Li Yifei hesitated. The earliest option was not necessarily the best, but it probably would not be too terrible, right?
Of course, the most important reason was Leon's recommendation, which was equivalent to the Rosenblatt Family vouching for them.
"This is a long-term business arrangement. I trust your recommendation."
Li Yifei agreed. Everyone could see the quotas available through official channels, but private allocations were completely concealed.
Among the Dark Faction of the Blue Star Federation, there was both cooperation and competition.
They worked together to gain more benefits from the Dark Empire, yet they also guarded against one another, afraid of being stabbed in the back.
Seeing Li Yifei agree, Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
Richard's request failing would not have harmed him in any way, but he personally still hoped the partnership could be established.
The broker's fee was secondary. The connections brought by this trade channel were what truly mattered.
Nearby, there was the friendship of the Rosenblatt Family; farther afield, the gratitude of the Li Family. Both were connections of extraordinary value.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Li. The Rosenblatt Family is also looking to expand into new markets, so there are concessions on both price and payment terms.
I can agree on their behalf that you may defer payment once and settle this shipment's bill with the next payment," Leon offered.
Since he wanted to be a good intermediary, he naturally could not favor either side.
It was also his responsibility to secure satisfactory terms for both parties.
This was an unexpected delight. For Li Yifei, the business was one matter, while Leon's character was another.
A person could be cunning and shameless, but even the most cunning and shameless person hoped all his friends were moral gentlemen.
"Thank you again." Li Yifei
