Hearing this, Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice said in unison: "Who has a good relationship with her?!" X2 After saying that, the two looked at each other again, then snorted coldly and turned their heads away. Seeing this, Fujiwara Toyomi smiled, then held the basin and continued to move closer to the hot spring: "Come to think of it, I haven't taken a hot spring bath in a long time." Fujiwara Toyomi said this while pinching his shoulders and curiously said: “And it’s a hot spring in Mt. Fuji…” Hearing this, Alice Nakiri stuck out her tongue and said: “The hot springs in Mount Fuji are not that great, and the accommodation in the Rikyu area is super expensive.” Erina Nakiri resisted the urge to roll her eyes when she heard that. "The Rikiya is owned by your family, Miss Alice!"
"what!" Fujiwara Toyomi, who was holding the washbasin, stopped and looked at the hot spring business hours written on the frame hanging on the wall. He glanced at the timetable and asked: "It seems like it's mixed bathing time at this time. Is it okay to go over now?" "It's okay. Erina has already notified the person in charge there to clear the area." Alice Nakiri smiled and hooked her arm around Fujiwara Toyomi's shoulders and said: "That girl Erina really loves abusing her power." Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri glared at Alice Nakiri fiercely. It was this guy who said he wanted to take a hot spring bath and didn't want to squeeze with others, so she notified the front desk to clear the area and change. But afterwards she was accused of abusing her power? Hard! Erina Nakiri's fist is hard! "Eh? So this is called abuse of rights." Fujiwara Toyotomi looked like he had learned something new. "I thought that equity transactions like the one between Mr. Nakiri and Mr. Shu were abuse of rights." "Forehead..." Neither Alice Nakiri nor Erina Nakiri could respond to this. After all, the PY transaction between their grandfather and Luo Shu was carried out in front of them and even Minister Fujiwara. 15% of personal friendship shares, those who understand will understand. Seeing this, Erina Nakiri quickly said, "Let's go to the hot springs quickly. The venue can't be closed for too long." "Yes, yes, Erina is right, let's go." Upon hearing this, Nakiri Alice quickly pushed Fujiwara Toyomi's back and urged him. "Eh? Did I say something wrong?" Fujiwara Toyomi still had a smile on his face, but in the end he let Alice Nakiri push him towards the hot spring room. Not long after, the three of them entered the hot spring room, took a shower, and changed into white bath towels.
"Hot spring, here I come!!" Alice Nakiri happily pushed open the door of the hot spring pool. Next second, Luo Shu, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, blinked. Alice Nakiri, Erina Nakiri: “?!!!”. Chapter 330: The Courage to Give Up "why?" Alice Nakiri blinked and said with a strange look: "Erina, didn't you say to clear the area?" "Even if you ask me this, I don't know." Erina Nakiri grabbed her clothes with both hands and held them across her body, seeming to be hesitant to speak. "Has this place been cleared?" Luo Shu was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Dangdao didn't tell me, and I was brought in by the staff..." After finishing speaking, Luo Shu paused and said: "Could it be that I was taken to the wrong place?" Hearing this, Erina Nakiri held her forehead helplessly: "Okay, I should understand what's going on." In the afternoon, Erina Nakiri had seen Nakiri Senzaemon gather the staff from the imperial palace, holding a photo of Luo Shu and clearly stating that this was a distinguished guest of the Nakiri family, and asked the staff to treat him well. In this situation, Erina Nakiri thought about it and realized that she had specifically instructed the staff to clear the area. She didn't really say that she wanted to take a hot spring bath, but only told them about the time period for clearing the area and changing places. "I guess what I said was considered as an arrangement to entertain distinguished guests...14." Erina Nakiri looked helpless. "Wait, wait, what should we do now?" Nakiri Alice said in a panic: "Erina, can the room next door be cleared?" Erina Nakiri was just about to say, "Let's go back and wait for another two hours until the other hot spring pool is cleared," but at this moment, Fujiwara Toyomi suddenly walked past the two of them and went straight in. "Ah, it's Shu-kun, you're here to take a bath too!" "Yes." Luo Shu nodded, then looked at Fujiwara Toyomi who was swimming downstream to his side, leaning against the rockery, raising his head with a look of satisfaction, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. "It would be great if we could have some sake at this time." Fujiwara Toyomi said with a satisfied look on his face. Luo Shu complained in his heart about Fujiwara Toyotomi's big heart, and then said: "It seems that you are the only one here who meets the drinking age?" "Oh, is that so? What a pity."
Fujiwara Toyomi looked regretful, and stared at Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice who were standing on the shore in a daze. "Eh? Aren't Erina and Alice coming down? The hot spring is really nice!" Hearing Fujiwara Toyomi say this, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri looked at each other, and then looked at each other again. Finally, Erina Nakiri looked at Alice, who was ignorant and didn't know how to find an excuse to leave, sighed, tested the text with her feet, and then logged off as well. Seeing that Erina was brave enough to go down, Alice hesitated for a moment and then followed. However, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri, who came later, stayed away from Luo Shu and tried to find a secluded place with the cover of a rockery to lean on. An inexplicable awkwardness permeated the room. Instead, Fujiwara Toyotomi asked with a relaxed look: "By the way, has the cooperation between Mr. Shu and the Nakiri family been completely agreed upon?" "almost." Because of Fujiwara Toyoshi's words, Luo Shu, who was already embarrassed, suddenly felt relieved and was even willing to say a little more to ease the awkward situation: "Mr. Nakiri is willing to give up 45% of Totsuki's shares. Not to mention my appetite, even Lacus can't say anything against it." "Lacus?" Fujiwara Toyomi was immediately curious when he heard this: "Is it that Lacus? The Supreme Speaker of the DS?" Hearing this, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri immediately pricked up their ears. The Supreme Chairperson of SDS? And judging by her name, she seems to be a woman? "It's in the legend..." Luo Shu smiled and said, "It's her." After saying that, Luo Shu paused and said, "Before coming here, I talked to her. Our original plan was actually to give 15% of the dividends to the Nakiri family." What this meant, Nakiri Erina was shocked. SDS actually only planned to give the Nakiri family 15% of the profits? At this time, Fujiwara Toyotomi also asked curiously: "Is it the entire Nakiri family?" "Yes." Luo Shu sighed, and then added: "Including the department led by Miss Managi in America, and Totsuki International in Europe, the 5% of the three departments combined, in fact, is 5% for each region." Hearing this, Erina Nakiri opened her mouth, but couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa won't accept this condition, right?" Hearing this, Luo Shu glanced at Erina Nakiri and said: "Ms. Erina may have misunderstood something." After that, Luo Shu added: "This is the prerequisite for me to come to Ligong." Hearing this, Erina Nakiri was stunned: "So, the 45% equity that Grandpa mentioned before is actually giving up 5% on top of the 45% dividend from the cooperation?"
In short, Luo Shu, who represented SDS, proposed only 5% of the profit share at the beginning, but Nakiri Senzaemon felt that this share was too high and he had to give up another 45% before he could feel at ease. Suddenly, an idea came to the minds of Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri. What kind of new ingredients could make Nakiri Senzaemon make such a concession? "Ms. Erina seems to have figured out the situation." Luo Shu's words directly acknowledged Erina Nakiri's guess, and even said in a subtle tone: "I have to say, old man, he is unexpectedly a sensible person!" "I thought he would accept the dividend directly, but I didn't expect that he would be willing to exchange it for shares and return it." "Although there is a suspicion of trying to get closer, this skill of giving is really amazing!" In fact, as the controller of resources, the monetary profits that SDS gives to its partners rarely exceed 3%. But even so, there are still a lot of partners who want to get on board with SDS. The reason is simple: SDS is stingy with monetary gains, but is extremely generous with resources on the mysterious side. The reason for being stingy with money is still the funding-warrior behavior of the Research Department. 127 Scientific research relies too much on basic materials, and in modern society, basic materials can be traded with money, which leads to a tight budget for SDS and a high emphasis on cash. In contrast, they are not so concerned about the various mysterious resources that extend from the funds, such as the successfully replicated flesh and blood of monsters, plant essences, and even various types of medicines. Each partner can have a corresponding quota every year to purchase these mysterious products. And partners such as Nakiri Senzaemon are in urgent need of these mysterious products. Nakiri Senzaemon was betting that SDS's scientific research capabilities could bring the Nakiri family to a higher level, so he sold the shares of the Nakiri family's core enterprises without hesitation. To be honest, 45% of the shares are enough for SDS to play the role of a substitute. After all, among the shares of the core enterprises of the Totsuki Group, only Nakiri Senzaemon, Nakiri Munee and Nakiri Managi can collectively hold the remaining 55%. Once SDS joins forces with Nakiri Managi or Nakiri Munee, Nakiri Senzaemon will be in risk of being kicked out. This is also the reason why Luo Shu said that Nakiri Senzaemon is courageous. "Grandpa..." Erina Nakiri had a complicated expression when she heard this. She was wondering why her grandfather did not explain such an important decision to her clearly. Just when Erina Nakiri was feeling complicated, Alice Nakiri suddenly spoke up: "Can I also participate in the research of new ingredients?" Chapter 331: If I’m discovered, my legs will be broken, right? "Alice?" Hearing this, Erina Nakiri turned her head in surprise and looked at Alice Nakiri. But at this moment, Alice Nakiri blinked at Erina who was looking at her, with a provocative look on her face. At this moment, Erina Nakiri suddenly realized something and her expression became both amusing and helpless.
"This guy, is he still thinking about the previous bet?" The bet between Erina and Alice is about who gets to be a participant in the development of new ingredients, and the stakes are unimportant. What's important is Alice Nakiri's eagerness to surpass Erina. That's why Alice Nakiri couldn't help but ask this question in this situation. However, Erina frowned for the first time at Nakiri Alice's behavior.
