Negotiations are to be held with Fubon Financial Holding Co chairman Daniel Tsai (蔡明忠) over the Taipei New Horizon complex, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said yesterday amid a dispute over one floor in the 13-story building.

A standoff between the city and Taipei New Horizon — whose management firm is owned by Fubon — was sparked after the firm rejected the city’s demands that the Fubon subsidiary Taiwan Mobile Co vacate a floor by the end of last month.
