Chapter 2049


    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 coboration and partnership negotiation with you


    does not seem to be going well at all."


    Kazumiughed before he said, "Your sister seems to b e overthinking it a little. She wants to


    coborate with Nippon Steel, but she also wants a 51% controlling stake in our partnership. How


    could that be possible? Even if I were to coborate with anyone, Mr. Moore, the terms that you


    offered me are so much betterpared to hers!" 2


    Reubenughed 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!" 4


    Kazumi replied excitedly, "Mr. Moore, you are truly magnanimous! If that is indeed the case, you will


    only be holding onto 40% of the shares at the end of the day!"

    Reuben replied indifferently, "Even if it is just 40%, it does not matter. I am not doing this to make


    money, but I am doing this because I want to build up a


    friendship with you, Mr. Hashimoto."


    Kazumi smiled as he said, "Mr. Moore, you are remarkably generous! But I want to know, what are


    the chances of our sess in this matter?" 2


    Reuben replied seriously, "As long as you can keep my sister in Tokyo, the chances of sess in


    this matter will certainly be 100%!" 1


    Kazumi replied, "Mr. Moore, it is not that I do not trust you. However, I heard that before your sister


    inherited the role as the head of the Moore family, the head of the Moore family seems to be none


    other than your grandfather. Even if I manage to retain your sister in Tokyo, are you confident that


    you will be able to take over the role as the head of the Moore family?" 2


    Reuben sneered before he said seriously, "My grandfather is already old, and it is difficult for him to


    even eat or work. Even if he truly wants to be the head of the family again, his spirit might be


    willing, but his flesh is weak." s


    Having said that, Reuben said again, "Mr. Hashimoto, don’t worry. Since I have already decided to


    do this, there’s no turning back, and I am determined to achieve my goals despite any setbacks. I


    am even prepared and willing to sacrifice my own rtives if they stand in my way! So, as long as


    you are willing to coborate with me, I will not let you down!" 7


    Kazumi smacked his lips, and he was deeply moved a s he said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Mr. Moore, you are


    really very courageous and knowledgeable, but there is one thing that I must speak frankly and


    warn you about."


    Reuben hurriedly said, "Mr. Hashimoto, please go ahead and speak."


    Kazumi replied, word by word, "Mr. Moore, I can help you resolve your trouble involving your sister.


    However, after I help you to solve this problem, you will have to honor your promise to me.


    Otherwise, the recording of our conversation might be transmitted to the Moore family or even to the


    police bureau in your country!" 2


    Reuben replied without any hesitation, "Mr.


    Hashimoto, you don''t have to worry about this. After this matter ispleted, I will certainly fulfill


    and honor my promise to you with all of my might!"


    Kazumi smiled slightly as he said, "If that is the case, Mr. Moore, you can just wait patiently for the


    good news, then!"


    The following day, the third day of the New Year.


    Jasmine rushed over to Nippon Steel early in the morning to continue negotiating with Kazumi


    regarding their coboration. 1


    After going back yesterday, Jasmine had thought about this matter the whole night. She hade


    up with all sorts of contingency ns as a backup to win Nippon Steel over. 2


    After the two parties sat down at the negotiation table,


    Jasmine took the lead in bringing up her first n.


    In her first set of ns, she insisted on holding onto 51 % of the controlling stake. However, in


    return, she was willing to adjust the profit ratio to 40% to 60% in the first five years of coboration


    between the two parties. 4


    In other words, she would be willing to give Nippon Steel 60% of the profit in the first five years


    before adjusting it to 55% after five years.
