Chapter 81 - 80 Jump Back
As soon as they met, John excitedly said, "President Wei, I’ve discovered that your Flame Country really is a nation full of potential. That Blue Maple Group just now seems to be a corporate company from your country too, and they’ve shown a lot of sincerity. I think working with them would be very interesting."
Wei Xueqing laughed and said, "So Mr. John, have you already decided to cooperate with Blue Maple Group?"
"No! No! No!" John shook his head repeatedly and said, "Since we were the first to start negotiating for cooperation and have five years of experience working together, I need to see your opinions first before deciding whether to cooperate with Blue Maple Group. I believe I am showing a lot of sincerity, and so I hope you can show enough sincerity too."
Wei Xueqing nodded, "Thank you very much. Before discussing terms, I would like to tell Mr. John something."
"Please go ahead."
Wei Xueqing said, "Firstly, the cooperation between us began five years ago when my father signed the cooperation intention with the president of the company of Cui’er. Our cooperation not only helped Shangdong Group get through tough times, but I believe it also helped the company of Cui’er earn a good reputation, after all, Flame Country manufacturing is internationally renowned. All of your cups and furniture might be produced in Flame Country. We have an ancient saying, ’honesty bring profits, steady streams endure.’ I believe that the company of Cui’er aims for long-term development rather than short-term interests."
After Yang Chen finished translating, John said, "Of course, I wish our cooperation could last for a second five years, a third five years."
"So!" Wei Xueqing smiled and said, "Our company has five years of cooperation experience with Cui’er and understands its brand better, thus more capable of directing the brand’s path. Considering the brand influence of Cui’er and the corresponding soft power, we value it at ten million Northern Federation currency. If the company of Cui’er insists on investing ten million, we are willing to give up 20% of the shares, with Shangdong Group holding 80%!"
"What?" John looked at Wei Xueqing in disbelief, "Do you know what you’re saying?"
