"..." Shi Feng fell silent when he heard Feng Qianyu say that.
It was perfectly normal to bargain during a partnership.
Both sides were fighting for the greatest possible benefit from their own positions.
It might seem clever, but it actually put one at a disadvantage. Since neither side knew the other's bottom line, whoever spoke first would inevitably be more easily tested for theirs.
And now that Feng Qianyu had said as much, how was he supposed to take advantage of her?
After a long while, Shi Feng still did not speak. Feng Qianyu, however, was not anxious in the slightest and instead leisurely admired the scenery around them.
"Twenty percent of the shares. What does Pavilion Master Feng think?" After thinking for a long time, Shi Feng finally spoke.
"Twenty percent?" Feng Qianyu froze for a moment, then gave Shi Feng a look that clearly said, You're trying to rip me off.
The channels controlled by the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, as well as the raw materials and recipes it could provide, were exactly what a trading firm needed most. More channels meant more customers, not to mention the ability to supply raw materials and recipes in bulk—things a trading firm lacked the most.
Although the Candlelight Trading Firm was indeed quite large now, it only truly had influence in two cities: White River City and Star-Moon Royal City. If they joined forces, that number would eventually become ten cities, even dozens, bringing profits more than ten times greater than what they had now.
The only things Shi Feng could really offer were, first, an abundance of Gold Coins, and second, items such as Intermediate Demonpower Armor Plates, Light Stones, and Basic Reinforced Armor Plates. Other than that, there was nothing particularly special.
Yet Shi Feng was only offering 20%.
