Chapter 1034: The speed is really fast!

~7 min read 1,382 words

Song Wanting knew that what the other party said was not false.

Actually, a top steel group like Nippon Steel was a very popular piece of cake for any country.

Especially their strength in special steel was top-notch globally.

Special steel had a very wide range of uses, and the more high-precision and cutting-edge the field, the higher the demand for special steel.

For example, the military industry.

For the most common gun barrels and artillery barrels, the requirements for steel were very harsh.

If the material was excellent, the lifespan and accuracy of the guns and artillery could reach the best level, but if the material was not good, the lifespan and accuracy of the guns and artillery would naturally not be good.

Some gun barrels would be severely worn out after firing a few thousand times, to the point where they had to be replaced.

Some artillery barrels would reach their lifespan after firing a few hundred shells, and if not handled well, there was a possibility of the barrel exploding. Once put into use on the battlefield, it might affect the war situation and results.

Besides this, tank armor, helicopter armor, and aircraft carrier decks all had extremely high requirements for steel.

Therefore, everyone hoped to conduct deep cooperation with an enterprise like Nippon Steel.

However, Nippon Steel was also very shrewd.

Their cooperation with the outside world was not only very greedy, but they were also very cautious and careful about patents and scientific research results.

Even if cooperation was reached, they wouldn't take out their top-notch results that were at the bottom of the box.

At most, they would use some castrated versions of products to cover the civilian field; cutting-edge technology in the military field was never open to the outside world.

This time, cooperating with the Song family, what they wanted was absolute control.

While letting the Song family provide people, money, land, and effort, they also wanted them to work under their hands and follow their instructions.

As long as the Song family agreed to this condition, they would use a few years to gradually turn the Song family into their puppet, or sweep the Song family out of the game.

Song Wanting didn't expect that she had given Nippon Steel an extra two percentage points of profit rights, but Nippon Steel still didn't agree.

Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Mr. Hashimoto, I can give Nippon Steel another portion of profit rights. For the net profits in the future, Nippon Steel will divide 55%, and the Song family will divide 45%. How about this?"

Giving up five percentage points in one breath was a huge compromise and concession for Song Wanting.

Unexpectedly, Hashimoto Kin-saki shook his head without hesitation and said with a faint smile, "Miss Song, Nippon Steel's requirement is that we will never give up controlling power. If you cannot agree to the issue of controlling power, then there is no need for us to continue talking."

Song Wanting instantly felt very passive.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "Now, it is I, representing the Song family, who took the initiative to want to cooperate with Nippon Steel, so Nippon Steel has directly grasped my mentality, strongly demanding controlling power, and not taking a step back at all... If I continue to insist, then maybe this matter won't be talked about..."

"If I return empty-handed this time, then all the preparatory work I did will have been in vain..."

"But then again, if I give up controlling power, it is equivalent to giving up all autonomy. In the future, almost all matters of the enterprise will be decided by Nippon Steel, then the Song family will be too passive..."

Seeing that her expression was a bit conflicted, Hashimoto Kin-saki smiled and said, "Miss Song, this matter doesn't have to be decided immediately. You can consider it first, and we will make an appointment to talk about it tomorrow. What do you think?"

Song Wanting hesitated again and again, and nodded lightly.

She knew very well that in this round of negotiations, she had no initiative at all.

Continuing to talk like this would only make her more and more passive.

This was like buying something in a shop. If the seller was anxious to sell, the buyer's room for bargaining would be relatively large. For example, the seller asks for one hundred, the buyer comes directly with twenty, and then adds, if you sell, you sell, if not, forget it, if you don't sell, I'll go to another shop. Immediately, they could firmly grasp the initiative.

However, if the seller's mentality was very stable, and the buyer comes with twenty, the other party directly says, go to another shop and take a look. This immediately made the buyer lose the initiative.

According to normal logic, the buyer could only add a little bit, until the price could satisfy the seller. How much it would be traded for depended on the seller's psychological price. It could be fifty, it could be seventy or eighty, or even ninety.

However, the seller in front of Song Wanting didn't intend to make any concessions at all.

He gave Song Wanting a very tough attitude. This thing must be bought for one hundred, not a cent less. If you want to take it for ninety-nine, sorry, then go to another shop and take a look, or go back and think about it carefully.

Song Wanting had no room for maneuver now. The only way was to pause the negotiations, slow down the rhythm, and continue talking tomorrow.

Therefore, she nodded, stood up, and said, "Mr. Hashimoto, let both of us consider it carefully. If it is convenient for you, I will come over tomorrow morning."

"No problem!" Hashimoto Kin-saki smiled, stood up, shook hands with Song Wanting, and said, "Miss Song, I will see you out."

After Song Wanting left Nippon Steel, she and her assistant got into the rented nanny car and returned to the hotel first.

At the same time, she sent a message in the family's WeChat group: "Nippon Steel insists on 51% controlling power and won't take a step back. I made a concession on profit rights to 55%, but they remained unmoved. I have already left Nippon Steel. Tonight, let's organize the negotiation script well, and I will come to talk to them for another round tomorrow."

Old Master Song immediately sent a voice message: "Nippon Steel's appetite has always been very large, but don't take them too seriously, because I learned some time ago that Nippon Steel's days are not easy either!"

Immediately after, the old master sent another voice message: "They have continuously engaged in several large investment projects in the past few years, but they didn't succeed and wasted a lot of funds, so their revenue pressure this year is very high. Although they seem very calm on the surface, they must also be very eager for cooperation with us in their hearts. It's nothing more than wanting to put on airs and strive for more benefits."

Song Rongyu also sent a message: "Wanting, don't be anxious, find their flaws, and then grasp them, they will definitely compromise."

"Mhm." The old master also said: "It's already February now, they will soon release last year's financial report. If the financial data is not good-looking, not only will the shareholders trouble them, but the retail investors will also complain. In that case, their stock price will inevitably fall. If they can announce the cooperation with us before the financial report is released, it can also boost the mood of shareholders and retail investors."

Song Wanting replied: "Okay, I will prepare well after returning to the hotel, and I will talk to them again tomorrow!"

At this very moment, Hashimoto Kin-saki's phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed that this call came from Jin Ling in the neighboring country.

Song Rongyu was currently in a luxurious duplex apartment in the city center of Jin Ling, listening to the prompt tone in the phone with a wireless landline.

Hashimoto Kin-saki answered the phone and said with a smile: "Mr. Song's speed is really fast, your sister just left, and your call came right after!" ===== CHAPTER 1035 =====
