As the launch site project progressed, Osa was busy with various preparatory matters all day long.
He frequently held meetings and discussions with the engineering team and technical experts, personally handling everything from the site's infrastructure planning to the procurement details of various high-end equipment, striving to achieve perfection.
However, just when everything seemed to be going well, the partners suddenly put forward new conditions, demanding a substantial increase in their share of the project, otherwise they would consider withdrawing from the cooperation.
This sudden situation put Osa in a dilemma.
Increasing the other party's shares means that the Xiao family's profits in this project will be reduced, and it may also weaken the family's control over the future operation of the launch site; but if they do not agree, finding a new partner will take a lot of time and energy, which may cause delays in the project progress.
Osa was extremely anxious. He knew how important this project was to himself and his family, and he must not give up easily.
So he decided to negotiate with his partners in person and try to persuade them to retract their decision.
At the negotiation table, Osa argued his case and elaborated in detail on the achievements of the cooperation between the two parties and the huge development potential in the future. He hoped that the partners could see the long-term value of the project and maintain the original cooperation conditions.
However, the partner was adamant and refused to give in. The two sides argued back and forth, their faces red and ears red, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Osa realized that simple verbal persuasion might not be able to change the other party's mind, and he had to come up with a more attractive plan.
After careful consideration, Osa proposed to give partners a certain profit subsidy in the early stage of the project's profitability, and at the same time promised to give priority to cooperation with them in the subsequent related business expansion and provide them with more business opportunities.
The partners were somewhat tempted by the proposal, but they were still hesitant and asked Osa to give them some time to consider it. Although Osa was anxious, he could only temporarily agree.
At the same time, new developments were emerging in family relationships in the north of the town.
In the process of getting along with Morgan and the children, although He Jiayuan has gradually accepted this reality on the surface, she still feels a little bothered deep down in her heart.
She often fell into depression because of some trivial things. Zhenbei saw it and felt pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her better.
One night, Zhenbei accompanied He Jiayuan for a walk in the garden. The moonlight shone on them, but the atmosphere was a little depressing.
He Jiayuan suddenly stopped and said softly: "Zhenbei, I know I should accept all this, but sometimes I can't help but think, if there were no such accident, how wonderful our life would be."
Zhenbei held her hand and said gently, "Jiayuan, I know I am sorry for you and have wronged you.
But please believe me, my love for you has never changed, and I will work hard to get our lives back on track and give you and your child a happy home."
He Jiayuan leaned in Zhenbei's arms, tears couldn't help but flow down.
Just then, Morgan called and said that the child suddenly had a high fever and the situation was serious.
Zhenbei and He Jiayuan rushed back to the villa immediately.
Seeing the child in pain, Zhenbei's face was full of anxiety. Although He Jiayuan felt a little complicated, she still sent the child to the hospital with Zhenbei and Morgan.
In the hospital, the three of them anxiously waited for the test results.
After the doctor came out, he told them that the child just had a common cold and fever and would recover soon after treatment. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
After this incident, He Jiayuan's attitude towards Morgan and the child changed slightly.
When she saw Morgan's concern and love for her child as a mother, the hostility in her heart gradually lessened.
Morgan also felt He Jiayuan's kindness, and the relationship between the two women became more harmonious.
On Osa's side, after a few days of waiting, the partner finally responded to him.
They agreed to the new plan proposed by Osa and continued to cooperate in the launch site project.
When Osa heard the news, he was ecstatic. He knew that his efforts were not in vain and the launch site project could proceed smoothly again.
Osa sat at the negotiation table, his eyes fixed on the representatives of the partner opposite him, trying to catch a sign of relaxation from their expressions.
The atmosphere in the conference room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, and the cold air from the air conditioner seemed to carry a hint of chill.
"Everyone, we have been cooperating with each other so far and have always adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win. Now that you have suddenly proposed such a substantial increase in the shareholding ratio, it is really difficult for us to accept." Osa tried his best to keep his tone calm, but his words revealed unquestionable firmness.
Johnson, the chief representative of the partner, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and sneered, "Mr. Osa, the launch site project has now reached this stage. The initial investment is huge. If we withdraw, you will have to find a new partner. Not only will it not allow time, but you will also suffer huge financial losses.
Therefore, the conditions we put forward are reasonable demands based on the current situation."
Osa was secretly furious, but he knew he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mr. Johnson, you only see the immediate benefits and ignore the blueprint for the future we are building together.
Once this launch site is built, it will bring long-term and substantial returns, and the prospects for our cooperation are limitless.
If the foundation of cooperation is destroyed just because of a small dispute over shares, it will be more trouble than gain."
The two sides argued back and forth for a long time, but remained at a stalemate.
