After a brief exchange of words between Ito Yuhiko and Watanabe Shinkazu, Ito Yuhiko shifted the conversation towards the main topic.


    “Shinwa, I have two reasons for visiting you today. First, I would like you to sample some bluefin tuna and taste Yamazaki 50-year-old whiskey,” he said.


    Watanabe Shinka smiled and inquired, “And what’s the second reason?”


    Ito Yuhiko grinned and replied, “Aren’t you interested in establishing a joint venture in China? I can introduce you to an excellent partner, Miss Jasmine from the Moore Group.”


    With that, Ito gestured towards Jasmine, who was seated at the dinner table.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Watanabe Shinka’s eyes widened in surprise as he finally noticed Jasmine.


    He was taken aback and eximed, “Moore… Miss Moore?! Isn’t it been reported on the news that she has been missing since the ident? How could she possibly be here?!”


    At that moment, Ito Yuhiko rified, “Miss Moore is a valued guest in my family. She encountered an emergency situation that required discretion about her whereabouts due to its sensitive nature. Shinwa, you must keep this confidential, understood?”


    Watanabe Shinka nodded vigorously, his expression serious. “Brother Ito, you can rest assured; I won’t breathe a word!”


    Ito Yuhiko smiled, satisfied with this assurance. “In that case, you will represent Nippon Steel and sign the cooperation agreement with Miss Moore!”


    He then added earnestly, “Shinwa, I’m counting on you to make appropriate concessions regarding the cooperation terms!”


    Without hesitation, Watanabe Shinka replied, “Brother Ito, since you’ve asked, I will certainly provide the best possible terms!”


    At this point, Jasmine stood up, addressing Watanabe Shinwa. “Mr. Watanabe, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you! I’m Jasmine, and I look forward to your guidance in the future.”


    Watanabe Shinka nodded with a smile, saying, “Miss Moore, as you are a distinguished guest of Brother Ito, you are also my esteemed guest. In our usual overseas coborations, we typically strive for majority ownership. However, since Brother Ito has spoken, let’s simplify things. You can hold 51% of the shares, and we will take 49%. How does that sound?”


    Jasmine’s primary goal for her trip to Japan was to secure a controlling partnership with Nippon Steel. She was thrilled at the prospect of the Moore Group holding 51%. Previously, she had engaged in lengthy discussions with Hashimoto, hoping for an equal 50% stake, but without sess. Therefore, Watanabe Shinka’s immediate agreement to grant the Moore Group 51% excited her greatly.<fn94c0> Newest update provided by Find_Novel(.</fn94c0>


    Jasmine quickly bowed to Watanabe Shinwa, expressing her gratitude. “Mr. Watanabe, thank you so much! I assure you that the Moore Group will not let you down!”


    Watanabe Shinka, understanding the dynamics at y, pointed to Ito Yuhiko beside him and earnestly stated, “Miss Moore, you should really thank Brother Ito for this arrangement. Since he has endorsed it, I am more than happy to agree.”


    For Watanabe Shinka, the favor owed by Jasmine was of secondary importance; his priority was to ensure that Ito Yuhiko remembered this gesture, which could be advantageous in the future.


    Upon hearing this, Jasmine looked at Ito Yuhiko with gratitude. “Mr. Ito, thank you for your assistance. I truly appreciate it!”


    Understanding the nuances, Ito Yuhiko quickly responded, “Miss Moore, ultimately, we owe our thanks to Mr. Wade for facilitating this.”


    Charlie observed the interaction between Ito Yuhiko and Watanabe Shinka with a slight smile. He was well aware of their motivations; it was a matter of mutual benefit—Watanabe Shinka was honoring Ito Yuhiko’s influence, and Ito Yuhiko was leveraging his own connections.
