Chapter 9
At 7:45 I rode the elevator down to see that Sam had the car ready and was waiting for me. I motioned that I would be getting in the front seat and told her to go to the Hotel where we would be picking up Jack and Yomi. I looked down at Sam's long legs encased in her stockings and felt a stirring of my dick. Damn, I needed to get laid tonight.
We pulled in through security to the New World Hotel and Jack and Yomi were waiting for us. Jack dressed in a suit and tie, and Yomi in another silk kimono dress that was very short and was wearing nude colored stockings. She had her hair up with the chopsticks and was wearing a very tall set of red high heels.
Sam and I both exited the car and Sam opened the passenger side for Jack as I did the same for Yomi. Her skirt was so short that I caught a quick glance at her satin white panties as she sat down on the seat and pulled her legs inside the car. She caught me looking and smiled as I shut the door. Sam asked for the address from Jack and entered it into her Google Maps on her iPhone on the dash. Away we went into the traffic of Makati.
Twenty minutes later we pulled into a small older wooden building with Japanese characters on the sign. Jack had explained that this restaurant was in Little Japan, an area where Japanese businesspeople congregated to eat and for nightlife. There were a few hostess bars, KTV's, Sushi and Ramen places dotted through the two-city block area.
We walked in were sat to a table by a gentleman that seemed to know Jack. We were seated in a corner table away from the crowd. Jack ordered us some Saki and then asked if he could be so bold as to order for the three of us. I told him that would be great with me.
I wanted to get the elephant out of the room before we moved forward, so I asked Jack to explain himself about last night. He looked at Yomi and they said something silently between them. She excused herself to go to the ladies' room and Jack told the story. He fell in love with and wanted to marry Yomi's older sister, but her family was very poor. They didn't have the money requested from Jack's family for the dowry. Jack negotiated that Yomi be the payment. Even at 14 years old, she was very smart and beautiful. Much smarter than her older sister. Jack could see turning Yomi into his assistant, and when she came of age, his servant of other needs. It seems once a Japanese woman is married, she isn't very adventurous when it comes to sex. Jack was very kinky and had certain needs, he figured he would get them from Yomi. He was into BDSM and watching women with other women. He had trained Yomi well he said.
She was his servant in business and in bed. She would do exactly what he wanted, never questioning him. A complete sub. In the past year though, she started to push back. She even was in the process of interviewing with his biggest competitor. He explained he didn't pay Yomi much money because he had supported her through university and in her teenage years, that she owed him. When he got to this point in the conversation, Yomi returned from the bathroom.
On her return, we toasted with our Saki and talked business all through the many courses of Sushi and Sashimi. It seemed Jack and Yomi had done some research into our needs and basically had a full presentation for me. The info was just what I needed, but I needed to know costs. Yomi pulled a notebook out of her purse and pulled a small sheet out that laid out basic costs. Up front of $3,000,000 and monthly maintenance and engineering fees of $250,000. The lease fees for the equipment would be between $300-500,000 per quarter, depending on how many welding and painting robots we would need. She explained that these were contingent on finalizing the details of our needs, but she was confident that the price would not increase, only decrease as they built in an engineering factor to the rough estimate.
I was impressed, the current company I've been working with has worked on a proposal for two months and hadn't given me anything close to a hard number. They were leaning towards a cost-plus contract, which I was opposed to.
I asked about in house engineers to run the equipment and if that cost was included. We needed engineers to be at the factory running the equipment after the installation until the locals were trained. on all the ins and outs. We would also need at least one engineer on staff full time after that was accomplished to handle maintenance and upgrades. Jack assured me that these costs were built in, and that he could have equipment in Manila in 90 days after we signed the contract and paid the up front fees.
I was doing the numbers in my head and thinking about the different scenarios. I asked about a couple of further things and got the answers I needed to hear. I pressed him a little on the up front money, saying that it would need to be in escrow, rather than just a straight payment, and he said he would have to talk to his banker about the arrangements to make sure it was going to be within his credit agreement with them.
Yomi pulled up her phone and showed me pictures of the Japanese robots that they had installed in a large car manufacturer in Manila. She explained that the robots that we would get would be very similar, and that was the reason for the quick and competitive pricing. It would double their footprint in Manila, and they could absorb some of the costs by having two large contracts in the same city.
I was intrigued, but I needed a more formal proposal to submit to my customer. They said they could have it to me in 10 days ready to present. I told them that I would need a firm commitment on the date because I would have to fly back to the states to present it, and I would need to book my ticket by Friday. They agreed they would firm up the schedule and have a final answer on when the formal proposal would be finished by the end of the day tomorrow.
We toasted to the future and you could feel the excitement on their part over this large new contract. Yomi excused herself to go to the bathroom and both Jack and I stood to be polite, and once I stood I could feel the effects of the Saki. I was drunk. We both watched as Yomi walked away, captured in her elegance and beauty.
I sat back down when she was out of sight and turned to Jack.
"I'll give you the contract, but I have one condition."
He looked on as I said "I want Yomi. You are going to lose her to your competition, and I'm building a staff here in Manila. I want her to be my person in charge here."
"Bob, that's not the only thing you want from her," he said with a knowing smile.
"I agree, there is more that I want, but I'll leave that up to her. For now, if you want the contract, Yomi becomes my asset. And you know that if I do hire her, there will be five times as much business coming your way."
"Tell you what Bob, I will let Yomi decide. You can ask her yourself," He said confidently with a smirk.
Yomi returned a few minutes later and I ordered another pitcher of Saki. One it arrived I proposed a toast to "our future" and we drank the hot liquid down.
I turned to the beautiful woman at my left and said "Yomi, I have decided if we can firm up the details, I will sign a contract with Jack. But I have one request that will decide if we can move forward."
Lomi looked at Jack and then back at me knowing something was up.
I placed my hand on her thigh on the skin directly below her skirt "Jack has agreed that you will decide yourself if we move forward."
Yomi looked nervously at Jack while I slowly rubbed her thigh.
"Yomi, in order for us to move forward with this very large contract for your brother in law, I need a single concession."
I slowly moved my right hand up to the edge of her skirt and continued "You are the concession Yomi. You will become my property for the duration of the contract. You will run my Manila operation and you will service all of my needs, as you have for Jack these last several years."
Yomi was now glaring at Jack, and she and him began speaking in Japanese to each other. Jack turned to me with a big smile and told me that Yomi had declined my request.
"I don't know why you are smiling Jack, you just lost out on a huge contract," I said as I moved my hand under Yomi's short skirt. She was making no attempt to move it.
"Yomi, it will be up to you. This is more about my business and needing an intelligent person that can be my partner, than it is about sex. But I won't lie to you, I want you in every way," I said as I moved my hand up to her panties and lightly brushed across her pussy.
She turned to me and asked "My salary, how much will you pay?"
"I will double your salary you are making now, and I will pay for your expenses. I have a spare bedroom in my condo and you can stay there with me and you will have access to the car and the driver for your needs."
She reached her hand down and placed it on my arm, and I reflectively started pulling back. She pushed my hand back under her skirt and spread her legs for better access.
When my fingers reached her panties, I pushed them aside and brushed across her damp lips.
"How long will my contract be?" she asked. "Will there be a bonus for successful implementation of the project?"
I laughed and said "We can negotiate the bonus, but I could promise you right now, if you do as I think you will be able to do, it will be in excess of $50,000 USD."
