Chapter 67: Negotiations at the Restaurant (Part 1)

  "No need to be embarrassed, Mr. Yamazaki." But then Liang San smiled blandly and said, "I believe Jianwen has already told you before, I'm not a person who likes to haggle over prices. Because I'm not a businessman."

  "I'd rather settle it with one strike!" Liang Sanping's gaze flashed a hint of sternness, and he said to Yamazaki: "Agreed, we'll cooperate. Disagreed, we'll share a hearty laugh and part ways. I've given Jianwen face. It's what friends are for."

  Yamasaki heard this and unconsciously swept his gaze towards Ye Jianwen. At this time, he saw that Ye Jianwen wanted to say something, but opened and closed his mouth again.

  Apparently, he wanted to remind himself and others, but due to the unclear identity and status of this man, he had no choice but to give up.

  To be honest, Yamazaki and Otsu are struggling in their hearts. A 20% profit means that the profit of Wan Hong Co., Ltd. has been reduced to just a little bit.

  Then there's a prepayment of one million US dollars. This is no problem, although the amount is a bit large, but Bayhong Corporation can still afford it.

  The most difficult part left is that they need to purchase machines and Bay Macro Corporation has to pay in advance. This point is also extremely difficult.

  If the amount they purchased was small, Wan Hong could still afford it. But what if the amount is huge?! If there are too many machines, then the amount will undoubtedly go up as well. This also made Yamazaki a bit troubled.

  "Sir, I'm not trying to haggle. What I want to say is that we can prepay for the machinery you're purchasing, but if the amount is too large or there are too many items, Bayhong Corporation will have difficulty bearing the cost..."

  "Haha... Minister Yamazaki is indeed a straightforward person! Alright, we can set the annual procurement amount within one million US dollars. How about that?!"

  But then Liang Sanping burst out laughing and said: "I guess I didn't think this one through! No need to say anything else. Just a simple yes or no will do!"

  Li Sanping's words made Yamazaki's face change color. To be honest, if it were calculated this way now, the project would have become a white elephant.

  It's tasteless to eat it, and a pity to discard it. The profit of Wan Hong Corporation has been diluted to the extreme. Not to mention the burden of those advance payments and possible prepayments.

  This business, or rather this project, has too few profit points for them. But giving up now would be a great pity. Having come so far with the project, Baymax Inc. and Yamazaki himself have invested too much.

  And if this project doesn't succeed, he'll also be held accountable to the board of directors. As a company president, you personally went to Tokyo but couldn't even close the deal you were advocating for?!

  Undoubtedly, as chairman, Yamazaki's reputation will take a big hit.

  Yamazaki's face was uncertain, but Liang Sanping let Ye Jianwen sit next to him and chat in a low voice.

  "Otsu, do you think we should accept his terms?!" Yamazaki asked in a low voice in Japanese to Otsu Yunosuke beside him.

  Otsu Yurusan couldn't help but want to scold, you've already made up your mind and still want me to say this, what's the point?! In the future, if something goes wrong, are you going to make me take the blame?!

  But Yamazaki is the president, and Otsu Yuruka said that after all, he is just the branch president of China. The level is different by a huge margin.

  "President, I think we should agree to this condition..." However, Otsu Yui gritted his teeth and whispered to Yamazaki, "At the very least, getting to know and having a connection with this gentleman is worth doing business with!"

  "Although this project's profit is a bit thin, it can help us open up the Chinese market and promote our sales in China. I think this point is very important..."

  But then Ohstu Yurika spoke softly to Yamazaki: "Moreover, although the profit from this vegetable project is a bit less. The commission for machinery is also a sum of money."

  "Moreover, Ye Jianwen also made it clear to us. This time, the 300 mu is just an expanded experiment. Simply put, if sales are good, then the planting area will undoubtedly be expanded again! At that time, our thin profits will become thick profits..."

  Yamasaki nodded repeatedly as he listened to Otsu's words. In fact, he had considered these issues and had a bottom line in his heart. However, the two words "agree" could not be spoken from his mouth.

  It's simple, he can't afford to make mistakes. Even if he did, someone else would have to take the blame. Now there is no one around him except Otsu Yū.

  So besides Otsu Yunosuke, was there anyone else who took responsibility for this mess?!

  "What you said makes sense! Otsu, I'll do it your way then!" Yamazaki nodded, while Otsu looked extremely grateful.

  But Otsu Yin was secretly scolding Yamazaki, you've got a problem and then call me to take the blame. This trick is quite handy...

  "Mr. Liang, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept your conditions..." Yanagisawa said with a bow towards Liang Sanping, in a soft voice. Liang Sanping nodded slightly upon hearing this.

  "Alright, since you've decided then that's settled." However, Liang Sanping smiled and said: "Just write on the quotation you provided according to what we agreed upon. As for the rest of the matters, just leave them to me..."

  "Hi! Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Liang..."

  At this time, a shout of "Dishes are coming!" came from outside the door. With a smile, Ye Jianwen went to open the door and welcomed the chef who was serving the dishes.

  "Si Xi Wan Zi, Fu Shou Zhou Zi, rice flour meat, here comes a whole family fortune, with five-spice sauce Zhōu Huā, steamed oven meat...... You several please~~~"

  The chef cleverly rattled off all the dish names in one breath, then turned around and walked out of the room, even closing the door behind him.

  Yamazaki finally let out a sigh of relief now that the big thing was taken care of, and only then did he start to take in the appearance of the house.

  Although the decoration is simple, but overall this room can be considered a high-end hotel suite in Tokyo. Having stayed in the dormitory for some time, Yamazaki felt like he was going crazy.

  In a big country like this, there isn't even one five-star hotel. Many services are unavailable, and it's even hard to find something to eat at night.

  The entire imperial capital, once night falls, is almost pitch black. You can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand, and you can't find anything. Wan Hong's branch in the imperial capital was even forced to cook for himself over a small fire for several days.

  "Come on, come on... this is the Maotai I managed to get my hands on, you can't buy it outside! Everyone try some, everyone try some..." Ye Jianwen smiled and pulled out a bottle of wine, and Otsuka Yui couldn't help but have her eyes light up.

  He recognized that this was the Moutai wine he had only seen at state banquets. He had once seen it at a banquet hosted by the Foreign Affairs Department, and Dajin Yorichi couldn't forget after drinking it. It wasn't until later that he learned that this wine wasn't something you could buy just because you wanted to.

  You still need to get approval from relevant departments, otherwise they won't sell it to you. This made Oyu feel depressed for a while.

  Many Japanese people are not good at drinking, but they all like to drink a little. It's worth noting that the degree of Japanese sake is generally only 18-20 degrees, which is not in the same league as Chinese baijiu.

  For example, this bottle of Maotai taken out by Ye Jianwen has an alcohol content of 53 degrees, which is more than twice that of sake.

  "Hai! Mr. Ye spent a lot of money, and Okuma is deeply grateful......" Okuma Yuhara whispered to Yamazaki about how rare this wine was, and then said that it tasted very good.

  At that moment, it also sparked Yamazaki's interest. Yamazaki himself would sometimes pour some sake at home when he had nothing to do. Since it was good wine and everything had been discussed, Yamazaki didn't mind having a cup.

  "Come on, come on... let's go for one! Wishing our cooperation a success, and may we all make money!" Ye Jianwen was good at stirring up the atmosphere, smiling as he toasted the two.

  Li Sanping also smiled and clinked glasses with Yamazaki, then downed the drink in one gulp. Seeing this, Yamazaki naturally didn't want to show weakness, so he too downed his drink in one gulp.

  Otsu Yin is fine, after all, he has been in China for some time. For this high-concentration liquor, he gradually started to get used to it. But Yamazaki couldn't handle it, one gulp down and his throat felt a bit burning.

  It's still because Maotai was smoother at that time, if it were the previous Erguotou Shanzhi would have made a heroic sacrifice on the spot.

  "Good wine! Cheers!" Yamazaki was taken aback for a moment, his face slightly flushed. Only then did he regain his composure and said to Liang Sanping and the others.

  Liang Sanping smiled, he knew this was definitely Ye Jianwen's intention. This kid had never had a good impression of the Japanese, and now that he couldn't openly come after them, he would secretly collect these little devils.

  Li Sanping looked at Otsu Yūn eating a mouthful of food, and then smiled and raised his wine glass again: "Come on, Mr. Yamazaki, I think our cooperation this time is very pleasant. Although there was a small misunderstanding in the middle, the ending looks pretty perfect so far..."

  As he spoke, Liang Sanping picked up his wine glass and didn't wait for Yamazaki to speak before clinking his cup against it. Then, with a direct toss of his head, he downed the wine in one gulp, showing Yamazaki the bottom of his cup.

  Liang Sanping did this, and Yamazaki naturally couldn't just sit there without drinking. He saw Yamazaki stand up, bow to Liang Sanping, then pick up his wine cup and follow Liang's example by draining it in one gulp.

  "Mr. Otsu, although there are some small misunderstandings between us, it doesn't matter. Since you're a friend of Jianwen's, that makes you my friend too." Just then, Liang Sanping downed a cup with Yamazaki and refilled his glass, smiling at Otsu Yuriko as he said this.

  "Mr. Yamazaki, I still hope Mr. Otsu will continue to stay on the island to help us complete this project. After all, it's better to be familiar with things! Come on... Mr. Otsu, let's drink up and forget all misunderstandings!"

  As he spoke, Liang Sanping smiled and drank again. Meanwhile, Otsu Jun stood up with gratitude, raised his cup and also drank in one gulp...
