent for a while. He then finally looked up at Finn and asked, “Bro, do you remember those two girls, Ella Long and Skyler Worthington, when you took me to that club in Hello City? Do you have their contact information?”

“Yes.” Finn remembered he had their numbers, and even if he didn’t, he knew Olivia Thatcher would be able to find them.

“Good, I want to hire them. My company needs them,” Jason spoke definitively.

“Alright, I will personally call them and bring them to you,” Finn replied with a smile.

Finn was quite straightforward, which made Jason slightly embarrassed. He scratched his head before timidly asking, “Well, aren’t you going to ask why I need them?”

“Why?” Finn held back his laughter. He almost burst out laughing, knowing that Jason must be mulling over how Finn might perceive his desire to impress these two beauties with his recent accomplishments, status, and position. Nevertheless, Finn did not expose Jason’s thoughts. Instead, he asked Jason, with a teasing tone.

“Uh, I mean, well, I didn’t realize before, but after working these past few months, I’ve noticed that their managerial skills and psychological grasp of people are quite extraordinary. We could really use their negotiation skills,” Jason scratched his head. Something felt off, but he shared his thoughts anyway.

“Well, if that’s what you think, then go ahead and hire them,” Finn replied, stifling his laughter.

“But… but…” Jason stuttered, struggling to articulate his thoughts.
