Chapter 2046
She decided to adopt a joint venture, just like an automobile company, so that she could introduce Nippon Steel’s cutting-edge technology in her steel company.Volkswagen, Honda, and Ford have basically adopted this kind of joint venture idea. After twenty to thirty years of joint venture development, these companies had indeed achieved very impressive sales results.Nippon Steel was also very interested in this collaboration. After all, coupled with the Moore family’s strength, land, and certain experience in the steel industry, they were actually a very good potential partner for Nippon Steel.So, both of them had hit it off immediately, and all that was left was the discussion and formulation of the collaboration and partnership details.Jasmine’s intention was for the Moore family to hold 51% of the shares while Nippon Steel holds 49% of the shares, but Nippon Steel’s intention was for them to hold 51% of the shares, whereas the Moore family could hold 49% of the shares.Even

Jasmine knew that what the other party said was true.In truth, a top-notch steel group such as Nippon Steel was indeed very popular in any country.This was especially so because their strength in special steels was amongst the top in the world.Take the military industry for example.The most common gun barrels and artillery had very strict steel requirements.If the material was excellent, the lifespan and accuracy of the gun could reach its best potential. However, if the material was not up to par, the lifespan and accuracy of the gun would not work out at all.Some gun barrels would wear out so much after getting fired thousands of times that it would have to be replaced.Some gun barrels could even reach the end of their lifespan after simply hitting a few hundred rounds. If they were not handled well, there was even the possibility of an explosion. If these weapons were put to use on the battlefield, this could affect the battle situation and end results.Additionally,

‘However, if I give up on the controlling interest, that would be equivalent to giving up all autonomy. In the future, Nippon Steel will be deciding on almost all of the affairs of the company, then. If that is the case, the Moore family will be in a very passive position…’When Kazumi saw her in a dilemma, he smiled as he said, “Miss Moore, we do not have to settle this issue in a hurry. You can go back and think about it first. We can make an appointment tomorrow to talk about this matter again. What do you think?”Jasmine hesitated for a moment before she nodded gently.She knew very well that she had no initiative or advantage in this round of negotiations at all.If they continued with the discussion like this, she would only be placed in an even more passive situation.This was just like buying an item inside a store. If the seller was very anxious to make a move, the buyer would naturally have more bargaining power. For instance, a seller was selling an item for one hundred

Reuben was looking out the window at the river at this time as he smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Hashimoto, I just heard my sister saying that her collaboration and partnership negotiation with you does not seem to be going well at all.”Kazumi laughed before he said, “Your sister seems to be overthinking it a little. She wants to collaborate with Nippon Steel, but she also wants a 51% controlling stake in our partnership. How could that be possible? Even if I were to collaborate with anyone, Mr. Moore, the terms that you offered me are so much better compared to hers!”Reuben laughed as he said, “Of course. Women are always so petty when they do things, so it is often difficult to please them. As long as Mr. Moore is willing to work together with me, I will give 51% of the shares to Nippon Steel at that time. After that, I will also give Mr. Hashimoto 9% of the shares out of the 49% that I have in private!”Kazumi replied excitedly, “Mr. Moore, you are truly magnanimous! If that is

Kazumi’s attitude had changed slightly compared to yesterday.He did not reject Jasmine’s proposal as simply as he had done yesterday. Instead, he started beating around the bush with Jasmine.He gave very ambiguous replies on many matters, and he neither agreed nor refused on all these points. This kind of attitude where he would neither listen to reason nor yield to force made Jasmine feel very helpless.Both parties continued their negotiations from morning until evening. Jasmine had already adjusted the profit-sharing portion for Nippon Steel to 65% for the first five years, but Mr. Hashimoto still refused to agree on her proposal.At this point, Jasmine truly had no other choice but to unveil her trump card as she said, “Mr. Hashimoto, it seems that both of us are unwilling to give ground when it comes to the controlling interest. I wonder what you will think of this proposal, then? Each of us will hold 50% of the shares, and under any circumstances, each of us will have 50% o
Chapter 2051
Jasmine was very upset at this time.She truly did not expect Nippon Steel to be so difficult to deal with.Moreover, she was placed in a very passive position throughout the entire negotiation process. She had already prepared and come up with so many plans, and she had even brought up her final trump card. However, it seemed as though she had failed to finalize their collaboration.Jasmine could not help but feel a strong sense of frustration deep down in her heart at this time.She also had a hunch that it would be very difficult for her to get the result that she wanted and was aiming for in this negotiation.Perhaps she would really have to return without any success this time.Jasmine told her family about her assumption on the way back to the hotel.Although Lord Moore was a little disappointed, he continued encouraging her as he sent a message: [Jasmine, you shouldn’t put too much stress and pressure on yourself in regards to the collaboration with Nippon Steel this time
Chapter 2052
Jasmine was a little surprised, and she could not help but wonder, ‘Why is Mr. Hashimoto calling me so late at night?! Could it be… could it be that they have already come up with a result for the collaboration and partnership?!’As she thought about this, Jasmine could not help but feel a little nervous. She hurriedly answered the phone as she asked, “Mr. Hashimoto, it is already so late at night. Is there a reason why you are calling me at this time?”Kazumi smiled and said, “Miss Moore, I have already given our chairman feedback on your final proposal for our collaboration today. He acknowledges your sincerity, and he asked me to inform you that we should sign the contract tonight because we should take resolute and effective measures to solve this complicated problem in an instant!”Jasmine did not expect that she would finally be able to hear the news that she had been anxiously anticipating. So, she asked in surprise, “Mr. Hashimoto, are you telling me the truth?!”Kazumi lau

The vehicle that Jasmine was in quickly drove out of downtown Tokyo and continued toward the mountainous areas in the western suburbs of Tokyo.Although there were many mountainous terrains in Japan, the capital of Tokyo was located in the Kanto Plain. Hence, the entire Tokyo was located on flat terrains, and there were almost no peaks in the city. There were only mountainous areas near the Nishitama District after heading west for dozens of kilometers.The mountainous areas were mostly filled with winding roads, but the conditions of the roads were all very good. Jasmine’s commercial vehicle continued driving on a winding road with many twists and turns with a gradually increasing altitude.As they were in the mountainous areas and since it was already late at night, there were almost no other cars driving along the winding road which was dozens of kilometers long. If anyone were to look down from the sky, only the car that Jasmine was in could be seen with its lights on as it circ
