Since Jasmine had encountered harm from outsiders as well as members of the Moore family after going to Japan to discuss the collaboration details this time, Lord Moore originally thought that he would rather ask Jasmine to give up any further plans to continue extending their cooperation and collaboration 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 collaboration 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 a company like Moore Group wanted to collaborate 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 the land, local connections, and relations in order before inviting Nippon Steel over to collaborate 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 collaboration between two unequal parties, it would be inevitable for them to sign a very unequal contract. 3
The most common 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 balance 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
clauses or harsh conditions written in the contract?" 2
