Since there was no one going out to make money, they naturally had no food to cook. So, the family of four could only go hungry.Ever since Christopher and Harold kidnapped Elaine and accidentally kidnapped Carmen along with her by mistake, the Wilson family of four had all lost weight and they had all been living a very miserable life.Charlie and his family next door had already packed up some of their belongings at noon on the first day of New Year as they drove to the hot springs villa that Isaac had given to Charlie. Their family planned to stay and relax at the hot spring villa for two days.That night when they arrived at the hot spring villa, Carmen was sitting inside a shabby rental house as she stared gloomily at a pack of takeaway dumplings.Ever since Charlie had detained her in Aurous Hill, Carmen had been eating takeaway food every day.What was even more hateful was the fact that Charlie would not allow her to order the takeaway food on her own. All of the takeaway

Jeremiah frowned before he asked, “As a daughter of the Wade family, why can’t you have a little more patience or endurance? If you cannot even tolerate this kind of small matter, what else could you possibly do?”As he spoke, Jeremiah reminded her again, “By the way, from now on, make sure that you do not have any more conflicts with Charlie. Stop causing trouble for him and trying to get even with him endlessly just because of all these things. Charlie has already agreed to come back to attend the ancestor worship ceremony during the Tomb Sweeping Festival. This is a good start for him to finally return to the Wade family.”Carmen asked angrily, “Dad! Why are you always favoring that b*stard, Charlie, who has no respect or regard for his elders at all?! He is nothing more than a poor boy who had been living outside for so many years. He did not undergo any formal education or attended university at all. What kind of value does he hold for the Wade family? Why are you even asking hi

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

‘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

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
