Chapter 2193
Since Jasmine had encountered harm from outsiders as well as members of the Moore family after
going to Japan to discuss the coboration details this time, Lord Moore originally thought that he
would rather ask Jasmine to give up any further ns to continue extending their cooperation and
coboration overseas. This was because he wanted to prevent her from encountering this kind of
danger again in the future. 5
However, he never would have expected her to obtain such a generous coboration contract with
Nippon Steel.
Nippon Steel was a leader in the global steel industry. I n this industry, their right to speak was
extremely high. If apany like Moore Group wanted to coborate with them, they would have to
go and beg and plead for it.
They would not only have to request for it, but they would also have to prepare and get all thend,
local connections, and rtions in order before inviting Nippon Steel over to coborate with them.
This feeling was tantamount to tidying up a bedroom i n one’s own house before rushing to other
people''s house to invite them over to stay at your house for a few days. 2
It could be said that they would have to have an extremely humble attitude.
Generally speaking, for this kind of coboration between two unequal parties, it would be inevitable
for them to sign a very unequal contract. 3
The mostmon unequal contract was for the weaker party to contribute a lot of money to obtain
a small benefit, whereas the other party would only contribute lesser money to obtain a great
benefit.
However, who would have imagined that Jasmine would be able to subvert Nippon Steel, to bnce
the standing between Moore Group and Nippon Steel?! She had actually managed to get Nippon
Steel to contribute more money but obtain a smaller benefit instead! This was something that no
one ever dared to think of. 7
There were many people on the board of directors who thought that this was all just a fantasy.
However, they did not dare to question Jasmine directly because she was the chairman. So, they
could only whisper and discuss this matter amongst themselves.
Very soon, an old director stood up and said," Chairman, as far as I know, Nippon Steel has never
been willing to sacrifice the controlling interest. Will the other party fulfill the terms of the contract
that you have just mentioned? Are there any hidden

uses or harsh conditions written in the contract?" 2
In truth, setting traps in a contract was indeed a very
Many established capitalists liked to set traps for their opponents or partners in a contract. 2
Many entrepreneurs who obtained generous investments from capitalists when they started their
own businesses were always very determined to secure a big job.
If it was done well, everyone would naturally be happy.
However, if things did not go well, there would inevitably be big trouble.
Some investors would always require the investee to add on an unlimited joint and several liability
uses i n the contract. Even though unlimited joint and several liability uses were just six simple
words, the power that these words held could easily make an investee go bankrupt, s
This was because as soon as a person signed the unlimited joint and several liability, the investor
would have the right to demand that the investee use his own money topensate the investor for
all the money lost in the investment if the transaction did not go well and caused thepany to
lose money.
For instance, there was a case where the owner of a cell phone number signed an unlimited joint
and several liability. In the end, even after the failure of the business, he still owed up to four
hundred million dors in debt. 4
There were also many founders ofpanies who were eventually driven out of thepanies that
they worked so hard to build up because they could notpensate the investors. They had even
gone bankrupt and was sent to prison. 4
Therefore, the directors were all very worried whether there would be any simr uses or terms
hidden in the contract signed by Jasmine. 3
Jasmine did not bother exining much. Instead, she simply took out the contract from her bag as
she said," This is the original copy of the contract signed between the chairman of Nippon Steel,
Watanabe Shinwa, and myself. You can check it out and see if there are any problems in the terms
of the contract.”
The old director stretched out his hand to take the contract, and a crowd of people quickly gathered
around him. 2
Even Lord Moore could not hold it back anymore, and he hurriedly stepped forward because he
wanted to see it clearly for himself.
