The overall living experience in the hot spring villa at the Champs Elys Spa Resort was much better compared to Thompson First.This villa was located on the mountainside with extremely beautiful scenery. The scenery was not only very excellent but most importantly, it was very peaceful and quiet here as the distance between each villa was very big, and there was a strong sense of privacy.Besides, although the price of the hot spring villa at the Champs Elys Spa Resort was about half the price of the villa at Thompson First, the hot spring villa at the Champs Elys Spa Resort was actually much larger in terms of construction and courtyard area.The housing prices in the city were very expensive, mainly because of the price of the land. Since the Champs Elys Spa Resort was located in the suburbs, the land price was much lower compared to that of the city.Claire really liked the environment here very much. For her, it had been a long time since she had had the opportunity to experie

She decided to adopt a joint venture, just like an automobile company, so that she could introduce Nippon Steel’s cutting-edge technology in her steel company.Volkswagen, Honda, and Ford have basically adopted this kind of joint venture idea. After twenty to thirty years of joint venture development, these companies had indeed achieved very impressive sales results.Nippon Steel was also very interested in this collaboration. After all, coupled with the Moore family’s strength, land, and certain experience in the steel industry, they were actually a very good potential partner for Nippon Steel.So, both of them had hit it off immediately, and all that was left was the discussion and formulation of the collaboration and partnership details.Jasmine’s intention was for the Moore family to hold 51% of the shares while Nippon Steel holds 49% of the shares, but Nippon Steel’s intention was for them to hold 51% of the shares, whereas the Moore family could hold 49% of the shares.Even

Jasmine knew that what the other party said was true.In truth, a top-notch steel group such as Nippon Steel was indeed very popular in any country.This was especially so because their strength in special steels was amongst the top in the world.Take the military industry for example.The most common gun barrels and artillery had very strict steel requirements.If the material was excellent, the lifespan and accuracy of the gun could reach its best potential. However, if the material was not up to par, the lifespan and accuracy of the gun would not work out at all.Some gun barrels would wear out so much after getting fired thousands of times that it would have to be replaced.Some gun barrels could even reach the end of their lifespan after simply hitting a few hundred rounds. If they were not handled well, there was even the possibility of an explosion. If these weapons were put to use on the battlefield, this could affect the battle situation and end results.Additionally,

‘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 in 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

Reuben was looking out the window at the river at this time as he smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Hashimoto, I just heard my sister saying that her collaboration and partnership negotiation with you does not seem to be going well at all.”Kazumi laughed before he said, “Your sister seems to be overthinking it a little. She wants to collaborate with Nippon Steel, but she also wants a 51% controlling stake in our partnership. How could that be possible? Even if I were to collaborate with anyone, Mr. Moore, the terms that you offered me are so much better compared to hers!”Reuben laughed as he said, “Of course. Women are always so petty when they do things, so it is often difficult to please them. As long as Mr. Moore is willing to work together with me, I will give 51% of the shares to Nippon Steel at that time. After that, I will also give Mr. Hashimoto 9% of the shares out of the 49% that I have in private!”Kazumi replied excitedly, “Mr. Moore, you are truly magnanimous! If that is

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.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% o
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2051
Jasmine was very upset at this time.She truly did not expect Nippon Steel to be so difficult to deal with.Moreover, she was placed in a very passive position throughout the entire negotiation process. She had already prepared and come up with so many plans, and she had even brought up her final trump card. However, it seemed as though she had failed to finalize their collaboration.Jasmine could not help but feel a strong sense of frustration deep down in her heart at this time.She also had a hunch that it would be very difficult for her to get the result that she wanted and was aiming for in this negotiation.Perhaps she would really have to return without any success this time.Jasmine told her family about her assumption on the way back to the hotel.Although Lord Moore was a little disappointed, he continued encouraging her as he sent a message: [Jasmine, you shouldn’t put too much stress and pressure on yourself in regards to the collaboration with Nippon Steel this time
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2052
Jasmine was a little surprised, and she could not help but wonder, ‘Why is Mr. Hashimoto calling me so late at night?! Could it be… could it be that they have already come up with a result for the collaboration and partnership?!’As she thought about this, Jasmine could not help but feel a little nervous. She hurriedly answered the phone as she asked, “Mr. Hashimoto, it is already so late at night. Is there a reason why you are calling me at this time?”Kazumi smiled and said, “Miss Moore, I have already given our chairman feedback on your final proposal for our collaboration today. He acknowledges your sincerity, and he asked me to inform you that we should sign the contract tonight because we should take resolute and effective measures to solve this complicated problem in an instant!”Jasmine did not expect that she would finally be able to hear the news that she had been anxiously anticipating. So, she asked in surprise, “Mr. Hashimoto, are you telling me the truth?!”Kazumi lau

Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should

Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e

Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,

Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl

Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i

Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove

Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc

The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider
