The negotiation on the second day was about transportation and logistics.
As the big boss in this region, the East-Asia Federation naturally held a leading and dominant position in transportation and logistics.
However, on an international scale, besides the East-Asia Federation, South Asia had two other potential partners to choose from.
That was why Roy Lewis asked the staff to lower the negotiation expectations; otherwise, the chances of a successful negotiation would be minimal.
But if the East-Asia Federation's offer was similar to that of the other two partners, South Asia would definitely choose them.
Firstly, the two countries were neighbors, which made management and communication more convenient.
Secondly, they had similar cultures, which meant fewer obstacles when working together.
Taking Roy Lewis' advice, the staff changed their approach from the aggressive one they had used the day before to a more gentle and moderate one.
