The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2050

Kazumi’s attitude had changed slightly compared to yesterday.

He did not reject Jasmine’s proposal as simply as he had done yesterday. Instead, he started beating around the bush with Jasmine.

He gave very ambiguous replies on many matters, and he neither agreed nor refused on all these points. This kind of attitude where he would neither listen to reason nor yield to force made Jasmine feel very helpless, i

Both parties continued their negotiations from morning until evening. Jasmine had already adjusted the profit-sharing portion for Nippon Steel to 65% for the first five years, but Mr. Hashimoto still refused to agree on her proposal.

At this point, Jasmine truly had no other choice but to unveil her trump card as she said, "Mr. Hashimoto, it seems that both of us are unwilling to give ground when it comes to the controlling interest. I wonder what you will think of this proposal, then? Each of us will hold 50% of the shares, and under any circumstances, each of us will have 50% of the voting rights. We have equal say and decisions on all our collaboration matters. If there comes a day where both sides can no longer make progress in the collaboration, we will also distribute all remaining

assets equally on a 50% to 50% basis!"

Kazumi frowned, and he sighed as he said, "Miss Moore, if both parties hold 50% of the shares equally, that would be equivalent to no one having the initiative at all. If we have any dispute or disagreement in the future, how are we going to resolve this matter? If neither one of us could make the final decision, wouldn't we be caught in an infinite loop where we would not be able to advance further as long as we are dissatisfied with one another, then?" 3

Jasmine replied with a serious expression, "Mr. Hashimoto, if both of us are determined to make the best of our collaboration, even if there are any disputes, I believe that we will be able to calmly resolve them instead of coming to a sticky end through fighting each other.

After that, Jasmine continued, "If you sincerely want t o collaborate with us, the equity distribution of 50-50 would not be an issue at all. However, if you do not have this sincerity, even if you were to hold onto the holding stake, it would indeed be very difficult for us t o continue with our partnership.”

Kazumi replied embarrassedly, "Miss Moore, there is a saying in your country which goes, 'We should make everything clear even if they sound harsh before making a good deal out of courtesy later'. Since this is going to be a collaboration and partnership between both of us, it is only natural for us to consider the worst scenarios first. Don't you think so?"

Jasmine replied, "Mr. Hashimoto, even if we are going to hold 50% of the shares each, you will still hold onto another extra 5% of the income profit. This is the last concession that the Moore Group can agree to. If you think that we can continue with this collaboration, we will continue with our discussion. If not, I have to apologize for disturbing you. Whether to carry on with this collaboration or not, it's all your choice."
