"This is already the biggest concession we can make, Ms. Hannah.
If you're still unsatisfied, then I suggest we cancel the North Stream Pipeline project, and you can discuss natural gas supply with other countries.
Perhaps some country will be able to offer you a stable, low-cost, and continuous supply of natural gas."
Wang Ye spread his hands, smiling as he spoke.
His gaze was resolute, showing no intention of compromising.
Hannah stared intently at Wang Ye's face, as if trying to discern some clue, but to her disappointment, Wang Ye remained unperturbed.
After a long while, she slowly nodded her head, "We will cover 60 percent of the pipeline construction costs... This proposal is somewhat acceptable, but I request the establishment of a specialized joint venture pipeline management company. After its completion, the pipeline will be managed by this joint venture, and the ownership will also belong to the joint venture."
