However, out of caution, Lin Chen still paid more attention.
The probability of this transaction being successful is... 95%!
The probability that Olof will betray him is... 0%!
Although the probability of the final transaction being successful is not 100%, this number is enough for Lin Chen to accept.
While Lin Chen was making calculations, Orlov, perhaps thinking that Lin Chen was hesitating, said: "Sir, don't think that the fifty million US dollars is too expensive. What you want to transport is contraband, and the island country is not.
There is a garrison on the other side of the ocean, and if I don't take care of everything in advance, your goods will most likely be stopped at sea."
"Compared to not getting anything back then, US$50 million is definitely worth it!"
Lin Chen pretended to be confused for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, fifty million US dollars is fifty million US dollars."
"Okay, then I will give you an account and you can just put the money in. But sir, this is our first transaction, so in order to avoid risks, I need you to pay me half of the deposit in advance. Do you have
No problem?"
The probability that Olof will run away after taking the deposit is... 0%!
"That's no problem."
"Okay, sir, you are a cheerful person, so let's do this. Give me a call when your stuff is ready for shipment, and I will let someone else take care of the rest. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
Having finalized the transportation channels gave Lin Chen a little more confidence in Xiapu Company's transactions.
Next, he asked people to inquire about the situation of Kasumigaura Company, which also made Lin Chen understand why the Hayata family was so eager for the authentic Sesshu.
Because the matters related to Kasumigaura Company are now almost known to everyone in the island country's business community, the Inoue Kinao family quickly found out the results.
As one of the three major electrical appliance giants in the island country, Kasumigaura Company is already like a giant at the end of its life, and is about to reach the end of its rope.
Xiapu Company was founded in 1912 and has experienced numerous ups and downs.
But like many island companies, this company was abandoned by the times because it failed to keep up with the times when the Internet age came.
The rise of competitors from Huaxia and Bangzi has caused the performance of many of Xiapu's old businesses to gradually shrink and their turnover to decline.
The heavy financial pressure also made this electrical appliance giant gradually feel breathless.
In Lin Chen's previous life, Xiapu was finally annexed by Moss Island's company.
In this life, Xiapu's situation is also not good. Sansang, who comes from the Bangzi Kingdom, is already eyeing Xiapu and is trying to acquire several of Xiapu's core businesses.
In order not to be annexed by others, Xiapu Company is engaged in an arduous anti-takeover battle.
The battle has been going on for a while, and although there is no winner yet, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiapu's strength is too weak compared to Sansang, the super conglomerate of the Bangzi Kingdom.
It is only a matter of time before they can no longer hold on.
However, it is said that the chairman of Kasumigaura Company has been frequently visiting major banks in the island countries recently, seemingly trying to persuade them to provide financial support to Kasumigaura Company. It is not known what the final result will be.
Seeing this, Lin Chen already had some guesses in his mind.
The probability that my authentic Sesshu is the Kasumigaura company's hope in exchange for a loan is... 100%!
The facts turned out to be as Lin Chen expected. The Hayada family was determined to obtain the authentic Sesshu, probably in exchange for the support of the island country's bank.
As a national treasure of the island country, if the authentic work of Sesshu is used as a gift of favor, I am afraid that no bank executive will refuse it.
As for Sansang, they will appear at the auction that day, probably to prevent Kasumigaura Company from obtaining the authentic Sesshu.
After all, in the current war situation, Sansan already has an absolute advantage. If Kasumigaura Company cannot obtain the authentic Sesshu and cannot borrow a loan, Sansan's acquisition will become a foregone conclusion.
The whole story turned out to be like this...
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but think of Li Xiuzhen. If it weren't for this woman taking the initiative to provoke him, he wouldn't have taken action to seize the authentic Sesshu, and naturally there wouldn't be a series of subsequent opportunities.
So, in the end, he should actually thank this woman properly.
Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.
The Hayata family was really anxious about the authentic Sesshu.
So after just one night, the other party sent a message, asking Lin Chen to have dinner at the top Kaiseki restaurant in Dongdu.
Regarding this meeting with Lin Chen, the Hayakawa family was extremely cautious. Not only did the place they chose be extremely high-end, it was also said to be a shop frequented by high-ranking officials from the island country. When Lin Chen came by car, the Hayakawa family even personally visited the store.
Waiting outside the store.
Among them even Hayata Akira's father, the current president of Kasumigaura Company, Hayata Manabu.
Aki Hayata is already in his forties, and Manabu Hayata is already over sixty.
Two men who were almost older than Lin Chen's deceased father made a special trip outside the store to welcome Lin Chen's arrival, which indeed fully demonstrated the importance the Hayada family attached to this meeting.
After chatting at the door for a while, the three of them walked into the store and arrived at the private room reserved by the Hayata family.
The box is just outside a courtyard. Directly opposite the entrance is a French paper door leading to the outer courtyard.
The door has been opened, and you can see the trees, flowers and plants outside, as well as the regular sound of deer chirping.
In terms of environment, this place is no less than Hosokawato's mansion.
Lin Chen couldn't help but admired: "This place is really nice, it has a lot of flavor."
"It's good if Lin Sang likes you!" Hayata Manabu said respectfully, "Please!"
The three of them sat down. Lin Chen and Hayata Manabu each sat at a low table. Hayata Akinori actually knelt down beside him and personally served them tea and poured wine.
The word kaiseki comes from Zen Taoism.
In the past, monks from the island country only had breakfast and lunch every day, but no dinner. In order to resist hunger and cold during the long process of listening to Zen, they would hold a heated warm stone in their arms, which is the origin of kaiseki.
Later, there were refreshments for Zen monks, which eventually evolved into the current Kaiseki cuisine.
As the most high-end cuisine in the island country, negotiating deals while eating kaiseki is the most solemn way of negotiation among the upper class of the island country.
Therefore, although he may be anxious deep down, Hayakawa Manabu still patiently invited Lin Chen to taste the delicious food first.
One after another exquisite dishes were brought to the table. After knowing that it was Lin Chen's first time eating Kaiseki cuisine, the dignified Kasumigaura president Aki Hayata also acted as a commentator and personally introduced the origins of these delicacies to Lin Chen one by one.
An hour after eating the meal, with Lin Chen's satisfied expression, Manabu Hayata finally spoke.
"Lin Sang, I heard my son say that as long as we are willing to sell Kasumigaura's panel production line, Lin Sang is willing to sell our Sesshu authentic works?"
