Jasmine was fully aware that the ims made by the opposing party were far from the truth.


    In reality, a prestigious steelpany like Nippon Steel was highly coveted by nations around the globe.


    Notably, their expertise in special steel was unparalleled worldwide.


    Special steel is incredibly versatile, and as industries be more advanced, the demand for special steel increases significantly.<fnd235> Original content can be found at find?novel</fnd235>


    This is particrly true for sectors such as the military.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The standards for materials used in gun barrels and cannon barrels are exceptionally stringent.


    When the right materials are utilized, the lifespan and precision of firearms and artillery can be maximized; however, if subpar materials are used, both longevity and uracy will inevitably suffer.


    Some barrels, after being fired just a few thousand times, endure enough wear to necessitate recement.


    Others, after only a few hundred shots, can be sopromised that they risk catastrophic failure, especially inbat situations where reliability is crucial.


    Furthermore, the steel used in tank armor, helicopter shielding, and aircraft carrier decks must meet extremely high standards.


    Consequently, manypanies aspire to establish strong partnerships with an organization like Nippon Steel.


    However, Nippon Steel is quite astute.


    They not only seek out international coborations but also meticulously guard their patents and research findings.


    Even when agreements are reached, they typically do not share their most advanced technologies.


    At best, they offer scaled-down versions of their products for civilian applications, while cutting-edge military technologies remain strictly in-house.


    In their negotiations with the Moore family, Nippon Steel soughtplete control.


    They wanted the Moore family to invest resources, manpower, andnd while remaining firmly under Nippon Steel’s authority.


    If the Moore family epted these terms, Nippon Steel would gradually turn them into mere puppets or eliminate them from the equation altogether.


    Jasmine hadn’t anticipated that even after granting New Japan Railway an additional two points of revenue rights, they would still refuse to agree.


    Left with no choice, she gritted her teeth and proposed, “Mr. Hashimoto, I can offer New Nippon Steel another segment of the profit rights, allowing New Nippon Steel to receive 55% of the profit, while the Moore family would take 45%. How does that sound?”


    Offering a reduction of five points was already a significantpromise for Jasmine.


    To her surprise, Hashimoto Kensen shook his head without hesitation, a faint smile on his lips, and replied, “Miss Moore, our stance at New Nippon Steel is clear: we will not relinquish our controlling interest. If you cannot agree to this condition, then there is no point in continuing our discussion.”


    Jasmine instantly felt cornered.


    She couldn’t help but think to herself, “Here I am, representing the Moore family and proactively seeking a partnership with New Nippon Steel, yet they have seized control and are demanding a majority stake without any willingness to negotiate…. If I persist in my position, I may end up with nothing to show for this effort…”


    “If this negotiation ultimately proves fruitless, then all the groundwork I’veid will have been in vain…”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
