Harmony returned, and on the morning of April 8, negotiations continued, and Zhu Tong and Smith finally began to exchange ideas on specific issues.

For half a year before, all the plans and calculations of both sides were for the arrival of this moment. When it really started, both Zhu Tong and Smith behaved calmly.

Throughout the morning, Smith immersed himself in reading the plan submitted by Zhu Tong, and Zhu Tong also extended Smith's plan word by word. With the lessons learned from last time, the document Smith prepared this time was only 28 pages and was presented in Chinese, English, and Japanese; And Zhu Tong's is shorter, and the mere twelve pages are finished, and it is also expressed in three languages.

It was this brief document that made Fenglu's reception room dull, and Zhu Tong and Smith occasionally asked for details or key points through their respective translators, and basically did not say anything.

There were no negotiations in the afternoon, and both sides needed time to carefully study each other's proposals.

Zhu Tong sent Smith's plan back to Shanghai, where it was evaluated by a team of experts who remained on the "East China Sea Knights". At the same time, it was also passed to Xiang Lao, and he transferred it to Wang Xiangjiao.

The two plans are very different, everyone knows that it is impossible to sign a contract according to either plan, and in the end everyone has to compromise to form a mutually acceptable document; Until then, there has to be a lot of saliva and scheming at the negotiating table.

In the evening, Zhu Tong and Matsui went to visit Mr. Carl at a high-end private hospital called Hayata in Kyoto.

When people are sick, they need to show their love according to etiquette.

Carl's face was very bad, Zhu Tong couldn't read the Japanese medical records, and Matsui Heizhi only knew after a rough translation that Carl really had heart disease and his blood pressure had been high.

Zhu Tong is not good at treating this conventional disease caused by the laws of nature, and the role of the butterfly god is also very limited, the important thing is that now is the critical time, and Zhu Tong does not want to and does not want to spend some of the Peng Ma Gong that has just recovered. So, the visitation ended in a quarter of an hour.

The two drove to the Tohana Gin Sake House, and Matsui Jinren completely lost the arrogance and arrogance of last time, and said hello politely and retired.

"Ping Zhijun, I have an idea." Zhu Tong drank a glass of wine, took a long breath of comfort, and said.

"What thoughts?" Heishi Matsui is enjoying a plate of sushi.

The two of them didn't eat lunch, and until now Matsui Heishi can't stand it. I didn't have a lot of food, just a few more drinks.

"I would like to ask you to come forward and ask for a board meeting."

"Hmm." Matsui said vaguely.

"The Board of Directors of United Ships." Zhu Tong said more specifically.

"Ahh Matsui Heishi dropped the sushi, his eyes wider than a light bulb.

Yukimi Iike and Heishi Matsui are both members of the board of directors of United Shipping, and now, Miss Yukimi Iike accompanies Mrs. Wilson to enjoy the sunny and fresh air at the Sky Night Ranch, and Zhu Tong can represent her on the board of directors in the name of Miss Yukimi Iike's fiancé, with only a small authorization.

"Was it a surprise?" Zhu Tong picked up a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, and immediately spit it out; "I'm still not used to this kind of cold food, and I only order it when it's hot."

Matsui Heishi also spit out the sushi in his mouth, it was not that he was not used to it, but he couldn't swallow it.

"Fuhua Shipbuilding has a close relationship with each shareholder of United Shipbuilding, and as a member of the board of directors, he should have the right to know the progress of the negotiations, and as the chairman of the board, it is necessary for Mr. Smith to explain the situation to the board members and put forward his own plans and ideas for everyone's review."

Zhu Tong finished speaking, with a high-sounding look.

Matsui Heishi drank half a glass of water and rinsed his mouth before saying, "I know why you sat in this position." At least, I can't do such a thing with such a high-sounding thing. ”

"Are you praising me for such a thing?" Zhu Tong thought about it again and again, but he didn't figure out whether Matsui Pingzhi's words were positive or derogatory.

"Of course, I think you're better suited than me to be the president of the Ichi Foundation." Matsui's expression is weird; But it soon became soothing; "Mr Wenger has presented a report warning the board that you are a 'businessman with ********' and will do whatever it takes to achieve your ends. I think Mr. Wenger's assessment of you is too one-sided. Sometimes you respect the rules, and sometimes you don't see the rules at all. ”

"Is there anything wrong with me doing this?" Zhu Tong asked strangely; Because when Matsui Heishi said "******** businessman", the smile on his face was very connotative.

In his mind, since Smith was negotiating with him as the chairman of United Shipping, he should of course be responsible to the shareholders of United Shipping. Regardless of the law or regulation, it is Mr. Smith's obligation to report to the members of the Board. With such a simple and labor-saving channel, you don't have to be a fool. How much is the so-called demeanor and face worth? Everyone is going to kill someone, and Nomura Hanami has become a victim.

"You're a stakeholder, and as a rule, even if Smith agrees to a board meeting, you're going to actively recuse yourself."

"However, I am exercising my rights on behalf of Miss Yukimi."

"That's why I said that Mr. Wenger is a bit one-sided about you. If you insist on attending as Miss's agent, Smith must respect and welcome you. ”

"I still think there's something wrong with what you just said, what do you mean by '******** businessman'?" Zhu Tong did not give up and continued to ask.

His relationship with Matsui Heishi can be described as a twist and turn. From being wary of each other at the beginning to becoming partners who talk about everything, they have gone through a process full of calculations and bloodshed. Therefore, Zhu Tong can be so frank, he needs to find out what Mr. Wenger means by what he says.

"Looking at the world around us, most people seem to be content with a life of flies. They have struggled and have lofty ideals. Today, their ideals and fighting spirit have long been wiped out in the face of the barriers of reality, and they are only satisfied with being able to live humblely. In the past, I used to mock them, and even for a while, I thought that and they were not people of the same world at all. But the past year has taught me that in the eyes of others, I may be a real wretched. ”

"Ping Zhijun, are you talking about me, or yourself?" Matsui Heizhi is well-educated in the end, and such a rather esoteric passage makes Zhu Tong feel a little dizzy when he listens to it.

"Of course it's me." Matsui poured himself a glass of wine; "Mr. Lee, Mr. Wenger's exact words are: he is a scoundrel. I used to despise such people, and even hearing their names tarnished my ears. After my grandfather died, I thought a lot, how many people in the world around me are not scoundrels? Among all living beings, how many people can be called true gentlemen? It's just that everyone is more clever in disguise. Grandpa said that since Mr. Li is a clever doctor, he knows the fragility of life. He said, you don't hurt people easily. ”

"I see." Zhu Tong smiled and touched the wine glass with Matsui Heizhi; "You can have this awareness, Ping Zhijun, you have the potential to be a gentleman."

"I'm going to say to Smith and Carl right now to request an extraordinary meeting of the board of directors of United Ships in the near future." Matsui Heishi drank the wine, wiped the residual wine from the corner of his mouth and took out his mobile phone.

"Don't be in such a hurry, I would like to introduce you to a new shareholder. She was a shareholder of United Shipping, and there needed to be a good reason to convene an extraordinary meeting, at least to ensure that she was on the board. ”

I wish the fairy tale sound has not fallen, and the two beauties walked into the Duhua Gin Wine House.

Yu Lan and the beautiful Geisha Miss Haruko.

"Let me introduce you to Miss Yu is the president of Donghai Investment, and she has just obtained a considerable proportion of the shares of United Ships from Mrs. Wilson."

"Ping Zhijun, when you first arrive in your place, please take care of me." Yu Lan handed over his business card.

Matsui Heishi was not very surprised by Lan's identity, and he looked at Haruko in a daze, not understanding why the president of Tokai Investment would come with a geisha.

"I don't really want to be on the board of directors of United Shipping; Ping Zhijun. Zhu Tong said leisurely.

In the suite bar area of another upscale hotel three blocks from Toka Gin Sakaya, Smith and Lord Hamilton are also drinking.

Mr. Wenger sat down across from them with his head bowed.

Paul still can't be contacted, and a full seventy-two hours have passed since the assassination, and now one can only hope that Paul has died in some remote corner, or in a sea of corpses.

All three of us were thinking about another possibility: What if Paul fell into the hands of the Ichi family's attendants?

Kyoto is the sphere of influence of the Iike family, and the ancient ninjas were best at stealth hunting. To make matters worse, they have lost the covert support of another collaborator, the Matsui family. As an outsider, anything that happens outside of this room is not much different from what happens in Africa.

"Paul! Why Paul? This is Japan, haven't you ever thought about buying off locals? Smith grumbled.

"Dear Watson, it doesn't make sense to say those now." Lord Hamilton waved his hand and asked Arsene Wenger: "When do you think Paul would play this card if it fell into the hands of Mr. Lee?" ”

"I'm afraid, he's already used it." Mr. Wenger said in a sinister manner; "Today he sent me a clear signal that I will not be allowed to set foot on the soil of Shanghai again. Sir, I will submit my resignation within a week. ”

"You're afraid of him?" Smith asked dissatisfied. He had drunk quite a bit, and his face was flushed sickly.

"I think Paul didn't fall into the hands of the Ichi family, but into his hands. If they know that I have something to do with the deaths of Carl and Mr. Hanami Nomura, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of Kutsu tomorrow. ”

"Poor Paul, may God bless him." Smith and Lord Hamilton said in unison. They were thinking about the same in their hearts, and they were all secretly glad that this matter had nothing to do with them directly.

In fact, they want to talk about poor Karl, and they all think that Karl's sudden illness has something to do with Paul's unknown whereabouts.

"Your Excellency, I don't think you need to act anymore. Carl knows what you know, and if that guy threatened Carl, he must know it too. Paul shifted slightly to keep himself a little further away from the Lord, that is, closer to Smith.

"He needs me to play the role of mediator, and I understand that." Lord Hamilton also moved his body, but he was closer to Paul, and almost next to him whispered: "I just got the news that the Chinese government will release a document that will be signed jointly by the four ministries next week. It is necessary to implement a new examination and approval system for all large-scale and super-large foreign-funded investment and joint venture projects. You are an expert on China, what do you think about this? ”

"I haven't seen the contents of the document, so it's hard to judge for the time being. But...... It looks like a game between the central government and local governments, and the joint signing of the document by the four ministries at this time should be a signal of the beginning of a new round of regulation. The Chinese government wants to rein in the frenzied pursuit of economic development by local governments, especially the number of mega-projects. Wenger slowly sorted it out.

"One of the provisions restricts the behavior of investors, which presumably means that shareholders need to go through some kind of review process before transferring shares. What do you think will be the impact on Fuhua Shipbuilding? "Lord Hamilton is practical, and he is more concerned about how this document relates to the matter at hand.

"Unfortunately, I think this document is very bad for us. If the asking price is too high, I mean, if the Fuhua shipbuilding project drags on any longer, it will probably be postponed indefinitely. ”

"Ahh My God. Smith exclaimed.

The indefinite delay means that the possibility of United Ships finding a new partner in the short term is almost zero.

Investment becomes a shareholder is only temporary, and if it becomes indefinite, it will be a huge disaster for any private equity fund.
