Although both parties had already reached a consensus, following the normal procedures, it still took three months of persistent negotiations before Beidou Military Industry acquired 17% of Qinghe Group's shares for a price of 31.2 billion RMB.
In fact, even with Sir Yang speaking out, it was not easy for a state-owned military industry to make such a significant move.
On top of that, Qinghe Group obtained a support policy: 50% of the internal personnel training expenses, once audited, could be subsidized by the government. This was a drop in the bucket for Qinghe, but it signified a commitment.
From then on, in the eyes of many, Qinghe Group was considered to have been appeased. Although the term "appeasement" might sound unpleasant, it was something many dreamed of—who would complain about having too many protectors?
