After the people of All Mining left,
Ronald expressed his concerns as if waiting.
“Sir, are you really going to get ten billion dollars?”
At that question, Lionel asked with a bit of annoyance.
“Why? Do you think it’s too much?”
“……”
“Why don’t you answer? When people ask you, you answer.”
“So, honestly, yes…”
Ronald looked at Lionel and barely managed to get the words out of his throat.
“So? How much do you think is suitable?”
“About five billion dollars…”
“You want to cut it in half?”
“That, that’s…”
Lionel sighed deeply.
“So you’re just wandering around the field. You don’t know how to negotiate like this.”
“Sin, I’m sorry.”
“Listen carefully. Negotiation is not about persuading the other party.”
“……then.”
“You make the other person accept it. Have you seen it before?”
“……?”
Lionel’s eyebrows twitched as the expression that it wasn’t it popped up.
“This is it.”
“yes?”
“this this.”
He twitched, but when Ronald didn’t notice, Lionel tapped his eyebrow with his index finger.
“Aren’t you so ignorant? You learn a little from Edward earlier. When I blink, you immediately cut off the conversation and take her out.”
“Edward… you mean Mr. Jean?”
“Yes, my friend. What do you want to say? So you’re hearing that you’re still a long way off.”
Lionel pointed to Ronald with his index finger and tapped into the air.
At that age, at that position, it was a gesture of whether that was the only thing.
Ronald felt very dirty, but he bit his lip and held it in.
“I’m selling this contract to that friend, Edward. But the bank will pay for the acquisition. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Are you saying you’re done talking with Mr. Jean?”
“It’s not over. But Edward’s friend will understand why I spent ten billion dollars. Unlike you, he’s a smart guy.”
“Do you mean by any chance that we’ll make big money by tricking the bank together?”
Lionel raised the corner of his mouth and tapped the air with his index finger.
This time it was a gesture with a positive meaning.
“You don’t have a lot of sense either. Actually, when we met before, we talked about 10 billion won, but that friend didn’t respond at all. So we didn’t talk about it any more and just opened the door with that amount today.”
“Why? If that’s the case, isn’t it better to talk in advance and match the words?”
“Think about it, you said that you had a friend who was bruising even though I gave you a hint and forced you to say something. If you do a pre-work, will that young friend take care of her expression? If I had spoken to you in advance, it would have been a disaster.”
“……”
“I mean. I showed you 10 billion dollars here again and expressed my intentions to Edward resolutely. Take 10 billion as he tells you and convince the bank to do it. He’s a smart guy, so he seems to understand what I mean.”
Ronald nodded and accepted his words.
“I understand what you mean. So you said that negotiation is about making the other party accept, not persuade.”
“Okay, now you understand?”
As Lionel asked with a grin, Ronald asked a question.
“But what if, if. What if Mr. Jean doesn’t accept 10 billion dollars?”

“Did you have a good conversation?”
Lionel asked us back to the office.
Lana said with a smirk.
“Your speech is unique.”
“……?”
“Usually they ask if they’ve made a decision or if they have any other suggestions to close the gap, but they said it went well.
“Unlike before, you seem quite nervous, I was asking if we had discussed it well and made the right decision.”
Lana sat down on the sofa and opened her mouth again.
“There are no decisions to be made, because there is no better decision than two billion dollars.”
Lionel frowned and looked towards me.
Then he twitched his eyebrows and blinked, sending all kinds of signals.
work hard, work hard
“Hmm, I think there is a big gap of 8 billion dollars because of the difference of opinion.”
“Mr. Jean, so what do you mean? Can I just fold the plate like this?”
“Oh, no.”
I reached out my hands and waved them.
I lowered myself with an exaggerated gesture on purpose.
“Then is there a proper way?”
“How about doing this?”
“……?”
“In the end, the problem isn’t the data. Miss Linderman can’t accept $10 billion to trust the data prepared by the bank, and at your company, $2 billion is ridiculous because Miss Linderman’s data and the situation in the field are completely different. You’re saying it’s a standard.”
“therefore?”
In the official line, the words are short.
Looking at your face, is that the limit of your patience?
“Why don’t you check the data recorded at Argyle’s field office first? In this day and age, you can get data from the other side of the world in minutes, so compare them. It could be.”
Lana shook her head at my words.
“At first, the problem was that Argyle’s latest data was not prepared at the Rao Tinto headquarters. As Mr. Jin said, we will receive it from the field office and check it.
But Lionel shook his head.
“No, I can’t. I recently had a problem with the base station in the Argyle area, so data transmission was impossible. That’s why I called here Ronald, this friend.”
“Yes, yes. Yes.”
It is false.
Even if it wasn’t for clairvoyance, Ronald’s body was full of evidence that it wasn’t true.
In other words, it is possible to receive the latest data, but it is not.
And the reason was in Ronald’s briefcase.
“Then how about this?”
The three people’s eyes gathered at my words.
“That’s Mr. Bucky’s briefcase over there. Since you said you’re the site manager of Argyle, there must be any data related to it. For example, Rough Diamond’s dignity.”
“……!”
Your eyes are popping out, Ronald.
“Whatever comes up, you put that data into Miss Linderman’s stuff.”
“It’s nonsense! It’s not even a bet, in some way…”
Then Lana cut off his horse.
“Do you have something to hide? Looking at your expression, you seem to be quite puzzled. Maybe there’s Argyle’s data inside?”
“Uh, uh… that… that, over there…”
Ronald’s protruding eyeballs alternate between us and Lionel.
I should help you make a decision here.
Lana recited the prepared lines as if waiting.
“If we reject Mr. Jin’s compromise plan, our bank will be removed from this acquisition contract.”
Lionel opened his mouth after glaring at Ronald with a look that seemed to be looking at garbage.
“Even if there are related data in there, it is only the present value of Argyle, and it will not reflect the future value. So, isn’t it meaningless to ask for data?”
“Then we do this. It’s not just related data, and if there is the latest data on Argyle’s production and quality, it’s a $2 billion contract, if not, it’s a $10 billion contract.”
Even though there is data, it has been pushed to the outside because it has not been disclosed until the end.
I don’t have anything good to disclose.
“No, you’re saying that the data stalker should treat the contract as if it were a gamble?”
“Well, I’m sure it’s not gambling. I’ll say it clearly, but if you reject this offer, we’ll be out of this contract. By the way, these rumors spread well even if you don’t tell them. Because the financial world is so fast.”
If CS Bank goes out, there is additional pressure that other financial companies will not be able to intervene in the future.
With all sorts of glances, Lionel said, ‘You’ve gotten to this point because of your useless words!’
I wonder why I can understand everything like that.
‘Just take it. Two billion dollars is a reasonable amount.’
For a lower price, Lionel wouldn’t sell either.
$2 billion was a marginal line that would not give up its will to sell.
It would be a disproportionate amount to give up on the sale as it is.
“Wow… Then what about 4 billion dollars?”
Lana snorted a snort at the pitiful slurp.
“There will be no further negotiations. Choose one, accept the offer or not.”
Lionel sighed deeply.
“Okay, I’ll accept the offer…”
“Then let’s check the inside of the bag.”
“No, you don’t even need to check. I’ll sign it for $2 billion.”
Apparently, even Lionel doesn’t know if the latest data was in his bag.
But it was clear that he too had read Ronald’s expression.
Because there was so much tea.
“Good thought, Mr. Thompson.”

After satisfactory negotiations with Lao Tinto,
I was dragged by Lionel to nagging my ears.
Damn, I wonder if I have to do this.
Recalling Argyle’s red diamond veins, he could barely stand it.
“Did it take a long time?”
At Lana’s question, I pointed to the dark circle and said.
“Can you see this? I feel like I’m being sucked in. Let’s go get something to eat.”
“Okay, ho ho. David will arrive in a little while, so let’s go together.”
I was contacted while I was away.
According to her, David was also in Melbourne.
It’s my personality that I don’t follow and I can’t learn.
“Hey, Edward!”
As soon as David appeared, he hugged his shoulder and expressed his pleasure.
“You’re still there, Mr. Wolf.”
“Don’t name him Mr. Just call him his name. There’s something about Mr. Wolf between us, Mr. Wolf.”
“Hahaha, okay.”
“Did you have a good job? Is our Lana doing well?”
“Ugh. If it wasn’t for Lana, it would have been a disaster. I negotiated for $8 billion, this time.”
“Then you take a bite. You saved 8 billion dollars, can I buy you a meal?”
I giggled and nodded my head.
“David, what are you saying to our VVIP customers!?”
Also Lana is coming. Huh.
Yes, my name is Very Very Important Pulson.
“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m just giving directions. You know of a really good restaurant?”
“Uh, yes. It’s a really nice place. I used to go there often with my uncle.”
What if David is the man he is talking about?
“Where did you go with President Gary Parker?”
“Yeah, it’s my go-to place to gamble at the casino. You’ll love it too.”
We were guided by David to a quiet restaurant on the outskirts of Melbourne.
From the exterior, it created a luxurious atmosphere of medieval Europe.
It feels like it’s going to be delicious no matter what you eat.
‘Wow, here’s something like this.’
This is a sign interior that fills one wall of the restaurant, which is rare in Australia.
It was left behind by famous people who visited this place.
“Lana, look here. This is my autograph.”
Did I ask you to come here to brag?
Then David said, pointing to his sign.
“This is your uncle’s signature. Isn’t that bad handwriting? This man’s signature and handwriting are the same. He also left a note in the guestbook, but no one but me recognized it. Ha ha ha.”
what? do you know that?
