Can you help me correct two sentences？ Thank you!

A small company wanted to expand its business by cooperating with Yi, a preeminent corporation, having its constant vendor for 10 years and unwilling to seek a new one. In the beginning the negotiation reached a deadlock and the odds of cooperation was very few.

Many thanks. "Having its constant vendor for 10 years and unwilling to seek a new one" refers to Yi, a preeminent company. You are right. I should describe a little more about the "small company". Thanks again!!!!

Sorry for writing an unclear sentence. Here "Yi" is unwilling to change its vendor, which is not the small company. Thank you for your correction!!!
