Chapter 1073
At this moment, Watanabe Shinwa immediately said to Song Wanting with a flattering face, "Miss Song, Mr. Ye and I just had an in-depth conversation, and I feel like I've known Mr. Ye for years, so I have decided to readjust the terms of our contract."
Song Wanting was somewhat surprised and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Watanabe, how do you plan to adjust them?"
Watanabe Shinwa smiled and said, "How about this: both sides will contribute capital at a 50-50 ratio, but in terms of equity distribution, your company will hold 60%, and our Nippon Steel will hold 40%!"
Song Wanting was instantly stunned!
She could not understand what kind of maneuver this was on Watanabe Shinwa's part!
Why would he suddenly give away 10% of the shares for nothing?
The next moment, she immediately looked at Ye Chen, her intuition telling her that it must have been during the time she and Nanako were away that Ye Chen had re-negotiated this condition with Watanabe Shinwa on her behalf!
She was incredibly shocked in her heart: "What kind of method did Master Ye use to make Watanabe Shinwa make such a huge concession?! In this way, hasn't Master Ye incurred a favor from Watanabe Shinwa on my behalf?"
Thinking of this, Song Wanting felt somewhat apprehensive.
She actually never intended to take advantage of Nippon Steel.
What she actually wanted was just a 51% controlling stake.
Of course, she wouldn't take the controlling stake for nothing either.
She would not only contribute capital according to the 51% ratio but also provide land and local connections to push for the rapid implementation of the cooperative project.
However, right now, Nippon Steel was clearly offering her a massive bargain!
Just as she didn't know what to do, Ye Chen spoke up: "Wanting, since Mr. Watanabe is so sincere, I say you should sign the contract now. Once we return to the country and finish handling domestic matters, we can push for the implementation of the cooperation with Mr. Watanabe."
Upon hearing this, Song Wanting hurriedly said, "Master Ye, this... this... is it appropriate..."
Ye Chen smiled: "There is nothing inappropriate about it. Mr. Watanabe is showing full sincerity; surely you don't want to back out of the cooperation again?"
Song Wanting hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Ye Chen smiled: "Then just go ahead and sign the contract with peace of mind."
Watanabe Shinwa also hurriedly echoed: "That's right, Miss Song. I am very much looking forward to cooperating with the Song Group. Let's sign the contract early to avoid any complications! With such excellent partners as Miss Song and the Song Group, I really fear that you might choose not to cooperate with us and turn to others instead!"
Song Wanting was already shocked beyond measure in her heart.
Watanabe Shinwa's words were truly putting her and the Song Group on too high a pedestal.
To be honest, it was the Song Group that was eager to cooperate with Nippon Steel, and Nippon Steel was a world-class steel group, ranked first in Japan and among the top globally; how could the Song Group possibly turn to cooperate with others?
However, for Watanabe Shinwa to say this meant he was lowering his own status to flatter Song Wanting; his posture could be said to have been lowered extremely low.
Ye Chen also said at this time: "Wanting, don't dawdle. Everyone is still waiting to eat. Sign the contract quickly so we can start the meal. After eating, get ready; we still have to go to the pier to catch the boat."
Upon hearing this, Song Wanting no longer hesitated, gave Ye Chen a grateful look, and then immediately said to Watanabe Shinwa: "Mr. Watanabe, let's sign the contract now!"
Watanabe Shinwa naturally agreed readily: "Good, good, good, sign it quickly!"
Ito Yuhiko instructed his subordinates to prepare a portable printer, and then the two of them modified the data on the contract that had already been prepared on the computer, printed it out, signed it, and exchanged copies.
Song Wanting was very excited, because with this contract, the Song Group would definitely make great strides in the future!
If managed well, it might eventually become the new number one family in Jiangnan.
Watanabe Shinwa was even more excited.
Becoming a complete man again was more important to him than anything else.
Moreover, having gotten to know someone with such great supernatural powers as Ye Chen, there would surely be more unimaginable benefits in the future.
Therefore, this deal was even more of a bargain for him.
Ito Yuhiko, standing to the side, was equally excited.
After drinking that cup of water from Ye Chen, he clearly felt his body become much more solid all of a sudden.
Before, he had always felt a bit weak, as if he would fall over at a gust of wind, but now he felt his physical strength, energy, and spirit were all extremely abundant—better than they had ever been.
Except for his amputated legs which could not be restored, everything else felt similar to before he was injured, and perhaps even slightly stronger than back then.
This was also of great benefit to him; after all, now that his physical energy and spirit had recovered significantly, he could prepare for rehabilitation training.
Rehabilitation training for disabled and amputee populations is very physically demanding and impossible to perform when the body is weak.
Moreover, if Ito Yuhiko wanted to wear prosthetic limbs, he would need to undergo a series of adaptive training combined with the prosthetics, which placed even higher demands on physical strength.
Originally, he would have needed at least another half a year of recuperation before it was even possible to start rehabilitation and prosthetic adaptive training.
Now, Ye Chen had saved him at least half a year of time.
Once Song Wanting and Watanabe Shinwa finished signing the contract, Ito Yuhiko immediately arranged for the chef to start slicing fish, and he personally opened the fifty-year-old whiskey he had specially prepared.
This meal was enjoyed by both host and guests.
Ito Yuhiko was happy, Watanabe Shinwa was happy, and Song Wanting went without saying.
Ye Chen was also in a good mood; after all, being able to help Song Wanting secure more benefits with a mere flick of his hand would provide greater help for her to control the Song family in the future, making her grip on the family even more consolidated.
However, Ito Nanako felt a bit lost in her heart.
After all, Ye Chen was leaving tonight, and during this trip to Tokyo, she had hardly had any opportunity to get close to him.
Therefore, throughout the meal, Ito Nanako kept stealing glances at Ye Chen, her eyes as gentle as water, filled with deep reluctance.
After the meal, according to the etiquette of Japanese noble families for entertaining guests, all the food and drink were to be cleared away, followed by a tea ceremony to entertain the guests.
However, Watanabe Shinwa was clearly unable to sit still.
His body's reaction had been intense and vigorous, to the point where he had long been distracted, dying to get home quickly to give his wife a surprise, and at the same time, properly rediscover that god-like happy feeling from years ago.
Therefore, after the meal, he stood up impatiently, bowed to everyone, and said: "Brother Ito, Mr. Ye, Miss Song, I have matters at home, so I will take my leave first! Thank you, Brother Ito, for your generous hospitality! And thank you, Mr. Ye, for your help! I am deeply grateful!"
Ito Yuhiko naturally knew what he was in such a hurry to do, so he nodded and smiled: "Alright, hurry back then!"
Ye Chen also smiled and said: "It's getting late, Mr. Watanabe, go back and rest early."
Watanabe Shinwa hurriedly said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, I wonder if I might have the honor of exchanging contact information with you?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "I'll have Mr. Ito send you my mobile number later."
Watanabe Shinwa was instantly overjoyed; as long as Ye Chen was willing to exchange contact information with him, if he encountered any issues in the future, he could still ask him for help!
