'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 i n 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 dollars. The buyer offered only twenty dollars for the item and left the choice whether to sell it or not to the buyer, saying that if the seller refused to sell it at the price he offered, he would just head to another shop instead. That way, the buyer would be able to seize the
initiative. 5
However, if the seller's attitude was firm and he held his ground, refusing the price of twenty dollars offered, the buyer would lose all initiative.
Based on common logic, the buyer could only add up the price little by little until the buyer reached a price that satisfied the seller. The specific price of the transaction would depend entirely on the price that the seller was willing to sell the item for. It could be fifty dollars, seventy dollars, eighty dollars, or even ninety dollars. 3
However, the seller in front of Jasmine was not prepared to make any concessions at all.
He had a very firm and tough attitude when he was facing Jasmine. He was only going to sell this item for one hundred dollars and not a cent less. If Jasmine wanted to buy the item for ninety-nine dollars, the seller wouldn’t stop her from buying it in another shop or just going home to think it over first.
Jasmine had no room for any negotiations at all.
Therefore, the only way was for her to suspend the negotiation first so that she could slow down the rhythm before she came back and discussed the matter with him tomorrow.
