Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

"Li Hua, how do you think the acquisition is progressing?"

Kitahara asked in a low voice, wanting to hear his assistant's opinion.

"Judging from the current situation, the pregnancy is progressing smoothly."

Li Hua replied.

"However, we still need to have in-depth negotiations with Alibaba on the specific terms of the contract."

"you're right."

Kitahara nodded,

"I believe we are capable of reaching an agreement that satisfies both parties."

Chapter 157 Fan Daqin Joins NN Shares

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open again, and Fan Daqin walked in with several senior executives.

Their arrival broke the brief silence in the meeting room.

"Mr. Kitahara, Assistant Li, welcome, welcome."

Fan Daqin warmly shook hands with the two men, then gestured for everyone to take their seats.

"Mr. Kitahara, thank you for coming in person to discuss this important collaboration with us."

Fan Daqin smiled as he spoke, his eyes revealing the importance he placed on this meeting.

"Mr. Fan, you're too kind. It's an honor for our company to cooperate with Alibaba."

Kitahara Makoto responded, his tone equally sincere.

After a few brief pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

Just then, Fan Daqin gestured to his secretary, who immediately understood and turned to leave the conference room.

A moment later, the secretary came in with a document in her hand. She handed the document to Fan Daqin and then stood quietly to the side to wait.

"Mr. Kitahara, this is our detailed information regarding the acquisition project."

Fan Daqin handed the document to Kitahara Makoto.

"Please take a look."

Kitahara Makoto took the document, opened it, and began to carefully read through it. He meticulously examined every detail, making marks from time to time.

Li Hua also joined in, studying the document with Kitahara Makoto.

"Based on the information, your company's project has high market potential and investment value."

Kitahara Shin raised his head and looked at Fan Daqin.

"Yes, we are very confident about it."

Fan Daqin nodded with a smile.

"This is one of the reasons why we chose to cooperate with you."

"So, may we begin discussing the specific terms and details of the acquisition?"

Kitahara Makoto placed the documents on the table, ready to get down to business.

"Of course, that is our main topic today."

Fan Daqin nodded in agreement.

After in-depth discussions and negotiations, Fan Daqin finally agreed to Kitahara Makoto's proposal to acquire Alibaba Group.

However, just as the two sides were about to reach a final agreement.

In the tense atmosphere of the meeting room, Fan Daqin proposed a condition that surprised Kitahara Makoto:

“Mr. Kitahara, I am very optimistic about this acquisition plan, but I would like to receive 15 percent of your company’s shares as a condition for joining.”

Kitahara Makoto frowned slightly, knowing full well that NN Company was the core asset of their group.

A 15% stake means Fan Daqin will have significant decision-making power, which presents a considerable challenge for him. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke:

“Mr. Fan, I greatly respect your opinions and contributions, but 15 percent of the shares is indeed a large proportion for us.”

"Can we consider a more reasonable solution?"

Fan Daqin seemed to have been prepared, and he responded with a smile:

“Mr. Kitahara, I understand your concerns. But considering the size and value of Alibaba Group, I believe a 15% stake is reasonable.”

"Of course, we can discuss this further."

Kitahara Shin nodded. He knew this was a negotiation that required compromise from both sides.

After a moment's thought, he proposed a compromise:

“Mr. Fan, I am willing to give you eight percent of the shares of nn Company.”

"This expresses our welcome and respect for your joining us, and also ensures the stability of our company structure and decision-making power."

Chapter 158 Successful Acquisition of Alibaba

Fan Daqin remained silent for a moment after hearing the suggestion.

He understood that Kitahara Makoto had already made concessions, and that eight percent of the shares was a considerable gain for him.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded:

“Mr. Kitahara, I accept your proposal. Eight percent of the shares is a satisfactory condition for me.”

With this condition met, the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became much more relaxed.

The two parties continued to have in-depth discussions on the details of the acquisition and ultimately reached an agreement.

Ultimately, Kitahara Makoto successfully acquired Alibaba Group, and Fan Daqin became one of the shareholders of nn Company.

This collaboration has not only brought huge commercial benefits to both parties, but has also opened a new chapter in their common development.

After completing the initial meeting with Secretary Xiao Zhang in the conference room, Kitahara Makoto turned to Li Hua, his eyes revealing trust and anticipation for the work ahead.

He gently patted Li Hua's shoulder, his voice both gentle and firm:

"Li Hua, I'm leaving the rest to you. I trust you can handle the acquisition coordination with Alibaba Group. Report to me immediately if you encounter any problems."

Li Hua nodded, his eyes resolute:

"President Bei, rest assured. I will do my utmost to ensure the smooth progress of the acquisition."

Kitahara nodded in satisfaction, then stood up from the conference table and straightened his suit jacket.

He nodded slightly to the others in the conference room, then walked steadily toward the door.

Stepping out of the conference room, Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling exceptionally refreshed.

He knew that this acquisition and cooperation with Alibaba Group would bring new development opportunities to his company.

He hopes this collaboration will be successful and create a brighter future for the company.

Kitahara Shin walked to the parking lot, found his car, and got in.

He started the car, slowly drove out of the company gate, and headed towards the Starlight Tavern.

As he drove, Kitahara Makoto kept replaying today's meeting and the upcoming acquisition in his mind.

He knew that in the coming period, he would face more challenges and opportunities.

·····Requesting flowers··········

However, he also believes that as long as he works closely with the team, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve the company's goals.

Soon after, Kitahara Makoto's car stopped in front of the Starlight Tavern.

When Kitahara Shin returned to the Starry Night Tavern, it was noon.

At midday, the sun was blazing, and the sky was a deep blue, like a gemstone washed clean by water, sparkling and pure.

... 0 ...

A few fluffy white clouds drifted leisurely across the sky, like patterns drawn at will by nature, adding a touch of liveliness and vibrancy to the sky.

A gentle breeze, carrying a hint of warmth, softly brushed against people's cheeks, taking away the morning's coolness and leaving behind the unique warmth and tranquility of midday.

The trees lining the street swayed gently in the breeze, their green leaves shimmering with golden light under the sun, as if each leaf was telling a story of life.

Sunlight streamed through the windows onto the wooden floor, adding warmth to the entire pub.

Kitahara Makoto pushed open the door and walked into the store with practiced ease. Soft jazz music filled the air, creating a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere.

Chapter 159 A New Year's Feast at a Farmhouse

As Kitahara Shin entered the Starlight Tavern, the afternoon sun shone through the window onto him, and he saw Haruko bustling about.

Haruko noticed Kitahara Makoto's arrival, smiled, put down her work, and walked over.

"Mr. Kitahara, you're back."

Haruko greeted him warmly, her voice filled with affection.

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:

"Yes, you're back. How's the 'March 17th' test going, Uncle Ji?"

Haruko nodded, a hint of approval in her eyes:

"It went very smoothly. Ji Bochang was very professional. He got to know the applicants in depth and asked them questions. Each applicant demonstrated their talent and potential."

Kitahara Makoto nodded slightly in approval:

"Ji Bochang is indeed a great asset to our company. He has a unique vision and can always find the most suitable talents."

Kitahara Makoto glanced at Evelyn, who was preparing to greet guests at the front desk, and a thought struck him. He decided to invite them to lunch together.

"Haruko, Evelyn, it's lunchtime, let's go grab some food together?"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and extended an invitation to them.

Upon hearing Kitahara Makoto's invitation, Haruko stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and a look of surprise appeared on her face:

"Oh, really? Mr. Kitahara, you're inviting us to dinner?"

Evelyn also came over from the front desk, responding with a smile:

“That’s wonderful, Mr. Kitahara. I’ve been looking forward to having dinner with you.”

Kitahara Makoto smiled and nodded, saying:

"Yes, we've worked together for so long, but we've never had a meal together. Let's take this opportunity to get together."

"This also serves as a welcome party for Evelyn; I've decided to take you to one of my hidden gems."

Haruko immediately nodded in agreement: "That's a great idea!"

So the three of them walked out of the tavern together.

The midday sun streamed through the car windows into the interior as Kitahara Makoto slowly drove away from the Starry Night Tavern and headed towards the manor in the mountains.

He specially invited Haruko and Evelyn to come along, wanting to hold a unique welcome banquet for Evelyn at this farmhouse hidden deep in the mountains.

Outside the car window, the scenery was picturesque. Rolling hills, lush and green, and the fresh air, carrying the fragrance of earth and grass, filled the air.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground...

Inside the car, Kitahara Makoto drove with ease, occasionally chatting with Haruko and Evelyn.

They talked about the farm stay they were about to visit, imagining the food and scenery there.

Haruko would occasionally point to the scenery outside the window, introducing Evelyn to the unique features of this mountainous area.

As the vehicle drove, they gradually ventured deeper into the mountains.

The mountain road winds and twists, with lush trees on both sides, and the occasional chirping of birds can be heard.

Kitahara Makoto drove very steadily, which reassured Haruko and Evelyn.

Finally, they arrived at their destination—a farmhouse hidden in a valley.

The manor gates were open, with fresh vegetables and fruits laid out in front. Stepping inside, one was greeted by lush greenery, fragrant flowers, and a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car and led Haruko and Evelyn into the farmhouse restaurant.

The restaurant is decorated in a very warm and inviting style, with wooden tables and chairs and paintings on the walls that exude a simple and natural atmosphere.
