Chapter 2165 They probably have no chance.

A few people were chatting in the conference room while waiting.

A full hour passed, and the delegation from Meichuan Iron Mine still hadn't shown up.

One of the representatives glanced at his watch hesitantly and asked, "Inukai-kun, did Mr. Kundy agree that the negotiations would begin at eight o'clock?"

Inukai Akatsuki nodded. "That's right, that's what his secretary, Ms. Annabelle, said."

The man frowned slightly. "But it's already 8:30, why haven't they arrived yet?"

Inukai Akahiro paused for a moment, glanced at his watch, and said with some doubt, "Yes! It's already been more than half an hour. But the night before last, they were the ones who invited the representatives of Jingxi Steel Group to dinner. Yesterday, the negotiations with Zheng's Iron and Steel and Duke Mellen were also very punctual, arriving on time without missing a minute..."

"Hmph, it seems the people from Meichuan Iron Mine are deliberately arrogant!"

The representative said, somewhat annoyed.

Kotaro Miyazaki glanced at him and said unhurriedly, "They're already getting impatient? The more they act like this, the more they value our Yamayu Metals."

That man was the deputy general manager of Yamayu Metals, named Itagaki Okamasa.

Upon hearing Miyazaki Kotaro's words, he paused slightly, "Really?"

Kotaro Miyazaki said confidently, "They did this on purpose to give us the illusion that we are being ignored. That way, during negotiations, we will feel that if we don't lower our demands, there will definitely be no chance of cooperation."

Itagaki Oka suddenly realized, and the other representatives nodded in agreement.

"The president's insight is brilliant!"

"That's right. If the CEO hadn't reminded us, we might not have realized it..."

"The president has keen eyes; how could these little tricks escape his notice?"

After a barrage of compliments, Miyazaki Kotaro was quite pleased and smiled, saying, "They're just being presumptuous."

Everyone stopped rushing and waited patiently.

Sure enough, after another half hour, footsteps were heard outside the door.

A black man, about fifty years old, walked in with several other people.

A young Black woman entered, glanced around, and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. Mr. Kundy had to attend an emergency meeting, so he's late. Please forgive him."

Kotaro Miyazaki and the others stood up. After listening to the translation, he extended his hand and said with a smile, "We understand! Thank you, Mr. Kundy, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come."

Kundy shook hands with him and said apologetically, "Mr. Miyazaki, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have a seat."

The two sides sat down on either side of the conference table.

Kundy said directly, "Mr. Miyazaki, I'll get straight to the point."

Kotaro Miyazaki politely gestured, "Please go ahead."

Kundy said, "I think you have already had a comprehensive understanding of the basic situation of the Meichuan Iron Mine. Whether it is the reserves, the iron content, or the mining method, it is quite excellent."

"This iron ore mine is a key economic project for our country, and we must find a powerful and reputable international company to jointly mine it."

"Based on our understanding, Sanyu Metals does indeed possess considerable strength in Japan. The Miyazaki family behind it can provide strong financial support, and its international reputation is also acceptable."

"Therefore, we are very interested in cooperating with Shanyou Metal..."

Kotaro Miyazaki nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kundy, and your representatives for your trust. We, Shanyou Metals, have come to Sel with the utmost sincerity to seek cooperation with Meichuan Iron Mine."

"If we can reach a cooperation agreement, my company, Yamayu Metals, and the Miyazaki family will fully commit to ensuring that the Meichuan Iron Mine can start production and generate profits as soon as possible."

Kundy smiled slightly and said, "Then, Mr. Miyazaki, please tell us, what advantages do you have compared to the other companies that make you worth cooperating with?"

Kotaro Miyazaki said calmly, "Besides Yamatsu Metals, our Miyazaki family also owns a heavy machinery group. If our cooperation is successful, we can save a lot of costs in the mining machinery sector."

"Furthermore, Shanyou Metals has a successful track record in Africa. Currently, our copper mine, which we are cooperating on with South Africa, is in operation and everything is going well. The copper mine has already brought considerable economic benefits to the local area of ​​South Africa."

"Therefore, we can completely replicate this success story and reduce unnecessary losses before production. In this way, we can maximize our profits."

Kundy nodded. "Yes, what you said is true. So... I'd like to hear from Mr. Miyazaki about your considerations regarding our collaboration."

Kotaro Miyazaki, clearly well-prepared, calmly stated, "The specific cooperation method is that we will bear 80% of the project funds and be responsible for the investment in machinery and equipment. You will invest 20% of the funds, which will be loaned to you by us at an annual interest rate of 5%, to be repaid in installments over five years."

"Regarding the equity distribution, it will be based on the investment ratio, with our side holding 80% and your side holding 20%. After the loan on your behalf is fully repaid, it will be adjusted to our side holding 70% and your side holding 30%."

"Thirdly, all the ore mined is purchased by Shanyou Metals and is not sold to third parties. Pricing is adjusted in a timely manner according to international market conditions."

"Mr. Kundy, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

As he said this, Kundy crossed his hands together, his thumbs constantly rotating.

After he finished speaking, Kundy smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Miyazaki, aren't your conditions a bit unfair?"

Kotaro Miyazaki said "Oh" and then said, "Please point it out, Mr. Kundy."

Kundy said, "According to Mr. Miyazaki, our equity has been reduced to 20%, and we also have to bear the loan interest rate. This means we basically won't make any profit for the first five years. If mining doesn't go smoothly, the cycle might be extended. Isn't this unfair to us?"

"Then tell me, what conditions are you willing to accept?" Miyazaki Kotaro asked.

Kundi stated, “First, the investment ratio remains unchanged, and the 20% loan must be interest-free. Second, our share should be 30%, which will be adjusted to 51% for you and 49% for us after five years. Third, regarding sales, if the international market price is higher than Shanyou Metals' acquisition price, we have the right to reprice the product.”

Upon hearing these words, representatives of the mountain metal community, including Inukai Akahō, frowned.

They all knew that the Serbian government wanted to stimulate the domestic economy by mining the Meichuan iron ore mine, but their national treasury was empty and they simply couldn't afford to mine it.

That's why they thought of seeking cooperation with international companies.

They couldn't afford to contribute a single penny, yet they wanted a 49% stake and a say in pricing, which they found unacceptable.

“Mr. Kundy, aren’t these conditions a bit too harsh?” Itagaki Oka couldn’t help but ask. “If this is the case, our input and output are completely disproportionate…”

Kundy glanced at him calmly and said decisively, "This is our bottom line. If you feel it's inappropriate, then there's no need for us to continue talking."

As he spoke, he organized the documents in front of him, appearing ready to end the negotiations.

"Mr. Kundy, please wait a moment."

Kotaro Miyazaki quickly said.

Kundy looked at him and asked, "Does Mr. Miyazaki have anything else to say?"

Kotaro Miyazaki said, "Mr. Kundy, to be honest, your conditions are indeed a bit...unfair. We, Yamayu Metals, have come with sincerity and sincerely hope to reach a cooperation agreement with you to achieve a win-win situation."

"However, if we follow Mr. Kundy's terms, our input-output ratio is indeed disproportionate. Therefore... we would appreciate it if Mr. Kundy would consider this carefully."

Kundi smiled and said, "I think I've made myself clear. If you still can't accept this, then I can only apologize. I wish you all a pleasant stay in Karl. As a token of our gratitude for your long journey, we will cover all your expenses in Karl."

After saying that, he stood up without hesitation and led his team out of the meeting room.

Inukai Akashō said nervously to Miyazaki Kotaro, "President, they've left already? Should we...?"

Kotaro Miyazaki waved his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice, "No need. Negotiations can never be completed in one fell swoop! They are using a feigned retreat to advance. We must remain calm, or we will fall into their trap!"

Itagaki Oka hesitated before saying, "President, if they reach an agreement with China's Glory Company, then we..."

Kotaro Miyazaki gave a cold smile, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "The Chinese side... probably has no chance..."
